Chapter 366 - Chapter 366: 366 Thirty-Three Heavens (2/2)
Before he entered, he had used a simulation to ensure that there would be no danger, which enabled him to embark on this journey to the Water Moon cave heaven.
Ye Lingbo said nothing more after that.
In a short while, they arrived at the top floor. Ye Lingbo opened the entrance to the Water Moon cave heaven, and the two of them stepped in.
…
Ancient Sword Mountain, atop the main peak, stood an ancient sword hall.
This was the core of the Ancient River Sword Sect, where the Sect leader resided.
A middle-aged man in a purple robe was nurturing his sword in meditation. Suddenly, the archaic long sword in his hand started to vibrate violently.
He opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing in his pupils, “He dares to show himself again!”
Previously, he did not pay much mind to the death of a true lineage disciple.
But now that a mountain lord had been murdered, he could no longer turn a blind eye to it.
The Ancient River Sword Sect had only nine mountain lords. The death of the Bihanshan lord was a significant loss to the sect.
Moreover, if they couldn’t retaliate for a mountain lord being killed, how would others perceive the Ancient River Sword Sect?
He waved his large sleeves, scattering beams of light that raced out towards various peaks.
A moment later, several beams of sword light returned. All the present bee lords of the Sect had gathered.
One of the peak lords asked, “What is so urgent, Sect leader, that you called for all of us?”
The Sect leader said coldly, “The murderer who killed Brother Li has appeared again. I request you all to take actions and kill this beast to avenge Brother Li.”
Once the peak lords heard this, they all responded, “We shall follow the Sect leader’s command.”
Then, after the four peak lords on the scene understood the location of the murderer that had slain the Bihanshan lord, they left with murderous intent.
Four streams of light flew out from Ancient Sword Mountain, a piece of news that quickly spread throughout the world.
As one of the well-known major sects, countless eyes were watching this place. Thus, such a major action naturally couldn’t escape the knowledge of others.
Of course, the Ancient River Sword Sect never intended to keep it hidden from others.
The news of the death of the Bihanshan lord had already spread throughout the world.
Everyone knew that one of the nine major peak lords of the Ancient River Sword Sect was killed by a wandering cultivator.
This caused a severe blow to the prestige of the Ancient River Sword Sect.
They had to regain their honor.
“Junior Sister, you all have already seen brother Li’s body. That strange injury is not like anything from this world. It is probably similar to that woman, who comes from a foreign domain.”
The speaker was a man dressed in black, the Nine Rivers peak lord. When he mentioned “that woman,” his expression became rather solemn.
The Junior Sister he referred to, the Red Maple peak lord, had the best relationship with Bihanshan lord. Originally, it was her who lent the mysterious light shield to the Bihanshan lord.
Her desire for revenge was the most intense.
Her cultivation level was at the late stage of the Nascent Soul, second only to the Sect leader. Therefore, this operation naturally took her leading role.
“Brother had the protection of the mysterious light shield. That person could kill Brother, so naturally, I will not underestimate him. After catching up with him, we will lay out the Four Images Sword Formation and kill him off.”
The Red Maple peak lord acted very calm. She was not blinded by hatred.
She was well aware of how dangerous those people from the foreign domain were.
A few years ago, the peerless sword seedling of Tianyuan Sect nearly fell into the hands of that woman.
The third peak lord raised a question, “How did these foreign domain people come here?”
The Nine Rivers peak lord said, “I have flipped over many of the sect’s oldest books. According to the records, our world here is known as Water Moon cave heaven, which is one of the thirty-three heavens …”
“Hey, Water Moon cave heaven, isn’t that saying that the Water Moon Sect is the owner of this world? Aren’t you boosting their morale, Junior Brother?”
“This is recorded in the books, not something I made up …”
“Enough.”
The Red Maple peak interrupted their argument and asked, “You mean, that woman, and the murderer who killed Brother Li, are from one of the other thirty-two heavens?”
“Not really. According to the book’s records, a great cataclysm occurred a thousand years ago, affecting the entire world. Just when it seemed like … this world was about to collapse, several great powers joined forces and severed the connection with the other worlds.”
“You should all know that according to ancient legends, this world was vast and boundless, dozens or even hundreds of times larger than our present territory. It’s because of that catastrophe, that the great powers could only manage to save this piece of land.”
“Although this world has become independent, disconnected from the thirty-two other heavens, its connection with the human realm remains, which cannot be severed. Therefore, those two people can only possibly be from the human realm.”
Red Maple peak lord repeated, “Human Realm? If that’s true, the thirty-three heavens would be equivalent to the immortal realm for the human realm …”
Nine Rivers peak lord gave a bitter smile, “After that ancient cataclysm a thousand years ago, the path to immortality was severed. One can only cultivate to the Spiritual Transformation Realm at most. Where else could there be an Immortal realm?”
Suddenly, everyone fell silent.
This topic was somewhat heavy. There are numerous ancient legends in this world. Several sects still retain some cultivation methods and books.
They naturally knew that the Spiritual Transformation period was only a human immortal, above which were Earth Immortal, Celestial Immortal, and even Da Luo Golden Immortal.
However, in the cultivation world nowadays, you can only cultivate to the Spiritual Transformation period at most. It is indeed said that the path to immortality has been severed.
The Spiritual Transformation period only has a life span of about two thousand years. Once its time comes, even if your divine power is invincible, you’ll still perish.
Eternal life?
It only exists in the ancient legends.
Suddenly, the Red Maple peak lord shouted, “Found him, set up the formation.”
The other three Nascent Souls reacted extremely quickly, instantly setting up a great Four Images formation.
