Chapter 177: Approaching

After becoming Immortal, the name 'Xuan Ming' had truly become famous throughout the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

Before this, Five Extremes could still try their best to conceal it, so he wasn't widely known, but this time it was completely impossible to suppress.

The two great battles after transcending the tribulation and achieving the Immortal Dao were earth-shattering, especially the latter one, which was comparable to a battle between Immortal Kings, and the result was incomparably glorious, simply like a myth.

This battle made his reputation soar, becoming known to almost everyone.

After learning of Xuan Ming's existence, the cultivators of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths felt as if they were in a dream; everyone unanimously believed that he would inevitably break through to become an Immortal Emperor in the future, reaching the absolute peak of the Immortal Dao.

No one doubted this; an Immortal Dao expert who was only a thousand years old, and one capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with the Ten Vicious, was an absolutely unique event. Looking back through ancient history, perhaps no such person existed!

After returning to Qingwei Heaven, Fang Ming first returned to Xuan Village, bringing a large amount of heavenly materials and earthly treasures to the village, and used Immortal Dao essence blood to baptize all the villagers, greatly enhancing their aptitude.

If it weren't for this village being willing to take in his Reincarnation Body, he would not have achieved what he has today.

Afterwards, he continued to cultivate in seclusion at the Five Elements Immortal Palace in Qingwei Heaven.

At this moment, his All Heavens World was still some distance away from the Great Chiliocosm and had not yet evolved to its limit; he still needed to refine more different Great Chiliocosm origin Dao principles.

At the same time, he was also allowing more Small Thousand Worlds to advance into Middle Thousand Worlds, and more small worlds to advance into Small Thousand Worlds.

Just as the two Immortal Kings said, after the Immortal Domain sent troops, the pressure on the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths greatly decreased within just a few years; the Other Realm had to divert a large amount of troops to deal with the Immortal Kings from the Immortal Domain.

For a time, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths actually returned to their former state, with not all True Immortals and Immortal Kings stationed in the Borderland.

For them, they needed to recuperate and prepare for the upcoming final decisive battle.

Everyone knew this was merely a temporary respite!

Somewhere in the Immortal Domain, where immortal energy was endless and immeasurable innate essence energy circulated, it was a supreme Immortal family pure land.

In the deepest part of the pure land, it was like Chaos, a hazy expanse. Nine figures shrouded in the radiance of the Great Dao sat cross-legged; with them as the center, Great Dao laws were infinite, spreading like an ocean.

"The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths have given birth to an extraordinary existence. He is only a True Immortal, yet he has already slain an Immortal King with an incomplete Dao fruit!" Someone spoke, their voice cold.

"Are we just going to watch? This isn't necessarily a good thing for our Immortal Domain," he continued.

Amidst the Great Dao Immortal light, an old man spoke, very calmly: "Undoubtedly, this is an ultimate achievement. He might become an Immortal Emperor."

"Qi Yu, who doesn't know you have a connection with the Ancestor Sacrificial Spirit? If that person becomes an Immortal Emperor, he will likely bring you along," the person who first spoke sneered, looking coldly at the old man who had just spoken.

"Lu Gu, don't speak so unpleasantly," Immortal King Qi Yu raised an eyebrow and said lightly, "Isn't it a good thing for someone to become an Immortal Emperor? Don't you want the Other Realm, which has harmed the ages, to be eradicated, and the Black Calamity, which has plagued countless years, to be quelled?"

"Don't flatter me!" Lu Gu sneered and said, "The footprints on the Boundary Sea dam explain everything. Breaking through Immortal King doesn't necessarily mean the Black Calamity can be quelled."

"Having one more expert above the Immortal King realm is always a good thing, isn't it? This indicates there is a path forward!" At this moment, a giant spoke up, supporting Qi Yu. He said, "Moreover, our Immortal Domain will also be safer, won't it?"

At this moment, beside Lu Gu, a person shrouded in Great Dao Immortal light spoke in a deep voice: "It is well known that the Other Realm has close ties with the source of darkness, and its origin is highly likely to exceed the power level of Immortal Kings. If that person breaks through, he might not necessarily take action against the Other Realm!"

"I'm afraid that by then, he might not necessarily cross the sea to quell the chaos," Lu Gu said faintly, picking up the topic. He said, "If he breaks through, he will definitely become the Heavenly Emperor. I fear the foundation of the Heavenly Court can only be established in the Immortal Domain, and the targets for establishing prestige can only be the Kings of our Immortal Domain, right?"

Qi Yu was very calm and said lightly: "Establish prestige? There are many Kings in the Boundary Sea. What reason would he have to attack our Immortal Domain? Our Immortal Domain and the Nine Heavens are ancient realms originating from the same source, originally one family. Why can't he establish the Heavenly Court in our realm? Is there a problem?"

"Or, did you do something in the past?" He narrowed his eyes slightly and frowned.

Under normal circumstances, it would indeed be impossible for him to attack the Immortal Domain, unless these people had indeed done something extremely excessive to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

As the saying goes, geese leave traces. If he truly breaks through the Immortal King's shackles, he will inevitably be able to trace the origin and see the truth clearly.

A giant smiled faintly and said: "Fellow Daoist Qi Yu is thinking too much. The Boundary Sea is vast. Haven't we already speculated that those above the Immortal King realm are mostly not true Emperors? So, I'm afraid there's nothing we can do about the Kings who have entered the Boundary Sea..."

"Moreover, the source of darkness is in the Boundary Sea. Who knows what is in the deepest part of the Boundary Sea..." Saying this, he smiled meaningfully.

"Haha~ Just as Fellow Daoist Qi Yu said, our Nine Heavens are ancient realms of the same origin. How could we do something that pleases our enemies? What I said just now was merely to be cautious, as one must be. After all, the Immortal Domain is a great realm where the essence of all heavens converges!" Lu Gu chuckled lightly, spreading his hands as if speaking helplessly.

"Is that so?" Qi Yu, however, didn't believe it, looking at the silent figures and the people beside Lu Gu.

"Haha, of course!" Lu Gu laughed heartily, looking at Qi Yu and the giant beside him, smiling faintly. "Fellow Daoists, it has been a million years since we last discussed the Dao. How about we Fellow Daoists have a good discussion about the Dao next? What do you think?"

He looked at the few people who had remained silent.

Someone said: "Then let's discuss the Dao!"

Qi Yu's expression suddenly sank. He knew he was going to be trapped here.

Under normal circumstances, so-called peerlessly talented people would naturally not be taken seriously by these individuals, as they were all once protagonists of an era, all existences with peerless talent.

But now it was different; someone had broken the norm, and they might even have seen some very unfavorable future.

They naturally wouldn't act openly and brazenly, as that would surely turn the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths against them. By then, if the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths defected at the critical moment and the Other Realm seized the opportunity to launch an army, the Immortal Domain would be in danger of being destroyed.

Therefore, they could only use the Other Realm to destroy this potential danger!

In the most core and sacred Immortal Land of the Other Realm, nearly two hundred ancient temples stood as far as the eye could see. Each ancient temple represented a true Immortal King.

Inside the ancient temples stood majestic statues. A small portion of these statues had cracked, indicating that their masters had met with misfortune.

However, most were intact, indicating that their masters were still in their prime.

However, although there were many ancient temples with complete statues, only a very small number of them emitted Immortal radiance, clearly indicating that the will of most Immortal Kings had not descended here.

"Fellow Daoists, changes have occurred in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Someone has created an astonishing system, which might become a major hidden danger for our realm." In one of the most core ancient temples, a statue spoke, its Dao sounds rumbling, echoing throughout this Immortal Land.

"It is indeed astonishing," another Dao sound rang out, saying, "To slay a flawed Immortal King from the True Immortal realm is unprecedented since ancient times. He has only cultivated for a thousand years; I fear even an Immortal Emperor has never displayed such terrifying performance!"

"Even the one who left footprints on the Boundary Sea dam couldn't have such a performance!" An Immortal King whispered.

"If this person is not eliminated, he will inevitably become a major threat to our realm and might even lead to our realm's destruction." An Immortal King's killing intent soared into the endless void, causing the entire cosmic star river to tremble.

"We must act immediately to strangle this person! We absolutely cannot let him grow, much less let him perfect this system!" As he spoke, a boundless Dharmakaya of an Immortal King in the Other Realm rose up, larger than even a Great Chiliocosm Universe.

"Don't be anxious, Fellow Daoist," unexpectedly, at this moment, an Immortal King spoke lightly, saying, "Fellow Daoist Hong Yu, I actually think this is an opportunity for us, isn't it?"

"That person's system is so astonishing. If he can perfect it and spread it, it might not be our path. We have been trapped in this realm for hundreds of millions of years. Perhaps we can rely on his system to break through to the supreme realm of Immortal Emperor!" This Immortal King spoke with fervor.

He had been trapped in the Immortal King realm for too long, too eager to break through, not even hesitating to propose such a method.

"Nine Emperors, you are playing with fire, no! You are raising a tiger to cause future trouble!" The Immortal King named Hong Yu rebuked, "He has such strength before even becoming an Immortal King. If he becomes an Immortal King, can anyone truly restrain him?"

"Our realm has many Immortal Kings, as well as Senior Kun Di, and the supreme giants who have entered the Boundary Sea. Would we still be afraid of him?" The Immortal King named Nine Emperors said indifferently, "Moreover, we have the origin ancient artifact. What is there to fear from one Immortal King?"

"origin ancient artifact?" A cold laugh came from Hong Yu's ancient temple. "Without a seed, how can it be activated? If something happens, will you sacrifice yourself? Even if you sacrifice yourself, you might not be able to activate the origin ancient artifact!"

Although the Other Realm was united against outsiders, there were also their respective interests among the Immortal Kings.

"Enough!" At this moment, a grand voice came from one of the ancient temples in the core land.

Instantly, the two Immortal Kings who were arguing immediately fell silent. That was a supreme giant of the Other Realm, named Wu Shang, whose strength was not below Kun Di.

"Wait until the Kings of our realm have almost all returned from the Boundary Sea, then we will attack the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. We cannot let that person grow, much less let him become an Immortal King," the supreme being's cold words spread.

At this moment, Dao sounds also spread from an ancient temple surrounded by fragments of the Time Great Dao: "That person gives me a very bad feeling. He must be strangled in advance. It's a pity Wu Zhong is there; otherwise, I would have already tried to kill his past self."

Red King, an Immortal King specializing in the Time Great Dao, was a giant among Immortal Kings, with powerful strength.

"Don't think about letting him perfect his system and spread it. Wu Zhong and Six Paths are not such fools," Wu Shang spoke again, very coldly, saying, "The choice to perfect the system is in his hands; when it is perfected is entirely up to him."

"But the Immortal Domain side is not easy to deal with either. The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are clearly a buffer world they use to wear us down," at this moment, an Immortal King spoke.

They were still very wary of the Immortal Domain. The power displayed by the Immortal Domain was not weaker than theirs; it was a very powerful world.

The two had been in confrontation for more than one epoch!

"Don't mind them," Red King's disdainful cold laugh came. "There are many factions within the Immortal Domain, and many conflicts. They are far less united than us. They have likely already started conflicts among themselves by now."

In fact, in terms of strength, counting the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the Immortal Domain was stronger, but unfortunately, they couldn't unite against outsiders.

"Those Immortal Kings, unless it concerns their own life-and-death crisis, they will not truly cooperate closely," Red King sneered.

Unlike the Immortal Domain, the highest level of the Other Realm could suppress dissenting opinions, whereas the Immortal Domain did not have this ability.

Red King said indifferently: "Moreover, some old fellows in the Immortal Domain have done some things in the past. They also do not wish to see an Immortal Emperor appear in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. They are also afraid of being settled with."

The reason why some powerful Immortal Kings in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths fell was closely related to the actions of some old fellows in the Immortal Domain.

"Just watch. The Immortal Domain's troop deployment this time will most likely just be a strong start with a weak finish and won't last long," Wu Shang's very confident voice spread.

Five thousand years of time flowed by, Fang Ming remained seated cross-legged in the core area of the Five Elements Immortal Palace, cultivating, without moving.

Until a beam of Immortal light descended from the sky, landing before him.

This was an invitation, inviting him to attend a grand Dao discussion event in the Purple Bamboo Forest in the Southern Sea.

Looking at his attribute panel, Fang Ming muttered to himself silently: "Alright then, going there would be good."
