Chapter 15 I Have Finally Waited

“Haha… More than a thousand *yanji* epochs, I have finally waited.” Hong Meng was dressed in a simple linen robe, his long hair casually draped, appearing unkempt. At this moment, he laughed loudly, looking at Jiang Xuan, his eyes full of surprise.

“I didn’t expect that thousands of years ago I promised you the position of Heavenly Lord, but thousands of years later, you have grown to this step!” Hong Meng was very happy. He rarely paid attention to the development of the Hong Meng Universe, but today he felt something in his heart, and with a single thought, he looked over, only to find that Jiang Xuan had surpassed the Heavenly Lord level.

“Hahaha… Second Brother, come with me!”

Hong Meng smiled and reached out, grabbing Jiang Xuan's arm, then tore through endless void, directly reaching outside the Hong Meng Universe.

During this period, Jiang Xuan also discovered that he could not resist Hong Meng's power at all, but he didn't find this strange. Hong Meng was the first Controller and possessed a *Xuanhuang* Undying Body, so naturally he was much stronger than Jiang Xuan, who had only mastered the Hong Meng Force.

As for calling Jiang Xuan his Second Brother, it was because Jiang Xuan was the first being after him to master the Hong Meng Force. Only by reaching this step was he worthy of being Hong Meng's brother.

“Ahead is my home.” Hong Meng led Jiang Xuan, traversing endless space, passing through the endless Hong Meng Force.

And not long after, they saw a piece of land only a few dozen meters in radius. On this land, a thatched hut was built. In front of the hut, a thick and short osmanthus tree grew. Under the osmanthus tree was a stone table and two stone stools.

“Senior…”

Before Jiang Xuan could speak, Hong Meng interrupted him with a smile, “Just call me Big Brother. You come from outside the Hong Meng Space, and you also know my rules, so I don’t need to say more, right?”

Jiang Xuan was stunned, then smiled and shook his head, saying, “I understand, Big Brother.”

“Hahaha, come, let's sit down and talk.” Hong Meng smiled and sat down, and Jiang Xuan followed suit.

“Second Brother, your path is truly remarkable. Using the Hong Meng Force as nourishment to plant a Dao Tree is more profound than cultivating the Hong Meng Body, and the difficulty is also greater.” Hong Meng said with emotion. He had watched Jiang Xuan's breakthrough. He naturally saw the scene when Jiang Xuan reversed the Hong Meng Force and his body was melted when he reached the extreme.

“It is indeed very difficult, but in the end, I succeeded.” A smile also appeared on Jiang Xuan's face. He did not deny that the path he had chosen was more difficult than purely cultivating the Hong Meng Body, but he did not regret it.

He always believed that every supreme expert had his own unique Dao. Even though his clones were in various realms, each one had a Dao that they were best at, and even wanted to create the most perfect Dao in that realm.

“Indeed, you succeeded, so you are worthy of being Hong Meng's brother!” Hong Meng laughed loudly, and with a wave of his hand, a leaf immediately fell from the nearby osmanthus tree, landing in Hong Meng's palm, with a faint light flashing.

“I have condensed the method of creating the universe and the cultivation method of the *Xuanhuang* Undying Body within this leaf. You can understand everything by exploring with your soul force.” Hong Meng handed the leaf to Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan took it and explored with his soul force. Endless knowledge instantly poured into his mind. In an instant, Jiang Xuan's understanding of this Hong Meng Space reached an extremely deep level. At the same time, he also had a direct understanding of the further advanced *Xuanhuang* Undying Body.

The *Xuanhuang* Undying Body is actually an advanced version of the Hong Meng Body. To cultivate the *Xuanhuang* Undying Body, it is simple. As long as you open up a universe of the same level as the Hong Meng Universe, *Xuanhuang* energy will be born. Condensing it in the body can create the strongest *Xuanhuang* Undying Body.

Just like Qin Yu's cultivation of the *Xing Chen Bian* technique, when the universe took shape, he directly surpassed the Heavenly Lord and achieved the *Xuanhuang* Undying Body, which was even more amazing than Lin Lei's transformation.

Of course, what makes the Controller truly powerful is not just the physical body. Whether it is achieving the Hong Meng Body or the *Xuanhuang* Undying Body, it is only a transformation of the physical body. Their understanding of the laws still remains at the original level. This is also why they need to obtain the recognition of the Hong Meng Gold List to control the Hong Meng Force.

However, Hong Meng is quite special. He was born standing in this field and is the highest level of being. All the rules in this Hong Meng Space were created by him. How strong he is, Jiang Xuan could not estimate. At least the current Jiang Xuan is definitely not his opponent.

Even in his opinion, even if he refined the *Xuanhuang* Undying Body, there was still a big gap between himself and Hong Meng, which was an essential difference, a difference in Dao cultivation, regardless of physique.

After all, Hong Meng was the true Dao opener of this Hong Meng Space, and all Dao and Dharma originated from him. Even the paths taken by Lin Lei and Qin Yu later followed the paths of the Hong Meng Body and *Xuanhuang* Undying Body he created, and did not truly transcend his Dao.

Only Jiang Xuan can be considered an outlier. Although his physical body can now be said to be the Hong Meng Body, he can abandon it at any time and refine another one.

His essence is different from Hong Meng's. Hong Meng's Dao is from the outside to the inside. The physique first transforms to the level of the *Xuanhuang* Undying Body, and then the Dao cultivation transforms. But he is different. He is from the inside to the outside. His Dao fruit first transforms and turns into the Myriad Realms Dao Tree, and then condenses the Hong Meng Body.

The physical body is not important to him. As long as there is enough Hong Meng Force, he can refine another physical body at any time. And in this endless space filled with the Hong Meng Force, Jiang Xuan is even more like a fish in water, and there is no need to worry about his physical body being destroyed.

“Big Brother's method of creating the universe is indeed of great use to me.” Jiang Xuan smiled. Because the essence is different, the next path is also different, but Hong Meng's method also gave Jiang Xuan a direction.

After Hong Meng's level of universe is successfully opened up, *Xuanhuang* energy will be born, and in Jiang Xuan's vision, the next stage of the Myriad Realms Dao Tree is one leaf, one myriad realms.

Of course, the myriad realms here do not refer to the real myriad realms, but a Hong Meng-level universe. If his method is completely successful, the *Xuanhuang* energy born from countless Hong Meng-level universes will replace the Hong Meng Force and become the nourishment of the Myriad Realms Dao Tree, causing it to transform again. At that time, what level it will reach, even he himself cannot imagine.

However, at present, it is completely impossible for him to reach that step, because according to the method of opening up the universe given by Hong Meng, even a first-level Hong Meng Controller can only open up one Hong Meng-level universe. The level of the laws of the universe opened up later and the limit of the strong that can be carried will be reduced by a large level.

For example, in the Hong Meng Universe, the strongest in the main universe is the Heavenly Lord, the strongest law is the Law of Time, and the Law of Space is second. In its four subsidiary universes, the strongest can only reach the level of the God King, and the Law of Space is the strongest law.

At the same time, the Hong Meng Gold List also stipulates that there can only be four first-level Controllers at most, which also means that the Hong Meng Space can only carry four Hong Meng-level universes at most.

As for the low-level universes, there are no restrictions.

In Jiang Xuan's view, this can also be used as a standard to distinguish the strength of endless spaces. A powerful endless space can naturally carry more Hong Meng-level universes.

Therefore, it is completely impossible for Jiang Xuan to reach the level of one leaf, one myriad realms, in the Hong Meng Space. Judging from the data alone, it has surpassed the entire Hong Meng Space and must be changed.

“Hahaha, it’s good as long as it’s useful!”

Hong Meng was very happy today. He had been waiting for more than a thousand *yanji* epochs, and finally waited for a being of the same level, so he was naturally very happy.

“By the way, there is one more thing I want you to see.”

Hong Meng waved his hand, and Qin Yu clearly saw a golden list coming from beyond the endless Dao.

Gu Yang
“This is… the Hong Meng Gold List?” Jiang Xuan asked curiously. This golden list had a special pressure that even made him feel a palpitation.

“That’s right!” Hong Meng nodded. “I am even more curious about the world you were originally in. You even know about the Hong Meng Gold List.”

Jiang Xuan smiled faintly. Although he knew about the Hong Meng Gold List, this was also the first time he had seen it.

This Hong Meng Gold List is six meters long and half a meter wide. The entire Hong Meng Gold List is golden, and behind the Hong Meng Gold List, there is a huge character that is about the same size as the Hong Meng Gold List.

This character is very unique. Even if Jiang Xuan had never seen it before, he could understand its meaning. This is the character "Meng", but the specific meaning is not clear.

On the first line of the Hong Meng Gold List, there is also a character, which is also that kind of unique character, but the meaning is different. It is the character "Hong".

“Jiang Xuan, as long as you integrate a trace of your soul imprint into it, you can become the ‘Hong Meng Controller’. And once you become the Controller, you can calculate the fate of almost all lives in the Hong Meng, no matter which universe, and you can also call any energy.”

“Of course, in the Hong Meng Space, there are also people whose fate is uncertain. Even the Hong Meng Gold List cannot deduce their fate. You will know the specifics after you become the Controller.” Hong Meng said with a smile.

Jiang Xuan nodded, and with a thought, a trace of his soul power flew over and integrated into the Hong Meng Gold List.

The Hong Meng Gold List suddenly lit up, and the golden light shot out from the Hong Meng Gold List, crossing the void chaos and covering the endless space.

After a while, the Hong Meng Gold List returned to its normal state. The first line of the Hong Meng Gold List became two characters, namely "Hong" and "Jiang". After today, Jiang Xuan also has another name - Jiang Meng!

When the character “Jiang” appeared, endless information also poured into Jiang Xuan’s mind, including the information of the Hong Meng Space, and also all the information in Hong Meng’s “Hong Meng Universe.”

“Huh… Is it already this time?”

Jiang Xuan's heart moved, but he didn't show it, and continued to talk with Hong Meng: "This Hong Meng Gold List is really magical. I wonder who the remaining two first-level Controllers will be?"

“Yes, I waited for more than a thousand *yanji* epochs before finally waiting for you. When will the next Controller appear? It’s really an unknown.” Hong Meng also sighed with emotion.

The Controller will not be a being with a fixed destiny, which also means that even he cannot predict who will become the Controller, so he can only choose to wait.

“Well, and when there are more Controllers in the future, maybe the pattern of this Hong Meng Space will also change.” Jiang Xuan said with a smile. No matter which level of Controller, they can open up universes, but the level of the universes is different.

At the same time, the Hong Meng Space itself will also evolve universes, but these universes are not like the universes opened up by Controllers, which can exist forever, but have a limit, and can only exist for one *yanji* epoch at most, and then they will be destroyed and return to the Hong Meng.

This is also the reason why Hong Meng set 60 million billion years as a *yanji* epoch.

“Haha, yes, the future Hong Meng Space will definitely become more and more interesting.” Hong Meng laughed. He originally opened up the universe because he was bored, and also hoped that some beings could reach his level. Now that the first Controller born after birth has appeared, he has naturally given him confidence.

“By the way, Big Brother, I’m going to go back to my home universe to take a look. Is that okay?” After chatting with Hong Meng for a while, Jiang Xuan asked.

“Of course…” Hong Meng nodded. “Speaking of which, in that subsidiary universe you were in before, another person with an uncertain destiny has been born. I wonder what step they will eventually reach?”

“Just let it be, isn’t this what Big Brother hopes for?” Jiang Xuan said with a smile. That person with an uncertain destiny is naturally Lin Lei. He had already discovered it when he became the Controller before.

Of course, unlike other worlds, Jiang Xuan will not interfere in Lin Lei's affairs, because in Hong Meng's concept, only those who break through the shackles by themselves and become Controllers are qualified to become his brothers.

After all, if Hong Meng is willing, he can completely guide those with uncertain destinies and teach them how to cultivate the Hong Meng Body. In more than a thousand *yanji* epochs, even if there are fewer, there must be people with uncertain destinies who successfully refine the Hong Meng Body and are qualified to become Controllers.

But this is not what Hong Meng wants to see, so he has set some rules, such as not being able to guide those with uncertain destinies to cultivate a path that can surpass the Heavenly Lord, otherwise, even if that being can become a Controller, he must always suppress the realm of this being until all four first-level Controllers appear.

It is precisely because of this that Jiang Xuan does not intend to interfere with Lin Lei's fate. Anyway, Lin Lei is destined to become a Controller, and he doesn't need to guide him. Just let it be.

…

In the Panlong subsidiary universe, now that he has returned again, it is already different. This universe is too fragile in his eyes.

As far as his eyes can see, the fates of hundreds of millions of lives are clear, and only one being in the original material plane cannot be seen through.

“Huh… In the Immortal-Devil Civilization’s subsidiary universe, a person with an uncertain destiny has died?” Jiang Xuan felt something in his heart and looked towards another void, where there is also a universe, surrounding the Hong Meng main universe, which is the Immortal-Devil Civilization.

Jiang Xuan stretched out a hand, and the true spirit of that person with an uncertain destiny had not completely dissipated, and he was re-condensed and trapped in his palm.

“One life, one death, you and Lin Lei are quite destined.”

Jiang Xuan chuckled. Lin Lei was born today, and this being died today, as if it were a cycle.

“If I give you another life, what step can you take?”

Jiang Xuan thought to himself that he also wanted to try how difficult it is to guide a being to become a Controller.

Of course, if he does this, even if this being can become a Controller, he must suppress them for two *yanji* epochs until Qin Yu succeeds, but this is also the karma he should bear, because if Jiang Xuan doesn’t take action, he will be completely destroyed today, let alone become a Controller.

“An Immortal cultivator traveling to another world is also interesting.” Jiang Xuan chuckled, then waved his hand and directly threw the true spirit of this person with an uncertain destiny into the Yulan Continent.
