468: Chapter 468 Things are so easy now, I don't have to do any work.

After a deep conversation with the System Loli, Cao Yang finally gained a clearer understanding of the Hongmeng Divine Eye. As it turned out, the Hongmeng Divine Eye was not some mysterious treasure or ability, but rather a manifestation of a Cultivator's own Karma Tribulation Force.

This Karma Tribulation Force can only be gradually nurtured by Cultivators in the Transcendence Realm. The reason Cao Yang was able to possess the Hongmeng Divine Eye was primarily because the Rank of the Cultivation Technique he practiced was extremely high, already surpassing the scope of the Heavenly Dao. However, even though his Cultivation Technique transcended the Heavenly Dao, the karmic relationships between him and the people and events related to him still existed.

Furthermore, the essence of Chaos is different from the Heavenly Dao. Although Cao Yang's Cultivation Technique transcended any Heavenly Dao, it had not transcended Chaos. Therefore, all of his Karma Tribulation Force converged at the chaos level. Only when he broke through to the Hongmeng Divine Heart Tribulation Realm and completely transcended Chaos would his Hongmeng Divine Eye suddenly awaken.

According to the System's description, under normal circumstances, an ordinary person's Hongmeng Divine Eye does not suddenly appear upon breaking through a major Realm like Cao Yang's did. Instead, when they step into the Hongmeng Divine Thunder Realm, having just transcended the Chaos World and broken through to the Transcendence Realm, the tribulation force within the Hongmeng Divine Eye has already begun to gradually form.

During this stage, tribulation force slowly breeds within the Cultivator's body; it is a gradual process. Since the tribulation force within the Hongmeng Divine Eye requires a certain amount of time to accumulate, this process is invisible, and the amount of tribulation force increases continuously without one even noticing.

However, it is precisely because this process takes time that the chaos consciousness has the Opportunity to intervene and attempt to prevent the formation of the Cultivator's Hongmeng Divine Eye. Although the Cultivator's Hongmeng Divine Eye will not ultimately fail to be born due to the interference of the chaos consciousness, its quality will be greatly diminished because of the obstruction.

In contrast, Cao Yang's Hongmeng Divine Eye never experienced interference from the chaos consciousness, so it could be said to be the most perfect and powerful existence among Hongmeng Divine Eyes. This undisturbed Hongmeng Divine Eye undoubtedly possesses higher quality and potential, allowing it to exert even more exceptional abilities in both cultivation and combat.

The tribulation force within each person's Hongmeng Divine Eye has unique properties, differing not only in quality and quantity but even in type. However, since the types of tribulation force are relatively limited, many people may share the same type.

The tribulation force within Cao Yang's Hongmeng Divine Eye belongs to the yin tribulation power. This was no accident but was closely related to his experiences. Since setting foot on the Heavenly Mysterious Great Path, Cao Yang had generated many karmic ties with Fairies. The intertwining of these karmic threads allowed his Hongmeng Divine Eye to nurture the yin tribulation power.

It is worth mentioning that while the Supreme Cultivation Technique Cao Yang practiced played a certain role in the formation of the yin tribulation power, in reality, the connection between his yin tribulation power and the technique was not significant. The true function of this Supreme Cultivation Technique lay in protecting the yin tribulation power, shielding it from being weakened by the chaos consciousness. Because of this, Cao Yang's Hongmeng Divine Eye was ultimately presented perfectly.

It must be emphasized that yin tribulation power itself is not inherently more powerful than other types of tribulation force. Every kind of tribulation force has its own unique strengths, and it is difficult to simply judge which is superior. Each demonstrates its unique power in different situations and conditions, so under normal circumstances, it is hard to directly compare their strength.

Through his exchange with the System Loli, Cao Yang gained a deeper understanding of the Transcendence Realm. He learned that the Transcendence Realm does not mean being completely beyond Chaos, but rather that the Cultivator can break free from the shackles of Chaos and possesses the ability to forcibly erase Karma related to Chaos.

However, such an approach is not beneficial for the cultivation of Karma. True transcendence should involve safely taking away one's own Karma related to Chaos in the form of tribulation force; only then can true transcendence be achieved, which is also most beneficial for one's future cultivation.

It is like transforming a Sun Stone that originally blocked the way forward into a Sun Divine Sword to continue using for oneself. In the early stages of a Cultivator's growth, the Sun Stone provides the necessary energy, but in the Late Stage, the Sun Stone itself becomes an obstacle to further progress.

At this time, the wisest choice for a Cultivator is not to kick the Sun Stone away or even try to destroy or smash it, but to find another way to enhance their own power and continuously grow stronger. When one's own power finally surpasses the Sun Stone, one can directly modify the Sun Stone so that it continues to serve them.

In the flash of a thought, ten even more powerful Hongmeng Clones emerged from Cao Yang's body one after another like ghosts.

As soon as these ten Hongmeng Clones appeared, they emitted a heart-palpitating aura, as if the entire space were trembling because of them.

Cao Yang gazed at his ten Hongmeng Clones, a flash of satisfaction in his eyes. He nodded slightly and said softly, "Hmm, not bad. These ten Hongmeng Clones possess at least thirty percent of my strength!"

The "thirty percent strength" here did not refer to Cao Yang's Realm, but to his actual combat power. Although Cao Yang's Realm was only the Hongmeng Divine Heart Tribulation Realm, his true strength had already reached the Hongmeng Divine Lord Realm. Therefore, the thirty percent strength he spoke of was actually thirty percent of the strength of the Hongmeng Divine Lord Realm.

This meant that any single Hongmeng Clone before Cao Yang possessed the terrifying strength to easily kill any Cultivator in the Hongmeng Divine Heart Tribulation Realm. Just like the middle-aged man from the Cao Family City who had spoken with Cao Yang before—had it not been for the great distance, he would have had no power to resist before these Hongmeng Clones and would have been killed instantly.

However, although killing a Cultivator in the Hongmeng Realm is no easy task, it did not mean Cao Yang was helpless. While his main body could not completely erase a Cultivator in the Hongmeng Divine Heart Tribulation Realm, it did not mean he lacked other means.

One must know that the strength of a Hongmeng Realm Cultivator is extremely formidable. Even against a Cultivator in the Hongmeng Divine Thunder Realm who had just broken through to the Hongmeng Realm, it would be difficult for Cao Yang to thoroughly annihilate them. Unless he used the power of the Invincible Domain, it was almost impossible to make such experts truly fall.

It could be said that only experts who have reached the Hongmeng God Venerable Realm and Hongmeng God Emperor Realm are capable of making low-level Hongmeng Realm Cultivators completely perish. After all, the strength of a Hongmeng Realm Cultivator has far surpassed that of ordinary Cultivators; their vitality and recovery abilities are exceptionally powerful, making them hard to defeat easily.

However, even if he couldn't make a Hongmeng Realm Cultivator fall completely, Cao Yang would not be without gains. While killing a Hongmeng Realm Cultivator wouldn't make them truly die, it could force them into Reincarnation. And if one set up obstacles on the opponent's path of Reincarnation, it would become exceptionally difficult for them to return to their previous Realm.

Of course, this didn't mean the opponent would have no chance at all to rise again. After all, the path of cultivation is full of countless unknowns and variables. Perhaps the opponent would encounter some unimaginable Opportunity, thereby breaking through the predicament and returning to their Peak. But such a possibility was minuscule, requiring immense luck and Opportunity.

Cao Yang pondered for a moment, then his gaze swept over the ten Hongmeng Clones before him as he said in a deep voice:

"Listen up. One of you will go now to preach the Dao to the Chaos Emperor Realm Cultivators who have come to the Hongmeng Heavenly Court. From now on, continue preaching until my secluded cultivation ends. If anyone still hasn't made it to this preaching assembly by then and fails to hear the Hongmeng Breakthrough Scripture I impart, it means they have no further affinity with breaking through to the Transcendence Realm, and they should be sent back where they came from. However, the Fortune Daughters they brought must stay. If they refuse, send them directly into Reincarnation!"

His voice was cold and majestic, as if brook no question.

The ten Hongmeng Clones responded in unison, "Yes, Original Body! We will not fail our mission and guarantee the task's completion!"

One of the Hongmeng Clones stepped forward, bowed respectfully to Cao Yang, and then said slowly, "Rest assured, Original Body. We will surely convey your will to every Chaos Emperor Realm Cultivator, doing our best to ensure no one misses this rare Opportunity, and we certainly won't let the Fortune Daughters leave once they've arrived."

After speaking, the figure of this Hongmeng Clone gradually blurred and finally vanished completely before Cao Yang, as if he had never appeared.

Cao Yang completely ignored the vanished Hongmeng Clone. His gaze, like lightning, quickly swept over the remaining nine Hongmeng Clones. His voice was low and powerful, seemingly containing infinite majesty that made people feel instinctive awe.

"Among you, three need to go and collect the Fortune Daughters in this Chaos World who did not come to hear my preaching."

Cao Yang's words were concise and clear, without the slightest hesitation.

"Remember, I want those whose Realm is above the Chaos Supreme Realm and who possess Chaos Fortune. Of course, if the other party is exceptionally beautiful, they can be brought along as well.

However, you must remember that before taking action, you must ask for the other party's consent. If they truly are unwilling, do not force them; just let them go. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Original Body!" the nine Hongmeng Clones responded in unison, their voices perfectly synchronized, echoing through the Heavenly Emperor Hall like thunder.

Immediately after, another three Hongmeng Clones stepped out from the group.

Their steps were steady, each one seemingly treading upon the Void Realm, revealing an otherworldly temperament.

The figures of these three Hongmeng Clones were like phantoms, vanishing from the Heavenly Emperor Hall in the blink of an eye, as if they had never existed.

Cao Yang watched the direction in which they departed, his heart full of confidence.

He believed that with the strength of these three Hongmeng Clones, who were at or above the Hongmeng Divine Heart Tribulation Realm, they would surely be able to find all the qualified Fortune Daughters in the Chaos World within a short time.

After all, the Hongmeng Clones also possessed the Hongmeng Divine Eye. Although its power was only one-third of his original body's Hongmeng Divine Eye, it was more than enough for use within a single Chaos World.

"The six of you, go and bring all the Fortune Daughters who have already arrived at the Hongmeng Heavenly Court, or those who are still on their way because they heard about it, to the Heavenly Emperor Hall." Cao Yang looked at the remaining six Hongmeng Clones with a solemn expression and gave his orders in a serious tone.

These six Hongmeng Clones seemed long accustomed to Cao Yang's commands and responded in unison, "Yes, Original Body!" Before their voices faded, their figures dissipated like mist, instantly vanishing from the Heavenly Emperor Hall as if they had never been there.

Cao Yang looked at the empty Heavenly Emperor Hall, remained silent for a short while, and then suddenly seemed to remember something, calling out, "You six, wait a moment!" However, his voice echoed in the vast hall without receiving any response.

Cao Yang frowned and thought to himself, "These guys are really fast." But he soon shook his head and muttered, "Well, that's fine too; it saves me the breath."

After a bit of thought, Cao Yang spoke again, "How about this: I want to discuss the Dao with Revered Master and the others. You guys arrange for those Fortune Daughters to stay in the Reception Pavilion of the Hongmeng Heavenly Court first. Once I've finished discussing the Dao with Revered Master and the others, the six of you can bring those Fortune Daughters to the Heavenly Emperor Hall!"

This time, Cao Yang's voice echoed in the Heavenly Emperor Hall for a long time. Finally, the voices of the six Hongmeng Clones came from all directions: "Yes, Original Body, we guarantee the task's completion!"

As the voices fell, the figures of the six Hongmeng Clones quietly appeared in the Heavenly Emperor Hall like ghosts. However, their figures appeared somewhat blurred, as if they were merely illusory existences, making it hard to see their true forms.

"Wow! This is so great!" Cao Yang shouted excitedly, his face overflowing with an indescribable joy.

He lamented, "Now I can have even more Hongmeng Clones. In the future, I won't have to step out personally for many things!"

With that, Cao Yang walked toward the spacious large bed with a heart full of delight and then flopped down heavily like a puddle of mud with a "thud." This one lie-down seemed to make all the pressure on his body vanish instantly, making him feel incredibly relaxed and comfortable.

Then, with a wave of Cao Yang's arm, as if by magic, Revered Master Ouyang Liuli and many other women appeared in the Heavenly Emperor Hall in the blink of an eye like phantoms.

It had been a long time since Cao Yang had discussed the principles of the Dao with Revered Master and the others. Now that they were reunited, his heart was naturally filled with extraordinary joy. The moment the women saw Cao Yang, they all rushed forward like birds returning to a forest, surrounding him tightly in the center.

After all, they hadn't seen Cao Yang for a long time, and their feelings of longing for him were beyond words. Cao Yang had been busy attending to the newly joined sisters during this period, to the point of neglecting them, which made their yearning for him grow even more intense.

After the Hongmeng Clone responsible for preaching communicated and gave instructions to the First Ancestor of the Golden Crow Clan, he began preaching in the Sword Arena that the Chaos Golden Crow Clan had already prepared.

As time passed, more and more Chaos Emperor Realm experts came to the arena to listen.

The reason why only Chaos Emperor Realm experts were at the preaching arena was that Cultivators below the Chaos Emperor Realm were unable to hear the preaching of Cao Yang's Hongmeng Clone. After all, regarding the Dao of the Transcendence Realm, if Cultivators with a Realm lower than the Chaos Emperor Realm heard it, they would be heavily injured at best or perish at worst.

Beautiful singing once again echoed in the Heavenly Emperor Hall. The singing was graceful and loud; listening closely, it was clearly many women singing, and among them were traces of joyful cries that sounded like pain.
