Chapter 242: Embryonic Form
In just an instant, boundless Sacrificial Dao firelight rushed up from the five altars. This was a flame that could make an Immortal Emperor completely cease to exist.
Boundless firelight burned. What was strange was that the various immortal gold and immortal materials were not damaged in the slightest, and at this time, the Sacrificial Dao patterns that had restrained the Weird Immortal Emperor's Dao fruit quietly retreated.
In an instant, the radiance belonging to the Immortal Emperor's Dao fruit illuminated the ten directions of the World, yet it constantly disintegrated and disappeared under the煅燒 of the Sacrificial Dao fire.
It couldn't withstand this terrifying flame!
Disintegrating along with it were the extremely concentrated polluting substances, which were the strongest level of pollution.
However, it could be seen that within the constantly disintegrating Immortal Emperor's Dao fruit, countless Great Dao were collapsing and breaking.
Those were all Great Dao of the Immortal Emperor level; they collectively formed and constructed this Immortal Emperor level Dao fruit!
Of course, it was only natural that it couldn't withstand this, because this should have been the flame used to 'sacrifice' one's own Dao after an Immortal Emperor had accumulated enough.
This kind of flame, which transcends the Dao, transcends the World, and can extinguish all karma, can also allow an Immortal Emperor to reach the peak of sublimation and advance further.
These Great Dao that were collapsing and disintegrating were the unnecessary 'dregs' and pollution, which were now being burned and cleared away.
Watching his split bodies being burned by this terrifying Sacrificial Dao flame, Fang Ming felt nothing at all.
He didn't feel any pain, as if he was watching unrelated things being burned.
Protected by these Sacrificial Dao patterns, he also couldn't sense the condition of his split bodies.
He didn't know if his split bodies felt pain, but judging from their calm appearance, they probably didn't feel any pain.
It made sense. After all, this was not a flame in the ordinary sense. It was normal not to feel ordinary pain when burned by such a flame.
At this moment, seeing that the Weird Immortal Emperor's Dao fruit was about to completely disintegrate under the煅燒 of the Sacrificial Dao fire, Shi Hao, Ye Fan, and the Ruthless person made their moves.
At this moment, the sky was filled with scattering Great Dao flowers, incredibly crystal clear. Every petal flowed with the supreme Immortal Emperor aura.
A phantom of the Ruthless person walked out from each petal. She formed supreme Dharma seals with her hands, and countless Immortal Dao radiance flew out, merging into the Weird Immortal Emperor's Dao fruit that was about to collapse and disintegrate.
The immortal light was brilliant. The Weird Immortal Emperor's Dao fruit, which was originally on the verge of collapse, actually temporarily stabilized.
The effect of the accelerated Time flow in the All Heavens World had no effect on them. The All Heavens World could not affect Immortal Emperors, nor could it affect Fang Ming, its master.
Time flowed, and the scene was completely silent. This calm scene did not last too long, only for a thousand years.
After a thousand years, the Sacrificial Dao flame, which was already burning extremely fiercely, suddenly became extremely explosive, instantly enveloping the entire altar.
Visibly, in the firelight that surpassed the limit, transcended the World, and leaped out of eternity, the altar, including the temple on the altar where Fang Ming's split bodies were located, instantly disappeared, swallowed by the Sacrificial Dao fire.
That firelight was too fierce, incredibly fierce!
In just an instant, everything disappeared. The altar, the temple, the Immortal Emperor's Dao fruit, everything ceased to exist!
At this moment, all fluctuations disappeared. His Five Great Split Bodies seemed as if they had never existed. Fang Ming even felt that this was not sacrificing a weapon, but truly sacrificing the Dao!
However, after seeing the countless undamaged Sacrificial Dao patterns beneath the disappeared altar, he knew that this was not true Sacrificial Dao.
“The danger of true Sacrificial Dao seems to far exceed my imagination!” Fang Ming was surprised in his heart as he looked at the undamaged Sacrificial Dao patterns beneath the disappeared altar.
Fang Ming was not in a hurry and waited patiently.
After another thousand years, a point of light appeared in each of the places where the five altars had disappeared. Then the points of light expanded, and his five split bodies reappeared in the places where the altars had disappeared.
They succeeded!
As Fang Ming's split bodies appeared, the temple that enveloped Fang Ming collapsed layer by layer and instantly disappeared.
In an instant, Fang Ming felt that he possessed incredible power, so strong that he couldn't believe it!
“Is this the embryonic form of the Immortal Emperor's Dao fruit achieved by cultivating based on my system?”
His Five Great Split Bodies manifested, and Fang Ming felt the changes in the All Heavens World, showing an expression of disbelief.
Immediately, their All Heavens World infinitely evolved, giving birth to countless Great Worlds, and even supreme Great Worlds like the Upper Realm, which surpassed the Great Worlds, were born within them.
Great Worlds were like the Soul River, containing countless Great Chiliocosms. And the supreme Great Worlds that surpassed the Great Worlds contained countless Great Worlds.
He could feel that he was only a little short of becoming a primal land of his own, becoming a supreme Dao of his own, and attaining the Immortal Emperor's Dao fruit.
In addition to countless Great Worlds and supreme Great Worlds that surpassed the Great Worlds, within the split bodies' All Heavens World, independent Time rivers and independent Time systems had already been born, operating independently and unaffected by the outside world.
It was probably a similar logic for the All Heavens and the Upper Realm that Ye Fan, Shi Hao, and others wanted to reshape.
In addition, some Dao seas had already taken shape, such as Time and World, but countless Dao seas such as destiny, karma, Time, and nirvana had not truly taken shape.
After all, his split bodies at present were not true Immortal Emperors, but merely 'embryonic forms of the Immortal Emperor's Dao fruit' that Shi Hao and Ye Fan and others had forcefully created.
As his thoughts turned, Fang Ming found that there was no influence between the main body and the split bodies. The consciousness of the split bodies was him, and the consciousness of the main body was also him.
This was a strange experience. The consciousness of the split bodies was extremely powerful, reaching the Immortal Emperor level.
However, at the same time, the main body was only an Immortal King. He simultaneously had two senses and two different perspectives, which was a rather novel experience.
At this time, Ye Fan spoke with a smile: “Fellow Daoist, what do you think?”
“Unprecedentedly good!” Fang Ming himself smiled and said, “I never thought that I would experience a feeling close to that of an Immortal Emperor while still an Immortal King. I must be the first person in history to have such an experience!”
“If Fellow Daoist's cultivation speed isn't faster, you might experience the feeling of an Immortal Emperor in the Immortal King realm in the future.” At this time, Shi Hao walked over and said half-jokingly.
“This…” Fang Ming was speechless, waved his hand, and said, “It won't be that bad, Fellow Daoists, it shouldn't be that fast.”
As he spoke, he showed a thoughtful expression, looked at the few people, and asked: “In your opinion, what is the next step for my system to advance? Is it to perfect those special places, allow countless Great Dao seas to be born, and thus make my All Heavens World a primal land of its own, becoming a supreme Dao of its own?”
Everyone present was an Immortal Emperor. It was best to ask questions at this time.
“Fellow Daoist, your focus is wrong.” Shi Hao spoke and said, “The focus should be on expanding your own Great Dao, making it comparable to the supreme Dao. When you surpass the Dao yourself, Fellow Daoist will understand what an Immortal Emperor is. After surpassing the Dao yourself, you can have as many Dao seas as you want, and you can evolve them however you want.”
“That's right.” Ye Fan also nodded and said, “If Fellow Daoist focuses on perfecting the special places in your own All Heavens World, and even on opening up special places, then Fellow Daoist will never be able to achieve the Immortal Emperor. This is completely different.”
“I have seen those Dao seas before, and they left a very deep impression on me. Aren't they things at the Immortal Emperor level?” Fang Ming looked at them in confusion.
“They are indeed things at the Immortal Emperor level, and they are not weak.” Ye Fan nodded, then changed the subject and said, “But one, two, three, four, thousands of Dao seas cannot make one an Immortal Emperor, even if they themselves also contain various Great Dao.”
He looked at Fang Ming very seriously: “Fellow Daoist can understand the supreme Dao in this way: it is constructed from countless Dao seas. As long as the number of Dao seas cultivated by Fellow Daoist is limited, it will not qualitatively change into an Immortal Emperor!”
“So that's how it is…” Fang Ming murmured in a low voice, his heart suddenly enlightened.
He finally understood the meaning of Shi Hao's words just now.
The focus was not on perfecting those embryonic Dao seas, nor on finding ways to open up other Dao seas, and certainly not on opening up more supreme Great Worlds.
For his current split bodies, what was needed was to expand his own Great Dao!
As long as his own Great Dao was expanded, supreme Great Worlds would naturally be born along with it, and Dao seas would appear.
At the same time, he also understood why the Dao of the few people present could not be summarized by a certain Great Dao.
Because it was too complex, with all streams flowing into one, extremely intricate, with no adjectives to describe it.
Even for the Original Immortal Emperor, the 'Original' he obtained did not refer to a single Great Dao named Original, but to the Dao fruit he comprehended and attained from countless original root state Dao.
He obtained the essence of countless Great Dao that were in their most original state and had not been altered.
As for Wu Shi, it was no exception. With Time and space as the core, he evolved the beginning and the end, and with this as the core, he infinitely expanded and extended. After extreme evolution, he leaped out of the beginning and the end, and only then did he become an Immortal Emperor.
Moreover, his 'beginning' and 'end' also had the meaning of encompassing everything, not to mention that he later leaped out of the original constraints.
“In that case, my previous actions indeed set limits for my split bodies.” Fang Ming said with a slight sigh.
“That's not entirely true.” Shi Hao shook his head and said calmly, “In the beginning, most people cultivated in this way. They all comprehended a certain segment of the supreme Dao, and thus there were various Great Dao such as 'karma, destiny, Chaos', and so on.”
“When one day they become enlightened, they will infinitely expand and extend their limited Dao, see the whole picture, and become 'Dao' themselves.” He said with a smile.
Therefore, this cannot be said to be a wrong way of cultivation.
On the contrary, from point to line, from line to surface, from surface to form, and then infinitely expanding the form, this is one of the most orthodox ways of cultivation.
“As for how to make the limited evolve into the infinite, that depends on Fellow Daoist's comprehension. The profoundness of it is not universally applicable.” Shi Hao's eyes swept over Fang Ming's All Heavens World and said, “However, since Fellow Daoist can walk such a path, comprehension is definitely not a problem, and with our help, achieving the Immortal Emperor can basically be said to be a sure thing.”
Fang Ming looked at the few people present, cupped his fists and bowed, and said with a smile: “I will need the help of Fellow Daoists in the future.”
The few people present also cupped their fists and bowed, and said with a smile: “It should be so!”
After the successful weapon sacrifice, Shi Hao, Ye Fan, and others returned to their respective foundation Worlds, striving to recover in the shortest possible Time, and then project the All Heavens and the Upper Realm.
Subsequently, they also had to cultivate the second Immortal Emperor's Dao fruit as quickly as possible, and then sacrifice the Dao once again.
