"I am the owner of Kyushu's cauldron, and my name is Yu!"

  A thick and warm voice came out of this virtual human shadow's mouth.

  Yu Huang? It's Yu Huang! Teng Qing Shan was shocked and completely lost his breath.

  Yu Huang's influence is too great in the nine states!

  He is the strongest in history!

  He was the first to unify the entire world, and is revered by the whole world as 'Yu Huang'. Nowadays, he is still worshipped year after year by people all over the nine provinces as a divine spirit.

  He unified the entire world, set up nine tripod cauldrons, and divided it into nine states! It was also from then on that this vast world came to be called the Nine States.

  It was also after Yu Huang that the entire nine states had real cohesion, and everyone recognized themselves as the children of the nine states. During the annual festival, they worshiped Yu Huang and the nine tripods! In the hearts of all the children of the nine states, in terms of status... The Qinling Tian Emperor, Sakyamuni, and the Poetic Sword Immortal behind him cannot be compared to Yu Huang.

  Yu Huang has been deified!

  Become the faith in the hearts of generations!

  "When you found this, I couldn't even guess how many years had passed." The tall virtual figure sighed, "In the flow of time, nothing can exist forever. I couldn't even guess... whether your generation still knows me, Yu!"

  Teng Qing Shan listened quietly, and he understood that this was a fragment of Yu Huang's image. "Yu Huang said I am the owner of the Nine States Cauldron? Could it be..." Teng Qing Shan stroked the small cauldron on his chest, "Is this one of the Nine States Cauldrons?"

  The tall virtual figure continued speaking.

  "The owner of Kyushu Ding, I will leave this Tian Hong Water Palace for the future generations who come after me. Of course, while having expectations for you, I will also leave some treasures for you." The thick and gentle voice kept echoing inside the light mask, making Emperor Yu's voice very comfortable to listen to.

  Although he didn't see Yu Huang in person, just a video, Teng Qing Shan already had a good impression of Yu Huang.

  "What is it that you want from me? Leave your treasure with me?" Ting Qing Shan listened carefully.

  Yu Huang smiled and said, "In my youth, there were countless tribes on the land, killing each other. Moreover, there were many mountains and rivers on the land, causing disasters everywhere. I wanted to change all this... But to achieve all this, one must possess extraordinary martial power. I comprehended the heavens and earth, and cultivated bitterly along the way, while also leading my tribe to expand continuously... Of course, I experienced many things, until finally, I broke through the void and reached the realm of perfection, unifying the entire world under heaven, splitting open mountain ranges, clarifying rivers, and ultimately establishing the Nine Tripods, dividing the land into nine states... Having said all this, you should have a certain understanding of me."

  Hong Qingshan smiled secretly.

  Yu Huang indeed has a point... He's probably worried that after such a long time, there won't be any records of his deeds left in the world, so he briefly mentioned it. It's not surprising that Yu Huang would think this way.

  After all—

  Before Yu Huang, one by one tribe perished, and one by one heroic figure left no trace in history. Yu Huang cannot predict the future.

  "Do you know why I set up the Nine Tripods and divided the land into nine provinces?" said the tall, virtual shadow.

  "Huh?" Teng Qing Shan was puzzled.

  Divide into nine states? It should be a better notice, establish nine tripods? Symbolic meaning only.

  "Establish the Nine Tripods, divide into nine states! This involves the secrets of the entire world... If you can reach the Virtual Realm's Great Completion, I estimate you'll understand." The tall virtual shadowy figure said.

  Hong Qingshan's eyes lit up.

  He hadn't even entered the virtual realm, let alone achieved great success: "Originally setting up nine tripods, dividing into nine states, and involving a major secret?" Teng Qing Shan listened carefully.

  "This cultivation method absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, refining essence to transform it into Qi. This is the post-heavenly stage! Afterwards, one nurtures the spirit to achieve harmony between the spirit and Qi. Only then can one 'refine Qi to transform the spirit', reaching the pre-heavenly realm. This pre-heavenly realm is actually just nurturing the spirit, making the spirit stronger, continuously merging into the Dan Tian, making the pre-heavenly true yuan even stronger. Reaching the 'pre-heavenly golden elixir', it can be said that the human body itself has reached an extreme." Yu Huang said.

  Mount Qing's scenery is suddenly bright and clear.

  Some scriptures always mention various realms, but they are all illusory. In fact, it is just 'nourishing the spirit', making the spirit stronger.

  Hong Qing Shan was overjoyed: "Right, the Xiantian Golden Elixir can use 'divine' to eliminate air resistance. Right, the three major realms of Xiantian are actually the process of 'divine' becoming stronger."

  "After reaching the Innate Golden Elixir, one's 'spirit' is strong enough. Then you can start to comprehend Heaven and Earth, and understand the Way of Heaven and Earth." Yu Huang said, "Simply put... it's like getting to know a person. The Void Realm is just getting to know Heaven and Earth! When you get to know them more deeply, you can start to call upon the power of Heaven and Earth, then you've entered the Void Realm! This is also what 'Refining Spirit Returning to Void' means!" The tall and majestic virtual shadow continued to say.

  Teng Qing Shan nodded silently and listened carefully.

  "The void realm can be divided into two levels: 'entering the void' and 'penetrating the void'," said Yu Huang, a virtual person's shadow. "'Entering the void' means to let oneself perceive the heaven and earth, merge with the heaven and earth, reach the extreme, and then completely merge with the heaven and earth, even to the point of becoming invisible... In my 300 years in this world, I found that throughout the land, except for me, only three people can achieve 'entering the void'. As for 'penetrating the void', it's an even more unattainable realm."

  Hong Qingshan secretly admired him.

  It's actually very difficult to comprehend the entire universe and reach the extreme: "I estimate that now, among the nine states and eight major sects, those Void Realm experts, at most 10% have 'entered the void'."

  "What is Dōng Xū? Dōng Xū means to see through the void and understand the emptiness! The void, also refers to the vastness of the universe! What does it mean to see through the void? This is actually seeing through the essence of the universe, and even creating one's own void based on that understanding!" Yu Huang said, "This is very difficult, I estimate that among ten Void Realms, having one Dōng Xū would be good enough."

  Hong Qingshan was very clever and completely understood Yu Huang's meaning.

  Entering emptiness, they can merge with the universe and borrow its power. Just like car repair workers, they know the structure of cars, when some parts of the car have problems, they can fix them.

  While understanding is equivalent to knowing how any part of a car is constructed, even knowing how steel is manufactured... They can rely on themselves alone to recreate a car.

  "Dong Xu, unexpectedly, is it understanding the essence of heaven and earth, based on the construction of heaven and earth, creating a void that belongs to oneself?" Teng Qing Shan was completely shocked.

  "Entering the void is merely merging with the universe. Piercing the void, however, is creating a void of one's own, that is, creating one's own 'universe'." The majestic virtual silhouette sighed, "Of course, piercing the void isn't much stronger than entering the void."

  Teng Qing Shan didn't quite understand.

  How much stronger is Dōng Xū compared to Rì Ruò?

  "Because, the strong void is refining and transforming the energy of heaven and earth, creating a world that belongs to oneself! This is being suppressed by heaven and earth." The tall figure said, "Moreover, the strong void, due to being suppressed and having too little energy to refine, creates a very small world. Generally, it can only be constructed within one's own body."

  Hong Qingshan thought for a moment and understood.

  The boundless land of the nine continents is a world!

  A strong void, can see through the essence of the world, and create a world that belongs to it... As for 'the world', the nine continents naturally reject!

  However, the vast land of Kyushu is a boundless ocean, and the world of Dongxu's strongmen is just a drop of water! The gap in strength between each other is too great. Even so, they can only create worlds within their bodies.

  "Of course, the world opened up by a strong Void Pupil in their own body is far inferior to the Nine States Continent." The tall figure sighed.

  Hong Qingshan nodded.

  The small world opened up by a strong and hollow man is like a thatched cottage. The nine continents of the earth are like skyscrapers.

  "When the world within is small, yet as one gains more insight into the nature of heaven and earth, this inner world can be built to become even more perfect. Until one day... the inner world becomes strong enough to withstand the pressure of the nine continents' world, that's when I reached my current realm." High Lord Shadow said, "At that time, your world will expand... within your own world, you are absolutely invincible!"

  Mount Qingyun is suddenly enlightened!

  No wonder... The strongest, dare to claim that one person can unify the world.

  It turns out that the strongest have their own world! The world is spread open, and within this range, the strongest are the masters. Whether it's a strong virtual realm or anyone else, they all have to surrender.

  "I am the first in history to reach this realm." Yu Huang sighed, "Reaching this realm, I have fully grasped the essence of the Nine States' vast land! I discovered that the energy of the Nine States is chaotic, so the mountains are rugged and the rivers overflow... So, I exhausted my mind and forged nine great tripods and the divine axe to open up the mountains, placing the nine great tripods at the source of the world's nine major energies!"

  Hong Qingshan's heart skipped a beat.

  Is there nine major energy sources in this world?

  "After the flood subsided, the overflowing of rivers slowed down and natural disasters decreased," Emperor Yu said. "However, I know... this can only calm things down temporarily. So, holding the axe that opens mountains, I chopped down mountain after mountain, while dredging the rivers and waterways of the world, dividing the world into nine major regions, thus creating the Nine Provinces."

  "When everything is clear, the world will return to peace. The Nine Tripods no longer need to suppress the source, however... these Nine Tripods have been merged with the world's energy origin and possess many mysterious abilities, but these abilities are not controlled by their owners." Emperor Yu said, "These Nine Tripods were cast together with my Mountain-Opening Divine Axe... only those who own the Nine States' Tripod can safely arrive here."

  Hong Qingshan finally understood, and at the same time admired Yu Huang. The scene before Yu Huang was still briefly described... The various tribes were in chaos, the world was killing each other non-stop, disasters [***] non-stop.

  Yu Huang's contributions will never be erased.

  "After saying so much, it's actually because I want to ask you for two favors." The virtual shadow revealed a hint of a smile. "These two things are actually simple. I don't know what the Yu Huang Gate has become after countless years have passed. If it has already disappeared, I hope you can find my descendants and take care of them slightly... I don't want my bloodline to be cut off."

  Hong Qingshan smiled, and it seemed that Yu Huang was one of those who attached great importance to bloodline.

  However, Yu Huangmen is very prosperous and obviously doesn't need to take care of itself.

  Yu Huang continued: "The second thing is that I don't just have the Yu Huang Gate lineage, but also another lineage!"
