I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1031: Chapter 565 Heavenly Sovereign Merging Path_2 Chapter 1031: Chapter 565 Heavenly Sovereign Merging Path_2 “Okay!”

After weighing the situation, Chen Mobai confirmed that the information he could gain from her was more valuable than her life and made a contract with her.

“Now, you can speak.”

“Where would the Saint Heir like to start hearing from?”

“Start from the Earth Departing Flame Light Escape. This escape skill should not be known by anyone in the Eastern Wilderness.”

Chen Mobai did not forget his initial confusion and brought the topic back to the beginning.

“Report to the Saint Heir, in my past life I was actually a member of the Longevity Sect, one of the candidates for the sixth generation’s Saintess.”

“Unfortunately, with only average cultivation level and talent, I was eliminated in the third round, and in the end, I only managed to reach Perfect Core Formation, failing at ‘Nascent Soul Formation’ and passing away in meditation.”

“Before I passed away, I used the sect’s secret technique to dissolve my corpse, turning into an unconscious lonely soul that entered the Yin World. After wandering in the underworld for who knows how long, I finally regained some memories from my past life. Then I began to slowly cultivate, both improving myself and regaining my memory.”

“More than two hundred years ago, a mysterious cultivator intruded into the Yin World and disturbed the Ghost Emperor sleeping in the deepest part of the underworld. They fought fiercely, tearing through the barrier between Yin and Yang, creating a passageway through the Yellow Springs Path that connected the worlds that should never have crossed.”

“It was during that time that I came to the Eastern Wilderness and cultivated a female cultivator from the Guiyuan Mountain as a Ghost Fetus in the Womb using the Art of Rebirth in the Underworld and have been hiding until now.”

Elder Ming’s candid words greatly surprised Chen Mobai.

Her past life was actually a member of the Longevity Sect?

What shocked him even more was the origin of the Yellow Springs Path revealed in her words.

It was actually created when a mysterious cultivator forced his way into the Yin World and clashed with the Ghost Emperor.

Was it Ancestor Hunyuan?

But the timeline doesn’t quite match up!

Chen Mobai pondered, temporarily pressing this question down, and started to ask Elder Ming another question.

“Since you were a member of the Longevity Sect, and have been in the Eastern Wilderness for over two hundred years, you must know that the Longevity Sect has disappeared from the annals of history. Do you know why such a grand sect would suddenly vanish without a trace?”

Inside the Divine Tree Secret Realm, among the three Divine Trees, are contained the inheritance and treasures of the Longevity Sect. If he could make all of these his own, Chen Mobai was confident that he could develop the strength of the Divine Wood Sect in a short time. Then, his grand plan to unify the Eastern Wilderness could be implemented earlier.

But the key to using these was how to deal with the most mysterious Great Dao Tree!

And whether the spirit of the Heavenly Sovereign still existed within it?

Now encountering an actual member of the Longevity Sect, naturally, Chen Mobai wanted to inquire thoroughly.

“With your identity as the Saint Heir, you don’t know about this matter?”

However, after listening, Elder Ming turned around and asked him.

“I became the Saint Heir only because the sect still had the Divine Tree Secret Realm that True Lord Yuan had altered. After Foundation Establishment, I easily took twelve steps in front of the Great Dao Tree…”

Chen Mobai had not sworn an oath of authenticity to Elder Ming, so he simplified the process of how he became the Saint Heir in front of the Great Dao Tree a bit.

“Just at Foundation Establishment and able to take twelve steps in front of the Great Dao Tree, the Saint Heir’s talent, even in the history of our sect spanning tens of thousands of years, would be ranked in the top three.”

Elder Ming, who was unaware that Chen Mobai had tried several times after Foundation Establishment to achieve this result and thought he did it in one go, couldn’t help but express her admiration, knowing full well the difficulties of the Longevity’s trials.

“Only the third?”

Chen Mobai was somewhat surprised, he had fully expected the embellished version of his achievement to be enough to top the Longevity Sect’s charts throughout the ages.

But to think that there were others more extraordinary than he!

Foundation Establishment followed by directly taking thirteen steps?

Being possessed by the spirit of the Heavenly Sovereign on the spot?

“From my memories before passing away, aside from the first Saint Heir and the fourth Saintess, your achievement is the best,” she said.

When Elder Ming joined the Longevity Sect, the sect was at its peak. However, as she passed away in meditation later on, the records concerning the Longevity Sect also vanished overnight along with the disappearance of all the high-ranking cultivators within the sect, so her understanding was quite limited.

“Hmm, so as the Saint Heir, I’ve only inherited a secret realm and the legacy of the Longevity Sect. I certainly don’t know as much about this ancient sect as you do,” Chen Mobai had no intention of hiding the truth and spoke candidly.

“Regarding the overnight disappearance of the higher echelons of my sect, I’ve always had a suspicion, but I dare not assert its correctness.”

“Oh? What is your conjecture?”

To save her life, Elder Ming had signed a Dao heart contract. Faced with Chen Mobai’s question, she could only reveal a thought that had been hidden in her heart for hundreds of years.

“I fear that the Heavenly Sovereign has merged paths!”

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai appeared puzzled.

“The Heavenly Sovereign has merged paths? What does that mean?”

He had some understanding of the Heavenly Sovereign, who was the supreme being worshipped by the Longevity Sect.

But merging paths…

“It’s like this, Saint Heir,” Elder Ming faced Chen Mobai’s question and had no choice but to share what she knew, “The Tianhe Realm is now somewhat depleted of spiritual energy, so the highest one can cultivate to is the Perfection of Spirit Transmutation, beyond which one must ascend to progress further.”

“But in the earliest days of creation, it was possible to cultivate to the Merging Dao Realm. The Heavenly Sovereign is one of the oldest beings in the Tianhe Realm, and when worshipped by the Longevity Sect, was the existence closest to the Merging Path in this realm.”

“The doctrine established by the Longevity Sect was to worship the Heavenly Sovereign so he could merge paths, and then lead everyone in the sect to ascend together.”

After listening to Elder Ming’s introduction, Chen Mobai’s expression remained unchanged, but his heart was deeply shocked.

He knew that within the immortal gates, the highest level was the Spirit Transformation Stage.

Although he had heard Zhongli Tianyu mention that there were levels and realms above Spirit Transmutation, according to his knowledge, no one in the immortal gates had ever achieved it.

Yet, in this Tianhe Realm, there were not only ascended monks above Spirit Transmutation but there was even an inconceivable Merging Dao Realm in ancient times.

Even more unbelievable was the ability to lead an entire sect to ascend to the Upper Realm.

Such strength far exceeded Chen Mobai’s imagination.

“So you’re saying, the Heavenly Sovereign merged paths and took all the followers of the Longevity Sect up with him!” Chen Mobai said, pointing upwards, and Elder Ming nodded. Apart from this reason, she could think of no other that could make such a powerful force disappear without a trace overnight.

After all, in ancient times, the Longevity Sect could be considered one of the most powerful forces in the Tianhe Realm, and with the nearly Merging Path level Heavenly Sovereign, no cultivator or being could make such a dominant force vanish so silently and completely.

[If that’s really the case, then it’s a good thing!]

Chen Mobai instantly realized, if the Heavenly Sovereign had ascended after merging paths, then the most formidable presence of the Great Dao Tree, the Heavenly Sovereign’s spiritual sense, would certainly no longer exist.

No wonder True Lord Yuan could cultivate to the stage of ascension with the Longevity Sect’s legacy.

He must have obtained something left behind by the Heavenly Sovereign from the Great Dao Tree.

It’s a pity that he arrived in the Eastern Wilderness too late, or perhaps it would have been him ascending instead of True Lord Yuan.

Chen Mobai felt regret in his heart.

He was already thinking about returning to Giant Tree Ridge and then raiding the Divine Tree Secret Realm again, to see if he could enhance his Rank-3 techniques to Rank-4 through the Great Dao Tree.

He wasn’t asking for much, a Rank-4 in Sword Dao Realm or Thunder method would suffice. If not, even a Rank-4 Extreme Sun Slash would do.

With these thoughts, Chen Mobai, seeing that the sky was gradually darkening and that the hour of midnight was approaching, asked Elder Ming one more question.

“Now that a path has been opened between the Yin World and the Living World, creating the Yellow Springs Path which connects both, why haven’t you ghost cultivators come to the Yang Realm on a large scale?”

Upon hearing this, Elder Ming shook her head with a bitter smile.

“It’s not for lack of desire but for impossibility.”
