Man is in the heavens, parasites are born

Chapter 259 There is no easy way
After watching the Celestial Venerable of Morality completely disappear, the Azure Emperor sighed, "One era, one fruit... who will be in this era?"

Upon hearing His words, Meng Qi asked with considerable curiosity, "Senior, is it true that there can only be one Dao Fruit per era?"

The Azure Emperor nodded and said, "There can only be one. Even if you try to achieve perfection through reduction and emptiness, it will be useless. That's why the ancients who have achieved the prototype of the Dao Fruit are all vying for it."

As he spoke, He looked at Ye Fan and the others and said, "Compared to the other two, the path of transcendence for you fellow Daoists is relatively better. There's no need to argue about it."

Hearing Qingdi's words, Ye Fan shook his head and said, "In fact, our path is not peaceful either. If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Xuantian's help, if we wanted to transcend, we would have to embark on an unparalleled bloody path."

Ye Fan looked at Meng Qi, Gu Xiaosang, and the Azure Emperor, and said, "Everyone, think about it, aren't all the heavens, the world, and even the endless living beings part of the 'Dao'? If we change our perspective, can we use them to sacrifice?"

After the three sacrificial rites, they had keenly sensed something.

All these countless heavens, this endless spacetime, chaos, and the realms beyond the heavens are essentially part of the supreme Dao, and can be used for 'sacrifice' to elevate oneself.

Imagine sacrificing all of these, endlessly eroding the supreme Dao, constantly transforming yourself, and continuously expanding the scope of what you can ignore. One day you will be able to completely sacrifice the 'Dao' and become a true 'sacrifice to the Dao'.

Then one can recklessly restart, reshape, and repeatedly sacrifice the 'Tao' to become an unimaginable existence.

Hearing Ye Fan's words, Meng Qi and the others shuddered, thinking to themselves, "As expected, the path to transcendence is not easy!"

"So, in essence, it's actually very difficult to transcend," Ye Fan said with a smile.

"Can repeated sacrifices to the Dao, in this cycle, truly lead to the ultimate destination? In truth, the Dao fruits of your Immortal Emperors are not equivalent to the true 'Dao'!" The Azure Emperor asked Ye Fan and the others with some doubt.

"Fellow Daoist Qingdi has clearly forgotten how we became Immortal Emperors," Ye Fan reminded him with a smile. He then added, "Moreover, in fact, we are not incapable of fully attaining the Dao. Fellow Daoist Qingdi will understand this if you embark on this path in the future."

The Azure Emperor recalled the scene of witnessing the birth of the Immortal Emperor's Dao Fruit and immediately came to his senses.

Although the Immortal Emperor's Dao Fruit is not a complete Dao, it cannot be said to be a fraction of the Dao either. They are the Dao that is being completed on its own, rather than being like a Dao Fruit in its embryonic form, which is still just an embryonic form.

Moreover, the Heavenly Emperor also said that they are not incapable of obtaining all of the Dao, which is enough to prove that as the number of Dao Fruits of the Immortal Emperors increases, they can become the 'Dao'.

If the scene from just now were to be re-enacted with countless Immortal Emperor Dao Fruits, the Azure Emperor had no idea what would happen.

When the cycle repeats itself, spiraling upwards in a continuous cycle, something unfathomable, beyond imagination, and beyond comprehension will surely be born.

At this moment, not only the Azure Emperor, but also Meng Qi and Gu Xiaosang present admitted that they were moved. Such a transcendent method seemed to be truly amazing.

Of course, this has prerequisites. One must first become an Immortal Emperor, then successfully perform the Dao sacrifice, and then have a sufficient number of heretics before success is possible.

Becoming the Other Shore is difficult, becoming an Immortal Emperor is not difficult, or even more difficult, and performing the Sacrifice is even more difficult, but the subsequent steps seem to be easier.

The main point is that becoming the other shore and then becoming the Immortal Emperor are not conflicting paths; they are not mutually exclusive choices.

The Azure Emperor cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Heavenly Emperor."

"It's alright, we also obtained crucial information about heretical paths from you, fellow Daoist," Ye Fan said with a smile.

At this moment, Meng Qi, his mind racing, asked, "Three fellow villagers, how long will that door outside remain open?"

"There's no time limit for when that door opens," Fang Ming said, looking at Meng Qi. "It's not impossible for you to use the method of subtraction to seek emptiness in the future, fellow villager."

Upon hearing this, Meng Qi was overjoyed, for this was a great thing for both him and his friend, Bi An.

With another path available, the struggle on the other side might not be so intense in the future.

After a moment's hesitation, Meng Qi spoke up: "Fellow villagers, Xiao Sang and I wish to attain enlightenment here, reach the other shore, elevate the essence of our lives, and then depart. Do you think that's feasible?"

The Azure Emperor said that although this place is not as good as the real world, it is of a higher essence than the Nine Netherworlds and the Immortal Realm alone.

It can already become the other shore here, although it is not as good as the normal other shore in the real world, but its essence has been improved, and in actual combat it will not be much weaker than the normal other shore.

You can easily prove it again after entering the real world; it will be much easier then. After all, who wants to suffer without trying?
Having already proven itself once, the essence of life has been elevated, possessing its own river of time. Its essence has broken free from the entanglement of the river of time and the sinking into the sea of ​​suffering, standing at the highest level of all the heavens and myriad realms, and getting even closer to the 'Tao'.

Even a flawed "Tao" is still a "Tao".

“Of course, there’s no problem.” Fang Ming readily agreed. “I also know some things about the other side. Do you need my help?”

To become the other shore, one needs to trace back to a unified part of the past, see and contain a certain future, connect oneself in the long river of time, and then condense the illusory Great Dao into an illusory Dao Fruit.

By combining the power of retracing the past, possessing the future, and the illusory fruit of the Dao, one can completely transcend the river of time and be free from its taint, thus stepping out of the sea of ​​suffering and reaching the other shore.

At this moment, Meng Qi and Gu Xiaosang, in this vast and boundless world, naturally bear no trace of their own identities or past imprints.

For Fang Ming, none of these things mattered. As an Immortal Emperor, he could accomplish these things in the blink of an eye.

“The help from our fellow villagers has been more than enough,” Meng Qi shook his head and said, “We’re not the kind of people who don’t appreciate kindness.”

Looking at the teacup on the stone table, he felt a sense of unease. His intuition told him that after drinking this cup of tea, he would reach the pinnacle of his cultivation. Since Meng Qi said so, Fang Ming nodded in agreement.

In any case, here, the realm of the Immortal King is already able to slightly alter the past and future. Once Meng Qi's creation is perfected, this realm will be able to leave an imprint on the past in this supreme world, leaving behind the 'other self' in the myriad worlds to which this supreme world belongs.

As expected, after Meng Qi and Gu Xiaosang drank the tea, their inner worlds expanded rapidly, developing further towards the realm of reality, and their cultivation levels exploded.

In just a moment, he returned to his original state and reached the perfection of the Creation Realm.

Of course, their original self, that is, when they just entered this realm, was not their original self in the external real world.

However, the difference isn't significant, because their skill levels have already reached that point.

Seeing that Meng Qi was unharmed, the Azure Emperor stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Fellow Daoists, you have gained a lot this time. Taihao will take his leave first, and we will discuss the Dao again another day."

After the Azure Emperor left, Fang Ming looked at Meng Qi and Gu Xiaosang and said, "Fellow villagers, sister-in-law, cultivate diligently. What you have seen is only a corner of this world. This world is vast and wonderful enough that leaving a deep enough mark is not a problem at all."

Upon hearing Fang Ming's words, Meng Qi and Gu Xiaosang realized something and immediately clasped their hands in thanks, saying, "Thank you very much this time. You have given us hope of breaking free from fate."

The Azure Emperor departed and returned to the Fusang Realm in an instant. He stood quietly in the center of this sacred land, as if he were pondering something.

Suddenly, He looked towards the underworld and murmured, "Golden Emperor... It's a pity that external variables have appeared; the Three Pure Ones should have a higher chance of winning..."

At this time, in the underworld, Zhen Yuanzi, who had transformed into the Ghost Emperor, approached the Nine-Headed Spirit and reclaimed ownership of the underworld.

Not only the homeland of emptiness, but also the Pure Land of Buddha and the Land of Ultimate Bliss have returned at this moment.

The full moon rose from the underworld, its precious light illuminating all the heavens and myriad realms, its radiant light encompassing all things. It did not go towards the Jianmu tree, but instead went towards the realm of the Fusang ancient tree.

The full moon fell into the domain of the ancient Fusang tree, but did not stay there for long. Soon it flew up again and fell into the underworld.

"Out-of-town visitors... other methods of transcendence!" The Golden Emperor's voice rang out, neither sad nor happy, without any emotional fluctuations, completely unaffected.

For Him, it might not be a bad thing. The stronger Gu Xiaosang becomes, the closer He gets to perfection.

Things quickly returned to normal.

Twenty years later, the real world was plunged into darkness, even black and white were lost, and the otherworldly phenomenon of 'chaos' appeared.

The moment Meng Qi and Gu Xiaosang stepped out of the Gate of All Realms, countless figures flew out from the past and future, surrounded by their own rivers of time, embracing the countless figures that flew in.

Essentially, they have transcended the realm of creation.

Then, different otherworldly visions appeared, belonging to each of them.

Examples include Meng Qi's "The Reappearance of the Primordial Beginning," "Illuminating the Ten Directions," "Seeing the Primordial Beginning," and "Recreating the Era"; and Gu Xiaosang's works, such as "The End of Life," "Illuminating the Ten Directions," and "Seeing the Primordial Beginning"...

Essentially, they had already reached the other shore. Now they were proving the other shore a second time, and the speed was so fast that no one could react. In just an instant, the process was completed, leaving everyone stunned and speechless.

Meng Qi recalled everything, looked at Gu Xiaosang beside him, and said, "The next stage is the crucial period of the struggle. Even if we are to take a different path, that will be a matter for the next era."

“With the help of my husband’s fellow villager, the real advantage is now in my hands,” Gu Xiaosang said with a radiant smile. “We are also on the other side, so we are not afraid of them anymore.”

In the blink of an eye, the two had returned to Jade Void Palace.

Meanwhile, inside the myriad worlds, Fang Ming had already severed four separate bodies, intending to cultivate four Immortal Emperor Dao Fruits at once.

At his level, bearing such a large number of Immortal Emperor Dao Fruits is not a problem.

After unifying the Immortal Emperor Dao Fruits, one's cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds. Once the opportunity for the Dao Sacrifice is seized, the number of Immortal Emperor Dao Fruits one can bear will naturally be greater.

Because he cultivated to become an Immortal Emperor based on the 'Dao' of the Perfect World, and he also possesses information about the four 'Dao's, enabling him to cultivate the four Immortal Emperor Dao Fruits.

First, the 'Dao' of the Old Demon's side; second, the 'Dao' before the soul transmigration; third, the 'Dao' of the place where Jiangnan is located; and fourth, the 'Dao' of Meng Qi's place.

Because it is a completely blank avatar with no cultivation, it does not possess the characteristics of an Immortal Emperor. Therefore, it can naturally be placed in the world subordinate to its own supreme world to cultivate and enjoy the benefits of time acceleration.

Although only twenty years have passed in normal time, in a certain vast universe, two thousand years have actually passed.

His four incarnations have already cultivated to the level of Immortal King!

"No wonder Ye Fan and the others said that it went surprisingly smoothly. With their own Immortal Emperor Dao Fruit, there was no difficulty at all in breaking through."

After trying it out, Fang Ming's mind became as clear as a mirror.
