Chapter 406: Illusory Dao Fruit

"A grand gift?"

"Although you say you have transcended the Creation Realm, you are now nothing more than an illusion, like flowers in a mirror or the moon in the water, about to be erased by Reality. What kind of grand gift do you have, and what kind of deal are you trying to make?"

Li Heng said calmly.

Su Xian's current situation reminded him of that previous black hole spirit, that singularity monster. Both had transcended the Time-Space River, yet both were illusions, fundamentally unable to stir up trouble in Reality.

"An illusory Creation Realm Above is still the Creation Realm Above."

Su Xian shook his head and said.

"Before I am completely erased by Reality, I will condense my illusory Dao Fruit of the Creation Realm Above and gift it to you, Senior. If you have the ability, you can turn this Dao Fruit into True Reality, and thereby ascend to the heavens in one step."

"And I only ask that you, within your power, ensure the Tianjian Sect does not perish, or even just remember that a sect called the Tianjian Sect existed. If there is a lingering thought, there will be a response; as long as the last trace of the Tianjian Sect has not dissipated, it can reappear in the world!"

His eyes were filled with persistence, without the slightest wavering.

Li Heng was silent for a moment, then spoke.

"And what about you?"

If you are erased by Reality, it is equivalent to you as a person ceasing to exist; all traces in time and space will vanish, completely turning into nothingness.

"But Senior, the Dao of Idealism is just like this."

Su Xian smiled upon hearing this.

"Besides, haven't you, Senior, remembered me..."

The voice gradually grew faint and inaudible; Su Xian's figure and the traces of his existence also disappeared under the Correction Force of Reality, turning into nothingness, leaving behind only an illusory ball of light that floated into Li Heng's hand.

This was precisely the Dao Fruit left behind by Su Xian.

Li Heng understood Su Xian's meaning at this moment.

Perhaps long before he arrived, Su Xian knew that dragging things out like this would certainly lead to a certain death. But after seeing Li Heng, he felt hope and wanted to take a gamble.

So he exhausted everything he had to give Li Heng this gift.

It's just, does this Su Xian think so highly of him, Li?

If he were to fall halfway through his journey,

then it would truly be all for nothing.

Li Heng sighed inwardly; this Su Xian was indeed a ruthless person, possessing such a firm will, regretting nothing even after a hundred deaths, unlike many of the beings he had seen before, trusting himself to the extreme.

Trusting his own judgment of people.

He sensed the illusory ball of light slightly and raised an eyebrow.

He could perceive the eternal true intent radiating from the ball of light. Even if it was only an illusion, it contained an incomparably persistent Dao rhyme of wanting to live forever, to exist forever, to be undying and indestructible!

He couldn't help but think of the infinity of that black hole spirit.

Infinity, eternity...

Li Heng murmured, feeling that these elements might be pieces of a puzzle for a certain realm, he just didn't know how many were still missing. Thinking this in his heart, he stored the illusory Dao Fruit ball of light into his body.

The Source Power required to turn this kind of illusory Dao Fruit involving the Creation Realm Above into True Reality was something he currently lacked entirely; it was no longer something that could be measured by astronomical numbers.

He would have to wait until later, when his Source Power became more abundant.

At this moment, that Black Fog face became numb and dazed.

What had just happened?

And who was he?

Oh, right, he was a collection of obsessions produced after the death of the Tianjian Sect members, but he had been trapped within the Tianjian Sect, completely unable to go to the vast True Realm.

Wait, then who was he trapped by, and who was suppressed?

He felt even more confused in his heart.

"Hey, are you the outsider who suppressed me?"

The Black Fog face looked at Li Heng and shouted.

Li Heng raised an eyebrow, and An Yu beside him also fell into confusion.

It seemed that apart from him, who was protected by Source Power, both An Yu and the Black Fog monster derived from the power of the Calamity had experienced logical gaps due to Su Xian's complete disappearance.

This Black Fog monster actually thought he was the one who had suppressed it.

This Correction Force is truly simple and crude.

Li Heng sighed a few times, pressed his hand down, and directly suppressed the Black Fog face in place; he increased his power by a fraction, making the Black Fog face unable to move at all.

"So what if it was me who suppressed you?"

"Tell me about the situation outside."

He looked at the sky, where the world barrier had vanished due to Su Xian's disappearance and shadow tentacles were already probing, and said calmly.

Su Xian was dead, so he could only catch another fellow to ask.

Soon, the Black Fog face submissively handed over the answers.

For example, the Calamity encountered by the Tianjian Sect, and the general state of the True Realm.

Of course, it was the general state from before; after all, he didn't even know how many years the Calamity had been happening now, so there would definitely be some slight changes.

Li Heng was thoughtful; the situation in the True Realm was not what he had imagined. It was not an infinitely vast continent, but a large time-space composed of multiple Heaven and Earth gathered together and divided into a circular shape.

Roaming in the True Realm was actually shuttling between various Heaven and Earth. It was just that in the True Realm, the distances between these Heaven and Earth were much closer than in the Great Void.

In the center of the True Realm, that is, the center of the circle, existed the most powerful Heaven and Earth in the True Realm, which was also the location of the original Immortal God Heavenly Court, sitting in the center and radiating to the various Great Voids of the heavens.

Li Heng could vaguely perceive that what Xuanyang asked him to find was very likely in that Central Great World. However, first, he had to deal with those clusters of Black Fog entrenched outside the Tianjian Sect.

It was this Black Fog Disaster that destroyed the Tianjian Sect!

The power of the Tianjian Sect back then was neither big nor small; excluding Su Xian, the Outer Disciple who had always been hiding himself, there were three Creation Realm combatants, governing three Heaven and Earth.

However, those three Creation Realm experts died quickly in the early stages of the Black Fog invasion, among them the Sect Master of the Tianjian Sect, and the Sect Master Token, the Tianjian Token, was lost along with them.

The three Heaven and Earth they governed were also shrouded by the Black Fog, and the remaining Tianjian Sect members could only shrink back into the Tianjian Sect. Although it seemed now that shrinking back was useless, they were all dead.

"Speaking of which, why were you contaminated by the Black Fog?"

Li Heng asked curiously.

He had previously seen the sword strike Su Xian unleashed; One Sword Separates the World isolates time and space, so it should have been impossible for the monsters and Black Fog outside to invade.

The Black Fog face answered honestly.

"The Black Fog is not fog; it is born from the human heart."

Li Heng nodded, understanding; no wonder.

Su Xian's sword could isolate time and space, but it could not isolate the human heart, so naturally, it could not avoid the influence of this Black Fog. From this perspective, Su Xian did not die unjustly.

Very quickly.

Li Heng extracted all the information from the Black Fog and killed it directly, without wasting words; was he supposed to keep this monster for the New Year?

Then, the sensation of Source Power being credited brought him joy.

First was over nine trillion Source Power, and combined with his previous one trillion, even after some consumption, he had now reached a total of ten trillion Source Power.

However, this was not worth him being happy about.

Because the Source Power required to open the fourth heaven of the Four Brahma Heavens, Pingyu Jiayi Heaven, and make it become True Reality was one million times ten trillion Source Power.

His current total Source Power was merely a drop in the bucket.

But besides this nine trillion Source Power, he had also obtained a Golden Source Point, which made a huge difference. He had sensed that if he used a Golden Source Point to open Pingyu Jiayi Heaven and make it become True Reality, then it would only require one hundred Golden Source Points.

As long as he killed another one hundred Creation Realm monsters like the Black Fog face, or destroyed multiple eras and multiple Heaven and Earth, he could successfully open Pingyu Jiayi Heaven; the goal was not remote.

After his thoughts calmed, Li Heng took a step with An Yu and returned to the Forbidden Land of the Back Mountain of the Tianjian Sect, looking at the monster before him that he had imprisoned, the one that had previously wanted to swallow him in one bite.

This monster's eyes had been very fierce before, but now only a kind of confusion remained, as if it were also a change resulting from the passing of Su Xian.

Then, Li Heng slashed out with a sword, One Sword Separates the World, shielding the Tianjian Sect with a more powerful world barrier, causing those shadow tentacles that had already reached inside to snap instantly.

This was not Li Heng specifically fulfilling Su Xian's wish.

On the contrary, he only intended to remember this Tianjian Sect.

Anyway, this was also Su Xian's request.

Otherwise, he would not have killed that obsession aggregate just now.

The reason he shielded this Tianjian Sect was mainly because he discovered that the Forbidden Land of the Back Mountain of this Tianjian Sect had a Space-Time Anchor Point with that True Realm Rift.

He could return through this Space-Time Anchor Point in the future.

This also saved him the trouble of crossing the Void himself.

In this way, shielding the land of the Tianjian Sect did not matter.

After all, although the Space-Time Anchor Point was not particularly important, it was somewhat important, and it was necessary for Li Heng to protect the Space-Time Anchor Point from damage.

However, this meant that someone needed to guard this Space-Time Anchor Point on both this side and the True Realm Rift side. Li Heng thought for a moment, looked at the monster, and spoke calmly. "Consider yourself lucky."

This monster had been guarding the Space-Time Anchor Point before.

He would not kill it for now; he would let it continue to guard it and see how it went. After all, Su Xian had at least given him something good, so what was the harm in giving it a chance?

If the effect was not good later and it was useless, it would not be too late to kill it then.

Anyway, the True Realm was so vast that it was not lacking this one monster.

As for the True Realm Rift side...

Li Heng cast his gaze toward An Yu.

Under his direct gaze, An Yu began to feel afraid.

But very quickly, An Yu followed Li Heng's instructions and returned to the True Realm Rift through this Space-Time Anchor Point. She already possessed the power bestowed by Li Heng to protect the anchor point on the True Realm Rift side.

As for the issue of betrayal, he did not need to worry.

She had his power on her.

Let alone not daring to betray, there was not even the possibility of betrayal.

Having resolved the hidden dangers regarding his retreat, Li Heng looked up at the sky. Even through the world barrier, that layer of World Bubble membrane, he could see the shadows outside and the large swaths of Black Fog.

This scene was incomparably Weird, mixed with endless despair.

It was like the last person on Earth encountering the sunset, casting a long, lonely shadow under the light of the setting sun.

And Li Heng was that person.

But the difference was that Li Heng was not a mortal.

He was a True God of the human world!

Black Fog, shadows, monsters?

To him, they were all his own Source Power lost outside!

Now it was time to take it back.

He smiled slightly, leaped, left the land of the Tianjian Sect, and completely entered the vast Heaven and Earth of the True Realm, facing the Black Fog, facing the shadows, and facing the monsters!

"Sun Earth Dharma Form, manifest!"
