The river of fate in the world of immortals contained the imprints of all life and existences. Even if the world of immortals was destroyed, the River of Destiny wouldn't disappear. It would only merge with the larger River of Destiny.
From an existential perspective, the River of Destiny represented eternity.
Any intelligent life would instinctively be subdued by the mighty power of eternity. Even someone as powerful as Gao Zhengyang couldn't help but be moved by the power of immortality, and even had the thought of fusing with it.
After all, immortality had always been Gao Zhengyang's goal. As long as he let go of himself and merged with the river of fate, he would become undying. This was a huge temptation for Gao Zhengyang.
At this critical moment, Gao Zhengyang still came to his senses. It was not only because of Moon Breeze's reminder, but also because he realized that such immortality was meaningless.
Although Gao Zhengyang's pretense was a joke, it represented the awakening of his self-awareness. Eternity was only meaningful if it was self-centered.
After rejecting the temptation of immortality, Gao Zhengyang slowly regained his calmness and rationality. He discovered that the Dragon Emperor Armor was already unable to bear the burden. If it continued to be washed away by the river of fate, it would definitely turn to ashes. He put away the Dragon Emperor Armor first.
Next was the Blood God Flag. Although it had absorbed a large amount of blood essence, But in the immortal world's river of destiny, these powerful forces were too frivolous to withstand the test of time.
Even the Blood God Flag's bright red color had taken on a dark grey hue. It looked like a dried bloodstain. As Artifact Spirits, even Moon Breeze showed signs of decay under the corrosion of the power of time.
Gao Zhengyang said to Feng and Yue, "Don't be confused by time. Existences that couldn't stand the test of time had no value. You are the sword spirit of a rank 13 divine sword and you control the Innate Blood River. A mere tributary of fate will not be able to shake you! "
Gao Zhengyang patted Moon Breeze on the shoulder. "Show me your pride."
A sharp spiritual light shone in Moon Breeze's silent and deep eyes. Just as Gao Zhengyang had said, she was a dignified thirteenth step sword spirit who controlled the most powerful divine tool in the universe, the Blood God Flag. It would be a great humiliation to be assimilated by the river of fate.
The River of Destiny didn't have a mind of its own, it just flowed like a surging river. For the Moon Breeze couple, the fast passage of time had washed away all appearances. Only the most essential core of things could remain unchanged.
All the external aspects were removed. Moon Breeze's spiritual intelligence and consciousness, which had only been born a few years ago, were about to completely collapse. Gao Zhengyang's words had stimulated the strongest consciousness in Moon Breeze's divine soul.
The most important thing was that Moon Breeze and Gao Zhengyang were one in life and death. Gao Zhengyang's previous confusion had also caused Moon Breeze to gradually lose their sense of self. After Gao Zhengyang awakened, he became a small boat that could withstand the wind and waves.
In the river of fate, Gao Zhengyang's little boat could capsize. But with Gao Zhengyang around, Moon Breeze would have a foothold and someone to rely on. The Moon Breeze couple, who had gotten rid of their deathly aura, could in turn help Gao Zhengyang by becoming the sail on this small boat.
Gao Zhengyang sensed that the Moon Breeze Divine Soul was gradually stabilizing and heaved a sigh of relief. The river of fate was extremely dangerous, and its power far exceeded that of a Divine Master. But the baptism in the river of fate was also an extremely precious opportunity.
The most ruthless and powerful thing in the world was time. Only those who could remain unmoved under the erosion of time could be called immortal.
He had risen too quickly. Adding up his previous life and this life, it had only been more than two hundred years. Compared to a Divine Master who had accumulated power for hundreds of thousands of years, he was as childish as a baby.
This childishness was not just in terms of power, nor was it just in terms of experience and knowledge. It was also the pureness that had been tempered by time.
Humans were very complex and intelligent beings, and their desires were constantly changing. When they were young, they liked to eat candy and play. When they were young, they liked the opposite sex. When they were middle-aged, they loved money and power. When they were old, they always wanted to live forever.
Gao Zhengyang's mind, divine soul, and body were all so strong that they seemed to have no flaws. But in the river of time, after thousands or tens of thousands of years, all kinds of problems on the level of his body, mind, and divine soul would be exposed.
Because of this, Gao Zhengyang was almost assimilated by the river of fate just now.
After this test, Gao Zhengyang also calmed down. Time is like water, I am like stone. Like water, the more time washes, the more it can polish one's self, and the more clear it becomes.
The flow of time in the river of fate was thousands of times faster than normal. As Gao Zhengyang walked in the river of time, every step he took seemed to take decades or centuries.
Under the erosion of time, Gao Zhengyang got rid of all the external and non-existent essences. Only the purest heart, self, nature, and main body gradually merged into one.
As for the various divine skills and secret techniques, they all returned to their original appearance in the river of fate. Therefore, the things that did not conform to one's original intentions and were rough and wrong were all washed away.
Everything that Gao Zhengyang learned in his life was ultimately condensed into the Dragon Emperor Nine Transformations.
The Dragon Emperor Nine Transformations did not only have nine transformations. Nine referred to infinity. The foundation of the Dragon Emperor Nine Transformations was undoubtedly the Dragon Emperor Indestructible Divine Body. As for the other fist techniques, sword techniques, and magical arts, they all used the Dragon Emperor Indestructible Divine Body as the foundation and derived the various transformations.
In the past, Gao Zhengyang divided the mind, soul, body, and divine sense into four different levels. There was nothing wrong with this division, but the essence of power caused a division.
Under the washing of the river of fate, not only did time flow thousands of times faster than the outside world, there were also countless consciousness imprints in the river of fate. Among them, there were all kinds of world-shaking secret techniques. Although they were only bits and pieces, they touched Gao Zhengyang quite a bit.
Therefore, in the end, Gao Zhengyang abandoned all the tricks and incorporated all the divine skills and secret techniques into the Dragon Emperor Nine Transformations. Soul, divine sense, mind, and body, although they were on different levels, they all used his self as the foundation and ran through them. These different levels of power were only different in appearance, but there was no difference in essence.
After Gao Zhengyang's mind, nature, main body, and self were purified to the extreme, they were fused into one by his consciousness.
The so-called Dao was pure and unique.
Although Gao Zhengyang had not grasped Dao, he had already reached a level that was close to unique. The condensed unique had already established a secret but incomparably close resonance with the Great Dao.
Strictly speaking, Gao Zhengyang's power had been greatly enhanced. After being purified, the soul, divine sense, mind, and body were unified under the self, becoming one. This pushed Gao Zhengyang to a higher level.
The Dragon Emperor Undying God Body had been upgraded to the Dragon Emperor Undying God Body.
There were countless living beings in the myriad worlds. How many living beings dared to call themselves undying? Even the high and mighty Divine Lords would die and be destroyed.
But now, Gao Zhengyang dared to call it the Dragon Emperor Undying God Body. This was because he had been purified in the river of time, formed a unique true self, and established a resonance with the Great Dao.
In other words, Gao Zhengyang had left his imprint on the laws of the Great Dao that ruled over the heavens, which was a backup. Once this body was destroyed, he could use the backup to rebuild his true self.
According to the standard of the myriad worlds, Gao Zhengyang's Dragon Emperor Undying God Body had already reached the twelfth rank.
Of course, this did not mean that Gao Zhengyang was truly undying. On a higher level, there were still some powerful forces that could completely destroy Gao Zhengyang. But against ordinary Divine Lords, Gao Zhengyang would at least be able to fight them.
If Gao Zhengyang could take another step forward and achieve the Dragon Emperor Undying God Body, he would be able to defeat all Divine Lords. But who knew how long it would take for him to reach that step?
After cultivating the Dragon Emperor Undying God Body and recombining the Dragon Emperor Nine Transformations, the River of Destiny was no longer a threat to Gao Zhengyang. To him, the dazzling divine light was just a delightful scenery, and countless memories had been imprinted into a movie.
That was all!
Gao Zhengyang thought back to his reverence for the River of Time and his conjectures, and found them rather funny.
No matter how mighty this power was, it had no consciousness. How could a Rank Thirteen Divine Lord care about a trifling River of Time?
Without reaching this step, one would never be able to imagine how powerful a Divine Lord was. Low-level conjectures were like the golden shoulder pole of an old peasant in the countryside.
Even though Moon Breeze had once been a Rank Thirteen Sword Spirit, she had still lost her memories and vision. Her understanding of power was based on her current level.
Without reaching that level, one would never understand the principles within.
Gao Zhengyang was satisfied with the Dragon Emperor Undying God Body, and he was in high spirits.
At this time, the Dragon Emperor Halberd in Gao Zhengyang's hand started to shine with a strange divine light. The Dragon Emperor Halberd gave off a deep dragon roar and twisted in his hand as if trying to break free of his control.
The Rank Twelve Dragon Emperor Undying God Body was ten times stronger than the Dragon Emperor Undying God Body. In terms of pure physical strength, Gao Zhengyang was not afraid of anyone in the world.
No matter how the Dragon Emperor Halberd struggled, it could not break free of Gao Zhengyang's fingers.
The Dragon Emperor Halberd had also changed? This made Gao Zhengyang happy instead of alarmed.
The Dragon Emperor Halberd was made of a special material that could withstand the test of time. However, the Dragon Emperor Halberd contained six dragon souls. Although they had become artifact spirits, they could not withstand the erosion of time.
The six dragon souls didn't have intelligence, but they had the instinct to survive. Therefore, the six dragon souls hid in the Sword of the Universe.
This twelfth-grade divine weapon of the Dragon Tribe had been integrated into the Dragon Emperor Halberd by Gao Zhengyang after it fell into his hands. However, he didn't know much about the Sword of the Universe, and he didn't know how to use it. Therefore, the Sword of the Universe had never been used.
When the Dragon Emperor Halberd integrated with the Grand White Star Nucleus, the Sword of the Universe would be even more useless.
At this time, the six dragon souls chose the Sword of the Universe as their refuge in the crisis of destruction. After all, the Sword of the Universe was the supreme treasure of the Dragon Tribe. It was said to be a supreme divine weapon that could split heaven and earth, and its grade couldn't even be measured.
However, after the epoch, the Sword of the Universe was severely damaged in the war, and it dropped to the twelfth grade. For this reason, the Dragon Tribe didn't care much about the Sword of the Universe. They knew it was in Gao Zhengyang's hands, but they didn't ask for it in a hurry.
The entrance of the six dragon souls unexpectedly activated the core power of the Sword of the Universe. However, Gao Zhengyang happened to be in the river of time.
The Sword of the Universe was a supreme divine weapon forged with the power of time and space. The activated Sword of the Universe started to crazily absorb the power of the river of time and space. The awakened Sword of the Universe also gained spirituality because it had absorbed enough nutrients and the six dragon souls.
This spirituality was like a newborn baby, and it didn't have real intelligence. But it instinctively wanted to break free from all restraints.
If Gao Zhengyang hadn't achieved the Dragon Emperor Immortal Body, it would have been very difficult for him to subdue the Sword of the Universe by force. It was even possible that he couldn't subdue it.
After all, the Sword of the Universe was a top-notch divine weapon of the twelfth grade. After absorbing the power of the river of time, it regained some of its original power.
However, the Sword of the Universe had bad luck. Gao Zhengyang had leveled up first. Once it was grasped by him, even if the epoch collapsed and the heavens shattered, it couldn't escape from his grasp.
However, the Sword of the Universe was supported by the endless power of the river of time. No matter how powerful Gao Zhengyang was, he still had the strength to jump around.
Seeing this scene in Gao Zhengyang's Sea of Consciousness, Moon Breeze was pleasantly surprised. "This is the tool spirit's nascent intelligence. If you can subdue it, the Sword of the Universe will belong to you completely."
"It doesn't seem to work." Gao Zhengyang's Divine Body had reached the phenomenal level, so he didn't care about the Sword of the Universe anymore. However, the Dragon Emperor Halberd was his. He couldn't let it go even if he didn't care about it.
Moon Breeze corrected him. "The Sword of the Universe can change time and space. It can make time faster or slower, and space bigger or smaller. It can exert unimaginable magical powers in a battle. Moreover, the Sword of the Universe is a supreme divine weapon, and it isn't restricted by the Divine Master level rules! "
Gao Zhengyang was delighted. The magical power to control time and space was of little use to a real expert. But it wasn't restricted by the Divine Master level rules, which was very important.
It was equivalent to not being controlled by the Divine Master level rules when fighting with the Divine Master level rules. It avoided the embarrassment of being trapped to death before the fight even started.
"How can I make this thing behave?" Gao Zhengyang was confident that he could crush the tool spirit of the Sword of the Universe, but he didn't know how to subdue it.
"A nascent tool spirit doesn't have much intelligence. You can subdue it by force. When it accepts your imprint, it won't betray you anymore. "
Moon Breeze said regretfully, "It's a pity that we don't have the Sword Nurturing Pool now. Otherwise, we can dismantle the Heavenly Scar Sword and merge it with the Sword of the Universe. We can let this nascent tool spirit control the Heavenly Scar Sword. "
Gao Zhengyang didn't take it too seriously. "How can there be so many good things in the world …"
He had the Dragon Emperor Immortal Body, so he didn't care so much about external objects. It would be good if the Dragon Emperor Halberd could be improved, but it wouldn't matter much if it didn't.
The River of Time was endless, and the Sword of the Universe was only at the twelfth level. No matter how much it absorbed, it had a limit. When the Sword of the Universe absorbed all the power of time and still couldn't break free from Gao Zhengyang's control, he could only resign to his fate.
A nascent tool spirit only had instincts, but no intelligence. Facing a power that it couldn't resist, it chose to submit by instinct.
Gao Zhengyang left his imprint on the Sword of the Universe and controlled it steadily. Then he crossed the River of Time and arrived at the other side.
There was only a huge wooden waterwheel on the other side, which was moving slowly under the power of the River of Time.
The rotating waterwheel finally transmitted its power to a rotating compass. The compass was similar to the Primordial Compass, except that it was vertical and kept rotating.
To be more precise, it looked like a Ferris wheel in a playground. However, it was huge, with a diameter of hundreds of thousands of zhang.
The rotating Ferris wheel had one hundred and eight doors. Every door was half open and hung from the Ferris wheel, turning continuously as the Ferris wheel rotated.
Gao Zhengyang saw clearly that there was a space entrance behind each door hanging on the Ferris wheel. This didn't require any judgment or wisdom. The instinct of a twelfth level God King told him the meaning of this Ferris wheel.
"The Grand Overarching Wheel!"
Moon Breeze was very surprised, but she immediately recognized the origin of the Ferris wheel.
Gao Zhengyang was a little surprised. Wasn't the Grand Overarching Wheel in the center of the Heaven Realm? Why was it here?
Moon Breeze explained to Gao Zhengyang, "The Grand Overarching Wheel is propelled by the River of Time and connects the heavens. The Celestial Emperors are really generous! "
The Celestial Realm was obviously very far away from the heavens, so far that even Gao Zhengyang couldn't sense it. In terms of space, it was impossible for the Celestial Realm to directly connect with the heavens, let alone have a space passage.
However, the Celestial Emperors used the power of the River of Time to build the Grand Overarching Wheel. Through the eternal power of the River of Time, they established a stable connection with the heavens.
The Moon Breeze couple clicked their tongues in admiration.
Gao Zhengyang didn't care about this. He asked, "Then can we go home directly?"
Moon Breeze rolled her eyes at Gao Zhengyang. "Didn't you notice? None of these one hundred and eight worlds is the Human Realm. And none of them leads to the Divine Martial Thirty-six Heavens. "
She paused and said, "The heavens are too vast. It's very difficult to go back directly. However, we might be able to find Pegasus Little Red after we go in. Then we can go back directly. "
Gao Zhengyang looked at the space entrances that were rotating back and forth. He felt that the aura of each world was so unfamiliar.
He asked, "If we can't go in, can we still come back?"
Moon Breeze shook her head. "It's hard to say."
Space was so vast that even Divine Masters could get lost in it. Moon Breeze couldn't guarantee anything.
The Grand Overarching Wheel still needed to be propelled by the River of Time to establish a stable connection. The key problem was that Gao Zhengyang couldn't control the Grand Overarching Wheel. If they went there, it would be very difficult to pinpoint the location of the Celestial Realm.
Gao Zhengyang was also a little hesitant. With his current power, no matter what those worlds were like, he didn't need to worry about his safety. However, he didn't like to mess around.
"If we don't want to take the risk, then let's go to the Myriad Immortal Assembly and find a chance to enter the Sword Nurturing Pool."
Moon Breeze suggested, "As long as we fuse the Heavenly Scar Sword with the Dragon King Halberd, we can cut through the binds of space and time and contact Pegasus Little Red."
The Heavenly Scar Sword was a divine sword that could even cut through space and time. It was just that Gao Zhengyang couldn't control the Heavenly Scar Sword yet. He had enough power, but he couldn't use the Heavenly Scar Sword's full power.
"That's it then."
Gao Zhengyang flicked his sleeves and went back the way he came. He didn't leave until he reached the tenth Heavenly Gate.
Outside the gate, a few Celestial Court Immortals were waiting. Northern Essence also stood to the side.
Seeing Gao Zhengyang and Jade Heart Fox walk out, the people of Northern Element took the initiative to welcome them, cupping their hands to congratulate them.
Northern Essence was very experienced. In front of these Immortals, they didn't specifically greet Gao Zhengyang.
Jade Heart Fox also smiled and said a few words in response.
A few Immortals came over. The leader held a book and bowed to Jade Heart Fox. "Congratulations on passing the tenth Heavenly Gate and obtaining the right to participate in the Myriad Immortal Assembly. Please leave your name here. "
Jade Heart Fox picked up the brush and left her name. Then, she received a jade token from the Immortal.
After the Immortals finished the formalities, they smiled and said a few polite words to Jade Heart Fox before leaving. They were all Perfected Immortals and could be considered minor officials in the Immortal World. They couldn't be compared to Heaven Immortals like Jade Heart Fox and Northern Essence.
Moreover, these Immortals who passed the Heavenly Gate to participate in the Myriad Immortal Assembly were obviously unorthodox. Although their cultivation was high, they weren't the same as them.
After the Immortals left, Northern Essence bowed to Gao Zhengyang again. "Thank you for your Immortal Armor. I was able to pass the Heavenly Gate."
Gao Zhengyang waved his hand. "No need to be so polite."
Northern Essence didn't like to talk much, but facing Gao Zhengyang, he suddenly had the mood to chat.
He also felt strange. It hadn't been long since he separated from Gao Zhengyang. Why did Gao Zhengyang give him such a big change? But when he looked carefully, he couldn't find the problem. He just felt that he seemed to have an amiable aura and wasn't as deep and unpredictable as before.
This feeling was very strange. Northern Essence couldn't help but glance at Jade Heart Fox. Jade Heart Fox had also changed. There was less frivolity between her brows and more vicissitudes of life.
Northern Essence was curious, but no matter how amiable Gao Zhengyang was, he wouldn't ask without propriety.
He changed the topic. "The Myriad Immortal Assembly will be held in the Imperial Heaven Palace. Coincidentally, there's someone who's going there. We can take his boat."
The Imperial Heaven Palace was the residence of the Yellow Emperor. It was usually heavily guarded. Other Immortals couldn't enter without being summoned. Even if it was the Myriad Immortal Assembly, they had to go through many checks to enter the Imperial Heaven Palace.
To avoid trouble, the Northern Yuan Tribe found an old friend, Zhong Chunyang. He was also the master of the Earth Palace under the Yellow Emperor and had a good relationship with Northern Essence.
Gao Zhengyang didn't care about this. "Okay, then I'll have to trouble you."
"Not at all. It's my honor." Northern Essence found that Gao Zhengyang spoke more politely and was a little surprised.
Gao Zhengyang wasn't pretending to be polite. It was just that he had reconstructed his true self in the river of time. He had also returned to his natural state and lost some of his external arrogance. He was much gentler and more approachable.
This was also because he was too strong. He had reached a level where he didn't need to deliberately show off his strength. To outsiders, they would think that his temperament and personality had become better.
Northern Essence activated a talisman. Spiritual light shot up into the sky and brought him, Jade Heart Fox, and Gao Zhengyang to the deck of a huge flying boat.
Divine Soldier Divine Generals stood around the deck. A golden-eyed, golden-haired man with a tall crown was standing proudly above the deck.
"Brother Zhong, this is my good friend, Jade Heart Fox Fairy. This is Mister Gao Zhengyang."
Northern Essence introduced them to the other party with a smile.
Zhong Chunyang, who was standing on the deck, showed displeasure in his eyes when he saw outsiders. However, his gaze stopped on Jade Heart Fox's face. This woman's cultivation was profound and her spirit was pure. This was too rare.
His heart skipped a beat and a smile appeared on his face.
Jade Heart Fox couldn't help but frown. Zhong Chunyang's appearance made her very uncomfortable. She couldn't help but look at Gao Zhengyang beside her. Strangely, Gao Zhengyang didn't seem to notice.
