“For Dongbo Xueying, the Void Dao is indeed important, but the Void Realm Dao is even more crucial!” Outside the Wind and Fire Divine Mountain, Cao Ya pondered, guiding Dongbo Xueying on his path.
If you don't understand, that's fine. But since you have a clear understanding and admire Dongbo Xueying, Cao Ya greatly appreciates Dongbo Xueying's behavior towards Daoist Tianxin and offers some guidance in words, which is perfectly fine.
"Since the beginning of time, within the infinite primordial space, among the naturally born primordial life forms, there may have been special beings who, due to the gifts of nature, held the power related to the soul even before they were born."
“Those who cultivate after birth, even if they rise to prominence, can at most advance the path of the soul to the second level of the Cosmic God Realm.”
"After attaining the Dao of Hunyuan, it was only through the support of other divine laws, as well as the powerful body and the feedback from the power of Hunyuan, that the soul was improved and gradually perfected without any flaws. But to be honest, in terms of enlightenment, it is not that this path has been successfully followed."
"So far, in terms of cultivation and attainment in the soul lineage, the strongest in the Infinite Origin World is only at the second level; there isn't even a single 'Ultimate' one!"
"Dongbo Xueying will become the number one soul in the Void Realm in the future!"
“The path to world-class… and even to the path of a lord, all rely on the Void Realm Dao.”
If the requirement for a world-class primordial life form is to follow the path of enlightenment or the path of faith, then the "ultimate" Void Realm Dao can take a shortcut, allowing for unimpeded progress on the path of faith.
When billions of beings in a source world are influenced by the void realm and worship a certain person, the primordial will in the dark will also believe in this person, thus allowing them to easily refine the origins of all things and become a world-class primordial life form.
At that time, with the Origin in hand and billions of divine laws under control, the surge in combat power will speak for itself.
This is why many God Emperors, in addition to their ultimate awakening, focus on the path of faith.
The path to breaking through the laws of magic and attaining enlightenment through force is extremely difficult, with almost no hope!
Gaining the sincere faith of hundreds of millions of people is difficult, but at least there is a direction to strive for. Unlike those two paths, which encounter bottlenecks and no matter how hard you try, you can't make any progress.
Of course, relying on the "Ultimate Realm" Void Realm Dao, with its profound and mysterious Daoist methods, it can indeed deceive all spirits, mislead them into believing in themselves, thereby leveraging the Origin World, breaking through the natural barrier, and transcending the shackles.
But the source, surging forth and perceiving all things, will eventually sense something amiss over time. Therefore, upon success, this delusion must be immediately dispelled, and there must be excessive compensation to make amends to all beings, so that the source will not riot in the years to come.
However, the "ultimate" path of the Void Realm is still a shortcut.
However, in the infinite primordial space, there are quite a few souls with exceptionally high essence, but they are either born that way or nurtured by the power of primordial energy. None of them rely on the divine laws of the void realm.
Therefore, apart from Cao Ya, no one else knew about this special path.
Even the eight cultivators who are the Lords of Hunyuan are not from the Void Realm.
Cao Ya was certainly not one of them, but he was familiar with intelligence and had a profound understanding of it.
"Moreover, I have now at least reached the first level in the Path of the Void."
Cao Yaxin also wanted to focus on the Void Realm Dao, but unfortunately, it was not suitable for him. Even with his insights into so many extraordinary systems and his learning of Dongbo Xueying's Void Realm methods, he had to stop there.
Reaching the second level is extremely difficult, let alone the "ultimate level".
"I'll focus on the path of enlightenment. I've made significant progress in wind, fire, lightning, light, darkness, and so on."
"This approach requires that more than half of the rules and regulations reach the second level."
"Since I have no talent for the Void Realm Path, it's not necessary to include it in my goals."
"Even considering all that, I have considerable expertise in the soul realm. With serious study and application of knowledge, I should be able to advance my Void Realm Dao and ascend further... Hmm, ultimately hopeless, but there's still a slight possibility of reaching the first level this time, as long as I can become a second-level cultivator..."
Suddenly, Cao Ya rubbed his temples and sighed softly.
More than half of the rules are not so easy to master.
The only saving grace is that Cao Ya is not alone; they can "pool their wisdom and efforts"!
"Well, I rely on myself!" Cao Ya muttered.
Because the situation on the Realm Heart Continent is already quite good, the evil demons have been defeated, the Undying Underworld Emperor has also been killed by him, the common people at the bottom have gained a lot of resources and benefits, there are more and more channels for upward mobility, the number of rising experts is also increasing year by year, and with Dongbo Xueying around, Cao Ya is not worried at all that his departure will cause any problems.
"I also need to venture into the Broken Tooth Mountains. I need to try more things in order to achieve great success on the path to enlightenment."
Cao Ya's divine sense swept over the spoils of war—the carcass of a four-hoofed beast—and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.
He had not yet obtained the supreme treasure for enlightenment, but he had acquired the remains of Hunyuan first.
These days, Cao Ya has made great progress in studying the four-legged beasts. In addition, the other spoils of war from the Undying Underworld Emperor have actually helped him reach the second level in the Path of Death!
"Below wind and fire, there is void and death, these two are the strongest on the second level."
"The rest are still on the first level, but those with lightning, light, and reincarnation are about to break through."
Cao Ya shook his head; however, this was still far from half of the required standard.
“Things such as time, fate, destruction, and cause and effect must also be grasped tightly and cannot be neglected.”
"Of course, haste makes waste. I have an endless lifespan, so I must take one step at a time, steadily and surely, in order to succeed on the path to enlightenment!"
"Anyway, my situation is definitely much better than that of myself in the [Eternal] universe who entered the system space at the same time!"
Thinking about the scene in the "Eternal Life" universe, Cao Ya couldn't help but mourn for his past self there.
No matter what, even if there are factional conflicts and battles, those are battles for seven-star giants. However, in the Realm Heart Continent, which is not on the frontier, no matter how high-level a seven-star Primordial Ancestor you are, you cannot break through the blockade of the Primordial Lord and wreak havoc in the heart of the cultivator faction!
Having acquired the combat power of a normal God Emperor at the peak level, and without foolishly offending the Hunyuan experts, Cao Ya can be said to be completely safe.
Becoming a world-class primordial life form would be ideal, but if not... well, since we're already in eternity, we can just cultivate slowly without any calamities. The more times we enter and exit the system space, the more extraordinary knowledge we gain, and there's still some hope; the odds won't be zero.
However, in the [Eternal] universe, the final era of the three thousand eras has arrived, and due to the threat of great destruction, the choice of which side to choose has become urgent.
However, in the final battles against the Immortal Kings and Heavenly Monarchs, regardless of whether they invested in or opposed Fang Han, they had no absolute certainty of surviving.
In that realm, how difficult it is to attain "eternal life"!
"Fortunately, he's not fighting alone!" Cao Ya thought to himself and left the Wind and Fire God Mountain.
The Broken Tooth Mountains cover a vast area, roughly equivalent to three Xiafeng Ancient Kingdoms.
Considering that there are many royal and king-level beings in the mountains, this area is not considered vast.
However, from the outside, although it appears to be a continuous range of mountains, once you enter, it is actually a vast and boundless strange space, which is exactly what is meant by containing a mustard seed in Mount Sumeru.
Hidden within that peculiar space are countless magical worlds.
Every world gives rise to its indigenous people.
Meanwhile, in this strange space, there are also floating islands, covering a vast area and fraught with danger, but also with opportunities.
The Death Clan lives on floating islands. They have extremely low rationality and almost no intelligence. In their eyes, any cultivator is only a matter of whether they can be eaten or not!
In contrast, the indigenous people possess sufficient wisdom and a cultivation civilization, but due to their unique origins, they have only followed the bloodline system and are unable to cultivate the system of rules and mysteries, the system of witchcraft, etc.
“Countless trillions of years ago, ‘Yuan’ and the Lord of Hunyuan joined forces to kill two Hunyuan Ancestors, one of whom was a ‘Thousand-Eyed Being’ and the other of a ‘Great Serpent Being’.”
“The precious things and dangerous organs on the two progenitors have long been taken away by the lords.”
"What remains now is a body that poses little threat—of course, this is true for Hunyuan experts. Below Hunyuan, even those at the peak of the God Emperor realm cannot be careless and may encounter danger."
"Because the remains of the two progenitors were placed beside the Realm Heart Continent by 'Yuan' and modified, the strange land of 'Broken Tooth Mountain Range' was created. The divine power contained in their corpses also gave birth to many worlds and native inhabitants!"
"The Death Fiend Clan, on the other hand, is born from the death of the Chaos Origin Life, which is why they are so insane and irrational."
"Because the ancestor's rank was too high, even a small remnant was enough to nurture low-level Chaos Origin life forms. Here, the number of such experts is not small."
"Therefore, the various worlds and their corresponding native inhabitants, as well as the floating islands and the undead races within them, and the lower-level chaotic life forms wandering in the strange spaces within the mountains, constitute an ecosystem."
“The cultivators of the Realm Heart Continent are actually from other races.”
In reality, Cao Ya wasn't particularly interested in those worlds and their native inhabitants, including the floating islands and the Death Clan.
He, however, was very keen on capturing low-level Chaos Origin life forms!
"Those beings with a shallow amount of Hunyuan bloodline within them are not worthy of being called 'Hunyuan life forms' in the infinite Hunyuan space!"
"That's why the word 'lower' was added specifically to distinguish it."
"Only those of higher rank are qualified to be revered by billions of Origin Worlds!"
"They can't freely traverse the infinite Chaos Origin Space, and they can't easily refine the Chaos Origin Power, which does seem a bit lacking."
“If a cultivator grows stronger and reaches the limit, he becomes a semi-primordial life form.”
"In comparison, lower-level Chaos Origin life forms are generally at the God Emperor realm, but among them, the weak ones may only be comparable to the early, middle and late stages of the God Emperor realm, while those at the Perfection realm are extremely rare."
"A semi-primordial life form... Hmm, to be able to cultivate such a body, each and every one of these cultivators must be at least at the peak of the God Emperor realm."
For the experts of the Realm Heart Continent, exploring the floating islands and acquiring resources is the goal.
Because of the power and madness of the Deathly Clan, they dared not act recklessly and had to use clones so that even if they died, their essence would not be harmed.
Each world has its own unique inhabitants. If a world is without a ruler, there is still hope for them to compete for the great opportunities it holds.
But what if a powerful being has already emerged among the original inhabitants of that world, controlling heaven and earth...?
With the ruler of the world, radiating influence in all directions, and having received blessings within this world, his power has multiplied, making him at least at the level of a top-tier emperor. Experts from the Realm Heart Continent, let alone competing for treasures, would have to steer clear of such a world!
In addition, the indigenous people are quite intelligent, and many of their schemes will be seen through and become ineffective.
Moreover, the resources of the floating islands far surpass those of the individual worlds inhabited by the native inhabitants...
Therefore, the cultivators' main focus remained on the floating islands!
In fact, even the natives would explore one floating island after another, hoping to obtain the treasures on them, stimulate their bloodline, and enhance their strength.
There's no way around it, the floating islands are too special. Even low-level Chaos Origin life forms often take over the mountains and become kings!
"The places with the best resources are occupied by the five supreme beings. The supreme beings of the Broken Tooth Mountains are at the peak of the Emperor level, which is the sixth star. They are at the same level as the God Emperors of other special worlds, only the titles are different."
Cao Ya pondered that with his current strength, he could fight against a Supreme Being on the floating island. Because the opponent had the home-field advantage, even if he couldn't win, there would be no crisis. He could freely decide whether to fight or retreat.
"The five supreme beings include two natives and three members of the Deathly Abomination Clan."
"Below are eight of the most powerful beings among the lower-level Chaos Origin life forms—known as the Eight Great Saints!"
"Then, there are the natives and the Death Fiends, who are roughly at the level of the 'Eight Great Saints', respectively called the 'Eight Great Emperors' and the 'Thirteen Sovereigns'."
"The Eight Great Saints of Lower Chaos Origin Life Forms, the Eight Great Emperors of the Native People, the Thirteen Emperors of the Deathly Fiend Clan..."
"These are the top experts of the Broken Tooth Mountain Range below the Five Supreme Beings!"
"Even in the late stage of the Emperor level, they are all outstanding individuals, only a step away from the perfection of the Emperor level."
“One or two, I’m not afraid, but if there are many, three or five of them attacking me... that’s quite dangerous.”
Whether it's the Enlightenment Treasures or the Hunyuan Corpse, it's obvious that unless these things are hidden on an undiscovered floating island, Cao Ya is destined to face off against the top experts of the Broken Tooth Mountain Range!
"Moreover, if you are planning to leave and go to places like the Thunder World, you will need to go deep into the Serpent Fang Corridor, and the credentials for entry and exit are the 'Thousand-Eyed Water Pearl' and the 'Serpent Fang Marrow Pearl'."
"These two items are also two of the most precious treasures of the Broken Tooth Mountains!"
"They are mostly under the control of the Five Supreme Beings. Any omissions were obtained by the Eight Great Sages, the Eight Great Emperors, and the Thirteen Sovereigns!"
Cao Ya sighed, realizing that the cultivation civilization of the Realm Heart Continent was indeed far inferior to that of the Broken Tooth Mountains.
Even with the Death Walker, the Undying Underworld Emperor is at most on par with the Thirteen Emperors.
Under normal circumstances, even the Undying Underworld Emperor and the Xia Emperor could only be considered passable in this strange space; as for dominating the Eight Desolations... that was simply a pipe dream!
"Although the remains of two great Primordial Ancestors remain, the Realm Heart Continent also has the arrangements of 'Yuan,' yet the results are so different..."
Suddenly, Cao Ya sighed.
“Worlds like Thunder World were originally created by seven-star beings. They are the training grounds for heroes of the Origin World. There are also powerful beings of the Hunyuan Origin level who have been in charge of overseeing and developing them. They often cultivate them carefully and pass on their Dao techniques and supernatural powers. Under this influence, there are more experts in these worlds, which is acceptable.”
"But where would we find these conditions in the Broken Tooth Mountains?"
"I'm afraid that Yuan is quite disappointed with the Realm Heart Continent."
"Only the Cosmic Gods have such a high opinion of themselves, thinking that all the various Origin Worlds are inferior to the Realm Heart Continent!"
