340. Chapter 330: Meng Tianzheng Becomes an Immortal, The Ten Fiends Return!
"Has the Chaotic Ancient been destroyed?"
Meng Tianzheng did not care about his own state, though he was more complete and his body more powerful; instead, he stood there whispering in a daze.
Zhang Xuan only said indifferently: "I have said it before, after I arrived, that possibility had already vanished."
Meng Tianzheng was bewildered.
Then he heard Zhang Xuan speak words that shocked him even more.
"Since you have already stood upon this threshold at the very peak of the Human Dao Realm, the next step should be to become an Immortal."
After hearing this, Meng Tianzheng nodded silently, but then said with some hesitation: "But I have not yet truly finished tempering myself; resisting the erosion of the Darkness and Bushixiang requires immense effort."
"At the same time, the Foreign Realm has also been monitoring this world; if I were to become an Immortal at this very moment, I fear..."
Zhang Xuan waved his hand indifferently: "Since I have requested you to become an Immortal, I will naturally have considered all aspects of the problem for you. I will send you to another region without the erosion of the eerie and Bushixiang to let you become an Immortal."
"As for after you become an Immortal, keep this posture for now; there is no need for further changes. Just act as if you haven't become an Immortal; after all, one True Immortal cannot change the large-scale situation."
"Leave it for later; when I feel the accumulation is sufficient, I will come to find you again."
Meng Tianzheng was stunned. Before he could react, he felt his body jolt, and his entire person was tossed away, entering a bizarre passage.
When he opened his eyes again, it was already a vast and boundless land.
A figure over a zhang tall, whose entire body seemed to be cast from copper and iron, stood before him.
The entire world seemed out of place with that figure.
But that figure was supreme over heaven and earth; after staring at him with a peculiar gaze for a long time, he nodded.
"Acceptable, already in the sublimation stage. Having reached the Heavenly Tier, and in the future even capable of reaching the Nirvana-level, you can participate in the final battle."
Meng Tianzheng was puzzled, and beside him, a man who felt very weak in his perception revealed a smile at this moment.
"I told you my friend is very reliable; he will definitely be able to help in the final battle."
Meng Tianzheng was bewildered. Before he could say anything, that figure who looked like he was cast from copper and iron had already dissipated like smoke and clouds.
Only a strange man remained, who in his perception was weak to the point of absurdity, yet hid power comparable to a contender for Immortality within his body.
That man waved at him, revealing a face full of smiles: "My name is Chen Nan; I expect we will fight side by side in the future."
Meng Tianzheng was bewildered. He carefully sensed the world and discovered that the laws of this world were indeed very perfect.
Although the laws of the Chaotic Ancient world appeared extremely perfect, there were omissions in some places; the more powerful a person was, the more they could feel this.
What was even more peculiar was that in this world, he truly did not sense that kind of Dark Matter that eroded all living beings of heaven and earth.
"Senior..."
Meng Tianzheng could not help but whisper, feeling the uniqueness of that mysterious and powerful figure. Although that figure did not teach him cultivation, he had provided him with help at the two critical nodes of his life.
It felt vaguely like his master.
That person just now was definitely a True Immortal-level, or even a more powerful figure who had already vanished.
Meng Tianzheng exhaled softly and stopped thinking about it further.
In an instant, the great bow in his hand shattered, revealing a youth in his golden years with a heroic appearance.
And that youth's appearance was exactly the same as Meng Tianzheng's, just one was a youth and one was an old man.
At this moment, Meng Tianzheng looked up to the sky and let out a long roar.
Endless Life Essence and Heaven and Earth Essence poured into his body, merging into his limbs and bones, causing his whole person to continuously sublimate in this process.
At this moment, he could vaguely sense a shimmering Time River and could hear people talking within that Time River.
"Another unique cultivation method; it is very special and different from the path we walked before."
"Indeed very powerful, and the potential is also very high. Even this technique, it shouldn't just lead to the Against Heaven King Tier; there should be higher levels."
"Before, we were like frogs at the bottom of a well; only now have we truly broadened our horizons."
"Should we pay attention to concealing the world to prevent the Heavenly Dao from watching him?"
"This cannot be concealed at all. Reaching such a stage, the entire world will have a response. Such a powerhouse, as long as they exist between heaven and earth, can naturally be sensed by countless people."
Meng Tianzheng did not pay attention to the whispers of those figures, but he could also feel that the cultivation methods of the people in this world were different from the methods in the world where he resided.
And that mysterious figure he saw at the very beginning, in terms of power, was even above him; he was also an extremely powerful and terrifying existence.
And the figures now hiding in the Time River commenting on him, any one of them had strength and a realm not inferior to his, or rather, were more formidable than him.
Even if he truly achieved True Immortal, there would still be a certain gap if he wanted to stand shoulder to shoulder with those figures.
Boundless lightning poured down from between heaven and earth; any single bolt could make one feel incomparable fear and could destroy a figure at the peak of the Human Dao Realm.
But Meng Tianzheng felt delighted in this lightning, even unable to help but cheer.
He had waited for such a time for too long, so long it was unimaginable.
He had always wanted to complete this step before, but had never reached it. Now that he had truly completed it, his heart was incomparably comfortable, and he felt a sense of relief and triumph.
"Immortal!"
"True Immortal!"
"Master, I have succeeded; I have not failed your entrustment."
Boundless lightning fell, but it could not harm his body; more importantly, there was not a trace of Dark Matter.
His primordial spirit did not need to engage in excessive resistance at this moment and could calmly sense everything between heaven and earth.
He felt his physical body and primordial spirit changing and sublimating every moment; that was incomparable power, that was a unique ability in the world.
As for the difference between this world and his original world, he did not care at all.
The Universe is vast and boundless; there are truly too, too many universes.
Although he had not seen or experienced it, he had still read the various records from the Immortal Ancient Era.
During the peak of the Immortal Ancient, even Immortal Kings from the Immortal Domain would take the initiative to descend to the Lower Realm to converse and drink together.
Powerful Immortal Kings and True Immortals would take many disciples to travel between the stars and rivers of the Universe and explore the Multiverse.
There were too many glorious past events from the Immortal Ancient Era; he had once read about them, been curious about them, and yearned for them.
Now, he had only completed this step with the help of another peerlessly powerful figure.
And once he truly crossed the supreme True Immortal tribulation, he would continuously mend his own flaws in this world where the perfect heaven and earth rules were complete.
Once he finished mending them, before he could even savor it, space flashed, and he returned to the Chaotic Ancient Era once more; feeling that kind of broken heaven and earth rules, he could not help but show a sense of discomfort on his face.
Before him, that figure who was in their golden years still stood in front of him, merely nodding slightly at his achievement of becoming a True Immortal.
And at this moment, Meng Tianzheng could vaguely feel the extraordinary and special nature of this group of figures before him.
He seemed to have touched upon a bit of understanding of this powerful figure, reaching the tip of the iceberg.
"Above the True Immortal Realm, but not yet having achieved a true Immortal King; the key is that the rules are complete and flawless, forming a system of their own, and it seems the goal I wanted most has been achieved: Body as a Seed..."
His heart was shocked, and he could not help but carefully sense it, then felt even more.
That figure, who was unimaginably strong, seemed to have no intention of blocking him; he could easily understand a great deal.
Standing there, they were clearly standing within this heaven and earth, yet it was as if they had transcended out of it.
Unlike the entire Universe, they formed a small Universe of their own.
More importantly, in Meng Tianzheng's careful sensing, he discovered that the aura of this mysterious figure before him was constantly increasing, constantly moving forward.
At first, he thought it was an illusion, a misunderstanding.
After all, even for a supreme True Immortal who is complete and flawless, their state would still have fluctuations and would not remain strong forever.
Unless in intense battle, otherwise most of the time it would be peaceful and not intensely sublimating, but the aura of this mysterious, peerless powerhouse before him was constantly sublimating upwards.
That speed was not fast, yet it was stable and solid.
It was very special, and also very strange, leaving an extremely deep impression.
"How could it be like this?"
Meng Tianzheng was puzzled.
And Zhang Xuan, standing before him, smiled slightly at this moment.
Meng Tianzheng did not know what this peerless figure was going to do, and could only watch as this peerless figure took a step out and disappeared, just as he had come.
Leaving behind only a very ethereal remark.
"Continue your cultivation, and wait for the day I return."
"When you see me again, that will be when the situation begins to change."
Meng Tianzheng could not understand.
And Zhang Xuan left easily at this moment.
Changing a segment of Meng Tianzheng's future was a very easy matter.
Zhang Xuan even chose the timing perfectly; Meng Tianzheng had been a Supreme for hundreds of thousands of years, and his accumulation at this stage was deep enough.
Therefore, after he mended Meng Tianzheng's own flaws, he could allow Meng Tianzheng to directly cross that threshold and become a True Immortal.
But a True Immortal could not play a decisive role in the great war against the Foreign Realm.
To change all of this, one had to come from other directions.
One had to seek the truly top-tier combat power within this heaven and earth.
And now, Zhang Xuan had already found the direction and the determined location, as light flowed.
He influenced a more distant era, though he did not influence much; he only influenced the True Immortal who came down from the Immortal Domain in their attempt to ambush Kunpeng when Kunpeng returned heavily wounded.
At the same time, he partially influenced the True Dragon, the leader of the Ten Fiends.
As well as the creator of the Grass Sword Art, that blade of grass which was one of the Ten Fiends.
Part of the Divine Sense of the Heaven-Horned Ant's father was also left behind by Zhang Xuan.
It still continued the style of the Demon-Calling Scripture, imprinting a wisp of their main Divine Sense into the shells of their descendants.
As their descendants continuously grew stronger, they would bit by bit summon their parents back again.
To achieve the effect of resurrecting the Ten Fiends.
As for the higher-level Immortal King-level changes and resurrections, Zhang Xuan's current abilities could not yet achieve them, so he actively avoided these critical time nodes.
"I can only say that my Other Shore at the current stage is very cowardly; it is too difficult."
Zhang Xuan sighed.
The Other Shore in the Yishi Zhi Zun World were all free to do as they pleased, doing whatever they wanted; Zhang Xuan, having achieved the Other Shore, had to act sneakily to do anything, not grand enough at all.
In the Luan Gu Era, he acted in a low-key and cautious manner.
But there was no help for it; the heaven and earth of the Luan Gu Era itself was very formidable.
That Zhang Xuan could suddenly emerge to become an Other Shore between heaven and earth when the Luan Gu Era was at its weakest was already taking a shortcut.
Many times, it was unavoidable to give up a portion of his authority.
Of course, in reality, if Zhang Xuan really wanted to confront them head-on, it was not impossible.
After all, the Other Shore in the Yishi Zhi Zun World had much smoother and more successful control over time than the supreme experts of this world.
At the very least, it was much smoother than the many figures in the Immortal King Realm.
Among the Immortal Kings of the Foreign Realm, the top-tier existence Chi Wang almost died just from changing a small future.
Yet Zhang Xuan could easily change many futures in a subtle and silent way.
Standing within time, Zhang Xuan could originally have made drastic changes, for instance, letting the True Dragon among the Ten Fiends, as well as Kunpeng and the Heaven-Horned Ant's father all survive, or at least have a large portion of them survive.
But after thinking it over, Zhang Xuan did not do these things.
Instead, he only preserved a wisp of Divine Sense of these supreme experts; Zhang Xuan did not make too many changes to the most ancient period and years of the Luan Gu Era.
Especially after experiencing the most tragic battle of the Immortal Ancient, Zhang Xuan's changes to the endings of many figures were very clever, without interfering too much.
He only protected Kunpeng, the True Dragon, the Heaven-Horned Ant, and the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass at the most critical nodes.
As for the true Immortal Kings, they had already died out during the Chaotic Ancient Era; there were none left, and even if he wanted to protect them, he could not.
Compared to the sweeping reforms within the Covering the Sky Great Universe, Zhang Xuan appeared more cautious in the Luan Gu Era.
This was mainly because there was an unavoidable figure in the Luan Gu Era: Huang Tiandi.
As for the imprints of other Immortal King level figures, Zhang Xuan could forcibly overwrite them if he wanted to.
After all, they were all very fragile and weak, and their true resurrection and rise to power did not happen in the Luan Gu Era.
The one who truly had the greatest influence was, instead, Huang Tiandi.
Zhang Xuan did not want to interfere too much with Huang Tiandi's growth trajectory; at the very least, Zhang Xuan felt that he did not have much qualification to do so right now, and could only embellish it sporadically.
When covering the Time River, he did not encounter too many obstacles at Huang Tiandi's location, but he did not think this was because he himself was strong; rather, he felt that all of this might have been tacitly permitted by Huang Tiandi.
After all, in terms of strength, Huang Tiandi at this stage in time had very likely reached a level not inferior to the Dao Fruit level in the Yishi Zhi Zun World.
That was already strong to an inconceivable degree, making it very difficult for others to interfere or do more in this regard.
Zhang Xuan could not distinguish it clearly, nor did he intend to distinguish it specifically.
He was only prepared to proceed according to his own rhythm.
