What does that Celestial Human intend to do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He likely intends to devour all living beings in the Twin Cities Heaven and Earth to heal his own grave wounds.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused, sitting in the carriage, Miss Ming Yue stared at the illusory image emerging from the prayer connection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned her gaze to the illusory image of Young Master Zhang, speaking softly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If Young Master Zhang has no way to escape, it’s best not to go there, and to leave directly—if you have a way, you might as well go inside and collect some Exotic Soil.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng curiously asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Won’t that Celestial Human start devouring immediately?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Ming Yue shook her head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From the High Heaven, I learned from a friend that the guy woke up once not long ago and will not wake up again for a short period, at least three months.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, the premise is not to approach him—he should be around those Supreme Treasures.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng suddenly realized, so those trapped in the so-called Exotic Treasure land should at least survive for more than two months.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pondered, others may fall, but it seems like the first disciple he just accepted is also trapped....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Ming Yue, can one leave there by using the Bridge of Helplessness?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bridge of Helplessness??\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the starry sky, inside the carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Ming Yue was genuinely surprised:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Bridge of Helplessness is in your hands?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long silence, she sighed a few times in admiration, then continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, using it, you can indeed explore inside—but don’t stay for long.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for my painting, you don’t have to worry about retrieving it for the time being.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng nodded decisively, having made up his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A ruptured piece, fallen into reality, a different dimension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or rather, an ancient realm of the previous era.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quietly pondered, and once again Miss Mingyue’s voice sounded in his ear:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s right, Young Master Zhang, you can also place a spiritual imprint in it using a special technique, which might be of great benefit to you in the future. As for the special technique, I’ll teach you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng was intrigued and after a bit of questioning, he suddenly understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Miss Mingyue,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the so-called Exotic Treasure Land — a fragment of a real different dimension that has fallen into reality — can be integrated into one’s own Divine Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The benefits are significant, the most prominent being that one’s Divine Realm becomes semi-material.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words — beings can truly enter it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at least at the level of a Celestial Human, one can attempt the integration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The prerequisite for integration is to use a special technique to blend the spiritual imprint with that place in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The technique is quite simple as well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Mingyue’s voice rose:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the old world, this technique was called ’Divine Enthronement’, trying to transform into the Earth Deity of that place...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She explained in detail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng’s expression turned slightly serious, Earth Deity?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He listened intently, Miss Mingyue seemed extremely knowledgeable about the Earth Deity Technique — which was understandable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhen Yuanzi was the Ancestor of Earth Immortals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Earth Deities naturally fell within the realm of Earth Immortals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time he fully understood this technique, two hours had already passed, and Zhang Fusheng stopped his fingers that kept tapping in the air,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the spiritual altar constructed in his mind also dissipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The connection was severed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze fell on Cui Wenda, whose chest was heaving violently, and he amiably patted Cui Wenda’s shoulder:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little Cui...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng said earnestly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems like you know a bit too much...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Wenda’s face twisted, breathing heavily with malice, he stared at Zhang Fusheng but then suddenly became calm:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s just death after all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng was surprised:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You seem to be open-minded, don’t worry, Little Cui, you’re not that easy to kill.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng placed a finger on Cui Wenda’s forehead, the Spirit Furnace Fire burned, a thought forcibly penetrated the ancestral acupoint on Cui Wenda’s forehead, forcibly leaving his own imprint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Wenda’s life and death were at Zhang Fusheng’s whim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he still felt it was not safe enough, he glanced at the collapsing, contracting towards a gigantic vortex horizon,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng pondered for a moment, the Spirit Furnace Fire behind his head burned more fiercely,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>his hands slightly blurred, reaching into Cui Wenda’s forehead, he actually caught Cui Wenda’s soul!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Wenda let out a howl of pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng was indifferent, forcibly tearing at Cui Wenda’s soul,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>this was the unique ability brought by igniting the Spirit Furnace Fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He found Cui Wenda’s memories, although he couldn’t observe them in detail, he could ’erase’ them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By forcibly erasing recent events, or squeezing and shattering that portion of soul memories,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a Nine Netherworlds Sin-Extinguishing Celestial Venerate Dharma Aspect appeared behind Zhang Fusheng, leaving behind a Dharma Aspect imprint within Cui Wenda’s soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nine Netherworlds Sin-Extinguishing Celestial Venerate, who presides over life and death, rewards good and punishes evil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The condensed Dharma Aspect was somewhat related to the true Nine Netherworlds Sin-Extinguishing Celestial Venerate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the Nine Netherworlds was originally the final destination for the deceased and souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hands withdrew from Cui Wenda’s forehead, Zhang Fusheng contentedly withdrew his hands from Cui Wenda’s forehead,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>smiling, he said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little Cui, I’m a cautious person, now we’re just one step away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Wenda panted heavily:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What exactly do you want to do...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words had just fallen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His vision blurred, silence engulfed him, he looked around and found himself in a mysterious place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance sounded the flow of a river, a glow resembling the destination of the Other Shore,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>as for the vicinity, there was a colossal divine statue towering skyward, with phantoms kneeling before it, constantly praying and chanting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Prostrating, Central Pole Sect Leader, Emperor of the Underworld, Nine Netherworlds Sin-Extinguishing Celestial Venerate...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the pious prayers, the imprint deep within the soul spirit trembled,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Wenda let out a muffled groan, his spiritual will, which had fallen into Zhang Fusheng’s Divine Realm, was forced to approach the divine statue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where exactly is this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He softly mumbled, suspecting it was Zhang Fusheng’s Divine Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But where in the world is there such a real Divine Realm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Wenda lifted his head, able to see flowing clouds and mists covering the sky, and in the distant horizon, layers of purgatory landscapes floated...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flawless soul phantasm turned its head, gazing at him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Prostrate, kneel in worship, after thousands of years, you may transcend...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Wenda shivered with dread, feeling an inexplicable pressure, a piercing pain!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you don’t kneel in worship, the suffering is relentless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dozens of souls spoke to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under intense agony, Cui Wenda arduously prostrated, imitating these flawless true spirits, kowtowing to the colossal divine statue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In kowtowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He found the pain vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Wenda was overjoyed, the extreme, soul-stabbing pain resurfaced, he let out a heart-wrenching wail, then kowtowed, then chanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once, twice, and again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Year after year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fifty years later, continuous kowtowing had rendered Cui Wenda completely numb, he began to believe this was the reality,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>his past twenty-plus years as a noble of the Cui Family began to feel illusory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another fifty years, he became devout, believing his twenty-some years on earth were merely a dream illusion — he had been here a hundred years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to this century, those twenty years were insignificant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the second hundred years,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and onto the third hundred years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three hundred years, endlessly, unwaveringly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He became an utterly devout believer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Eight Sceneries Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng, who had merged the experiences of three hundred years of spiritual cultivation, slowly opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three hundred years of spiritual cultivation, three hundred years of spiritual accumulation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Divine Realm, it had also been three hundred
