The two jade carvings were all red as though there was blazing flame inside, and yet, they were also lifelike, like two living creatures. However, there was a slightly invisible grey imprint on each head of the two jade carvings. Fortunately, Tang Xiu had sharp eyes and he could catch it. He wouldn’t have been able to do so with the naked eye if he were an average person.

Miao Wentang, in fear that Tang Xiu couldn’t tell the good quality of these two objects, hastily explained, “Brother Tang, these two jade carvings are the most precious treasures of my family and have been passed down for generations. Legend has it that this jade carving is part of a set of twelve pieces, each shaped according to the twelve zodiac signs. Although my family cannot figure out the mystery of this jade carving, it’s been documented in my family’s historic records that whoever can get ahold of the whole set of the twelve jade zodiac signs, he can reveal a certain secret and obtain enormous benefits.”

Tang Xiu’s expression at this time, however, was very solemn and his eyes were fixated at the dragon and tiger jade carvings. He picked them up and was especially careful in holding them separately.

There was energy contained within them. The torrential energy was the most colossal energy contained within an object Tang Xiu had ever encountered on Earth. If the Qin Emperor Imperial Jade Seal contained energy that was as vast as the ocean, then each of these jade carvings contained the energy of countless stars!

If… if there was someone who could detonate this jade carving, Tang Xiu was absolutely sure that it wouldn’t only be able to destroy Earth, but even a hundred Earth would be blown into smithereens.

Tang Xiu cautiously seeped his Primal Chaos Force into the jade dragon, yet he felt like his power was like a fish in the water and was not rejected in the slightest. But after he moved his injected power into the gray imprint in the head of the jade dragon, his body suddenly shook and all of his consciousness was sucked inside—no… accurately speaking… it was sucked into the gray imprint.

It was a sea of stars in the vast universe.

Tang Xiu suddenly found himself standing in this vast universe. Countless stars revolved around him everywhere, while a series of golden lines connected the boundless stars together to form a three-dimensional celestial map filled with infinite mystery.

‘These golden threads are…’

Tang Xiu’s lips trembled and his eyes turned fiery. For cultivators on Earth, they wouldn’t be able to recognize these golden threads, but he was able to do so since he had once used these golden lines like an arm directing their fingers.

These lines were… the Heavenly Dao trajectory—the route of Heavenly Dao in Earth’s plane.

‘Who exactly did this? Who could possibly possess such a terrifying ability to imprint this plane’s Heavenly Dao trajectory onto these jade carvings? Not even I can do it. Even when I was still a Supreme in the Immortal World and possessed the might to tear the earth and sky asunder, I wouldn’t have been able to achieve this. Unless… unless it was done by someone who has reached divinity and has broken through the shackles of the Immortal World to ascend to a higher plane—to reach Godhood?

‘But then… does that mean that there was once a real Divinity on Earth? If this God was not a native of the plane, it would be impossible to imprint the Heavenly Dao trajectory of this plane onto these jade carvings at all. Those who have reached Godhood from other planes may all be extremely powerful and terrifying, but they can only destroy the plane world, never able to control the Heavenly Dao laws of the world.

‘Destroying it is very easy, but controlling it is very difficult.’

Suddenly, Tang Xiu felt pained like there was a needle pricking his brain. It caused his consciousness to be driven out from that particular space instantly. Not only did he spray out a mouthful of blood at this moment, but his blood also flowed out of his eyes, even his nostrils.

“Brother Tang!” Miao Wentang’s face drastically turned shocked and he hurriedly called out.

Tang Xiu composed his mind back, shook his head and said, “I’m fine. It’s just a backlash. Brother Miao, these two jade carvings are truly precious, so precious that even those who have been cultivating for thousands of years will find them very difficult to control. I won’t hide anything from you. Those who have ascended to the Immortal World, or even the true Perfected Golden Immortal, won’t be able to control them. Unless…”

“Unless what?” asked Miao Wentang quickly.

“Unless you can reach a Supremacy stage in the Immortal World; only then will you barely be able to control them,” said Tang Xiu in a line. “Also, if my guess I correct, once one collects the entire set of twelve and can control them completely, these objects will be able to aid the Immortal World’s Supreme to pass through the Heavenly Tribulation smoothly, breaking through the shackles of the Immortal World and ascend to the Gods Realm.”

“Hiss…”

Miao Wentang gasped as ‘Immortal’ was very far away for him. More so the Supremacy stage and the Gods Realm. They were all out of his comprehension.

“Brother Tang, do the Immortal World and the Gods Realm really exist?” asked Miao Wentang prudently.

Tang Xiu shot him a deep look and solemnly nodded, “I don’t want to hide them from you anymore now. There are indeed other higher planes aside from the plane our Earth is located on, such as the Immortal World, Buddhist Realm, Demon Realm, Monster Realm, Specter Realm, Spirit Realm, and so on. But above these realms is the Gods Realm, which has myriads of races of monsters, demons, ghosts, immortals, buddhas, and saints.

“Let me tell you one thing. If our Earth plane is just a grain of sand, then the Immortal World is the Milky Way, while the Gods Realm is the vast and boundless universe.”

Miao Wentang trembled and gasped as he asked, “Can you tell me something, Brother Tang? How do you know all of this?”

“It’s inconvenient to tell you for now, but give me some time.” Tang Xiu shook his head and said, “I’ll naturally tell you once I shatter the void and ascend to the Immortal World one day.”

Breaking the void and ascending to the Immortal World?
