596 Hong Fugui’s Encounter, News of Jiang Qiqi (2)

　　“Teacher, you know this old man?” Hong Fugui asked in surprise.

　　“I suppose.” Cui Heng nodded and asked in a low voice, “Do you know the name Zhou Juntian?”

　　“Zhou Juntian?” Hong Fugui was stunned when he heard that. He said in confusion, “I heard from Hong Ci that he was the last Ascender before the Purple Sun Heaven collapsed. Is this old man related to him?”

　　“…” Cui Heng was also stunned. Hong Fugui’s understanding of Zhou Juntian was really a little “ancient”, so he shook his head gently. “This old man is Zhou Juntian.”

　　Then, he briefly introduced Zhou Juntian.

　　“So it’s the artifact spirit of the Six Heaven Gates Diagram. But why did he guide me?” Hong Fugui frowned even more when he heard this and said to Cui Heng, “Teacher, I have news about him here.”

　　“What news?” Cui Heng asked in surprise. From the looks of it, Hong Fugui did not understand Zhou Juntian, but he seemed to have heard of the Six Heaven Gates Diagram.

　　This was very strange.

　　“It’s like this,” Hong Fugui explained. “When I first came to this Immortal Land, I encountered a woman. She was looking for the artifact spirit of the Six Heaven Gates Diagram. It seemed like it was for something very important.

　　Coincidentally, that woman came from the same Star Field as me. It was also for this reason that she noticed me. Unfortunately, before we could talk in detail, she left in a hurry.

　　She calls herself Jiang Hengxia. Teacher, do you have any impression of her?”

　　“…” Cui Heng was stunned when he heard this. He said in surprise, “You met her? What was her state at that time?”

　　“I’ve seen her before, but we’ve only chatted briefly two or three times.” Hong Fugui was a little surprised and asked curiously, “Teacher, you know her? At that time, she was already at the Seventh True World Realm and her cultivation was far above mine, but she always gave off a feeling of being in a hurry.”

　　“I didn’t expect her to also come to this Immortal Land.” Cui Heng shook his head and sighed softly. “In a sense, she should be your junior sister.”

　　“What?!” Hong Fugui was stunned and said in surprise, “Could it be that she also came from Daozhou Star and accidentally entered this Immortal realm?”

　　“That’s right.” Cui Heng nodded and chuckled. “Perhaps this is fate. Even at my realm, fate is still an unfathomable and unclear concept.”

　　“Teacher, you should already be in the Dao Realm, right?” Hong Fugui asked curiously. “It’s said that this is the peak of cultivation. Can’t you understand fate?”

　　“Dao Realm?” Cui Heng smiled when he heard that. “How much do you know about the Dao Realm?”

　　“…” Hong Fugui fell silent when he heard this. Then, he smiled bitterly and said, “I know nothing. I was originally only at the Fifth True World Realm. After successfully overcoming the Human Emperor’s possession, I’m only at the Tenth True World Realm. I’m still too far from the Dao Realm.”

　　“I don’t know much about the Dao Realm either,” Cui Heng said in a low voice. “However, what I’m sure of is that the Dao Realm is definitely not the end-point of cultivation.”

　　After all, the 12 True World Realms were only close to the Late-stage Soul Formation realm. The level of the Dao Realm was probably equivalent to the Late-stage Soul Formation realm, Peak Soul Formation realm, and Return to Void realm.

　　Above the Return to Void realm was the Dao Integration realm. Above the Dao Integration realm was the Tribulation Transcendence realm. After the Tribulation Transcendence realm, one would reach the Mahayana realm. However, the Mahayana realm was only the cultivation realm before Immortal Ascension.

　　As for the realms after becoming an Immortal, he did not know.

　　He could only confirm that the so-called “Dao Realm” was definitely far from the end of cultivation.

　　However, to Hong Fugui, this had another meaning.

　　“Teacher’s realm is definitely above the 12 True World Realms, and he’s sure that the Dao Realm is not the end-point of cultivation. But he also said that he doesn’t know much about the Dao Realm. Could it be…”

　　A guess that shocked him appeared in Hong Fugui’s heart. “Could it be that Teacher is actually a divine being who was born with divine powers and was born with a cultivation above the Dao Realm?! In that case, it’s normal for him not to understand the Dao Realm.”

　　This was because his powers were at a higher level than the Dao Realm from birth, so he had never experienced cultivation at the Dao Realm level.

　　Cui Heng didn’t know what guess Hong Fugui had, but he continued, “Let’s change the topic to Zhou Juntian. Now that we can basically confirm that he guided you, what do you think his goal might be?”

　　“The Human Monarch’s inheritance and information about the Human Monarch,” Hong Fugui said without thinking. “Actually, from the moment I discovered the passageway to another Star Field, I had already embarked on the path of exploring the Human Monarch’s secrets.

　　If Zhou Juntian really had a goal for guiding me in this direction, this is most likely the most important thing… Teacher, what should I do next? Should I continue exploring?”

　　“Is exploring the secrets of the Human Monarch really the path you want to take?” Cui Heng asked with a smile.

　　“…” Hong Fugui felt as if he had been struck by lightning when he heard this. His entire body froze. After a while, he regained his senses and suddenly knelt on the ground. “Thank you for your guidance, Teacher. I almost went astray.”

　　In the beginning, he only treated exploring the secrets of the Human Monarch as a method to become stronger. He wanted to become stronger so that he could better practice the Great Dao in his heart.

　　But gradually, he’d gone astray.

　　Cui Heng’s question woke him up.

　　“It’s good that you’ve thought it through.” Cui Heng helped Hong Fugui up and smiled. “However, I’ll continue to search for information about the Human Monarch and see what Zhou Juntian wants to do.

　　“Since the Human Monarch is related to the Immortal Domains, the best way to explore should be to find the survivors of the Immortal Domains in this land, especially the Lord of the Immortals. He might know something.”

　　“But isn’t the Lord of the Immortals already…” Hong Fugui hesitated. He already knew that the Lord of the Immortals had been beaten to death by the Teacher in front of him.

　　“One can still be revived after death.” Cui Heng chuckled, as if he was talking about the most ordinary thing.

　　“…” Hong Fugui did not know what to say.

　　A moment later, Cui Heng brought Hong Fugui to the sky above the capital of Liang Kingdom.

　　This was the place where he had destroyed the Lord of the Immortals in body and soul.

　　The appearance of “Cui Qing” again immediately attracted the attention of many experts.

　　Many people’s faces turned pale, afraid that “Cui Qing” had changed his mind and wanted to destroy the world.

　　Some of the Immortal experts overseas also noticed the appearance of “Cui Qing”. Their hearts were filled with anger and hatred, but none of them really dared to avenge the Lord of the Immortals.

　　At this moment, “Cui Qing” suddenly raised his right hand and formed a seal. His left hand pointed at the place where the Lord of the Immortals had been reduced to ashes as he shouted in a low voice.

　　“Awaken!!”
