Man is in the heavens, parasitic on the way

Chapter 111: Enlightenment of the Mystery of the Cave Heaven

“Indeed, it is very profound, but it is also truly only within the realm of Fellow Daoist; others cannot learn it.” Liu Shen said, having seen some clues.

It was derived from one's own Dao as the foundation for evolution, without the feasibility of widespread adoption.

At least for now, there is no feasibility for widespread adoption.

In its eyes, there is still a distance to go before creating a brand new cultivation system.

“Fellow Daoist has reshaped Engraving and Array Formation. I wonder what kind of attainments you had in the Cave Heaven realm?” Little Pagoda asked curiously.

“No attainments whatsoever,” Fang Ming replied.

“No attainments?” Little Pagoda was shocked, somewhat disbelieving.

The importance of the Cave Heaven realm is beyond doubt, as this realm holds unimaginable potential to be tapped.

Throughout history, most people who have achieved success in cultivation have successfully opened ten Cave Heavens.

Among them, some astonishing prodigies have even gone further in their evolution based on the ten Cave Heavens, achieving various astonishing accomplishments.

This Profound Heaven Fellow Daoist has achieved such astonishing success in the Engraving and Array Formation realms, so logically, his attainments in the Cave Heaven realm should also be absolutely astonishing.

Green light flowed, and willow branches swayed, Liu Shen also felt surprised.

“I did not cultivate to the Cave Heaven realm, so naturally, I have no attainments,” Fang Ming's voice, carrying a smile, rang out.

As soon as these words came out, even Little Pagoda and Liu Shen were momentarily stunned.

“Without cultivating to the Cave Heaven realm, how did you cultivate to the Engraving and Array Formation realms?” Little Pagoda asked, full of confusion.

“My situation is special; my cultivation realm is difficult to measure with the current cultivation system,” Fang Ming explained, “Before Engraving and Array Formation, I didn't have a specific realm, I just continuously accumulated magic power and comprehended the great Dao of heaven and earth.”

Instantly, Liu Shen and Little Pagoda were speechless; it turned out this person had truly walked an extraordinary path.

Before, they thought he had only re-enacted the Engraving and Array Formation realms.

Now it seemed, it was far more than just that.

“In this way, it can already be considered equivalent to creating a new cultivation system!” Liu Shen exclaimed.

Little Pagoda believed it had figured out Fang Ming's intention and sighed, “Fellow Daoist has lofty ambitions, actually planning to create a completely new cultivation system.”

“You flatter me, I don't have such ambitions yet. It's just that my own situation is special, and I had no choice but to do so,” Fang Ming's voice came, knowing his own situation; he had no choice but to do so.

If there was an existing system for him to cultivate, he wouldn't have racked his brains to create a brand new cultivation system.

It was all forced out!

“Regardless of the original intention, if this cultivation system is created, it will always be a matter of immeasurable merit!” Liu Shen said.

It and Little Pagoda did not continue to ask further; cultivation is a very private matter, and asking too much is not good.

Listening to others' opinions is sometimes not a good thing.

In the path of cultivation, it is more important to be firm in one's own path.

Fang Ming smiled without speaking; the system he had currently created required exceptionally high qualifications to cultivate, and only beings with origins similar to his own could possibly walk such a path.

Like those Sacred Spirits, and some special Immortal Medicine.

Just at this moment, Shi Hao suddenly opened his eyes; he had returned from the Void God Realm, his face full of smiles, as if he had encountered some great joyous event.

As soon as he returned, he spoke, “Liu Shen, Xuantian Senior, I have successfully opened the tenth Cave Heaven!”

As his voice fell, the void rumbled, and streaks of divine light shot up into the sky, auspicious mist permeating the air, a giant Cave Heaven appeared, like a world suspended in the air.

Around this giant Cave Heaven, nine smaller Cave Heavens guarded it in the center.

“I successfully broke and then established, and then with sudden inspiration, I opened this tenth Cave Heaven!” Shi Hao said with a beaming smile, extremely happy.

In the Void God Realm, he fought against many great enemies, including geniuses from ancient aristocratic families and pure-blooded beings from the Heavenly God Mountain.

In the past half month, he had a very difficult time, and he even fell into a dying state.

Finally, at the point of death, he had a sudden inspiration and completely comprehended, and thus, the tenth Cave Heaven was conceived and successfully opened!

“You are truly very good; you accomplished such a thing on your own,” Liu Shen's voice rang out, full of praise.

“Previously, thanks to Xuantian Senior's guidance, otherwise I don't know how long it would have taken me to comprehend!” Shi Hao bowed and thanked him.

“You would have comprehended this matter on your own sooner or later,” Fang Ming said calmly.

“Hehe~” Shi Hao scratched his head and laughed; he was easily satisfied.

Then he seemed to remember something, looked at Liu Shen, and said, “By the way, Liu Shen, an old man in the Void God Realm said he discovered traces of the Kun Peng Precious Technique and plans to invite me to go…”

After opening the ten Cave Heavens, he went on a killing spree in the Void God Realm, and as a result, an old man from the Heavenly God Mountain came to him and invited him to explore the Kun Peng's remnants, saying there was its fundamental great law inheritance.

“You can go; the Kun Peng's Precious Technique is a supreme great law, not inferior to the Grass Character Sword Technique. They each have their own wonderful uses, and you should strive for it,” Liu Shen replied.

In its peak state, it might have possessed more than one of the Ten Fierce's Precious Techniques, but after Nirvana, it only remembered its fundamental great law, and other great laws had long been lost.

The Kun Peng Law, even it highly valued.

“The location of the Kun Peng Dojo has a domain set up by the Kun Peng, which will suppress the cultivation of high-level cultivators. At that time, you can completely suppress and kill those with ill intentions!” Liu Shen reminded.

“I know!” Shi Hao nodded, then asked, “Liu Shen, I have now opened ten Cave Heavens, do I still need baptism?”

“Of course you need it. This time, I have prepared special precious medicine for you; the effect is far better than before,” Liu Shen was rarely somewhat serious.

“I understand,” Shi Hao was delighted.

Just as he was about to enter the Void God Realm to reply to the Venerable from the Heavenly God Mountain, Fang Ming's voice rang out, “Don't pay attention to him. We'll go ourselves at that time. You just focus on preparing for your own matters.”

“We'll go ourselves?” Shi Hao's eyes lit up, very tempted.

Because Liu Shen tacitly agreed to this and did not raise any objections.

“Go ourselves, why bother with them,” Fang Ming said indifferently.

“Yay!” Shi Hao rubbed his hands excitedly, “The Kun Peng's Dojo must have astonishingly amazing divine treasures!”

Afterward, his spirit entered the Void God Realm again to refuse the invitation from the Heavenly God Mountain.

After his spirit left, Fang Ming's voice, carrying a smile, rang out, “Tower Brother, you're about to lose.”

“How can you tell? That kid has only opened ten Cave Heavens; it's already the extreme state. Even with the immortal essence extracted from the Immortal King's blood to baptize his physical body, he cannot easily break the extreme state, let alone achieve unparalleled accomplishments!” Little Pagoda said calmly.

Breaking the extreme state mainly depends on one's own ability.

External objects can at most only play an auxiliary role.

As for going further after the extreme state, that is even more difficult.

“Heh~” Fang Ming chuckled lightly and said, “Tower Brother, just wait and see!”

“Are the two Fellow Daoists making a bet?” Liu Shen's voice, carrying curiosity, rang out.

“That's right, we are indeed making a bet,” Fang Ming said, explaining, “We are betting on whether that Bear Child can break the extreme state in the Cave Heaven realm and then achieve unparalleled accomplishments!”

“Profound Heaven Fellow Daoist thinks so highly of this child?” Liu Shen was quite surprised.

“I do indeed think highly of him,” Fang Ming admitted frankly and said, “This Bear Child has infinite potential and may achieve unimaginable accomplishments in the future.”

“Throughout history, geniuses are as numerous as carp crossing the river. This Bear Child is indeed good, but these words are too much,” The finger-sized bone pagoda flickered with a faint light, clearly disagreeing. It said, “There are countless geniuses in the Upper Realm, and even some freaks sealed from ancient times. Compared to those people, this child is still too young.”

“That may not be the case. Time will naturally tell after a while!” Fang Ming said with a smile. He changed the subject and said to Liu Shen, “Fellow Daoist, how about we also make a trade?”

“I won't get involved in the matters between the two Fellow Daoists; I'll just be a spectator,” Liu Shen said.

“That's truly a pity,” Fang Ming felt a slight regret.

“Fellow Daoist, how about we also make a transaction?” At this time, Little Pagoda's voice rang out. It said to Liu Shen, “The Immortal King's body belongs to Fellow Daoist, and in the future, Fellow Daoist will help me reclaim two layers of the pagoda body.”

Liu Shen quickly replied, “Okay.”

The existence that holds the other two layers of Little Pagoda's body is not some truly supreme existence. As long as it completely absorbs and refines this Immortal King's body, its strength will naturally recover to a terrifying level.

At that time, helping it reclaim the pagoda body will be effortless.

This transaction was not a loss for it.

Hearing this, Little Pagoda was happy. With this Immortal King's body, Liu Shen's recovery speed would definitely greatly accelerate, and with its assistance, reclaiming the two layers of the pagoda body would not be a problem.

Two months passed.

During this time, Shi Hao had been preparing for the baptism.

After two months, the Liu Shen at the entrance of Stone Village underwent earth-shattering changes.

The charred bark on the tree stump completely peeled off, revealing vibrant vitality. On the thick trunk, lush green branches were verdant and dense, one after another, completely incomparable to before.

Among the dense green branches, golden light occasionally flashed.

Clearly, during this time, after absorbing and refining the Immortal King's body, it had gained great benefits, and its strength recovered rapidly.

At this moment, no one knew what level its strength had recovered to.

At least Fang Ming could no longer sense the depth of its strength, as if facing a boundless starry sky.

Almost all the villagers of Stone Village gathered at the entrance, surrounding the area, quietly watching Shi Hao not far from Liu Shen.

He sat cross-legged under the Willow Tree, his spirit highly concentrated, preparing to receive this crucial baptism.

Not far away, a finger-sized seed was suspended in the air. At this time, this seed was like a miniature world hanging in the air.

A zhang away from the seed, a finger-sized bone pagoda was suspended, emitting a faint glow.

At this moment, it was time for Little Pagoda and Fang Ming's bet to be decided.

“Tower Brother, just watch later,” Fang Ming's voice came out, full of confidence.

Little Pagoda remained very calm and said, “Then I shall watch. I want to see how far this Bear Child can go!”

As his voice fell, a verdant branch glowing with golden light hung down above Shi Hao.

Then, soft five-colored light burst out from the tip of the branch.

Instantly, the five-colored immortal essence transformed into a waterfall, flowing down, the aura of immortality spread, and the five-colored immortal light spread like a surging tsunami, as if a supreme existence was manifesting here.

That kind of pressure made people tremble and shiver incessantly.

Several more verdant branches glowing with golden light hung down, taming all the five-colored immortal light.

Shi Hao was submerged in the immortal essence, his entire body glowing, and his flesh became crystal clear.

Crackling sounds came out, and his body was constantly being strengthened.

“Boom~”

With a roar, Shi Hao's ten great Cave Heavens appeared simultaneously, hanging in the sky, like a piece of the Immortal Realm emerging.

The immortal essence poured back in, entering the Cave Heavens, he wanted to re-enact the Cave Heavens.

Not far away, Little Pagoda gently swayed and transmitted its voice, “Profound Heaven Fellow Daoist, it seems you are about to lose.”

With its experience, it had naturally seen many geniuses who opened ten Cave Heavens and understood that with the attainments of the Cave Heaven realm, it was impossible to re-enact the Cave Heavens in this way.

“Tower Brother, don't rush,” Fang Ming transmitted his voice, very calm, “Just watch, he won't disappoint me.”

As expected, after Shi Hao tried for a while and found that with his current realm and cultivation, he couldn't reshape the Cave Heavens, he immediately changed his mind.

After pondering for a while, he immediately made a decision.

“Boom!”

With a violent roar, one of Shi Hao's Cave Heavens split into four and then exploded.

In an instant, it was like the sky and earth collapsing, a destructive storm spread, like raging waves, surging towards all directions.

A flash of green light, and the destructive storm formed by the collapsing Cave Heaven instantly disappeared.

Shi Hao coughed up blood, his crystal-clear physical body cracked, and blood flowed, heavily injured.

However, being submerged in the immortal essence here, his injuries were recovering at an extremely fast speed.

Shi Hao silently adjusted his breathing, recalling his experience when he opened the tenth Cave Heaven.

Seeing this scene, the finger-sized ancient pagoda flashed with white light; it understood Shi Hao's plan.

“This Bear Child actually thought of this method!” Little Pagoda was surprised in its heart.

If one of the ten great Cave Heavens is destroyed, then it will naturally revert to the nine Cave Heavens realm.

At that time, the Cave Heaven that is reopened will naturally be the tenth Cave Heaven.

The tenth Cave Heaven is very special, it is a Supreme Cave Heaven, exceptionally vast.

If all ten Cave Heavens are reshaped, making them become Supreme Cave Heavens like the tenth Cave Heaven, then it can also be considered a supreme accomplishment, truly breaking the extreme state.

“However, even so, it cannot be considered an unparalleled accomplishment!” Little Pagoda transmitted its voice; it believed Fang Ming could understand its meaning.

“Don't rush, Tower Brother, just watch,” Fang Ming said indifferently.

He naturally understood Little Pagoda's meaning.

For all ten great Cave Heavens to evolve into Supreme Cave Heavens like the tenth Cave Heaven, indeed, it cannot be said to be unparalleled; it can only be considered rare in the world.

Perhaps there is no such accomplishment in the current era, but historically, there must have been people who reached this level.

Shi Hao didn't just reach this level!

This time, Fang Ming wanted to win without any dispute.

After many attempts, with a roar, Shi Hao reopened his tenth Cave Heaven.

This Cave Heaven was exactly the same as the tenth Cave Heaven he opened the first time, exceptionally vast.

“So that's how it is!” In his inner world, a sharp light flashed in Fang Ming's eyes.

Just now, when Shi Hao was opening the Cave Heaven, his divine sense captured a piece of special great Dao profound meaning fragment, which was the profound mystery of the Cave Heaven realm, a truth of the Dao that coexists with the world and is forever indestructible.

At this moment, Fang Ming had full confidence in how he would open his Cave Heaven next, and whether he could open a Cave Heaven!

Time flowed by, and Shi Hao spent a day and a night, finally completing the reshaping of his Cave Heavens, all evolving into Supreme Cave Heavens.

“Although the great Dao profound meaning that appears each time it is opened is slightly different, the essence is the same!” Fang Ming showed a confident smile.

Under the Willow Tree, Shi Hao sat cross-legged, ten vast Cave Heavens surrounding him, precious light steaming, auspicious colors permeating the air, the Cave Heavens seemed to be connected to a piece of the Immortal Realm.

These Cave Heavens were no longer in the shape of volcanoes but had become true 'Cave Heavens'.

“This is the rhythm of scaring ancient mighty beings to death!” Among the onlookers, Old Two Bald Kong Qiuji was dumbfounded, his eyes almost popping out.

“Scaring ancient mighty beings to death?” Big Red Bird glanced sideways at Kong Qiuji and said slowly, “Old Two Bald, you truly have eyes but cannot see. Didn't you see that those three mighty beings are still very calm?”

“I told you to read and study, but you just wouldn't listen. It's one thing to be uncultured, but you also lack discerning eyes!” Big Red Bird sneered.

“You…” Kong Qiuji was so angry that smoke was coming out of his seven orifices, but he couldn't vent his anger.

At this time, under the Willow Tree, endless auspicious energy burst forth, that place was filled with mist, the ten great Cave Heavens connected into a single piece, interwoven together, transforming into a world hanging in the air.

Clearly, Shi Hao was not satisfied; he wanted to continue to achieve a breakthrough.

The ten Cave Heavens merged into one, as if truly evolving into a magnificent world, within which all living beings and things evolved, mountains and rivers flowed, stars twinkled…

Fang Ming's divine sense swept across and immediately surged over.

Almost in an instant, he captured a piece of special great Dao profound meaning fragment.
