Chapter 404: Chapter 211: Spirit Realm’s Immortal Strife Era, Four Steps and Eight Realms of Immortal Ascension

This sentence contains too many meanings.

Ning Qi had some vague doubts before. The remaining people in the Martial Realm were able to so quickly explore Dharma Methods related to world consciousness, which seemed a bit too fast. Now it seems somewhat understandable, as many thoughts began to emerge in his mind.

Before Ning Qi could think further.

The old Profound Turtle continued: ”With your Martial Realm’s foundation, trying to revive the world consciousness is too difficult.”

Ning Qi’s eyes instantly sharpened: ”Your Martial Realm?”

He seized on the key words.

The old Profound Turtle chuckled and said: ”That’s right, strictly speaking, although I’ve lived in the Martial Realm for so long, I’m not from your Martial Realm. Let me formally introduce myself, I come from the True Martial Realm, and am the heir of the True Martial Immortal Sect’s fire seed.”

Ning Qi’s breathing unknowingly stalled.

All confusions suddenly became clear.

No wonder he always felt that the True Martial Hall was somewhat out of this world, even somewhat incompatible with the Martial Realm. Everything he saw and heard in the True Martial Hall did not seem to belong to the Martial Realm. It turns out it came from another realm. ”The True Martial Realm, is it an Upper Realm like the Mountain and Sea Realm?” Ning Qi asked.

The old Profound Turtle’s gaze held a sense of melancholy: ”That’s right, but to be precise, the True Martial Realm and the Mountain and Sea Realm are Spirit Realms with perfected world rules, while your Martial Realm is a small world with incomplete rules. The Mountain and Sea World is your Upper Realm, but the True Martial Realm is not your Upper Realm.”

Such a short sentence contained far too much information.

Ning Qi only felt that the world suddenly broadened, realizing the world he lived in was just a small world?

His mind was turbulent, quietly waiting for the old Profound Turtle’s explanation.

The old Profound Turtle continued: ”The Sea of Realms is so vast that no one can know. Countless Spirit Realms float within it, their numbers immense. The rules of Spirit Realms are complete, with cultivators as numerous as clouds. The strongest can defy the heavens and ascend to immortality. Below each Spirit Realm are unknown numbers of small worlds, each with varying degrees of imperfect rules. Once they reach their limit, they can break through the world and ascend, reaching the corresponding Upper Realm.”

Ning Qi’s eyes suddenly brightened. ”Immortal?! Is there an even stronger world above the Spirit Realm?”

His pursuit of immortality now seemed to unveil a long scroll of immortality before his eyes, making him involuntarily excited.

The old Profound Turtle’s eyes also held a longing: ”Immortal Realm! Above the Spirit Realm is named the Immortal Realm. The goal of countless Spirit Realm cultivators is to ascend to the Immortal Realm and achieve the status of a True Immortal! But...”

He changed his tone, regretting: ”Unknown epochs ago, the Immortal Realm already became lost, and from then on, no one has ascended to immortality.”

Saying this, he added another explanation: ”An epoch is one million years.”

Ning Qi remained silent.

One million years, what an eternity, the ancient saints of the Martial Realm have schemes that only span tens of thousands of years. In front of an epoch, it seems so short, and the Immortal Realm that was lost countless epochs ago, what a truly immortal existence it is.

He felt a craving in his heart, as well as regret: ”Immortal Realm... why did it become lost?”

The old Profound Turtle clicked his tongue and said: ”No one knows. Perhaps only a very few truly formidable ancient creatures from epochs might know a little. After the Immortal Realm became lost, the Flying Immortal Era came to an end, followed by...” ”The Spirit Realm Contending for Immortality Era!”

Ning Qi’s spirit was shaken.

No matter how good the Immortal Realm is, it still seemed distant to him now. The immediate concern was the threat of the Mountain and Sea Realm. He had a feeling that the Spirit Realm Contending for Immortality Era was related to the current situation of the Martial Realm.

A few short words made him feel the taste of bloody conflict.

The old Profound Turtle sighed and said: ”With the Immortal Realm lost, no one can become a True Immortal anymore. Even the strongest can at most live past one epoch. For us, one epoch is naturally extremely long, but for those great powers with the ambition to become immortals, a hopeless future is more painful than death.” ”But ultimately, someone came up with a way, which is to raise the world’s limit. If the Spirit Realm can’t accommodate a True Immortal, then increase the Spirit Realm’s limit until it can accommodate a True Immortal or even stronger! There might even be a day when it becomes another supreme Immortal Realm!” ”And how to raise the world’s limit?” ”That would be by devouring the origins of other worlds!”

Ning Qi’s expression gradually calmed.

Devouring the world’s origins sounds simple, but it’s surely accompanied by countless slaughter. This is the invasion of worlds. He understood now; this is the fundamental reason for the Mountain and Sea Realm’s invasion of the Martial Realm. They want to devour the origins of the Martial Realm; to them, the native people of the Martial Realm are as insignificant as ants.

It’s not about right or wrong.

It’s just the law of the jungle.

Ning Qi frowned and said: ”How much can the origins of a small world like the Martial Realm help in raising the Spirit Realm’s limit?”

Although he didn’t know how much stronger the Spirit Realm is compared to a small world, he estimated the gap wouldn’t be small. The Heaven-Slaying Martial Saint once said that outside the Martial Realm’s sky are strong beings even more terrifying than the Martial Realm’s world consciousness.

The old Profound Turtle chuckled: ”Even the smallest mosquito meat is still meat. Quantitative changes can lead to qualitative change. After all, trying to devour other Spirit Realms isn’t easy. Not to mention whether you can find the world’s coordinates, even if you find them, who is stronger is uncertain; a single misstep could overturn the boat.” ”And devouring Lower Realms is much easier. Ascenders from the Lower Realms come with coordinates, and then you release Life Poison and wait to harvest. It doesn’t take much time, and you can simultaneously set up in many Lower Realms, very safe and efficient.”

There was a hint of mockery in his laughter.
