Chapter 216 Box
Looking at the box Liu Shen brought back, Fang Ming wasn't too surprised; he had expected it.
The black shadow that previously attacked the Burial Region was clearly looking for this item, in addition to the Burial Region's origin ancient artifact.
It was quite normal for Liu Shen, along with the original gate, to achieve victory and obtain this box.
Liu Shen looked at the dilapidated wooden box suspended in the air, emitting a faint golden glow, and spoke with a slightly solemn expression, "What the Other Realm was looking for should be this."
This was something she had managed to snatch with great difficulty during the fierce battle.
The box looked almost rotten, emitting a faint golden glow; it didn't look like a box, but rather a solid block of wood.
The surface was inscribed with intricate patterns, and it was these patterns that emitted the faint golden sheen, giving off an indescribable sense of ancient vicissitude.
"Fellow Daoist, do you know what's inside this box?" she asked, looking at Fang Ming, "It seems different from the origin ancient artifact of the Other Realm and the Burial Ground; is it also something similar?"
Judging from the black shadow's actions, the origin ancient artifact of the Burial Ground would certainly be similar to the origin ancient artifact of the Other Realm.
Its interior was likely something similar, a powerful Quasi-Immortal Emperor weapon!
"Fellow Daoist, why not ask the original gate directly? I believe within the All Heavens World, there's no one who knows more secrets than it," Fang Ming said, summoning the original gate as he spoke.
As a being at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level, the Deity of the original gate would only discuss this matter if it deemed it appropriate.
Hearing Fang Ming's words, Liu Shen showed a look of astonishment; she had always thought the original gate was a weapon forged by the person who left footprints on the Boundary Sea dike.
But now it seemed that wasn't the case.
This box involved the true 'Emperor' level!
The original gate appeared, the numerous Great Dao patterns on its surface glowing with Immortal light, flickering as if performing some kind of deduction, or perhaps shielding against potential prying.
Not long after, the voice of the Deity of the original gate sounded, very solemn and serious, saying with a warning tone:
"This box is related to my original master who forged me. His state is very poor right now. Do not disturb him. If he is startled, it will bring disaster upon you. Within the All Heavens World of this era, no one can restrain him!"
Clearly, even the original gate was quite wary of the Dark Immortal Emperor and did not consider him its original master.
Hearing this, Liu Shen's heart was solemn, knowing that this matter was indeed very serious.
She thought for a moment and asked, "Senior, can you open this box?"
"I cannot open this box either. This is an Emperor-level seal. Only by getting close to that place, close to my original master, will it open on its own," the Deity of the original gate said.
Liu Shen nodded solemnly. She understood what place the original gate was referring to: the end of the Boundary Sea, the ultimate land of darkness.
At this moment, the voice of the Deity of the original gate continued, solemnly reminding, "Do not let that Da Luo Sword Embryo fall to the other side of the Boundary Sea. That is my original master's true weapon; it is like how I once was."
As the words fell, the gate fell silent.
The Da Luo Sword Embryo, within that sword embryo was sealed the Three Lives Coffin's third inner coffin, which contained half of the Dark Immortal Emperor's body.
Looking at the silent original gate, Liu Shen regained her composure.
"That sword embryo..." Light flickered in Liu Shen's eyes, revealing the appearance of the Da Luo Sword Embryo, and she was shocked in her heart.
No matter what, she had never imagined that the origin of that sword embryo was so significant, far exceeding her imagination!
That sword embryo had long circulated in the world. Legend had it that it was forged from the scraps of a certain artifact and was not highly regarded by the world.
No matter what, the world had never imagined that the sword embryo was actually a true Emperor sword, a true Immortal Emperor weapon!
"No wonder everyone who obtained that sword embryo died inexplicably, and even Immortal Kings perished because of it. It turns out they couldn't bear that kind of fortune; it was actually a true Immortal Emperor weapon..." At this moment, Liu Shen finally understood.
"If the Deity of that sword embryo could be awakened..." Thinking of this, Liu Shen looked at Fang Ming, her intention clear.
Without a doubt, if the Deity of that sword embryo could be awakened, with the power of an Immortal Emperor weapon, its autonomous recovery could absolutely suppress a Quasi-Immortal Emperor!
"Fellow Daoist, don't think about it for now. There is great danger within that sword embryo. This matter is not feasible for the time being. If it becomes feasible, I will inform Fellow Daoist," Fang Ming said solemnly.
After awakening the Deity of the original gate, it wasn't that he hadn't thought of awakening the Deity of the Da Luo Sword Embryo.
But thinking that the sword embryo contained the contaminated body of the Original Immortal Emperor, he dismissed this idea.
That half-body appeared pure, but was actually already contaminated. If it were taken there and met with the Dark True Spirit of the Original Immortal Emperor, what would happen was unpredictable.
Even if this were to be done, it would be better to let the Original Immortal Emperor do it himself.
He didn't want to create another Dark Immortal Emperor over there; by then, he wouldn't even be able to run away if he wanted to.
"Fellow Daoist indeed knew the secrets within long ago." Liu Shen nodded and didn't dwell on this matter too much. She then said, "It seems Fellow Daoist is truly from the future, and from a future even more distant than Ye Qingxian's."
In her view, only this could explain why Fang Ming knew so many secrets.
"That's not important, but Fellow Daoist can think that way too." Fang Ming chuckled lightly and said, "I must remind Fellow Daoist that the enemies you will face in the future will be much stronger than imagined. The top priority is to grow as quickly as possible. In the future, only Immortal Emperors will be useful. As for my origin, that is not important."
Hearing this, Liu Shen fell silent. She understood Fang Ming's implied meaning; perhaps her guess was incorrect.
"Since that's the case, what plans does Fellow Daoist have?" With her thoughts turning, Liu Shen spoke. "Immortal Emperors are too ethereal; no one can see that far into the future. Even if a new system is successfully pioneered, it's not guaranteed to succeed. There were many glorious civilizations in the past... Although that child Shi Hao successfully used his body as a seed, he is still far from truly forging a completely new path... It's better for us to focus on the present."
In her view, only after successfully walking the path of using one's body as a seed and using that as a foundation to create a completely new cultivation system could one be considered to have truly forged a path, gaining the possibility of becoming an Immortal Emperor.
"Fellow Daoist, please see, how is my All Heavens World?" Fang Ming thought, and the All Heavens World appeared.
As Fang Ming's thoughts shifted, a prototype of Chaos emerged, enveloping the Great Dao Ancient Tree.
The Chaos was hazy, with countless light clusters floating within. Some clusters were exceptionally dazzling, while others appeared much dimmer; those were worlds, one by one, drifting.
"Not just simple worlds... the prototype of the River of Time, destiny, karma..." Liu Shen's eyes narrowed slightly. She saw things that worlds alone could not encompass.
This was different from the world as she understood it!
Her gaze shifted, looking again at the light clusters suspended in the Chaos, then showing a look of surprise, she said, "The flow of Time within Fellow Daoist's All Heavens World is actually different from the outside?"
"Indeed. The flow of Time within the All Heavens World is faster compared to the outside. As of now, two months inside roughly equals one day outside," Fang Ming said frankly.
Currently, after he became Immortal, his cultivation soared, reaching the peak level of Immortality. The original one hundred and eight peak-level Small Thousand Worlds within the All Heavens World were now approaching the level of Great Chiliocosm.
Upon reaching this level, he could already adjust the flow of Time within the worlds.
Worlds at this level could exist forever, forming their own cycle, without needing to worry about their own decay due to the Time cycle being too fast.
If he became an Immortal King, he could make the adjustment even faster, to the point where one day inside equaling one or even two years outside would not be a problem.
Hearing this, a look of surprise appeared in Liu Shen's eyes. During the Immortal Ancient Era, Without End Immortal King had also created Time Dao patterns, with which he could forge Time divine mansions that possessed similar effects.
However, such divine mansions often had considerable limitations; even if forged from Immortal metal, they would decay.
Cultivating and comprehending the Dao within such divine mansions would often be affected, adding a layer of hindrance, making it impossible to directly comprehend the Great Dao of heaven and earth, and the effect was not ideal.
But now, Fang Ming directly adjusted his own All Heavens World, accelerating the flow of Time within it, so there would be no such side effects.
For cultivators entering it, it was simply equivalent to entering another world with an accelerated flow of Time.
"If that's the case, the growth rate of cultivators in our world will surely increase significantly. Compared to cultivators from other worlds, it's equivalent to having dozens of times more cultivation time," Liu Shen said with delight.
Before truly reaching the peak of the Mortal Dao realm, the level of Middle Thousand World was sufficient, and cultivators could not perceive a significant difference.
The key was the period after reaching the peak of the Mortal Dao realm and advancing towards the Immortal Dao realm; normal Middle Thousand Worlds were difficult to meet the requirements.
The pond that is the Middle Thousand World is not deep enough to nurture True Dragons like True Immortals.
Of course, Red Dust Immortals are an exception!
Red Dust Immortals require extreme environments; the more extreme the environment, the more beneficial it is for achieving Red Dust Immortality.
After reaching the Immortal Dao realm, the world level is no longer the key factor restricting the increase in their cultivation.
After the Immortal Dao realm, a normal Great Chiliocosm has very little influence on Immortals; they mainly rely on their own 'pondering', creating techniques and comprehending the Dao!
The rules of the Great Dao of heaven and earth in a Great Chiliocosm provide very little help to them. What they need to comprehend is the supreme and unique Dao, perfecting their own Dao. It makes little difference what environment they cultivate in.
In other words, for Liu Shen, she could also enter it and use the difference in Time flow within to perfect her own path.
In fact, after their cultivation reaches a certain level, beings like Quasi-Immortal Emperors, if they are willing, can definitely do similar things, gaining themselves endless cultivation time.
For the vast majority of Immortal Dao beings, what they lack is not Time, but rather having cultivated for countless years without any progress.
However, for those exceptionally brilliant beings, sometimes what they lack is precisely Time.
Give them some Time, and they will be able to soar and become supreme existences!
Furthermore, for the current Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, what is lacking is Time.
For the Heavenly Talents of this era, Time for growth is even more needed.
