The Immortal was a unique Dao. At the same time, it was also the reason why Wang Baole had not been assimilated. It was also the reason why the Emperor had not been assimilated!
It could be said that Wang Baole wouldn't be Wang Baole if the unique Dao of immortals didn't exist in this universe. He would be like the other ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine strands of the Imperial Emperor's Divine Will. He would eventually return and become an Imperial Emperor Spirit, and the Imperial Emperor would obtain the wholeness that he desired.
However, the Immortal had appeared.
It had affected Wang Baole and changed the course of events. Looking back, Gu and Luo had taken advantage of the Emperor's Wood Tribulation to enter secluded meditation and escape from the Universe of Origins and Dao Kong. It seemed that there had been some mysterious force pulling them along.
Otherwise, why … would Luo and Gu encounter the Immortal's legacy after escaping from the Universe of Origins and Dao Kong …? It was also because of that encounter that Luo and Gu began to fight over it.
Therefore, Gu's hiding, the seal formed by Luo's right hand, and … Luo's attempt to enter the Universe of Origins and Dao Kong to challenge the Emperor, who had been severely injured by the Wood Tribulation, had failed.
The source of all of this seemed to have something to do with the Immortal's legacy.
Wang Baole was thinking the same thing. That was especially so when he saw the images in the Emperor's memories. In the beginning of the Multiverse, it seemed to have been unique. It had been able to forcibly fuse with the coffin and turn it into its own Essence of the Dao of Wood.
It had also interfered with the Emperor's resurrection plan in his previous life. Because of that, the Emperor had no choice but to remain in this place.
Wang Baole's heart trembled, and his mind was filled with thoughts. "Is there a possibility … that the reason this Universe was unique from the beginning is because … it is a Universe that can give birth to the Immortal?!"
Because if he explained it this way, then everything seemed to make sense.
The uniqueness of this Universe came from the fact that it was the cradle of the Immortal.
The Immortal was a very unique Dao, and was destined to be born here. Therefore … even the plan of the Emperor's previous life had failed here.
As he continued to think … Wang Baole suddenly thought of the possibility … that the Heavenly Tribulation that the Emperor had intentionally attracted was not just the Wood Tribulation …
Was there still a hidden Immortal Tribulation!?
Wang Baole was silent. He wasn't in a hurry, because he could sense that the truth … would soon appear before his eyes. It wouldn't be long before all the answers would be completely revealed to him.
That was why Wang Baole looked up and calmly looked at the world of the first level that appeared before him.
Along the way, the layers of worlds were like Matryoshka dolls. Wang Baole was already used to it. The only thing that caught his attention was the changes in the ruins of this layer.
Due to the difference in time, the world that appeared in front of Wang Baole this time seemed to have just turned into ruins. He could even see black smoke rising in the distance.
In addition, the signs of life seemed to be more obvious than before. If Wang Baole could observe carefully, he might be able to find other life forms here.
And these lifeforms could only survive in this crevice of space-time.
But none of that was important to Wang Baole. At the moment, he was completely focused. As he rotated his Cultivation base, he walked toward the familiar statue in the distance.
He was very cautious. Because of the previous four levels, each time the desires were more ferocious than the last, Wang Baole knew very well that if he wasn't careful for even the slightest moment, he might really end up in this place.
Especially since … he had a premonition that the desire he was about to face this time was most likely the desire of touch.
Because of that, it would be very difficult for him to use the previous method of using the pain of touch to dispel other desires.
And that was indeed the case. As soon as Wang Baole took his first step, he immediately felt a wisp of spring wind wash over him, causing his skin to feel somewhat cool.
That cool sensation seeped into his heart with indescribable speed, causing Wang Baole's eyes to shine brightly. The Law of Touch spread out within him to dispel the sensation.
"It's just the first step, but the Law of Touch is already comparable to that of the Lord of Touch …." Wang Baole's face darkened. After thinking for a moment, he took a second step.
When this step landed, the spring wind seemed to add some other substance to it. It landed on Wang Baole's body like small hands gently brushing against it. Wang Baole's body trembled. After a moment of silence, he gave a cold harrumph and continued forward.
Soon, on the third step, he heard the sound of a woman's laughter. On the fourth step, the scent of her body was added. On the fifth step, an intense appetite appeared.
All of that converged on the sixth step. Shockingly, the woman with the umbrella appeared next to Wang Baole. She lifted her finger and gently brushed it across his neck.
The convergence of these five desires caused a ripple of power that surpassed the previous levels. Wang Baole's mind was thrown into turmoil as he took the sixth step. His breathing was ragged, and his eyes were slightly bloodshot. His soul seemed to be sinking into oblivion.
However, his heart was as calm as ever.
That was because … as soon as Wang Baole had entered this level, he had already thought of a way to break through it.
The principle was the same as before. It was to use desire to suppress desire. For example, at this moment, the Law of Desire within Wang Baole exploded out. It was a desire for fame, for fame, for sex, and for love.
It could be said that the sixth desire was the most basic and important desire of all life. Because it was illusory and ethereal, it could not be separated. The greed it manifested was powerful to the extreme.
At this moment, it exploded out within Wang Baole, causing his face to twist. It was as if an intense desire was spreading out from within Wang Baole.
In the face of such a strong desire, touching this kind of desire seemed to be nothing at all. For example, there was a kind of person in the world. This kind of person often had great ambitions, and in the process of pursuing this ambition, they could suppress all their other desires for the sake of this ambition.
Right now, Wang Baole was relying on this method.
In the blink of an eye, the woman's body vanished. Her fragrance dissipated. Her appetite vanished. Her laughter vanished. The feeling of touch vanished. After suppressing everything, Wang Baole took the seventh step.
When Wang Baole took the seventh step, the other desires in the area began to rise up in a swirl of dust. However … under the influence of the Law of Desire, Wang Baole's eyes grew even more bloodshot, and he suddenly let out a roar.
"Screw off!"
He roared. It was as if his words were the Law of Desire. In the blink of an eye, all of the other desires in the area collapsed. Only his Law of Will remained. From a distance, it looked like a ball of fire that could burn anything and everything.
As a result, Wang Baole, who was inside the flames, stepped directly into the glabella of the statue on this level after taking his seventh step.
A moment later, all of the desires vanished, and the fifth memory from the Emperor appeared in front of Wang Baole!
