Chapter 252: He, from the Immortal Domain!

"Are you finally awake?"

Having just regained his senses from the Chat Group, Zhang Xuan had not yet had time to summarize and organize his overall gains when Gai Jiuyou's face appeared directly before him.

"Hm? What do you mean by 'finally awake'? I have been clear-headed the entire time."

Zhang Xuan felt it was strange, even a bit inexplicable.

Gai Jiuyou, however, let out a sigh of relief and then smiled: "You have been immersed in a state of enlightenment for more than six months."

Zhang Xuan was stunned.

In his own perception, only a very short time had passed; he had been sitting and discussing the Dao with Fengyun Wuji, and he never expected that upon waking, more than six months had already gone by.

He sensed the situation of the entire world slightly, then looked at Gai Jiuyou's serious expression.

Zhang Xuan immediately sensed from the entire world that he had indeed been in secluded cultivation for over six months.

"So much time has actually passed. No wonder that later on, I was able to completely keep up with Fengyun Wuji's rhythm, and was even able to draw inferences about other cases, solving most of the subsequent difficult problems in a very short time.

"So it turns out that at that time, my other 'He-Self' had also been enlightened."

Zhang Xuan's heart stirred, and a wisp of Divine Sense immediately arrived above the God Demon Mausoleum.

In his farm, or rather, his plantation, he saw that Dao Tribulation Gold Spirit, which had grown to look exactly like him, gestating in an embryo like a fetus.

That Dao Tribulation Gold Spirit was currently lying quietly deep underground, breathing in and out the Heaven and Earth Essence; all Seven Apertures were capable of breathing.

Moreover, the Five Great Secret Realms within its body were reviving bit by bit.

Back then, this Dao Tribulation Gold Spirit had been near completion and about to be born, only for the Void Great Emperor to shatter everything with a single slap.

It had almost completely died back then, leaving behind only the divine material.

Originally, after long ages and time had passed, once all its spirituality had drained away, it would have returned to being a mere piece of divine metal, eventually becoming forging material for Jizi.

Now, however, by a stroke of luck, it had fallen into Zhang Xuan's hands, and through the incredible plantation of the Chat Group, it had revived under the most terrifying and difficult circumstances, becoming Zhang Xuan's 'He-Self'.

In Zhang Xuan's gaze, the palm print on the location of that Dao Tribulation Gold Spirit's buttocks had completely vanished; not a single trace could be seen.

Even the Five Great Secret Realms within its body were flowing with five-colored radiance; that was Zhang Xuan's Origin.

And the moment his thought fell, Zhang Xuan simultaneously sensed the time required for this Dao Tribulation Gold Spirit to mature: another twenty years.

"No wonder I was able to keep up with Fengyun Wuji's rhythm earlier, and even be a bit faster. When it comes to 'magic-modifying' the Summoning Magic Scripture, especially making it suitable for the Zhetian World, I am indeed better than him. After all, I have two cheats."

Zhang Xuan suddenly understood. Looking again at Gai Jiuyou's slightly worried expression, and the Great Saint Body standing on the other side, he couldn't help but reveal a smile.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable."

Just as he was about to speak, a round-faced fat man in loose Daoist robes stepped out from behind the Great Saint Body, his face carrying a hint of peculiar excitement.

In his hands were two greenish Bronze Ancient Lamps. Above each Bronze Ancient Lamp was a mass of constantly changing Divine Sense, sealed by a huge piece of Divine Source, standing right before him.

As this fat man looked at the Divine Source, his face revealed an expectant expression, followed by one of unease and panic.

On the two Bronze Ancient Lamps in his hands, dense, ancient characters were carved; they seemed to be a peculiar scripture originating from one of the Nine Great Heavenly Venerables of the Mythological Era.

Zhang Xuan recognized a portion of the scripture; it was the Du Ren Scripture originating from the Lingbao Heavenly Venerable, which had a very powerful effect in suppressing Godly Thoughts. The other portion, Zhang Xuan did not recognize.

However, that Bronze Ancient Lamp seemed to have a peculiar resonance with Duan De; the light flickering beside Duan De was even brighter.

Zhang Xuan thought for a moment and guessed that it should be a scripture originating from the Underworld Venerable. As the founding ancestor of grave robbing, the things left behind by the Underworld Venerable had an extremely strong suppression effect on Godly Thoughts.

After all, the Underworld Venerable was the first existence to die and revive, giving birth to intelligence, and he had even attained the Dao and been crowned Emperor; he had walked the furthest on this path.

And later, he also kept robbing graves, both to find out his own origins and also stemming from the obsession in the heart of his original body, wanting to find more clues about Huang Tiandi.

The moment Zhang Xuan saw those two pieces of Divine Source, his heart gave a jolt.

A feeling of unease arose in his heart, and at the same time, a peculiar sense of familiarity.

Duan De took the initiative to step forward and introduced to Zhang Xuan: "These are two Godly Thoughts. One was left behind by the Great Saint Body, and the other originates from the Undying Emperor. You really have the guts of an Immortal to dare to set your sights on them..."

He wanted to give more of an introduction, but Zhang Xuan already waved his hand and looked toward Gai Jiuyou: "How long have you been capturing these two Godly Thoughts?"

"That wisp of Godly Thought originating from the Saint Body on Mars was captured not long after you finished speaking. As for the other Godly Thought of the Undying Emperor, we searched for more than five months, and it was only under Duan De's guidance that we found its traces.

"It was shortly after we arrived here that we discovered you were in a state of enlightenment, with peculiar Heaven and Earth fluctuations all around, and even Heavenly Tribulation descending from the firmament."

Hearing this, the Great Saint Body felt a tremor in his heart.

From ancient times to the present, every Ancient Emperor and Great Emperor had walked through this stage.

After stepping into the Saint Realm or higher levels, they began to ponder their own path, walking a unique road.

At the same time, they created unprecedented scriptures. During this stage, they would often encounter terrifying calamities.

But those calamities were still understandable; yet the calamity that appeared here for Zhang Xuan was terrifying beyond compare, continuous and unending. It was a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation that his current realm could not possibly withstand.

When Dongfang Taiyi was returning, he discovered the situation here and used an Extreme Dao Imperial Weapon to help resist it for a long time. Later, the Cai Family Great Saint who had successfully passed the tribulation returned.

He had successfully stepped into the Quasi-Emperor Realm in the starry sky beyond the domain, passed the most terrifying threshold, and stood guard here for Zhang Xuan, using an Extreme Dao Imperial Weapon to help protect him, but later even he felt it was becoming strenuous.

In the end, it was the Great Saint Body who felt that something was wrong here and rushed over in advance.

He pierced through that terrifying Heavenly Tribulation, and only then did he pass this terrible ordeal, allowing Zhang Xuan to fall into a true, deepest level of enlightenment without knowing or feeling anything.

"So there were so many twists and turns?"

Zhang Xuan's heart stirred, and at the same time, it skipped a beat.

He had not expected such a complex development.

However, he also felt the uniqueness and power of the Summoning Magic Scripture. This was indeed another path, and now, through Zhang Xuan's hands, it had appeared in this world—something unprecedented.

This could be considered opening up an unprecedented path, not quite as good as the path Huang Tiandi opened up that could lead to becoming a Quasi-Immortal Emperor or even an Immortal Emperor.

But within this Zhetian Universe, searching through the entire ancient history, it could be considered top-tier.

After all, this was a method completely different from the one passed down by Huang Tiandi; it was an entirely new path.

And the profound realms of this path were equally powerful and terrifying.

"Did you fall into some other state of enlightenment and walk the wrong path? Why not discuss it with us?

"I have never seen the world react so intensely; even when Ancient Great Emperors created unprecedented scriptures, it was nothing more than this."

The Great Saint Body was somewhat worried, but Zhang Xuan was very calm.

After being empowered by two sentient Holy Spirits, his comprehension was not simply one plus one equals two.

In reality, the efficiency after the two superimposed would not be too high; it might reach a level of 110, 120, or 150.

But at such a peak level, even the slightest increase was extremely special and incredibly formidable.

All the problems in his past cultivation path that he could not figure out or understand thoroughly were solved easily at this moment, without any issues.

What was even more special was that the Heaven and Earth Essence seemed to naturally converge, constantly strengthening Zhang Xuan's body from within, allowing him to form a constitution similar to a Holy Spirit.

Then, in this process, Zhang Xuan calmly adjusted the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art, making himself seem like a true black hole in the Universe; boundless Heaven and Earth Essence was swallowed into his body, then bit by bit, it strengthened his own being, pushing himself upward bit by bit.

At this moment, Zhang Xuan seemed to be able to understand the Ruthless Great Emperor within the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land a little bit.

His wisdom was raised infinitely, and the many top-tier scriptures and profound meanings recorded in the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art and the Indestructible Heavenly Art naturally revealed their true mysteries before him.

He truly and genuinely seemed to have approached the Ruthless Great Emperor at a certain moment, able to fully understand the Ruthless Great Emperor's cultivation path.

And in this process, Zhang Xuan still had the leisure to chat with Gai Jiuyou and the Great Accomplishment Saint Body.

"Having figured out a problem and perfected the scriptures that were previously incomplete, I think it is probably truly possible to let these two revive from the Time River."

Zhang Xuan's words were light, not spoken with much volume, yet they possessed the power to shake the heavens and the earth.

The Great Accomplishment Saint Body could not help but clench his fists, emitting the sound of metal clashing; his blood energy fluctuated for an instant, then was suppressed by the Void Mirror he was carrying.

And just this momentary leakage of aura made Duan De break out in a cold sweat, with the lid of a Heaven Swallowing Jar appearing above his head.

If not for this, he would have fallen to his knees directly just now, unable to even breathe.

Even so, he was incomparably shocked.

Gai Jiuyou did not show too much that was special, but the Hengyu Furnace naturally spewed flames above his head, and the phoenix above it seemed as if it were about to jump out.

This indicated the huge waves in Gai Jiuyou's heart.

"In my deep contemplation, I recalled a close friend from the past, and in this state of Dao enlightenment, I engaged in a discussion of the Dao with him; the two of us communicated with Divine Sense, which can be considered as perfecting this technique."

"But now it is not yet fully confirmed; why don't we sit down together and discuss it to see if it is indeed feasible."

Zhang Xuan was very composed; this composure did not come from his previous foresight, but from the unprecedented wisdom under the empowerment of the two Holy Spirits.

At this moment, standing before Gai Jiuyou and the Great Accomplishment Saint Body, he had an unprecedented confidence in his heart, something he had never had before.

His comprehension seemed to be looking down on everyone, and a sense of invincible confidence naturally arose in his heart.

Gai Jiuyou sensed something, but did not feel that this posture was wrong.

He only felt that Zhang Xuan had further regained the memories he had once lost.

Throughout history, every heaven-gifted talent who stepped onto the path of the Great Emperor held an invincible belief in their heart, looking down upon the world.

Without this kind of confidence, it would instead make people feel strange.

Previously, Zhang Xuan had everything under control, with a feeling that the heavens and earth were all within his grasp.

But he still lacked this unique confidence and dominance; now that it had returned, he felt even more comfortable and natural.

"This scripture does not originate from this heaven and earth, but was passed down to me by a person I met outside the domain when I once traveled through the Great Void..."

Zhang Xuan explained the origin of the Demon Summoning Scripture bit by bit, without hiding too much.

Hearing this, the expressions of the Great Accomplishment Saint Body and Gai Jiuyou changed repeatedly, and Duan De's expression was incomparably excited.

And endless waves also arose in the hearts of the three.

The profound meaning and opening chapter of the Demon Summoning Scripture were enough to shock people; although it originated from the top-tier unique arts of another heaven and earth and world, with someone explaining it in this heaven and earth, they could also understand it.

At the same time, they could even more feel the mystery and specialty within it; this distinct style from outside the domain gave them more insights.

"A top-tier figure created this technique just to let their ancestor, the most powerful one, return from the long river of history, constantly condensing their never-extinguishing Divine Soul?"

The Great Accomplishment Saint Body and Gai Jiuyou looked at each other.

They originally had certain guesses about Zhang Xuan's identity and origin, and now they were even more certain.

Between heaven and earth, it is now generally accepted that the physical body of a Great Emperor can exist with the world; as long as they do not actively choose to undergo Transforming into the Dao, they can basically remain between heaven and earth forever.

But the primordial spirit of a Great Emperor will age, will wither, and finally meet death.

The strongest individuals throughout the ages have all wanted their own primordial spirits to be able to exist with the world, and for this, they have constantly created various kinds of techniques.

Some have even had fantasies and guesses about the existence of things like Immortal Gods.

And now, hearing what Zhang Xuan said, there is someone whose physical body collapsed countless years ago, and whose primordial spirit was shattered into countless fragments, yet it has been able to remain between heaven and earth, existing with the world, and no one can extinguish it.

There is no Great Emperor or Ancient Emperor between heaven and earth who meets such conditions and meets such requirements.

The only one who could meet their requirements and guesses is perhaps the Immortal that seems to have never existed.

And the Great Void outside the Zhetian Universe is recognized by everyone in the entire heaven and earth.

That area is called the Immortal Domain.

Combined with Zhang Xuan's incomparably mysterious origin, as well as his knowledge of the entire heaven and earth, and that special Nine-Turn Immortal Pill that does not stick to normal materials.

Gai Jiuyou and the Great Accomplishment Saint Body could be considered to have truly confirmed Zhang Xuan's origin.

"He comes from the Immortal Domain!"
