Man is in the heavens, parasitic on the way

Chapter 162 Reincarnation

The disturbance subsided, and the continent where the battle took place was not too heavily damaged.

That island was originally one of the core battlegrounds of the Immortal Ancient great war, and was special in itself. The location of the battle just now also had an undying great formation, which was only completely destroyed during the final strike.

Coupled with Ci Shen Fang Ming's deliberate guidance of his power towards the starry sky, that piece of continent was not too heavily damaged.

On a flattened mountain peak, the Second Elder of Heavenly God Academy respectfully bowed and said, "Greetings, Senior Eternals."

"No need to be polite," Ci Shen Fang Ming shook his head, looked at the main body Fang Ming, and said, "This is the true self; I am merely a split body."

Speaking of himself, he showed no unusual expression.

Instantly, the few people present all showed surprise; they had not expected such a situation at all.

There were not many people present, only a few Elders from Heavenly God Academy and Shi Hao.

The others had all been sent away for training, as training was their purpose for coming here.

"Senior's Dao is profound and unfathomable. You retrieved the Qiankun Bag. We are filled with admiration," the Second Elder of Heavenly God Academy cupped his hands and bowed.

"Perhaps it wasn't through a normal method of becoming Immortal," at this moment, they also gained some understanding in their hearts.

There was more than one path to becoming Immortal; other methods were not necessarily unfeasible.

If one was lucky enough, obtaining certain special Immortal Medicine, it was not impossible to become Immortal using Immortal Medicine.

"Perhaps this Senior was lucky and obtained a stalk of Immortal Medicine that could allow one to become Immortal," thinking of this, a sense of disappointment inexplicably arose in their hearts.

Becoming Immortal through Immortal Medicine, although still an Eternals, their strength could not be compared with a normal True Immortal, and it would not be of much benefit to the overall situation.

"Even if it's becoming Immortal through Immortal Medicine, they are still a True Immortal after all, which at least gives the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths a level of power at the Immortal Dao tier," they thought this.

Not far away, the World Great Dao Ancient Tree swayed, and Fang Ming calmly said, "Relying on the power of a magic artifact is not worth mentioning."

As the Dao tree swayed, Shi Hao felt himself being locked onto by a gaze, and then he heard a voice ring out, "You really gave up your second Supreme bone!"

When he came to the Upper Realm, Shi Hao was still pondering his direction, and now he saw that it was indeed the case.

"Hehe~" Hearing this, Shi Hao scratched his head and smiled, saying, "Isn't this me imitating Senior and Liu Shen? Senior cut off his Dao Fruit and re-cultivated; what is this mere Supreme bone of mine considered?"

As soon as Shi Hao said this, the hearts of the few Elders present were startled; the amount of information in this sentence was too great!

This Senior, whom Shi Hao called 'Xuan Tian', had once cut off his Dao Fruit and seemed to have re-cultivated to his current astonishing level in a short period of time.

They could sense the kind of power within this Great Dao Ancient Tree that could easily destroy galaxies and annihilate endless star systems!

That kind of power was only half a step away from the Immortal Dao tier, similar to the power of the Great Elder of Heavenly God Academy.

"Doesn't this mean that this Senior was at least an existence at the Immortal Dao tier?" They exchanged glances, each seeing the meaning in the other's eyes.

At the same time, their hearts were filled with joy; the re-cultivation of a mighty figure was bound to be extraordinary.

This meant that he would soon return to his peak, and if he could take another step forward, he would be an incredible existence.

"No wonder I don't know who 'Xuan Tian' is; perhaps he is a mighty figure from the Immortal Ancient Era who has undergone Nirvana and taken on a new name," the Second Elder of Heavenly God Academy had a guess in his heart.

"But who is that existence named 'Liu Shen'? To be placed alongside this child and mentioned in the same breath, she must be an existence of the same level!" Then, many doubts arose in his heart.

"Everyone's path is different; there's no need to imitate. Walking your own path is the correct way," Fang Ming said seriously.

Shi Hao nodded quite seriously upon hearing this, saying, "Recently, I have also been thinking about my path forward, but I haven't had any clear direction yet."

"Don't rush; this kind of thing cannot be rushed," Fang Ming said calmly.

"I know. After reaching Heavenly God is when the major choices need to be made," Shi Hao nodded.

Just at this moment, after the few Elders exchanged glances, the Second Elder of Heavenly God Academy cautiously asked, "Senior, may I ask which Senior the 'Liu Shen' mentioned by this child Shi Hao is?"

"You will soon know who it is; it won't be long now," Fang Ming said meaningfully.

Calculating the time, at this point, Liu Shen should also be close to fully recovering.

Once Liu Shen recovers, she will certainly not sit idly by given the current situation in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths; it will be impossible to hide it even if they wanted to.

Fang Ming would not talk much about her matters with outsiders.

Hearing this, the few Elders present looked at each other, and a glimmer of inexplicable joy arose in their hearts.

"You can go and train yourselves; I will go to the core area," as Fang Ming's words fell, he and Ci Shen Fang Ming disappeared.

According to Liu Shen, there might be remnants of the legendary Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill in the core area here.

This was also a special place close to the Dao, with an Immortal Platform. Those with profound good fortune, upon ascending the Immortal Platform, could obtain great opportunities.

Of course, after seeing Shi Hao, Fang Ming only then knew what kind of place this was.

Essentially, at its core, it was actually a special teleportation great formation, teleporting people to different places.

Those with profound good fortune, like Shi Hao, entered an unknown place, saw the River of Time, obtained the true meaning of Immortal Ancient Dao methods, and experienced a special reincarnation.

Those with insufficient good fortune would only get some pill dregs and their own body would only undergo a single baptism.

Those slightly better off might also obtain Immortal Dao scriptures and Immortal Dao inheritances.

Immortal light flashed, and Fang Ming and Ci Shen appeared before a vast ruin.

This was a boundless ruin, with broken walls and remnants, once an extremely prosperous Immortal Palace.

The broken ruins still had undying Dao fluctuations spreading even now, with glowing Immortal Dao patterns.

In the center of the ruins, an ancient, broken Immortal Platform stood like a half-decayed mountain body, dark and heavy, very oppressive.

The Great Dao Ancient Tree swayed slightly, and Dao fluctuations spread like ripples, instantly covering the entire ruined area.

Large areas of faint light immediately rose from this ruined area, as if responding to Fang Ming's investigation.

However, apart from this, no other anomalies appeared.

Similarly, Immortal light also spread from Ci Shen Fang Ming's body, investigating something.

After a while, the Dao waves disappeared, and Fang Ming said to Ci Shen, "Did you find anything?"

"No," Ci Shen Fang Ming shook his head and said, "I didn't find anything at all, only a faint intuition telling me that this place is not simple, but I couldn't find anything upon investigation."

Fang Ming pondered for a moment and said, "I see."

Then, he said, "I'll try ascending the platform later; you protect my Dao."

"Alright," Ci Shen Fang Ming nodded.

This was a special place close to the Dao. According to the information given by Liu Shen, it possessed some kind of divine peculiarity related to Time and reincarnation, making it very special.

Generally speaking, only great worlds like Immortal Domain, Other Realm, and Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, which had merged numerous super Great Chiliocosm Universes, would give birth to such special places close to the Dao.

For instance, a certain place close to the Dao in Immortal Domain was known as being connected to the heavens, spirits, and ancient and modern times, possessing immeasurable abilities.

In fact, that place could allow people to undergo reincarnation while alive, returning to the past and truly changing a period of history!

Upon ascending the Immortal Platform, Fang Ming did not disappear like those who had ascended the platform in the past, but remained atop it.

"What is the meaning of this!?" Although he was somewhat prepared, Fang Ming couldn't help but mutter.

The Great Dao Ancient Tree swayed, and a half-disk accompanied by chaotic energy descended.

The Reincarnation Disk appeared, and the meaning of the Six Paths of Reincarnation spread and emerged, enveloping the entire platform and extending towards this ruined area.

The Six Paths of the world revolved, but no anomalies appeared.

"It's not it!" Within the Dao Tree's inner world, Fang Ming shook his head.

With a thought, another item appeared.

This Dao Bell, surrounded by fragments of light and Time, had two ancient Dao characters inscribed on it. One of them, clearly visible, was named 'Wu', and the other Dao character was already blurred and unrecognizable.

This was the Dao Bell of Wu Zhong Immortal King.

When this Dao Bell appeared, the bell chimed with a deafening roar, as if Time at this moment wanted to turn back to the past.

The light and Time here became chaotic, and Time fragments flew, yet no anomalies appeared. These were all anomalies inherent to the Immortal King's artifact itself, and they failed to stimulate the inherent extraordinary nature of this place.

"It's not it either!" Fang Ming frowned, "What is the trigger?"

Some places close to the Dao require a special 'trigger' to activate and exhibit their effects, such as the 'Heaven-Connecting Place' in the Immortal Realm, where different 'triggers' produce different effects.

Shi Hao used his future Emperor's blood as a trigger, allowing him to return to the Emperor Fall era and gain hundreds of thousands of years of Time, which was truly heaven-defying.

Fang Ming came here with a similar idea in mind.

After all, it was explicitly mentioned here that someone was lost in the River of Time, and Shi Hao also saw the River of Time, as well as the ancient hall of reception suspended above the River of Time.

Looking at the white paper boat, original gate, half Reincarnation Disk, Wu Zhong Dao Bell, and other items beside him, Fang Ming sighed, "It seems I don't have Shi Hao's luck."

Of course, it was also possible that this place close to the Dao in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths was not as powerful as the 'Heaven-Connecting Place' in the Immortal Domain, which could allow physical reincarnation.

Within the Dao Tree's inner world, Fang Ming looked at the huangquan fruit in front of him, sighed faintly, and recalled the white paper boat and original gate from outside.

Since this place close to the Dao had no effect on him, he would just have to try the huangquan fruit.

It didn't matter if he reincarnated into a great world where cultivation was impossible; at worst, it would just be a wondrous journey, treated as cultivation for his Nascent Soul.

Opening his mouth and inhaling, the golden fruit, enveloped in yellow light, turned into a stream of light and was swallowed by him.

Instantly, countless lines of light intertwined, and a strange power emerged, similar to the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk, but much more profound. Dao fluctuations appeared out of thin air.

In a moment, his Nascent Soul was pulled by this power, wrapped in true reincarnation Dao light, and fell towards a vast, boundless yellow sea of reincarnation Dao.

Just by falling downwards, he felt his consciousness becoming muddled!

"Not... good..." Things had gone beyond expectation, not as he had anticipated. Fang Ming wanted to resist this power.

However, this power of reincarnation was so terrifying, far beyond what he could contend with. This was the reincarnation huangquan sea of billions of endless beings in the heavens.

Just as Fang Ming was about to completely fall into the reincarnation huangquan Dao sea and his consciousness was completely muddled, an unexpected change occurred. A ray of Immortal light materialized out of thin air, and a three-zhang white small boat appeared, steadily catching his Nascent Soul, preventing him from truly falling into this huangquan sea.

The three-zhang small boat emitted a faint Immortal light. Before Fang Ming's consciousness had fully recovered, it had already plunged into a colossal, boundless reincarnation vortex.
