239: Chapter 238 Ascension Realm, Eternal Soul

Xing Yao has left.

She departed in the direction of the Domain Sea.

Ye Xiu did not pay attention to that side anymore; he sat cross-legged above the firmament, familiarizing himself with his newly created method while waiting for the three Emperors.

He hoped they could completely end this turmoil at the source of the Blood Sea.

Hum...

The sky-high blood Qi was gradually shrinking.

As time passed, that sky-piercing blood ray finally disappeared.

And the Blood Sea on the ancestral land also disappeared at this moment, revealing the three Emperors with world-shaking auras.

"Is it over?"

Ye Xiu looked at the three Emperors Cultivating with their eyes closed, and felt relieved in his heart.

Although the three did not wake up immediately, it was a normal phenomenon to block out all external perception during some important Cultivation stages.

But just at this moment.

The entire Other Shore Highland suddenly trembled.

The Blood Sea, which had already disappeared, turned into something like a castle in the air, appearing above the firmament in an illusory state.

At this moment.

An unprecedented will suddenly awakened, just like a Dominator of the world, and that aura was Soul-shaking.

Ye Xiu frowned.

He looked at the illusory Blood Sea Divine Spring in the firmament; there were no Eerie Ancestors or Blood Spirits there.

There was only a pool of blood.

Hum...

The Blood Sea vibrated.

It seemed to be evolving; it slowly converged and finally formed the shape of a human.

This human formed from the Blood Sea was an old man with crane-white hair and a youthful complexion.

It stood in an illusory state above the firmament, staring quietly at Ye Xiu, as if it possessed thoughts, and its pair of eyes carried a sense of vicissitudes.

"Are you still alive?"

Ye Xiu stepped forward to the illusory figure, his tone carrying a hint of surprise.

"My state is something you cannot understand; it was their appearance that allowed me to briefly appear in this space-time." The illusory figure pointed at the three Emperors below the ancestral land, its vicissitudinous eyes carrying a hint of gratitude.

"What is their state? Why haven't they woken up yet?"

Ye Xiu's consciousness swept over them; the three Emperors were still in a state of Cultivation, but at a time like this, no matter how urgent the Cultivation was, it should have stopped.

After all, the ultimate master of the Blood Sea had appeared.

The three Emperors should have woken up to ask about the cause of the turmoil, rather than continuing to sit cross-legged and Cultivate.

Hearing Ye Xiu's question.

The illusory figure shook its head slightly, looked at the three Emperors Cultivating cross-legged, and after a long while, sighed softly: "They are transcending."

"Transcending?"

"That is, Ascension; Ascending in the state of a Soul. The ones before you are merely instinctive shells."

"What!"

Ye Xiu was shocked, and immediately his consciousness erupted, wanting to wake the three Emperors.

But no matter how he erupted his consciousness, he could not wake the three Emperors; even when entering their Sea of Consciousness, he still did not find the existence of their true spirit.

The three Emperors were like shells without a Soul, instinctively maintaining their state of Cultivation.

"Youngster, Ascension is the extreme point of Cultivation; the Physical Body is merely a shell, and only the eternity of the Divine Soul is the end point of Cultivation."

The illusory figure explained: "When a Cultivator Breakthroughs a certain extreme point, the Divine Soul will enter the state of Ascension, while the Physical Body will gradually decay, finally forming the Blood Sea Divine Spring you saw before, breeding those immortal and imperishable things."

"You mean, the previous Blood Sea Divine Spring was formed by your body... You Ascended?" Ye Xiu looked at the illusory figure, not knowing what exactly this thing before him was.

According to the meaning of this illusory figure.

The Realm above the Emperors is the Ascension Realm, where the Divine Soul is eternal.

But where are the Divine Souls of the three Emperors?

Where did they go after Ascension?

All of this is a mystery.

The illusory figure chuckled: "I should be the first to reach the Realm of Ascension; the three of them are latecomers. When you reach this Realm, you will know that everything is actually illusory; only the eternity of the Divine Soul is true transcendence."

"Who exactly are you?"

"I don't remember. I have experienced too many Reincarnation years, witnessing the rise and fall of countless Prodigies. Unfortunately, Emperor is the limit of the Physical Body. No one has been like me, walking towards the eternity of the Divine Soul to attain the Ascension Realm. The three of them are an exception."

"Reincarnation years... In other words, the cause of the Eerie turmoil is something you did intentionally?"

Killing intent was congealing in Ye Xiu's eyes.

His two methods were completely in Fusion, his combat power unprecedented in history. In this world, there was probably no one who could fight him.

"Tides rise and fall, Reincarnation never stops. All things in the world have spirituality, and the world itself is the same."

The illusory figure looked towards the direction of the Domain Sea, its eyes carrying a hint of nostalgia, as if it had lived there during some Reincarnation year.

Seeing that Ye Xiu did not speak.

It then continued: "When a Cultivator reaches a limit, the world needs Reincarnation; otherwise, blind taking will only cause the world to die completely, thereby... falling into eternal extinction."

"Is this your reason?"

"Blood needs metabolism to allow the world to survive better. Blind indulgence will only cause all Souls to lose the possibility of Rebirth."

"Hehe... In the end, all this killing and sparing is just left to your own preferences."

"Actually, one could say that. I am neither an evil person nor a sage. If the world does not perish, I will not perish; if the world perishes, I will wander in unknown time."

"With your ability, instead of thinking about the evolution of heaven and earth and increasing the upper limit of the world, you are controlling the world's orthodoxies. Whenever one becomes strong, you send down Eerie Ancestors to slaughter all the spirits of the heavens. If you are not an evil person, then what is an evil person?"

Ye Xiu could not agree with the illusory figure's viewpoint and directly questioned it.

The illusory figure was not angry.

It continued to speak: "You are qualified to advance to Ascension. When you are like them in the future, you will be able to understand that this world is actually not as simple as you imagine."

"Heh... Ascension, I am not interested. If the world truly has a spirit, I think it would not want one Domain after another, full of spirituality, to be completely destroyed at the hands of the Eerie."

Ye Xiu thought of the war in the Domain Sea.

The war back then seemed to be a battlefield for the strongest.

In fact, in the Domain Sea, those who died the most were the living beings who could not escape the Domain Sea.

What wrong did they commit?
