Chapter 410
This female figure was none other than the envoy who patrolled a star field in the universe, and the representative of the Heavenly Realm in governing the vast universe: the World Patrol Order!
Fang Nan went to the Five Directions One Realm with a mission.
Fang Nan pondered in his heart.
Not long ago, news came that this world was on the verge of Epochal Annihilation, at which time the source of the world would become ownerless.
If she were to collect this source of power and offer it to the Cangming Department Master Immortal Lord, she might be transferred back to the Longevity Heaven Realm. Therefore, she had no choice but to make the trip herself.
After all, there are many immortals who have encountered the source of the world, or even the lords of great worlds. If she doesn't come in person, those World Lords and true immortals might not give her face.
Whoosh~
Suddenly, Fang Nan stopped in her tracks, her brows furrowing.
She saw a beautiful yet eerie scene—
The once calm and dark universe suddenly erupted into a raging storm, with endless chaos churning and boiling, bursts of violent lightning exploding, countless stars annihilated into ashes, and even the void itself was shattered!
She could sense this situation very clearly, even from a great distance.
What happened?
Fang Nan frowned, looking at the scene with a horrifying expression.
"Is someone undergoing tribulation?"
The next moment.
Her pupils contracted sharply, her face filled with utter shock, and she cried out, "Impossible!"
Rumble~~~
As soon as Fang Nan finished speaking, he suddenly saw a dazzling silver-white sword beam tearing through the sky in the core area of the endless starry river, where the vast thunder raged.
Sizzle~
The sword light was so dazzling that it emitted a piercing shriek in the darkness and void, illuminating the entire void.
Within this sword light, a woman suddenly appeared.
The woman was surrounded by dazzling starlight, her eyes were cold and her temperament was otherworldly. Her scarlet dress fluttered in the wind, as if she had fallen from the heavens to the mortal world!
With a single sword strike, she shattered the endless lightning of the immortal Immortal Tribulation wherever her sword's light reached!
This sword strike was too domineering; it was practically indestructible!
"How is that possible?!"
Fang Nan's eyes widened, her face filled with horror.
The terrifying Immortal Tribulation before them was clearly not an ordinary tribulation, but rather several Immortal Tribulation superimposed upon each other, descending all at once.
It is not uncommon for someone to pass through multiple Immortal Tribulation in one go, but this usually happens when their cultivation level is relatively low.
But she could clearly sense that there were probably dozens of layers of these tribulation lightning bolts!
With such a massive amount of tribulation light and lightning stacked together, even a Celestial Lord would have to avoid it, let alone a True Immortal undergoing tribulation!
However, this woman managed to shatter all the lightning with a single sword strike?
This completely overturned Fang Nan's understanding!
However, even more shocking things continued to happen before her eyes.
Then I saw it.
In the depths of space, beams of crimson lightning shot out, each a hundred feet thick, like thunder dragons, twisting and roaring menacingly, covering the sky and engulfing the woman.
At a glance, there were hundreds of bolts of lightning filling the sky!
What power and might!
Fang Nan felt a chill run down her spine!
The True Immortal Tribulation, the Immortal Lord Tribulation, and the Immortal King Tribulation are not the same. The True Immortal Tribulation has a purple light, the Immortal Lord Tribulation has a red light, and the Immortal King Tribulation has a golden light.
She knew that if those hundreds of beams of immortal tribulation light were to fall upon her, she would likely be reduced to ashes in an instant!
However.
The woman's clothes fluttered, her eyes were cold and ruthless. Bathed in starlight, she held her long sword and swung it again. The sword light surged and crisscrossed, as if it could shred the entirety of time and space!
With a resounding clang, hundreds of crimson beams of light collapsed and vanished completely.
Such a powerful strike almost annihilated that void.
But the woman seemed unconcerned, and took another step forward. The long sword in her hand shone with billions of starlight, like a sun sweeping across the heavens.
Click, click!
The last remaining glimmer of light was also completely swept away and vanished without a trace!
"So strong!"
"Who is this person?!"
In the distance, Fang Nan gasped, feeling a chill run down her spine.
The mysterious woman before them had transcended the Hundred Tribulations True Immortal realm in one fell swoop, reaching the Immortal Lord level.
She vaguely recalled that the mysterious woman had just shattered four hundred and five Immortal Lord Tribulation Lights in one go. Even Thousand Tribulation Immortal Lord at the Great Perfection of the Immortal Lord realm would find it difficult to achieve such strength!
"Such a figure actually exists in the Cangming Star Domain..."
Fang Nan's eyes flickered, and after a moment of thought, her mind suddenly became active.
"If we could win this person over and recommend him to the Longevity Heavenly Venerable, it would be a great achievement, and we wouldn't need to pray to the Cangming Department Master Immortal Lord..."
Her relationship with Cangming Department Master Immortal Lord was never particularly good, otherwise she wouldn't have thought of offering him a gift.
It's all to resolve past conflicts.
Just as she was pondering...
After Xiao Minghuang completed her tribulation, all the scattered Tribulation Extinguishing Divine Light was absorbed into her body.
At this moment, her strength has been greatly enhanced, advancing from the level of a 450th Tribulation Immortal Lord to the level equivalent to Five Hundred Tribulation Immortal Lord!
Such an opportunity is like soaring to the heavens, a meteoric rise to immortality!
It should be understood that for ordinary cultivators to transcend from mortal to immortal, it is considered quite good if they can survive several tribulations.
Furthermore, to get through this safely, one would need to expend a great deal of resources, or even use some rare treasures from the heavens, to ensure their safety.
After that, if one wants to break through, each advancement requires tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years of accumulation; otherwise, it is simply impossible to make any progress.
Yet she was able to transcend hundreds of tribulations in a single step and directly enter the realm of Immortal Lord!
While this benefited from the support of the origins of the three great worlds of Zhongji, Yuming, and Xuanjin, it was primarily due to her single-handedly creating a Supreme Great Dao.
No one understands this great road better than her, and thus, in the shortest amount of time, she has accumulated the greatest total amount of change!
The next moment.
Xiao Minghuang turned her gaze and it fell on the deep hole in the distance.
"Now that you have arrived, why have you been hiding and delaying your appearance?"
Her expression was indifferent; she parted her cherry lips slightly, her tone calm and aloof, revealing no emotion.
The words had barely left his mouth.
A figure in a white dress appeared from the void, cupped her hands in greeting to Xiao Minghuang, and said politely, "I am Fang Nan. I was passing by when I happened to encounter you undergoing your tribulation. I was astonished by your extraordinary abilities, so I stopped to watch. If I have disturbed you, please forgive me."
This was a young woman in white, around twenty years old, with a beautiful face, a slender figure, and a graceful demeanor, exuding a gentle and tranquil aura.
She had a smile on her face and a humble attitude, giving people a warm and approachable feeling.
Seeing that the visitor was respectful and polite, and since he was merely a True Immortal of the Hundred Tribulations and posed no threat, Xiao Minghuang relaxed her guard slightly and said softly, "That's alright..."
Halfway through her sentence, Xiao Minghuang suddenly noticed the golden jade pendant hanging from Fang Nan's waist, on which was written a large character—"Patrol!"
This is a status jade pendant with the word "Xun" imprinted on it, which represents a special status. It is a messenger of the heavenly level and a patrolling order!
"Are you the World Patrol Order?"
Xiao Minghuang frowned slightly, staring at the other person with a slightly darkened gaze.
World Patrol Order!
Celestial Messenger!
She was well aware, of course, that although the World Patrol Order before her was only at the Truth Realm, it represented the will of the Supreme Heavenly Court and held the right to collect Immortal Tribute from the many worlds in her star field!
Under normal circumstances, any world where immortals exist must pay Immortal Tribute to the celestial realm.
The Immortal Tribute could be rare treasures from the heavens, the Immortal Qi of the immortals themselves, or other treasures that were equivalent to both.
A World Patrol Order may govern several large and small worlds, or even hundreds. When collecting Immortal Tribute, as long as the requirements of the Supreme Heavenly Court are met, the World Patrol Order has the right to interpret all other matters.
Don't underestimate Fang Nan just because she's only a True Immortal. With her status as a Realm World Patrol Order, even a Thousand Tribulation Immortal Lord would have to treat her with utmost respect and address her as "Lord Patrol Commander"!
There is no other reason.
Because she is an envoy of the Supreme Heavenly Court, representing its will and order!
In addition, Xiao Minghuang also knew that in order to prevent accidents from happening when the World Patrol Order traveling outside to collect Immortal Tribute, each World Patrol Order contained an extremely vast reserve of Immortal Qi. Once activated, no one below the Immortal King level could withstand it!
Therefore, the World Patrol Order itself is actually an extremely precious magical artifact, enough to allow the World Patrol Order act with impunity!
However, at this moment, the World Patrol Order extremely polite to Xiao Minghuang.
This is clearly not out of respect for strength.
There's always an ulterior motive behind giving a gift!
Xiao Minghuang knew this very well.
"I am Fang Nan, an envoy of the East Third District World Patrol Order the Immortal Lord of the Cangming Star Domain in the Longevity Heaven Realm."
Fang Nan smiled slightly, introduced himself, and then changed the subject, saying with a hint of apology, "I have come on the orders of Immortal Lord Cangming to investigate the current situation of the Five Directions One Realm. I did not mean to offend you, fellow Daoist. If I have offended you in any way, please forgive me."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Minghuang frowned slightly. She could tell, of course, that Fang Nan's words, though polite, also carried a hint of arrogance.
However, she didn't care about that.
"Then I'm afraid you've made a wasted trip."
Xiao Minghuang said calmly, "The Five Directions One Realm have been integrated, and their respective Heavenly Dao Source have merged. Now they have been combined into one realm, called: the Zhongji Great World!"
"Furthermore, the nearby Yu Ming Great World and Xuan Jin Great World have also merged with the Zhongji Great World, and now the origins of the three realms have all returned to one."
Upon hearing this, Fang Nan was taken aback and asked in astonishment, "Is that so?"
Xiao Minghuang smiled without saying a word.
Seeing her somewhat enigmatic smile, Fang Nan suddenly understood.
Near the Five Directions One Realm, a mysterious and powerful new immortal has appeared, and the Five Directions One Realm has just merged with the other two great worlds.
Therefore, the driving force behind all of this is self-evident!
"May I ask, fellow Daoist, are you the ruler of the Zhongji Great World?"
Fang Nan asked this question, but she already had the answer in her heart.
Xiao Minghuang nodded in acknowledgment, indicating that she had no intention of concealing her identity.
Upon hearing this, Fang Nan exclaimed, "Fellow Daoist, your fortune is truly the envy of all!"
Immediately, she said, "Fellow Daoist's ascension to the rank of Immortal Lord has brought blessings to the entire realm, and your merits are immeasurable. If you have the time, you may accompany me to the Longevity Heaven Realm to discuss your merits before the Heavenly Venerable. With your merits and seniority, the Heavenly Venerable will surely bestow a generous reward upon you!"
"Moreover, since you have already achieved the realm of Immortal Lord, you should go to the Heavenly Realm to receive the first title, which would allow the entire world of your realm to ascend and be ranked among the heavens. This is also the duty and obligation of us immortals!"
Xiao Minghuang narrowed her eyes slightly.
She wondered why this World Patrol Order so enthusiastic about inviting her to the Longevity Heaven Realm; did he seem to have some ulterior motive?
However, she quickly dismissed this speculation.
Because it's something that won't do her any harm.
She had originally planned to go to the celestial realm.
