Pangu's Ascension Shakes the Heavens
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a series of rumbling sounds came from within the thick, dark clouds.
Within, lightning flashed and thunder roared, each bolt of lightning as massive as a mountain, constantly exploding within the thick clouds, shaking heaven and earth. Boundless waves surged from the sea, and towering tornadoes stirred the turbulent waters, engulfing an area of tens of thousands of miles.
In an instant, lightning flashed and thunder roared within, and waves swept across the heavens and earth, as if the end of the world had arrived.
At the same time, an invisible force quietly gathered, converging from every corner of the world towards the depths of the sea.
The Heavenly Court trembled, and the Underworld shook.
The Heavenly Court, the Hall of High Heaven.
Suddenly, the Hall of High Heaven trembled violently, causing the immortals to sway and lose their footing. Some even fell into a heap due to the unexpected turn of events.
Ouch.
"What happened?"
"Why is this happening? Could it be that something has changed in the world?"
The immortals slowly steadied themselves in the swaying palace, each making their own guesses with surprise and uncertainty.
The Jade Emperor frowned, but showed no sign of panic.
He has ruled the world for countless years, and has experienced all kinds of upheavals.
The Jade Emperor calmly said, "Where are the Thousand-Mile Eye and the Wind-Following Ear? Quickly investigate what changes have occurred in the mortal realm."
As soon as the Jade Emperor finished speaking, two strangely shaped immortals appeared inside the Hall of High Heaven.
"We have investigated and found that an anomaly has occurred in the desolate wilderness on the edge of the South Sea, with a colossal demon emerging out of nowhere. Its aura is so powerful that it shakes the heavens and earth, piercing through the heavens and even shaking the Netherworld. It is the very culprit that caused the Hall of High Heaven to tremble."
"What? Such a monstrous talent has appeared in the mortal realm?"
"Unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable!"
The immortals discussed among themselves, quite surprised.
The Heavenly Court is so far removed from the mortal realm, further hindered by the boundary between heaven and man. For a powerful mortal to be able to alarm the Hall of High Heaven with just their aura is something that has never happened before.
The human world is now desolate and turbulent; when did such a peerless prodigy appear?
The Jade Emperor said calmly, "The mortal realm and the Heavenly Court are connected. This demon is able to shake the Hall of High Heaven with its aura, which makes it an exceptionally rare spiritual creature."
Although this demon's appearance was not intended to alarm the Heavenly Court or disturb the immortals, the Heavenly Laws do not tolerate human sentiment.
Legend has it that the Thunder Lord Lightning Mother issued a warning with thunder and lightning.
The immortals felt a chill in their hearts.
This demon has not yet been born, and the warning from the Thunder Lord God and Lightning Mother might ruin its cultivation.
The Jade Emperor showed no anger in his speech, but his methods...
All the immortals bowed their heads respectfully and said, "The Jade Emperor is merciful."
The Thunder Lord, the Lightning Mother, and others stepped forward from the crowd, saying solemnly, "Your subject obeys."
"Boom!"
At that moment, the once peaceful Hall of High Heaven trembled violently once more.
This time, not only did the entire Hall of High Heaven tremble, but the magnificent palace also creaked as if it were about to shatter.
In an instant, all the immortals' expressions changed drastically, and no one could remain calm anymore.
The Hall of High Heaven was not built by human hands, but is a manifestation of the foundation of the Three Realms. It symbolizes the Heavenly Dao of this world and the majesty of the Heavenly Court, and can be called the most powerful treasure in the world.
But at this moment, the Hall of High Heaven showed signs of collapse, which shocked all the immortals.
This indicates that the foundation of the world has been damaged, and the Way of Heaven has been impacted!
"Zha!"
Before everyone could figure out what had happened, a shout that pierced the heavens suddenly rang out.
That shout possessed a very profound power; all the immortals who heard it felt dizzy and lightheaded, and some of the less powerful immortals even fainted on the spot.
In an instant, the Hall of High Heaven was thrown into chaos.
"Thousand-Mile Eye, Wind-Following Ear."
The Jade Emperor's expression turned ugly, and he had lost his previous composure.
Even those with Thousand-Mile Eye and Wind-Following Ear understood the seriousness of the problem and hurriedly looked towards the human world.
When the Thousand-Mile Eye saw the changes in the South Sea, it was immediately dumbfounded.
A phantom figure!
Its height reaches to the heavens and its depths extend to the earth; its head touches the heavens and its feet tread upon the netherworld!
No one could describe the sheer size of that figure, nor could anyone describe its power. Thousand-Mile Eye, after just one glance, felt as if his eyes had been struck a heavy blow, nearly shattered.
He let out a painful howl, covered his eyes with his hands, and rolled on the ground, blood trickling down between his fingers.
The immortals were awakened by the wailing of the Thousand-Mile Eye.
They looked at each other, somewhat at a loss, as they watched the suffering Thousand-Mile Eye.
What exactly happened?
South Sea.
Li Hao on the island, silently gazing up at the towering Pangu Essence, with only one feeling in his heart.
Big!
It's too big!
Li Hao once manifested the Ancestral Witch True Form, which was comparable to half of the Earth.
But now he realized that compared to the Pangu Essence, his former manifestation as the Ancestral Witch True Form was utterly insignificant.
Pangu was so great that his shoulders reached the heavens and his feet trod on the netherworld.
Li Hao inwardly praised him for a moment, then turned to observe the cultivation progress of the God-Summoning Scripture.
The God-Summoning Scripture has six levels.
First stage: Awaken the power of the bloodline within the body and condense the Pangu Essence within the bloodline.
When the bloodline is activated, supernatural powers naturally arise.
The second stage: Condensing the Pangu Dharma Form, guiding one's own Pangu Essence to manifest the Pangu Dharma Form outside the body. Although this Dharma Image has no offensive capabilities and is not under the control of the caster, it can automatically condense the Pangu Essence between heaven and earth, increasing one's cultivation speed and refining the purity of one's bloodline.
The third stage: Transformation from the mortal realm.
By borrowing the power of Pangu Essence, one can shed their mortal body and reach the realm of an immortal True Immortal.
Fourth Layer: Demon God.
The Pangu Essence is condensed into Demon God Armament, forged into an incomparably powerful humanoid super magic weapon, and then gathered from the scattered Pangu Essence Heavens and Myriad Worlds to enhance the Great Demon God weapon.
Li Hao's current realm is that of Fourth Layer demon god.
Fifth level: Creation of Heaven.
This realm is far beyond Li Hao's current reach; it already belongs to the realm of Golden Immortals and Great Luo Immortals.
Li Hao sensed the power of the Demon God Armament and felt that he could shatter the heavens and destroy the Netherworld with just a thought.
"This feeling is truly addictive."
Li Hao took a deep breath, his face full of smiles.
Through this training, his skills improved significantly. Most importantly, the training of the God-Summoning Scripture showed Li Hao a path to sustainable growth.
Now he only needs to cultivate step by step to reach a higher level.
In a good mood, Li Hao said, "When can we have another Chat Group?"
Chat Group: "If the group owner wants to destroy this world, they can do it again anytime."
Li Hao was completely dumbfounded.
He hurriedly asked, "Wait, what do you mean by destroying the world?"
Chat Group: "In order to help the group owner condense the Pangu Essence, the foundation of this world has been greatly damaged. If the group owner continues to cultivate the <God-Summoning Scripture> in this world, this world will be destroyed due to the great loss of its origin, and will re-evolve into chaos."
Li Hao was speechless.
Is this really that exaggerated?
At the same time, he finally understood why the Chat Group said that practicing <God-Summoning Scripture> would make one an enemy of the world.
Chat Group: "The group owner doesn't need to feel apologetic for this. Although the foundation of this world has been temporarily damaged, it will only take some time for the Heavenly Dao to attract the Pangu Essence in the void to restore it."
Li Hao pondered, "So, every time I condense the Pangu Essence, it causes enormous damage to that world?"
Chat Group: "Yes."
Li Hao rubbed his chin, lost in thought.
No wonder it's an enemy of the world; how could it not be an enemy of the world if it seized the world's origin Fortune power to strengthen itself?
Li Hao narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Wait, my cultivation requires too much Pangu Essence, which has damaged the foundation of the world. If I infinitely reduce my cultivation efficiency, is it possible to absorb Pangu Essence without affecting the current world?"
Chat Group: "The group owner's cultivation has reached the limit that this world can contain, and because it is the first time that he has condensed the Pangu Essence, it has caused a huge impact."
If the group leader's cultivation speed slows down and aligns with the world's self-repair mechanism, it will indeed not affect the world's fundamental operation.
But such a speed is meaningless to the group owner; it might take a thousand years, or even ten thousand years, to reach the current level."
Li Hao narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled.
That's enough.
Besides, I never said I wanted to cultivate myself.
Li Hao stared at the introduction to the second level of <God-Summoning Scripture>.
Condensing the Pangu Dharma Form!
The Pangu Essence!
Why not just sow some seeds and let them grow freely?
Chat Group: "According to the Chat Group's calculations, the group leader's idea is feasible. Using the power of all living beings to condense the Pangu Essence will not affect the foundation of the world. Developing and perfecting the method requires 20,000 points. Shall we begin developing a more suitable dungeon technique now?"
Dungeon Techniques!
Li Hao raised an eyebrow, showing interest.
Li Hao: "Duplicate cultivation technique, what do you mean?"
Chat Group: "Based on all living beings and nourished by heaven and earth, we condense the Pangu Essence."
The group owner can use the <God-Summoning Scripture> to devour the Pangu Essence gathered by all living beings in the world, without affecting any living beings.
Li Hao was somewhat surprised, but mostly delighted.
"Agreed. Begin deducing the duplicate technique."
Chat Group: "Starting to deduce the dungeon's cultivation technique. The deduction will take one hour."
Li Hao looked at the countdown display on the simulation interface, feeling quite pleased.
Brilliant!
Well, the deduction still takes an hour anyway, so I'll go find Zhu Yuyan and the others first. I wonder if they've left yet.
Chat Group.
Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap! Something terrible has happened, something terrible has happened!"
Li Xunhuan: "Brother Gu, you!?"
Chen Nan: "What's wrong?"
Little Fairy Yan Lingji: "Waaah, what happened to Gu Santong? Was he castrated?"
Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "Who knows what happened?"
Zhu Yuyan and I were just on our way to the Myriad Nations Dao Debate Conference hosted by the Ten Thousand Fox Demon King when suddenly the earth shook violently, as if it were the end of the world.
And for some reason, I felt incredibly depressed.
That feeling, that feeling is completely indescribable, it's like the world is about to end, and there's no escape—that feeling of despair.
Angel Yan's expression was strange.
Something has changed in the world of Journey to the West!?
Wait, could it be the group admin?
Others may not know, but Angel Yan does know Li Hao's purpose in going to the Journey to the West world.
Omniscient Li: "Gu Santong, are you going to attend the Daoist Conference?"
