The Xianwu Universe, the Great Zhou World, resembling a purple sun, spans the center.
Within the darkness, vast amounts of primordial chaos are inhaled and exhaled, transforming into primal world energy, nourishing all living beings within the world, as natural as breathing.
Above it, scattered paradises, heavenly realms, and even unknown dimensional voids also take this opportunity to absorb the primal energy transformed by the world. At this point, this primal energy is no longer the fundamental essence, but secondary terrestrial energies and heavenly fortunes.
Whether a world can survive independently and sustain itself within the cosmic chaos is an important sign of its maturity.
Even heavenly immortal realms must still rely on a world to exist.
However, at this moment, the entire Great Zhou World trembled, a point of light detached from it, several purple dragons coiling around it. Suddenly, it vibrated and expanded rapidly, becoming like a crimson sun, fully entering the chaos.
Inhale… exhale…
As if a newborn’s first cry, or plants absorbing water and nutrients for the first time, this crimson sun greedily absorbed the chaotic forces, devouring vast streams of primordial energy, transforming them into the purest world essence.
At the same time, several purple dragons roared and plunged directly into the crimson sun.
The crimson sun’s size suddenly expanded several times, like a satellite orbiting the Great Zhou World, radiating the unique brilliance of a world.
Such a tremendous change naturally alarmed many powerful beings. Within the purple world, from the scattered heavenly realms and paradises, numerous astonished divine thoughts suddenly emerged, two of which were particularly mighty, like the world itself, instantly breaking through the world’s constraints and entering the chaos.
Yet at that very moment, the crimson sun world suddenly flickered, faintly revealing behind it a vast palace’s illusory shadow, and then just like that, it vanished!
The two divine thoughts tore through the chaos, wandering through the cosmos for a long time, but ultimately found nothing, and could only return in disappointment.
Sixth-level heavenly immortals can move together with their worlds, while seventh-level golden immortals can dominate even within the universe itself.
However, without supreme treasures like the Master Temple, the consumption is enormous, just as even the best swimmers cannot live underwater permanently and must come ashore to rest.
…
“Promoting a heavenly realm to a world must be done in the external universe, absorbing primordial chaos energy. I just didn’t expect such a commotion, drawing the attention of the Celestial Emperor and the Supreme Immortal Sovereign!”
Outside the Great Zhou World, the Master Temple compresses Mount Meru into the tiniest dust, so even the divine thoughts of the two seventh-level golden immortals failed to detect anything.
On the Throne of Ten Thousand Worlds, Wu Ming’s mind stirred, witnessing the successful ascension of the Huangting World, which once again began expanding within the Master Temple’s space.
The original Huangting Heavenly Realm was already larger than the average heavenly immortal realm, nearly occupying 0.1% of the entire Master Temple’s space, and this time it expanded four to five times more.
“Promoting a heavenly realm into a world is like children truly growing up and becoming independent. From now on, without the Master Temple’s assistance, the Huangting World can operate on its own…”
Wu Ming felt deeply gratified witnessing this.
Compared to the inconceivable artifact that is the Master Temple, the Huangting World is ultimately something entirely his own, the most trustworthy.
And as it continues to grow, his progress in fully seizing control of the Master Temple also accelerates.
“With the formation of a new world and the descent of its rank, there are still some things that must be done in person!”
Wu Ming’s true form took a step forward and instantly vanished from the throne.
…
Huangting World.
“This is… the resonance of heaven and earth?”
As a former divine emperor in the Great Zhou Western Region World, Zhang Hao was most sensitive to this change.
“Last time I noticed that this world might not be complete. Although the theories of divine and immortal cultivation methods were perfect, they could not ascend to higher levels… but now, this limit has suddenly expanded, and even compared to my original world, there is little difference!”
Zhang Hao stretched comfortably.
Although he was no longer at the seventh level of the divine path, with the ascension of the heavenly realm, he felt as if the cage that once confined him had vanished.
“In this world, we also have the hope of attaining the Dao!”
On the other side, Miao Yi and Linglong, former Dao Lords, also showed joy on their faces, but then thought of that person, and their expressions became even more complex: “Such a great change in the world must be the work of the Creator. I wonder what the Lord intends?”
Wu Ming, for his part, wanted to do nothing at the moment.
As soon as he arrived in the Huangting World, he triggered astonishing changes.
Radiating from his location as the center, thousands of auspicious rays and nine-colored clouds descended, as the true Creator of this world, the entire world displayed an attitude of granting whatever he desired.
This absolute control, this immense power surpassing all kings and dictators, was extremely intoxicating.
“Come!”
He extended his right hand, and a layer of cosmic yellow energy descended, rippling with five colors and nine glories, clearly carrying something extraordinary.
“The essence of heaven and earth! Since this world was entirely created and elevated by me, even though there are still countless plants, living beings, and independent wills, I can still monopolize ninety percent of the world’s essence!”
Wu Ming did not resist, allowing the world’s essence to settle upon him.
This essence harmonized perfectly with his heavenly immortal nature, requiring no resistance or digestion, instantly granting him the world’s rank.
“Ninety percent of the world’s essence… I wonder how much the Celestial Emperor in the Great Zhou World can claim? But for an outsider, even one percent would be the maximum. Although, considering the scale of the Great Zhou World, even one percent is terrifying…”
Cultivation stages: third-level immortal, fourth-level grandmaster, fifth-level earthly immortal.
Only at the sixth-level heavenly immortal does one truly transcend mortality and begin the path to immortality.
To ascend from a heavenly immortal to a golden immortal, one must possess the essence of a world and obtain its rank.
The best path is to cultivate and elevate one’s own heavenly realm into a world, directly monopolizing a vast amount of essence, achieving the peak upon reaching the seventh-level golden immortal!
But not everyone is as fortunate as him, possessing the Master Temple to plunder countless worlds and nourish oneself.
Venturing into other worlds, benefiting all beings, can also earn the descent of essence and merit, truly granting one a rank, though the permissions and proportions are pitiful compared to his.
“Seventh-level golden immortal, naturally achieved, and upon breakthrough, immediately at the peak!”
Wu Ming was still dressed in his simple robes and star-adorned cap, appearing ordinary, like a common young Daoist priest, a true return to simplicity. Even other heavenly immortals or golden immortals stood before him, they would be unable to discern his true nature.
“With this rank, every action can harness the essence of the world, how vast is its power?”
Wu Ming sighed.
With his rank, anyone wishing to confront him would have to face the entire Huangting World, the collective power of over ninety percent of its population, fortune, and will!
After all, the accumulation of a world is always stronger than that of an individual, even more terrifying in the case of a world like the Great Zhou.
“A golden immortal is the ruler of a world!”
Wu Ming exhaled.
As long as he remained within the Huangting World, no calamity could harm him, unless it were the great catastrophe of the world’s destruction, in which case he would share the same fate as heaven and earth, the same as the sun and moon.
For ordinary cultivators, reaching this stage requires an indispensable combination of fate, talent, and fortune, with only one in thousands achieving such a feat, worthy of the titles of Sage or Dao Lord.
But in Wu Ming’s own view, he had merely taken a few more steps than others, seeing a bit more of the scenery.
At the very least, he had already glimpsed the hope of true eternity.
Yet even with his current seventh-level golden immortal body, probing the secrets of that Western fantasy universe still seemed uncertain.
He couldn’t help but look at the Master Temple’s data:
[Name: Wu Ming]
[Cultivation: Golden Immortal (Level 7)]
[World: Huangting World (Master Temple · 1%)]
[Unique Title: Sovereign]
“The Huangting World has already occupied one percent of the Master Temple’s volume, and the eighth-level Great Luo realm is at least a hundred times more powerful than a golden immortal?”
Although cultivation is not a simple matter of conversion, this still let Wu Ming know the difficulty of breaking through to Great Luo.
“Master Temple!”
He called softly, and the detailed data of the Master Temple appeared:
[Master Temple]
[Number of Reincarnators: 3,275!]
[Explored Worlds: Seer World, Star World, Spirit and Ghost World, Fusang World, Phantom Spirit World, Divine Warrior World…]
[Buildings: Master Hall, Primal Pool, Great Luo Hall, Creation Hall]
[Primal Energy Reserve: 250,000 units (Current Capacity Limit of the Primal Pool: 500,000 units)]
…
“The Primal Pool’s reserves have expanded again… Wait, hold on… something’s wrong…”
Wu Ming’s expression suddenly changed.
Within the peculiar space of the Master Temple, a crimson sun world occupied one percent of its volume, a scale already vast enough for him to uncover some secrets hidden deep within the Master Temple.
The Master Temple is an artifact, and it has indeed recognized him as its master.
But ultimately, it was created by someone else, much like a program. Although he has ownership and usage rights, the creator may have left behind some backdoors and hidden functions.
However, now, through the Huangting World’s encroachment, it was as if he was reformatting and rewriting the source code, many fundamental secrets began to surface.
“The main body of the Master Temple is already mostly under my control. Although some fragments remain scattered outside, with its current capabilities, collecting them is only a matter of time. Even if they cannot be collected, or have already been completely destroyed, the Master Temple can replicate and replenish them by consuming primal energy on its own…”
This was the first piece of information Wu Ming obtained from the Master Temple.
The second secret…
His figure flickered, arriving at the depths of the Master Temple. The original palace automatically receded, revealing a space resembling a treasure vault, within which was only a single point of light, exuding a mysterious aura.
“A coordinate to a multidimensional universe…”
Looking at this possible coordinate to the universe of the being who created the Master Temple, Wu Ming couldn’t help but feel a complex mix of emotions…
