I Can Traverse Multiple Worlds

"To think it could cause such a strong reaction from the Book of Space-Time!"

Ripples spread through Wang Xiao’s heart.

He knew that in the past, the Book of Space-Time had never trembled so violently, not even when it encountered Marvels.

In fact, this tremor now carried a clear trace of emotion!

Gazing at the distant Heaven-Supporting Cyan Lotus, Wang Xiao directly used his talent, Analyze All Things.

[Analyzing...]

[Analysis Successful]

[Chaos Cyan Lotus: An Immortal Object from the Unobservable Cosmos. Possesses the trait of immortality. ’Though Heaven and Earth perish, I shall not. Though the cosmos collapses, I will remain.’ Refining it allows one to achieve immortality. Its wondrous uses are endless.]

[Note: If refined by the Book of Space-Time, the book can undergo an initial transformation and activate new abilities.]

’It’s actually an Immortal Object.’

A glint flashed in Wang Xiao’s eyes.

This class was a whole level higher than Marvels.

It might only seem like a one-level gap, but the difference was as vast as that between the heavens and the earth.

Take the region of space where Earth was located, for example.

This region of space was abundant in resources but lacked Cultivation Techniques.

In this part of the cosmos, there were even quite a few Curiosities that beings as powerful as Tier Nine Life would treasure.

There were even some Marvels!

However, Immortal Objects were completely unheard of.

This was even more true for other, resource-poor regions of space.

The appearance of a single Immortal Object could cause even Tier Twelve Supreme Life to come to blows.

This showed just how important Immortal Objects were.

And it was precisely because of this Immortal Object’s power and uniqueness that the information his analysis yielded was so scarce.

There was only a name and a simple description.

Moreover, refining this Chaos Cyan Lotus would allow the Book of Space-Time to undergo an initial transformation and directly activate new abilities.

This was an effect that Marvels could never provide.

No wonder the Book of Space-Time was showing such clear emotion.

’But, looking at it from another angle, since the Book of Space-Time can refine the Chaos Cyan Lotus, it’s obvious the book’s class is higher than the lotus’s!’

’Just what class is this Book of Space-Time?!’

Wang Xiao mused.

He knew that above Immortal Objects, there were only Forbidden Items!

Moreover, the Book of Space-Time was clearly damaged.

What kind of power would it take to damage an item of such a high class?

Wang Xiao’s mind raced, but he didn’t immediately move to refine the Chaos Cyan Lotus.

Because he had already discovered a figure suddenly materializing in the golden Celestial Court atop the Chaos Cyan Lotus!

The figure wore a Crown and Tassels and a golden Dragon Robe embroidered with a Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon, cinched at the waist by an ornate, three-ringed belt of gold and jade.

At his hip hung a sharp sword that seemed wreathed in coiling dragons and crackling with interwoven thunderbolts.

The moment he appeared, it was as if he held all of Heaven and Earth beneath his feet.

His aura was profound, his divine might as oppressive as a steel cage.

His eyes, in particular, seemed to reflect the endless cosmos, exuding an indifference that placed him far above all living beings.

"Is that... the Celestial Emperor?!"

"The rumors were actually true!"

Primordial Void stared at the figure emerging from the Celestial Court, his eyes narrowing sharply.

He was far older than any of the other Daoist Lords present.

As such, he knew many of this world’s secrets.

Legend had it that in ancient times, this world had once been briefly unified.

The peerless expert who achieved this unification called himself the Celestial Emperor!

However, this unification was extremely brief, lasting only a century.

It collapsed and fell into disarray following the Celestial Emperor’s sudden disappearance.

Afterward, the entire world plunged into an era of warring factions, each vying for supremacy and carving up the land for themselves.

This was what gave rise to the present-day Thirty-Six Dao.

For Cultivators, who could live for tens of thousands of years, a century was truly nothing more than the blink of an eye.

As generations came and went, this piece of history became known to very few.

Primordial Void had never imagined that the Celestial Emperor was not yet dead!

Based on his calculations, the Celestial Emperor had to have lived for at least a million years!

It was simply inconceivable.

’Celestial Emperor?!’

Wang Xiao’s eyes narrowed, his gaze piercing the endless Divine Light to rest on the figure atop the Celestial Court.

As if sensing his stare, the figure raised his indifferent eyes, his gaze colliding with Wang Xiao’s.

The mere meeting of their gazes caused the surrounding sea of clouds to churn violently.

Space itself trembled violently, as if a scorching, invisible gale had been stirred up!

[Analyzing...]

[Analysis Successful]

[Celestial Emperor, Ji Chengdao: 1.65 million years old. A Tier Eight Life born in ancient times. Exceptionally intelligent from a young age, he mastered everything he learned and became a Saint within a century, continuing until a Meteor fell from the sky.]

[It carried a not-yet-fully-awakened Immortal Object: the Chaos Cyan Lotus.]

[This unawakened Chaos Cyan Lotus was ultimately obtained by the Celestial Emperor, causing his Power to soar. He surpassed the Saint Realm and entered the ranks of Tier Eight Life.]

[A thousand years later, the Celestial Emperor used Great Divine Techniques to unify Heaven and Earth, becoming the first in all of history to do so. He established the Feather Transformation Divine Dynasty and declared himself the Celestial Emperor.]

[However, his Divine Soul True Spirit was gradually influenced by the Chaos Cyan Lotus, and he began to lose his true self.]

[A hundred years later, the Celestial Emperor used the Chaos Cyan Lotus to create Buzhou Mountain, established the Celestial Court in the firmament, and prepared to reap the world.]

[For the next million years, he led all qualifying Saints into the Celestial Court, absorbing their True Spirits as nourishment for the Chaos Cyan Lotus.]

[The Divine Souls and bodies of these Saints were also influenced and controlled by the Chaos Cyan Lotus, gradually transforming them into puppets.]

[His goal is to wait for a person with immortal potential, then refine them as nourishment to fully awaken the Chaos Cyan Lotus.]

Wang Xiao read the analyzed information, his eyes flickering.

Even though the information wasn’t complete, it was enough for Wang Xiao to understand the sequence of events.

A million years ago, the Celestial Emperor had unintentionally obtained the Chaos Cyan Lotus that arrived with a Meteor.

Unfortunately, his True Spirit was gradually influenced by the Chaos Cyan Lotus.

Although he didn’t become a puppet, he was subtly influenced into wanting to fully awaken the Chaos Cyan Lotus.

And so, he used the Chaos Cyan Lotus to create Buzhou Mountain, establish the Celestial Court, and completely seal off the entire world.

Afterward, he brought qualifying Saints into the Celestial Court, absorbing their True Spirits as nourishment for the Chaos Cyan Lotus.

Unfortunately, this was far from enough.

To fully awaken the Chaos Cyan Lotus, he needed to refine at least one person with immortal potential.

What did it mean to have immortal potential?

The criteria were twofold.

First, one had to be able to refine over a hundred Life Seeds.

Alternatively, one could completely transform the entire world and then slay both the Flesh Body Worm and the Divine Soul Worm.

Which was exactly what Wang Xiao had done before.

Therefore, when the Celestial Emperor sensed that Wang Xiao had slain the two "worms," he dispatched all his Immortal God Puppets to the Lower Realm to harvest the Divine Techniques Golden Cores from the various Daoist Lords and Saints.

The Divine Techniques Golden Cores contained planetary consciousness and Cosmic Spiritual Material.

As they were originally part of the Meteor’s main body, it was only natural that he would want to reclaim them.

Only with a complete Meteor, combined with the refinement of a person with immortal potential, could the Chaos Cyan Lotus be fully awakened.

That was why the Celestial Emperor had previously allowed Cultivators to grow unimpeded—he was hoping to find someone with immortal potential among them.

Once that person appeared, he could reap the harvest of the entire world!

’He’s a Tier Eight Life, but he only reached Tier Eight by relying on the power of the Chaos Cyan Lotus. In terms of actual strength, he might not be any stronger than I am!’

Wang Xiao knew that this battle was now unavoidable.

His opponent wanted to refine him to awaken the Chaos Cyan Lotus.

And he had to defeat his opponent to refine the Chaos Cyan Lotus for himself!

The conflict between them was irreconcilable.

"Wang Xiao. Excellent. I have waited over a million years, and at last, you have arrived!"

Celestial Emperor Ji Chengdao took a single step forward.

RUMBLE!

Endless shockwaves rippled outward.

The Celestial Court beneath his feet actually moved with him.

Or rather, the Celestial Court was a part of him, akin to the Domain of a Tier Seven Life!

As the Celestial Emperor advanced, boundless Star Power flowed around him.

It was as if the entire sky and all its countless stars were about to be shaken loose and come plummeting down.

Wang Xiao, however, was fearless. He stated calmly,

"You pathetic creature. Controlled by an external object without even knowing it. You may have some power, but it is insignificant!"

BOOM!

Amidst a world-shaking roar, the Ninefold Divine Domain appeared behind him, seeming to fill the entire expanse of Heaven and Earth!

Endless divine radiance flowed within it, boundless and surging, magnificent and vast!

Although Ji Chengdao had relied on an external force to reach Tier Eight, he was still a full Great Realm higher than Wang Xiao.

He would not be careless.

The moment he struck, he channeled his greatest power!

In a ten-millionth of an instant, Wang Xiao and Ji Chengdao, wielding the Ninefold Divine Domain and the Celestial Court respectively, crashed into one another.

The brilliant golden light of the Celestial Court and the black-and-white radiance of Wang Xiao’s Tai Chi-based Ninefold Divine Domain erupted violently!

The entire sky seemed to collapse as endless gales swept outward.

Even though Xu Muying, Primordial Void, and the other Daoist Lords were prepared, they were still sent flying back thousands of miles, blood seeping from their bodies.

A clash of this magnitude was far beyond their ability to interfere.

Even being grazed by the aftershocks would leave them severely injured.

"Set up the array! Be ready to lend Fellow Daoist Wang a hand at a moment’s notice!"

Primordial Void’s eyes narrowed.

Their sole purpose for coming here was to deploy the Yin Yang Mixed Cave Infinite Array to aid Wang Xiao.

Even if their power was insignificant in comparison, it might produce an unexpected effect at a critical moment.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

The other Daoist Lords, their Heart Spirits on high alert, instantly moved into position.

The boundless power of the Yin Yang Mixed Cave began to flow forth.

Just as the Daoist Lord of Primordial Void and the others were setting up the array,

RUMBLE!

Wang Xiao and Ji Chengdao had already clashed over a hundred thousand times in the blink of an eye!

Everything for tens of thousands of miles in every direction was reduced to absolute Void.

This was not the Void of shattered space.

Rather, it meant that all the Great Dao Rules in the area had been annihilated, ceasing to exist!

"Excellent! As expected of someone with immortal potential. To unleash such immense power with the body of a Saint... it’s simply inconceivable!"

Star Power flowed around Ji Chengdao, neutralizing all the Great Dao Rules that Wang Xiao brought to bear against him.

"If this is all you’ve got, then you can just die!"

Wang Xiao’s Ninefold Divine Domain shuddered, and the sword-like Celestial Pillar that supported it suddenly lashed out!

It shattered the void and slammed heavily into Ji Chengdao.

BAM!

In an instant, Ji Chengdao’s body blasted apart, reduced to dust!

However, in the next moment, Ji Chengdao’s body instantly reformed, as if he were completely unharmed.

Having cultivated to the level of a Tier Eight Life, he could already achieve Blood Rebirth, making him virtually indestructible!

If he couldn’t be completely obliterated, he would slowly wear his opponent down to death.

"It seems I really can’t take you down without using the Power of the Cyan Lotus."

Ji Chengdao narrowed his eyes.

The moment the words left his mouth,

the towering Chaos Cyan Lotus at his feet, which stretched from the ground to the heavens, began to sway gently, emitting wisps of Chaos Qi.
