Fang Han had long heard the great name of Heavenly Monarch Duobao. In the mortal world, rumors of this Heavenly Monarch's great name were constant, and now he finally saw his true face.
Unexpectedly, Heavenly Monarch Duobao was actually an entirely gaunt cultivator, having not a trace of excess flesh, capable and tough like iron, possessing uncanny and ingenious wisdom.
Heavenly Monarch Duobao's body was like the creation of nature itself. Every inch of his skin shone with luster, being the most wondrous magical treasure. Fang Han had seen many divine objects but none as miraculous as Heavenly Monarch Duobao.
Moreover, he felt a trace of a familiar aura from Heavenly Monarch Duobao's body, a profound state, and that was the state of "Heaven and Earth as One".
Heavenly Monarch Duobao was a true master of refining magical treasures.
He had refined his own body into a magical treasure, its power exquisitely profound, similar to Fang Han. Furthermore, he comprehended the "Heaven and Earth as One" state that only Creation Artifacts possessed.
In this way, his practical combat ability was extremely mighty, even capable of killing people across realms.
And as for Heavenly Monarch Taishang, Fang Han had also long heard his grand name. According to rumors, the powerful Supreme Great Sect, the Highest Nine Pure Heavens, was founded by this supreme existence, one of the strongest Heavenly Monarchs under the command of the Origin Immortal King.
The Origin Dynasty was originally incomparably formidable precisely because Heavenly Monarch Duobao and Heavenly Monarch Taishang held the fort. However, both of these Heavenly Monarchs entered the Realm Above Realms and were not in the Heaven Realm. Therefore, it allowed Fang Han to seize the Altar of Zen Conferral and destroy the entire dynasty.
Seeing the two great Heavenly Monarchs visiting, Fang Han suddenly felt a stir in his heart, "I destroyed the Origin Dynasty and completely took away the Treasure Realm. Heavenly Monarch Duobao and Heavenly Monarch Taishang, these two, are likely enemies rather than friends. I must see exactly what purpose they have for coming."
While contemplating, Fang Han's entire person suddenly turned into a speck of dust, his aura completely vanishing within this ancient Witch city, as if he had never appeared.
At the same time, the three great Ancestor Witches all received Fang Han's voice in their minds: "Pretend to comply. See what path Heavenly Monarch Duobao and Heavenly Monarch Taishang are taking by coming here? Do not reveal the fact that you have joined the Epoch Gate. Just act as if I have never appeared."
"Alright…"
The three great witches tacitly understood.
Rumble!
The moment Fang Han disappeared, the three great witches opened the restrictive formations of this ancient Witch city, soaring into the sky to welcome the two supreme existences.
Whether it was Heavenly Monarch Duobao or Heavenly Monarch Taishang, both gave off an unfathomable feeling.
"Hmm? You three great witches, your cultivation has seen another vast improvement…" Heavenly Monarch Taishang wore a tall hat and peculiar clothes, resembling an ancient true person. Looking at the three great witches, his eyes immediately stirred, noticing the extraordinary nature of the three.
In these past few days, the three great witches cultivated together with Fang Han and obtained quite a few benefits. They thoroughly comprehended one by one the principles they could not understand before, finally achieving a stage of complete mastery in their cultivation.
In truth, upon reaching the realm of a Heavenly Monarch, it mainly relied on the comprehension of the realm. Once the realm was comprehended, power would roll in, almost earth-shaking. With a breath, the vast power of heaven and earth would bless the body.
For example, Fang Han suddenly comprehended the mysteries of the Great Destiny Technique, and immediately the power of destiny from the Gate of Eternal Life descended onto his body, which was more effective than eating many divine objects of the heavens.
"It is nothing, nothing. Recently, the three of us have just gained some small insights from our cultivation, unable to compare to Heavenly Monarch Duobao and Heavenly Monarch Taishang. Presumably, you two have elevated your realms once again." The three great witches hurriedly greeted them, sitting down together in the hall of the ancient Witch city: "We wonder what matter the two great Heavenly Monarchs have come together for this time?"
"We have an important matter and need to ally with the three great witches." Heavenly Monarch Taishang stroked his beard, his expression slightly shifting as if organizing his words. After a while, he opened his mouth and said: "First, naturally, it is for the matter of the Gate of Eternal Life. This time, the great destruction of heaven and earth is approaching. The divine objects spewed out contain extremely formidable existences. One must obtain them to be able to dominate the next epoch and not be at the mercy of others. This point, presumably, the three great witches already know?"
"Naturally, we know this point. One must carefully plan for every epoch." The three great witches nodded: "However, this matter probably wouldn't make you two come here so formally, right?"
"The second point, of course, is crucially important and is also good news for the Witch Gate." Heavenly Monarch Duobao took over, "It is that the treasure trove of the Witch Gate has appeared once again. The skeleton of your Witch Dao Ancestor and the character 'Witch' have both fallen into the hands of one person."
"What?"
The three great witches looked at one another, stood up one after another, looked at one another again, nodded, and immediately asked deliberately: "Whose hands did it fall into?"
"In the lower realm, into the hands of a person named Fang Han. This person is no small matter; he is an anomaly and also a key figure of countless tribulations, having founded the Epoch Gate." Heavenly Monarch Duobao seemed very satisfied with the reaction of the three great witches, a hint of a smile appearing on his face.
"Oh? Fang Han, never heard of him. He is not an expert from the ancient era?" the three great witches deliberately asked again.
"No, he is an existence born in this epoch. However, do not underestimate him. The Heavenly Monarch Lightning Mother born in this epoch is also extremely formidable. Presumably, you know of her terror. At her prime, grasping the Great Destiny Technique, even the Lord of Qiankun of the Realm Above Realms could do nothing to her. But the potential of this Fang Han is an even more terrifying existence than Heavenly Monarch Lightning Mother." Heavenly Monarch Duobao said: "Fortunately, he has not yet achieved great influence and is still in the budding stage."
"Is that so? Then let us rapidly descend to the lower realm and snatch that character 'Witch'? The character 'Witch' cannot fall into the hands of that person," the three great witches said fiercely.
Fang Han, hiding in the depths, however, began to calculate: "I obtained the character 'Witch' from the Treasure Distributing Rock, and that Treasure Distributing Rock was bestowed upon Heavenly Monarch Duobao by the Origin Immortal King. Ultimately, it fell into the hands of Mi Bao and then was transferred to my hands. Now that Heavenly Monarch Duobao deliberately brings it up, is it a layout prepared in advance? A planted chess piece? Did the Origin Immortal King already arrange this well? It seems I have garnered the attention of countless Immortal Kings in the heavens. Could it be that I am a crucial figure? Definitely not the reincarnation of a minor character. Who exactly am I? Logically speaking, even if I were the reincarnation of an Immortal King, cultivating to my current realm, I should have long comprehended my past and present lives. Furthermore, I comprehended the Great Destiny Technique, but right now, it is still a blank slate, as if there is no past life."
Many doubts naturally existed in Fang Han's heart, but he still continued to listen to see what the exact intentions of Heavenly Monarch Duobao and Heavenly Monarch Taishang were. Perhaps, from their conversation, he could also obtain some clues about the identity of his past life.
"There is no need for now. This person Fang Han is very difficult to deal with. Although he hasn't achieved great influence, he is advancing by leaps and bounds. Even a series of chess pieces I laid down, upholding the will of the Origin Immortal King, have all become useless. We can do nothing to him." Heavenly Monarch Taishang took over: "Creation Immortal King also should have laid down chess pieces to deal with him long ago, but he also reversed the situation. However, now Creation Immortal King is about to return from the Gate of Eternal Life. When the time comes for him to come out, he will shock heaven and earth. Who knows how many epochs his cultivation will have improved by. We must grasp Fang Han before he comes out to be able to control the situation."
"What are you talking about? I don't understand. Which big shot's reincarnation is that Fang Han exactly? To actually be worth such attention, for even Creation Immortal King and Origin Immortal King to lay down chess pieces to deal with him?" the three great witches said in shock.
"This we also do not know. In short, this person's identity is incomparably mysterious. Suddenly rising to prominence, he is the key to the tribulations within countless chaotic epochs." Heavenly Monarch Duobao shook his head: "This time we came just to ally with you three great witches to grasp Fang Han. However, you should not go deal with him first, but rather find this person, pretend to snatch his character 'Witch', and then strike up a friendship out of conflict, forming an alliance. Or become the Supreme Elders of his Epoch Gate, and then follow our plan?"
"Rest assured, awaiting the return of the Origin Immortal King, as undercover agents, I will give you enough benefits." Heavenly Monarch Taishang seemed to know what the three great witches were going to say and waved his hand: "As undercover agents, you will simply monitor all movements of the Epoch Gate, bide your time, and gain this person's trust. When the tribulation arrives, according to our intentions, suddenly control him, or his subordinate disciples, as well as his women. With your strength, it shouldn't be difficult to achieve."
"This… We are grand Ancestors of the Witch Gate, to act as Supreme Elders for a junior…" The three great witches mumbled: "This seems to be a tremendous humiliation."
"No matter, this is the benefit for you." With a movement of Heavenly Monarch Duobao's palm, a mass of incomparably resplendent light continuously rotated, manifesting a treasure.
This treasure was a humanoid jade, with a massive character 'Human' written on it. That jade was exquisitely carved, with uncanny workmanship, devoid of any artificiality. It was a naturally formed human figure. This human figure had no face or features, bare and smooth all over, but from head to toe, it radiated an aura of the ancestor of humanity.
That character 'Human' on it was even more ancient and great.
It was the character 'Human' that flowed out from the Gate of Eternal Life. According to rumors, among all the heavens and myriad realms, the characters that flowed out included "God", "Witch", "Demon", "Immortal", "Buddha", "Dragon"… countless races, but the character 'Human' held the greatest potential.
'Human' could become a God in a single thought, become an Immortal in a single thought, or become a Demon in a single thought.
"This… This is the most mysterious character 'Human' that flowed out from the Gate of Eternal Life…" Seeing the character 'Human' on this jade human statue, the tone of the three great witches trembled, "Could it be that this is the price for letting us act as undercover agents?"
"No, it is only lent to you for comprehension. The character 'Human' was obtained by the Origin Immortal King back in the day and bestowed upon me as the ultimate treasure of my sect. Giving it to you is impossible." Heavenly Monarch Duobao shook his head: "Moreover, my unique aura has already integrated into this character 'Human'. With a single thought, I can manipulate and take it back. However, if you comprehend this character 'Human', you will definitely be able to advance a step further and reach the level of twelve epochs of cultivation. Giving you the character 'Human' to comprehend, and then providing you with one hundred million Immortal King Pills, will be enough to elevate your cultivation."
