Man is in the heavens, parasitic on the way

Chapter 112 'Dongtian Realm'

"So that's how it is. If Shi Hao can also comprehend this profound Dao mystery, merging his Ten Cave Heavens into one won't be a problem!" Fang Ming realized in his heart.

It's a pity that Shi Hao's current cultivation level is too low, and he hasn't fully comprehended this profound Dao mystery. Therefore, he has only managed to open up a special 'physical body Cave Heaven'.

However, this is only a temporary lack of discovery. In the future, as his cultivation increases, he will eventually discover the profound mysteries within.

As expected, a violent roar came. The vast Cave Heavens, which were connected together, couldn't truly merge. They collided fiercely with each other, and then the ten Cave Heavens separated with a bang, scattering in different directions.

As it evolved to the end, his Ten Cave Heavens constantly melted down. After complex merging, the ten Cave Heavens connected with each other, forming a magnificent divine ring. Furthermore, at the location of his physical body Supreme bone, centered on him, he evolved a special physical body Cave Heaven.

It was almost equivalent to opening up the eleventh Cave Heaven. Although the physical body Cave Heaven was somewhat special, it was still a Cave Heaven.

Eleven Cave Heavens, this was indeed an unparalleled achievement in the world.

If the previous ten Supreme Cave Heavens might have been achieved by other prodigies in this era, then this eleventh Cave Heaven was truly 'unparalleled'.

"I lost!" The finger-joint-sized bone Ta trembled slightly, as if sighing. "I didn't expect this Bear Child to achieve such an accomplishment in the Cave Heaven realm. It is truly unparalleled in the world."

"Tower Brother, my judgment of people isn't bad, is it?" Fang Ming asked with a chuckle.

"It is indeed not bad. This Bear Child has infinite potential and the potential to become an unparalleled expert!" Little Pagoda sighed.

In the distance, the people of Stone Village who were watching were already stunned!

They didn't know what this meant, they just knew that this child from their Stone Village was going against the heavens.

"This time, it's really the rhythm of scaring ancient great experts to death, right?" Old Two Bald muttered. "Counting them, it's eleven Cave Heavens. I'm afraid it's an unprecedented achievement."

"Maybe it really could be the rhythm of scaring ancient great experts to death." Big Red Bird chuckled awkwardly.

Just now, they also heard Little Pagoda's voice. Obviously, it lost the bet.

The five-colored immortal essence still cascaded down like a waterfall. Shi Hao was still sitting with his eyes closed, deep in thought. He seemed to be contemplating a very important question.

After a long period of contemplation, Shi Hao opened his tightly closed eyes, turned his head to look at Liu Shen behind him, and asked curiously, "Liu Shen, have there ever been people like me who opened up a physical body Cave Heaven in the past?"

"Perhaps there have, perhaps there haven't." Liu Shen spoke, saying, "It's very good that you have this idea. The rest is not so important."

"It's already very good that you have achieved this step." It said, full of praise.

"I understand." Shi Hao nodded and asked again, "Liu Shen, I want to go further and merge the Ten Cave Heavens to form a single Cave Heaven. Do you have any suggestions, Liu Shen?"

"Directly merging the ten Cave Heavens just now definitely won't work. It's a wrong path. The key might lie in your physical body Cave Heaven. This requires you to comprehend it yourself." Liu Shen said calmly.

Obviously, it wasn't just Fang Ming who saw the key. Now that its strength had recovered significantly, it also saw the crucial point.

"Physical body Cave Heaven?" Shi Hao's eyes lit up, and he muttered to himself, "Could it be that I need to use the physical body Cave Heaven as the core and then melt down the other ten Cave Heavens?"

Liu Shen remained silent. Cultivation is a very selfish matter. Others' suggestions may not necessarily be applicable. One needs to walk their own path.

Shi Hao's eyes darted around, looking at the finger-joint-sized seed suspended in the air nearby, like a world, and asked, "Xuantian Senior, I wonder if you have any opinions?"

"Your idea is correct, but it is very dangerous. My suggestion is to wait until your cultivation level increases in the future before attempting it." Fang Ming said.

At Shi Hao's current level, merging the Ten Cave Heavens is indeed very dangerous, and the chance of success is almost zero.

Once it fails, he will be half-crippled, and it will be relatively difficult to recover.

"I understand." Shi Hao nodded, feeling a little happy.

"Alright, the baptism ends here. You are truly excellent." Liu Shen's voice sounded.

Subsequently, the immortal essence that cascaded like a waterfall disappeared, and the golden-glowing emerald green branches retracted. The area returned to normal.

"In the future, I will re-evolve the Cave Heavens at an appropriate time. I must walk a truly unique path!" Shi Hao clenched his fist, full of determination.

On this day, the entire Stone Village was immersed in a festive atmosphere. People sang and danced, their hearts filled with immense joy.

Still at the entrance of Stone Village, the finger-joint-sized seed, like a miniature world, stood on the bluestone not far from the Willow Tree.

Inside the seed world, above the sky, stars twinkled endlessly. On the ground, sacred spiritual mountains stood tall, vast and boundless rivers stretched, and countless lifelike phantoms shuttled back and forth.

Fang Ming sat cross-legged in the center of the world, carefully savoring the profound Dao mysteries he had captured when Shi Hao opened up the ten Cave Heavens earlier.

After a long while, he opened his eyes and whispered, "It's time to take the crucial step for me!"

After making his decision, Fang Ming spoke to Liu Shen, saying, "I would like to ask Fellow Daoist to conceal me for a while. I am about to take a crucial step in my own path, and there might be a great commotion."

Under the night sky, the branches of the Willow Tree at the village entrance were lush, with a faint golden glow rising.

Liu Shen's calm voice came, saying, "Fellow Daoist, just walk your own path. The anomalies will not spread out."

As the words fell, invisible and formless Dao waves spread out.

A certain wondrous change occurred in the entire Stone Village.

After receiving Liu Shen's response, Fang Ming's heart stirred, and he immediately began.

The finger-joint-sized seed slowly ascended, and an unspeakable Dao aura spread out.

Countless runes surged out from the finger-joint-sized seed.

The Dao runes spread out like a vast ocean, instantly extending outwards, reaching far and wide, not knowing how many thousands of miles it spanned.

However, the villagers of Stone Village were completely unaware of this, as if they hadn't noticed anything.

Not only the villagers of Stone Village, but even the fierce beasts in the Great Wasteland were oblivious.

In fact, the space at the entrance of Stone Village had already been magnified by Liu Shen's divine abilities by an unknown number of times.

This place had already become a world of its own, vast and boundless, no smaller than the starry sky of the Lower Realm!

The boundless Dao runes spread out. This place seemed to have become the origin of the Dao. The divine sound of the Dao roared, resounding throughout the heavens and earth.

"What is that guy doing?" A white light pierced through the air. The finger-joint-sized bone Ta sensed the abnormality and immediately came soaring through the air.

"Profound Heaven Fellow Daoist intends to take a crucial step in his own path." Liu Shen explained.

"He's going to take another step so quickly?" Little Pagoda was surprised, thinking to itself, "He just re-evolved two realms earlier, and now he's going to have another breakthrough? This speed is too fast!"

Then it hung in the distance, its spirit highly focused, observing carefully.

Endless Dao runes filled the heavens and earth. This place turned into an ocean of Dao.

"The type of Dao runes he created is incredible." Little Pagoda was surprised in its heart.

Suddenly, Dao fluctuations came from the sky. A vast and boundless invisible vortex appeared, and all the Dao runes were constantly swallowed by the vortex like flowing water.

As countless Dao runes were swallowed by the vortex, the invisible vortex gradually became clearer, solidifying little by little.

It was a giant vortex, like chaos, extremely vast, spanning tens of thousands of miles.

At the center of the vortex, chaotic energy permeated, as if connecting to true chaos.

'Bang bang ~' Regular rhythmic sounds spread from the center of the vortex.

Along with the muffled sounds, the giant vortex shrunk and expanded, as if it were breathing.

"Boom!"

A violent roaring Dao sound exploded from the vortex, spreading throughout the heavens and earth. The center of the vortex exploded, and boundless chaotic energy spread out.

Then, a vast world appeared after the great explosion of the chaotic vortex.

In that world, above, the star rivers were brilliant and boundless; on the ground, immortal mountains were endless, and divine rivers stretched infinitely.

Within the starry sky, immortal mountains, and divine rivers, gods and supreme treasures were being nurtured in various Dao sacred lands.

"This is?!" The finger-joint-sized bone Ta trembled. Seeing this scene, it was shocked in its heart.

"This is not a Cave Heaven in the usual sense. This is a true 'Cave Heaven'!" Streaks of green light flashed, and Liu Shen was surprised in its heart.

This was indeed a real and not false Cave Heaven, not the 'Cave Heaven' in the cultivation system of this realm.

The Cave Heavens in this realm, although called Cave Heavens, were not the kind of Cave Heaven worlds that people understood.

At this moment, countless auspicious energies descended from the sky, countless Dao flowers emerged from the void, and the Dao sound roared, resounding throughout the heavens and earth.

"This is his path?" Little Pagoda's body flickered with light, and it began to deduce.

"I seem to have guessed the path of Profound Heaven Fellow Daoist!" A faint golden glow flashed on Liu Shen's body, and its heart was hard to calm.

In the inner world, Fang Ming couldn't help but reveal a smile, full of joy. He had successfully taken the crucial step.

"With my current accumulation, one Cave Heaven is just the beginning!" Fang Ming thought to himself.

With a shift in thought, he continued to immerse himself.

Outside, violent roaring sounds came from the sky. That vast Cave Heaven world moved and shifted, making room.

Countless Dao runes once again surged out from the finger-joint-sized seed. In just an instant, they filled the sky again, turning into an ocean of Dao runes.

Then, another giant vortex appeared. The Dao flowed, and chaos was nurtured.

With a violent sound, the chaotic vortex shattered, and a vast Cave Heaven world appeared.

This Cave Heaven was different from the previous one. It was exceptionally vast, but within the Cave Heaven, starlight flickered, clearly an endless star river.

In the inner world, Fang Ming opened his eyes and calmly muttered to himself, "Simple!"

With a shift in thought, this Cave Heaven world moved, hanging to one side, parallel to the first Cave Heaven.

In a moment, Dao runes filled the sky, and a chaotic vortex appeared.

Roaring sounds spread, and another vast and real Cave Heaven appeared.

Just like this, Fang Ming continuously opened them, one after another, opening ten real Cave Heavens in one go.

Ten real Cave Heavens hung high in the sky, like the heavenly realm in myths and legends appearing here.

Countless auspicious energies surged out. The ten Cave Heavens were like ten vast worlds descending from the distant void.

"Tsk ~ What an amazing path!" Little Pagoda exclaimed, whispering with a hint of curiosity, "I'm really curious how his path will develop next? Will he continue to delve deeper into the Cave Heaven, or will he seek to open up other realms?"

"The Cave Heaven realm opened up by Profound Heaven Fellow Daoist has vast and boundless potential. It has truly evolved the true meaning of the Cave Heaven realm." Liu Shen spoke, its heart unable to find peace. "In my opinion, Profound Heaven Fellow Daoist will continue to delve deeper into the potential of the Cave Heaven!"

"The potential of the real Cave Heaven is too great. Just thinking about it is exciting. Ahead is definitely a bright path!" Liu Shen's voice carried a hint of emotion.

"Yes, if it were me, I would also choose to delve deeper and develop further on the foundation of the Cave Heaven!" Little Pagoda's body flickered with light, indicating agreement.

At this time, the sky rumbled. The ten vast Cave Heavens rotated, continuing to make large spaces.

Familiar Dao runes surged out, once again filling this part of the world.

"That guy can still open up Cave Heavens?" Little Pagoda was startled, somewhat in disbelief.

Liu Shen's golden-glowing branches swayed, its heart quite restless.

A vortex appeared, absorbing all the Dao runes, forming chaos at the center of the vortex.

Then, an incomparably explosive roaring sound spread, and the chaotic vortex split into pieces, shattering on the spot.

The storm of destruction spread, the sky collapsed, the void shattered inch by inch, chaotic energy spread, and the aura of annihilating all things impacted, causing everything in its path to perish.

Below, Liu Shen's golden-glowing branches shot up into the sky, stabilizing this destructive storm and dissolving the destructive divine light that annihilated all things.

The chaotic energy dispersed, and the expected Cave Heaven world did not appear in the sky.

Clearly, Fang Ming had failed.

"Failed?" Little Pagoda was astonished.

With that kind of momentum just now, it even thought Fang Ming was bound to succeed.

That appearance, moving forward without hesitation, anyone would think he had a great deal of confidence.

"Failure is normal." Liu Shen spoke, saying, "The basis for Profound Heaven Fellow Daoist opening up Cave Heavens is still the 'Cave Heaven' realm of the current system. It is evolved based on the profound Dao mysteries of this extreme state."

"Based on the true meaning of the Cave Heaven Dao of this system, the real Cave Heavens sublimated from this will also be limited by the number 'ten'." Liu Shen explained.

In the inner world, Fang Ming sighed and muttered to himself, "As expected, it won't work!"

Just as Liu Shen said, his Cave Heavens were deduced based on the true meaning of the Cave Heaven realm Dao of the current cultivation system, and naturally, they would be subject to corresponding limitations and could not be opened up indefinitely.

The reason he was able to open up real Cave Heavens was precisely because when he observed Shi Hao reconstructing his Cave Heavens that day, he captured the crucial true meaning of the Dao for opening up Cave Heavens during that process.

He used this as a foundation, combined with his own Dao, to be able to open up these ten real Cave Heavens.

But he achieved this, and was also limited by this.

Regarding breaking this constraint, he had no ideas yet, at least he couldn't see the direction it was in now.

"Well, ten Cave Heavens it is. Having too many Cave Heavens may not be a good thing." Fang Ming thought to himself.

The crucial step has been taken. The next thing to do is very simple.

That is to upgrade these ten Cave Heavens, from Cave Heaven to Small World, Small World to Small Thousand World, Middle Thousand World, and even Great Thousand World.

By continuously upgrading in this manner, the path ahead is already clear. He just needs to take it step by step.
