I Can Traverse Multiple Worlds

Before the bronze doors.

Wang Xiao listened to the voice coming from within the doors, and his eyes flickered.

’Neither Buddhist nor Daoist; neither human, nor fiend, nor demon... Is it talking about me?!’

’And what did it mean by "the gods’ creation of the world in Ancient Times"?’

As Wang Xiao pondered, the voice from inside spoke again.

"A Primordial Spirit nurtured by Heaven and Earth. I take it you are the help my second son brought back. Come in."

Li Tianhe looked at Wang Xiao and said,

"Brother Wang, go on in. I will wait for you out here."

After he spoke, he added via voice transmission,

"Brother Wang, ever since Imperial Father failed his tribulation, his mind has not been entirely clear. If he acts strangely in a moment, please pay it no mind."

Wang Xiao nodded slightly and walked slowly through the bronze doors.

He knew the greatest difference between this world and the Real World:

to advance beyond the Fate-Knowing Realm, one had to start undergoing tribulations.

For example, passing the Buddhist Sect’s Infinite Tribulation led to the Infinite Realm.

Passing the Daoist Sect’s Silent Extinction Tribulation led to the Silent Extinction Realm.

And passing the Demon Sect’s Celestial Demon Tribulation led to the Celestial Demon Realm.

All three of these realms were equivalent to a Tier Eight Life form.

The names of the realms simply differed because the methods for their respective tribulations were not the same.

After a Tier Eight Life form successfully passed a tribulation, they had to continue undergoing them to advance further.

Examples included the Buddhist Sect’s Nirvana Tribulation, the Daoist Sect’s Non-action Tribulation, and the Demon Sect’s Immortal Tribulation.

Passing a tribulation wasn’t a one-and-done affair that let you rest on your laurels.

Instead, the same tribulation could return every thousand or even every hundred years.

Failure to pass it would drastically reduce one’s lifespan, and could even lead to death.

The difficulty was ten, even a hundred times greater than the tribulation Wang Xiao had faced during his own Limit Breaking!

Because the people of this world used different Cultivation Techniques, the tribulations they faced also varied.

The royal family of the Great Li Dynasty, for instance, had its own unique system.

A cultivator at the Fate-Knowing Realm would advance to the Saint King Realm after passing the Saint King Tribulation nine times.

After passing the Saint King Tribulations, one would then have to face the Celestial King Tribulation.

The current Jade Emperor of the Great Li Dynasty was still at the Saint King Realm.

However, it was said that he had failed his Celestial King Tribulation and had been unable to become a Celestial King.

As a result, he had very little lifespan remaining.

As these thoughts ran through Wang Xiao’s mind, he arrived inside the Bronze Great Hall.

The moment he stepped inside, the bronze doors of the hall slammed shut with a RUMBLE.

In the very center of the Bronze Great Hall stood a massive altar.

In the center of the altar, a middle-aged man sat upon a golden dragon throne. He was dressed in a Dragon Robe, wore a golden Crown and Tassels, golden boots, and a jeweled belt at his waist.

His entire being exuded an aura of supreme majesty, and the purple qi surrounding his body surged toward the heavens.

It was more than ten times denser than Li Tianhe’s!

This was a man who had truly gathered immeasurable Destiny unto himself.

Having fought Li Tianhe before, Wang Xiao naturally had some understanding of the Great Li Dynasty’s Cultivation Technique.

This was the very King’s Dao cultivated by the Great Li Dynasty!

To shepherd the masses, establish Dragon Veins, lay a foundation, and gather the Destiny of the world as fuel to temper one’s body.

The wider the territory covered by the Dragon Veins and the larger the population, the more abundant the Destiny.

And the stronger one’s King’s Dao became!

The King’s Dao cultivated by the Great Li Dynasty was even a cut above Cultivation Techniques like the Buddhist Dao.

After all—

Not just anyone could successfully shepherd the masses.

Wang Xiao looked at the middle-aged man before him, and a glint appeared in his eyes.

[Analyzing...]

[Analysis Complete]

[Li Mutian, 98,600 years old. Born on the Southern Continent. He was brilliant from a young age but lost his parents to war and became a beggar. Fortunately, he received guidance from an expert deep in the mountains and began his journey of Cultivation.]

[He later joined the rebellion against the Great Zhou Dynasty during the struggle for supremacy. Within just five hundred years, he broke through to the Fate-Knowing Realm.]

[He then began to recruit heroes from all over the land, pooling resources and knowledge, which caused his power to advance by leaps and bounds.]

[Two thousand years later, he broke through to the Saint King Realm. He led a grand army to overthrow the Great Zhou Dynasty, successfully slew the Emperor of Great Zhou, and established a new dynasty named Great Li, taking the title of Jade Emperor.]

[Thereafter, he ruled with diligence, establishing Cross-Domain Teleportation Arrays throughout the land. He took complete control of the Underworld and became the most powerful figure on the Southern Continent.]

[Over the next ninety-five thousand years, he endured the Celestial King Tribulation nearly one hundred times, and his power was temporarily unmatched.]

[Unfortunately, the opportunity to ascend never came. A thousand years ago, he finally failed to withstand the might of a Saint King Tribulation. His failure caused a massive reduction in his lifespan.]

[His consciousness now occasionally descends into chaos, leaving him unable to distinguish illusion from reality. He schemes to use Marvels to be reborn and live a new life.]

[Future Trajectory: In order to extend his life, he will use a forbidden technique from ancient times. Harnessing the power of his bloodline, he will attempt Reincarnation to escape his doom and live a new life.]

[He will then choose the Eldest Prince as the vessel for his possession and allow the Eldest Prince to inherit the throne. However, his plan will ultimately be discovered by Li Tianhe, leading to a great battle between them.]

[In the end, his forced attempt at Reincarnation will damage both his power and his sanity, leading to his suppression by Li Tianhe.]

Wang Xiao looked at the Jade Emperor, Li Mutian, a faint glimmer in his eyes.

He finally understood why Li Tianhe, despite controlling all of the City Defense Army and most of the Underworld, was still willing to pay the steep price of three Curiosities to win his support!

Perhaps Li Tianhe had also sensed that something was amiss with Li Mutian.

He wanted to borrow Wang Xiao’s power to stand against him!

’The Celestial King Tribulation is truly terrifying... To think it could drive a Tier Eight Life form at the Saint King Realm into mental chaos!’

Wang Xiao mused to himself.

However, he wasn’t particularly surprised.

The Cultivators of this world could break through to high-level Realms without having to refine planets, so it was certain they had to pay a price in other ways.
