203: Transformation essence, extraordinary immortal spirit

"I'm afraid of death, Your Excellency!"

Lonely in the Heavens shrank its head, speaking directly with some trepidation. After all, if it was afraid of death at that time, what else could it do but hide?

Seeing it say that, and not knowing what a lie was, it probably feared his strength.

That's good, it saves him the trouble of acting!

However, Ye Ming was still a bit helpless. This Lonely in the Heavens was born a wolf, and one of the top hundred Divine Beasts in the Immortal Realm, but its personality was too naive.

In front of him, it was like a husky. With those intelligent eyes, he wondered if it could be relied upon in a fight later... Forget it, he'll just let it undergo more trials in the future. For now, let it explore this world!

Ye Ming pondered for a moment, then waved to Lonely in the Heavens and said, "Come with me!"

With that, Ye Ming turned and took a step, with Lonely in the Heavens following close behind.

A moment later,

Above the large lake, Ye Ming's figure appeared in mid-air.

"Ah!"

A group of Immortal Spirits that had just gathered together discovered Ye Ming's sudden appearance, immediately showed expressions of fright, and scattered again, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Ye Ming ignored these little ones, instead staring intently at a certain spot above his head.

At this moment, Lonely in the Heavens' massive figure also appeared by the lake. It lowered its wolf head towards Ye Ming and mumbled:

"Your Excellency, a hundred thousand Immortal Beasts have gathered, awaiting your command!"

Behind it were countless Immortal Beasts of various kinds, along with dozens of Earth Immortal-grade Black Dragons mixed among them. They all looked at Ye Ming with awe.

Lonely in the Heavens had just been called by Ye Ming to gather all the Immortal Beasts in this mountain range, including those Ye Ming had encountered before, totaling one hundred thousand.

Most were of the Immortal grade, with only a few hundred of the Earth Immortal grade.

As for the Heavenly Immortal grade, it was the only one. It just didn't know why that person called so many Immortal Beasts here.

Although Lonely in the Heavens was puzzled, it was sensible enough not to ask further.

"Hmm, you all wait here until this Venerable One returns!"

Ye Ming did not turn around, still gazing upwards. After leaving a word, he tore through space and plunged in.

"Yes!"

Lonely in the Heavens responded, only to find that Ye Ming had already vanished.

On the other side.

Ye Ming arrived in a dark place. Directly ahead, at an unknown distance, was a bright spot.

With his strength, he could still see what was inside the bright spot.

It was an Immortal Realm, where many Immortal Spirits lived carefree lives.

And deeper within, there was an boundless starry sky, at the very center of which was a celestial body-like sphere.

The celestial body was immense, seemingly larger than the entire Heavenly Domain, emitting seven-colored divine Immortal Light, with various phenomena appearing both illusory and real.

"Essence shapeshifting..."

Ye Ming raised an eyebrow, not expecting the essence of this world to have shapeshifted!

The essences of other regions are usually formless and colorless, requiring one to rely on feeling to find them.

However, the essence of this Heavenly Domain had already shapeshifted, a very rare occurrence.

Not to mention the Immortal Realm, not a single one of the three thousand Spirit Domains had shapeshifted.

There's a significant difference between shapeshifted and non-shapeshifted; for example, a shapeshifted essence doesn't require a strenuous search and can be refined directly on the spot.

Moreover, shapeshifting automatically enhances its inherent quality!

In other words, this Heavenly Domain would grow automatically. Perhaps in a few thousand years, the quality of this Heavenly Domain would surpass the Universe.

At that time, the entire Universe would collapse due to being unable to withstand the high quality of the Heavenly Domain!

Thinking of this, Ye Ming's brows furrowed slightly, but soon relaxed.

After all, his plan only needed a little over a hundred years, and there was still plenty of time before the Heavenly Domain automatically upgraded.

Subsequently, Ye Ming gathered all his power at his feet and began to step forward in the darkness, walking towards the bright spot.

After an unknown amount of time.

Ye Ming suddenly stopped. Looking from afar, the bright spot was still at the end of the darkness, seemingly just an illusion, luring him.

It seems that he couldn't reach that place by relying on strength alone; he would have to try a different method!

After a deep glance at the bright spot, Ye Ming casually swiped to the side.

A spatial rift was torn open, and Ye Ming walked into the rift without looking back, disappearing into the darkness.

No sooner had Ye Ming left than the bright spot seemed to blink.

An inexplicable emotion spread in the darkness. The originally joyful and carefree Immortal Spirits also fell into silent weeping... until the darkness was opened again, and that emotion disappeared, and the Immortal Spirits returned to their joyful and carefree state, as if nothing had happened.

Ye Ming returned to the darkness, but he didn't notice anything unusual. However, a colorful ball of light appeared in his hand.

The ball of light was the size of a fist, containing hundreds of thousands of lifelike small Immortal Beasts in slumber, with a slightly larger black wolf cub lying in the center.

Indeed, this ball of light was the Origin of those Immortal Beasts outside, with a quarter of each Immortal Beast's Origin inside.

Lonely in the Heavens, this black wolf, was no exception; a small part of its Origin was taken by Ye Ming, and it howled in pain at the time.

Ye Ming compensated it with a mid-grade immortal pill to calm it down, while the other Immortal Beasts received two blood dragon immortal fruits.

Although the Immortal Fruits couldn't fully restore their Origin, they could advance their Bloodline further!

Furthermore, a lost Origin would recover in just a hundred years, so no Immortal Beast was dissatisfied.

Ye Ming tossed the ball of Origin in his hand. As soon as the Origin flew into mid-air, it exploded, transforming into a profound robe that Ye Ming put on.

Everything was ready!

Ye Ming stretched out his hands and clasped them, and the profound robe on his body immediately sparkled.

Colorful light suddenly illuminated the darkness, revealing an ancient and dilapidated path before him.

"Indeed... the Immortal Beasts living here are the keys to opening the path to the essence, it's just that a large number is needed!"

Ye Ming murmured in a low voice, his eyes gleaming as he looked at the ancient path.

Then, without hesitation, he stepped onto the path and walked along the illuminated road.

This time, the light had visibly grown larger.

After an unknown period, Ye Ming arrived before a towering gate, beyond which lay the Immortal Realm.

Ye Ming first eliminated all risks before walking through the gate.

A strong white light flashed, and when Ye Ming could see his surroundings clearly, he saw a group of Immortal Spirits creating an illusion before him.

That was... the Immortal Realm!

Ye Ming's expression changed. The Immortal Spirits had actually conjured a corner of the Immortal Realm!

Before him appeared a desolate land, but unlike the desolation on the ground, the sky was a human Immortal Realm.

A corner of a massive palace emerged from the clouds, with Immortal Light occasionally blooming, Immortals entering and exiting, all appearing peaceful and dreamlike.

However, the scene shifted, and a figure suddenly appeared in this desolate land. The figure was enveloped in Immortal Light, making its appearance unclear.

When the figure descended, it brought countless Immortal Qi, also bringing endless vitality to the entire desolate land.

In the blink of an eye, countless vibrant green seedlings emerged from the soil, and in a short time, transformed from seedlings into towering trees.
