Chapter 382: 382 The Path of Celestial Being (Request for Monthly Tickets)
“…The palace maiden chose death over submission, committing suicide on the spot. Subsequently, all the maidens woke up together. Before you could react, they triggered a powerful prohibition, resulting in your immediate death at the age of twenty-three.]
Such an unexpected mishap.
Five hundred energy points!
Gu Yang felt somewhat pained. After all, eliminating a third-level Unleaking Realm took only 500 energy points.
In today’s Great Zhou, practitioners at this level could be counted with just two hands.
It could only be said that in places like Yao Chi Immortal Palace, every attempt comes with risks.
His natural inclination was to gather intelligence from the palace maidens, and he didn’t have to think it through consciously. As a result, that’s exactly what he did during the simulation.
However, such attempts provide valuable insights.
At least it shows one thing: the palace maidens are fiercely loyal to Yao Chi Immortal Palace. Forcing them to reveal information seems nearly impossible.
After summarizing his experiences, Gu Yang prepared for the second simulation.
Since he knew that Yao Chi was among the thirty-three heavens and was second only to the three heavenly worlds, he was interested in advancing there.
According to the previous simulation, if he triggered the prohibition of Yao Chi Immortal Palace, he would be trapped inside for many years, given that he doesn’t make a misstep.
Inside, there would be plenty of time to comprehend the Way of Heaven in that place.
As the principal stated, the key to achieving the Celestial Being realm lies in finding a Way of Heaven that matches one’s attributes and comprehending the profound truth within it.
As for what is the profound truth, it is mysterious and can’t be accurately described in words; it needs to be understood personally.
Take Gu Yang for example, he has been practicing the Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens, a fire-attributed method. Therefore, he’s required to seek a fire-related Way of Heaven.
Comparatively, the “Nine Heavens Divine Method” is indeed ingenious.
This method doesn’t require the comprehension of the Way of Heaven. Ancient divine beasts naturally formed their world. As long as they keep growing, a complete Way of Heaven law will be produced inside them.
All that’s needed is an adequate amount of essence blood. Once accumulated to a certain degree, the individual would naturally begin to comprehend the law of their bloodline and break through on their own.
From this, one can see how blessed these ancient divine beasts are compared to humans, their starting point is innumerable times higher.
However, given that divine creatures are naturally stronger than humans, is it really possible to control multiple beasts simultaneously with this method?
Among them are divine beasts from the ancient age, and there are nine different types.
These include the phoenix, the sovereign of ancient times, and Taiyin Youying, the once highest deity of West Bank Continent.
Controlling nine beings of such natures all at once sounds rather unrealistic.
He was doubtful that once the clones of these divine beasts reached a certain realm, they might regain consciousness, awaken their self-awareness and instead consume his original spirit.
After obtaining the “Taixuan Heavenly Book”, Gu Yang had a deeper understanding of the way of cultivation in ancient times, and he grew more in awe of the system of cultivation from the ancient era.
The “Nine Heavens Divine Method” is indeed mysterious and complex. Many of its contents are beyond the imagination of a typical cultivator at the realm of Celestial Being, based on his current insights.
The creator of this method must have been a powerful figure from the ancient era.
The most valuable parts are surprisingly the God Refining Chapter and the Deity Commanding Chapter, which appear the least noteworthy.
The God Refining Chapter provides a way to refine the Original Spirit. Even in the “Taixuan Heavenly Book”, there is no better way to cultivate the Original Spirit.
The Deity Commanding Chapter is even more remarkable; it can divide the spirit into nine parts.
In the “Taixuan Heavenly Book”, the most advanced technique of dividing one’s spirit only allows for the creation of three divisions.
The creator of the “Nine Heavens Divine Method” cannot be an ordinary being.
He thought of the corpse below the palace. Perhaps, it was a significant figure in the ancient times.
….
Since Gu Yang recognized the potential danger of this method, he naturally will not rush to elevate those divine beasts to the realm of Celestial Beings.
It’s best to elevate his own cultivation first.
[Will you use the life simulator? Using it once will consume five hundred energy points.]
“Yes.”
[Twenty-three years old…]
[…You are trapped in Yao Chi Immortal Palace, cultivating bitterly for ten years…]
[…At the age of thirty-five years.]
Indeed, as long as he doesn’t stir up any trouble, he can safely linger in Yao Chi Immortal Palace for over ten years.
[The simulation ends…]
[…]
“I choose choice two.”
After making his choice, Gu Yang felt something was amiss shortly.
“Why isn’t it here?”
In his martial arts experience and comprehension, there is no trace of the profound truth, not even a bit.
“Impossible.”
Is his aptitude so bad?
He got nothing out of ten years!
There must be a problem somewhere.
He wasted another chance for simulation, which hurts him greatly.
Maybe Yao Chi Immortal Palace is not suitable for comprehension.
Maybe Yao Chi Immortal Palace is not a whole immortal world as he expected.
Gu Yang shook his head, “It seems that self-exploration is too inefficient. I need to ask others for help.”
In cultivation, in addition to theoretical support, experience is also needed.
The former is the Way, the latter is the method, and neither can be neglected.
As for whom to consult, he already has a target in mind.
Having thought that far, he turned around and flew back to Divine City.
…
……
The royal palace, the same well.
Gu Yang decided to consult the corpse beneath the earth.
Despite the dubious intentions, he could not find any other suitable person.
Even just asking would be a good reference.
At this point, he especially missed the mysterious elder he had encountered in Dragon Gate Island and Yellow Springs Cave. Although the elder was also mysterious in origin and had an unfathomable realm, he was far friendlier.
While Gu Yang was thinking, he arrived at the bottom of the earth.
Without Su Ningyan’s summoning, the corpse under Jiuding drilled out from the earth, his eyes twinkling with two ghostly lights, staring straight at him, and said in a hoarse, unpleasant voice, “We meet again, youngster.”
Out of courtesy, Gu Yang bowed, “Greetings to my senior.”
“I didn’t think I would miscalculate. Your progress is so fast that I thought my sense of time was off.”
“Senior is flattering me, I’m here today to ask about matters regarding the realm of Celestial Being.”
“Celestial Being…”
