From Godhood to the Heavens

Fang Ping waved his hand and said, "True Lord, there's no need to be so polite. I have a favor to ask of you. I'd like to borrow the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts. Is that alright?"

Erlang Shen Yang Jian was slightly taken aback, his brows furrowed for a moment, and then he said, "That is naturally not a problem. However, although the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts are powerful, they cannot reach the Great Dao. The Emperor should take the Great Dao as the foundation!"

The Great Dao that Erlang Shen spoke of is naturally the Great Luo Realm, which is the ultimate state of complete mastery of the laws, transcending all past and future entanglements.

However, even for the avatar of the Eastern Emperor, that level of attainment would take a long time, and it would be even more distant for him. Reaching the Great Luo realm with physical strength is Fang Ping's current pursuit and an inevitable step on his path forward.

The laws of spacetime are not easy to comprehend. Countless people have touched upon this path, but only a handful, perhaps one or two, have truly mastered the way of spacetime and become famous for it.

Fang Ping's requirements were actually not high; he just wanted to be able to withstand innate spiritual treasures with his physical body, just like Yang Jian, and be immune to all kinds of magic!

Fang Ping shook his head and said, "Thank you for your guidance, True Lord. I have already made up my mind!"

Seeing Fang Ping speak, Yang Jian stopped trying to dissuade him. He nodded, and a gentle divine light shot out from between his brows toward Fang Ping.

In the next instant, a golden scripture appeared in my mind, and the mysterious characters seemed to expound the ultimate truth between heaven and earth, transforming the human body into a secret treasure.

Through countless trials and tribulations, the human body is transformed into a secret treasure, like a spiritual artifact. Each trial and tribulations is a single transformation until the limit is reached. After breaking free from the cocoon, everything returns to oneness, then the second transformation begins, and so on, in an endless cycle.

In the blink of an eye, Fang Ping sensed the profound mysteries of Yuanshi Tianzun refining spiritual treasures and Taishang Laojun refining the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir. This was a profound technique whose upper limit was higher the starting point.

Unfortunately, there is a vague sense of incompleteness, as if it is against all reason.

Therefore, the limit is only in the realm of Great Luo!

With a sigh, Fang Ping opened his eyes. Looking at Yang Jian, he said, "I wonder if True Lord has achieved perfection in his cultivation!"

Erlang Shen Yang Jian shook his head and then said, "After being conferred the title of god, the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts reached a bottleneck. It was only a hair's breadth away from perfection. Although he reached the Great Luo realm, he was unable to restrain himself and go against the river of time to reach the primordial world!"

Therefore, it is still under the rule of Heaven, and therefore cannot be considered perfect!

Fang Ping was no longer a novice in cultivation, so he naturally understood what Yang Jian meant.

What is the Great Luo? It transcends the Three Realms and is not within the Five Elements. Once one enters the Great Luo, one is forever proven to be the Great Luo. This means that one will attain the Great Luo Dao Fruit in the future. Therefore, even if one has been born before, one is equivalent to the Great Luo essence, and the timeline is brought to a close and fixed point.

This is the horizontal aspect; there is also the vertical aspect, which is to go against the flow of time. One imprints one's own Dao Fruit in the past and future. The longer the time of the reverse imprint, the more deeply rooted the Great Luo essence becomes, and the stronger the cultivation becomes.

Furthermore, one projects oneself into all the heavens and myriad worlds, reflecting countless things. One's shadow appears in every one of the countless worlds, and even if one perishes, one's name will still be passed down, and one day one will return to reaffirm the Great Luo Dao Fruit.

Even if it is not passed down by this name, the essence of the Great Dao still takes its place, illuminating the heart of Heaven, and returning from the long river of time.

The simplest example is the world of Journey to the West: Demon Extermination, which is a reflection of the primordial world. Perhaps in completely different worlds, one can hear the same names and legends of certain great supernatural beings, and that is exactly the case.

Upon hearing Yang Jian's words that he had already attained the Great Luo realm, Fang Ping couldn't help but take a deep breath. It seemed that once Yang Jian was fully recovered, he might also be comparable to the Great Luo realm!

Unfortunately, there aren't enough resources available for its cultivation now. You can't raise a true dragon by diving into the deep pool. Stirring things up in the small quagmire of the Great Yan Dynasty will only lead to its confinement.

I wonder where they've fought to. They should be heading to the capital soon, right?

Shangjing is the imperial city of the Great Yan Dynasty, the center of this country.

I glanced at Yang Jian. He was only at the seventh level of cultivation, but his true combat power was definitely far superior to the gods and demons of this world. All his supernatural powers and magical treasures were orthodox Taoist supernatural powers.

After hesitating for a moment, having obtained the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts from him, Fang Ping waved his hand and took out a bracelet. The space inside was not large, but within a hundred miles, it was filled with Origin Pearls and various incense crystals.

"These should allow the True Lord to regain some of his strength. Currently, the Qin, Han, and Song dynasties are expanding in all directions, and there are countless powerful gods and demons. This is the time for the True Lord to display his divine might. I will have them allocate cultivation resources to the True Lord."

In this way, the True Lord should be able to recover his cultivation faster!

Erlang Shen Yang Jian took the bracelet, scanned it with his divine sense, and couldn't help but show a hint of joy on his face. He was extremely weak at the moment and felt uncomfortable all over. It would be better if he could recover his cultivation a day earlier.

Without any hesitation, he reached out and took it, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

I once heard my master say that the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts were deduced by the three patriarchs based on the twelve ancestral witches. However, it was too defying the heavens, and the heavens did not allow it to be born, so it was broken into three parts.

They are the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, the Nine Revolutions Yuan Arts, and as for the last one, I don't know why..."

Fang Ping was slightly taken aback, not expecting such an unexpected surprise. He chatted with Yang Jian for a while longer, and when he heard the other party mention the Refining Word Technique, he immediately became curious.

"It is almost identical to the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts. One is to temper oneself. The ultimate of the nine transformations is the Refining Word Technique, which was passed down by the Grandmaster. It is to refine demons into weapons."

Transforming into my own divine weapon, my Three-Pointed Double-Edged Sword is the transformation of a three-headed dragon. Although it is only at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, it is no less powerful than some offensive and defensive spiritual treasures.

I've heard that the Golden Dragon Scissors of the Three Immortal Maidens were forged from the innate Yin-Yang Dragon, a rare species from the primordial era. Their power is astonishing; though an acquired item, they surpass even innate ones!

A hint of surprise appeared on Fang Ping's face. His cultivation was getting stronger and stronger, and his personal strength was even stronger. Even if his natal flying sword, the King Ping Sword, could keep up at this time, it would inevitably become useless in the future.

If one learns this method of weapon forging, and then uses the King Ping Sword to absorb the source and feed it back to oneself, wouldn't that be perfect?

Without any hesitation, he asked Yang Jian to teach him, and soon he mastered the technique. However, he needed to learn the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts before he could use it.

Fang Ping didn't mind; it was just a matter of creating a clone and giving it one more try!

As the two continued their conversation, the three armies advanced. Although Fang Ping had divided the directions, it was only to avoid internal strife and wasting combat power. Even so,

The gods grew stronger with each battle, and with each city they conquered, the enormous Origin Pearls and Incense Crystals would transform into nourishment to restore their cultivation.

Even if there are beings at the Eighth Realm, their numbers are insufficient, and they cannot stop the gods' advance.

Within the Divine Court, Emperor Nine Flames was utterly panicked...
