For the green-robed maiden, a Primordial Saint of no weak standing among Quasi-Immortal Emperors, the threat level to the Human Race was high. If left unchecked, parts of the Human Heavenly Court's dominion could fall and be damaged.
The solution was one that Suirenshi, also a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, personally undertook.
As for the Lone Fire Ghost King, he was ultimately just a Primordial Saint at the strength of an Immortal King Giant, not even reaching the Supreme Giant level.
To the Human Heavenly Court, his threat level was very low. It was not easy for him to stir up trouble.
It was sufficient to dispatch a few Human Immortal Kings to suppress and slay him.
The overall strength of the Human Heavenly Court was continuously growing.
Previously, beings like Primordial Saint Lu Ya Daojun and Primordial Saint Chuangshi Yuanling required Fang Ming to act personally.
But now, the Lone Fire Ghost King, whose strength was not much different from theirs, could be easily dispatched by the Human Heavenly Court to be killed.
Even the green-robed maiden, though posing a higher threat, only required a Human Quasi-Immortal Emperor to act, not Fang Ming himself.
This demonstrated the growth of the Human Heavenly Court.
...
An Eternal Gate opened.
Several Human Immortal Kings, Supreme Giants, entered the myriad realms formed by a portion of the Western lands.
Fierce fighting sounds emanated from there.
But in the end, the Lone Fire Ghost King was killed.
And the Human Supreme Giants suffered no casualties.
Fang Ming, who had been hidden in the shadows, also converted the Lone Fire Ghost King's cultivation using the energy converter as he perished.
[Lone Fire Ghost King]
[Cultivation: Immortal King Giant]
[Innate Divine Ability: Five Dou Fire]
[Dual cultivation of Immortal and Divine, possesses a Divine Kingdom, within which are billions of believers, possessing Immortal Dao...]
Fang Ming did not look at anything else, directly absorbing the Lone Fire Ghost King's cultivation, innate divine abilities, his Divine Kingdom, and his Immortal Dao attainments and techniques, everything in one go.
The cultivation of an Immortal King Giant entered his body.
Fang Ming's Imperial Dao laws increased slightly from ninety-five percent, but still did not reach ninety-six percent.
"The cultivation of an Immortal King Giant is still too weak."
"It cannot even advance my Imperial Dao laws by one percent."
"Now, Primordial Saints at the Immortal King level are almost useless to me. At least Quasi-Immortal Emperor level Primordial Saints, or even Immortal Emperor level Primordial Saints, would be useful."
Fang Ming sighed.
As for the Lone Fire Ghost King's innate divine abilities, Divine Kingdom, and Immortal Dao attainments?
These might be of great use to any Immortal King in the Perfect Realm. For them, obtaining the lifelong accumulation and foundation of a Primordial Saint would be a great fortune.
The various attainments of the Lone Fire Ghost King could even give them hope of breaking through from King to Emperor.
But for Fang Ming, they were almost useless.
The so-called breaking through from King to Emperor did not refer to becoming an Immortal Emperor, but merely a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.
Inheritance that held the hope of reaching the Quasi-Immortal Emperor or even Immortal Emperor realm was not uncommon for Fang Ming. When Fang Ming had obtained Lu Ya Daojun's Innate Li Fire Physique, he might have felt some excitement, but now he no longer did.
Fang Ming's perspective had broadened.
He no longer looked down upon such things.
...
In the expanded Chaos, within the Primordial World, Fang Ming adopted a two-layered structure.
Heavenly Realm, Mortal Realm.
The myriad realms that the Eternal Gates led to, hundreds of billions, even trillions of myriad realms, were only within the Mortal Realm.
The Heavenly Realm, on the other hand, referred to the place where the Human Heavenly Court resided.
The Heavenly Realm had thirty-three layers of heaven, and within each layer of heaven, there were countless immortal holy realms and immortal palaces.
Hundreds of billions, even trillions, of Eternal Gates were established in the first layer of heaven, the Taihuang Heaven.
Taihuang Heaven, this layer of heaven, served as a convenient passage to the mortal world. If Human Immortals and Gods wished to descend from the Heavenly Court to the mortal world, they only needed to pass through the trillions of Eternal Gates to reach the myriad realms of the corresponding number.
Each myriad realm had a number and could be designated for deployment to a specific region.
In such a vast Primordial World, the Human Heavenly Court could still maintain effective rule, and half of the credit was due to these Eternal Gates.
Otherwise, fleeing would take years, and with such inconvenient transportation, the ruling power would have declined to an unknown extent.
The reason for this structure in the Primordial World was that Fang Ming, during its creation, had referenced the characteristics of the Five Elements Heavenly Palace interface created by Jin Bifeng.
The interface where the Five Elements Heavenly Palaces were located also possessed a two-layered structure, a Heavenly Realm and a Mortal Realm, and there were also convenient transportation methods like Heavenly Horses.
It was just that the Heavenly Realm of that interface did not have the division of thirty-three layers of heaven, whereas the Primordial World had the division of thirty-three layers of heaven.
In the thirty-three layers of heaven in the Heavenly Realm, each palace, each immortal realm, was an independent great world.
Some of these palaces and heavenly palaces were materialistic, with distance divisions, and one could enter the heavenly palace simply by walking in.
Some palaces were idealistic, where the distance was not determined by physical proximity, but by the distance of the heart.
If one's heart wished to enter a particular heavenly palace, they could see and enter it within moments.
If one's heart did not deliberately think of a specific heavenly palace, even if they saw it nearby, it would be like an illusion, and no matter how far they walked, they would never reach it.
This employed a technology that was a blend of the material and the spiritual.
The key was the adoption of Buddhist methods.
As the saying goes, the spiritual mountain is only in your heart.
To enter the spiritual mountain, one did not need to travel thousands of miles; one only needed to reflect the spiritual mountain in their heart to enter.
If one did not comprehend, even a thousand miles would be in vain.
If one comprehended, the ground beneath their feet was the spiritual mountain.
Of the thirty-three layers of heaven in the Heavenly Realm, the first layer was Taihuang Heaven, the second was Yuwan Heaven, the third was Qinghe Heaven, the fourth was Xuantai Heaven, the fifth was Yuánmíng Heaven...
Among the thirty-three layers of heaven, there was a layer called Lihen Heaven.
Lihen Heaven was the source of the Milky Way, also known as the Heavenly River. It flowed from this origin to the other thirty-three layers of heaven, and to all universes, dimensions, time-spaces, and civilizations.
The waters of the Milky Way flowed through the thirty-three layers of heaven, vast and boundless, shimmering with light, dotted with stars, and clear to the bottom.
The pebbles beneath the stream radiated a dazzling, gem-like brilliance.
In the Milky Way, every star, every wave, every stone, was composed of countless nebulae, galaxies, and star fields.
If one delved into every wave, every stone, every star, they would enter a material universe truly filled with billions of galaxies.
And among these countless stones at the bottom of the Milky Way.
In Lihen Heaven, by the banks of the Milky Way, grew a Crimson Pearl Immortal Grass.
At this moment, a young boy dressed as an immortal palace attendant waded through the water.
The boy wore crimson auspicious robes and had skin like ice and bones like jade, with an extraordinary demeanor.
He was the Divine Ying Attendant of the Scarlet Chasm Palace.
Looking at the Crimson Pearl Immortal Grass, he sensed its power and knew it had not yet developed sentience.
The boy sighed, as if he felt he had missed something.
"Crimson Pearl Immortal Grass... has not yet developed sentience?"
The boy whispered, "In this tribulation, I fear there will be no Lin Daiyu..."
It turned out that the boy was indeed the Divine Ying Attendant of the Scarlet Chasm Palace, an attendant within a palace called the Scarlet Chasm Palace in Lihen Heaven.
However, his consciousness was not that of the Divine Ying Attendant of this tribulation, but that of the Divine Ying Attendant from a tribulation thousands of kalpas ago.
