90: Secret of the World

You responded in a panic.

But that sharp sword light still caused you considerable damage.

This person's strength is unexpectedly high!

Your heart was greatly alarmed.

With the help of Bloodline Power, Pinnacle Gold Spirit Body, and Great Dao Immortal Venerable, your strength had already reached a terrifying level.

Cultivators like Master San Deng, who was at Mahayana First Stage, even if he used all his strength, he was no match for you.

Yet, Five Spirits Sanren, right before you, broke through your defense with just one sword strike!

This person at least possesses the strength of the Mahayana Middle Stage!

Facing this person, you became cautious.

You fully activated the Pinnacle Gold Spirit Body and unleashed the innate Divine Ability you had previously Cultivated—Sun Finger.

The Qi of ultimate Yang circulated, and all the Spiritual Qi throughout your body condensed into a single point, aiming towards Five Spirits Sanren.

In an instant, the Void Realm layers collapsed, as if a mysterious force had peeled away the clouds.

The Sun Finger then extended from the crack, like a broken firmament.

"Good timing!"

Five Spirits Sanren shouted, and five halos encircled him. They continuously rotated and overlapped until they completely merged into one, forming a light barrier!

"Bang!"

A heaven-shaking collision sound rang out, causing the entire world to tremble three times.

The light barrier shattered with a roar, but your Sun Finger's momentum did not decrease, striking directly at Five Spirits Sanren!

You won this move!

"How is this possible?!"

"Your Cultivation is inferior to mine, your Physical Body's rank is inferior to mine, and the Divine Ability you Cultivate is also inferior to mine, so how could it turn out like this?!"

Hearing this, you merely smiled indifferently.

"Five Spirits Sanren, you old Senior, it's better not to be too impetuous. When I visited Master San Deng before, he didn't directly attack like you."

"Hmm? You know San Deng?"

Five Spirits Sanren frowned slightly, then fell into deep thought.

After a long while, he finally spoke: "Young man, although I cannot discern your exact age, judging by your appearance, your Lifespan should still be very abundant."

"I'll kindly remind you, even if your Cultivation reaches the Peak of Undergoing Tribulation, do not absorb those pseudo-Power of Destiny to Ascend!"

Seeing that Five Spirits Sanren's tone had softened, you immediately began to inquire about the Ancient Spirit World.

Hearing this, Five Spirits Sanren sighed heavily, and after a long while, he began to tell you what he knew.

In the era when Five Spirits Sanren was born, the Ancient Spirit World had no restrictions.

Cultivators could Cultivate to the Mahayana Realm without relying on the Power of Destiny.

However, later, a massive Formation seemed to have been laid in this world.

It enveloped the entire Ancient Spirit World, preventing the Cultivators here from Breaking through to Mahayana.

And it forced them to rely on the Power of Destiny born in the Ancient Spirit World to Breakthrough Mahayana and Ascend.

Five Spirits Sanren was also like this back then.

He was very lucky and Ascended directly to a Human Race city in the Xuanhuang Great World.

Initially, he thought he could peacefully Cultivate there and attain the Dao of longevity.

But soon, he realized something was wrong.

Every person in that city had Death Qi emanating from their faces.

The entire city was also like this.

Lifeless, without a shred of hope.

Five Spirits Sanren asked those people why this was the case.

The result he learned sent a chill down his spine.

The Human Race in this city had become the Blood food for other races, pushed out by high-ranking Human Race Cultivators to preserve themselves.

He immediately chose to flee from there.

But how could the other races guarding the city let him leave so easily?

Five Spirits Sanren engaged in a fierce battle with them, ultimately escaping at the cost of burning his essence Blood.

However, in the days that followed, Five Spirits Sanren discovered that almost all of the Human Race in the entire Xuanhuang Great World were like this.

The city he saw was a miniature version of the Human Race.

Disheartened, he began to explore the Xuanhuang Great World aimlessly.

This period was long, and Five Spirits Sanren's Cultivation also improved significantly.

And it was during a conflict with another alien race Cultivator that he accidentally shattered a spatial node.

Just like that, he and that alien race returned to the Ancient Spirit World.

His current Mahayana Fifth Stage Cultivation was achieved in the Xuanhuang Great World.

Hearing this, you frowned and said, "So, in this world, Mahayana First Stage is already the limit?"

"Not entirely. Although Mahayana Cultivators are suppressed by the power of this world, based on my guess, it's still possible to improve two or three Realm stages within one's lifetime."

"Two or three stages, huh... That's not enough."

You murmured to yourself.

A plan was slowly brewing in your mind.

Afterward, you bid farewell to Five Spirits Sanren and continued your travels in the Ancient Spirit World.

Sixty-third year.

You arrived at the Central Continent Cultivation World.

Although you temporarily spared Tang Chuan and Chu Han in this simulation, that didn't mean you would also let Gu Xunxian, who betrayed the Human Race, go.

You went straight to the Taichu Imperial Court. In front of many Cultivators of the Taichu Imperial Court, you killed the Tai Chu Emperor with a single palm strike on his Dragon throne.

Then, before the powerhouses of the Taichu Imperial Court could react, you left without a trace.

Sixty-fourth year.

You set up an altar and lectured on the Dao at Tianya Mountain in the Central Continent Cultivation World.

Cultivators who learned of your deeds in the Eastern Continent Cultivation World quickly surrounded the place, making it impenetrable.

You also, as usual, imparted several Cultivation Techniques and Divine Abilities to them.

Many Cultivators were grateful to you.

With the help of the Power of Leadership, your Cultivation received a slight boost.

But just as you were about to leave, a large hand reached out from the Void Realm and attacked you.

You knew the person was Gu Tianwei.

As a Peak Undergoing Tribulation Cultivator, he naturally wouldn't sit idly by while you killed his descendant.

However, it just so happened that you also wanted to use this opportunity to establish your authority.

You engaged in a great battle.

Under the horrified gazes of the crowd, you beat Gu Tianwei until he bled continuously and flew backward.

"Senior! Show mercy, please show mercy!"

"Hmph, scram!"

You ignored Gu Tianwei. Although he was like an ant in your eyes now, he was still a Peak Undergoing Tribulation Cultivator, with a certain hope of Breaking through to Mahayana. Perhaps he could provide some help in your plan.

But this scene was witnessed by many Cultivators seeking the Dao at Tianya Mountain.

Their reverence for you grew even stronger, and your Cultivation once again received a slight boost.
