Immortal Ascension! The God Kingdoms Unite! A Hard Clash Against a Cosmic Venerable
After getting fully equipped with security gear, Tang Ping finalized an express delivery order on his virtual terminal.
Immediately afterwards, with a thought, he instructed the Cloud-Touching Vine to release a million strands of Divine Power as fine as silk.
These Divine Power were precisely attached to a million leaves that had been prepared beforehand. After doing all this, Tang Ping entered all of these special "tokens" into the mailing list, with destinations spanning every corner of Human Territory.
Express delivery, limited to six months.
Within six months, these leaves will arrive at the designated location one after another. He had already purchased a special storage place for each leaf in advance.
With these "coordinates" scattered throughout the territory, wherever one wishes to go in the future, one can arrive instantly by simply using the God Kingdom Teleportation ability of the Cloud-Touching Vine, without having to spend countless years traveling through the starry sky.
As for why we don't use our own God Kingdom? Hehe, those who know, know!
With all preparations complete, Tang Ping didn't delay any longer. He boarded the specially designed ship and sailed away from the Coin Continent. This was a human-controlled area, so Teleportation wasn't allowed. Otherwise, if someone used teleportation to smuggle explosives in, wouldn't they be instantly killed?
The instant the ship sailed out of the warning range, Tang Ping's figure blurred, and he used Teleportation to cross ten light-years in one step.
Then, he teleported several times in Teleportation, and in an instant, he completely disappeared from the sight of those who were watching him.
The Primal Universe was vast and boundless. Compared to those bustling and noisy star fields, most areas were a desolate void. Take the area surrounding the Ganwu Universe Kingdom, for example; there was a circular blank zone with a diameter of tens of millions of light-years.
Of course, these seemingly desolate areas may not be without hidden secrets. Perhaps in some deep void, there lies a secret realm capable of nurturing strange life, giving birth to Heavy Treasure, or even Supreme Treasure.
This is why countless adventurers in the universe are willing to risk their lives to explore the void. Once they discover a habitable planet, a mineral vein containing rare minerals, or a special, long-forgotten secret realm, it can become an astonishing fortune that can be passed down through generations.
Unfortunately, the vast majority of explorers met their end by getting lost in the vast, empty wilderness, running out of supplies, and ultimately dying quietly in despair.
Tang Ping Teleportation aimlessly for more than half a month, occasionally piloting a starship and randomly choosing a direction to fly through the Dark Universe.
He would sometimes leap out of the Dark Universe, Teleportation several times, and then dive back into the Dark Universe to continue his journey. After repeating this process repeatedly, even he himself didn't know which corner of the Primal Universe he was currently in.
"This is the place we've chosen." Tang Ping murmured. The location of the God Kingdom should ideally be as remote and unpredictable as possible.
Before he finished speaking, he made a single sweeping motion in the air with one hand.
"Rip~"
A piercing sound of space tearing rang out, and the void before him was forcibly ripped open like a piece of cloth. Tang Ping stepped in and instantly entered the Space Interlayer.
The Space Interlayer are far more complex than they appear on the surface; they are layered upon layered, numbering in the millions.
The first layer consists of Space Fragment everywhere;
The second layer is the Divine Kingdom Layer, which is the preferred place for the vast majority of Immortal God to settle their God Kingdom;
The third layer is the Space Torrent Layer, which is far more dangerous than the first two layers.
However, this method of division is merely a standard set by Ordinary Immortal for ease of understanding. In the eyes of truly super-strong beings, the Space Interlayer is an incomparably vast whole.
The closer one gets to the Primal Universe, the smaller the size of the Space Fragment; the deeper one goes into the interlayer, the larger the scale of the Space Fragment.
And along with the increasing depth comes an ever-growing danger.
In the outermost areas, even realm lords can barely survive; but the deeper one goes, the more terrifying the danger becomes. In some places, even Cosmic Venerable cannot escape the fate of perishing.
"Whoosh!"
Tang Ping flashed, using several teleportations in Teleportation, directly passing through the Divine Kingdom Layer and plunging into the Space Torrent Layer. Immediately afterwards, he spread his Wind-Thunder Wings, the power of laws surging, transforming into a stream of Flowing Light, and flew swiftly towards the deeper part of the interlayer.
The Divine Kingdom Layer? That's a place where only ordinary immortals reside.
Those truly super beings might place their God Kingdom in the Divine Kingdom Layer when they first break through to immortality. However, as their strength continues to increase, they often choose to relocate their God Kingdom, moving them step by step into the depths of the Space Torrent Layer.
After all, the deeper you go, the safer you are.
When it comes to escape techniques, Tang Ping believes he is second to none. With the combined effects of Time Acceleration and Teleportation, his speed is extremely fast, transforming him into a blurry streak of light, moving freely through the surging Space Torrent.
"The Space Fragment are getting bigger and bigger." Tang Ping glanced around and was secretly amazed.
Looking around, the floating Space Fragment are colossal objects with diameters of tens of billions of kilometers. Some of these fragments have even given birth to land and ocean, forming their own little worlds.
These enormous Space Fragment are all traveling at high speeds, and the force of their collision is devastating. If someone were to be struck head-on by a fragment with a diameter of hundreds of billions of kilometers, even King-Rank Immortal would likely be instantly annihilated, leaving not a trace.
Sensing the intensity of the surrounding space, Tang Ping nodded in satisfaction. "This is it."
He randomly selected a massive Space Fragment and then ordered Cloud-Touching Vine: "Establish God Kingdom here."
The next moment, an invisible energy fluctuation suddenly surged from within Cloud-Touching Vine's Internal World, like a large net, instantly locking onto the huge Space Fragment in the distance.
"Phew~"
In mid-air, a vague, Illusory World slowly emerged, as if it existed in another dimension. It seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, slowly flying towards that Space Fragment.
One illusory, one real, the two colossal entities slowly converged in the Space Torrent.
"Boom!"
A deafening roar resounded, the surrounding space trembled violently, and nearby Space Fragment seemed to sense the terrifying pressure, all giving way.
That illusory world, like a drop of water merging into the ocean, gradually merged with the enormous Space Fragment.
The originally ethereal outline gradually became solid, the illusory light and shadow faded, revealing the real land, mountains, and rivers.
A moment later, that Illusory World vanished completely, replaced by an incredibly real world radiating boundless divine power.
That is the God Kingdom of the Cloud-Touching Vine!
"Whoosh!"
Tang Ping took a step forward and instantly Teleportation into the God Kingdom.
The God Kingdom is vast and boundless, its divine power permeating all directions, and its peripheral areas are expanding outwards at a visible speed.
At this moment, within the God Kingdom, apart from the abundant Divine Power, there was only emptiness, devoid of any living beings or buildings.
Without its master's command, the Cloud-Touching Vine will never act rashly.
After all, if you don't do anything, you'll never make a mistake!
Tang Ping summoned the Cloud-Touching Vine and let her build her God Kingdom according to her own preferences. Then, he casually found a place and left a wisp of his Immortal Divine Power as a mark.
Having done all this, he flickered and Teleportation away from the God Kingdom once more, flying deeper into the Space Interlayer.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Tang Ping accelerated continuously, dodging the rapidly passing Space Fragment as he advanced deeper into the area. Finally, he stopped in a region filled with turbulent spatial currents.
Before our eyes, a massive fragment with a diameter of hundreds of billions of kilometers was suspended!
Although his current God Kingdom is only tens of millions of kilometers in size, every man has to have dreams. The current insignificance is nothing; he can expand it slowly in the future. He looks forward to the day when his God Kingdom expands to its maximum size, it will be able to accommodate his enormous Nether Sea Clone.
At that time, the Netherworld Avatar, possessing a divine body Nether Sea Clone hundreds of millions of kilometers, will be stationed in the God Kingdom, Control of Space-Time. Even if Cosmic Venerable were to invade, he would not be able to easily break through the impregnable barrier of this God Kingdom!
Just like the process by which Cloud-Touching Vine constructed his God Kingdom, Tang Ping merged his own World Lord World with the selected Space Fragment.
In an instant, a vast and boundless aura swept out, and a boundless world was formed in this Space Interlayer.
"Whoosh!"
Tang Ping flashed and Teleportation teleported inside.
He hovered in mid-air above the God Kingdom, slowly closed his eyes, stretched out his arms, and seemed to merge with this newly born world.
A strange, indescribable feeling welled up inside me.
At this moment, he is the God Kingdom, and the God Kingdom is him.
Every blade of grass, every tree, every grain of sand, and every stone within the God Kingdom was reflected in his consciousness. Every flow of Divine Power and every tremor of space could not escape his perception.
"Mountains!"
"Grassland!"
"Swamp!"
"Desert!"
As thoughts shifted, the God Kingdom changed in an instant: towering mountains rose from the ground, vast grasslands stretched for thousands of miles, muddy swamps concealed dangers, and endless deserts were filled with yellow sand.
The moment the God Kingdom completely merged with him, Tang Ping clearly felt that his strength had increased several times over.
With the blessing of this God Kingdom, and with his current combat power, even if Cosmic Venerable were to personally come, they would not be able to easily defeat him!
Tang Ping, however, had little interest in meticulously crafting this world.
Looking across the universe, most Immortal God make little progress even after millions of years, so they focus their efforts on managing their God Kingdom, cultivating exotic flowers and plants, raising rare and exotic beasts, and even capturing Special Lifeform to serve as slaves.
Although this kind of livelihood brings in money slowly, it also grants an immortal lifespan, and over time, one can accumulate considerable wealth.
Some immortals are simply tired of a peaceful life and spend their days traversing secret realms and Outer Battlefield, risking their lives to comprehend the true meaning of the laws, or seeking out Heavy Treasure Supreme Treasure order to reach even greater heights.
But none of this was necessary for Tang Ping.
After all, even if he spent tens of thousands of epochs painstakingly building his God Kingdom, the wealth he would have earned would probably not even be one-thousandth of his current net worth. His primary goal has always been to increase his Gene Multiplier, comprehend the Space-Time Laws, and break through to a higher realm as soon as possible.
Let this God Kingdom expand and evolve on its own for now.
Of course, Tang Ping did not completely abandon the situation.
He left a wisp of his consciousness to guard this place. This wisp of consciousness was only condensed with a little Divine Power and consciousness imprint, and did not have much combat power, but it had two major functions: first, to control the autonomous expansion of the God Kingdom, and second, to send a message and warning immediately in the event of an invasion by foreign enemies, so that he could rush back in time to prevent any unforeseen events.
After finishing all this, Tang Ping activated the God Kingdom Teleportation, instantly arriving at Cloud-Touching Vine's God Kingdom.
After a brief pause, he used the God Kingdom Teleportation again, heading straight to the Universal God Kingdom Teleportation Area outside the Cosmic Galaxy Milky Way Headquarters.
Each teleportation node here is protected by strict barriers, completely isolating it from any spatial or temporal fluctuations, making its confidentiality top-notch. However, enjoying this convenience comes at a price: a management fee of 10 Hunyuan is required every hundred years.
If you don't want to pay, you can leave your Divine Power imprint in a void far from headquarters. The premise is that you're not afraid of exposing your God Kingdom's coordinates and attracting death.
Stepping onto the headquarters grounds, Tang Ping suddenly felt somewhat lost.
Having suddenly achieved immortality and gained eternal life, he was at a loss for what to do.
Cultivation? I'm not interested in that right now.
Spending money? With a net worth of hundreds of Hunyuan, there doesn't seem to be anything urgently needed to be purchased.
According to the original plan, I should have gone to the Initial Universe for secluded cultivation, but after careful consideration, it seems there's no rush.
Um?
Oh, right!
Breaking through to immortality is such a big deal, how could I not show off to my brothers?
Thinking of this, Tang Ping's eyes lit up, and his mood instantly improved.
He found a tastefully decorated, legitimate "entertainment venue" outside the headquarters, found a window seat, and sat down. While listening to melodious music to soothe his mind, he sent a group message to a bunch of friends in the Virtual Universe:
@Luo Feng Thunder God @Hong @Wind Wind-Thunder Venerable @Liu Hui "Brothers, I've broken through to immortality! I'll live forever, immortal and indestructible! Not to mention, I stepped into immortality with one foot and was directly King Rank! My soul and divine Divine Power are united; from this day forward, I can roam freely among all races of the universe! Hurry up and come to pay homage!"
After sending the message, Tang Ping happily held his teacup, waiting for everyone to praise him. But after waiting for a long time, the virtual terminal remained silent, without even a single reply.
Tang Ping was somewhat puzzled.
The others are either in seclusion cultivating or adventuring in distant lands, so it's normal that they haven't seen any news. But why hasn't my good brother Liu Hui made a move either?
Oh, right!
He suddenly remembered that he had previously bought the Immortal Ascension Package worth 1 billion Hunyuan for Liu Hui's family of three. With this in mind, Tang Ping immediately opened the order details to check the real-time progress of the package.
I must say, spending that billion Hunyuan was definitely worthwhile. The service was incredibly attentive, and he could even view the real-time images of the package recipients from every angle through the order backend.
In the scene, Feng Yaya, Huo Wu, and Luo Xiaoyu are in good condition. Having previously used a secret treasure to enhance their talents, the three, who were already quite gifted, are now receiving daily guidance from King Level expert or studying the laws on their own, making rapid progress.
Once he has honed his potential to its fullest potential, he will head to Chaos City to attempt to achieve immortality.
Then look at Liu Hui's family, and the three little Tang An siblings—they're in a really bad situation.
As soon as Liu Hui and his family of three entered the headquarters, they were separated and detained.
Everyone received enough cultivation resources to directly advance to the ninth level of the Realm Lord. Before they could even rejoice, hellish torment followed. Liu Hui had endless hard labor every day. If he took a break even slightly, he would be punched and kicked. The worst time, his leg bone was broken, but he was still dragged up and forced to continue working.
Of course, the rules are not entirely inhumane. As long as Law Comprehension, their workload can be reduced; those with outstanding performance can even be transformed into "supervisors" who oversee the work of others.
As for Liu Hui's wife and daughter, their treatment was slightly better; they didn't have to do hard labor, but they had endless official paperwork to deal with. If they failed the assessment, the punishment was to watch helplessly as Liu Hui was beaten.
Liu Hui: "----"
Seeing Liu Hui's tearful expression on the screen, Tang Ping was so angry he almost laughed himself sick.
He had no intention of intervening. After all, the package details clearly stated that such rigorous training was to temper their will. Various "unexpected opportunities" would be arranged later, allowing them to obtain treasures that could improve their aptitude. Only by experiencing such hardships would they learn to cherish the hard-won opportunities.
Sigh, I hope my good brother can hold on!
Gaa gaa gaa!
Tang Ping was overjoyed and instructed the Smart Assistant Little Love to record and archive all the scenes of Liu Hui's suffering before turning his attention to his three children.
Upon seeing the result, Tang Ping was immediately surprised.
The three siblings, Tang An, Tang Yiyi, and Tang Guo, were all alone in a gloomy and terrifying black Divine Temple. The surrounding area was filled with demonic energy and was bitterly cold, but the three children sat cross-legged, their expressions focused, cultivating with unparalleled concentration.
This isn't right!
Tang Ping knew his children too well. These three little guys, like most people in the world, were typical "intermittent hard-working personalities," working hard for three days and resting for two, relying entirely on a whim.
Take himself as an example. If he hadn't been exceptionally talented and had an extraordinary talent, he would probably only have reached the Universe Level of cultivation by now. And that would be thanks to the rise of the Luo Family, the kind of person who made a fortune by speculating in stocks.
Tang Ping quickly reviewed the historical video recordings and finally understood the cause and effect.
It turned out that the three siblings were assigned to the same group when they first joined headquarters. Although the daily tasks were heavy, the treatment was quite good, and the three of them did a good job, steadily improving their skills.
The unexpected happened on a certain day.
A strange man dressed in a black robe with a ferocious face suddenly appeared at their training ground and, without saying a word, began to kill them.
In the face of life and death, in the eyes of one of the children, the other two siblings stepped forward and desperately blocked the man in black, shouting for him to quickly go to their father for help or go to the higher-ups at the Galaxy Headquarters for rescue.
As expected, the two children were "seriously injured" on the spot, and the only one left was captured alive by the men in black.
At first, the captured children were full of hope, believing that their father was all-powerful and had all the connections in the world, and that he would rescue them sooner or later.
But when the man in black produced a video, it showed Tang Ping and his three wives had been captured, and Qiao was being interrogated about the Tang Family's secrets and was about to be executed.
The child's spirit collapsed instantly, and he felt utterly hopeless.
Tang Yiyi even asked the man in black, numbly, "Since you already know the Tang Family's secret, why don't you just kill us?"
The man in black let out a Jie-Jie Monster, his voice chilling and piercing. "This is the method by which my Soul Hall cultivates geniuses: severing all emotions and love, using hatred as fuel and pain as fire, so that they can ignite the motivation for cultivation!"
If you have the ability, then cultivate diligently. If you can surpass me one day, then come and take your revenge! My Soul Hall needs geniuses who can rise from the ashes!
Tang Yiyi immediately cursed him as Madman.
The man in black laughed even more cruelly, "Madman? If you were trapped in a realm for millions, tens of millions, or even billions of years without making any progress, you would go mad too!"
These words left Tang Yiyi completely silent.
She secluded herself for a whole month, and then she became a completely different person. She cultivated frantically with the massive resources provided by the Soul Hall, and she participated in even the most dangerous life-or-death trials without ever getting tired.
Tang An's experience was exactly the same; he too was reborn from despair, igniting his fighting spirit for ascetic practice.
Tang Guo, who has always been an optimist, was depressed for a long time and couldn't get over it.
Until one day, she accidentally discovered a hidden mechanism in a corner of the Divine Temple, where an old man with white hair and beard was hiding. She also received a cultivation buff from the opposing force, which rekindled her courage to fight.
Good heavens!
Upon seeing this, Tang Ping couldn't help but inwardly exclaim, "Professional!" This package deal perfectly captured the essence of human nature.
The only thing that pained him was that the children had indeed suffered a lot.
Alas, the hearts of parents are always full of love and worry.
Tang Ping sighed softly, silently cheering on the children in his heart.
I hope they can get out of this slump soon and carve out their own path on this thorny road of cultivation!
Come on!
As for how the pain of the low point came about, that's none of your business!
