"You actually have the key to the Ancient Pill Realm… This is a massive fortunate encounter. If I can possess a slumbering Fortune Divine Pill, I might practically truly assault the Heavenly Lord realm, with a seventy or eighty percent certainty."
Hearing Fang Han's words, Linglong Immortal Venerable pondered for a moment, and a sweet smile appeared on her face.
Fang Han did not speak. With a flip of his palm, the Key of the Moment appeared in his hand, constantly jumping and vibrating, as if it wanted to fly out of his hand and open an important portal.
Billowing Pill Realm origin energy permeated from within, purple energy coming from the east, and an aura of life manifested everywhere. After this period of comprehension, Fang Han's understanding of the Key of the Moment seemed to have reached into his bone marrow.
The Key of the Moment was a damaged divine artifact, severely broken inside. Once restored, it could probably rival a Sacred Grade Immortal Artifact, but this did not hinder using this key to open the portal of the Pill Realm.
Moreover, his current comprehension of the Key of the Moment was enough to begin repairing the broken grand arrays within it. Of course, this also required fragments of Fortune Divine Artifacts.
"Where are there more fragments of Fortune Divine Artifacts? Sigh… I hope that after my cultivation reaches the grand position of Heavenly Lord, I can find more fragments of Fortune Divine Artifacts to forge more magic treasures. After the Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasure shattered, there are at least thousands of fragments the size of planets, perhaps even more. If gathered completely, it would be enough to allow me to advance to the peak of Heavenly Lord." Fang Han pondered. He also yearned very much for the realms beyond Heavenly Lord.
He also wanted to cultivate to Immortal King, and even reach the Dao of Eternal Life, which no one had been able to reach across countless epochs.
"Alright then, let's quickly go to the Central State, receive the other disciples of the Epoch Gate, and after converging, head to the Ancient Pill Realm." Linglong also began to urge the arrays of the entire Hongmeng Hall.
"Heaven Exchanging Secret Art." Fang Han exhaled a breath onto the array diagram in the hall. Then the grand hall shrank, shrank again, and finally changed from a massive substance the size of the Heavenly Court into something like dust. This piece of heaven and that piece exchanged with each other. In a short while, they saw the vast and boundless land of the ten hundred thousand states of the Heavenly Court.
In the Ancient City of the Central State, restrictive spells flashed, and the pitch-black Wuhua power boiled. All restrictive spells were completely activated.
Emperor Yu stood in the Judgement Hall, looking up at the sky. Many emperors stood around him. The family head of the Xuanyuan Family, Xuanyuan Zhulu, the family head of the Xu Family, the family head of the Nangong Family, and Nangong Shangxin, were all observing the changes in the sky. Although Huangfu Bi'an had left, they still did not dare to release the restrictive spells. Just in case Huangfu Bi'an, far in the sky, casually flicked his finger down, without the restrictive spells, this Ancient City of the Central State would immediately sink into the depths of the earth and turn into fine powder.
"Emperor Yu, the situation is critical. To think a Heavenly Lord would actually take action against us, disregarding dignity. I wonder how Fang Han is doing now."
Nangong Shangxin said anxiously.
"Yes. These restrictive spells consume a massive amount of origin energy every day, and the Wuhua power cannot support them for much longer. If they vanish after being activated, they will vanish permanently and can never be activated again. At that time, we will nakedly lose our last barrier." Chihai Demon Venerable also had a solemn expression at this moment.
Although he was fierce, facing a Heavenly Lord like Huangfu Bi'an, he was still trembling with fear.
"Indeed. Losing the restrictive spells, we are equal to having no defense. A casual flick of a Heavenly Lord's finger down, and we would suffer heavy casualties." Xuanyuan Zhulu was filled with apprehension.
"These restrictive spells will vanish sooner or later, but I believe Fang Han will return very soon." Emperor Yu said indifferently, looking toward the void.
Just as they were speaking, suddenly, the Wuhua power of the entire Ancient City of the Central State dimmed abruptly, and the restrictive spells actually vanished all at once. Everyone felt a chill in their hearts, almost having the sensation of being stripped naked of clothes.
"Why, why did the restrictive spells suddenly vanish."
"How could this be… If a Heavenly Lord comes, aren't we definitely dead?"
"Should we flee?"
"Flee? Where to? This Heaven Realm is filled with demonic beasts everywhere. Besides, look at Emperor Yu being so composed and at ease. He definitely has a way. Perhaps all of this is within his control."…
The moment the restrictive spells vanished, the disciples of the entire Epoch Gate started a commotion for a bit, but very quickly quieted down and composed themselves, showing excellent qualities and profound cohesion.
"Junior Brother, you have finally returned." Emperor Yu looked at the vanished restrictive spells, without the slightest panic from beginning to end. Instead, a joyful expression appeared on his face.
"Indeed, I have returned. Huangfu Bi'an has already been repelled by me." Fang Han's voice transmitted down from the sky. Following that, everyone saw a stream of Hongmeng Energy draping down, condensing into a restrictive spell heavenly canopy a hundred times sturdier than the Wuhua power, completely covering the Ancient City of the Central State. Then, from deep underground, an earth plate broke apart abruptly. The entire ancient city was uprooted, then flew into the sky, completely wrapped within the Hongmeng Energy.
"This is…"
Several sect masters of the Supreme Great Sects, Chihai Demon Venerable, and even Emperor Yu became shocked. "Hongmeng Energy, what on earth is this?"
Right at this moment, within the Hongmeng Energy, Fang Han's body manifested, even taller and more massive, actually equal to that of Huangfu Bi'an earlier. Everyone felt it; Fang Han truly had the posture to ascend to heaven.
"Everyone, I have established contact with the disciple of Daoist Hongmeng who ascended from the Lower Realm, Linglong Immortal Venerable. This time, she drove the Hongmeng Hall to help me repel Huangfu Bi'an's killing strike. I came to find you this time to receive you all into the Hongmeng Hall. From now on, our Epoch Gate adds a secure mountain gate, one that even a Heavenly Lord cannot break open."
"What? Hongmeng Hall!"
Emperor Yu was first startled, then an expression of wild joy appeared on his face. "The hall forged personally by Daoist Hongmeng, an existence comparable to the Heavenly Court. Now, the Epoch Gate will greatly prosper. We can all stand out amidst the tribulations."
Swish, swish, swish!
Heaven and earth spun. Everyone saw the Ancient City of the Central State submerge into the Hongmeng Energy, while they themselves arrived in a hall. Outside the hall were endless palaces stretching across who knows how many planes, similar to the structure of the Heavenly Court, capable of housing billions and trillions of cultivators, as numerous as the sands of the Ganges.
"Right. Those three, Chiyuan Demon Venerable, Heart Demon Old Man, and Human Emperor Pen, where did they go after ascending? Weren't they with you?"
Seeing Chihai Demon Venerable, Fang Han suddenly remembered Chiyuan Demon Venerable and the others. These three were existences reborn after the fall of Immemorial Giants. Once they restored their power, it would be limitless, especially the Human Emperor Pen. Long ago, it was the weapon of the Human Emperor in the Xuanhuang Great World. The Human Emperor had Heavenly Lord cultivation and was a personal disciple of Daoist Hongmeng.
If these three ascended to the Heaven Realm, their cultivation would definitely skyrocket like a rocket.
Unfortunately, all three were now missing without a trace.
"They also cultivated in the Hongmeng Hall for a very long time. After each of them cultivated to the realm of Heaven and Earth Same Lifespan, they left, saying they were going to search for some things. I estimate they went to find their respective lost items from the past. Chiyuan Demon Venerable, in the very early days, had Heavenly Lord cultivation. The Human Emperor Pen needs no mention. The identity of the Heart Demon Old Man is also extremely mysterious. I suspect he was once the reincarnation of Heart Demon Heavenly Lord sitting under Primordial Ancestor Demon of the Primordial Demon Sect…"
Linglong Immortal Venerable frowned and said, "If these three were in the Hongmeng Hall, then our strength would likely increase further."
"No matter. When I advance to Heavenly Lord and my Dao practice elevates countless times, I can naturally deduce their locations and meet with them. We will scheme grand matters together." Fang Han glanced at Emperor Yu and all the people of the Central State Epoch Gate. He raised his hand, and immediately everyone quieted down, quietly looking at his palm. His palm represented absolute authority.
"Everyone, I created the Dao of Epoch, reformed the Gate of Ascension, eliminated the residual bloodline of Hua Heavenly Lord, mapped out the future, and founded the Epoch Gate, just to enable everyone to pass through this epoch's grand tribulation of heaven and earth destruction. From now on, everyone must cultivate diligently, merging your own origin energy with the Hongmeng Hall, comprehending the Dao of the Hongmeng Epoch. Senior Brother Emperor Yu, you supervise the overall situation, cooperating with Linglong Immortal Venerable, allowing the Epoch Gate disciples in the secular world and the Epoch Gate disciples in the Heaven Realm to harmonize with each other intimately!"
"Alright, Junior Brother."
Emperor Yu stepped forward and gave a single-handed salute.
Linglong Immortal Venerable's gaze swept over Emperor Yu, Chihai Demon Venerable, and the others one by one, nodding secretly: "The strength of this Heaven Realm's Epoch Gate is also no small matter. Joining the Hongmeng Hall, cultivating individually, condensing into one force, and breathing rhythmically towards the lifebound array diagrams, they can increasingly urge the power of the Hongmeng Hall. Now, with all of us added together, we should be able to urge close to the power of two thousand array diagrams."
In the Hongmeng Hall, the more people cultivating and the more experts there were, the more array diagrams could be urged when they united. Especially Emperor-level experts, they could play a crucial role. However, even billions of Emperors could not compare to one Heavenly Lord. Only a Heavenly Lord presiding over the Hongmeng Hall could be considered its true master.
One Emperor after another was settled down to cultivate within the Hongmeng Hall.
Emperor Yu and Linglong Immortal Venerable issued orders, getting everyone to their posts. Every disciple, every elder, and every giant expert received a corresponding cultivation position, rhythmically breathing together with a part of the Hongmeng Hall's array diagrams, merging themselves into the Hongmeng Energy, beginning to cultivate and comprehend, while simultaneously providing power to urge the Hongmeng Hall.
"Junior Brother, right now in the entire Hongmeng Hall, the Epoch Gate has a total of two hundred and thirty-two Heaven and Earth Same Lifespan Emperors, one thousand four hundred and sixty-four ordinary Supreme Immortal Emperors, tens of thousands of Saints, hundreds of thousands of Origin Immortals and Ancestor Immortals, and millions of Golden Immortal disciples…" After tallying the numbers, Emperor Yu spoke to Fang Han, inwardly surprised, while unable to resist praising in his heart: "This Hongmeng Hall is truly an exquisite workmanship of heaven. Daoist Hongmeng is indeed a supreme powerhouse whom even the Ancient Fortune Immortal King feared. For every disciple, while cultivating to urge the Hongmeng Hall's array diagrams, it is also a kind of Dao comprehension, yielding massive progress for their own Dao practice and cultivation. Resonating mutually, washing away the impurities in their bodies. If they cultivate down this path, a minor figure at the Heavenly Immortal tier can advance to Saint in a very short time, or even break through to the Supreme Immortal Emperor realm! Given time, our Epoch Gate's Emperors will only be more! We will surpass the Heavenly Court, Truth Holy Land, Origin Dynasty, and the major factions of the Heaven Realm, becoming the first in the Heavens."
