Chapter 853 The Immortal Path That Was Cut Off (1/2)

For the next two days, the ten members of the Heaven Alliance were divided into two groups.

A team of three stayed in Gushan City mainly to source for information while the other group of seven was a.s.signed the task to hunt for items. They came to an agreement whereby the seven of them would share the items they found with all ten of them aside from the monster carca.s.ses that they obtained.

Lin Huang chose to stay in Gushan City where he was responsible for collecting information at the library.

For the past two days, apart from the library closing at night, Lin Huang practically did not leave the library at all. With b.l.o.o.d.y's help, he was wading through a sea of information rapidly each day.

This world had a completely different cultivation system compared to the outside world.

In the outside world, life wheel-level cultivators were called ”mortal-levels” in this world. The more common name for them would be ”warriors”.

People on one level higher, which was holy fire-level, were called ”mortal transformation-levels” there.

Meanwhile, immortal-levels were called ”ascendance-levels”.

People on the next level, which was imperial-level, were called ”human immortals”.

Lin Huang read about even higher levels which were the earth immortals and the celestial immortals. He speculated that those were Virtual G.o.ds and True G.o.ds in the outside world.

Since the ancient books had such complete recording on different levels, Lin Huang was sure that there must have been Virtual G.o.ds and even True G.o.ds in this world. However, he was not sure if there were any now.

Ever since they entered the foggy area, the most powerful local powerhouse that Lin Huang and the rest had seen was just ascendance-level which was the same as immortal-level. They did not even see a single human immortal (imperial-level).

Full of doubts, Lin Huang skimmed through many other books, but he did not find any explanation about the disappearance of human immortals. Eventually, he had to ask Lu Wen about it.

Hearing the question, Lu Wen looked at him rather oddly, but he explained anyway, ”You should know that people on ascendance-level will have to go on the Immortal Path to obtain immortal roots in order to elevate to human immortal-level, don't you?”

”I know that.” Naturally, Lin Huang knew about the requirement to get to human immortal-level. ”We've never seen any human immortals until now. Is it because it's difficult to go on the Immortal Path?”

”Difficulty isn't the only factor…” Lu Wen looked helpless as he let out a long sigh while shaking his head. ”Throughout these tens of thousands of years, n.o.body came back alive after taking the Immortal Path. Not even one!”

”How can that be?!” Lin Huang was shocked to hear that.

”Aside from humans, the same goes for those demons too. Everyone who goes on the Immortal Path goes missing,” Lu Wen continued further, ”There has been a rumor in the past 1,000 years that the Immortal Path in our world has been cut off.”

”You mean there are no human immortals in this entire world?” Lin Huang queried immediately.

”I'm not sure if there're any now.” Lu Wen shook his head, feeling helpless. ”All I know is that there were human immortals in this world tens of thousands of years ago. Even more potent powerhouses existed. But one day, all the powerhouses above human immortal-level vanished out of nowhere. Later on, something happened to the Immortal Path. Since then, n.o.body has ever elevated to human immortal again. The stars above seemed to be cut off as well, so there's no way for human immortals to elevate to earth immortals.”

”People on mortal transformation-level live up to 1,800 years, while ascendance-levels can go up to 3,000 years. No matter how powerful a human immortal is, he can only live up to 10,000 years. In order to live, they have to seal themselves. Since then, there've been fewer and fewer human immortals in this world. Now that tens of thousands of years have pa.s.sed, n.o.body knows if those human immortals who sealed themselves are still alive. Furthermore, there are no longer any ascendance-level powerhouses who dare to go on the Immortal Path now.”

”Didn't any human immortal try to take the Immortal Path to see what went wrong?” Lin Huang could not help but ask.

”Of course, there were. Many human immortals volunteered to take a look at it when the Immortal Path went wrong. But just like the ascendance-levels, none of them come back alive.”

Speaking to Lu Wen provided Lin Huang much more information that was not recorded on the books.

However, he had yet to confirm whether there were still any living human immortals in this world.
