395: Huafan Building

The Law Revered One gave a wry smile, "Of course not. One cannot survive."

"In the Transformation into the Mortal Tower, I died of old age again and again. Each time I died of old age, my memories would shatter, and I would lose everything, just like an emotionless beast."

"To have survived so many epochs in such a cruel environment before embarking on the path of Cultivation, I relied entirely on the accumulation of infinite time. Before each memory wipe, I tried every possible way to leave traces."

"Those traces were destroyed before I could even fully recover."

"But I could only repeat it again and again, dying and coming back to life repeatedly, until one time, with extreme luck, I caught a trace of my previous memory and then transmitted information again and again."

"This repeated for endless years. That desolate, cold planet finally evolved again and again; it shattered, was destroyed by extraterrestrial meteorites, and experienced terrifying cold waves covering the entire globe…"

"I can't even count how many times I went through such periods. Finally, with extremely good luck, the planet evolved to be temporarily habitable. I accumulated seven or eight memory traces consecutively, none of which were destroyed, allowing me to fortunately step onto the path of Cultivation."

Chu Feng narrowed his eyes, deep in thought.

In an environment so harsh that one could not Cultivate or even survive.

The 'leaving traces' that the Law Revered One spoke of naturally couldn't be leaving imprints casually; that was simply impossible.

He could only use the most primitive methods, carving stroke by stroke, in a safe place on that planet.

Even so, the amount of information he could leave was too little. The environment of this planet was too harsh, and the time he could survive each time probably wouldn't exceed a few years.

It was only because he was inside the Transformation into the Mortal Tower that he wouldn't truly die. Relying on endless years and infinite time, waiting for mountains and seas to evolve and heaven and earth to change, he finally embarked on the path of Cultivation.

"Once one steps onto the path of Cultivation, then this Transformation into the Mortal Tower no longer poses much difficulty," Chu Feng commented.

The Law Revered One smiled bitterly again and again, "If one retains their Cultivation memories, then that is indeed the case."

"But the most terrifying aspect of the Transformation into the Mortal Tower lies here: each revival only retains memories unrelated to Cultivation. Can you imagine how many terrifying negative emotions are contained within?"

"Countless failures, countless deaths, countless times watching heaven and earth be destroyed, oneself like a blade of grass – what kind of despair must that be?"

"At that time, the Beyond Realm existence who brought me into the Transformation into the Mortal Tower, along with Burning Word Ancient Buddha and me, came from the same generation. His achievements far surpassed ours, suppressing us our entire lives. At that time, he had already entered the He Dao Realm."

"But can you imagine?"

"Such a top-tier existence who dominated a generation, with an unblemished Heart-Nature, having experienced countless life-and-death situations, was extinguished in that Transformation into the Mortal Tower like a wisp of duckweed."

"According to the rules of the Transformation into the Mortal Tower, he could choose Rebirth and challenge it again."

"But he didn't do that."

"Because his Dao Heart had died with the memories of countless Reincarnations and countless deaths."

"Even a He Dao Realm mighty figure failed to break through the Transformation into the Mortal Tower, which speaks to its terror."

"If I hadn't been lucky enough to pick up that detached fragment, I probably would have self-destructed by now."

"To pass the Second Heavenly Gate, I don't know what kind of terrifyingly resilient Dao Heart is required."

The Law Revered One's eyes dimmed as he recalled the horror of the Transformation into the Mortal Tower in those years, still feeling an urge to perish.

Chu Feng remained silent. His Cultivation time was actually not long, so he didn't have a strong feeling about such terrifying time flow.

But even so, just by imagining it, he understood the terror of the Transformation into the Mortal Tower.

It was a destructive blow to the Dao Heart!

Chu Feng slowly said, "Is this why you previously knew that the Emperor Realm was within the Second or even Third Heavenly Gate, and used the Emperor Realm and the Yan Huang Ancient Clan to threaten me?"

"Precisely. The Emperor Realm and the Yan Huang Ancient Clan are within the Second Heavenly Gate!"

"What I thought at the time was to lure you into the Transformation into the Mortal Tower, and then Master, you would have no chance of turning things around."

"I didn't expect you to be so fierce, directly leading the Nine Nether Great Demons into the peaceful Beyond Realm."

"Now I don't need to show off my meager skill; the Triple Sky Barrier has come looking for you."

The Law Revered One lowered his head, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Times were different now. He was now Chu Feng's subordinate, and he felt extremely apologetic for his previous ignorant behavior.

As if to prevent Chu Feng from being angry with him any longer, he emphasized again, "You only need to stall for time in the First Heavenly Gate and do nothing; the other two Triple Sky Barrier will not receive you."

Chu Feng looked at the entrance to the Second Heavenly Gate, paying it no mind, and instead said faintly, "How did you know that the Emperor Realm and the Yan Huang Ancient Clan are in the Second Heavenly Gate?"

He only sensed that the Emperor Realm was within the Triple Sky Barrier, but whether it was the Second or Third Heavenly Gate, he did not know.

Yet, the Law Revered One, who had undergone tribulation in the Transformation into the Mortal Tower and was extremely fearful of it, had definitively informed him that the Emperor Realm and the Yan Huang Ancient Clan were in the Second Heavenly Gate!

The Law Revered One paused for a moment and said, "When Burning Word Ancient Buddha and I were being incinerated by the Nether Prison Heavenly Fire in the First Heavenly Gate, I personally saw the Emperor Realm flying, breaking from the First Heavenly Gate into the Second Heavenly Gate."

"Not much time has passed, so the Emperor Realm definitely wouldn't have entered the Third Heavenly Gate."

"As for the Yan Huang Ancient Clan, this extremely ancient race has been hiding within the Second Heavenly Gate ever since the Great Cataclysm. Legend has it that someone from the Yan Huang Ancient Clan even became the Tower Master of the Transformation into the Mortal Tower, but no one knows if it's true."

"From my experience, it's most likely false."

The Law Revered One's confident assertion made Chu Feng stroke his chin, his eyes flickering.

The Emperor Realm…

How much time had passed?

To be able to directly break from the Lower Realm into the Beyond Realm, and even directly break through the Five Calamities of the Dao Gods to enter the Second Heavenly Gate.

What secret was contained within this?

"What is the origin of the God Emperor of the Yan Huang Ancient Clan?"

The Law Revered One quickly replied, "The most top-tier existence of the Yan Huang Ancient Clan, a person who has obtained the Yan Huang Ancient Clan's divine mark, is called a God Emperor."

"What Realm is a God Emperor?"

"According to the history I know, God Emperors are generally at the He Dao Realm Late Stage or He Dao Realm Peak."

"How many God Emperors does the Yan Huang Ancient Clan have in total?"

"According to historical records, there were four great God Emperors, whose names are now unknown, erased by the Dominator."

Chu Feng frowned, asking coldly again, "Why are you so certain I am a God Emperor?"

"That fellow Burning Word Ancient Buddha said it; we didn't know."

Chu Feng reminded him, "You and Burning Word Ancient Buddha are connected by Karma; think about it carefully again."

The Law Revered One froze for a moment.

Burning Word Ancient Buddha and he were indeed connected by Karma. He said helplessly, "But the problem is… I tried to avoid being entangled in Karma with him as much as possible."

"Now that he has died, I want to trace the Karma, but I can't find it."

"Unless… unless there is Karma Divine Reality."
