Chapter 99 Moving away
In the stone courtyard, the tall and mighty butcher stared straight at Jiang Jue, because he might know the secret that would shock all the kings in the world.
"To enter the realm of the emperor, you need to create a complete method of your own, which is called opening the way."
After a few breaths, Jiang Jue spoke calmly. There was no lightning or thunder, no strange phenomena in the sky or earth. It was as if he was just narrating an ordinary thing.
"Create a complete method of your own?"
The butcher was stunned for a moment.
Haven't I been practicing my own method all along? He also said that the method of the fairyland system I practiced was incomplete.
"Impossible. The methods created by several Heavenly Emperors have shocked the world and spread throughout the universe. The immortals of all races have used them to reach the king realm. Even I have achieved my current realm with this cultivation system. How could I not complete it? The methods of the Immortal Realm are definitely good."
The Butcher was a creature from the years before the Emperor's fall, and he had experienced many epochs and turmoils. However, Jiang Jue's words were still difficult for him to understand, and even a little unacceptable. Practitioners were all firmly on the path. If you told an Immortal King that the path you were taking was wrong, the consequences would be serious, as you would be denying the path you had taken to reach the King's realm.
"You have misunderstood, my friend. It is not that the cultivation method of the Immortal Realm is wrong. What I am saying is that the entire cultivation system of the Immortal Realm is not complete enough to allow people to reach that supreme realm. Otherwise, several Heavenly Emperors might have truly entered the Emperor realm. Moreover, the most important thing is that this is the path of the predecessors, and you must forge your own path. If the thorns on the road ahead have been cut, how can you be considered to have paved your own way? You need to transcend the constraints of your predecessors. After all, that is the path that is most suitable for several Heavenly Emperors, but it is not necessarily completely suitable for future generations."
Jiang Jue thought this person might have some misunderstanding.
The cultivation system of the fairyland is indeed not bad. It covers the heavens and affects all living beings. Many fairy kings have relied on this system to reach the king realm. The butcher even sensed the opportunity to reach the emperor realm with this system. Although he failed to break through, it was not wrong. Otherwise, the butcher might not have survived.
However, it is still too difficult to reach the emperor realm.
"Fellow Daoist, are you saying that you can develop a complete cultivation method of your own from beginning to end?"
The butcher was shocked.
"Yes, if the Emperor Realm is compared to a road, then the method you are cultivating now is the cornerstone of this road. Every cornerstone must be laid by your own hands. Now the cornerstones of your road are not complete, and many of them are borrowed, making it difficult to form your own road. Because you have borrowed the other party's cornerstone, you cannot get rid of the shackles, and will invisibly approach the other party's road, and finally return to the road opened by several Heavenly Emperors to form a dead loop."
Jiang Jue spoke again.
"Those who learn from me live, those who imitate me die, is that it?"
The butcher exclaimed.
Everyone understands this sentence, and any practitioner can explain it clearly. However, every time, every realm will have completely different insights. Only now does the butcher realize the real mystery of it. After all, following the path of predecessors will never allow one to enter that supreme realm.
"Exactly!"
Afterwards, the butcher sat cross-legged under the ancient tree for a long time, unable to calm down. What Jiang Jue said was too much of a shock to him.
Not only does he know some dark truths, he also knows the truth about Emperor Lu. Now he is considered a person who knows the biggest secret in the world, and he begins to feel a little dazed.
"Why did you tell me these earth-shattering secrets so easily?"
After a long time the butcher spoke again.
"Although I was born from darkness, I am not one of those fallen people who slaughtered all living things. I am who I am, and I have not lost myself. We have a common enemy, but it is not easy to completely eliminate the ominousness. We need more power to ensure absolute victory."
Jiang Jue said that apart from occupying the Dark World Tree, he was no different from other time travelers.
"I see. However, Daoyou said before that your path to becoming an emperor has already begun. Is that true?"
The next moment, the butcher spoke, his eyes fixed on Jiang Jue again, his face full of anticipation.
At the moment, he had no idea how to create his own way. After all, it was not easy to completely get rid of the laws of the fairyland and create his own way. For a cultivator, it was like walking on the same path as himself, and in front of him there was a person who created his own way. With the great way right beside him, how could he not be tempted.
"My true form is quite special. It is the incarnation of the World Tree. When darkness was born, I was bound by the shackles of darkness. Later, I broke free from the shackles and gave birth to light in the darkness. After that, I merged the two origins to evolve the initial prototype of the world and found my own path."
Jiang Jue spoke.
"Can you show me the Dao, fellow Daoist?"
The butcher spoke.
"Why not?"
The next moment, Jiang Jue activated his origin, and the world tree body appeared behind him. However, it was not as huge as it was during the battle. It was just two three-meter-high trees of darkness and light.
The two origins emitted waves, and at all times the origins flowed out and merged together to form the embryonic form of a world surrounded by mist, which manifested above the World Tree.
"The origin of the two world trees gave birth to the universe, and then used the world's utmost power to suppress the past and present. Is this the power that fellow Taoist used to fight against me before? It is really a way to defy the will of heaven."
Looking at the strong will emanating from the two thousand embryonic forms of the world, the butcher spoke. This is Jiang Jue's path to becoming an emperor, and it has already taken shape. Perhaps there really will be an emperor to be born in this world. If this were to be made public, it would really shock the heavens.
Seeing the Emperor's Road with his own eyes, the Butcher's entire soul trembled, but this was Jiang Jue's path, and it was most suitable for Jiang Jue. It was useless for him to learn it, but it had too much reference value.
"The will of the world and the ultimate strength are indeed supreme powers. However, it is too difficult to complete the final transformation. It takes a long time. The road to becoming an emperor is full of thorns and bumps. It is like walking in a wilderness. You need to take every step by yourself. Until now, I have not been able to sense the opportunity to become an emperor."
Jiang Jue spoke. Although his path to becoming an emperor has been formed now, like Shi Hao, he finds it difficult to sense the opportunity to become an emperor in the Immortal King realm. His accumulation is not deep enough, and even the glory of the emperor realm has not been nurtured.
In the original novel, Shi Hao had also deduced the subsequent methods when he was at the Immortal King realm.
However, even as a peak Immortal King at that time, he could hardly sense the opportunity to enter the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Realm. It was just that when he went to the Burial Domain, he was injured by the light of the Origin Ancient Artifact, and when he was in Nirvana, he was surrounded and killed by a group of ancient giants. He felt the opportunity of the Emperor Realm in the extreme, and then he forcibly pulled the nurtured God Spirit into his body to suppress the Dao injury, and finally stepped into that realm in one fell swoop. It was too dreamy to say.
Jiang Jue felt that he could not compare with a cheater.
With the current size of the world tree, it is difficult to support the many world wills that he has to bear when he steps into the emperor realm. It also needs to carry many vast worlds. It needs a larger size. It not only needs to support the galaxy, but also the heavens and all worlds. Therefore, the original body still needs the most critical transformation.
The two talked under the old tree in the ancient courtyard for a day and a night. At nightfall, the children around them were taken home by the adults of their respective families.
It was not until noon the next day that the hunting team from the village returned from the mountains with a large amount of prey.
"Xiao Bu Mie, ask your grandfather to gather all the tribesmen to the martial arts arena. I have something to tell you."
Suddenly, the butcher spoke to the dozen or so children lying on the low wall beside him.
"Yes! Grandpa, the first ancestor."
A clear child's voice was heard. Jiang Jue looked up and saw a child about six or seven years old. The child was very beautiful and had an outstanding temperament. He stood out among these extraordinary children.
His huge eyes were sparkling and his aura was terrifying even among his peers. Although this place was isolated from the outside world, the people here were as strong as those in the outside world. They could even establish a country. However, there were no so-called ancient artifacts, and everything related to the Heavenly Palace had been abandoned, because some tribesmen had used too many old artifacts from the Heavenly Palace, which caused ominous things and made people scared.
"To be able to achieve this level in such an environment, this child is very outstanding."
Jiang Jue spoke. This place was different from the immortal land in the outside world where the immortal matter was rich and the spiritual energy was almost transformed. It was a real place of destruction where nothing existed. It was the end of the law era. It was even worse than the environment in the Shrouding Heaven. After all, outside of here was a completely destroyed world.
"His name is Bumie, Tan Tai Bumie, which means the Tan Tai clan's determination to never bow to darkness. However, I still didn't dare to let him go out, fearing that he would die."
The butcher spoke. As descendants of the Emperor of Heaven, there are too many people here with extraordinary talents. If they were in the outside world, they would definitely be the sons of a great sect and the first-level geniuses. Unfortunately, the butcher did not dare to lead his people out of here, fearing that they would die inexplicably, and even fearing that it would bring disaster.
"It's the environment here that has delayed too many children, and I can't do anything about it."
The butcher spoke. He trusted Jiang Jue for the sake of the clan's future development. If the clan was trapped in this ruined world, it would slowly disappear in the long river of history. Only by giving it a try could they fight for a chance of survival. Otherwise, they could only wait until he entered the imperial realm to cut the causal line and save their clansmen from disaster.
However, now that he has just learned the truth about the Emperor Road, he cannot guarantee that he can break into the King Realm.
Creating a complete system is not an easy task. Several Heavenly Emperors worked together for many years to deduce the method of the Immortal Realm.
"Now, this may not be a bad thing. The path of cultivation is different from others. It is a way to go against the current. The saplings that rise from destruction may be more resilient."
Jiang Jue said, it would be a pity if he died of old age here, but if he got out, it would be like a trapped dragon escaping from danger, and it would definitely cause a storm.
After a long time, hundreds of people gathered in the small square in the center of the village. This place was usually used as a place for practicing martial arts, and now all the men, women, and children in the village were there.
"The First Ancestor is here, be quiet!"
"Meet the First Ancestor!"
"Hello, Grandpa, the First Ancestor."
The small square was very lively. After all, such gatherings could only be seen during grand festivals in the tribe.
"I have called you all together today to tell you that in three days, our tribe will be heading to the outside world. Please be prepared."
Without any hesitation, the butcher issued the notice directly, determined to give it a try.
"Oh...are we going to leave here? Can we take the little Tuanque with us?"
"Will he not come back in the future? Can I rob a bird's nest outside?"
Some children who didn't know the truth started chattering.
However, many adults and some elders were shocked but not afraid at all.
"Are we finally getting out of here?"
"No matter what difficulties we face, the heroic spirits of our ancestors will surely protect our tribe and help them get through it safely."
Some elders of the tribe mused in their hearts that they knew their identities and that they were hiding here to avoid the chaos. Too many people were unwilling to give in and had long wanted to go to the outside world, but they were afraid of bringing disaster to their tribe.
Three days later, time passed quickly and the square was once again filled with villagers, all looking at the two figures under the old tree in the ancient courtyard.
"Fellow Daoist, thank you for your help."
The butcher spoke.
"Don't worry about it. This is just paying back the old Emperor of Heaven."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Jue stood up and his astonishing Dharma image had already appeared in the world. Behind the crystal clear Dharma body, two ancient trees stood side by side, suppressing the entire world.
Countless great Dao true patterns spread out.
"Is this the distinguished guest?"
"Oh my god... a god, this is a god, the first ancestor brought back a god!"
The members of the Wenren and Tantai lines did not know how powerful their ancestor was. The butcher had never attacked them before, but now Jiang Jue's stunning appearance shocked them.
Perhaps, only the gods recorded in the elders' records have such great power.
Jiang Jue raised his hand, and the embryonic forms of the world on the world tree behind him emitted pulsations. The world's will directly isolated all time and space, and countless true patterns descended on the square and enveloped the people of the two clans.
Jiang Jue couldn't cut off that line of cause and effect, after all, he was not yet a quasi-Immortal Emperor. However, he was using the world's greatest power and will to isolate and conceal the secrets of these people, just like Xuanbu Old Turtle's method of concealing the secrets.
"Daoyou, did you succeed?"
The butcher asked in the void.
Jiang Jue nodded, and the next moment, his stunning Dharma image, which was standing in the chaos, was fully unfolded.
He raised his hand and the secret art of time and space gathered everything, severing the connection between the entire secret realm and the destroyed world. A roar came from the entire secret realm that the butcher had moved here. He wanted to take this secret realm away as well.
“What a power this is.”
"Oh my God, the gods are angry. The gods are angry. What should I do?"
The people from the two major clans were terrified and their faces were pale. If the ancestor had not been still there, they would have surely exploded and fled for their lives. Not only their village but also the entire wilderness was slowly rising into the air.
The power of the gods has overturned their understanding of spiritual practice.
In just a few breaths, Jiang Jue had grasped this small secret realm in his hands.
"Let's go back to my primitive ancient world first, and then we'll make plans."
Jiang Jue spoke.
"Fellow Daoist Qingjue, come with me. I have built a teleportation altar in another ancient domain that can reach the border of the fairyland and the boundary sea."
The butcher said that it is not easy to leave this ruined world.
Although Jiang Jue stopped and walked at the beginning, he is now quite far away from the fairyland. Even if he travels at full speed, it may take some time.
This period of time is indeed not long for the Immortal King, but it can definitely be measured in hundreds of years.
Afterwards, under the guidance of the butcher, the two headed straight for another large world.
And at this moment, in the primitive ancient world.
The tens of thousands of years since Jiang Jue left seemed to be the quietest years.
However, there have been rumors recently that someone saw an ancient door filled with chaotic energy in the secret realm.
It was a gate that stood in the void, appearing from time to time, as if it had its own consciousness, and had been wandering around other ancient domains. When it appeared, the chaotic energy rolled, and from time to time, immortal light shone from behind the gate. There were even rumors that as long as you stepped into the gate, you could become an immortal. For a while, some creatures of the ancient domains were eager to find out what was going on.
