Chapter 631: Chapter 416: Traveling the Ten Thousand Realms, Familiar Malice
Deep worlds.
Refer to those worlds far away from the Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm among the Fragment Worlds broken from Jiuzhou.
Zhong Heng once saw that Path of the Star River in the legacy of the Five Spirits Immortal Venerable, which is formed by the stacking of countless Fragment Worlds.
However, that Path of the Star River is merely a projection of countless worlds.
Divinity Transformation Cultivators already possess the ability to survive briefly in the void.
But even Divinity Transformation cannot enter these worlds within the Path of the Star River in the void.
The only way to enter these worlds is to use Jiuzhou as a medium, utilizing Jiuzhou’s attraction to the Fragment Worlds to open a passageway.
Divinity Transformation Cultivators do not have the ability to freely travel to these worlds.
For Immortals, entering these worlds would cause significant damage to them.
But Zhong Heng is different.
The power of the Space Magic Cube can allow Zhong Heng to silently pass through each World Extreme Wall.
"This feeling..."
The power of the Space Magic Cube enveloped Zhong Heng.
Zhong Heng looked at the clusters of light before him, each representing a world.
Now, Zhong Heng is in the gap between World Extreme Walls.
"Worlds..." Zhong Heng’s gaze swept over these worlds emotionlessly, with the majesty of Divinity Transformation not yet restrained.
The Fragment Worlds seen by Zhong Heng began to stir.
The World Will awakened.
The strongest beings within these worlds also began to stir restlessly.
Only when Zhong Heng withdrew his gaze did the turmoil of these worlds slowly settle down.
From Nascent Soul to Divinity Transformation is a qualitative breakthrough.
Nascen Soul can become Land Immortals, while Divinity Transformation is the Immortal of the Human World.
When Zhong Heng initially broke through, he absorbed half of the Spiritual Qi from the surface of the Wanlang Mountains.
At this moment, his size is comparable to a small world’s.
The vast, unfathomable True Essence has begun to compress on its own, trending towards Immortal Essence.
If Zhong Heng were to reverse his True Essence into Spiritual Qi, it would be enough to initiate a Spiritual Qi Recovery in a Blessed Land.
Without other means, if Zhong Heng forcibly enters these small worlds, there would be only one result.
These small worlds would burst apart under the pressure of Zhong Heng.
Only top-tier Blessed Lands and Pocket Worlds can withstand Divinity Transformation Cultivators; even so, every move still causes significant harm to the world.
"Need to find a place to rest first."
The gap between Extreme Walls is a place with no substantial difference from the void.
Not even Divinity Transformation can linger here for long.
A blue glow emerged from the Space Magic Cube.
Zhong Heng’s power began to envelop him, and then he disappeared.
Zhong Heng could feel his Life Level starting to actively decrease.
Both externally and internally.
But essentially, his Life Level remained unchanged.
Spring and Autumn Realm.
Zhong Heng stood atop the highest peak in the world, Qinglong San Song Divine Mountain.
"Large Secret Realm World, but its roots seem impressive."
"This world... hasn’t experienced Spiritual Qi Recovery yet?"
Zhong Heng stood at the summit of the Divine Mountain.
Accompanied only by the Nine Heavens Gang Wind and extreme cold.
Yet the fierce wind, capable of freezing all spirits, turned into a gentle breeze in front of Zhong Heng.
Zhong Heng merely willed it.
In this world, no one could perceive as his Divine Sense spread across the entire world.
The myriad beings, each person’s traits, talents, characteristics, all secrets lay bare before Zhong Heng.
"Oh?"
"A special Steam Spiritual Artifact crafted using the Acquired Artifact Refining Technique?"
Artifact Refining Technique is divided into Innate, Acquired, and Pill Fire.
Innate involves barely refining those Artifact Embryos, which is a rare encounter.
Acquired uses natural Earth Fire, Heavenly Fire, lava, or even Demon Beast Fire for refining.
Pill Fire arises after a cultivator forms a Golden Core, the Golden Core then nurturing Golden Core Fire, substituting all worldly flames.
Moreover, Pill Fire can grow; it does not vanish upon breaking the Core to form a Nascent Soul.
Pill Fire acts as the Artifact Refiner’s third hand, wielded with ease and excellent control.
The Pill Fire Dao became mainstream, yet Innate and Acquired methods remain due to their uniqueness.
For instance, before Golden Core, one can only use Earth Fire or Beast Fire to craft Magical Artifacts and Spiritual Artifacts.
This world, although Spiritual Qi hasn’t recovered, still possesses a complete foundation and abundant Earth Fire.
These mortals have managed to utilize Earth Fire to produce excellent refining materials, then employing Sanming Charcoal unique to this realm to craft One-Element Heavy Water.
Using One-Element Heavy Water as an optimal energy transmission medium, they’ve created something akin to the steam engines from Zhong Heng’s past life memory.
"Interesting indeed."
Zhong Heng smiled faintly.
If one day the Spiritual Qi of Jiuzhou dissipates, this steam civilization might not be an unworthy path.
But as long as True Immortals remain, the Immortal Dao, where great power resides within, shall definitively be mainstream.
"However, lacking certain elements."
"Without the drive from Arrays, your path cannot advance."
"Seems that aside from the Luoshu World, the special worlds along this path might be my opportunities."
Zhong Heng raised his brows.
He just casually chose a Large Secret Realm World and received such surprises.
If it were a Blessed Land World or a Grotto Heaven World, it might offer truly useful things for Zhong Heng now.
"This place has affinity with me, shall establish my legacy here."
Zhong Heng said blandly.
A faint brilliance emerged from his body.
Then Zhong Heng took a step out, exiting this world.
At the summit of the Divine Mountain, a youth in black clothes gazed down at the land.
After three months.
A young man operated a steam exoskeleton armor, trudging arduously up the mountain.
