595 Hong Fugui’s Encounter, News of Jiang Qiqi
His experiences over the years…
Hong Fugui could not help but sigh when he heard this, but he was also a little confused. After pondering for a moment, he said, “Teacher, over the years, I’ve been to many places and wanted to put to practice the Great Dao in my heart, but I always encountered huge resistance.
When I was on the Daozhou Star, I believed that as long as I could smash the old world and establish a new era, I could fulfill the Great Dao and fulfill the ideals in my heart. But later on, I realized that I was wrong.
The power of a single person can surpass the masses, and allow the strong to rule the world they are in. Therefore, it’s unrealistic to rely on the power of the masses to establish an orderly society.
I have to be powerful enough to fulfill the Great Dao in my heart. Otherwise, all my ideals and plans are useless.
Especially after following Hong Ci to Taihong Star, it made me recognize this point. It’s impossible to truly succeed by relying on will, faith, and gathering the hearts of the people together.
Originally, I planned to cultivate to the Creator realm on Taihong Star. However, after I became a Sage, some of my actions caused the dissatisfaction of many mighty figures on Taihong Star.
All the power in this world belongs to oneself. If one wants to modify the world, one has to be strong enough. Without enough strength, it’s just empty talk.
Coincidentally, I obtained information about a spatial passageway when I was wandering in the starry skies around Taihong Star, so I chose to leave and planned to head to another Star Field with very different Dao laws.
In that Star Field, I found an ancient ruin and obtained a legendary Human Monarch’s treasure, which is this small jade cauldron.”
As he spoke, he slowly opened his palm. A three-inch-tall jade cauldron kept spinning in his palm.
It contained an extremely dense Qi of the Human Dao. Sacred water light and the flames of civilization were also flickering slightly on it, as if an incomparably powerful human expert was about to appear.
“This is indeed a powerful treasure.” Cui Heng stared at the small jade cauldron and nodded. “It should have reached the limit of the 12 True World Realms.”
In terms of strength and aura, this small jade cauldron had far exceeded the limit of the Mid-stage Soul Formation realm.
It had even begun to touch the Late-stage Soul Formation realm.
If it was before he broke through to the Late-stage Soul Formation realm, he would have to retreat when facing this small jade cauldron.
“Yes, Teacher, you’re right.” Hong Fugui nodded and said, “When I obtained this jade cauldron back then, I also obtained some books that described it.
“According to the description in the books, this jade cauldron is a treasure that the Human Monarch carried with him before he attained the Dao. It’s the pinnacle weapon among the ranks of the 12 True World Realms. If one can completely comprehend the mysteries within, they might be able to step into the so-called Dao Realm.
It’s precisely the traces of power contained in this small cauldron that allowed me to explore my future cultivation path, and it also allowed my cultivation realm to advance by leaps and bounds.
In order to understand more about the secrets of this small cauldron and perfect my cultivation, I began to search for secret information about the Human Monarch. After searching through the Six Star Fields, I finally found some clues in a ruin.
That legendary Human Monarch is related to the Immortal Domains, but the Immortal Domains have already shattered, and the fragments have become Immortal Lands. Through this small jade cauldron, I found a small Immortal Land world.
In that Immortal Land, my cultivation improved further. However, I suddenly feel that there’s a gaze paying attention to me from an endless height, as if it wants to absorb and refine me.
At that time, I didn’t know what it was. I thought that it was a problem with the Immortal Land, so I left and continued to rely on the power of the small jade cauldron to find another Immortal Land.
In the end, I returned to Taihong Star and discovered a huge void vortex there. I activated the vortex through the small jade cauldron and entered this Immortal Land.
After coming here, I traveled around as an ordinary martial artist and realized that although the cultivation realm of the people here is high, the level of civilization is relatively low. It’s a little strange.
However, this is only the result of my observation. Teacher, you’ve taught me that I can only test the truth through practice, so I didn’t jump to conclusions. Hence, I went to Wu Country’s Qingshui Pass to join the army.
It was also in Qingshui Pass that I received guidance and learned the cultivation method of True Immortals and Paramount True Immortals. I understood what I encountered in that small Immortal Land.
At that time, I felt that there was definitely something wrong with this cultivation method, but because of the limits of my knowledge and realm, I couldn’t reach an accurate conclusion, so I could only continue to search for information about the Human Monarch.
Later on, I went to a few places related to the legends of the Human Monarch. The Central Capital Royal City was one of them. After I arrived, the Human Emperor suddenly attacked and captured me. The small jade cauldron did not even have the time to counterattack.
The Human Emperor wanted to possess me and obtain the Human Monarch’s inheritance and treasures, but because of the small jade cauldron on me, he didn’t succeed. Later on, I was locked up in that small world by him.
After 200 years, he claimed to be prepared and tried to possess me again. However, he didn’t know that in the past 200 years, my control over the small jade cauldron had improved.
What happened next is what you saw, Teacher… Teacher, actually, I have a feeling that there’s always a hand pushing me along in the dark.
It’s like someone was pushing me into this world, but there are no obvious traces. I wonder if it’s an illusion.”
“Let’s sort it out.” Cui Heng thought for a moment and said, “The main reason why you entered this Immortal Land was because of this small jade cauldron. However, you only obtained it because you took the initiative to pursue clues about the Human Monarch.
If we continue to trace the source, you obtained the small jade cauldron because you went to that Star Field. The reason why you went to that Star Field was because of the information about the spatial passageway.
But the reason why you obtained the information about that spatial passageway is because you once traveled the starry skies around Taihong Star. What was the cause of this trip?”
The Star Field Hong Fugui was talking about was one of the two Star Fields adjacent to the Star Field where the Heaven Realm was located.
When the Heaven Realm was at its peak, it had attacked that Star Field and occupied the Heaven Gate of that Star Field.
The spatial passageway that Hong Fugui had used was a remnant of that era.
However, that was a secret that only experts above the Fourth Heaven Gate Realm knew.
At that time, Hong Fugui was still a Sage and should not have come into contact with this level of information.
Moreover, it was a little strange to obtain such information just from traveling.
“It’s because I met someone,” Hong Fugui said in a low voice. “At that time, I was vexed about how to spread the cultivation method I created and often went out for a walk.
When I went out for a walk once, I met an old man. He saw through my depression and advised me, suggesting that I could temporarily leave the place of depression and go out to relax.
That was why I decided to travel. At that time, I found a ruin in a starry sky around Taihong Star and discovered a spatial passageway to another Star Field.”
“If that’s the case, there should be something wrong with that old man.” Cui Heng nodded and said in a low voice, “Do you remember what he looked like?”
“I remember.” Hong Fugui nodded and instantly condensed the image of an old man beside him.
“It’s indeed him.” Cui Heng’s eyes lit up with a dark yellow light. Through this image, he could actually see the true essence of the old man’s appearance.
It was Zhou Juntian!
