“What do you think?” Hong Meng asked.

Hearing Hong Meng's voice, Jiang Xuan also returned from his fantasy, looked at Hong Meng in front of him, and said, “This junior is naturally willing.”

Becoming a Celestial Venerable would not be bad for him.

Moreover, even if Hong Meng allowed him to continue staying in the Panlong Universe, it wouldn’t be good for him. After all, he didn’t possess the Hong Meng Physique or the Xuanhuang Undying Body. Once he used space-time means to break through the shackles of the subsidiary universe, triggering the power of Hong Meng, he would be the one suffering.

“Good.” Hong Meng said with a smile, then waved his hand, and space-time suddenly changed, as did the scenery of heaven and earth. In the blink of an eye, they arrived at another world.

“This is the God Realm of the main universe,” Hong Meng said. At the same time, mysterious energy was gathering in his hand, energy that Jiang Xuan had never felt before, like the origin of all tangible things.

After a few breaths, the mysterious energy stopped condensing, and Hong Meng had a pagoda in his hand. It had nine layers, was completely black, shrouded in a layer of chaotic light, and possessed endless mysteries of space-time.

“This pagoda is a Celestial Venerable spiritual treasure, containing complete laws of space-time. It can help you comprehend the mysteries of the rules and become a Celestial Venerable.” Hong Meng floated the pagoda in his hand over, the laws of space-time evolving, explaining the supreme truth.

“Was that Hong Meng power just now?” Jiang Xuan was surprised. In just a few breaths, a Celestial Venerable spiritual treasure had already been refined, completely creating something from nothing, which was incredible.

The pagoda landed in Jiang Xuan's hand, and Hong Meng's voice came to his ears: "This pagoda has many abilities, you can explore them yourself. As for the name, you are free to name it."

Jiang Xuan held the pagoda in his hands and bowed, “Thank you, Senior.”

“Mm.” Hong Meng nodded, and then his figure gradually dissipated, and the surrounding space-time returned to normal. Jiang Xuan was finally able to sense this world.

“It’s truly amazing. Space-time is stable, the rules are complete, and there’s not a single flaw to be found.” Jiang Xuan sighed. This world was indeed the God Realm in the main universe, with the highest level of rule system.

Ordinary creatures, such as those in the Dunyi realm in the Perfect World, would probably only be able to walk here, unable to even fly, let alone tear through space. As for lower-level creatures, they would not be able to survive here at all.

“First, I’ll cultivate in seclusion, and then… I’ll go and see this vast world.” Jiang Xuan yearned for it, but the most important thing now was cultivation. He would talk about other things after becoming a Celestial Venerable.

Looking at the pagoda in his hand, Jiang Xuan directly transformed into a ray of immortal light and entered it. Chaotic light rose, covering the myriad phenomena of heaven and earth, while the two laws of time and space were also flowing, isolating the universe.

Inside the pagoda, Jiang Xuan sat cross-legged. When Hong Meng gave him this pagoda, he had already made the pagoda recognize him as its master, so he was also clear about the various functions of the pagoda.

The most important function was that it could help him comprehend the laws of space-time. In Hong Meng's main universe, a cultivator could become a God King after comprehending the laws of space, and could become a Celestial Venerable after comprehending the laws of time.

And this Celestial Venerable spiritual treasure was to evolve the laws of time and space in the main universe to the extreme. In addition, it also contained all the basic laws of the main universe. Entering it to comprehend them would be a thousand times easier than in the outside world!

What was even more crucial was that this pagoda could also adjust the flow of time, and unlike the time treasure in Jiang Xuan's hand in the Desolate Era world, this pagoda changed the flow of time without needing to provide its own energy, and could absorb energy from the void to operate on its own.

For example, right now, time was accelerated by hundreds of millions of times. One year outside was equivalent to hundreds of millions of years inside the pagoda!

Of course, Celestial Venerable spiritual treasures also had their limits. After all, their level was there. Once Jiang Xuan became a Celestial Venerable, this item would become the same as the time treasure in the Desolate Era world.

After all, after becoming a Celestial Venerable, one would completely master the laws of time and space, and the Celestial Venerable spiritual treasure would naturally be unable to change it actively, requiring Jiang Xuan to use his own cultivation to support its change in the flow of time.

But for the current Jiang Xuan, this item was indeed a treasure that could allow him to transform in the shortest amount of time.

“With this pagoda, there’s plenty of time, and I can try out many ideas from other worlds!”

Jiang Xuan wasn’t in a hurry to become a Celestial Venerable. In his eyes, the greatest use of this pagoda was to change the flow of time. However, once he became a Celestial Venerable, the effectiveness of this pagoda would be greatly reduced.

Of course, without becoming a Celestial Venerable, it would be difficult to comprehend the higher-level rules and order, but he could still deduce some of his past ideas to the highest level of the current realm, which could greatly shorten the cultivation time of other Jiang Xuans.

With this thought, Jiang Xuan directly began to cultivate, began to deduce the laws of the heavens, so as to condense the Dao fruit and perfect his own realm.

Time flew by, and Jiang Xuan in the pagoda didn’t know how many tens of thousands of years he had cultivated, but by now, his Dao fruit had long been flawless, and the Dao and laws of various realms had also been deduced and melted into one furnace by him.

No matter which realm's Dao and laws, they had been deduced to the extreme of the current realm, with no room for further improvement.

Because of this, Jiang Xuan began to comprehend the time law of the main universe. In this realm, the time law was divided into three levels: the first level was time acceleration, the second level was time stop, and the third level was time reversal.

Only by fully comprehending the law of time could one become a Celestial Venerable.

After Jiang Xuan’s Dao fruit was flawless, he had already fully comprehended the first two levels, and now he only lacked the third level.

This wasn’t very difficult for him. After all, he mainly cultivated the laws of space-time, and Jiang Xuan in other worlds had also personally experienced the power of time reversal. Now, with the complete law of time in front of him, it was naturally twice the result with half the effort.

…

In the Hong Meng God Realm, only one Celestial Venerable could be born in each Epoch. Since the creation of the heavens and earth, more than a thousand Celestial Venerables have been born, but Celestial Venerables are not immortal, and can also die in battle or perish.

After all, Celestial Venerable-level battles can also break out in the God Realm, especially when Celestial Venerables are about to be born in each Epoch. Wars will naturally break out between the God Kings of different camps, and sometimes even the Celestial Venerables behind them will participate in the battle.

Moreover, although the lifespan of a Celestial Venerable is eternal, Hong Meng has determined their fate. Some Celestial Venerables have an eternal fate, while others only have a fate of a few Epochs.

Once their fate arrives, they will die and disappear for various reasons.

Because of this, there are now less than a hundred Celestial Venerables in the Hong Meng God Realm, but there are many God Kings.

Now, this Epoch is also coming to an end, and many God Kings in the God Realm are preparing to compete for the position of Celestial Venerable.

However, on this day, three-colored lights suddenly appeared in the heavens and earth, soaring into the sky, and the two laws of time and space were evolving.

“Celestial Venerable?! How is that possible? The Celestial Venerable spiritual treasure has not yet appeared, how can a Celestial Venerable be born?”

“There is only one chance in 60 million trillion years, how can it be so unannounced this time, why is it like this?”

“Could it be a breakthrough through self-cultivation? There have been a few in ancient history, could there be another one now?”

The ancient existences in all directions of the God Realm sensed it and looked out one after another, their eyes full of disbelief. This Epoch had not yet ended, and the Celestial Venerable spiritual treasure had not yet descended, but the anomalies and aura would not be fake. It was clear that a living being had achieved the Celestial Venerable status.

On the other side, Jiang Xuan stood in the void and also sensed the auras coming from all directions. There were as many as ninety-five of them that were no weaker than him, which meant that in addition to him, there were as many as ninety-five Celestial Venerables in the Hong Meng God Realm.

He responded with his divine sense and also expressed his goodwill, and those Celestial Venerables also responded and invited him to meet in a certain place.

Jiang Xuan naturally agreed. Although he has become a Celestial Venerable now, he knows very little about the Hong Meng God Realm and even the entire main universe. This meeting with many Celestial Venerables could be an opportunity to inquire.

After that, Jiang Xuan put away the pagoda. Now the pagoda was named the Samsara Pagoda by Jiang Xuan. This pagoda still had the same effect on the creatures below the Celestial Venerable.

However, even if he gave the Samsara Pagoda to those creatures who were close to the Celestial Venerable and allowed them to comprehend it, they might not be able to become Celestial Venerables, because in this main universe, who can become a Celestial Venerable has already been decided.

In addition, the Samsara Pagoda has many other abilities. For example, this pagoda can be divided into three, turning into the three pagodas of Years, Void, and Chaos, each with different functions, but they can all be regarded as first-class Hong Meng spiritual treasures.

You must know that in the main universe, the Celestial Venerable spiritual treasure is the ultimate treasure, and can only be born innately, unless it is like Jiang Xuan, personally bestowed by Hong Meng, otherwise only one will be born in an Epoch.

As for those refined by the creatures of the God Realm, they are all acquired spiritual treasures, and can only be regarded as acquired Hong Meng spiritual treasures, but Jiang Xuan's Samsara Pagoda, even if it is divided into three, is also a first-class innate Hong Meng spiritual treasure, and it was refined by Hong Meng himself, making it even more special and magical.

Before long, Jiang Xuan arrived at the place where the other Celestial Venerables had invited him to meet. It was a divine mountain, and Jiang Xuan could see that this mountain was refined from many divine objects, and its power was comparable to that of a first-class Hong Meng spiritual treasure.

Outside the divine mountain, there were also many formations hidden in the void, covering its entire appearance, and possessing the power of slaughter that was rare in the world, completely like a war fortress.

“Fellow Daoist, please!”

When Jiang Xuan arrived, a voice also came from this mountain, and at the same time, the countless great formations opened a gap, inviting him to enter.

Jiang Xuan did not hesitate. This divine mountain had irresistible power to creatures below the Celestial Venerable, but for creatures of their level, it was nothing, so naturally there was no fear.

Stepping into the divine mountain was more like stepping into a vast world, magnificent and huge. You could see many divine medicines and sacred trees, and even many super divine beasts living in it.

And in the most core area, there was also a dazzling immortal palace, standing in the center, emitting wisps of immortal mist, and even a sky full of immortal light, illuminating everything, and vaguely, there seemed to be voices of great Dao scriptures rising and falling.

Jiang Xuan came to the front of the immortal palace. At this time, there were already three Celestial Venerables waiting here. Seeing Jiang Xuan's arrival, they also invited Jiang Xuan into the immortal palace with goodwill.

“Fellow Daoist Tai Xuan, you have comprehended the law of time and broke through the Celestial Venerable position on your own?” A Celestial Venerable wearing immortal gold armor and a burly figure asked.

Jiang Xuan looked at him. When entering the immortal palace, they had already told each other their titles. For example, the one in front of him was named Tianya, and became a Celestial Venerable eleven Epochs ago, making him one of the younger Celestial Venerables.

“No, I also comprehended the law of time with the help of the Celestial Venerable spiritual treasure.” Jiang Xuan explained, and added: “I know that you all want to ask me about the Celestial Venerable spiritual treasure, but this matter is related to the creator of the God Realm, so please forgive me for not being able to tell you.”

The three Celestial Venerables understood. If it was related to that one, then there was really nothing to say. After all, the position of Celestial Venerable was very important to countless creatures in the God Realm, but in that one's eyes, it was nothing.

“Hehe, since it is related to that one, we don’t need to ask any more questions. I would like to congratulate Fellow Daoist Tai Xuan on achieving the Celestial Venerable status.” This time, the one who spoke was Celestial Venerable Changgu, dressed in a Taoist robe and with an immortal demeanor.

This was an ancient Celestial Venerable, an existence from a hundred Epochs ago. Among the Celestial Venerables living in the world, he could be regarded as the oldest batch, so he knew more.

“That’s right, congratulations!” Another Celestial Venerable spoke. This was a female Celestial Venerable, named Yunwu, who achieved enlightenment five Epochs ago, making her one of the youngest Celestial Venerables.

The three Celestial Venerables all congratulated Jiang Xuan with goodwill. Although there were many Celestial Venerables in the God Realm now, the birth of a Celestial Venerable was still a major event that could shake all parties. Only three came here today, because they represented the three camps of the Celestial Venerables.

After all, the Hong Meng God Realm had existed for too long, and more than a thousand Celestial Venerables had been born so far, but Hong Meng had never interfered in the affairs of the creatures in each universe. He didn’t care about any disputes, opposition, blood battles, hatred… Therefore, over the long years, camps had emerged.

But in general, the biggest contradiction was still between the Ascendants and the native cultivators of the God Realm. As for the divisions within each camp, they were nothing.

Among the three Celestial Venerables in front of him, Tianya represented the Ascendant Alliance. The Celestial Venerables in this alliance were all Ascendants from the lower realms. It was because of them that the Ascendants from the lower realms had better treatment.

As for Yunwu, she represented the God Realm Alliance, which was the native Celestial Venerables of the God Realm. They had a great advantage, especially in the probability of the birth of Celestial Venerables. The probability of native creatures of the God Realm was higher than that of Ascendants.

As for Changgu, he represented neutrality. This was a group of free-spirited individuals, and could not even be regarded as an organization. Many Celestial Venerables who were unwilling to fight were in it, and did not interfere in the struggles of the other two camps.

Because of this, although this camp was very loose, the number of Celestial Venerables was the largest, and nearly half of the Celestial Venerables had chosen this camp.

As for the Ascendant Alliance and the God Realm Alliance, the two major camps have become more balanced now, and there are very few real Celestial Venerable-level wars. Furthermore, even within their respective camps, there are factions, which is one of the reasons why more and more Celestial Venerables choose the neutral camp.

The reason why Changgu and the other three came today was to ask Jiang Xuan which camp he would choose. Jiang Xuan decided this very quickly. He was not interested in the fight between the Ascendants and the native creatures of the God Realm. With that time, it would be better to study how to practice the Hong Meng Physique and become a controller.

Moreover, he was neither an Ascendant nor a native creature of the God Realm, and there was no Transcendent Alliance, so it would be better to be a free-spirited individual and cultivate according to his own ideas.

The three Celestial Venerables naturally respected his choice, but Celestial Venerable Changgu also told Jiang Xuan some taboos. After all, choosing neutrality also came at a price, otherwise the other two camps would not have allowed the neutral camp to develop.

The most crucial of these were two:

First, the Celestial Venerables of the neutral camp must not interfere in the struggles of the other two major camps. Once they interfered, they would be deemed to have left the neutral camp.

Second, the Celestial Venerables of the neutral camp must swear to Hong Meng that they would not unite in any form to oppose the other two major camps.

The first one was easy to understand, as for the second one, it was because the neutral camp was becoming more and more powerful. If the Celestial Venerables in it really united, they could completely fight two against one and compete with the other two major camps. Of course, those who chose to join the neutral camp did not have this idea.
