108: Luo Sheng's inheritance
Their bodies remained incorruptible in this space for tens of thousands of years, seemingly preserved forever by something.
“This is…”
A hint of confusion flickered in your eyes.
Upon stepping into this space, you could clearly feel as if you had entered another world.
This place was entirely different from the Ancient Spirit World; it should be closer to the Xuanhuang Great World.
The remnants of various races appearing before your eyes confirmed this point.
You began to explore this world.
Its area was not large, roughly the size of the Eastern Continent Cultivation World.
Yet, the number of Cultivators who had perished here was astonishing.
Even Immortal Emperor Realm powerhouses occasionally appeared.
And beside the remains of these powerhouses, streaks of profound and abstruse power floated.
“Law Power!!”
“How can there be so much Law Power in this world!?”
You were greatly alarmed.
Law Power was a necessary condition for achieving Immortal King.
In the Xuanhuang Great World, Law Power was finite.
Only one strand of each Law Power would be born.
This led to the scarcity of Law Power.
Countless Profound Immortal Realm Cultivators were trapped indefinitely, unable to achieve Immortal King, all because of a single strand of Law Power.
It was easy to imagine how attractive this world was to Profound Immortal Cultivators.
“Spirit Nurturing, Fate Weaving, Symbiosis, True Fire, Nature…”
Dozens of strands of Law Power appeared before you.
Although powerful Law Power among them was scarce, the ability to Breakthrough to Immortal King alone was enough.
If this world were to be exposed, it would undoubtedly cause a huge uproar in the Xuanhuang Great World.
“It’s a pity I already possess the Law of Space; other Law Power currently holds little use for me.”
You sighed softly, then continued to explore the area.
However, this world had existed for far too long.
Although the bodies of these Cultivators had not decayed, the Immortal Artifacts they carried had lost their spirituality due to not being repaired in time after the great battle.
Such Immortal Artifacts were practically useless to you.
Just as you were about to leave, a voice called out to you.
“Little friend, wait.”
You looked in the direction of the voice and found that the one who called you was a white-robed old man.
You immediately became wary.
But the old man seemed to bear no ill will. He merely stood in place and slowly said, “I didn’t expect the first to arrive here would be a Human Race. It seems we ultimately won that great battle.”
The old man then introduced his identity.
He was Luo Sheng, the Hall Master of the Hall of Longevity, one of the Five Great Sects of the Spirit Realm, and an Immortal Emperor Peak Cultivator.
Although he unfortunately perished in the Myriad Races Great War, his Soul had not completely dissipated to this day because he controlled the Azure Wood Law.
You were greatly shocked upon learning this news.
But then you told Luo Sheng that his hopes were in vain.
At this time, the worlds where the myriad races resided had long since undergone Fusion, forming the Xuanhuang Great World.
And the Human Race had not won the war back then; the Human Race was now being raised by those powerful races, barely surviving in the Xuanhuang Great World.
Luo Sheng was silent for a long time upon hearing this, only showing a relieved smile after a while.
“Alas… so be it, so be it. I should have known this would be the outcome.”
“It’s just a pity… waiting here for thousands of years, I ultimately couldn’t get a satisfactory result.”
“This is everything I’ve learned in my life. I’ll leave it to you, little friend. I only hope you can protect more of your kin.”
Luo Sheng then slowly disappeared from the spot.
And at the moment he completely dissipated, a profound green energy and an ancient book appeared before you.
You ignored the energy representing the Azure Wood Law and instead opened the ancient book.
Instantly, a vast amount of Legacy memories flooded into your mind.
You obtained the fifth-grade Immortal Method, the Azure Emperor Longevity Method.
You obtained Luo Sheng’s life experiences.
You obtained the fifth-grade Immortal Art, the Myriad Transformations Palm.
...
You absorbed the memories in your mind, and only after a long time did you open your eyes.
“Something’s not right.”
You frowned slightly.
In Luo Sheng’s memories, he had existed in this world as a Soul entity for a hundred thousand years.
However, the Myriad Races Great War recorded in the Xuanhuang Great World, even with a generous estimate, was only about sixty thousand years ago. How could there be such a large discrepancy between the two?
“Where did the time in between go?!”
“Could it be that Luo Sheng stayed here for too long and forgot the time?”
“No, that’s not right.”
You immediately dismissed this idea.
One must know that Luo Sheng was a great Cultivator at the Immortal Emperor Peak, extremely sensitive to the passage of time.
Moreover, while the Azure Wood Law could preserve his Soul, it could only maintain him until the end of his natural lifespan.
When he first perished, his lifespan was projected to end in a hundred thousand years.
If only sixty thousand years had passed since his demise, then his Soul would certainly not be as weak as it was!
“Forty thousand years in the middle disappeared?!”
A chill ran down your spine.
If this was truly the doing of those foreign races, then it was simply too terrifying.
The nine hundredth year.
During these years, you had been teaching the Dao at Burial Immortal Mountain and had not gone anywhere else.
But even so, your cultivation had not progressed at all.
This was because the gap between you and the Ancient Spirit World Cultivators was too vast.
Their current Breakthrough offered you very little help.
You estimated that even if all the Cultivators in the entire Ancient Spirit World were nurtured to Undergoing Tribulation, the feedback they could provide you would only be enough to raise you by a few minor Realms.
However, the Purple Brilliance Secret Realm had not yet opened, and you had no way to travel to the Xuanhuang Great World through it, so you could only remain in the Ancient Spirit World and continue to accumulate Power of Destiny.
The one thousandth year.
The black and white Power of Destiny reappeared, and you, without hesitation, claimed it.
This time, no one dared to step forward and contend for it.
Your performance in the Ancient Spirit World over the years had made everyone recognize your power.
You called the previous four individuals and Wang Li together and had them choose the Power of Destiny suitable for themselves.
As for the remaining three pseudo-Power of Destiny, you gave them to two other individuals with Luck and Xu Chen.
Thus, under the envious gazes of the crowd, the eight of them collectively underwent Ascension and traveled to the Xuanhuang Great World.
