10,000 Years In A Cultivation Sect: I Obtained A Powerful Technique From The Start Novel - Chapter 263

Chapter 263: The Three-Parts Shackles

Deep in the Abyss, many different forces of the Heavenly Realm had already forced their way into the place.

This was an open and upright invasion, where they were even willing to let go of the grievances between each other and form an army of tacit understanding and pushed through together.

After all, the Abyss was equivalent to a quasi-great chiliocosm and who knew how many great treasures were hidden in it. Moreover, based on the Heavenly Emperor’s Decree, it was a great trial for all, an upright plunder.

The Abyss could only fall back and resisted passively, as they were simply unable to resist the forceful invasion of all the forces of the Heavenly Realm.

However, not long after the plunder began, there was a law of divine vibrational sound, which turned into a voice of Daoism in their ears, saying: the Infinite Realm Auction House will be opened a year later!

Upon hearing that many good items, especially the ways of sanctifying a person’s path towards the Holy Dao would be auctioned, many peerless experts were shocked to learn of such news in that instance.

As such the great trial of the Heavenly Emperor’s Decree became even more ferocious as everyone was plundering for wealth.

…

In the Heavenly Court.

“Infinite Realms Auction House!” The Great Heavenly Venerate had a solemn expression on his face, “I didn’t expect for it to descend into our realm again.”

“Your Majesty, does this auction house really come from the Chaos?” Star Lord Taibai was very surprised.

He knew of the terror in the Chaos. Once inside, it wouldn’t matter whether one was a Quasi-Sage expert, or a Great Heavenly Venerate. Losing focus slightly would lead to the person being decimated by the violent Chaos storm.

If the Chaos was not as dangerous as it was, those of the Quasi-Sage Realm of the Heavenly Realm would have gone to seek for treasures in it long ago.

The Great Heavenly Venerate nodded, “A long time ago, I was only… at that time. There was chaos throughout the heavens and earth, there was no order, and nothing but endless bloodshed, be it for power, for territory, for self-tempering or for Dao improvement. For billions of years, there had been endless bloodbaths, yet there was still no one who was able to sanctify the way of Dao. It was not until the Infinite Realm Auction House descended and brought upon various great treasures and even the guide of Dao. Only after that event did the Sage Venerate come into the world, the Honggu Heavenly Realm was brought into order and the Heavenly Court began its establishment! ”

“Although the world is now unified, the Infinite Realm Auction House still descended into the realm…” Great Heavenly Venerate frowned, “With the great trial only just at its beginning, I fear that there will be some chaos happening. Troubled times lead to great opportunities, yet prosperity is the cause of chaos.”

“Your Majesty, are you worried about the Abyss?” Star Lord Taibai thought about the items promoted by the Infinite Realm Auction House and his brows twitched fiercely.

“We’ll just wait and watch!” The Great Heavenly Venerate did not answer.

…

Inside the Infinite Realm Palace, Riyue Changfeng took Jiang Ming’s clone for a tour of his treasury, and said slowly while introducing the many treasures, “Longevity is relative. True immortality however, seems to not exist at present! Birth, old age, sickness and death are the true norml! The world has birth and death, so do the planar worlds, small chiliocosm, middle chiliocosm, great chiliocosm, and even the Chaos! It’s just that the bigger the world is, the longer the lifespan will be. Such a long lifespan causes people to become desperate and makes people want to transform themselves into Dao, such as the Chaos. Chaos has life and death, but its life does not know of the year, and neither does its death. As such, the creatures born in it will have relative longevity, or even eternal life! On the other hand, the lower the level of a world, the shorter the lifespan will be. Be that as it may, this is only relatively speaking!”

“When a world reaches its limit naturally however, it will generally be ‘turned into Dao’ under the rules of the Great Dao, returning to the origin of the world, and that the Heart of the World would not be born at all!”

“The birth of the Heart of the World is usually under forced intervention. Yet such a way would lead to the backlash from the terrifying powers of Dao. We’ll just put aside the planar worlds as an ordinary Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm could’ve forcefully destroyed the world already. It wouldn’t stand a chance against the backlash of the power of Dao. However, it is basically impossible to get the complete heart of the world through such a method of forced destruction. If it wasn’t planned and arranged accordingly, it would be difficult to obtain even an incomplete one! ”

“A complete heart of the world is obtained by condensing and refining the entire world, returning it back into its original origin and transforming it into the Mysterious Yellow Maternal Womb of Origin. The world’s heart in such a state could not be achieved by even a Quasi-Sage expert, and to top it off, it is only aimed at the planar world, not to mention the hearts of small chiliocosm or middle chiliocosm! As such, the hearts of the world are all imperfect!”

“There are many hearts of the planar worlds, but there are very few hearts of small chiliocosm. Even after proper preparation and destroying hundreds of small chiliocosm, we actually may not be able to give birth to one heart of the world! It’s just too difficult!”

“As for the middle chiliocosms? If it’s a Quasi-Sage’s plan to destroy the world and return it to its original origin, I am afraid that the Dao backlash will turn the world into ashes, annihilating it in an instant. Therefore, the heart of the middle chiliocosm is very rare.”

“As for the heart of the great chiliocosm? If you look at the Chaos, it is extremely rare. If a heart of the great chiliocosm really appears, its worth would be comparable to that of the Chaos!”

“I have three hearts of the small chiliocosms and one heart of the middle chiliocosms!” As Riyue Changfeng said, he stretched out his hand and grabbed, a ‘big sun’ burning with raging flames could be seen flying towards them from the depths of the starry sky. As it got closer, it shrank quickly and turned into a divine embryo with boundless divine luminance or abundance power of creation.

By only slightly sensing the divine embryo, the surging vitality contained in it would have moved anyone and left them in shock.

“This is the heart of a middle chiliocosm. However, it is too broken unfortunately and is only equivalent to one-thousandth of the origin of the Middle chiliocosm. However, its essence remains unchanged!” Riyue Changfeng said with a smile, “For the Quasi-Sages, especially those at the pinnacle, these are all rare treasures to them. However, for the peerless experts who follow the path of the World Dao, its value is comparable to the Sage Artifact. No, even the Holy Artifact couldn’t even compare to it.”

“Brother Riyue, you are really tempting me to rob you!” Jiang Ming laughed.

“Brother Jiang is an upright gentleman. What’s more, you are the host, whereas I am a guest. Why would a host rob his guests?” Riyue Changfeng smiled, giving others a feeling as though their faces were caressed by the spring breeze, and he continued, “As we all know, in the Chaos, the World Dao is the most difficult one, but its combat power is extremely powerful!”

He paused for a while and continued: “For the World Dao, it is not difficult to give birth to a planar world, and not too difficult to even ascend into the small chiliocosm. But upon reaching the limits of the small chiliocosm, further improvement is harder than stepping into the Sage Realm directly from the Heavenly Immortal Realm through enlightenment.”

“Is it that difficult?” Jiang Ming was surprised.

He had heard Dongfang Chenxi mentioned it before. Although it was difficult, it seemed that it was not as difficult as what Riyue Changfeng was saying now.

It was totally impossible for one to step into the Sage Realm directly from the Heavenly Immortal Realm. Therefore, this metaphor gave Jiang Ming the feeling of pure despair.

“Of course it’s that difficult! Otherwise, those people cultivating the World Dao would’ve been easily seen roaming around already. After all, one just has to ensure that his inner world keeps improving.” Riyue Changfeng said with a smile, “Previously in a period of time, there were many people who followed this path, and they were all geniuses. However, the result was that many stopped at the planar world stage, and the rest were all stopped at the small chiliocosm stage, no longer able to advance an inch. Or rather, they were able to comprehend some Taiyi laws at most and that was all. Over time, fewer and fewer people took this path. However, there are also successful ones, but most of them stopped at only the middle chiliocosm stage. ”

Jiang Ming frowned, “Once a person reaches the extreme state of the small chiliocosm, couldn’t he comprehend the 3,000 Taiyi Laws and improve the chiliocosm from the outside in? By accumulating the foundation inside and strengthening the power of origin, such integration from the inside and outside would’ve made it easy to enter the middle chiliocosm. Wouldn’t it? ”

“These are just the assumptions of some people in the great chiliocosms who have gotten their hands on World Dao cultivation!” Riyue Changfeng smiled strangely, “If it is really that simple, why are there so few people who walk the path of World Dao? After all, if a Quasi-Sage can nurture disciples cultivating World Dao, what’s more the Sage Venerates!”

Jiang Ming’s heart skipped a beat as he thought of Dongfang Chenxi again.

“When the inner world has evolved into the middle chiliocosm, and upon reaching its perfection, its origin is equivalent to that of the Sage Realm!” Riyue Changfeng said, “Which means that once the inner world enters the middle chiliocosm level, you can directly reach the Sage Realm. In the general great chiliocosm, this is the highest combat power already. Brother Jiang, do you think that the small chiliocosm can complete the transition so easily?”

“If that’s the case, I’m afraid there would’ve been countless people who followed the World Dao already!” Jiang Ming smiled bitterly.

The inner world could evolve on its own and even enhance its own origin. All it needed was time. And time was not a matter for cultivators. A period of time as long as 100 billion years was merely a trivial matter.

Take the previous Bei Chenxing for example, he had been cultivating for no less than hundreds of billions of years already.

“That’s the principle behind it!” Riyue Changfeng nodded, “There used to be a lot of people refining countless rare artifacts and accumulated their origins when they were in the pinnacle of the small chiliocosm and at the same time comprehended the 3,000 Taiyi Laws. They thought they could break through through the integration of the foundation inside and outside harmoniously, but none of them succeeded. In fact, there wasn’t one or two people, but many of them who basically ended up stopping at this level. Some tried to forcibly break through. As a result, they ended up dying as their souls were annihilated. Their inner world collapsed, and the accumulation of hundreds of millions of years were wiped out in vain. ”

“Aren’t there those who have succeeded? What was the reason behind their success?” Jiang Ming asked, followed by shaking his head quickly, “Sorry, I’ve crossed the line!”

Such a question regarding enlightenments caused him to somewhat lose his sense of proportion.

“Although this is a great secret, with Brother Jiang’s talent, you should be able to guess it!” Riyue Changfeng still smiled, “There are many experts who speculated that this barricade is a test of Dao, the soul and will. It is also a Dao calamity, and even more of a confinement. Although the person didn’t reveal the specific reason for it, there is also a general assumption that many have agreed upon… Brother Jiang, would you like to take a guess?”

“Spiritual will!” Jiang Ming said without hesitation.

In the Supreme Pagoda, what was originally tested was a person’s combat power, will, and comprehensive ability. Upon entering the Supreme Tower of Immortal Realm, the main test was on combat power and will.

Combat power was not of much use for a person’s cultivation breakthrough and could also be improved through grinding and training. As for the will? Though a person’s will could be honed through training, it was too difficult.

In fact, the reason why Jun Sanqian’s attitude towards him kept changing was also because his own spiritual will had been strengthened to a level beyond common sense.

“The power of the inner world is too powerful. With 3,000 laws constructing the world, creating great fortunes, promoting the cycles of reincarnation, and even nurturing of lives, the inner world has formed a perfect cycle for itself and could even produce the power of heaven and earth by itself. How can a person take hold of such a power without an extremely strong will of the soul? How could they bear such power?” Jiang Ming muttered again.

*Claps*…

Riyue Changfeng clapped and praised, “As expected of Brother Jiang. Such greatness! Your speculations are completely correct! There are three aspects of the evolution of the small chiliocosm: external comprehension of the 3,000 Taiyi Laws to promote the evolution, internal accumulation of dense origin to bear the evolution, and also to possess a will of eternal perseverance to take total control of the evolution. It is through all three of these aspects that the transformation and sublimation can be completed!

“Thank you for pointing them out too!” Jiang Ming cupped his hands to show gratitude and smiled, “Brother Riyue, your way of promoting business is really unusual!”

“Haha…” Riyue Changfeng couldn’t help laughing.

The reason he said so much just now, was to make good friends with Jiang Ming on one hand and to do business on the other hand as well.

Jiang Ming naturally saw through it.
