Realizing This Is A Wuxia World After Cultivating For 300 Years Novel - Chapter 396

Chapter 396 When I Was Cultivating, There Was No Heaven Realm

It was Zhou Juntian again.

Cui Heng frowned slightly when he heard this. This Zhou Juntian was really everywhere.

More than 300,000 years ago, he was the Sage who walked out of Daozhou Star. He was the last person to ascend under the Purple Sun Heaven. He was the one who caused the Heaven Realm to send down a scarlet light and caused the Purple Sun Heaven to be destroyed. He was also once the disciple of the Purple Sun Heavenly Lord.

Even letting the Heaven Realm reopen was related to him?

!!
Then was he also related to the sudden disappearance of the Heaven Realm back then?

Thinking about it carefully, most of the secrets and major events in this world seemed to be related to Zhou Juntian to a certain extent.

This person had a great secret.

Although Cui Heng was puzzled in his heart, he remained calm on the surface and said in a low voice, “Why is Zhou Juntian related to the reopening of the Heaven Realm?”

“Exalted Immortal, it’s like this…” Daoist Fang He hurriedly explained,” It’s said that Zhou Juntian is the reincarnation of the artifact spirit of the Heaven Gate. As long as we can find him, we have a chance to reopen the Heaven Gate.”

The reincarnation of the artifact spirit of the Heaven Gate?

Cui Heng was stunned when he heard this. He did not expect such an outcome. “Is this rumor true?” Cui Heng frowned slightly and said in a low voice, “Back then, the Purple Sun Heaven was destroyed by the Heaven Gate. Is this related to Zhou Juntian?”

“It was that day that destroyed the Purple Sun Heaven that convinced us that Zhou Juntian should indeed be the reincarnation of the Heaven Gate artifact spirit.” Daoist Fang He nodded and said, “Before that, it was just a rumor. After that, it’s most likely true.”

At this moment, Monk Yuan Ku added, “Back then, Zhou Juntian was inexplicably demoted and his memories were sealed and he was sent to reincarnate in the starry skies. It’s said that it was also because of this that the rumor appeared.”

“Yes, that’s true.” Daoist Fang He nodded and said, “As the disciple of Lord of the Heavens Ziyang and having made great contributions in the battle of the Saint Demon Heaven, Zhou Juntian was inexplicably demoted. At that time, there were many discussions among the heavens.”

“Later on, we guessed that Lord of the Heavens Ziyang’s original intention might be to continue suppressing Zhou Juntian’s intelligence in this life and reopen the door to the Heaven Realm. However, perhaps his methods were wrong and attracted Heavenly Punishment, causing the destruction of the Purple Sun Heaven.”

“Oh?” Cui Heng chuckled when he heard this. His eyes narrowed as he stared at the monk and Daoist priest. “Aren’t you afraid that my methods might be wrong as well and attract Heavenly Punishment?”

Daoist Fang He and Monk Yuan Ku’s faces turned pale.

Monk Yuan Ku hurriedly kowtowed and said, “Exalted Immortal, you’ve misunderstood. I didn’t mean that. You’re an expert who has stepped into the Heaven Gate realm. You are completely different from Lord of the Heavens Ziyang.”

Daoist Fang He was also trembling in fear as he explained, “Exalted Immortal, you’re mistaken. How could I dare to scheme against you? That Lord of the Heavens Ziyang is only at the Eighth Realm of the Immortal World, yet he wants to open the door to the Heaven Realm. He’s really courting death.”

“It’s said that experts who have stepped into the Heaven Gate realm will obtain special powers and can establish a connection with the Heaven Gate. They can absorb Heaven Immortal Qi through the Heaven Gate at all times.”

“If it’s an Immortal Venerable above the Fourth Heaven Gate Realm, they can rely on this connection to mobilize the power of the Heaven Gate and directly open it.”

At this point, the Daoist priest suddenly froze.

That’s not right.

If the Immortal Cui in front of him was an expert above the Fourth Heaven Gate Realm, it was impossible for him not to know this. Why would he ask this?

“So there’s such a magical thing after stepping into the Heaven Gate realm. One can absorb Immortal Qi through the Heaven Gate.” Cui Heng noticed this new knowledge and had a question at the same time. “Is Immortal Qi some special power? It’s helpful for cultivation?”

He planned to ask Wu Yong, who was still in his infant state, after the conversation ended. After all, he was an expert at the Second Heaven Gate realm and should know about this.

For now, he had to figure out what was going on with Zhou Juntian and the Heaven Realm.

Cui Heng naturally saw through the doubts in Daoist Fang He’s heart, but he did not care. Instead, he chuckled and said, “As far as I know, the Heaven Gate that appeared when Purple Sun Heaven was destroyed is not normal. Are you really sure that there won’t be any problems?”

The Ancestral Master of the Plague Imperial Palace, Ding Qiuhuang, had personally witnessed the destruction of the Purple Sun Heaven.

According to his description, the Heaven Gate that appeared at that time was completely different from the legendary holy and pure state. It was filled with scarlet color and an evil charm.

Ding Qiuhuang’s Hundred-Eyed Dao Body, which was filled with evil power, was successfully cultivated with the help of the scarlet color.

However, Cui Heng’s words stunned Daoist Fang He and Monk Yuan Ku.

“Exalted Immortal, you said that the Heaven Gate that appeared at that time was not normal. Were you in Purple Sun Heaven at that time?” Daoist Fang He asked boldly.

Monk Yuan Ku’s face also revealed surprise.

Both of them seemed to think of something.

“Do you recognize this power?” Cui Heng said indifferently. At the same time, he stretched out his right hand, and a small ball of scarlet light immediately lit up in his palm, emitting an extremely pure evil aura. One could vaguely see countless eyes opening and closing in this ball of light.

This was the scarlet light that he had recorded according to Ding Qiuhuang’s Hundred-Eyed Dao Body. The source was the nefarious Heaven Gate that destroyed the Purple Sun Heaven back then.

“Outer World Heavenly Light!” Daoist Fang He immediately exclaimed. He stared at the small ball of scarlet light in shock, his entire body trembling uncontrollably. He actually said in despair, “It’s over, it’s really over.”

“Even the Heaven Gate is stained with the light of the foreign world. How can this be? Amitabha, Amitabha…” Monk Yuan Ku pressed his palms together and chanted a Buddhist proclamation. He also had a despairing expression.

Cui Heng looked at the two of them quietly and realized that after seeing this scarlet light, their souls actually shook, and their minds were on the verge of collapse.

How much mental impact had they suffered?

“There’s no need to panic,” Cui Heng said indifferently. His voice contained a trace of Dharmic powers that could stabilize the soul of anyone who heard it and prevent all evil from invading.

When Daoist Fang He and Monk Yuan Ku heard this voice, they immediately felt like they were bathing in a spring breeze. The fear and despair on their faces gradually disappeared, and they quickly calmed down. “Thank you, Exalted Immortal!”

“Thank you, Exalted Immortal!”

The two of them bowed in unison.

At the same time, they were extremely shocked.

The power contained in that voice just now actually made them feel as if they had glimpsed the mysteries of the origin of the Great Dao. It was as if just that trace of power already contained all the laws and mysteries of the world.

The most exaggerated thing was that this was not the aura emitted by a supreme treasure, nor was it the power displayed by a Heavenly Saint Artifact. It was just a simple sentence.

It was actually so profound.

It was too incredible!

This incomparably shocked feeling immediately suppressed the fear and despair caused by seeing the foreign sky light, causing their hearts to be reignited with hope.

With such an Exalted Immortal around, even if the foreign realm really broke through their defensive line and descended, they might still have a chance of winning.

“You call it the Outer World Heavenly Light? Is this thing related to the Outer World?” Cui Heng shook his right hand, causing the ball of scarlet light in his palm to flicker. The evil aura within it became even stronger.

IIII

This time, Daoist Fang He and Monk Yuan Ku fell silent again.

Then, Daoist Fang He took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind. He said very respectfully, “May I ask how long Exalted Immortal has been in seclusion?”

Clearly, in his opinion, an existence like Cui Heng, who was clearly incomparably powerful and had an extremely high realm, actually did not know about the Outer World Heavenly Light. He did not even seem to know the characteristics of the 12 Heaven Gates. There was only one explanation.

Perhaps this was an ancient existence that had been in seclusion for countless years. He was very likely a living fossil that had survived from an era where there was no Outer World.

Cui Heng naturally understood what Daoist Fang He meant, so he smiled faintly and said, “When I was cultivating, there was no Heaven Realm.”

He had started cultivating in the Beginner’s Space.

Of course, there was no Heaven Realm inside.

He was clearly telling the truth.

However, these words were like a bolt from the blue to Daoist Fang He and Monk Yuan Ku.

At this moment, the two of them seemed to have been struck by lightning. Their eyes widened, and their faces revealed expressions of disbelief. They froze like puppets and did not move.

When I was cultivating, there was no Heaven Realm?

When I was cultivating, there was no Heaven Realm!!

This, this was actually a supreme expert who had already existed before the appearance of the Central Heaven Realm!

This was a supreme existence even older than the Heaven Realm!

When did the Heaven Realm first appear?

This was already impossible for these two Lords of the Heavens to verify.

However, even since the disappearance of the Heaven Realm, nearly 500,000 years had passed.

The Heaven Realm had ruled the myriad worlds for millions of years!

This Immortal Cui said that when he cultivated, there was no Heaven Realm. Didn’t that mean that he existed at least millions or even tens of millions of years ago!

Oh my God!

Tens of millions of years ago!

Did we just see a living history?!

How powerful was an existence that had lived for tens of millions of years or even longer?

Daoist Fang He and Monk Yuan Ku could not help but tremble. They were so excited that they could not even speak.

“Why? Are you unwilling to tell me?” Cui Heng smiled.

The gentle voice woke the monk and Daoist priest up from his extreme shock. Only then did the two of them suddenly come back to their senses and barely calm their emotions. They hurriedly bowed respectfully to Cui Heng and said in unison, “Yes, yes, of course we’re willing.”

At this moment, in their hearts, Cui Heng was already an ancient living fossil that had been in seclusion for tens of millions of years. It was normal for him not to know anything about this era.

“Exalted Immortal, it’s like this…” Daoist Fang He looked at the Outer World Heavenly Light and explained,” The 12 Heaven Gates are the foundation of the realm above the Nine Realms of the Immortal World, but these Heaven Gates are not the only existence.”

“There’s also a Heaven Gate in the foreign starry sky. The characteristics of its power are different from ours. This so-called Outer World Heavenly Light is actually the power of the Outer World Heaven Gate.”

“When this little Daoist and Yuan Ku passed through the Three Higher Heavens to resist the Outer World Heaven Gate realm experts, we often saw this power. I didn’t expect that the Heaven Gate had already been infected by the Outer World Heaven Gate.”

At this point, he revealed a sorrowful expression and sighed. “Perhaps the reason why the Heavenly Realm suddenly disappeared was because it had already been defeated by the Outer World.”
