Chapter 692 The Perilous Situation in the Eastern Region, Multiple Mindsets
"You're right, senior."
Li Hao was now behaving himself, and the many insights he had gained from the boundless fishing state of mind were now contained within his heart.
He knew that his fishing line could penetrate the eternal pseudo-realm and reach the boundless realm of heaven and earth because the Immortal Emperor in front of him had gone easy on him, and that gap was most likely intentionally created by the other party.
Thinking of this, Li Hao couldn't help but feel grateful. Seeking the Dao was so difficult, yet this Immortal Emperor, whom he didn't know at all, was silently helping him.
"Continue your comprehension. If you wish to challenge the Tower of All Heavens, simply speak to the void."
"The Immortal Emperor said, and then his figure disappeared before Li Hao's eyes again."
Li Hao withdrew his gaze and carefully savored the boundless fishing mood.
The heart is boundless, and the world is limitless.
This state of mind is suitable for integration into the body and mind practices.
Including his breakthrough through fishing, he can now condense five top-tier realm hearts.
If they were to merge with each other, they would surely create an extraordinary and powerful realm core, but it would be somewhat difficult for them to become a royal realm core.
"I haven't yet comprehended the Emperor's Path of the previous four World Hearts, but now I can condense the fifth World Heart, which is good..."
"Thanks to the fourth chapter of the Daoist Canon, although I did not fully comprehend it, it raised all the Daoist paths to the eighth level, and it also helped with my understanding of the mind."
Li Hao felt that his ability to comprehend the Boundless Realm Heart was inseparable from the fact that many of his Great Dao Origins had reached the eighth level.
"There are also the two mental states of poetry and literature, and cooking, which have not yet been broken through to the thirteenth level."
"It feels like three hundred years have passed in a blur, three hundred springs and autumns have gone by, and now I am over seven hundred years old..."
"The Path of the Realm King..."
Li Hao took a deep breath and once again immersed himself in cultivation.
"Daozang..."
Li Hao silently recited the Daoist canon, comprehending its profound mysteries, and his experience in poetry and literature also increased accordingly.
However, compared to comprehending the remaining two skills, Li Hao was more concerned with finding the path to the coexistence of the four realm hearts.
"Four boundary centers, perfectly square..."
With his eyes closed, Li Hao's mind wandered through the vast galaxy, where countless brilliant stars were arranged in opposition, facing each other, and in all directions, which he called the universe.
"The boundaries attract and merge with each other, forming a quadrilateral. Just like the previous triangle, they will move closer together. However, the previous method of reducing and increasing the boundaries is difficult to maintain in a cycle between the four directions, causing the other three sides to merge rapidly..."
"All sides are secure..."
Li Hao opened his eyes and gazed at the vast, eternal pseudo-world before him.
A thought struck him, and he suddenly raised his hand. The sand and dust on the ground rose up, came to his hand, and then extended to the edge of the isolated land where he was.
As his power receded, the sand and dust immediately fell along the edge into the deep space of this pseudo-realm.
Falling...falling...
"Weight, attraction..."
Li Hao looked up at the dark, boundless sky. The earth was attracted, but why could the sky stand tall?
What is blocking and supporting this process?
He felt he was vaguely finding his way.
The support between heaven and earth is the boundless divine power, numerous energies, and the life of all things.
But... compared to heaven and earth, all life and the energy of heaven and earth seem so insignificant. How can they support the entire sky from falling?
"Could it be that something outside the dome is pulling at the sky, like lifting a pot lid?"
This strange thought crossed Li Hao's mind, but he knew it was obviously nonsense. After all, they also had their own domains and knew that once a domain was opened, it would become a world of its own.
Moreover, when the false realm of Heavenly Calamity was broken, there was nothing to support the heavens and the earth.
"The inner support... In this pitch-black starry sky, where is the sky? Where is the earth? Where is up, and where is down?"
"Heaven is Earth!"
Li Hao gazed at the deep starry sky where the sand and dust had fallen; at the end of that sky, there must be another heaven.
The sky is shaped like a chicken egg. How did it form in the first place, and how is it supported?
Li Hao increasingly felt that shaping heaven and earth was an extremely difficult task, no wonder the Immortal Emperor was able to condense a pseudo-world.
"Perhaps, if I could truly comprehend the deepest mysteries of heaven and earth, I could master multiple realms, but that's still too far away for me right now..."
"The sky was pulled up..."
Li Hao's eyes flickered, and the ridiculous thought from before seemed to have a flash of inspiration in his mind.
If triangles are mutually stable, why not think of them as kites? And the fourth angle, as the kite string, as the anchor point. As long as the distance between the fourth point and the triangle is controlled, stability can be maintained, and you can always "fly a kite"!
Thinking of this, Li Hao's eyes brightened, and he felt it was worth a try.
"Senior, I want to go to the Tower of All Heavens."
Li Hao looked up and spoke to the void.
As he finished speaking, an ellipse slowly opened in the void in front of him, revealing the abyss outside.
Li Hao took a step forward, turned around, and saw the Tower of All Heavens behind him.
Without hesitation, he glanced around, selected the 60th floor, and entered.
At the 60th level of the Immortal King Realm, he already possessed seven levels of cultivation, which is considered to be just stepping into the threshold of the high-level Immortal King Realm.
Li Hao is currently at the peak of the third level of the Immortal King Realm. Even with the display of many extreme and ultimate realm powers, he can only barely compare with the sixth level of the Immortal King Realm. After all, these ancient demons, when they cultivate to the high level of the Immortal King Realm, have also opened up many extreme and ultimate realm powers, so the difference between them is not that big.
It is mainly the blood of the true god.
With the nine-fold amplification from the Limitless Emperor Technique, Li Hao's various extreme and final realm powers were greatly enhanced.
In the blink of an eye, Li Hao easily killed the three ancient demons at the seventh level of the Immortal King Realm.
Instead of entering the next level, he summoned the Boundless Realm Heart he had just condensed and embedded it into the Body Technique Path.
He felt that this boundary core was even more comparable to the movement technique.
As the Body Technique Dao broke through to a higher level, a vast realm of Body Technique Dao surged into his mind.
Li Hao stood in the void, entering a state of enlightenment.
After a long time, the many Daoist thoughts gathered together, and the fourth Realm Heart condensed in his Realm.
With the birth of this fourth boundary core, the balance of the three boundary cores in his domain was immediately broken, and they attracted each other, showing signs of accelerating fusion.
Li Hao's expression was solemn. He unleashed the power of his True God Blood and, according to his previous plan, used the fourth Realm Core as a thread to drag three Realm Cores, flying a kite in his own Realm.
As long as the kite continues to fly in a loop, it can remain stable.
After all, he cannot achieve true, permanent stability yet; he can only seek a temporary balance.
Perhaps every few hundred years, perhaps every thousand years, it will need to be "reinforced" again.
Even so, it is already considered a great success and a rare achievement.
While Li Hao was comprehending the truth, people from various races in the abyss also began to challenge the Tower of Heavens.
When those who have broken through the hundredth level advance again, they often attract the attention of other major clans, since after breaking through the hundredth level, they will all become competitors.
Meanwhile, outside the abyss.
In the True Realm, Eastern Region, within the City of Ancestral Dragon.
A vast and mighty ancient demons gathered in the starry sky outside Zulong City, covering billions of miles of that starry sky, like a dark Great Wall of slaughter.
Zulong City, located at the head of the Hundred Cities Defense Line, is an exceptionally majestic and vast city, boasting a total of eighty-one top-tier King-grade teleportation arrays.
Each teleportation array is priceless and invaluable. Many powerful clans only possess one or two, which already indicates their extremely deep foundation.
The King-grade Teleportation Array can teleport an extremely large number of people at a time. If it is only for teleporting True Immortals, it can teleport a million at a time!
If it is a teleportation Immortal King realm expert, it can teleport a hundred people at once!
The fact that Zulong City has remained standing for hundreds of years owes a great deal to these eighty-one teleportation arrays, which have been able to continuously transport combat forces from various tribes in the Eastern Region, as well as many external aids, into Zulong City.
In this meat grinder-like battlefield, tens of thousands of True Immortals perish every moment, but every moment, more combat power is teleported in to replenish the ranks.
The corpses outside were piled up like mountains. Fighting amidst a sea of corpses and blood, countless war wrecks were not retrieved in time to be brought back to the city. In the endless war, they turned into dust and blood, leaving no complete corpses.
This tragic pain further fueled the anger of the various tribes in the Eastern Regions, who rose up in resistance.
"The two Immortal Emperors fought for a hundred years, shattering the very fabric of time, before barely managing to determine a victor. The ancient demons of the five races have accumulated over a hundred thousand years, giving birth to far too many. How many of the races in my Eastern Region are still capable of taking the field?"
In the majestic council hall of Zulong City, many top Immortal Kings and Quasi-Emperors sat in the hall.
Above, three towering figures sat quietly. In the center was the Immortal Emperor of the Dragon City defense line, who was also the Emperor of the Ancestral Dragon Clan.
Beside him stood a figure dressed in flowing white robes, stained with patches of black blood like plum blossoms. His hair was snow-white, and he exuded a faint smell of decay. This was none other than Su Jiuzhe from the Su family of the Northern Region.
His eyes were cold and devoid of any emotion. He casually sat on the steps, leaning the Spring Slash Emperor Sword against his back, like a wanderer with no home to return to.
"According to intelligence from the hidden hands within the Yama Clan, they are preparing for a full-scale attack. Several hidden traces have also been detected at the outer border of the domain, which are the auras of ancient demon emperors. It is likely that ancient demon emperors from other domains have also descended to the Eastern Domain to observe this battle."
"These hidden traces must have been deliberately revealed by them to intimidate us. The ancient demon clan... after years of division, it seems they are about to be reunited."
The two quasi-emperors spoke in deep voices, reporting important intelligence.
"I heard that the opportunity this time is that the Reincarnation Gate is expected to be rebuilt. They plan to join forces to rebuild the Reincarnation Gate. If they can get a Reincarnation Fragment, they can negotiate."
Another Quasi-Emperor realm expert spoke in a deep voice; he was also the ancestor of a major clan in the Eastern Region.
"Negotiation? Is it about bowing down? At worst, it'll be a bloody battle!" Another quasi-emperor's eyes burned with divine flames, his temperament was explosive, and his head was covered with a lot of downy hair, making him look like an angry lion.
"Does the Dragon Emperor know that this battle must be won!"
"They are already on their way to the Ancestral Dragon's Nest to prevent other ancient demon emperors from launching a sneak attack. They will arrive at the last minute."
"The plan to steal the fragments of reincarnation has failed; now we can only fight head-on."
The ancestors of each tribe all looked solemn.
The great clans that have been plotting for tens of thousands of years, or even longer, will now be wiped out in this battle.
This battle concerns the very survival of the Eastern Regions.
"Has the Ten Kings Plan, which was launched earlier, not been selected yet?"
“Only three hundred years have passed. If a bloody battle truly arrives, there will definitely be an emergency selection,” another quasi-emperor said.
"The catastrophe of ten thousand years ago is about to descend once again... This time, our Eastern Region will surely become the first blade to tear through the darkness!"
Having held out for three hundred years, they have accumulated too much blood feud and have no way out.
Pleading with the ancient demon would only delay your death; it's better to fight with your back against the wall.
Su Jiuzhe remained silent, gripping the Spring Slash Emperor Sword like a statue. After three hundred years of battle, his body had cracked once more. He had a premonition that he... might never be able to return to the Northern Region.
So be it, it doesn't matter where he dies in battle. He trusts that his two old friends will take good care of the Su family for him.
"Unfortunately, there seems to be quite a few regrets..."
"My Su family's bloodline is weak, and we have failed to produce a second Great Emperor..."
"That kid's grilled meat is pretty good... Grow up quickly, hopefully by the end of this calamity he can reach the Emperor Realm and have the power to protect himself..."
"Master...Master..."
Su Jiuzhe's eyes seemed to be looking into nothingness, countless moments of time swirling in his mind like waves, some memories already lost.
...
In the abyss, within the Tower of the Gods.
Within the 60th floor.
"Condense!"
Suddenly, a powerful pressure emanated from the sky. The boy stood tall in the sky, surrounded by a terrifying domain, like ocean waves, with four layers, like a gossamer veil, floating around him in the breeze.
"Four Realms!"
After ten years of comprehension, it finally came to fruition, and a powerful force filled the realm.
Li Hao had a feeling that when his mind was unified, the four realms could instantly condense and transform into a terrifying power that could sweep away everything.
"My cultivation level... has also broken through to the fourth level."
Although immersed in cultivation, Li Hao could sense the passage of time at any time through subtle changes in his physical body.
After all, he has now reached the eighth level of the Time Origin Realm, so even if he has been asleep for countless years, he can know the year and month as soon as he wakes up.
The immortal power within the Tower of All Heavens was extremely dense. His cultivation bottleneck was broken to the fourth level, and his immortal power increased four or five times again, far surpassing what it had been before.
Many immortal techniques can also be used at a more fundamental level.
"That's not enough, it needs to be even stronger... Five World Cores... In which Path is this fifth World Core embedded?"
"The Way of the Fist? We have the Way of the Sword, so the Way of the Fist can wait."
"I don't have many skill points left. I need a lot more to improve my Chaos Dao."
"I wonder if this state of mind can be repeatedly embedded..."
Li Hao's heart stirred, and he brought up the panel, his gaze sweeping over the four Dao Realms that had already been raised to the thirteenth level.
The Way of the Flesh, the Way of Imperial Control, the Way of the Sword, and the Way of Body Techniques.
He silently chanted in his heart, "Sculpt the mind of creation, embed it into the physical body!"
As he focused his thoughts, Li Hao suddenly noticed a notification appearing on the panel.
"Embedding successful! The Creation-Engraved Mindset has been embedded into the physical body!"
As he was being embedded, a vast Dao realm surged into his heart. At the same time, Li Hao discovered that, without any preparation, another realm heart had appeared in his own domain!
The fifth boundary core!
The moment this boundary core appeared, it shattered the previously stable situation of four boundary cores.
Li Hao's expression changed drastically. He wanted to catch his breath before slowly figuring out how to fuse with the fifth World Heart.
"It actually can be embedded in multiple places, but the fifth boundary core... I have absolutely no clue about it right now!"
Li Hao felt a little flustered and hurriedly controlled the five Boundary Hearts to increase the distance between them.
However, the five boundary hearts disrupted the original situation, causing chaos.
Li Hao's attempts failed, so he had no choice but to self-destruct and exit the Tower of All Heavens.
As he was teleported out of the Tower of All Heavens, the five World Hearts within his body erupted once more.
Li Hao had no choice but to enter the Tower of All Heavens again to try once more.
