Vol 28 Chapter 8 (1/2)
Book 28, Archaeus Region, Chapter 8 – The Hope of the Cultivators
The enorions Within a jail cell located in one particular corner of the prison, Ji Ning’s group of five was staring at that skinny, elderly prisoner
“I was captured and brought to this place six hundred years ago, after I travelled through the spacetime transfer array and arrived at the Sacred Immortal Realm” The skinny old man’s eyes were filled with a reminiscent look as he said softly, “Ever since then, I’ve been imprisoned here I’ve suffered countless torments Some cultivators chose to self-detonate because they were unable to endure the o back to the Mortal Realm”
Ning’s group all frowned Solewind asked, “Do you know nothing about the rest of this Sacred Immortal Realm?”
The skinny old man shook his head “I know very little We’ve been trapped here this entire time”
“Do you know about the ‘master’ which these devils who torture you serve?” Solewind asked
The skinny man trembled as a look of terror appeared in his eyes “He… he’s theAfter I was imprisoned here, I saw him visit the prison on two separate occasions He used a terrifying spell to personally torture us Countless cultivators were simultaneously tortured at the sa”
“Twice? He visited the prison twice in the past six hundred years?” Solewind’s face tightened slightly
“He corowled
“We have to be careful Who knohen this Daolord will appear again?” Ning said solemnly He didn’t dare to spread out his own Godsense, as once he did that it would be very easy for their foe to detect them
Prince Greatjoy suddenly frowned “I ask you this The ancient transfer array activates once every century, which means that an utter flood of cultivators has been sent over here over the course of many years If the torment never comes to an end… why are so many of you still alive? If you know that life will be worse than death, and that you will be subject to perpetual agony with no way of fighting back, why are you still enduring?”
Ning and the others were intrigued Right When faced with overwhel despair, and the prospect of never-ending torture, ouldn’t they choose to die? Logically speaking, most would rather commit suicide than to continue like this
“Because we are going to get revenge,” the skinny old rowled, his eyes filled with fury and hate
“You? How?” Prince Greatjoy was puzzled
“If we can ascend, we can leave this place” The skinny old , I will become a Celestial Immortal and will be able to continue to cultivate In the future, after I grow stronger, I’ll definitely coe”
Heartlord Solewind asked, “Ascend? If you ascend, you’ll be able to escape the Sacred Immortal Realm?”
Ning and the others were all puzzled Logically speaking, ‘ascension’ should represent ascending into an estate-world of a Daolord
“Those who ascend can indeed escape,” the skinny old o, before our Mortal Realm even had that ancient transfer array, it was somewhat easier for cultivators to train to the late Apotheosis stage In the Mortal Realm, there were soe, and once they did the Celestial Tribulation would soon descend upon them After the tribulation, they would ascend to a land of Immortals
“Later, cultivation in the Mortal Realm became more difficult However, the ancient transfer array then appeared, and soh it and go to the Sacred Immortal Realm Some of them even came back and then told their descendants and juniors that the Sacred Immortal Realm was a holy place for cultivation with incredibly dense eleenerations of cultivators have come to this place
“Only after entering did we realize that it was all just a trick” The skinny old ritted his teeth
Ning and the other four were all extraordinary figures They immediately understood what had happened
Long ago, before the ‘Mortal Realm’ was discovered by that Daolord, cultivation was a much si up to protect the continent from the spatial story in the continent to grow sparse,cultivation much more difficult The ancient transfer array then appeared, followed by some cultivators ere soul-compelled to return from this ‘Sacred Immortal Realm’ and widely spread rumors of hoonderful it was
It was only natural that more and more cultivators would be drawn to enter it
“It was all a plot In truth, in the Mortal Realeniuses to reach the late-stage Apotheosis level, then successfully overcome their tribulations and ascend” The skinny elder continued, “But it truly is very, very difficult The Mortal Realm is unfathomably vast, but only a handful of people each century can achieve their goals and ascend That is e all entered this Sacred Immortal Realm”
The skinny elder shook his head “Although we are iy in this world is far denser than it was in ours It isn’t too hard to reach the late-stage of the Apotheosis level However, once those devils notice us reaching that stage, they’ll immediately strike and kill us! Thus, we have to accumulate as much power as possible We need to build up so e of the Apotheosis level, the Celestial Tribulation will immediately descend By then, those devils won’t be able to do anything to us”
Ning and the others were quite curious
“So as long as you cause a Celestial Tribulation, you’ll be out of danger?”
“Once the Celestial Tribulation comes, they would never dare to interfere! All they would do is stand off to one side and watch Even if that devil lord came himself, he would just watch from afar Anyone who succeeds in the tribulation would iendary Immortal Lands,” the skinny elder said
As Ning and the others questioned hist themselves
Generally speaking, in places like the Three Realht pose a threat to ordinary cultivators, but it definitely wouldn’t be able threaten a World-level cultivator! A World-level cultivator would be capable of annihilating the entire Three Real to him? By the same principle, it was impossible for a Celestial Tribulation to threaten a Daolord! Even if a Celestial Tribulation did descend, a Daolord could forcibly intervene and completely destroy the tribulation
