Naturally, Taiping Guangmiao True Monarch and others did not want to fight.
They suddenly regained their memories, leaving them collectively bewildered.
But now, gazing at that ancient tree, they couldn't help but feel astonished.
Taiping Guangmiao True Monarch even directly shouted: "Old brother! Big brother! Ancestor... Donghua Daoist True Immortal?"
The ancient tree was silent, without any response.
A gentle breeze came by, causing the leaves to fall, half-withered yet half-thriving, revealing profound mystery.
When the leaves touched the ground, they turned to ashes, opening up a swath of Netherworld.
This was not some small Dragon Court Blessed Land, but another realm altogether.
Netherworld, or that is to say, the Underworld, Earth Realm!
"Today, the Three Realms are defined; Heaven, Earth, and Humanity shall not interfere with one another!"
A clear, cold voice reached the ears of every cultivator present.
This voice was mighty, grand, like the pronouncement of divine decree, a single word turning into the law of the land!
As soon as the voice ceased speaking.
There was a dragon's roar, only to see Immortal Qin Dragon Qi descend, merging with Huang Xie.
Huang Xie's palm-sized Nascent Soul instantly expanded, returning to a typical human size, as divine attire appeared on his body.
His aura rose infinitely, seeming to break through the limits of the Nascent Soul.
At the same time, a stronger force surged from the Netherworld, dragging him into layer upon layer of Netherworld, preventing him from ever returning to the human world.
If previously the immortals from the Dragon Court Blessed Land could temporarily visit the human world at a cost, then after Zhong Shenxiu spoke, that cost had become terrifyingly magnified!
Another phoenix cry could be heard; the Dragon Court Blessed Land of West Zhou was also affected, captured by the Netherworld, and fused as one.
Or rather, Huang Xie and Feng Xixi, this pair of old rivals were bound to meet in the Netherworld, and perhaps both would become King Yan one day, creating a rather amusing situation.
"Since Zao Fu is already dead, I'll take my leave first."
Liu Ji witnessed this, rode the Yellow Gourd, transformed into a yellow wind, and disappeared.
Unity True Monarch and others exchanged glances, neither stopping him nor retaining the two Nascent Souls of Immortal Qin, similarly retreating.
Today's events were too numerous; they needed to properly digest it all.
"The world's structure is finally complete..."
Zhong Shenxiu wore the crown of three dimensions, faintly merging with the Heaven, Earth, and Humanity three realms.
Of the three realms he delineated, the Heavenly Realm was the Divine Realm, which also included Kunlun Mountain, while the Earth Realm was naturally the newly opened Netherworld, the future site of reincarnation where souls are permitted in but not out.
And finally, the Human Realm was the Human World.
Once the Three Realms structure was established, he felt the Great Wilderness expanded outward by a circle; beyond the continent, deep seawater emerged.
It's safe to say, this world was gradually maturing.
The feedback from this accelerated his assimilation of the ideal country—the unique divine artifact!
The ideal country had been largely assimilated.
Complete mastery of this singular divinity was not far off.
However, the assimilation of "Secretive History Fragments" still left Zhong Shenxiu bewildered.
"To assimilate this unique divinity seems not as simple as becoming history oneself or recording history..."
Zhong Shenxiu rehearsed another ritual to assimilate the Secretive History Fragments, then his mind rose, seemingly merging with the ideal country, acting as the Heavenly Dao, governing the beings of the Three Realms, steering the world's major trend reversals.
'Now Zao Fu is in the Netherworld, unable to come out, the world situation greatly changes!'
'The most likely to seize the world, on the contrary, is Xiang Yu! Or perhaps... Unity True Monarch!'
After all, the strength of Immortal Qin was greatly reduced, and then Unity True Monarch and others regained their memory, Taiping Guangmiao True Monarch and Zhang Taiyi were both members of the three sects of Daoism, considering it natural to support the Second Yan Han Empire.
The three largest righteous armies merged, and then there was nothing for Liu Ji.
'Is this development what I want?'
Zhong Shenxiu asked himself in his heart.
Immediately, his gaze fell on Liu Ji.
Liu Ji was unaware of this, recalling the scene from that day, still feeling hair-raising: "Too terrifying, too terrifying... Whether it was Xiang Yu, Yu Ji, or Zhang Jiao... in an instant it seemed as if they switched souls... Also, that voice, aloof, ruling everything, was that truly the legendary deity? The Queen Mother of the West and East King residing on Kunlun Mountain?"
"This meeting almost killed me, good thing there was compensation!" Thıs content belongs to novel⁂fire.net
Liu Ji shook his Yellow Gourd, seeming to hear the sound of water flow beside him.
This was his Golden Finger, the Yellow Gourd could refine all things in the world into Dao Rhythm and spiritual insight, and this time, he captured the Twelve Golden Men in one go, even secretly grabbing a few of the Eight Horses Jiao Long, earning a great profit.
With the support of these spiritual insights, he had already pushed his cultivation to the Great Perfection Realm of Nascent Soul Peak.
But next, how to break through Refining God was still quite unclear.
"The Immortal Path of this world is forged step by step by people; during King Wu's time, Saint Jiang only passed the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment Method, then King Wu directly opened the Immortal Path... King Mu of Zhou later obtained the Core Formation Method from Kunlun, it was Zao Fu who deduced it to an even higher level, proving Nascent Soul..."
"And now I need to continue paving the way beyond Nascent Soul, to Refining God Realm?"
Liu Ji felt if he could not deduce Refining God Realm, then no one could.
After all, he had used the gourd to swallow many cultivators' items, obtaining a plethora of Dao Rhythm, now his Daoist Skill prowess could be said to be at the Great Grandmaster level!
"Furthermore, I have a distinct advantage, which is Zao Fu has already paved part of the way for me, at least the next realm concerning Refining God Realm already has some traces... coupled with my Golden Finger, as long as I can deduce roughly, I can forcefully break through with the gourd's spiritual insight!"
"If I can't break through, then it means the Cultivation Technique I deduced has issues..."
As Liu Ji pondered, a ray of light suddenly flew in from outside, it was Xiao He!
After acquiring cultivation techniques, Liu Ji did not hesitate to promote a large batch of civil and military officials, among whom Xiao He stood out, just now condensing a Dragon Tiger Golden Pill.
Xiao He's face carried surprise, shock, and other emotions: "Five-Dou Rice Dao, Taiping Dao, and Western Chu Army are in close communication, now these three have agreed to raise troops together, attacking Immortal Qin's Guanzhong!"
This significant event, where those righteous army leaders did not seek out Liu Ji, made Xiao He sense an ill-fated taste.
Seemingly exclusion, yet also abandonment.
Xiao He said: "About how these three managed to disregard former grudges, I truly do not know..."
Liu Ji said in his heart: 'But you definitely wouldn't believe it.'
"Forget it, pass the word down, we also need to prepare early!"
Liu Ji secretly made a decision in his heart.
He was a solitary transmigrator, those people were not his kind, for his own safety, he must break through as soon as possible!!
