Jiang Heng slowly opened his eyes and found that he was already in the wild world, and he was still in the Fire Cloud Cave.
Scenes from "Perfect World" appeared before Jiang Heng's eyes, and he had never forgotten every detail of Emperor Huangtian's growth.
All kinds of insights about the great avenue, various insights about the realm of the quasi-immortal emperor and the realm of the immortal emperor were all kept in Jiang Heng's mind.
But Jiang Heng soon discovered that his current realm was still only the realm of the Immortal King, and he had not broken through to the realm of the Quasi-Immortal Emperor.
Jiang Hengke clearly remembered that in "Perfect World", he witnessed the growth of Emperor Huangtian and his own transformation.
From the realm of the Immortal King to the quasi-Immortal Emperor, or even stepping into the realm of the Immortal Emperor with one foot, Jiang Heng has done this before.
But just like a big dream, everything Jiang Heng experienced in "Perfect World" was like a dream that was both true and false.
No matter how real the dream is, it is still just a dream. If Jiang Heng can achieve a breakthrough in cultivation in a dream, it is naturally impossible for it to be reflected back in reality.
But for Jiang Heng, this was more than just a dream. The experience in it was so real, so why was it just a dream?
Not to mention anything else, at the very least, the various creations and mysteries about the realm of the Quasi-Immortal Emperor are still flowing in Jiang Heng's heart.
Jiang Heng knew extremely firmly that as long as he practiced in seclusion for a period of time, he would be able to reach the highest level and step into the realm of the quasi-immortal emperor.
Moreover, this is just Jiang Heng's beginning. The Immortal Emperor is Jiang Heng's goal, but it will never be Jiang Heng's end.
However, Jiang Heng did not retreat immediately to make a breakthrough, but prepared to see how long his dream lasted.
"Seven days in the middle of the mountain means a thousand years in the world!" Jiang Heng exclaimed, explaining away the illusion and reality of the dream just now.
In "Perfect World", Jiang Heng stayed for more than two million years, which was a long time even for the prehistoric world.
The prehistoric world has not been that long in the past, but hundreds of thousands of years have passed since Jiang Heng practiced in seclusion.
Hundreds of thousands of years is not a long time, but it is definitely not a short time. It is even enough for a civilization to evolve to an incredible extent.
From Jiang Heng's understanding, the prehistoric world has been relatively peaceful in recent years. The only variable is probably the paradise created by two saints from the Western religion.
With two saints, Jieyin and Zhunti, personally in charge, and five archangels at the quasi-sage level, Heaven has become quite powerful in recent years.
In the ancient world, many races have been conquered by Heaven and have become the source of faith and pawns of Heaven.
Because of its own strength, the human race has not been greatly affected, but has a tendency to become stronger and stronger.
This is also a normal situation. Nowadays, all the luck in the ancient world is concentrated in the human race. Naturally, there are many geniuses among the human race.
With the cultivation method Jiang Heng left behind, those with some talent among the human race will basically embark on the path of cultivation.
As time goes by, more and more powerful people are born in the human race, and the human race becomes more and more powerful because of this.
In addition, among the human race, there are several peak quasi-sages such as Yang Jian, Nezha, Kong Xuan, etc., who are not afraid of other incarnations of saints.
Over the years, Heaven has not wanted to extend its influence to the human race, but in the end it always ended in failure.
Knowing the current situation in the ancient world, Jiang Heng couldn't help but sneer in his heart. The two saints Jie Yin and Zhunti really couldn't stop.
In fact, logically speaking, after the great defeat in the Journey to the West, the situation of Saint Zhunti would actually become extremely bad.
After all, Saint Zhunti took advantage of the odds when he became a saint, and therefore owed immeasurable merit to heaven.
Originally, at the time of the journey to the west, the Western religion was supposed to flourish. And as long as Western religion flourishes, it will be easy to gather immeasurable merit.
At that time, Saint Zhunti will naturally be able to repay the merits owed to Heaven, thus completely stabilizing his holy status.
But who asked Jiang Heng to pull the plug, and first used various means to make the matter of studying scriptures in the West fall into the hands of Mahayana Buddhism.
Hongjun, the founder of Western Buddhism and Taoism, also took advantage of their tactics and secretly subdued Mahayana Buddhism's Lord Mahavairocana and its Buddhist sutra collector Tang Sanzang.
But neither the Western Sect nor Taoist ancestor Hongjun had ever imagined that Jiang Heng could cover up the truth and replace Tang Sanzang with Fuxi.
Everything that Western religion and Taoist ancestor Hongjun had planned so hard helped Fuxi lay the foundation for sainthood in one fell swoop.
Mahayana Buddhism even merged with Western religions, joined the human race, and became part of the human race's power.
From that moment on, the Western religion existed in name only. Not only was it unable to gather immeasurable merit, but its own destiny was completely exhausted.
The two saints, Zhunti and Jieyin, as the leaders of the Western religion, will be particularly seriously affected when the Western religion completely dies.
Especially Zhunti Saint, he himself owes the merits of heaven. Now that there is no Western religion, his own realm may not be stable.
Under normal circumstances, Saint Zhunti will definitely fall into the realm of a saint after his journey to the west.
Even in a more serious case, Saint Zhunti even suffered from Taoist injuries that were difficult to heal and would never recover from this.
But looking at the current appearance of Saint Zhunti, he is creating a paradise and jumping up and down in the earthly and immortal world, constantly plotting against the human race.
From this we can see that Saint Zhunti not only did not suffer the slightest backlash, but actually lived an extremely free and unrestrained life.
If it were not for Daozu Hongjun's handwriting, Jiang Heng would naturally not believe it, and Daozu's purpose of doing this was also very simple.
It is nothing more than creating an enemy for the human race, so that the human race will not develop too strong, so that the power of humanity will continue to grow.
To put it bluntly, the two saints Jie Yin and Zhunti were actually the troublemakers in the hands of Taoist ancestor Hongjun.
Even if it cannot pose a fatal threat to Jiang Heng, it is still okay to use it to disgust the human race, or even delay the progress of the human race.
Jiang Heng knew very well that the current Heavenly Dao had been nurtured to the point where it was about to reach perfection. This was an extremely important moment.
If Jiang Heng suddenly attacked at this time, both Tiandao and Dao Ancestor Hongjun would probably be extremely uncomfortable.
If Jiang Heng was determined to die, Tiandao and Daozu Hongjun would probably feel terrified. This is a situation that they are not willing to face.
Because of this, the two saints Jieyin and Zhunti naturally became the most suitable tool men in the eyes of Daozu Hongjun.
But Tiandao and Daozu Hongjun couldn't possibly know that they needed time, and Jiang Heng also needed time.
Tiandao and Daozu Hongjun were unwilling to accept the outcome of both sides losing, but how could Jiang Heng be willing to accept the outcome of both sides losing?
In fact, Jiang Heng has great ambitions. He wants to completely suppress Tiandao and Daozu Hongjun by himself.
There is no need for the help of the Houtu Ancestral Witch, nor the power of the earth, and even the power of humanity condensed in Jiang Heng, Jiang Heng does not need it.
Just like the Emperor of Desolate Heaven, he does not seek external things, only seeks himself, and uses his own power to reach the supreme realm and quell the darkness and turmoil.
It is really hard for Jiang Heng to imagine that if he ends up like Emperor Huangtian, although he becomes enlightened, all his relatives and friends will perish.
When the world is in balance, the whole world is silent, and you are left alone to move forward alone. How miserable will it be?
Jiang Heng would never allow such a thing to happen, so he needed strength, invincible power, the power to calm everything down by himself.
Now, after experiencing this dream of "Perfect World", Jiang Heng saw hope, the hope of completely pacifying the prehistoric world.
Therefore, Jiang Heng just sneered at the two saints Zhunti and Jieying who were jumping up and down, and did not take these two people seriously.
To put it bluntly, even if Jiang Heng didn't take action, he wouldn't be able to make any trouble just by relying on the other incarnations of the two saints Zhunti and Jie Ying.
Just one Yang Jian is enough to make the two saints Jieyin and Zhunti dare not act rashly, not to mention that there are other strong men in the human race.
Although the strength of Nezha and Kong Xuan is a little worse than that of the saint incarnation, the difference is definitely not much, and it is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary peak quasi-sages.
What's more, among the human race, there are two strong men who can be compared to the incarnation of saints, Sun Wukong and Fu Xi.
After the end of Journey to the West, Sun Wukong has practiced the fighting method to a perfect level, becoming a top powerhouse no less than Yang Jian.
Fuxi didn't need to say much. In order to redeem his promise, Jiang Heng gave Fuxi a lot of benefits.
Today, Fuxi has laid the foundation for becoming a saint. Like Yang Jian, he is also the most promising quasi-saint-level powerhouse.
With these powerful men in charge of the human race, even if Jiang Heng doesn't take action, the human race is still as stable as a mountain. The incarnations of two saints, Zhunti and Jie Yin, are not enough.
Of course, it would be another situation if the two saints Jie Yin and Zhunti took the initiative to break the rules and come to the immortal world as saints.
Putting all this aside, after knowing the situation of the human race, Jiang Heng was already ready to practice in seclusion with peace of mind.
Breaking through to the realm of the Quasi-Immortal Emperor, Jiang Heng followed the same path as the Huangtian Emperor. He also opened the sixth secret realm of the human body, and there are gods three feet above his head.
But unlike Emperor Huang Tian, when preparing to enter the realm of quasi-immortal emperor, Jiang Heng wanted to establish his own path in one fell swoop.
It contains hundreds of sutras in one body and accommodates ten thousand ways in one body! This is what Jiang Heng understood after witnessing Emperor Huang Tian's breakthrough to the realm of Immortal Emperor.
This time, Jiang Heng planned to use hundreds of scriptures as the basis to initially evolve his unparalleled imperial method and smelt a brand new god out of ten thousand ways.
Jiang Heng not only witnessed the breakthrough process of Emperor Huangtian, but also took this step in "Perfect World".
Now, it was just another breakthrough. For Jiang Heng, it was naturally not too difficult.
Moreover, after the last experience, Jiang Heng was able to walk more steadily this time and make himself more complete.
Everything was so logical, Jiang Heng knew in his heart that his breakthrough this time would definitely not take too long.
Just when Jiang Heng was practicing in seclusion again, the originally peaceful world was undergoing a huge change.
Since Jiang Heng created the three realms of heaven, earth and man, the saints have returned to the thirty-third heaven, and the prehistoric world has become extremely stable.
Even after experiencing disasters such as the Journey to the West, the ancient world is still stable and has not suffered any trauma.
This is extremely astonishing. Looking at the several calamities in the prehistoric world, every one of them was not so devastating that the whole world was shattered.
When Long Han was measuring the calamity, Dao Ancestor Hongjun fought against Demon Ancestor Hongjun. The battle completely shattered the western land and almost all spiritual veins were completely severed.
During the Lich's calamity, the ancient world was shattered. In the end, it took the help of saints to completely repair the ancient world.
Not to mention the time when the gods were conferred and the calamity was measured, the terrifying battle between saints almost completely destroyed the entire prehistoric world.
But this time during the journey to the west, there was no damage to the three realms of heaven, earth and man. This is naturally the best news for all living beings.
Tens of thousands of years have passed since Journey to the West, and the entire prehistoric world should have been prosperous, but slowly, countless cultivators discovered abnormalities.
First, the most powerful people felt it, and later, as long as their cultivation level reached the fairyland, they could feel something abnormal.
The vitality of the entire prehistoric world is constantly weakening, and it is still weakening at an unimaginable speed.
In just a few hundred years, the vitality in the Earthly Immortal Realm has weakened by 70%, making cultivation more and more difficult.
The whole world seems to have entered the Age of Ending Law. Faced with this strange situation, the human race is naturally the first to bear the brunt.
In the earthly immortal world, there are hundreds of millions of human beings living, and basically all of them will embark on the path of cultivation.
Thanks to the rich vitality of heaven and earth in the Earthly Immortal Realm, as well as the complete cultivation techniques, humans can cultivate to the level of Immortal Realm as long as their qualifications are not too poor.
But because the vitality of heaven and earth continues to weaken, and the number of human races is extremely large, the difficulty of cultivation naturally becomes apparent.
Some creatures who didn't know what was going on began to feel uneasy, and the powerful people who really knew the inside story were also confused at this time.
Many powerful people know that the Earthly Immortal Realm was created by Jiang Heng, the Human Emperor himself, and there are two great achievements left by Jiang Heng.
Whether it is the immortal volcano or the eye of the East China Sea, they can continuously provide the earth and immortal world with vitality.
Theoretically speaking, the vitality of heaven and earth in the Earth Immortal Realm will not gradually decrease at all, and the so-called Age of Ending Dharma is even more nonsense.
But this happened, and some truly top experts, such as Yang Jian and others, have gradually realized that it is not good.
In today's prehistoric world, if you want to change the vitality of the immortal world, only a strong person at the saint level can do it.
No one has a definite answer as to which saint took action, or whether it was someone from above who was planning the plot.
But one thing is certain, that is, as the vitality of heaven and earth gradually decreases, heaven begins to become restless.
As the vitality of heaven and earth decreases, the entire earthly immortal world has fallen into the Age of Ending Dharma, and cultivation has become increasingly difficult.
At this time, Heaven jumped out and began to preach the teachings of Heaven. It also revealed a paradise in heaven.
The small world carefully created by the two saints Jieyin and Zhunti is named after heaven, and it is filled with extremely rich vitality of heaven and earth.
The rich vitality of heaven and earth may not have been a big deal in the previous Earth Immortal World, but in today's Earth Immortal World, it is extremely precious.
In order to practice normally and reach a higher realm, it is not surprising that many creatures choose to go to heaven.
For a time, Heaven's momentum surged, and many powerful people were attracted to it in the Earthly Immortal Realm, and its strength was greatly enhanced.
The human race has Yang Jian and others sitting in charge, but they are standing still. But privately, some people have begun to choose to join Paradise.
Although Jiang Heng has established an unyielding will for the human race since the beginning of the Lich Tribulation, the number of the human race is too much.
Everyone has their own ambitions, and each human race has different thoughts. It is not strange for some people to join Western religions for the sake of cultivation.
In fact, over the years, there have been many traitors among the human race, and some even threw themselves into heaven in order to become immortals.
For Jiang Heng, he would never interfere with the choices of the human race. As long as most of the human race can have an unyielding will, that would be enough.
At this time, in heaven, seeing more and more believers under his command, and the momentum of heaven getting stronger and stronger, the two saints Jieyin and Zhunti also showed happy smiles.
"Senior brother, now that the vitality of heaven and earth is getting thinner and thinner, and the earthly immortal world has entered the Age of Ending Dharma, it is the best time for my heaven to develop and grow!
But that human race is a hard nut to crack. After such a long time, there are still very few humans who have entered my paradise! "Sage Zhunti said.
Saint Zhunti can be said to be very high-spirited at this time, but he has been unable to penetrate into the human race, which makes him a little worried.
"It doesn't matter. The human race is the protagonist of heaven and earth. If it were so easy to surrender, we wouldn't have suffered a huge defeat last time!
Although the human race is powerful, it is not invulnerable. Junior brother should know that the human race does not only exist in the earthly immortal world! "The saint said with a smile.
Seeing the smile on Saint Jieyin's face, Saint Zhunti seemed to understand something and said hesitantly:
"Could it be that Senior Brother is talking about the human world? The human world is named after people. There are indeed endless human races living in it, but they are all mortals.
No matter how many mortals there are, they are still weak in strength, and they may not be able to gather much luck! "
"Although the mortals in the human world are extremely weak, they must not be underestimated. They are the foundation of the entire human race.
If we can control the entire human world in our hands, the human race in the earthly immortal world will become a castle in the air! "The saint said with a smile.
Only then did Saint Zhunti realize it, and said excitedly: "Senior brother, this plan is very clever, this is a plan to draw out the firepower from under the cauldron!
As long as we can control the human world, we will be able to control a part of the human race. It is only a matter of time before heaven develops and grows. "
"It is imperative to plan the human world, but the Human Emperor is not easy to mess with. This matter needs to be carefully planned!" the saint said in a deep voice.
"Hmph! If it weren't for that Human Emperor, how could the Western Sect that my senior brother and I had worked so hard to build exist in name only? This is a mortal enemy!
However, the Human Emperor has never appeared in the wild world since the last calamity, and he doesn't know what he is plotting! "Sage Zhunti said in a deep voice.
Sage Zhunti naturally had a deep hatred for Jiang Heng. If possible, he would have wanted to cut Jiang Heng into pieces.
It is precisely because of Jiang Heng that the Western Sect's plans have repeatedly failed. From the Lich Calamity Tribulation to the Journey to the West Tribulation Calamity, they have never won a single victory.
During the calamity of Journey to the West, Jiang Heng used a stratagem to conceal the truth and turn the Western Sect into a mere existence in name only.
If it had not been for Daozu Hongjun's personal action, Saint Zhunti would have fallen into the holy realm at this time, and would even have become the first saint to fall.
However, precisely because of this, while Saint Zhunti hated Jiang Heng deeply, he was also inexplicably afraid of Jiang Heng.
Since the end of Journey to the West, Jiang Heng has not appeared in the wild world again because he had to practice in seclusion.
The two saints, Zhunti and Jieyin, tried several times after they founded Heaven, but Jiang Heng still never showed up.
Zhunti and Saint Jieyin were really a little confused. They didn't know what Jiang Heng, the human emperor, was hiding in the dark and plotting.
After all, according to Jiang Heng's past style, if he knew that the two saints Jieyin and Zhunti had repeatedly provoked the human race, how could he give up?
Even if Jiang Heng came to kill him directly, the two saints Jie Yin and Zhunti would not be surprised at all.
But Jiang Heng never showed up, which made the two saints Jie Yin and Zhunti feel a little uneasy.
Because of this, although Heaven has been developing rapidly in recent years, both in strength and popularity, the two saints Jie Yin and Zhunti did not dare to go too far.
Provoking the human race was just a test. The two saints, Jieyin and Zhunti, had never really come into conflict with the human race. They were just afraid of Jiang Heng.
"That Human Emperor can no longer be arrogant for much longer. According to what the teacher said, the day when the way of heaven will truly be perfected is not far away!
When the way of heaven is completely perfected, no matter how powerful the human emperor is, there is only one way to die! "The leading saint said in a deep voice.
"Senior brother is right, the teacher is the strongest person in the world, and the Human Emperor was just lucky enough to control the power of humanity!
But in the ancient world, it is still the law of heaven that controls everything, and it is difficult for the human emperor to go against the general trend of heaven! "Sage Zhunti said.
"According to the teacher's instructions, there is not much time until the next calamity is coming. Junior brother should know the importance of this calamity!" the saint said in a deep voice.
"According to what the teacher said, this calamity will completely clean up the world. If we want to take the initiative in the future, we must show something.
Then according to what my senior brother said, I will send an archangel to the human race to spread my faith in heaven! "Sage Zhunti said.
"This is a great idea. Let's do some testing first. If it works, it will be the best. If it doesn't work, we can also deal with it!" The sage nodded and said.
The two saints Jieyin and Zhunti began to plot against the human race, aiming directly at the human race in the human world, hoping to give Jiang Henglai a blow.
But the two saints Jieyin and Zhunti forgot that the human world was Jiang Heng's opposite, and it was also the world Jiang Heng valued most.
Back then, when he was shaping the human world, Jiang Heng specially arranged the Zhoutian Star Formation to seal off the entire human world.
Later, whether it was the immortal volcano or the eye of the East China Sea, Jiang Heng used heaven-reaching methods to infuse the vitality of heaven and earth into the human world.
Jiang Heng wanted to allow mortals to have a stable world, where they would no longer be oppressed by the gods and Buddhas in the sky, and could freely develop their own civilization.
But now, two saints, Jieyin and Zhunti, have turned their attention to the human world. How could Jiang Heng agree?
At the same time, Jiang Heng's breakthrough was about to be completed.
