After entering the Celestial Realm, Wang Hao first found a secluded place to develop his divine Divine Thought and integrate it with the body of the Corpse Immortal Emperor.
The Corpse Immortal Emperor was the alias he chose. He originally intended to use it as a temporary alias before finally forming his true form.
However, after discovering that the black blood actually originated from the corpse blood of a Heavenly Dao Realm expert who had fallen, he came up with an even more ingenious plan.
However, before implementing that plan, one must first thoroughly integrate one's Divine Thought with the body of the Corpse Immortal Emperor, and most importantly, refine the black blood within the Corpse Immortal Emperor's body.
The process of integrating with the Corpse Immortal Emperor's body is crucial. To avoid being targeted by other Heavenly Dao Realm experts and the hidden Heavenly Mandate, he needs to integrate with the Corpse Immortal Emperor's body to the point of perfect Hunyuan, just like his own body.
The most important thing is to merge with the true spirit of the Corpse Immortal Emperor, and to wrap the true spirit of the Corpse Immortal Emperor around the outer layer of one's own True Spirit Will, so as to eliminate all flaws.
After secretly developing his skills in a secluded place for tens of thousands of years, Wang Hao, having finally completed the process of integrating the Corpse Immortal Emperor's body, immediately set off towards a forbidden place he had learned about from the memories of Heavenly Emperor Ye and others.
In the timeline of Heavenly Emperor Ye and his companions, they all ventured into the Above the Heavens. Although they didn't achieve much, they did uncover many secrets of the Above the Heavens, one of which was the source of the black blood.
After flying silently for hundreds of years, Wang Hao finally arrived at the source of the black blood, a forbidden place even the Above the Heavens considered taboo.
Carefully breaking through the natural barriers surrounding the forbidden area, Wang Hao quickly arrived at the core of the forbidden area and saw a tall figure standing there.
It was a humanoid creature, except that it had a pair of wings on its back, like an angel in Western mythology.
The figure is now reduced to less than half its original size; the right half has even disappeared entirely, and black blood continues to flow down, converging into a black Liuliu of the forbidden area.
The black blood in the Shrouding the Heavens World originated from this place.
"As expected, someone tampered with it!"
Stepping forward and carefully sensing the condition of the mutilated body, Wang Hao was basically certain that the corpse's transformation was not accidental, but rather deliberate.
Someone orchestrated a scheme after its fall, guiding its remains to transform into a corpse, ultimately evolving into the black blood capable of corroding all the heavens and the world.
"The other party probably intends to use this method to oppress those worlds, forcing the powerful beings within to evolve in despair and achieve the most brilliant Dao Fruit."
With a thought racing through his mind, Wang Hao quickly analyzed the intentions of the person behind the scenes based on the available intelligence.
Above the Heavens, there are countless worlds, including numerous top-tier Great Thousand World similar to the Shrouding the Heavens World ".
In a world without Heavenly Dao Realm expert to oversee it, such a world is no different from an ant to a true Heavenly Dao Realm expert; countless of them could be annihilated with a single slap.
If the person behind this really wanted to use the black blood to corrupt those worlds, there would be no need for it, unless they were a mentally twisted psychopath who was having fun with such trivial matters.
If we exclude that, then the only remaining option is to force all the worlds to sacrifice their future, undergo extreme sublimation, and rapidly cultivate true Heavenly Dao Realm experts.
The value of a true Heavenly Dao Realm expert far exceeds that of countless Primordial Unity Realm experts. It's like raising a Gu worm, where the strongest Gu worm is ultimately harvested by the mastermind behind the scenes.
"Hey buddy, can I borrow your Dao Fruit for a moment?"
After exchanging greetings, Wang Hao used the black blood within the Corpse Immortal Emperor's body as a pivot, merging it into the remains of this powerful being to comprehend the Dao Fruit of this Heavenly Dao Realm expert.
The Dao Fruit of a Heavenly Dao Realm expert is very instructive for him. As long as he can digest and integrate it into himself, he will surely gain a great improvement.
This is much faster than the arduous, step-by-step accumulation using the Inner Scene Reincarnation Method.
Of course, this shortcut method can complement the Inner Scene Reincarnation Method. By using the Inner Scene Reincarnation Method to perfectly digest the Dao Fruit of this powerful person, there will be absolutely no hidden dangers or unstable foundation.
At the same time, he can ultimately use this powerful figure to cover himself up again, pretending to be this powerful figure's backup plan, in order to deceive the mastermind behind the scenes.
With the black blood from the Corpse Immortal Emperor as a catalyst, coupled with Wang Hao's cultivation at the Heavenly Dao Realm, the fusion proceeded smoothly without any rejection.
Of course, this is mainly because the powerful figure had already perished, leaving only a mutilated body. Even his instincts had been sealed by the mastermind behind the scenes, turning him into a puppet that could produce black blood, and he would not react at all.
The only danger here is the various restrictions formed by the Daoist aura that permeated the surrounding Great Dao after the death of this mutilated body. These restrictions may be fatal to a Primordial Unity Realm expert, but they are nothing special to a Heavenly Dao Realm expert like Wang Hao.
Not to mention that the corpse of the Corpse Immortal Emperor he is currently using is itself stained with black blood, making it a natural fit for this place.
Another ten thousand years passed, and Wang Hao quickly separated his body and left the place.
Although the mastermind behind it all has already left, who knows when they might suddenly decide to come back and check things out, so it's best to make a run for it as soon as possible.
Anyway, I've already gotten the biggest benefit here. All I need to do is find a secluded place to cultivate in seclusion and develop my strength. Then, I can slowly refine and absorb the Dao Fruit I obtained from that broken body using the Inner Scene Reincarnation Method.
According to Wang Hao's estimation, that mutilated body was likely that of a Middle Heavenly Dao Realm expert. Even if the Dao Fruit left in the mutilated body was incomplete, it still far exceeded Wang Hao's current Early Heavenly Dao Realm.
Refining Dao Fruit of a higher realm with a lower realm is naturally quite difficult, and the progress will be very slow.
Fortunately, with the help of the Inner Scene Reincarnation Method, Wang Hao was able to indirectly buy himself countless hours.
This refining process took 100,000 years. After emerging from seclusion again, Wang Hao inquired about the major events that had occurred in the Above the Heavens in recent years. Once he confirmed that nothing unusual had happened, he set off again for another forbidden place.
Above the Heavens, there are many treasure lands, but these treasure lands have all been turned into forbidden zones, and strange blood resembling black blood flows from them, staining countless worlds.
It's obvious even to a child that there must be many beings similar to that remnant of the Heavenly Dao Realm, clearly indicating that the masterminds behind the scenes have set up their schemes in more than one place.
The remains of these Heavenly Dao Realm experts are his opportunity. As long as he copies the remaining Dao Fruit of those experts, he can help his own realm improve rapidly.
Even if you only improve a little bit each time, it adds up over time and becomes a considerable achievement.
Most importantly, he can use these Heavenly Dao Realm experts to continuously improve the Inner Scene Reincarnation Method, making it Wang Hao's strongest method of proving the Dao.
This was the path he only realized after advancing to the Heavenly Dao Realm. He had two paths he was most proficient in: the Sword Dao and the Dao of Reincarnation.
Originally, the Dao of Cause and Effect was also to be included, but unfortunately, Cause and Effect is of no use to the level of the Great Dao Realm and has no future, so Wang Hao decisively abandoned it.
And so, Wang Hao continued his clandestine development, wandering from one forbidden land to another, stealing the Dao Fruit left behind in the remains of powerful Heavenly Dao Realm cultivators, and his own cultivation was rapidly improving.
Wang Hao dared not relax in his cultivation at all. Not to mention the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial Wilderness and Dao Ancestor Hongjun waiting for him in the Primordial Main World, he was already wary of the behind-the-scenes manipulators in this world.
Indeed, after years of investigation, he finally discovered that the mastermind behind setting up those forbidden places was not a single person.
He discovered the marks left behind by nine Peak Heavenly Dao Realm experts on the remains of those forbidden lands.
Clearly, there are nine Heavenly Dao Realm experts behind the scenes plotting against the Above the Heavens and the countless worlds under their command.
Speaking of which, the Above the Heavens are truly remarkable, as they can autonomously roam the Chaos Sea and capture the myriad realms that lie submerged within the Chaos Sea.
As far as he knew, there were over a hundred million worlds under the command of the Heavenly Above the Heavens, many of which had reached the level of top-tier Great Thousand World like the Shrouding the Heavens World.
And this doesn't even Above the Heavens the countless worlds that were completely destroyed and turned into nourishment in the past, which must have been far more numerous than those still existing today.
"Nine Peak Heavenly Dao Realm Heavenly Mandate, what on earth is this?"
Having once again stolen the remnant body Dao Fruit of a Heavenly Dao Realm expert, Wang Hao Return to the Hidden place, scratched his head, and felt extremely troubled by the current situation.
That's right, this time we're not facing just one Heavenly Mandate, but a full nine Heavenly Mandate, all of whom are at the Peak Heavenly Dao Realm. It's an absolutely dream-level challenge!
Long before he discovered that the Above the Heavens could capture the myriad worlds in the Chaos Sea, he guessed that there might be more than one Heavenly Mandate here.
Because Heavenly Mandate can devour each other, it possesses the ability to infinitely enhance its fundamental essence, which is very important.
The previous instance, the Tomb of the Gods World, has already proven the significance of the existence of Heavenly Mandate. It must be the ultimate weapon that the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial Wilderness differentiated to invade and ultimately dominate all the heavens and myriad worlds.
If it weren't for his appearance as an anomaly in the last Tomb of the Gods World, Heavenly Mandate would have already devoured Chen Nan and the Tomb of Gods Heavenly Dao, transforming into a true Heavenly Dao Realm expert.
The nine Heavenly Peak Heavenly Dao Heavenly Mandate currently hidden Above the Heavens have clearly all had this experience.
As for the remains of the Heavenly Dao Realm experts that were set up as forbidden areas, they were all defeated Heavenly Mandate whose origins were devoured by the victors, leaving only their shells to serve as forbidden zones for their Gu-raising plans.
If there were only one Heavenly Dao Realm expert Wang Hao would be confident in killing him, after all, he, Wang Hao, is also a man with a cheat system. Unfortunately, now he has to face a total of nine Heavenly Mandate experts who have cultivated to the highest level.
"Looks like we have no choice but to fight with all our might again!"
After much deliberation, Wang Hao finally decided to use the same methods he had used to clear the levels, risking his life to fight for those Heavenly Mandate. Moreover, compared to those Heavenly Mandate that had been separated by the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial Wilderness, he had an advantage that they did not have.
If used properly, it's not impossible to clear this instance world.
However, reaching that stage is extremely difficult. At the very least, one's cultivation must reach the Peak Heavenly Dao Realm, and before that, one must not be detected by the Nine Heavenly Mandate, otherwise all efforts will be in vain.
"That crazy woman and her gang will be here soon!"
After estimating the time, Wang Hao that the Empress Ruthless and the others should be entering the Above the Heavens soon.
He himself entered the Above the Heavens from the Chaotic Ancient Era, which was tens of millions of years before the Era of Shrouding the Heavens. The Empress Ruthless, on the other hand, cultivated to the Immortal Emperor Realm before the Era of the Sacred Ruins and then invaded the Celestials.
Even with his own Perfect Cultivation System, this system only grants him ten times the potential of someone at the peak of the same realm. In terms of cultivation speed, it is no faster than the Shrouding the Heavens Method, and is even slower.
So, even now, the Empress Ruthless and others haven't cultivated to the Immortal Emperor Realm and entered the Above the Heavens, but they should be soon.
The Empress Ruthless and others were perfect targets, ideal for drawing out the Nine Heavenly Mandate, while he could safely hide behind the scenes and continue to develop stealthily.
