Chapter 485

"No need for such formalities." Emperor Chi Xing's voice was gentle, and a wisp of golden light lifted Zhao Xing up. "Did you gain anything from the Void Ancestor's Molted Bone?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, yes." Zhao Xing replied: "I believe I imprinted a secret technique from the Void Ancestor's Molted Bone, but as for what specific type of technique it is, I have no way of knowing."

"It's just that it is a bit troublesome to take it out now."

Zhao Xing told him everything about the strange occurrences that happened when he returned.

Although that happened in the Boundary Transmission Tower, and Emperor Chi Xing is not the God of Fate Masters, the Heavenly Master Mansion might not necessarily be unaware of it.

In the War of Causality, the Heavenly Master Mansion saw a great deal of information; concealment is a very foolish choice.

He came to the Empire thanks to the blessing of Qing Qing Yu Zi, which Gu Luohe knew, and Emperor Chi Xing must also know, so there was simply no need to conceal it.

After hearing Zhao Xing finish, Emperor Chi Xing was silent for a while.

Even Gu Luohe was somewhat surprised that Emperor Chi Xing was thinking for so long, as this was very rarely seen.

Finally, Emperor Chi Xing spoke: "It only requires a wisp of divine power to temporarily stabilize your Origin Dantian for you, and the divine statue can then be taken out smoothly."

"In view of your contributions, I will gift you another 'Primordial Dao Tower'."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhao Xing was overjoyed.

A primary-level Boundary Setting Tower is the standard configuration for cultivating a Primordial World.

The Primordial Dao Tower is the top-tier configuration for cultivating the Primordial World technique; it can both

be used to display the four-stage transformation of a world and also serves to maintain the stability of the world.

This object was pioneered by Emperor Chi Xing and solved the problem of slow and unstable world evolution within the bodies of Si Nong in the Primordial World.

It is rumored that the Primordial Dao Tower is one of the products of the Emperor's attainment of divinity, created at the very moment Emperor Chi Xing became a god!

This is a genuine divine object.

"You cannot open your Origin Dantian right now, so I will let Gu Luohe help you; do not resist."

"Yes."

Zhao Xing stood obediently in place.

Gu Luohe flew over, and a wisp of shadow submerged into Zhao Xing's dantian, prying open the previously incomparably heavy Origin Dantian with great ease.

"Gu Luohe is worthy of being the strongest demigod; two great Emperor-level plants and one divine statue carrying divine-realm power—the three maintained a delicate balance in the fragile Origin Dantian, yet he was able to easily help me open it." Zhao Xing was also full of admiration for Gu Luohe.

It is not without reason that Zuo Zuo Qiyu and the Five Poisons Emperor could submit to Gu Luohe.

"Hum~" In the time it took to have just this thought, Zhao Xing felt the shadow pressing on his internal world disappear.

The Qing Qing Yu Zi divine statue turned into a streak of golden light and flew toward Emperor Chi Xing.

In its original position, it was replaced by a nine-story tower flickering with starlight; it had eighty-one windows, permeated with chaotic airflow, stabilizing the Origin Dantian, and also stabilizing the Black Heaven Moon Tree and the Soul-Devouring Grass.

At this moment, Zhao Xing could very clearly feel the difference between Old Qing and Emperor Chi Xing.

The Qing Qing Yu Zi divine statue, while suppressing the two great plant soldier types, also suppressed the Origin Dantian, causing him to lose control over the core of the Benwo Sect Si Nong, able to see it but unable to open it.

But when Emperor Chi Xing's Primordial Dao Tower entered, the two great plant soldier types were no longer tense and began to grow freely; they were wrapped in the chaotic airflow released by the Primordial Dao Tower, forming an independent living space. He could also open his Origin Dantian without being affected.

One was brutal suppression, the other was gentle stabilization. Clearly, the Emperor's methods were more brilliant.

"The secret technique on the Void Ancestor's Molted Bone is called the 'Tribulation-Eating Method'." After obtaining the divine statue, Emperor Chi Xing immediately revealed the origin of this secret technique.

"For a remnant chapter to be released for others to cultivate, it needs to be evaluated and improved first."

"Zhao Xing, you brought this method back; when you reach the Reincarnation Realm, you may also come to cultivate this secret technique." Emperor Chi Xing made a promise.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhao Xing bowed again.

Tribulation-Eating Method? It sounds incredibly powerful just by the name!

It was the correct choice not to choose to cultivate it while in the Boundary Transmission space; even the Emperor said that this remnant method needs to be evaluated and perfected first.

Times are progressing; top-tier secret techniques nowadays mostly have supporting protective measures. Cultivating without protection makes it very easy to suffer qi deviation and explode to death.

The God of Mechanisms, Emperor Chi Xing, is the most proficient in this area; it can be said that before the new generation, the side effects brought by the vast majority of cultivation techniques were eliminated by him. Using the Primordial Dao Tower to perfect the Primordial World is merely one of the Emperor's achievements.

After Emperor Chi Xing obtained the Void Ancestor's cultivation technique and the divine statue, his golden figure dissipated.

What descended was only a divine power dharma body; the one to ensure Zhao Xing's return next would still be Gu Luohe, who was present in his true form.

Gu Luohe took Zhao Xing, along with his boat, into his internal world, and in just over a dozen breaths of time, he had already returned from the center of the Xuanling Star Domain to the Empire's territory in the east.

After another few breaths, he had already returned to the Primordial World.

"Swish~"

Zhao Xing was released; he appeared on the top leaf of the Primordial Divine Tree, in a small city.

"Teacher."

Gu Luohe shook his head: "You don't need to call me teacher anymore; just like the others, you can call me Senior Gu."

Zhao Xing was confused; previously when he called him teacher, Gu Luohe had just let it be, so why did he seem to refuse so seriously this time?

"Old... Senior Gu is about to break through?" Gu Luohe was already a demigod; seeking to break through to the Divine Realm, he certainly would not want to be affected by causality, so as to avoid interference during the breakthrough.

A Divine Realm being like Qing Qing Yu Zi who bore a great causality from Zhao Xing is a negative example.

After becoming a god, one doesn't know how much he worried for Zhao Xing.

Sending Zhao Xing to the Empire, letting Gu Luohe come forward to teach on his behalf, breaking the rules to send the divine palace's Reincarnation secret technique, finding a Boundary-Opening Divine Stone, and helping to fight the War of Causality... In the end, he even destroyed a space-time dharma body.

"It is just pursuing a small breakthrough." Gu Luohe said calmly, "Whether I can succeed or not is still unknown."

Zhao Xing nodded; he did not intend to continue asking. Since Gu Luohe said it wouldn't do, then he would just call him Senior Gu.

But unexpectedly, Gu Luohe changed the subject: "In order to settle the causality with you, I will tell you some things."

"The causality between you and me?" Zhao Xing was puzzled; apart from the teaching on behalf of Old Qing, was there any other connection between him and Gu Luohe?

"You came here after the Yuanhai Dharma Assembly incident, including my coming forward to take you as a disciple, were all arranged by Qing Qing Yu Zi." Gu Luohe said: "He not only arranged for you to be able to enter the Primordial World and be taken as a disciple by me, but he had also long prepared a Boundary-Opening Divine Stone."

"As long as you can break through to the Reincarnation Realm and open up an internal world, the current problem can be easily solved."

As he spoke, Gu Luohe pinched his fingers, and a pale blue dot of light appeared at his fingertips.

It was only the size of a grain of rice, yet it seemed to contain a world; Zhao Xing couldn't help but stare, unable to look away.

Boundary-Opening Divine Stone!

Its amplification effect when opening up an internal world is second only to the legendary Primordial Divine Stone!

Of course, one can forcefully open an internal world without amplification treasures, but the danger is very high. In the ancient era, the Benwo Sect Si Nong were not strong precisely because the probability of exploding to death at this step was as high as ninety percent.

"The Emperor's Primordial Tower only maintains stability; although you can open your Origin Dantian now, you still cannot control the two great Emperor-level plant soldier types."

"In the final analysis, you still need to open up an internal world yourself to thoroughly solve this problem."

Zhao Xing also understood that Emperor Chi Xing's method was only a temporary measure.

The Primordial Dao Tower is, after all, used to strengthen an internal world, but now

Zhao Xing only has an Origin Dantian, so it actually hasn't fully exerted its efficacy.

External objects are all auxiliary; in the final analysis, Zhao Xing's Origin Dantian must transform into an internal world, expanding in capacity and increasing in quality, to accommodate the survival of the plant soldier types, and only then can one talk about control.

"With the assistance of the Emperor's Primordial Dao Tower, you will soon have enough accumulation; when the time comes, you can use it to open up your internal world."

"The Boundary-Opening Divine Stone is yours now; I have also fulfilled Qing Qing Yu Zi's instructions, and the causality is cleared."

Zhao Xing put the Boundary-Opening Divine Stone into his bosom; he did not put it into his Origin Dantian.

Because the Boundary-Opening Divine Stone has a catalytic effect, once it is thrown into the Origin Dantian, the transformation becomes irreversible; it is not yet the time. "Next is about you." Gu Luohe looked at Zhao Xing. "I'm afraid you are also puzzled as to why you and I need to clear causality."

Zhao Xing nodded.

Yes, logically speaking, Gu Luohe only had causality with Qing Qing Yu Zi; the previous teaching, the taking of a disciple, were all established under the transaction between Gu Luohe and Qing Qing Yu Zi.

One matter does not bother two masters; Qing Qing Yu Zi's causality is enough to cover all people and things under the agreement, and it will not produce extra lines of causality. This is also what the Reincarnation Divine Palace is good at; naturally, it would not let Gu Luohe have extra entanglements with Zhao Xing.

"Because you solved the problem of the Stacked Boundary Mountain, accelerated the pace of development of the Siyue Wilderness, and provided information on the Rain Immortal Festival sacrifice in the Spirit Void Origin World, all of this has been completely preserved by the Primordial World."

"This point is very important to me." Gu Luohe said. "And because of this, it has brought help to my cultivation; I am about to complete a"

"small breakthrough."

"Forgive this junior for being dull; I don't understand how this helps you." Zhao Xing still didn't quite understand.

"This is exactly what I am about to say." Gu Luohe waved his hand, and the scenery of the hall suddenly turned into a void: "I will tell you about my path to attaining the Dao, as my feedback to you."

"As everyone knows, in the theory of the Benwo Sect, the world has four major stages."

"Primordial, Origin, Myriad Phenomena, and Extinction."

"When a small world reaches the stage of Extinction, all things head toward destruction, and the universe is the same."

"The birth of the Wilderness means that our universe is heading from the stage of Myriad Phenomena toward the stage of Extinction."

"You should know that the Xuanling Star Domain is a part of the Gu He Boundary Domain."

Zhao Xing nodded, watching Gu Luohe draw a map of the universe.

"The spiritual energy rushed out by the Void River formed a brilliant civilization of practitioners, and one spiritual energy territory after another rose up around this great river."

"In the era of the Five Emperors, the Xuanling Star Domain was far larger than it is now; in fact, when we talk about the Five Emperors unifying the human territory, it includes the entire Gu He Boundary Domain, not just the Xuanling Star Domain."

Zhao Xing's pupils shrank; the map Gu Luohe drew was far larger than the current one by ten thousand times. Could it be that his understanding from his previous life was wrong?

In his understanding, the Xuanling Star Domain was only one of the territories, and the Gu He Boundary Domain should have had many other practitioner civilizations and forces like the Xuanling Star Domain.

"Senior, could it be that the Gu He Boundary Domain..."

"Yes." Gu Luohe's voice showed emotional fluctuation for the first time, somewhat desolate: "The Gu He Boundary Domain has also decayed along with the development of the universe."

"Since the end of the era of the Five Emperors, many Wilderness belts suddenly appeared in the Gu He Boundary Domain, cutting the Gu He Boundary Domain into many territories of various sizes."

"In the propaganda of various countries and super forces, the universe possesses vast territories and abundant spiritual energy."

"Actually, this is simply impossible. Since the universe is about to enter the stage of Extinction, this theory cannot hold water."

"Therefore, the Xuanling Star Domain is already the territory with the largest area, the most spiritual energy, and the most life within the Gu He Boundary Domain."

"Our current development toward the Siyue Wilderness is nothing more than wanting to seize the resources and spiritual energy of other lost territories in the Gu He Boundary Domain, supplementing them to the Xuanling Star Domain to delay death." Zhao Xing's expression was shocked; this was completely different from what he had imagined.

He had always thought the world was big and the universe was big, but what Gu Luohe was saying now was equivalent to a "Doomsday Theory."

And he couldn't refute it.

Yes, since the formation of the Wilderness is a precursor to the Extinction period, then no matter where one goes, Extinction will happen.

Zhao Xing looked at the map drawn by Gu Luohe and couldn't help but feel a bit dazed.

One miniature territory after another, separated by Wilderness belts, looked like "cosmic oceans" exposing stretches of riverbeds, dividing the territory into ponds of various sizes.

The Xuanling Star Domain is the largest spiritual pond; opening up the Siyue Wilderness

is just drawing water from another pond to delay death.

There are too many arguments for this theory, such as why the Great Dao is not manifest in the Wilderness and why spiritual energy is weak.

Such as why the Black Heaven Wilderness doesn't even have a Dao-Manifestation Layer or a Dao-Ancient Layer.

And such as why breaking through to the Reincarnation Realm is becoming increasingly difficult, and the Divine Realm has even disappeared from history.

This pessimistic cosmic doomsday theory would undoubtedly deal a heavy blow to practitioners.

Of course, those in the Dao-Domain Realm and lower with limited lifespans might not feel anything; anyway, they can live for so long, so why worry about the world being destroyed 100 epochs later (maybe longer, maybe shorter)?

Does it affect me mining in the mine?

But for those at high cultivation realms, this might be an imminent matter.

The reason why this theory mentioned by Gu Luohe is not publicly promoted is probably because he doesn't want to cause panic.

Zhao Xing thought carefully; since the 3rd epoch of the Wilderness, the environment has indeed been getting worse, and later versions even saw an Ice Age.

His failure to break through to the Divine Realm might not have been a problem with his cultivation, but rather that the era no longer allowed for new Divine Realm beings to appear. "No, in later versions, Divine Realm beings appeared more and more frequently and became more and more powerful; this contradicts Gu Luohe's theory..." Zhao Xing suddenly frowned. "No, perhaps it's because the passages opened, and the remaining spiritual energy territories still have Divine Realm beings, because of the competition for spiritual energy resources? This doesn't mean Gu Luohe's theory is wrong."

Gu Luohe waited quietly for Zhao Xing to finish digesting, until at a certain moment he felt that Zhao Xing's emotions were no longer fluctuating significantly, and only then did he continue: "Did you just feel that cultivation and effort have no meaning?"

Unexpectedly, Zhao Xing shook his head: "This is too far away from me; perhaps I will never see that day. Even so, I don't feel it has no meaning; pursuing the end of the Great Dao itself is a kind of meaning."

Gu Luohe looked at Zhao Xing with approval: "To have such a heart, sitting and discussing the Dao with you is not an insult to my Dao."

Zhao Xing understood that Gu Luohe was about to formally tell him about his path of cultivation; perhaps he would hear some secrets he had never heard before.

"After the theoretical framework of the Benwo Sect was established, the sages calculated that the world would eventually be destroyed. Some were pessimistic, sat and waited for death, and even changed their temperaments, starting to act recklessly and slaughtering a star domain."

"There were also those who still held onto their beliefs, trying to find a way out for all living beings." Gu Luohe said firmly: "My Gu family has existed since the era of the Five Emperors; from that time on, we have been searching on this path."

"Coming to me, I have finally explored a path that sees the dawn."

"That is, apart from Primordial, Origin, Myriad Phenomena, and Extinction, the world should have a fifth state."

"That is the legendary Eternal World!"

Eternal World? Zhao Xing was shocked; some seals deep in his memory seemed to loosen.

"After the era of the Five Emperors ended, with the help of the Emperor, I embarked on a Benwo path that no one had ever cultivated before, which is the *Eternal World*."

"I cannot control the aging of the universe, but I can control my internal world."

"When the internal world I cultivate accommodates all the embryonic forms of the Great Dao of the cosmic territory, my internal world might be able to become strong enough to exist eternally, completing a second opening!"

At this moment, Gu Luohe looked like he was glowing all over, and Zhao Xing also remembered his experience in Gu Luohe's internal world.

Indeed, every plant life in Gu Luohe's internal world broke common sense.

He carved his name in the partition of the origin of life, he made the ordinary-quality Tough Vine grow to the Emperor level, and his Life Great Dao allowed him to comprehend 【Grass Man Revival】.

Everything proved that Gu Luohe's Dao was very different from others. At this moment, Zhao Xing finally understood

why Gu Luohe was called the strongest demigod.

Because once he becomes a god, theoretically speaking, his internal world can turn into an "Eternal World," opening up an eternally existing world.

There is no aging period, no possibility of extinction, and he can make the world exist at any stage; similarly, Gu Luohe would become an immortal existence!

When the Xuanling Star Domain reaches the 100th epoch of the Wilderness, all life will find it hard to escape death, but if Gu Luohe can possess an Eternal World, he can take all the Xuanling humans into his internal world and avoid the catastrophe of cosmic collapse.

Gu Luohe is equivalent to being a universe unto himself! No, his intention is to create a new universe and become a creator god!

"The Extreme Star theory of the Tian Shi Sect and the Extreme Land theory of the Di Li Sect are not as crazy as the 'Eternal World Theory' of the Benwo Sect." Zhao Xing couldn't help but sigh.

Emperor Chi Xing took Gu Luohe wherever he went, and even treated Gu Luohe as an equal; Gu Luohe could trade with a Divine Realm being like Qing Qing Yu Zi, all of which highlighted Gu Luohe's uniqueness.

He was indeed unique, because Gu Luohe was a potential "savior"! He was walking a path that was unprecedented.

"So, the opening up of the Siyue Wilderness was not just for the development of the Empire, but to provide a reference for Senior Gu." Zhao Xing finally understood why Gu Luohe said there was causality with him.

The appearance of the Stacked Boundary Mountain theory accelerated the development of the Siyue Wilderness, and the discovery of the Spirit Void Origin World provided Gu Luohe with a new model of the Great Dao of the Origin World.

In other words, that dharma discussion of his not only helped the Taigu Zhi Qiu but also indirectly helped Gu Luohe. For a person of Gu Luohe's level, time is very important!

"Gu Luohe was of the same period as the Emperor; the Emperor became a god and was stronger than Old Qing, but Gu Luohe did not. He founded the Primordial World; logically speaking, such a person should have reached the Divine Realm long ago, but he didn't—not because he couldn't, but because his plans were grand."

"However, can he really succeed?" Zhao Xing put a question mark in his heart. If he really followed Gu Luohe's vision, his becoming a god would probably surpass all Divine Realm beings. However, the Benwo Sect has divine-level plants but no Divine Realm Si Nong; this was his understanding from his previous life. In the version of the Time Divine Tree, there were even rumors that Gu Luohe died.

Of course, Zhao Xing didn't necessarily disbelieve it; after all, his highest achievement in his previous life was just on the road to attacking the Divine Realm. Maybe Gu Luohe really was the savior.

After the discussion ended, Gu Luohe returned to his original state, indifferent to everything, his emotions very stable.

Next, he mentioned a problem Zhao Xing was more concerned about: "You have learned the Primordial Clone; you should have seen the existence of Jin Yan."

"Yes." Zhao Xing nodded. "But I cannot sense his specific location." "Of course you cannot sense him." Gu Luohe said: "He is in the Demon territory, relying on the Shadow Divine Palace and the protection of the Demon race to survive. Otherwise, the act of betraying the Empire would be enough for him to die many times over."

"If there is a chance in the future, you can try to kill Jin Yan."

"Zuo Zuo Qiyu and you, it just depends on who lives longer."

Gu Luohe did not allow Zuo Zuo Qiyu and Zhao Xing to kill each other, and gave a solution in one word: endure!

Assuming Zuo Zuo Qiyu or Zhao Xing fails to pass the True Spirit Tribulation and falls, then the other person will naturally receive all the power and dominate the Grass Man Great Dao.

Originally, Jin Yan was younger than Zuo Zuo Qiyu, and he also held the idea of enduring.

Even with soul tearing and substitution for tribulation, the True Spirit Tribulation is getting stronger and stronger; Zuo Zuo Qiyu would definitely die before Jin Yan. Once Zuo Zuo Qiyu died, he would naturally be able to inherit it. Perhaps he could continue to go further; it's not impossible to reach the demigod or even Divine Realm.

But now a younger Zhao Xing has emerged, creating new variables.

The possibility of Zhao Xing inheriting it is actually greater.

"Senior Gu, is it possible for Jin Yan to create another person who can use the Primordial Clone?" Zhao Xing asked this question.

Assuming Jin Yan gives up and makes this Great Dao overcrowded, sharing the power, then the Grass Man Method would have been cultivated in vain.

Gu Fu Tianyang was Gu Luohe's brother; he shouldn't be unfamiliar with this method.

"Impossible." Gu Luohe gave a negative answer: "Three people walking together on one Great Dao is the limit."

"Senior Gu, what is the ultimate purpose of the Primordial Clone?" Zhao Xing asked the last question.

"Primordial universe, True God without tribulation." Gu Luohe said, "He should have wanted to use the Grass Man Method to survive the cosmic collapse; my brother created this method and I"

"arrived at the same destination by different routes, it's just a pity that he died too early."

"Primordial universe, True God without tribulation." Until he left Gu Luohe's palace, Zhao Xing was still muttering this sentence. He remembered the notes he saw in Wei Ling Tianchen's library. "Gu Fu Tianyang, such a monstrous genius, did he really die?"

"The Eternal World mentioned by Gu Luohe... why does it feel like I've heard of it somewhere?"

Zhao Xing's memory palace was in a trance; he involuntarily came to the depths of his memory, where there was a gate, with a dog licking the surface, a chicken pecking at rice, and a lamp burning the lock.

"Still can't push it..." Zhao Xing stood in front of the palace gate and muttered to himself: "The memory seal set when I left the Xuanhuang World... is this still the Yuan Feng Method I set?"
