"However, now that I've been exposed, the Chaotic Demon Valley and the True Devil World offer me no further benefits. It's time to leave."
Before the Demons from the Void Immortal Realm could arrive, Xu Xing utilized his Great Magical Power to tear open the World Barrier and departed directly from the True Devil World.
He had only recently reached the Void Immortal Realm and lacked the confidence to face a siege by several Void Immortal Realm Demons simultaneously.
Moreover, battling these Void Immortal Realm Demons would yield him no advantages.
It was better to leave as soon as possible.
「Half a Moment after Xu Xing left.」
Several Demons with formidable auras arrived in the Chaotic Demon Valley. Upon seeing that nearly half of the Chaotic Demon Valley had vanished, they immediately formed a hypothesis.
"It must be that the Chaotic Demon Valley housed an Immortal Domain, which some Immortal Path cultivator discovered and used for secluded cultivation…"
"The Immortal Domain collapsed, throwing space into disarray, which caused the anomaly in the Chaotic Demon Valley."
The Demons communicated amongst themselves in secret.
However, after their discussion, they did not dispatch anyone to pursue Xu Xing. After all, Xu Xing was of the same Realm as them; rashly pursuing him would be quite dangerous.
Secondly, the Immortal Domain was not particularly useful to them as Demons. Its destruction was no great loss.
"Remember this person's aura. Next time we encounter him, we shall secretly set up an array technique to capture him," the leading Demon declared after a moment of contemplation.

After leaving the True Devil World, Xu Xing did not rush to return to the Chiming World. He did not wish to confront Tianci Emperor, a half-step True Immortal, while he himself was only in the Void Immortal Realm. Therefore, he began searching for another world to serve as a temporary refuge.
This time, drifting outside the World Barrier, Xu Xing's perceptions were vastly different from when he was in the Free Immortal Realm. Aided by the Chaos Dao Fruit, he could clearly perceive the Small Worlds concealed within the World Sea.
In the Free Immortal Realm, Xu Xing's exploration of the World Sea was akin to a blind man trying to understand an elephant by touch. But This Moment, things were different. With the Chaos Dao Fruit, finding other worlds had become as easy as flipping his hand.
「Two years later.」
Xu Xing found a Small World named "Mysterious Green World" within the World Sea. He tore open its World Barrier and entered.
They are still practicing the ancient methods of the Immortal Path, but unfortunately, the gates to the Immortal World are closed... Xu Xing instantly arrived at the foremost Sect within the Mysterious Green World, the "Imperial Spirit Sect." After his Divine Sense swept over the Cultivation of its Supreme Elders, he mused inwardly.
During a Fate Deduction, he had once visited the Emperor Jin World. There, in the Underworld of the Emperor Jin World, he encountered a Void Immortal Realm expert known as the "Sixth Hall Ghost King." This being had revealed a piece of information: this entire World Territory had been isolated from the Immortal World Gateway by a True Immortal using Great Magical Power.
Therefore, even if Cultivators could sense the Immortal World Gateway when breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, they would not be greeted by the guiding immortal light from the Immortal World after cultivating to Nascent Soul Peak and successfully passing the Purple Clouds Thunder Tribulation...
Xu Xing speculated that the True Immortal who had sealed off this World Territory's access to the Immortal World Gateway was very likely Chiming Venerated Immortal, who was hiding in the Chiming World.
Only Chiming Venerated Immortal would do such a thing and possess such an intent.
With Ascending Immortals unable to appear in the surrounding worlds, the Chiming Imperial Dynasty can plunder the Resources of these Small Worlds to sustain itself... This is Chiming Venerated Immortal's intention, Xu Xing thought.
This Moment, he also faintly sensed the Heavenly Dao's affirmation regarding this matter, as if urging him, this "Divine Official," to eradicate the blight that was Chiming Venerated Immortal and save the living beings of this World Territory.
This is the duty of a Divine Official—to assist the Heavenly Dao... Xu Xing gained some enlightenment.
For Chiming Venerated Immortal to have reached a state so abhorrent to the Heavenly Dao is truly no small feat, he mused, shaking his head.
After Chiming Venerated Immortal fled to the Purple Yin Realm, he severed this World Territory's access to the Immortal World Gateway. This undoubtedly created a feud that obstructed the path of this World Territory's Nascent Soul Cultivators and also brought unstoppable negative consequences for other Cultivators and living beings.
Originally, Cultivators would Ascend to become Immortals, maintaining a healthy cycle between the Small Worlds and the Immortal World.
However, with the Immortal World Gateway now inaccessible, Nascent Soul Cultivators could only remain trapped within their Caves, drawing upon their world's nourishment to prevent themselves from passing away due to lifespan limitations.
Over extended periods, all living things withered, and the Origin Energy of the Small Worlds would also gradually become depleted.
Furthermore, the Chiming Imperial Dynasty accelerated this process, plundering Resources from other worlds to sustain its own, rendering the already struggling Small Worlds increasingly barren.
This was merely the "evil" Chiming Venerated Immortal had wrought upon the Small Worlds surrounding the Chiming World.
In the Chiming World itself, Chiming Venerated Immortal disseminated heterodox practices for cultivation beyond the Nascent Soul realm. Although these heterodox practices were far inferior to Orthodox Immortal Path methods, they still granted a measure of an Immortal's power.
With so many Refining Void Immortals, Unification Realm Immortals, and Tribulation Crossing Immortals in the Chiming World, how could the meager Resources of a single Lower Realm possibly sustain them?
Saving ordinary people is but a minor merit and virtue; helping the myriad beings and worlds of this World Territory is the true great merit and virtue... With such a meritorious deed, I estimate I could directly leap to become a top-tier deity within the Immortal World, a smile touched Xu Xing's lips.
This Moment, he had already broken through to the Void Immortal Realm and only needed to solidify his newly born Immortal Fate. His next Fate Deduction should grant him an opportunity to find Chiming Venerated Immortal's weakness and then kill him while still in the Void Immortal Realm.
After killing Chiming Venerated Immortal, he would not only obtain the supreme treasure, the Nine Dragons Colored Glaze Cup, from him but also receive a reward from the Heavenly Dao—a truly twofold gain.
Withdrawing his Divine Sense from the Supreme Elders of the Imperial Spirit Sect, Xu Xing delved into the Earth Heart of the Mysterious Green World, using the Spiritual Power from the world's core to help solidify his newly acquired Immortal Fate.
...
...
「A few years later.」
Mysterious Green World, Earth Heart.
The new Immortal Fate has finally taken shape. Three Purities Celestial Life... Dao Beginning Heavenly Venerate... Xu Xing gazed at this newly formed Immortal Fate in the [Immortal Fate] column of his status panel, a faint smile gracing his features.
The further he progressed, the slower his new Immortal Fates condensed after each Breakthrough. This Moment, to be able to successfully condense this new Immortal Fate within several decades was already a considerable feat.
I wonder what kind of enhancement this Dao Beginning Heavenly Venerate Immortal Fate will bring me... Xu Xing pondered for a moment, then focused his mind and examined the secondary page for Dao Beginning Heavenly Venerate.
[Dao Beginning Heavenly Venerate (Three Purities): At the dawn of Heaven's birth, the sovereign of myriad spirits, the very incipience of Dao. As an Innate Spirit, you are born to command the Dao and govern all spirits.]
Is this main Immortal Fate related to my upcoming Path of True Immortals? To command the Dao... Indeed, when the Chaos Dao Fruit transforms into a True Immortal Dao Fruit, one must master a Great Dao... Xu Xing's eyes flickered with an intelligent light.
The Dao Principles comprehended by Cultivators differ from the Great Dao mastered by True Immortals. The former merely borrow the power of heaven and earth, acting through this borrowed force, whereas the latter command a Great Dao themselves, acting in accordance with it.
In other words, in a land where all laws are extinguished, Immortals who have not mastered a Great Dao are like swine awaiting slaughter. However, True Immortals who have mastered a Great Dao remain entirely unaffected.
A True Immortal is, in essence, a miniature, humanoid Heavenly Dao.
Chiming Venerated Immortal's ability to use Great Magical Power to isolate an entire World Territory's access to the Immortal World Gateway also stemmed from his own Great Dao.
Comprehending a Great Dao on one's own is as difficult as ascending to Heaven. But now, Chiming Venerated Immortal, this flawed True Immortal, is right before me... If I kill him, his Human Emperor Dao Fruits will be seized by me. I can also thereby switch to cultivating his Human Emperor's Path... Xu Xing thought to himself after some consideration.
