Perfection: He is the Heavenly Emperor, I am the Eastern Emperor!

Chapter 17 The Realm of the Void Gods

Besides these, Shi An also unexpectedly discovered a very important point: when the six caves operated simultaneously, they actually generated a wonderful resonance.

This resonance not only boosted his strength dramatically in a short period of time, but also gave him a faint sense of fusion, as if the Six Cave Heavens were originally one entity.

But in the end, whether it was because something was missing or something else, this fusion did not continue. After struggling for a while, they returned to their original places.

Although the fusion was unsuccessful, the experience still delighted Shi An, because if he was not mistaken, this phenomenon was likely due to the Ancestral Witches, and the special connection between the Ancestral Witches—the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation!

Thinking of this, Shi An couldn't help but feel excited, because it meant that he might very well set a new record in the Cave Heaven Realm that was unprecedented and would never be repeated—the Twelve Cave Heavens!

But he quickly calmed down, because even with the help of the blood of the Ancestral Witch, opening up the Twelve Heavenly Caves was not easy, and the hope was even slim.

As you can see, even Shi Hao, who was born to face calamity, could only open up to the eleventh grotto-heaven at most—the physical grotto-heaven!

"So what should we do?"

Thinking about it, Shi An couldn't help but lower his head and fall into deep thought.

At the same time, seeing Shi An's appearance, Liu Shen couldn't help but ask with some curiosity, "Have you encountered difficulties in your cultivation?"

Upon hearing Liu Shen's voice, Shi An's eyes suddenly lit up. Since he couldn't think of a solution, why not ask Liu Shen for help? Perhaps she had a solution!

Without hesitation, Shi An immediately looked up and asked her, "Goddess Liu, do you think anyone can create twelve grotto-heavens within the Grotto-Heaven Realm?"

"The Twelve Grotto-Heavens?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Shen was taken aback, and then gently swayed her willow branches, saying, "As far as I know, from ancient times to the present, no one has ever opened up twelve grotto heavens. Even eleven grotto heavens have only been opened up by a handful of people, and they all eventually stopped outside the path of immortality."

"This is because they all regard their physical bodies as the eleventh grotto-heaven, and follow the method of using the body as a seed, a method whose difficulty is unparalleled throughout history. As for the twelfth grotto-heaven..."

"Let alone a successful breakthrough, this is the first time I've heard it from you."

"I see..."

Seeing that Liu Shendu had never heard of anyone being able to open up the twelfth grotto-heaven, Shi An couldn't help but feel somewhat discouraged.

Considering that the God of Willow has never heard of the Twelve Grottoes throughout the long ages since the time of the immortals, one can understand how difficult it is to find the Twelve Grottoes.

"but·······"

However, just as Shi An was feeling dejected, Liu Shen suddenly changed the subject and said, "If it were you, it wouldn't be impossible."

"The secret within you is something I have never seen before, and the vastness of its energy is also extraordinary. It may very well be able to create something unprecedented in history."

"Too."

Liu Shen's words swept away the gloom in Shi An's heart, and his eyes regained a firm light.

Yes, he was different from the people of this world. He not only possessed the blood of the Ancestral Witch, but also the innate treasure, the Chaos Bell!

Why can't we break the rules of this world and forge a path that no one has ever walked before!

"good!"

Seeing that Shi An had emerged from his gloom so quickly, Liu Shen couldn't help but nod in approval. Then she said again, "However, opening up the Twelve Grotto Heavens will be extremely difficult. Simply cultivating hard or fighting with ferocious birds and beasts won't be very meaningful."

"I think you've noticed that in the past six months, the pressure you feel when facing those ferocious birds and beasts has significantly decreased, and many of them are no match for you."

"If this continues, let alone opening up twelve grotto-heavens, we might not even be able to open up ten grotto-heavens."

Upon hearing this, Shi An's expression immediately hardened, for what Liu Shen said was true.

Over this period of time, as his strength has increased, those ferocious birds and beasts that used to pose a threat to him have indeed become vulnerable. If he continues with this method of cultivation, let alone the Twelve Heavens, even the Ten Heavens might be a pipe dream.

Having figured this out, Shi An looked at Liu Shen again and said, "In that case, how should I cultivate in the future to fully unleash the potential within my body?"

No sooner had Shi An finished speaking than Liu Shen's voice rang out again: "The path of cultivation is like rowing against the current; if you don't advance, you fall behind."

"You need to find opponents or trials that make you feel a sense of life and death, that can truly unleash the potential within you. Only in this way can you forge an unprecedented path."

"And the Realm of the Void Gods is such a place."

"The Realm of the Illusory Gods?!"

Upon hearing these three words, Shi An's heart stirred; he remembered this place.

According to the original work, this is a strange world constructed by powerful beings from the upper realm using their spiritual perceptions, a virtual battlefield for future generations to hone their spirits, break through extreme limits, and grow rapidly.

But Shi An knew that this illusory god realm was actually a dark prison.

During the ancient war, some renowned immortal kings sided with darkness and joined forces with the alien realm to attack the immortal realm.

The numerous Immortal Kings and powerful figures of the Immortal Realm united to suppress these Dark Immortal Kings, but in the end, out of consideration for their previous achievements, they could not bear to kill them. Instead, they locked their primordial spirits, petrified them, and suppressed them in the Void God Realm.

Among these celestial kings and giants was Liu Shen.

Of course, Liu Shen didn't know that Shi An knew these things. When she saw Shi An in a daze, she thought he had never heard of the Void God Realm, so she couldn't help but explain: "That is a strange world built by ancient gods working together and sharing their spiritual thoughts."

"Those powerful individuals within the ancient kingdoms can also enter the Void God Realm to cultivate through spiritual perception."

After Liu Shen finished speaking, Shi An came to his senses and asked, "Then, how do we get to this Realm of the Illusory Gods?"

As soon as Shi An finished speaking, Liu Shen's voice rang out again: "If you have nothing else to attend to, you can go anytime."

Upon hearing Liu Shen say that they could enter the Void God Realm at any time, Shi An immediately said impatiently, "I'm ready, and we can set off anytime."

"In that case, let's begin our journey to the heavens!"

Seeing that Shi An was so impatient, Liu Shen didn't say anything more and immediately used her supernatural powers.

Suddenly, the last remaining willow branches on its body swelled up, transforming into dazzling chains of divine order that surged upwards.

"boom!"

The emerald glow was intense, and the entire world seemed to be gently swept by an invisible giant hand, instantly covering it with a layer of dreamy, emerald-green light.

Those magnificent willow branches, like an indestructible divine spear, pierced straight through the vast sky, forcefully opening a mysterious portal containing endless laws and mysteries!

Inside the portal, a misty haze swirled like a veil, making everything appear hazy and ethereal, as if concealing countless untold secrets, mysterious and profound, compelling one to explore further.

"Buzz!"

Then, with a slight tremor, Shi An suddenly felt as if he had been lifted up from the ground, gradually approaching the misty portal.

Soon, Shi An passed through the portal and entered a strange world.
