719 The Source of Life and True Spirit (2)
Cui Heng’s eyes flickered with a bright silver color, and he instantly saw through the lives of these two Peak Immortal Kings. “The two of them were from the same sect when they were young. They’ve helped each other for dozens of Primeval Eras, but now, they’ve turned against each other. It’s really a pity. Hmm, going back further, their previous lives were actually entangled with fate. In this life, the party who took the initiative to turn against each other happened to be the party who was harmed in their previous life…”
This discovery made him fall into deep thought.
Cui Heng naturally did not stay behind to observe the battle between the two Peak Immortal Kings to stop them.
Instead, he wanted to test the effect of investigating the experiences of other living beings after breaking through to the Mid-stage Return to Void realm.
From the looks of it, his ability in this aspect had also greatly increased.
Not only could he watch the experiences of a certain living being in this life, but he could also look at their previous life.
Beyond that, was more lifetimes. It was only when one’s past was traced back to the time that his True Spirit was first born that he could no longer scry further.
During this process, Cui Heng realized that no matter how many times a person reincarnated, as long as they had the same True Spirit, there would always be some entanglements of fate that would create new opportunities in their next life.
He could not understand the reason yet, but through his observation of the various signs of the birth of the True Spirit, he had already discovered the source of the initial birth of the True Spirit.
Somewhere in the upper reaches of the River of Time.
After a True Spirit was born at the source, it would float down the River of Time and fall into different points in time, giving birth to different living beings.
However, with Cui Heng’s current realm and cultivation, he could not trace back to such an ancient era, so it was naturally difficult to see the original appearance of the source.
“In other words, be it the living beings of the Primordial World or the Boundless Chaos Sea, they were originally born from somewhere in the upper reaches of the River of Time.
Because that’s the source of the True Spirit, and the True Spirit is the foundation of life. The place where the True Spirit is born is the source of all living beings. Living beings… Was it the same for the Supreme God of Man back then?”
Cui Heng had a guess.
This was not impossible.
After all, the Supreme God of Man was born from the concept of “living beings”. It was normal for it to become the source of all living beings.
“But what about me?” Cui Heng suddenly frowned and thought to himself, “Where’s my source? Why can’t I trace my past to my time on Earth, nor can I find any traces of Earth’s existence?”
Just now, while speculating about the source of the living beings, he had also traced his existence and realized that his starting point was still the moment he walked out of the Beginner’s Space.
Not to mention the time on Earth, even the 300 years in the Beginner’s Space could not be traced.
This was a very strange phenomenon.
“Perhaps only by reaching a higher realm and further escaping the River of Time and grasping more time techniques can I obtain an answer.”
Cui Heng thought to himself.
To this day, he had inevitably begun to investigate the truth of his transmigration and the essence of his System.
After all, if he did not know this, he would probably not be omniscient.
“With my current cultivation realm, I’m still unable to touch the final truth. I have to continue exploring. However, everything in the Immortal King realm is already in my grasp. Without any mysteries, it’s difficult to gain anything.
Even a Peak Immortal King’s understanding of the Primordial World is relatively one-sided. It’s best if I can find a Quasi Immortal Emperor next. The past experiences of such an expert should be able to increase my cultivation realm by a lot.
After I fully investigated the Quasi Immortal Emperors, I’ll look for Immortal Emperors who have just entered the Heavenless Realm and so on. I’ll slowly cross to the Minor Completion, Grand Completion, and Perfection realm before finally trying to investigate the Immortal Ancestors’ past.
During this process, I have to increase the level of the Eon Light Evasion at the same time and hide myself with all my might. It’s best if no one can discover me when I cultivate to the Peak of the Return to Void Realm. This should be much safer.”
Cui Heng once again formulated a cultivation plan for himself.
Then, he ignored the two Peak Immortal Kings and continued walking forward, passing by the surrounding Immortal Kings and Immortal Monarchs who were fleeing at an extremely fast speed.
He also watched those people’s past experiences.
When Cui Heng left them far behind and arrived at the coast of the Immortal Advent Continent, he had already seen everyone’s past experiences.
To Mid-stage Return to Void cultivators, even Invincible Immortal Kings were like paintings drawn in books. All their experiences could be easily seen.
Unfortunately, most of these people’s cultivation realms were at the Immortal Monarch realm. The strongest was only a Top Immortal King.
Their experiences could not bring Cui Heng much unknown information, so the increase in his cultivation realm was naturally very limited.
Fortunately, these people knew more about the Immortal Advent Continent, allowing Cui Heng to learn a lot of information about it.
The overall framework of this continent was different from the continent where Immortal Emperor An Chen was. There were no tightly structured and functional forces. Instead, the entire continent was managed in the form of a sect.
The only ruler, Immortal Emperor Dongming, lived in Changming Palace and ruled over everything in the Immortal Continent.
There were nine High Sects controlled by nine Quasi Immortal Emperors, 36 Middle Sects and 72 Lower Sects controlled by Invincible Immortal Kings, and 3,000 orthodox sects and 10,000 unorthodox sects controlled by Peak Immortal Kings.
On the Immortal Advent Continent, other than the Changming Palace and the Nine High Sects, there was extremely intense competition among the other factions.
The 36 Middle Sects had to face the challenges of the 72 Lower Sects at all times, and the 3,000 orthodox sects also had to face the challenge of 10,000 unorthodox sects at all times. Once they were defeated, the status of the entire sect would decrease, and it would affect their treatment and authority in all aspects.
Therefore, the living environment of the cultivators on the Immortal Advent Continent was extremely harsh. Almost everyone who had reached a high realm had fought their way up. Countless corpses of the defeated had already fallen behind them. It was precisely this environment that made the cultivators on the Immortal Advent Continent famous for their outstanding combat strength.
“He’s simply raising Gu.” Cui Heng could not help but sigh.
This management method was clearly not to nurture experts of a higher realm, but to nurture mid to high-level fighters. The goal was to place them on the level of Invincible Immortal Kings.
After all, if one wanted to step into the Quasi Immortal Emperor realm, he had to see through the mysteries of time.
This was not something that could be achieved through battle experiences.
However, his emotions were only temporary. Cui Heng quickly confirmed his next goal.
“I’ll go to the Nine High Sects to take a look first.”
… .
When Cui Heng arrived at the Immortal Advent Continent, Emperor Wu had already brought Yan Qing to the Ninth Heaven’s Heaven Gate.
The so-called Nine Heavens was actually the Nine Heavens World established by the Nine Immortal Ancestors after they called themselves “Immortals”. Their goal was to be high and lofty and differentiate themselves from the living beings on the ground below.
The essence of the Ninth Heaven was extremely high, and the Great Dao laws were also extremely complicated. It was the essence of the Primordial World.
Under normal circumstances, only the Immortal Ancestors could step into the Ninth Heaven.
Other Immortal Emperors and Quasi-Immortal Emperors were only allowed to enter the Ninth Heaven after receiving the Immortal Ancestors’ invitation.
If they barged in without an invitation, Nine Heavens Immortal Thunder would immediately descend.
There were a total of nine bolts of Immortal Thunder.
Just the first bolt of Immortal Thunder was enough to severely injure a Quasi Immortal Emperor. The second bolt could destroy the body and soul of a Quasi Immortal Emperor. The third bolt could severely injure an Immortal Emperor at the Initial stage of the Heavenless Realm. The further one went, the stronger they would become.
At the ninth bolt of Immortal Thunder, even a Perfected Heavenless Immortal Emperor would be reduced to ashes.
However, as long as the Nine Heavens Immortal Thunder was triggered, it would actually be considered as disrespecting the Immortal Ancestors.
Therefore, before the entrance of the Ninth Heaven, they even set up a Heaven Gate checkpoint to be guarded by the Immortal Emperors under the Immortal Ancestors to prevent those who were not invited from approaching the Ninth Heaven.
As soon as Emperor Wu and Yan Qing arrived, they heard a thunderous shout.
“Stop, before the Ninth Heaven!!”
