"Pangu's essence blood?"
Li Ming's heart stirred as he looked at the crystal in front of him, which was about the length and width of a palm and shaped like a droplet.
He now has an extremely sharp eye.
Naturally, one can clearly recognize the aura of the primordial life substance contained within it, without a doubt.
Moreover, Houtu Niangniang is a figure of great stature; why would she lie?
Without hesitation, Li Ming reached out and took it, placing it in his palm.
An endless stream of energy seemed to gush forth from it; even a touch could reveal its immense weight in a mere wisp of its emanating aura.
Without a doubt, this is the relic of Pangu, the first transcendent being in all the heavens and myriad realms.
Legend has it that after Pangu separated the heavens and the chaotic sea, he went to other unknown places. No one knew his purpose, only that he was the ancestor of creation and left behind the name Pangu.
The drop of Pangu's essence blood transformed into liquid and merged into Li Ming's body, nourishing his physical body and inner world.
At this moment, the inner world of Li Ming once again advanced and leaped forward. In the process, countless secrets such as the laws of the world, the will of the Great Dao, and the mysteries of life flooded into Li Ming's mind.
His cultivation was replenished, his blood and qi surged, his true essence boiled, and his martial arts and supernatural powers changed one after another. In the process of the world's evolution, he himself also received unimaginable blessings, which can be said to be unimaginable.
Countless particles of light merged into the cave world, Li Ming's brow glowed, and his sea of consciousness was filled with splendor.
His body was surrounded by a radiant rainbow of light, and the laws of the Great Dao manifested in celebration.
Within his mind, a nine-story staircase materialized, forged from celestial jade. At the very top of the staircase, a majestic and sacred gate stood, its shape hazy and indistinct, shrouded in a mysterious and ancient mist.
This is the gate to the other shore, and also a symbol of immortality and perfection.
"After achieving immortality and perfection, one transcends. However, transcendence is not a state of being, but a different kind of existence. As the saying goes, 'To be reborn, one must first be destroyed.' This is a cycle, the law of all things, and even immortality cannot escape this law."
What about those who live as long as heaven and earth?
Even the heavens and earth have a lifespan.
Transcendence means transcending life and death, transcending fate, transcending time…
Endless insights emanated from Li Ming's mind.
As he pushed open the door, what came into view was...
The mighty river of time flows on, its endless waves washing away all time and years. Li Ming stands amidst it all, like a reef, unmoved by the passage of time.
In all the realms, there are only a handful of experts at the Immortal Perfection level. They possess unparalleled power and can be said to be unaffected by time. Although they cannot arbitrarily distort time or change the past, they can still exert influence. If they are willing to withstand the backlash of the river of time, they can also do some heaven-defying things.
Especially figures like the Heavenly Emperor and the Demon Ancestor, who hold the universe in their hands, can conceal almost everything except for a few powerful beings.
Normally, the strength of the Immortal Perfection level has reached its limit, and only one step away from transcendence is needed.
In Li Ming's understanding, transcendence means shedding cause and effect, severing destiny, and being unaffected by the Heavenly Dao. Taking this step is to become a Great Luo Golden Immortal, reaching the Primordial Chaos Realm.
"Immortal perfection?"
At the same time, a sudden inspiration struck, and earth-shattering changes took place within the grotto-heaven world. The heavens and earth hummed, world barriers formed, and ancient truths such as chaos, primordial chaos, and primordial chaos burst forth.
Compared to before, it was expanded by tens of millions of times, and infinite information about the mysteries of the world and the ultimate nature of the universe flooded into Li Ming's mind.
Between heaven and earth, it seemed as if the will of Heaven had spoken, conveying the advancement of a world.
At this moment, the causes and effects of his past and all his secrets were revealed.
Scenes from the past flashed rapidly before his eyes.
Li Ming suddenly realized that what he thought was his past life was actually his previous life.
In his previous life, he was a transmigrator who traveled from the blue planet to the world of immortals. He grew stronger step by step from a weak state, fighting against demonic beasts and competing with cultivators. It was a story of a mortal cultivating to become an immortal. His cheat was the Book of Destiny, which allowed him to glimpse other people's opportunities and take them away in advance.
In that world, because people had strong physical abilities, some people had no hope of becoming immortals. They didn't have the money to buy powerful magical artifacts, nor were they qualified to learn powerful spells. So they honed their physical bodies and skills, and a series of crude martial arts cultivation methods were passed down. However, the upper limit was very low, and only ordinary people could cultivate them.
He initially learned martial arts before cultivating immortality. Due to his past life experiences, he was fond of these mortal martial arts skills. As his strength rapidly increased, he did not forget his original martial arts path. Step by step, he became the most powerful being in a realm, and he had almost perfected the martial arts method.
However, spreading the new cultivation method would inevitably affect the interests of many people, so he did not have the idea of expanding the cultivation method.
At that time, he also received an invitation from a powerful force.
Its name is Anti-Heaven Alliance.
He gained a lot of information from it and made many friends, because he was the master of the Book of Destiny and had the characteristics of a being of the void of destiny. In other words, he possessed infinite possibilities.
He also learned the Heavenly Emperor's secret: the Demon Ancestor was the Heavenly Emperor, and the Heavenly Emperor was also the Demon Ancestor. However, the Demon Ancestor was not the Heavenly Emperor's evil thoughts or anything like that, but rather the Heavenly Emperor's true self, while the Heavenly Emperor was the body that had been severed.
Because the body of the Heavenly Emperor has already merged with the Heavenly Dao, there is no hope of transcending it.
The war between immortals and demons was a chaotic event orchestrated by him, and the deaths of countless immortals, gods, and living beings were all for his own purposes.
The purpose of doing this is to refine all living beings to achieve one's own enlightenment, thereby transcending worldly concerns.
Because he is the Heavenly Emperor, he has seen through and mastered all the Dao that all immortals have comprehended. The Dao that countless immortals, even immortal emperors and heavenly venerables, have comprehended is all his sustenance.
Seeing this, Li Ming understood.
This Heavenly Emperor has laid out a grand scheme, with all living beings as pawns. Even immortal and perfect Heavenly Venerables are merely tools for his transcendence.
In the enemy's plan, after the ninth tribulation, in the final war between immortals and demons, the glorious immortal path will be sacrificed, including the powerful beings of all the heavens and myriad realms, so that all things can be transformed into the purest energy, making him the only one in the world, and then he will undergo a transformation and achieve transcendence.
Finally, like Pangu, he recreated all worlds, becoming the lord of all heavens and the supreme transcendent being.
In his view, this was the only way.
Seeing this, Li Ming understood why he was destined for this calamity, and why martial arts had to replace immortality as the mainstream.
This is the wish of countless immortal and perfect powerhouses.
In order to prevent the Heavenly Emperor from making a premature move, many powerful figures joined forces to block him at the upstream of the River of Time, cutting off his power and preventing him from interfering with future developments.
Among those people were the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, the former incarnation of the Primordial Heavenly King, several Celestial Emperors of the Heavenly Court, and some ancient Celestial Venerables.
Houtu Niangniang (Goddess of the Earth) is in charge of the underworld to prevent accidents.
Li Ming now understood that his system was actually a combination of the Book of Destiny and the power of his previous life, making it even more powerful than his previous cheat system and allowing him to rise to power much faster.
