Chapter 436: The Real Realm and the Illusory Realm

Some humans were shocked.

At this time, the Primordial World was no longer the Primordial World of fifty billion years ago.

Take Kunlun Immortal Mountain, for example. From the outside, it was a mountain body, but once one entered, they would discover that it was an area where countless great universes were superimposed.

Within Kunlun Immortal Mountain, various passages connected numerous great universes, connecting universes that contained all dimensions, vacuums, origins, and civilizations.

Numerous materialistic universes and idealistic universes were all included.

As for the Youmi Kingdom, it was a place in the opposite direction of Kunlun Immortal Mountain.

Kunlun Immortal Mountain was located in the far eastern region of the Primordial World, the extreme east.

The Youmi Kingdom, on the other hand, was located in the far western region of the Primordial World, the extreme west.

In a word, the distance between Kunlun Immortal Mountain and the Youmi Kingdom was so vast that even a cultivator who could cross tens of trillions of great universes in a single step would need a million years to travel from one side to the other.

Now, this mackerel spirit could rest its head on Kunlun Immortal Mountain and its feet on the Youmi Kingdom.

One could imagine how large this fish was!

All the humans in the Primordial World deeply understood the immensity of its body.

And this fish, after appearing for less than a moment, immediately turned from substance to void, and then disappeared.

But people knew that this mackerel spirit had truly existed.

"This mackerel spirit has disappeared?"

"She seems to have transitioned to another realm."

"A realm that exists on a spiritual level? No, it's not that simple, I can't find her."

Among the human race, there were quite a few Immortal King level powerhouses. These powerhouses discovered that the mackerel spirit had suddenly disappeared, having transferred to a spiritual realm. However, after they subdued their minds and used their hearts to imprint their minds onto the spiritual realm, they still could not find her.

This mackerel spirit was extremely proficient in the arts of the mind and illusion. No one knew what spiritual or mental dimension her true body was currently in.

"Report to the Human Heavenly Court."

The various Immortal King level powerhouses made their decision.

In fact, even without their report, the high-ranking Quasi-Immortal Emperors of the Human Heavenly Court had already learned of this matter.

...

"A mackerel spirit existing in a deep spiritual and mental realm?"

Suirenshi, who was already a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, looked at the document submitted by the human race below.

"Title: Analysis of the Ancient Saint in Green Robes."

"Description: The maiden in green robes revealed her mackerel form, leading to the inference that she is a mackerel spirit."

"Her true form is extremely colossal, capable of spanning both Kunlun Immortal Mountain and the Youmi Kingdom. Countless great universes are not even as large as a single scale on her body."

"Although size does not necessarily represent strength, a size so immense implies that an Immortal King level existence would absolutely not be her match, no matter how many there were."

"It is inferred that she is a Quasi-Immortal Emperor level existence. Whether she is in the early or peak stage of Quasi-Immortal Emperor has not been determined."

"After she transformed into void, her current dwelling place..."

Suirenshi peered intently at the bottom of the document.

"Creation has three parts: the substantial, the illusory, and the non-illusory."

"The target is not in the substantial part, but in the illusory part."

The illusory part?

Suirenshi understood in his heart that this was a new concept.

Before the Ancient Saint in Green Robes appeared, there was clearly no such thing as an illusory part.

The substantial part referred to the Primordial World.

The illusory part was within the Primordial World, but in a place they could not access.

How to access it would depend on future analysis.

Suirenshi personally used various means to delve into numerous spiritual and mental dimensions to investigate.

He did not truly see the mackerel spirit.

But he saw many mental worlds.

He saw the romantic emperor in the Green Jade Palace.

He saw the warring Overlord Xiang Yu and Consort Yu.

He saw the Green Pearl Tower, composed of countless mirrors, and the myriad bizarre worlds within the Myriad Mirror Platform.

He saw the Yanluo Heavenly Emperor, and also Qin Hui and Yue Fei.

He saw a book titled "Kunlun Beiji" (Kunlun Separate Records).

He saw, in a small moon cave, a young boy and a young girl seemingly slaying a mackerel spirit.

"This is..."

Suirenshi focused his gaze, and the myriad mental worlds turned upside down.

Under Suirenshi's great divine power, their true forms were revealed, and it turned out to be a single breath.

The breath exhaled by the mackerel.

Suirenshi immediately understood everything.

"So it was the mackerel's breath that confused me, causing me to see all sorts of illusions."

"The illusions seem both real and false, indicating the mackerel's extraordinary nature. She is undoubtedly an ancient saint, even among Quasi-Immortal Emperors."

"Although I have now found some traces of her, I am still bewildered by her breath."

"Now, I don't know where she has gone."

"Now that many ancient saints are preparing to attack the Human Heavenly Court, should I continue to follow the clues and pursue her?"

Suirenshi fell into deep thought.

...

The descent of many ancient saints this time was naturally not limited to the maiden in green robes.

In the Western lands, beneath a dilapidated temple, there was a disturbance.

A wisp of ghost fire, which had been dormant beneath the temple, suddenly awakened.

A vast power was brought forth from the Dao fruit of the land of nothingness.

In an instant, the power of this ghost fire soared layer by layer.

The wind began to blow.

In the fierce wind, tree after tree fell.

The wisp of ghost fire then transformed into a human form.

The Ancient Saint - Lone Fire Ghost King descended!

Lone Fire Ghost King looked at the dilapidated temple and exclaimed, "Strange, strange! Even though I have descended, I am still here?"

"Is the location still the Great Thunderclap Temple? This must be a karmic connection from the past tribulation."

It turned out that although the Primordial World had expanded countless times, some larger locations could still correspond.

For example, Buzhou Mountain, the Sea of Blood, Kunlun Mountain, and the Western lands still existed.

Lone Fire Ghost King naturally recognized this as the Western lands.

Furthermore, in the past tribulation, within the hundred tribulations, this was almost always the location of the Great Thunderclap Temple during the Journey to the West era.

"Great Thunderclap Temple."

"During the past tribulation..."

Lone Fire Ghost King's face was blank as he recalled the past.

...

Lone Fire Ghost King was originally a transmigrator from Earth.

He had transmigrated to the era of the Witch and Demon tribes, becoming a fire spirit.

Among the ten thousand races of the Demon Court, most were animal-based, whether they were birds, beasts, or sea creatures.

Plant-based beings were very few.

As for races like fire spirits and stone spirits, they were even rarer.

Lone Fire Ghost King's origins were not high. He was well aware of the terror of tribulations and the limitations of his own potential. He did not participate in the Witch-Demon tribulation but instead went to remote areas to search for cultivation treasures.

Since ancient times, cultivation has had four essential elements: "Dharma," "Wealth," "Companions," and "Land."

Lone Fire Ghost King had no companions, no wealth, and no dharma.

However, in the Primordial World of the ancient Witch and Demon era, finding a spiritual mountain and treasure land was possible with some effort.

After enduring countless hardships, Lone Fire Ghost King finally found a top-tier cultivation treasure land in the Western lands.
