366. Chapter 356: The End of the Boundary Sea Dam

The reason she did not directly step into the Immortal King Realm was not that Liu Shen was not strong enough, but that she had actively discarded a portion of her past techniques and essence.

She had undergone Nirvana and rebirth, and she did not wish to continue inheriting too much that would influence her present self upon her old body.

After her rebirth, she wanted to go further; thus, she only selectively accepted a portion, while a part of her past essence was forever severed by her.

Zhang Xuan watched this in his eyes but did not interfere too much. He was merely helping these people return to compose a perfection shared by many figures.

The true path still needed to be walked by these figures themselves; they felt that what they deemed perfect was the true perfection, rather than walking entirely according to Zhang Xuan's will and path.

Now, having covered the entire Immortal Ancient period, Zhang Xuan did not consider other areas that were too vast, too far, or too broad, but instead lowered his head to look at a piece of white bone in his hand.

The markings on it were very simple, merely carving the most primitive and ancient techniques, without involving any truly powerful scriptures.

But it was a type of exposition on the most primordial, most unique Origin between heaven and earth.

Original True Explanation, the original version.

Or perhaps the upper, middle, and lower parts gathered together.

The scripture left behind by that Quasi-Immortal Emperor who fell during the Emperor Fall Era.

In truth, it was not a real inheritance, but a path, a way of thinking; by following this direction to contemplate and explore, one could become a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

This was a different kind of inheritance for a Quasi-Immortal Emperor; back then, one did not know how many people contended because of such an inheritance.

And within this long timeline, the full text of the Original True Explanation had once appeared; Zhang Xuan found it from the Time River and fished it into his hand.

It was still that saying: stones from other hills may serve to polish the jade of this one.

Zhang Xuan did not intend to walk the path of such a figure in the original way.

He would simply stand on the shoulders of more giants to walk out a path different from all others, surpassing everyone.

"It is indeed the most primordial and profound analysis of this heaven and earth, and it is similar to the Heavenly Venerable's understanding of the root of his own world, or perhaps even more transcendent..."

It was not to say that this Quasi-Immortal Emperor's comprehension was higher than the Heavenly Venerable's, but because this Quasi-Immortal Emperor stood at a higher level, standing in a higher world.

He could overlook the heavens and the earth, and thus could understand more and touch more.

The entire direction was not too difficult for him; it could even be considered a simple matter.

The most primordial secrets of the heavens and the earth were all expounded within this technique.

This was the most basic rule between heaven and earth; it was not a complex point, and it did not look as colorful and varied as the Kunpeng Precious Technique or the Ten Fiends Precious Technique.

But it was an analysis of the mysteries of the rules of the Origin of heaven and earth; everyone who understood this part could strengthen their own cognition of heaven and earth.

It could make oneself become more powerful from the root.

Everyone who understood this part could become stronger; this was the foundation between heaven and earth, the cornerstone.

Zhang Xuan watched very seriously and intently; for him, this part had significance for reference and for pioneering.

An Existence of the Other Shore is the most fundamental and primordial analysis and understanding of the rules between heaven and earth.

Zhang Xuan had a very profound understanding and cognition of the Nine Heavens and Shi Di, the chaotic bones, and the Immortal Valley, but his cognition of the vast heavens and worlds outside the Nine Heavens and Shi Di was not too high.

After all, between this heaven and earth, there was not only the Nine Heavens and Shi Di, but also the Foreign Realm, other top-tier worlds, the Immortal Domain, and the Boundary Sea.

A single spray in the Boundary Sea was a world; even figures at the Immortal King level needed long periods of time and years to cross the Boundary Sea.

Ordinary True Immortals walking within it could be slapped to death by a spray at any time; that was the most vast and profound world between heaven and earth.

Regarding such a grand world, Zhang Xuan's cognition was insufficient.

And the Original True Explanation could allow Zhang Xuan to have a deeper understanding of such a world, allowing his realm and strength at the level of the Other Shore to expand outward, not just covering the Nine Heavens and Shi Di.

But to be able to cover the Immortal Domain, cover the Foreign Realm, and even cover the Boundary Sea.

At such a moment, Zhang Xuan was in deep thought, with boundless power walking along the space between heaven and earth.

The concept and power of the original Other Shore level began to walk out of the Nine Heavens and Shi Di, beginning to cover the many heavens outside the Nine Heavens and Shi Di.

As his thoughts stirred, Zhang Xuan's figure appeared within the Immortal Domain, which had originally closed its gates and was isolated from all the heavens and worlds.

That was Zhang Xuan's rule, which had reached the level of Legend in the outside world, that is, being omnipresent and everywhere.

As his thoughts stirred, he could reach any area of the entire Universe, the entire Multiverse, and the entire heaven and earth.

Originally, Zhang Xuan could only walk at will within the Nine Heavens and Shi Di, and in the time stages of the Immortal Ancient and the Chaotic Ancient.

And with the help of the level of the Original True Explanation, his rules expanded outward, and he could even touch the Immortal Domain and the Foreign Realm.

Even though the gates of the Immortal Domain had been closed for countless years and no one could enter the Immortal Domain, for Zhang Xuan, it was merely a matter of a thought.

Even in this time stage, Zhang Xuan could directly attempt to use the omnipresent traces of the concept of the Legend level to directly cross the Boundary Sea to go to the Other Shore.

But Zhang Xuan did not perform this kind of top-tier suicidal behavior.

He was not yet a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, and as for the Other Shore, there were four Quasi-Immortal Emperors, and those four Quasi-Immortal Emperors were usually in deep sleep.

If he went over, he would directly stimulate those figures; resurrecting a figure who had not yet reached the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level to go over would simply be sending them to their death.

Rather than carrying out such meaningless and indifferent reckless sending, it was better to carry out attempts in other aspects.

Standing within the Immortal Domain, watching the endless brilliance of the Immortal Domain shining.

The Immortal Domain was not simply a single Multiverse, but was pieced together from countless powerful Multiverses, broad to an unimaginable degree.

Every figure at the Immortal King level was basically the strongest in the Multiverse where they were located.

After their birth, they would naturally bring the entire Multiverse along toward the Immortal Domain, piecing the Immortal Domain together into the most special and powerful Pure Land between heaven and earth.

For so many years, the Immortal Domain had always been in such a posture; it was indeed the most powerful Pure Land between heaven and earth, a place that all cultivators yearned for, until the Foreign Realm appeared.

Until, following the breathing of that Dark Immortal Emperor at the end of the Boundary Sea, the massive amount of Essence exchanged with every breath would blow toward the heavens and myriad worlds along with the storm of that breathing.

All figures in this process had to be baptized by that dark substance, and all had to undergo a dual test of will and flesh; once they failed, their flesh would directly undergo strange and incredible changes, and their primordial spirits would be imprisoned in the Reception Immortal Hall.

That was the most strange and peculiar change between heaven and earth; no one could resist it, and even giants at the Immortal King level would undergo strange changes in this process.

Zhang Xuan walked wantonly between heaven and earth; after walking through the Immortal Domain once, he shook his head and sighed, then fell into a place in the Foreign Realm where no one noticed.

He looked at the World Tree in the Foreign Realm, with its lush branches and leaves, covering the sky and the sun.

This was what only a truly prosperous Universe would have.

That World Tree covers the sky and sun; countless stars appear so minuscule before it.

Upon leaf after leaf are palace after palace.

Only those at the True Immortal level—oh, in the Foreign Realm, True Immortals are called Immortals—can reside upon it.

They dwell within, shining with light like stars that never fall.

Everyone in the Foreign Realm can see it when they look up.

And in that most special place at the very peak, exist those where the Immortal Kings reside.

It is unimaginably powerful, unimaginably prosperous, and unimaginably terrifying.

Many of the most powerful forces are contained within it.

Zhang Xuan just watched quietly without excessive interference, and other figures had no way to perceive such a supreme figure as Zhang Xuan walking between heaven and earth.

And the reason Zhang Xuan walked this way was merely to practice the recognition of the most basic rules of this world as contained within the Original True Explanation.

To read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles, to achieve the unity of knowledge and action, is the only way to truly understand the special nature within this.

That Quasi-Immortal Emperor's understanding of this piece of heaven and earth is truly thorough.

For others, such a method is very useful for breaking through to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm, but for Zhang Xuan, the most important part of such a method is the understanding of the operating rules of this heaven and earth, and the cognition of that basic Origin.

The framework of Zhang Xuan's cultivation is a dual integration of the world of The First Order of the World and the methods of Huang Tiandi.

The method of Huang Tiandi is independent of heaven and earth; heaven and earth may perish, but I do not, naturally walking and advancing between heaven and earth.

And the method of The First Order of the World is to deeply integrate into heaven and earth, obtaining the supreme authority between heaven and earth.

After obtaining the supreme authority between heaven and earth, one can play everyone in the palm of one's hand; after reaching such a level and strength, one finally transcends, becoming the most special existence.

Zhang Xuan is walking both paths; his own cultivation realm is constantly rising, and his strength is fierce and formidable.

At the same time, by using this level to promote the most original rules between heaven and earth to achieve the Other Shore, it will be easier and simpler to transcend in the end.

This is the path he has chosen and must walk; others cannot imitate or borrow it.

Therefore, he needs to read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles; that Quasi-Immortal Emperor fell in the Emperor Fall Era.

A large part of the original rules he understood have not changed, but with the addition of Dark Matter, some parts also need to be altered.

Zhang Xuan is now bit by bit determining the parameters that need to be changed himself.

When he truly and correctly determines this point, he will be able to cross into the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm without illness or disaster; it will not be earth-shattering, but he will naturally be able to achieve such a level.

On the dam of the boundless Boundary Sea, Zhang Xuan strolled, crossing an extremely long distance in just a few leaps.

He even surpassed that Butcher and the one who sells fake medicine, almost reaching the end of the Boundary Sea.

Zhang Xuan could even see the boundless desolation at the end of the sea, but he did not look out; after seeing it, he turned and left.

Behind him was that Dark Immortal Emperor, and the boundless dark storm formed by the breathing and exhaling of Heaven and Earth Essence.

It is unknown how many Immortal King-level figures sank and completely perished in this storm.

Yet when that boundless dark storm fell upon Zhang Xuan's body, it was naturally swallowed and absorbed by his body.

With the help of the Chat Group's conversion, this time he truly touched the Origin of the Dark Immortal Emperor.

The countless Dark Matter swallowed previously with the help of the Nine Heavens and Shi Di could not compare to the endless Dark Matter swallowed while standing at the end of the Boundary Sea this time.

This is the matter closest to the Dark Immortal Emperor, and it also contains the Dark Immortal Emperor's thoughts on heaven and earth and the entire world.

This part of the thinking is not fake, but real.

Because the Dark Immortal Emperor's wish before death was to get rid of his dark state, every time he exhaled Heaven and Earth Essence, he would include his understanding of the rules within it.

The four Quasi-Immortal Emperors at the end of the Boundary Sea are only breaking through in the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm by utilizing this situation.

They even pinned their hopes on that Immortal Emperor, after exhaling enough Heaven and Earth Essence in the end, informing them of his insights and experience in achieving the Immortal Emperor realm during that process.

The heaviest Dark Matter is contained within that piece of heaven and earth, contained at the end of the Boundary Sea, having been filtered once by the four Quasi-Immortal Emperors in advance.

They can be said to be the first to fall from orthodox Immortal Dao practitioners into the dark realm.

And they are tireless in doing so.

They even specifically invented the origin and bone energy to set off dark frenzies in the world, causing the heaven and earth to undergo violent changes time and time again.

Zhang Xuan stood outside this heaven and earth, quietly feeling the impact and baptism of the boundless Dark Essence.

The violent Dark Essence was blocked by him alone; after digesting and absorbing it, he exhaled more pure Essence to merge into heaven and earth.

This caused a huge storm to blow between heaven and earth as well, but it was an Essence storm, not a dark storm.

He did not continue to go deeper, but stopped his steps before the Boundary Sea Dam.

Right here, he inhaled the endless Dark Matter summoned by the Dark Immortal Emperor's breathing; this counts as one of the sources of Dark Matter.

The Immortal Emperor-level Origin within this also has good reference significance for him; the most critical thing is the profound understanding of the Origin of heaven and earth.

Such a realm and level are very meaningful to Zhang Xuan.

Standing in this area, and even using this area as a base point, endless Dark Matter was absorbed by Zhang Xuan, then circulated through the Chat Group and converted into harmless matter.

Then, within the purest Origin, the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art, which has been sublimated to an unknown realm and level, refined this bit by bit.

He could even reverse-engineer the realm during this process, revealing the Dao Fruit of the Immortal Emperor.

This is a supreme and mysterious Creation; between heaven and earth, only Zhang Xuan can bear it.

Others, even if a Quasi-Immortal Emperor were to inhale like this, would be corrupted by darkness on the spot. (End of chapter)
