Chapter 429: Sleepless Night and Rotten Wooden Box
Ever since the Da Luo sword fetus was sent to the imperial palace by a living creature and fell into Wang Heng's hands, the cause and effect between him and the Corpse Immortal Emperor was already doomed.
One is a creature that has become the Immortal Emperor, but there is something wrong with it, and the other is a creature that is attacking the Immortal Emperor and has a high chance of success. No matter what, the two will intersect, which is inevitable.
Standing in front of the corpse to prove the Immortal Emperor is not much different from proving the Immortal Emperor far away on the other side of the boundary sea. To the Immortal Emperor, the distance of the boundary sea is really nothing.
Even if the corpse is trapped in chains, the Taoism is not perfect. Just breathing can disintegrate the world on this side of the boundary sea. The creatures at this level are already unimaginably powerful and beyond common sense.
Therefore, when Wang Heng proves to be the Immortal Emperor in the heavens and worlds, the fluctuations cannot be hidden from the Immortal Emperor of Corpses, and they are bound to wake him up.
By then, the two may face each other directly and attack each other.
Therefore, before that, Wang Heng had to make some preparations.
It was not that he was afraid of the power of the Corpse Immortal Emperor, but that he was prepared for danger in times of peace and to prevent accidents from happening.
Controlling the Great Luo Sword Fetus and Rotten Wooden Box in advance can prevent the Corpse Immortal Emperor from being completed.
Of course, if Wang Heng does not become the Immortal Emperor, the so-called control in front of the Corpse Immortal Emperor will be a joke.
In essence, he still has to step into that supreme realm.
Wang Heng did not leave the imperial palace immediately, but called his first general Furukawa, gave him some powers, explained many things, and then returned to his residence in the imperial palace alone.
As night fell, Wang Heng sat on a stone chair in his residence, closing his eyes and meditating. This stone chair was not simple. It was made of World Stone. The whole body was filled with rich power of the World, making it appear particularly thick and honest.
Suddenly, the door of the room was pushed open, and two beautiful women walked in one after another.
One is Haoxuan, who is graceful, slender, and as beautiful as a fairy. She has a majestic look on the world. After becoming a giant, she has had this temperament since she was a child, which fits the image of an emperor and empress.
The other one is tall and slender, extremely beautiful, and extremely beautiful, just like the green moon of the fairy walking out of the painting. There is a green moon rising behind her head, the moonlight is bright and otherworldly.
The two women have completely different styles. When they stand together, they are like two bright pearls placed together, setting off each other, making them even more beautiful.
Wang Heng opened his eyes. Even though he was already an emperor, he was still a little dazed when he saw the two empresses appearing side by side.
"Will the Emperor of Heaven be surprised too?"
Haoxuan opened her red lips lightly, breathed out the fragrance, and said this.
"Yes, I thought that the Emperor of Heaven was so high above him that he would not change his expression even if a mountain collapsed in front of him." Qingyue on the side also showed a smile and agreed.
Wang Heng came back to his senses and replied with a smile: "The Emperor of Heaven will naturally not be overjoyed unless he really can't help it."
As he said that, he opened his arms, and the two women had a clear understanding of each other. They rushed over and were taken into Wang Heng's arms.
The dim lights, the charming atmosphere, and the warm fragrance are all destined to be a sleepless night for Wang Heng, the Emperor of Heaven.
To be precise, Wang Heng was immersed in it for more than one night, and several years passed.
This can be regarded as multiple relaxations in the mind, spirit, and body after a hundred thousand years of war.
When Wang Heng stepped out of the imperial palace, it was already five years after the end of the war. Recalling these five years is really unforgettable.
However, as the Emperor of Heaven, Wang Hengdao is determined and cannot be trapped in a gentle land without extricating himself. He still has many things to do.
The light of the Quasi-Immortal Emperor filled the air, and the Immortal Fetus Qi machine shook the past and present. Wang Heng left the Heng Emperor Universe in an instant, walked out of the Immortal Realm, and came all the way to the vast and mysterious Burial Realm.
Although the teleportation array network has been established in all the worlds, all worlds are connected to each other, and the fires of civilization collide and send out brilliant sparks, there are exceptions, and that is the burial ground.
This place is adjacent to a foreign land and a primitive ancient world. It is built from layers of burial soil. There lives a strange race - the burial warriors. This race spends most of their lives in sleep. That is their Practice.
It often takes half an era, or even an era, to sleep, which makes the burial area extremely quiet. It is rare to see walking burial people. Basically, they lie in their own coffins, not seeing the light of day.
Because of the special nature of this world, its interactions with all the worlds are infrequent, and no one will disturb the peace of the Buried Warriors clan.
Wang Heng walked on the vast expanse of burial soil. In just one step, he arrived at his destination.
It was a place called the Eternal Land by the Burial Warriors, and it was adjacent to the Holy Land of the Burial Warriors. Since ancient times, this place has been filled with endless legends.
Legend has it that there is an ownerless body hidden deep in the earth. Whoever can take possession of it will be able to obtain the supreme body and the supreme secret technique. Some people also say that there is a treasure hidden inside, which is very important to the Immortal King. Very useful.
However, no matter how exciting the legend is, the creatures of the Burial family do not dare to set foot in this terrifying forbidden land. Some people have tried to step into it, but as a result, they all encountered unexpected events.
In fact, people have long been concerned about this E-land. Anlan Yutuo, a foreign land, began to send monks to E-land a long time ago, hoping to uncover the fog and take away the treasures buried deep in the E-land.
They once thought that the things deep in the Ertu were related to the ancient artifacts that opened the origin.
As time goes by, this possibility has long been ruled out, but the two immortal kings' thoughts on Ertu have not diminished.
The war in the dam world had just ended. An Lan and Yu Tuo, who survived, returned to the foreign land and immediately began to explore the affairs of Etu.
Even a powerful king like the Immortal King was afraid of the Burial King in the Land of Evil and did not dare to come out in person. He still sent creatures with low cultivation to explore in depth as before.
Unfortunately, they could not overcome the various shackles deep in the Land of Evil for a while.
Wang Heng came and reigned here. He stood in the sky and overlooked the endless land.
The whole Land of Evil came into Wang Heng's eyes. It was constructed by a dark ocean. There was a mysterious energy inside, which was shrinking and undulating like a tide, intimidating all outsiders.
It can be seen that outside the dark ocean, on the ground, there were piles of snow-white bones, all left by creatures who came to the Land of Evil to explore treasures. Many of them still sparkled with crystal light. They must have been strong men of the same level when they were alive.
Wang Heng ignored it and walked straight to the center of the black ocean.
During this process, a strange law swept over like an ocean. If it were an ordinary creature, it would have lost its flesh and blood, leaving only bones.
However, Wang Heng was surrounded by the sacred light of the Quasi-Immortal Emperor, isolating everything and blocking the law outside, so he was not affected.
In the distance, on the black land, a group of monks sent by Anlan Yutuo were risking death and moving forward, approaching the dark ocean.
Their flesh and blood had disappeared, turning into skeletons.
Suddenly, these skeletons saw the sacred human-shaped light ball above the dark ocean and were all shocked.
"What is that? A living creature? How is it possible?"
Everyone was shocked beyond words, opened their mouths, and could not calm down.
In such a terrifying forbidden place, how could there be a living creature floating above the dark ocean?
Wang Heng ignored the skeletons and descended directly into a temple standing in the center of the dark ocean.
The temple is ancient, and all the buildings are tall and majestic. There are many mysterious symbols engraved on them. The law that makes the flesh and blood of living beings invisible comes from here.
Wang Heng saw at a glance that this temple was used to seal something, and it has been sealed here for who knows how many epochs.
At some sealing nodes, many cracks and remains of artifacts can be clearly seen.
These artifacts gave Wang Heng a very familiar feeling. His eyes moved and he immediately understood everything.
An Lan and Yu Tuo kept sending living beings here to break the seal. For this reason, they refined a lot of ancient artifacts of the Immortal King level to break the seal. After many epochs, some fragile nodes finally cracked.
He did not hesitate, and directly stretched out his palm and slapped it towards the sealing node.
The palm of the person who condensed the immortal fetus was as warm as jade, and looked very gentle, but in fact it was terrifying. With one palm, the long river of time would be cut off.
With just one palm, the seal node made a terrifying "crack" sound and broke apart.
"Boom!"
The sky collapsed and the earth cracked. When the seal was broken, the sealed things inside would come out, causing earth-shaking fluctuations.
The dark ocean rioted, constantly surging, and submerged everything around.
The group of skeletons on the distant land who were trembling on their way felt that the earth was shaking, and a dark wave that covered the sky and the sun rolled up in front of them, sweeping the sky and the earth, rushing towards them.
"No, the seal has been opened, we can't stay here, run." The leader shouted.
Suddenly, a group of skeletons scattered and fled, running desperately towards the edge of the land of doom.
Wang Heng naturally didn't care about these, floated up a little, stood in the void, and quietly waited for the things inside to appear.
"Boom!"
The dark energy tide rose and fell, and the place where the temple was located completely collapsed. Then, a dark red tomb emerged from the black energy sea and rose above the water.
This tomb is very large, and its majesty and momentum can be felt from a distance. The dark red tomb body seems to be stained with blood. It is magnificent, like an immortal fairy city descending from the great crack of time and space.
The fleeing skeletons looked back and saw this scene, and they were all shocked. The treasure that the Immortal King was planning was about to be born, but they had to flee to save their lives and could only watch.
All the living beings inexplicably thought of the human-shaped light ball they had seen before. In an instant, they thought of a lot.
Could it be that the living being opened the seal?
While thinking, the dark red tomb began to collapse, and the black waves became more and more violent, sweeping across the sky and drowning everything.
Finally, everything was calm. In the center of the black ocean, the tomb cracked, and a box emerged from the tomb, floating in the ocean.
It was an extremely old wooden box, very old and tattered. It had existed for a long time and looked like it might break down at any time. However, the surface of the box exuded a soft light golden glow, which looked sacred and peaceful.
A group of creatures who had escaped from the dead came to the outside of the land of evil. They had recovered their flesh and blood and were no longer skeletons. Seeing that the tide had stopped, they quickly opened their eyes and looked towards the center of the dark ocean, just in time to see the rotten wooden box floating on the ocean.
"Is that the treasure that the Immortal King longed for?" The monk muttered to himself.
Without waiting for them to make any move, Wang Heng sank from the sky, came to the rotten wooden box, grabbed the rotten wooden box with one hand, and then disappeared on the spot.
"The treasure that the Immortal King had set his eyes on was snatched away by someone, but who on earth could take away the treasure so easily."
"It has nothing to do with us. It is not something we can guess."
After that, a group of creatures sighed and set off on their way home.
Wang Heng, having already obtained what he wanted, embarked on his journey home.
The rotten wooden box, sacred and gentle, quietly sank and floated in Wang Heng's hands.
Those who didn't know it would regard it as some kind of treasure. In terms of hardness, the rotten wooden box was superior to others, and even the slash of the quasi-immortal emperor soldiers was useless. However, those who knew its origin had a solemn look on their faces.
You know, this rotten wooden box contained a part of the pure Yuanshen of an immortal emperor, which was extremely terrifying, and the cause and effect were boundless. No one wanted to be contaminated by such things, but Wang Heng was different. He had already obtained the Daluo Sword Embryo and had been entangled with the corpse immortal emperor. Taking away the rotten wooden box was also a helpless move.
Not long after, he returned to the Hengdi universe and returned to the secret room in the Hengdi Palace.
After studying the wooden box in his hand for a while and not getting any substantial gains, Wang Heng carefully put away the rotten wooden box and applied layer after layer of seals.
After doing all this, he let out a long breath and cast his eyes on himself.
Since the three bodies turned into qi, returned to the flower buds of the Great Dao, and condensed the immortal fetus against the will of heaven, Wang Heng has not carefully explored his own practice.
At this moment, Wang Heng is in the immortal fetus formed by the condensation of immortal qi and immortal light, constantly evolving and approaching perfection.
He has been in this state for a long time and has not withdrawn because of time. This shows that Wang Heng's transformation and sublimation are very thorough, with a solid foundation, and he is still in the process of continuous transformation.
In the body, every particle world has ushered in earth-shaking changes. The cultivation environment and resources in the world have more than doubled, causing great shock and changes to the creatures living in the inner world.
Almost every creature has advanced and surpassed their original realm.
The immortal kings who stand at the forefront of the system development also seized the good opportunity of the great changes in the world, breaking through one after another, and gradually approaching the quasi-immortal emperor.
Correspondingly, on the system tree, the system fruits they correspond to are becoming more and more mature, making Wang Heng's practice more terrifying, and everything is in a virtuous circle.
Of course, before Wang Heng truly achieved the status of Immortal Emperor, the creatures in the Infinite Particle World could not break through to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm. They would always be one realm lower than Wang Heng.
However, Wang Heng had a hunch that if he wanted to achieve the status of Immortal Emperor, he had to make the system pioneers of these inner worlds reach the realm of Immortal King perfection. If there were any flaws, he would not be able to succeed.
