Replacing the Heart of Heaven with the Heart of Man, Replacing the Way of Heaven with the Way of Man

Within the Human Way Heavenly Court, in the Heaven-Facing Hall.

The grand court assembly had already ended. Liang Zhaohuang and the other nine newly invested single-character kings remained behind to hold a smaller court session with the Human Emperor.

At this moment, golden light blazed from a Golden Cauldron at the center of the Heaven-Facing Hall. It tore open the origin of heaven and earth, revealing this world's Heaven-and-Earth Root before everyone.

Liang Zhaohuang's gaze narrowed at the sight. With the aid of the Five Elements Heaven-Mending Grand Formation and the Five-Colored Stone, he too could now open the origin of heaven and earth and see the Heaven-and-Earth Root. Yet he could only see it himself; it was difficult for him to let others see the origin of heaven and earth and face the Heaven-and-Earth Root directly.

If he used the Phoenix Dharma Aspect to control the Five Elements Heaven-Mending Grand Formation and open the origin of heaven and earth, he should be able to let outsiders face the Heaven-and-Earth Root directly.

However, for mortals beneath the immortal rank, directly facing the Heaven-and-Earth Root carried risks. Without sufficient cultivation, confronting the origin of heaven and earth made one far more likely to be swallowed by it.

Back when Liang Zhaohuang had been forging his body with the Phoenix Dharma Aspect, he had accidentally first come into contact with the origin of heaven and earth. He had nearly sunk into it beyond escape, only barely preserving himself under the protection of the Five-Colored Halo.

Thus, while Liang Zhaohuang could perhaps allow outsiders to face the Heaven-and-Earth Root through the Phoenix Dharma Aspect's control of the Five Elements Heaven-Mending Grand Formation, he absolutely could not protect them. He would only cause them to fall directly into the Heaven-and-Earth Root and be assimilated
