Free Web NovelChapter 632: Chapter 416: Traveling the Ten Thousand Realms, Familiar Malice
"Brother Li, there are no cultivators in the world, wake up."
The young man’s exoskeleton armor was a size above his own; even though the young man wasn’t burly, wearing the exoskeleton armor made him appear just like a divine weapon.
On the chest of the armor was a spot of crimson, surrounded by a deep blue liquid.
That was Sanming Charcoal and One-Element Heavy Water.
In the young man’s ear was a communication device, from which came the voice of a companion trying to persuade him to stop.
"Brother Li, you’ve been reading too many novels."
"Do you not value your life?"
"The legend says that the Divine Mountain is the transformation of the Cyan Dragon, and at its peak is the inheritance left by immortals; these are just fabrications of novelists."
"Brother Li, if you go any higher, the Cold Gang Wind will intensify, and you will lose contact."
"For hundreds of years, how many have tried to climb the Divine Mountain, and who has succeeded?"
"The peak of the Divine Mountain is notoriously a life-forbidden zone!"
"Three years ago, the Federation Government activated the Titan Armor and still couldn’t reach the peak of the Divine Mountain, and why do you think you can?"
The young man surnamed Li listened to the words coming from the communication device, but the determination in his eyes did not waver in the slightest.
"Zhang Yang, tell me the details of the celestial phenomenon and the changes in airflow."
"Everything is normal, the armor is functioning fine, vital signs are stable."
"Three years ago, they were overconfident, trying to fight directly against the Cold Gang Wind, but now I’m different."
"I have confidence."
"Brother Li... Li... Sss— Crackle."
The voice in the communication device turned hoarse.
The young man surnamed Li looked at the sky, feeling as if someone was watching him.
"To reach the peak of the Divine Mountain and see if there are real immortals in the world, that has been my dream since childhood."
"I, Li Tian, managed to enter the highest academy of the Federation from humble beginnings, precisely for today."
"According to my modifications, Divine Soldier No.7 can perfectly withstand the harsh weather of the Divine Mountain, and I also have a special chart I found before."
Li Tian mumbled while operating the mecha, climbing toward the peak of the Divine Mountain.
A faint light shield appeared on the machine’s surface.
"This is the array of those legendary cultivators... I used Nine Curves Spirit Water, combined with Three Flames Spirit Marrow, and the Star Marrow left by my father, finally perfecting the array."
The cold wind howled.
Between heaven and earth, there was no more vitality.
Only Li Tian was left whispering inside the armor.
Faint flow patterns appeared on the armor’s surface, surprisingly blocking the Cold Gang Wind.
In Li Tian’s eyes, only the sky’s peak, the tallest Divine Mountain, remained.
The peak of the Divine Mountain.
A place untouched for ten thousand years.
A mecha’s large hand grasped a layer of perpetual ice.
"Bang."
A mecha exhausted its last energy and finally fell onto the peak of the Divine Mountain.
"Finally reached."
"Hmph, it’s just so-so."
"I, Li Tian, will be the first person in the world to climb the Divine Mountain!"
"I—"
Li Tian’s words abruptly stopped.
Only to see atop the peak.
Stood a young man in a black robe.
The most crucial thing was that the other party didn’t have any steam devices on his body.
He stood there on the mountain peak, completely on his own.
The young man in the black robe turned around, smiling at Li Tian.
"Of the thirty-one people I enlightened, you are the first to come before me."
"You, you, you..."
Li Tian’s mind went blank, and his mouth moved as if cramping.
The young man in the black robe gently waved his hand.
Gang Wind dispersed, and green grass and flowers began to grow on the layer of perpetual ice.
The Nine Heavens Cold Gang Wind, which had hindered the Human Race for thousands of years, now transformed into a warm spring breeze.
Li Tian didn’t know when the armor on his body had already come off.
He instinctively came to Zhong Heng, kneeling before him.
"Immortal Fate," only this word remained in Li Tian’s mind.
Zhong Heng placed his hand on Li Tian’s head.
"Since you and I are fated, today you shall be my registered disciple, Zhong Heng."
"You shall receive my inheritance and spread it throughout this world."
"In three hundred and seventy-six days, this world will experience Spiritual Qi Recovery, and you are to spread the Dao to the world."
"In one hundred and fifty-two years, this world will connect with the Cultivation Realm, and at that time, when you call my name, no one will dare trouble you."
Zhong Heng looked at this fortunate one.
A Five Elements Dao Seed was transferred into Li Tian’s body.
This Dao Seed would become Li Tian’s Dao Protection Technique.
Moreover, it greatly enhanced Li Tian’s aptitude and talent; this child was almost certainly destined to be the world plane’s future son.
None other than because he was favored by Zhong Heng.
"Li Tian, pay respects to the master."
Li Tian instinctively knelt on the ground, mimicking scenarios from novels he had read, offering a salute.
Zhong Heng, with his hands behind his back, slowly began to fade away as a spirit body.
And Li Tian descended to replace him in this world and spread the Dao.
When this world nears Jiuzhou, it will inevitably be captured by the Wanlang Mountains, gaining a part of it.
In Li Tian’s mind was a profound and marvelous Cultivation Technique.
And an Array Manual, as well as the Cultivation Common Sense Encyclopedia.
These would replace Zhong Heng in guiding Li Tian.
The clash of Jiuzhou’s cultivation with this world’s Steam Dao would inevitably give birth to more advanced technology...
The ownership and dissemination of a Secret Realm were merely leisurely moves made by Zhong Heng.
Zhong Heng wandered through world after world.
Among them were large worlds and Blessed Land Worlds.
Pocket Worlds, however, he hadn’t encountered yet.
If he met a fated one, Zhong Heng would pass down his Dao lineage casually.
If he came across an intriguing world, Zhong Heng would linger a bit longer, just like the Steam World previously.
Zhong Heng’s main goal is still to venture deeper into the Luoshu World.
However, Zhong Heng is not in a hurry.
After all, Five Elements True Immortal said, the Luoshu World requires at least another ten thousand years to surface.
The Luoshu is essentially the deepest of worlds.
By then, the entire Jiuzhou would likely return to its original state, and even more because of Secret Realm wars, the average quality of cultivators would rise significantly.
Zhong Heng slowly left his mark and legends in world after world.
Many Secret Realm World creatures witnessed the fleeting immortal light in the sky.
Henceforth, the cultivators in these Secret Realm Worlds believed in the legend of Breaking the Void to ascend.
There were also worlds quite interesting.
Such as the first Cultivation World Zhong Heng encountered.
Also, one that completely merged Martial Dao with cultivation, creating a cultivation system similar to those in fantasy novels from Zhong Heng’s previous life memory.
Of course, the essence is still the Path of Cultivation.
Zhong Heng, based on his understanding, passed down his Dao lineage within, and even slapped to death an old undying seeking to devour the world’s creatures for longevity.
Known as the Five Elements Emperor, the Dao lineage he passed down was also sealed as the True Doctrine.
The style of this world gradually became one that focused on Body Refining supported by Qi Refining in cultivation.
Some worlds developed the Star General Dao using Star Power, attracting starlight due to a weaker World Extreme Wall than other worlds.
Other worlds leaned on exploiting the Power of Nature, their bodies physically weak, able to easily obtain and lose power, and they called themselves Mages.
Some worlds have yet to experience Spiritual Qi Recovery, but Yin Qi is overpowering, leading to the revival of Ghost Souls.
Zhong Heng encountered quite a few such worlds, some even containing Blessed Lands.
Among these, some had already established systematic cultivation systems, with cultivators practicing to combat ghosts.
Some human races were entirely cut off from cultural inheritance, having to fuse with ghosts for resistance.
Some humans had forged Qi Fortune Dynasties, with scarce Spiritual Qi, emphasizing the Confucian Dao, using the Vast Righteous Qi of a Great Scholar against ghosts.
Many seedlings with innate talent for Divine Sense were present in these worlds, each receiving Zhong Heng’s Dao lineage.
Zhong Heng, when encountering numerous intriguing worlds.
Passed down his Dao lineage casually in them.
Of course, these worlds are just a minority.
The majority of the worlds Zhong Heng traversed were miniature versions of the Cultivation Realm.
By now, Zhong Heng had passed through fifty-three Large Secret Realms and nine Blessed Land Worlds.
He had already delved into Fragment Worlds.
However, Zhong Heng found.
The worlds with overly heavy Yin Qi were on the rise; heavy Yin Qi signifies the prosperity of Ghost Souls.
Among them, the creatures able to take measures against ghosts were rare as could be.
Zhong Heng had already encountered several worlds completely transformed into Ghostly Worlds.
Yin and Yang imbalance, leaving these worlds with only destruction.
Zhong Heng gradually felt a somewhat familiar aura in these Yin Qi heavy worlds.
Madness, despair...
Zhong Heng’s expression gradually turned solemn, it was the origin of the malevolent thought felt when returning from the Five Spirits Immortal Venerable inheritance...
