Chapter 219 Oh my, my daughter has become the Empress of the Immortal Domain! Rumble!
As Xiao Ping'an sensed it, the heavens and earth of this space-time roared, and the laws and order of the Great Dao manifested, unable to withstand the aura emanating from the Ash Jar.
Even this supposedly ominous place, faced with the mysterious aura emanating from this Ash Jar, was as vulnerable as clay, utterly defenseless.
If it weren't for the Bronze Coffin protecting Xiao Ping'an, Xiao Ping'an might have turned to ashes long ago.
As he carefully examined the Ash Jar, he seemed to sense the scene inside Ash Jar.
Inside the Ash Jar, an eerie and ominous aura of the Dao was circulating, its decaying and degenerate aura sending chills down one's spine.
In a daze, it seemed there was Dark Weird Substance inside.
In the darkness, it seemed as if it sensed that after being corrupted by that Dark Weird Substance, its body would be covered with dense black hair, flowing with black, foul blood, turning it into an incomparably terrifying monster.
Both the body and the origin of the Great Dao are corrupted, and the primordial spirit will be replaced by a newly born, eerie consciousness.
Although Xiao Ping'an had already guessed, he was still shocked when he sensed the small amount of Weird Substance remaining in the Ash Jar.
The Ash Jar was found to be unclean.
It seems that in the original text, the Pollen Empress, the Desolate Heaven Emperor, and Ye Fan, either after or before becoming a seed, may have specifically cleaned this Ash Jar.
Otherwise, this Ash Jar wouldn't be so "dirty" now.
There were remnants of Weird Primordial Substance inside.
This is both an opportunity to become a powerful figure in the Sacrificial Dao and a source of pollution that contaminates all the heavens and myriad realms.
It's truly terrifying.
Despite the Ash Jar separating them, Xiao Ping'an seemed to have a premonition that this was the case.
But the sense of oppression and terror it brought to Xiao Ping'an was truly terrifying.
Fortunately, Xiao Ping'an did not open the Ash Jar.
The Ash Jar's magical sealing effect quickly made this special feeling disappear.
That eerie atmosphere also disappeared.
Only on the Ash Jar, Above Sacrificial Dao, does the divine essence of the living silently flow.
This kind of Dao ripple is extremely mysterious. Even Xiao Ping'an, who thought he had amazing comprehension, still couldn't understand it.
It seems that even grasping a fraction of the truth will take a long time, given the vast difference in levels.
Imagine that this Ash Jar was personally crafted by a being from the Above Sacrificial Dao.
It is the ultimate object used to hold his ashes.
Having carried his ashes for countless eons, the unique divine aura he possessed was truly transcendent.
After contemplating the matter, Xiao Ping'an withdrew his divine sense.
His eyes gleamed, clearly indicating that he was not at peace and his heart was in turmoil.
He couldn't help but exclaim, "So this is the divine essence of the Dao Above Sacrificial Dao..."
"Learning has no limits, and its depths are unfathomable..."
As someone who helps others become beings on the Above Sacrificial Dao, Xiao Ping'an also hopes that one day he can reach that incredible surprise.
The lingering traces of the Great Dao and a faint aura on this Ash Jar made him realize the vast difference in their strength.
This also gave him a stronger fighting spirit.
If we are going to climb to that supreme realm, then we must hone every realm to its ultimate perfection.
"Now that we have the Ash Jar, there's no point in leaving it in the River of Time."
"This is truly my greatest takeaway from this journey through the River of Time."
"I'll try to bring it back to the real world and see if I can."
"Please don't let it fly away or disappear halfway through the journey."
"This place is not safe to stay long. I'll ponder it more carefully when I get back."
Xiao Ping'an quickly came up with a new idea.
This inexplicable space-time and this ominous place is where the Immortal Emperor and the mysterious Immortal Emperor fell, and it may attract the attention of strange creatures.
Moreover, this special space-time is unknown in terms of both location and time.
It would be such a waste to die here or be trapped here.
Even if one possesses extraordinary talent and comprehension, it would be better to remain low-key for a while before becoming a true master of the Sacrificial Dao.
It's true that there's Bronze Coffin now, but if that Bronze Coffin were to suddenly burst into the void, I would be trapped in this time and space, lost in the River of Time.
Thinking of this, he immediately used the Ash Jar to erase the scent of the place, to prevent others from discovering that he had been there.
Then, using Bronze Coffin, they smashed through the River of Time and entered the River of Time once more.
Then, using the Bronze Coffin as a boat, they flew swiftly towards the real world.
Dappled light and shadow, a disorientation of time and space.
Countless worlds are in flux.
Peerless talents rise or fall, rising and falling on the waves of River of Time.
Xiao Ping'an could feel himself traversing countless distant years.
Buzzing.
With a deafening roar, the Bronze Coffin shattered the River of Time and returned to the real world.
Xiao Ping'an stepped out of the coffin, saw that he had successfully returned to the real world, looked at the Ash Jar that Mount Tai in his hand, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"I, Hu Hansan, am back!"
From then on, Xiao Ping'an continuously comprehended the profound essence of the Dao embodied in the Ash Jar.
Even when the Bronze Coffin mysteriously flew away and he couldn't catch up, he didn't care much.
Because he already had Ash Jar.
He no longer cared much about the Bronze Coffin, something that didn't belong to him.
Perhaps the Desolate Heaven Emperor needs to summon this Bronze Coffin to deliver a message or to lead the powerful beings of all the heavens and myriad realms into the Great War of the Heavens.
Xiao Ping'an thought that as long as he kept the Ash Jar firmly in his hands, he would surely be able to grow stronger in the future.
Even at the end of the era, during the grand sacrifice to the heavens, he hid in the Ash Jar, and the collapse of the heavens and the cracking of the earth could not harm him.
Even if heaven and earth collapse and eras cycle, he need not worry about being destroyed.
Ash Jar are truly amazing.
With his cultivation reaching Xiao Ping'an's level, the world barriers between fragments of the Immortal Domain Immortal Domain no longer stop him.
Even without going through a special portal, he can enter other fragments of the Immortal Domain.
After studying Ash Jar for a long time, Xiao Ping'an felt he had benefited greatly.
With his current strength, that's about it.
He decided to leave this fragment of another Foreign Realm and explore other fragments of the Immortal Domain.
I also wanted to check on my three children.
Back then, the Heaven-Reaching Ancient Star Region unexpectedly opened a Road to Immortality, which he seized the opportunity to send his daughter Xiao Xingyao, his fourth son Xiao Xuanyuan, and his youngest son Little Phoenix into the Immortal Domain.
More than 1.5 million years have passed now; I wonder how they are doing now.
Then, with a flicker of his body, he left this world.
It broke through the world barrier and then flew towards other fragments of the Immortal Domain.
Xiao Ping'an quickly found a vast fragment of an immortal Immortal Domain, which was also the most likely Immortal Domain where his children would enter.
The world barrier was utterly incapable of withstanding the strength of Immortal King.
Xiao Ping'an entered that world with ease.
Moreover, with the Ash Jar serving as a cover, the arrival of a dignified Immortal King in this world did not elicit any reaction from the world at all.
It's as simple as walking from one room to another.
Xiao Ping'an had just entered the Immortal Domain when he suddenly saw a green light flash by.
It turned out to be an Immortal Divine Medicine.
He appeared to be being chased by something, fleeing at top speed.
Even though Xiao Ping'an had become Immortal King, he was still very interested in the Immortal Divine Medicine.
After all, for the descendants of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, every single Immortal Divine Medicine is extremely precious.
Moreover, with their descendants multiplying, there really isn't enough to go around.
Xiao Ping'an looked at the Immortal Divine Medicine, smiled slightly, grabbed it, and put it into his weapon world.
As for the pursuer, he was easily crushed to death, without even leaving a name.
He looked at this fragment of the Immortal Domain with great curiosity.
There are unique laws governing this place; with just a slight understanding, one immediately feels a significant gain.
Everywhere you look, there are lush forests, abundant vegetation, and verdant mountains and clear waters.
Divine light and auspicious colors emanated from the air.
Furthermore, Hundun energy flowed intermittently, along with an almost endless stream of celestial energy, like smoke and mist.
Even the celestial energy was so concentrated that it transformed into river water.
One sacred mountain after another floats in the sky.
Xiao Ping'an also saw cultivators flying around from time to time.
This place must be some sacred land or a divine site belonging to a noble family; no wonder the conditions for cultivation are so good.
Xiao Ping'an soon discovered that this was a sacred place.
To his surprise, these people were not practicing the Five Great Secret Realms Method, but rather the Chaotic Ancient Method.
Only a small number of people practice the Five Great Secret Realms Method.
I noticed that someone of his level could naturally see through it at a glance.
Looking at this seemingly ordinary holy land, I never imagined that it would contain such an ancient cultivation method. I just don't know why they don't practice the Five Great Secret Realms Method, which consume fewer resources and have a faster cultivation speed.
Instead, they used this outdated method, which was time-consuming, laborious, and potentially contaminated.
Xiao Ping'an soon discovered that the highest cultivation level in this holy land was only that of Quasi-Emperor.
He didn't even become Great Emperor.
In comparison, the cultivation environment here is many times better than the best cultivation environment in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
Yet, even with such a top-tier cultivation environment, no true Great Emperor or True Immortal were nurtured.
He quickly found the reason.
It turns out that this place is rich in celestial energy and Longevity Substance.
Whether one cultivates spiritual practice or not, one has a long lifespan; with just a little cultivation, one can achieve longevity and immortality.
The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!
Therefore, they were all lazy and in no hurry when it came to spiritual practice.
Xiao Ping'an was somewhat speechless as he looked at these leisurely and lazy cultivators.
The Desolate Heaven Emperor stood in front, blocking the terrifying enemy and preventing their invasion.
But what's going on with these people?
They weren't in a hurry at all.
It's as if they didn't know that the Desolate Heaven Emperor was fighting a great battle ahead, which secured a peaceful and tranquil cultivation environment for them.
Everyone looked lazy and indifferent.
Laozi had an attitude of "whatever, I'll just slowly cultivate myself like this."
Xiao Ping'an seemed to remember something and clenched his fists tightly.
"Some people are bearing the burden for you, some are cultivating themselves desperately, all to support the battlefield of the Heavens, yet these people live such comfortable lives, like cats and dogs."
"It seems that unless they are made aware of life-or-death crises, they won't know the cruelty of this world."
Xiao Ping'an was so angry he laughed.
Apart from a small number of people actually practicing, most of the practitioners here are indulging in a life of debauchery, reveling in luxury and extravagance.
People there used to drink tea, visit brothels, and occasionally discuss metaphysics; basically, no one deliberately practiced cultivation or went into seclusion for ascetic training.
Everything seemed to be going with the flow, in a lazy, lazily manner.
Although their cultivation level was not very high, their attitude and method of cultivation made their foundation in the Great Dao very solid.
There's no need to worry about the danger of going berserk and dying.
In comparison, the brutal cultivation environment of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths is simply enough to drive people mad.
To perish while cultivating, to transform into the Dao, leaving no trace of one's body—how tragic!
Even if one attains the Dao and becomes an emperor in that world, their lifespan is only a little over ten thousand years.
In comparison, the Immortal Domain truly is Heaven.
Xiao Ping'an pondered how to put pressure on the people in this world, to get them moving and to cultivate diligently.
At the very least, they'll become qualified cannon fodder in the future.
We can't let others fight against the strange enemy on the front lines while they're living a life of debauchery here.
Xiao Ping'an really couldn't stand it.
"Never mind, I'll take a good look around this world first."
He captured several powerful individuals and searched their souls, then vanished in a flash.
His immense divine sense scanned the entire world.
In the blink of an eye, all the terrain, landforms, sacred sites, noble families, and countless powerful individuals in this world, along with all their secrets, were exposed.
A flood of information came to Xiao Ping'an's mind.
He gained a detailed understanding of this fragment of the Immortal Domain.
There are no Immortal King in this fragment of the Immortal Domain.
"There are no more True Immortal!"
"The strongest ones are actually my two sons and one daughter."
"I wonder how many times they transformed after they attained the Dao and became emperors?"
Looking at this weak and vulnerable world, Xiao Ping'an was truly speechless.
I always thought there must be at least a few True Immortal in this world.
I didn't expect this fragment of the Immortal Domain to be so weak.
The Immortal Domain has been shattered into countless fragments; this is merely one of them.
Even that Foreign Realm was smashed into countless fragments, and Xiao Ping'an had just arrived here from one of the Foreign Realm fragments.
I recall someone mentioned in the Sacred Ruins, the Celestial Gu Tuo, who was also very powerful.
Ye Fan encountered this person when he led everyone into the Immortal Domain.
At that time, Celestial Gu Tuo was the most powerful True Immortal among all the fragments of the Immortal Domain.
He ruled over one of the vast fragments of the Immortal Domain, much like Ye Fan, Lord of the Heavenly Court.
This Celestial Gu Tuo, it seems, later became either Quasi-Immortal Emperor or Immortal Emperor, but in any case, he perished.
Later, his son, Gu Qing, briefly appeared during the Sacred Ruins era and became Quasi-Immortal Emperor.
There is no information about the Celestial Gu Tuo in this fragment of the Immortal Domain, so it seems that this fragment is different from the one Immortal Domain Ye Fan entered.
Although it is only a fragment of the Immortal Domain, its size is still enormous.
Xiao Ping'an estimated that it was at least a thousand times the size of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
More importantly, this place contains abundant Longevity Substance.
The people in the Immortal Platform Second Secret Realm possess almost limitless lifespans, living past a million, and remaining young is effortless.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this superior environment for cultivation that the people who cultivate here are so lazy.
Fortunately, her two sons and one daughter did not let their guard down after they came into this world.
No wonder they were able to become the strongest Great Emperor in the shortest amount of time.
Especially Xiao Xingyao, after bringing her two younger brothers to this world, discovered that her strength was enough to make her a king in this world.
So she immediately took action, conquering vast territories and establishing one Divine City after another.
Xiao Xingyao is also revered as the female emperor of this world, which shows her strength and domineering nature.
His two younger brothers, after growing up, established two Xiao clan dynasties.
Seeing that the children seemed to be living well, Xiao Ping'an immediately decided to go and see them.
He then took a step and instantly appeared where Xiao Xuanyuan was.
" Xuanyuan, do you still recognize your father?"
"It's been so long! I've missed you all so much."
Xiao Ping'an's figure appeared instantly at Xiao Xuanyuan's place of enlightenment.
At this moment, opposite him were two young men and women, listening to him discuss metaphysics and give guidance on cultivation.
Upon hearing Xiao Ping'an's words, the two teenagers immediately erupted in chaos.
The two of them immediately stood up, looking at Xiao Ping'an with wary expressions.
They might even have to activate the family's formation.
This person came uninvited and appeared suddenly. Whether he was friend or foe was completely unclear. Even though he smiled very kindly, they did not let their guard down.
Xiao Xuanyuan was also shocked after hearing this.
He immediately stood up. "Father? It really is you!"
He walked towards Xiao Ping'an with an excited expression.
When his father hastily sent him to the Immortal Domain, he never imagined that their reunion would be almost a final farewell.
When they met again, it was already 1.5 million years later.
"After all these years, I've finally seen my father again!"
"I never imagined that you, Father, would actually enter the Immortal Domain!"
At this moment, Xiao Xuanyuan looked like a twenty-year-old young man; the years had left no trace on him.
Especially after he became Great Emperor, his cultivation level became stronger and stronger. He has now lived through his fourth life. If he were in the Shrouding the Heavens World, he would definitely have the strength of Heavenly Emperor.
In particular, he also possesses the Heavenly Tyrant Body.
Of course, in this fragment of the Immortal Domain, there are no special shackles of heaven and earth like those on the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body or the Heavenly Tyrant Body; they can perfectly merge with the Heavenly Heart Imprint in this world.
Yes, these shattered fragments of the Immortal Domain each formed a different Heavenly Heart Imprint.
Even so, Xiao Xuanyuan, who possesses the Heavenly Tyrant Blood, is far superior to these native Great Emperor.
Anyway, his combat power is extremely strong.
Seeing their ancestor so excited he was about to cry, the two young men looked on with curiosity.
"Ancestor, who is this person?"
Why did he suddenly come to our house?
The young boy and girl looked at Xiao Ping'an with curiosity.
This is my father!
"Our ancestor of the Heavenly Tyrant Blood Lineage!"
"He comes from that barren world I came from, as I've told you before."
"Father, these two are twins born to my eleventh-generation descendant, and they possess the rich Heavenly Tyrant Blood."
"They are very well-behaved and sensible, I like them very much!"
