Chapter 705 - 452: The Aura of Reincarnation in the River Map and Luo Book (Part 2)
..................
On the other side, Zhong Heng no longer paid attention to Zhang Yuan’s thoughts.
He traversed through various lower realms.
After millennia of development, the lower realms near the Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm numbered in the millions, countless in number.
There were quite a few successors of the River Map and Luo Book.
They were all distributed among the lower realms.
Zhong Heng went to seek out a few more successors of the River Map.
Their Qi Fortune was not particularly deep.
The Master of River Map himself needs to be chosen from among the successors with the strongest Qi Fortune to inherit the River Map.
Zhong Heng wanted to become one of them.
But although he, like these River Map successors, had Qi Fortune beyond the Three Realms,
Zhong Heng was an Immortal, fundamentally different in nature.
"Reincarnation, reincarnation..."
"If I could reincarnate a strand of my Divine Thought to inherit the River Map..."
The cultivation levels of these River Map successors found by Zhong Heng varied.
Some were close to Divinity Transformation.
Some were still at the Golden Core stage but seemed to be living their second life.
Zhong Heng anticipated this.
"All have the aura of reincarnation."
The original successors were born and trained in the lower realms.
This could originally be explained as Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm wanting to wage war against Ten Thousand Yuan Heaven.
Only the lower realms were safe.
Yet now, the Jiuzhou Immortals could easily handle Ten Thousand Yuan Heaven, there’s no reason for the River Map and Luo Book to emerge now.
Zhong Heng felt that perhaps the Ancient Immortals wanted to load the Reincarnation Law onto the River Map and Luo Book?
Zhong Heng returned to Celestial Derivation Grotto Heaven.
His state of mind instantly became still as mirror-like water.
His mind connected to the River Map.
He immediately saw the true form of the River Map.
Under Zhong Heng’s active intrusion with his Divine Sense,
the Old Turtle revealed himself.
"It’s you again."
The Old Turtle’s voice carried a hint of disdain.
"When you asked me to find the Luo Book before, your attitude wasn’t like this." Zhong Heng raised his eyebrow slightly.
"Speak, what do you want from this old man."
"I’m trapped here."
The Old Turtle seemed unwilling to say much to Zhong Heng.
"What major changes are in store for Jiuzhou’s future?"
"The Apocalypse Rift is clearly sealed."
"Clearly, Jiuzhou’s war against Ten Thousand Yuan Heaven is well under control."
"Why do the River Map and Luo Book need to awaken in this era?"
"Moreover, what exactly is that aspect of reincarnation within the River Map and Luo Book?"
Zhong Heng continued to question.
The Old Turtle was stunned upon hearing this, then looked puzzled.
"Aura of reincarnation..."
"No, no..."
"The River Map and Luo Book are a Heavenly Gifted Human Dao Treasure; how could they have the aura of reincarnation..."
"It’s that old ghost!"
The Divine Turtle’s voice suddenly grew gritted with teeth in anger.
"Hongmeng Creation Pearl?" Zhong Heng asked tentatively.
The Divine Turtle nodded helplessly.
"Fine, let him do as he wishes."
"But the aura of reincarnation, he truly dares to think about it."
"The Reincarnation Law, it’s said that only that Ancient Celestial Venerable comprehended a fragmentary portion of it."
"Afterward, among countless Immortals, only one person comprehended a branch lineage of the Reincarnation Law."
"According to what you said, the Immortals desire to reincarnate an immortal-level existence."
"Ordinary Immortal Artifacts can’t sustain that."
"Now it seems they’ve chosen us."
"The River Map and Luo Book both have derivative Divine Objects, hidden beneath the Jiuzhou lands, suppressing the entire Jiuzhou Human Dao Fortune with the Innate Trigram Array."
"The Nine Cauldrons of Emperor Yu, which stabilize Jiuzhou."
"With these two Divine Objects, perhaps it could allow an immortal-level existence to selectively carry a reincarnation Law and be reborn, bypassing the mystery of the womb."
Zhong Heng’s eyes slightly brightened.
This seemed like a good thing for him.
"If I were to transform into a thought, reincarnate, perhaps I could become one of the River Map entrants..."
Zhong Heng held these thoughts back from speaking.
"But the major change in Jiuzhou..."
"Heavenly Mechanism cannot be divulged." The Divine Turtle gave Zhong Heng a look before vanishing.
Zhong Heng understood the meaning of the Divine Turtle’s glance.
"There truly is another great change..."
"The River Map and Luo Book are a Human Dao Treasure born from the Qi Fortune of Jiuzhou."
"There won’t be any mistakes."
What could the great change be...
"But before that, if I need to get in touch with the Hongmeng Creation Pearl."
In the past,
only those at the Golden Immortal Level could come in contact with the Hongmeng Creation Pearl and gain insight from its true form.
But now that the war has started, one could earn enough merit to borrow the Hongmeng Creation Pearl.
Perhaps the Hongmeng Creation Pearl isn’t even necessary.
Zhong Heng just needs an opportunity to reincarnate, to vie for the identity of a River Map successor.
Zhong Heng sat cross-legged within the Celestial Derivation Grotto Heaven.
Continuing to perfect the Immortal Spirit Vein Connecting Array.
Meanwhile, his identical incarnation opened its eyes behind him.
Stepping through the void.
"Master Zhong?"
"Hmm? No, it’s Master Zhong’s External Incarnation."
"This is an Immortal Yuan Disc; if you encounter danger, you can activate this. It not only has the attack power of a Peak Profound Immortal but also can summon fellow Jiuzhou members nearby."
"Entering alone, one must not enter the frontline zone. There are some immortal-level strong beings in the strategy area; there are also some dangers."
"But it’s still possible to enter for strategy."
"Though it’s just Master Zhong’s External Incarnation, forming incarnations isn’t easy. Master Zhong, please be cautious."
The great battle had been ongoing for hundreds of years.
It was no longer as perilous as it was hundreds of years ago.
Ten Thousand Yuan Heaven was now reduced to a relatively safe ’strategy area.’
You don’t need a team to step into it.
Most cultivators entering Ten Thousand Yuan are in Immortal form.
But there are also many who use other means, either External Incarnations, puppet incarnations, or Immortal Artifact incarnations, all considered equal to Immortal existences.
Some even bring their true self into it.
Though Zhong Heng sent an External Incarnation, it still couldn’t enter the frontline zone.
Unless Zhong Heng could bring out another Immortal Spirit Vein Connecting Array Disc.
Several Immortals nearby’s eyes lit up seeing Zhong Heng.
Nowadays, the Immortal Spirit Vein Connecting Array was difficult to find.
Only a few Immortal Array Masters managed to study this Immortal Array.
Zhong Heng was one of them, which was why other Immortals referred to him as Master Zhong.
It seemed now Zhong Heng might be interested in exploring Ten Thousand Yuan Heaven.
Thus, if they build good relationships, they might not only team up with Zhong Heng’s incarnation.
Presumably, Zhong Heng wouldn’t mind opening a backdoor for his own incarnation.
Soon enough, many Immortals around exchanged Communication Spiritual Artifacts with Zhong Heng.
Zhong Heng naturally accepted each one.
Then stepped into Ten Thousand Yuan Heaven.
An External Incarnation, both Zhong Heng and not Zhong Heng.
The two were connected like twins but still independent.
However, the External Incarnation shared the opportunity to ascend with the original. After ascension, the difficulty of the External Incarnation ascending greatly reduced.
Though after ascension, the level of insight into the Laws wasn’t shared.
Having comprehended the Array Law, it was unnecessary for the incarnation to do so.
Thus, the incarnation focused on the Fire Law.
From the corpse of an Immortal met within the void, Zhong Heng extracted three branch Laws of the Fire Law.
The incarnation also mastered the Hongmeng Divine Origin Refining Realm Skill.
It refined a Fire Attribute Grotto Heaven, speeding up comprehension.
Zhong Heng’s plan always involved understanding the Water and Fire Law after comprehending the Array Law.
After reaching the Profound Immortal stage, he’d comprehend the Three Great Laws of Gold, Wood, and Earth.
The Incarnation comprehending the Fire Law would significantly aid Zhong Heng.
The Incarnation’s comprehension reached the complete Law level.
If he wanted to find teammates, it was quite easy.
Zhong Heng stepped into the World Passage.
A massive tearing sensation came over him.
The tearing wasn’t very strong, more like an itch to an Immortal Body.
But the dizziness from the sky and earth flipping was stronger than ever.
For the passage connected two Great Thousand Worlds.
The distance between the two Great Thousand Worlds in the void was unknown.
Only through special means were they linked by the World Passage.
