Chapter 1800: The World Outside
At this point, it is also necessary to leave here and seek Pangu's spiritual inheritance. Because if we continue to delay, I fear that from the side of the Four Great Heavens, more and more experts will keep entering the world of the ancient god.
Chu Mo left the Celestial God Mirror with Qi Xiaoyu for emergency situations.
At the same time, Chu Hui conveyed to Chu Mo the secrets contained within the dharma body of the envoy from the Four Great Heavens who was killed by Yu Hong.
This envoy indeed belonged to a faction sent by one of the Realm Masters of the Four Great Heavens. He was under the command of the Realm Master of the Primordial World's Purple Gold Heaven, and was a true warrior, a top-tier Heavenly People cultivator.
He came here with two main purposes, one of which was to probe the realities within the ancient god's physical world.
Because the Eternal Lord and the three major force leaders had all fallen, this greatly unsettled the Realm Masters of the Four Great Heavens. They sensed something was amiss, so they sent someone to investigate.
The other purpose was to solve the problem!
The dharma body of this Heavenly People cultivator carried a powerful rune life, capable of detonating all its power instantaneously. The intention was to carry out this act immediately upon confirming the identities of those who killed the Eternal Lord and the three major force leaders.
But unexpectedly, it was stopped by another rune life.
Chu Mo relayed this to Yu Hong, who said, "So it seems that the Realm Masters of the Four Great Heavens haven't completely taken this issue seriously yet. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been just a dharma body of a Heavenly People cultivator sent here, but the real person themselves! However, our time is definitely not as much as we imagine. It's possible that the place suppressing the ancient god's spiritual power has already reinforced its defenses. Also, the place where a Realm Master's decree might appear will become a truly dangerous land."
Yu Hong continued, looking at Chu Mo, "Because among the Four Great Heavens, there are many Heavenly People who desire the Realm Master's decree. Even if they cannot become a Realm Master, obtaining immense power from it is possible. This temptation is something few can resist."
Chu Mo said, "Aren't Heavenly People supposed to be indifferent to fame and fortune, not caring about these things?"
"Most Heavenly People are indeed like that; they are indifferent to fame and fortune and do not care about such things. But not all Heavenly People are completely devoid of a desire for power," Yu Hong said. "Therefore, we must make haste and strive to accomplish all these things before they completely wake up to our actions and send people to annihilate us."
Chu Mo nodded.
The situation was dire, and he was well aware of it in his heart.
In these years of seclusion, he truly wished to break through from the ancestral realm to a higher level.
But he had not succeeded.
His combat power was already unparalleled, and his Dao was now smooth as a mirror, almost without flaws. But for some reason, his realm remained unable to truly break through to a higher level.
According to Yu Hong, reaching the ancestral realm is almost the pinnacle that any living being in this world can achieve.
This is truly the ceiling here!
It is just about the ceiling for any type of living being on the path of cultivation!
Reaching this realm, even the most outstanding beings find it exceedingly difficult to proceed further. Truly breaking out of the ancestral realm almost becomes a fantasy.
This is why the Realm Master's decree and Heavenly Lord's decree become so important.
Because once one obtains the Realm Master's decree and Heavenly Lord's decree, it allows an immediate step up in cultivation.
Chu Mo, over these years, had deeply understood how difficult it is to break through to a higher level from the ancestral realm.
Even though he had obtained almost all of Pangu's inheritance, and even though his combat power and Dao had reached an unimaginable level, taking that step forward still remained painstakingly difficult.
In this situation, continuing to stay in the ancient god's physical world had lost its original meaning.
This path, though fraught with life-and-death danger, had to be taken.
Chu Mo, together with Yu Hong, first reached the very edge of the ancient god's physical world. There, the air became incredibly thick, as if there was a wall thoroughly isolating the inside from the outside.
Yu Hong said, "Once we cross this place, we will have truly left the ancient god's physical world!"
Chu Mo's spirit was also stirred at this moment. Over the many years, he had been wandering within the ancient god's physical world. From initial confusion and ignorance to later understanding of the cause and effect. But there had been no chance to truly leave the ancient god's physical world and reach the outside world.
In fact, Chu Mo had always been eager to see what the outside world truly looked like.
"The outside world is really beautiful," Yu Hong said softly. "The ancient god's physical world is more or less an embryonic form of a true Heavenly Realm but is not yet a truly perfect great world."
Chu Mo nodded, and then continued onward with Yu Hong.
The air here became even more viscous, with Dao and law seemingly bonded together completely. Every step forward was extremely difficult.
"This is because we have Pangu's inheritance. For an ordinary person to travel here, it would definitely be even more difficult to move an inch," Yu Hong explained.
Finally, the two reached the true barrier.
Yu Hong said, "Once past this place, we will have truly left the ancient god's physical world, and ahead, the thick area is the end of the ancient god's physicality!"
At this moment, Chu Mo took out Heaven Slaying.
Heaven Slaying let out a gentle hum, with a faint aura of sorrow emanating from its blood-red blade.
"Artifacts have spirits, and it is recalling memories," Yu Hong said.
Chu Mo began to carve a path with Heaven Slaying, and the barriers ahead indeed became much easier to break through under the knife's edge.
The two of them continued on their journey, using Heaven Slaying to break through the ancient god's final barrier.
After a very, very long time, Chu Mo finally felt that they were about to leave the ancient god's world!
At this moment, Yu Hong also became somewhat excited. He took a deep breath and said, "It's been such a long time, a significant stretch along the entire river of time. We're finally out!"
Clang!
Chu Mo wielded the Pangu blade, slicing out the final strike.
Ahead, a Shining light suddenly appeared!
Then, the two of them leapt directly towards that light.
In the next moment, they stood outside.
The scene outside instantly overwhelmed Chu Mo!
Grand, magnificent, vast, boundless!
At the celestial pinnacle, enormous stars hung suspended, each with a diameter of trillions of miles!
All those stars were shining, with some burning suns emitting endless light and heat.
The entire universe truly seemed infinite.
Further in, clusters of nebulae stood in the universe.
They seemed eternal, always existing there.
Within those nebulae, billions of galaxies lay hidden.
Each galaxy contained immense stars of immeasurable size.
"It's indeed very beautiful!" Chu Mo couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Yu Hong stood quietly beside Chu Mo, speechless, lost in thought. After a long time, he finally said, "Such beauty, such a vast world, if we can truly succeed, then this vast world would be our paradise!"
Chu Mo nodded, a rare seriousness and gravity on his face: "We will definitely succeed!"
"Yes, that's right, we will definitely succeed!" Yu Hong nodded.
Then, Chu Mo turned around, as if seeing an enormous, unmatched wall!
Then he walked in the void, almost instantly appearing in a far, far-off place. Then he turned around again. Behind, it still seemed like a wall, a colossal entity stretching across.
"The world of the ancient god's flesh is immense beyond imagination. To glimpse the whole picture requires going even further away." Yu Hong saw what Chu Mo intended, and couldn't help but smile.
Then, he led Chu Mo as they flew towards the vast starry sky. They flew for what felt like an entire divine era's time, before stopping. At this point, looking back, they still couldn't clearly see the full picture of the ancient god's flesh world.
"To truly see clearly, it might take flying for dozens of divine eras." Yu Hong said: "The world of the ancient god's flesh is too enormous. This is still without forming a true grand Heavenly Realm. If it does form, even flying out for ten thousand years wouldn't reveal the full picture of a grand Heavenly Realm."
"Indeed, within a true grand Heavenly Realm, there are the Three Thousand Realms," Chu Mo remarked in awe.
"Exactly, each realm is vast beyond measure. The world of the ancient god's flesh is still in the process of brewing and growth. By the time the great creation arrives, the place we are in now will be directly covered." Yu Hong said, then looked in a certain direction and said to Chu Mo: "Master, can you sense where the ancient god's spiritual force is sealed?"
Chu Mo nodded.
In fact, the moment they emerged, he was already able to clearly sense where the ancient god's spiritual force was sealed.
It was actually the direction they had been walking all along.
In the time that followed, Chu Mo and Yu Hong continued heading towards the place where the ancient god's spiritual force was sealed.
Time in such a place seemed to lose its original meaning. The two walked for many years.
About thirty or more divine eras later, Chu Mo glanced back, and this time, his gaze pierced through endless galaxies, looking towards the world of the ancient god's flesh. He could almost see the whole picture of the ancient god's flesh world.
But if one didn't know in their heart, they wouldn't think someone lay there.
Because it was truly massive!
Chu Mo calculated in his mind, in his current state, if all the seals were released, his physical body would be about one-thousandth the size of the ancient god's flesh!
Still, it was an incredibly enormous, truly colossal entity.
But compared to the ancient god's majestic form, it still seemed minuscule.
At this point, they were already approaching the area suppressing the ancient god's spiritual force.
"There, it's a desert in the void." Yu Hong gazed into the distance, speaking softly.
