Man is in the heavens, parasitic on the way

Chapter 145 The Original Gate

If it were anyone else, choosing a Ci Shen would naturally require extreme caution and care.

Otherwise, the fusion would be very troublesome in the future. If the compatibility is poor, not only would it not improve, but it would also hinder oneself.

Therefore, it is mostly separated from oneself.

Even the Ci Shen separated from oneself would not deviate too much from the Main and Secondary Body Method practiced by the main body, or it would be complementary to the main body. Only then would the fusion of the Ci Shen in the future reach the absolute peak of power.

However, Fang Ming did not have this problem. His World Dao rejected nothing; no matter what it was, it could be absorbed. The so-called ‘World’ name was merely a name he forcefully assigned; it was not its original appearance.

"This feeling is quite wonderful!" Within the inner world, Fang Ming revealed a hint of surprise.

He could clearly sense a consciousness not far away that was extremely closely linked to him. That consciousness was very nascent, like a blank sheet of paper, and not powerful.

Clearly, his Ci Shen had no cultivation whatsoever.

Moreover, he could feel that he had extremely strong control over the Ci Shen; he inherently possessed powerful control over the Ci Shen.

"After all, it's not perfect; it's an independent consciousness." Within the inner world, Fang Ming shook his head slightly with regret, muttering, "I really don't know how that fake medicine seller managed to keep his Ci Shen from rebelling over such a long time!"

The Main and Secondary Body Method had a considerable gap compared to the perfect secret technique he had envisioned.

With a thought, he sent out a wisp of divine sense, instantly branding some relevant information into the Ci Shen's mind, causing its consciousness to mature in an instant.

Of course, for now, this will was absolutely loyal to him, the main body.

It was necessary for the Ci Shen to have its own will and intelligence.

After the Ci Shen became an Immortal, it would not immediately turn into nourishment for the Cave Heaven World; it had other uses.

Furthermore, Fang Ming also planned to make it an existence similar to the ‘Heavenly Dao’ of one of his Cave Heaven Worlds.

Although the idea was good, it might not be achievable; it was just one of his attempts.

"Although I'm using Immortal Medicine to become an Immortal, the commotion is definitely not going to be small. It's better to enter the chaos, and it's better to conceal it a bit!" Fang Ming's heart stirred. In an instant, he broke through the Lower Realm's world barrier and entered the Primordial Treasure Realm.

The end of the Primordial Treasure Realm connected to the chaos, allowing direct entry into the chaos without needing to expend effort to enter through other channels.

This was a vast and magnificent landscape, its scale even grander than the Lower Realm. Fang Ming's divine sense swept across, seeing at the ends of the world, the boundless chaos descending and connecting with this world.

Within the chaos, there were no visible scenes; it was extremely vast, with a Dao rhyme of myriad things first emerging, ancient and primitive, emanating from within.

"The origin of this world is very special. It gives me a feeling of vastness and grandeur, but upon closer inspection, there's also a sense of emptiness, a feeling of having a shell but no substance within." Within the inner world, Fang Ming revealed a look of surprise.

Upon entering the Primordial Treasure Realm, Fang Ming relied on his 'innate closeness to the Dao' characteristic, instantly understanding the reality of this world.

"What a pity. It really could have grown into a Great Chiliocosm Universe originally." After sensing for a while, Fang Ming flew towards the ends of the world.

The flowing light sped by at an extreme speed.

He did not go looking for other treasures in this realm. Aside from the quasi-world tree and the World Stone on the tree, even if other treasures existed in this realm, he wouldn't think much of them.

It was better to try his luck in the chaotic world and see if he could encounter chaotic treasures or innate spiritual objects born within the chaos.

Of course, such things were extremely rare. Generally speaking, only Immortal Dao powerhouses could survive in the chaos for a long time.

For cultivators in the Human Dao realm below the Immortal Dao, a short-term shallow entry into the chaos surrounding their Great Chiliocosm Universe would generally not pose any problems.

The chaos was not entirely safe and peaceful. While there were indeed treasures and innate Dao artifacts, there were also innate Demon rampant, dangerous places similar to the Boundary Sea. Sometimes, if one was unlucky enough to encounter the spontaneous opening and explosion of a super Great Chiliocosm like the Immortal Domain, even an Immortal King would perish.

Of course, such things were rare throughout the ages.

In the deepest part of the Treasure Realm, the chaotic energy spread boundlessly, chaotic law runes intertwined, and finger-sized seeds glowed, piercing through the law barrier and entering the chaos.

In the boundless chaos, after Fang Ming entered, it was as if he had instantly arrived at the deepest part of the chaos. If he couldn't perceive the coordinates of the Lower Realm and know he wasn't too far away, he wouldn't be able to discern the distance at all.

Because when his divine sense spread out, there was only one feeling, and that was infinity; there was simply no so-called end or boundary!

There were no colors here, or rather, it encompassed all the colors in the world.

There existed a certain primitive 'Qi', which possessed various characteristics... destruction, creation, Yin-Yang Five Elements... It could evolve myriad phenomena, and it was precisely the 'Qi' that cultivators referred to as 'chaotic energy'.

The chaotic energy surged, and the finger-sized seed floated in the chaotic space without up, down, or four directions, as if confirming something.

Within the inner world, Fang Ming sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, as if sensing something.

After a while, he opened his eyes with regret, sighing with full of regret: "I couldn't sense the origin of the chaos. If I could sense the origin of the chaos..."

This was originally just a sudden idea he had to try.

After all, in his opinion, chaos and the Great Chiliocosm Universe had many similarities. Chaos would nurture innate Demon and innate artifacts, and the Great Chiliocosm Universe would also nurture Holy Spirits. The two were extremely similar, and perhaps there was also an existence similar to the origin of the Heavenly Dao.

After sensing carefully for a while just now, he did not sense anything similar to the origin of heaven and earth.

If he could sense the Great Dao origin of the chaos, then needless to say, the origin of the chaos would undoubtedly be incomparably powerful, far surpassing the Great Chiliocosm Universe by who knows how many times.

He would definitely find a place in the chaos to hide, cultivate in seclusion for hundreds of millions of years, perfect his own Dao, and then reappear. By then, he would surely be one of the few powerhouses of the current era.

Unfortunately, he thought beautifully, but reality did not allow it.

Suddenly, Fang Ming sensed a special fluctuation coming. It was a slightly familiar Great Dao fluctuation, similar to the original Great Dao rune fluctuation on the Original True Understanding, but even more vast and profound.

"Original Gate!?" In an instant, his Dharma body manifested, covering the seed.

With a 'whoosh', he did not hesitate and sped directly towards the source of the Great Dao fluctuation.

There was indeed danger in the Original Gate, but that danger only existed after entering. Without entering, there was no danger; it was just a gate.

According to the performance of Liu Shen in the original work, this gate could be collected.

The Original Gate was very likely refined by the Corpse Immortal Emperor. For him now, it was definitely a good thing.

Regardless of its use, get it in hand first.

Anyway, the Original Gate was not a two-way gate, so there was no need to worry about the pollution from the other side of the Boundary Sea behind the gate rushing over.

Following the Great Dao fluctuation, after flying for about half an hour, a gate surrounded by endless immortal light appeared before Fang Ming's eyes.

This gate was not very large, about a hundred feet high, entirely gray and black, with numerous patterns of innate gods and Heavenly Rank ferocious beasts carved on it. In addition, there were countless innate original Great Dao patterns from the same source as the Original True Understanding.

Those innate gods and Heavenly Rank ferocious beasts were all constructed from innate original Great Dao patterns, lifelike, and even the immortal light wrapped around the gate was transformed from original Great Dao patterns.

The gate was tightly closed, and the whole body flowed with a primitive and ancient Great Dao aura.

There was an aura of the supreme Dao here. The Dao was ineffable, supreme and noble, and the source was this gate.

Observing this gate carefully, countless Dao wonders emerged in Fang Ming's heart, as if facing the supreme and unique Dao.

"This gate..." Fang Ming inhaled a mouthful of chaotic energy.

The level of the gate was higher than he had imagined, at least one level higher than the Reincarnation Disk and the Wu Zhong Dao Bell in his hands.

"How did Liu Shen collect it?" Looking at this Original Gate, Fang Ming's eyelids twitched within his inner world.

This gate didn't feel like something that could be easily collected. It looked like it would be full of difficulties.

Indeed, Fang Ming's Dharma body reached out, but no matter how much he exerted force, he couldn't shake it in the slightest.

Currently, with his strength, he could even move a star field, but he couldn't shake this gate at all.

The Dharma body carefully took a step, and then his magic power gushed out, entering this gate.

As expected, this gate had no reaction. It accepted magic power without resistance, but remained very quiet itself.

After a brief thought, he circulated the Original True Understanding, and then the Dharma body pressed against the gate frame of the Original Gate.

The Original True Understanding was infinitely profound. Even his system could operate this cultivation method.

In an instant, the hundred-foot-tall Original Gate trembled slightly, and the original immortal light ‘嗡’ flowed back. The entire gate shrunk, becoming one zhang in size, suspended before Fang Ming.

The one-zhang-sized gate was surrounded by original immortal light, hazy and indistinct, with an indescribable Great Dao aura.

Fang Ming gently pushed, and the Original Gate was also pushed along, as if it had no weight.

Completely different from before, when Fang Ming couldn't shake it in the slightest no matter what, now it could be treated as if it didn't exist.

After a brief attempt, Fang Ming found that he could easily put the Original Gate into his own Cave Heaven World.

At this point, how could Fang Ming not understand that the Original Gate and the Original True Understanding were indeed from the same source, from the same owner.

"In that case, it makes sense that the Original Gate leads to the other side of the Boundary Sea." Within the inner world, Fang Ming nodded.

Fang Ming circulated the Original True Understanding, inputting his magic power into the Original Gate, attempting to control this gate to attack.

As his magic power flowed into the gate, the original immortal light surrounding the gate became even more resplendent, and the illusory figures on the gate also lit up with light, as if they were about to walk out of the gate.

"Ch!"

A ray of original immortal light swept across the chaos, instantly exploding, and a large area of chaos shattered.

Clear energy rose, turbid energy sank, and faintly a small world appeared. Soon, the chaos surged, crushing the small world until it collapsed, and the chaos returned to calmness again.

"My magic power is not enough..." Fang Ming shook his head and said, "Moreover, it's not a normal artifact; it's an artifact with a special function..."

He couldn't sense a god within the Original Gate, not knowing if there was no god or if the god was unwilling to see him.

But his intuition told him that this Original Gate was not simple; it was a special artifact, and its true function was not for combat.

Its true function was unknown, but using it for combat was not bad either; it was still a powerful artifact.

Of course, for cultivators in the Human Dao realm to use, it could only be considered a powerful artifact.

It was still not like cultivators in the Human Dao realm using immortal artifacts, being able to unleash that unparalleled power and sweep away the strength of cultivators in the Human Dao realm.
