Nameless Great Hall, One Day, One Year, Longing for Immortality!
"Perhaps the True Monarch Leiyin really has perished!"
Jiang Shu paused, his mind reeling with shock. Nirvana Realm True Lord was many times stronger than Essence Core Realm cultivator.
This difference is not merely a matter of the strength of supernatural powers.
No matter how deep one's cultivation reaches in the Essence Core Realm, one's lifespan is only a thousand years. If one's head is cut off, it cannot be restored; one can only Body Seizing's body.
However, without exception, all Nirvana Realm True Lord have mastered the profound mysteries of life Blood Rebirth, and can be reborn from a drop of blood. Even if their bodies are completely destroyed, as long as their Essence Blood exist, they can be resurrected infinitely. Battles between two Nirvana Realm are basically only decided by victory or defeat, and it is extremely rare for life and death to occur.
Normal Nirvana Realm True Lord, unless they encounter a major crisis, can almost all die peacefully in their old age.
Picking up the broken sword from the ground, Jiang Shu became even more cautious, slowing his pace.
He also knew that an island where even True Monarch Leiyin had perished was undoubtedly extremely dangerous. For an ordinary Origin Core Realm Master to enter would almost certainly mean certain death.
But danger can also represent opportunity!
If you want to improve your strength as quickly as possible and enter the Star Ruins Realm, cultivating step by step is just too slow!
Always keeping a close eye on everything around him, Jiang Shu held the Great Shift Talisman in his hand, while his mind was connected to the Panel, preparing to Two Worlds Travel.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The further you go, the stronger the wind howls. On the ground, there are no more abandoned ores and broken swords, only a huge suction force, eternal and unchanging.
Jiang Shu's body surged with Origin Power, forming a protective shield. He approached step by step, and gradually, a huge Abyss appeared before him.
At the edge of the Black Hole, there are some folded spaces that sway, seemingly far away yet also very close.
"According to the information provided by Han Zhiqing, although True Monarch Leiyin had reached the Nirvana Realm Middle Stage and survived the Wind Fire Tribulation, the one who was chasing him was a true peak- Shape Shifting."
"True Monarch Leiyin may have known about this perilous place during his previous training, and lured the great demon here so that they would either perish together or fight for survival."
"Unfortunately, they will most likely still perish there."
A series of thoughts flashed through Jiang Shu's mind. He stopped in his tracks, looked at the Abyss in front of him, mustered up great courage, took a step forward, and fell forward.
With the ability to Two Worlds Travel, even in the Abyss Nirvana Realm cultivators would perish, he could still have a glimmer of hope.
At worst, I can just go back to Xuanxing, wait in the Star Ruins Realm until I attain the state of Sitting and Forgetting, and then come back.
The world was completely silent.
Jiang Shu couldn't hear a single sound.
There wasn't a single color in sight.
Just like the Exclusion of Intelligence " described in the Sitting and Forgetting Realm, he completely lost his connection with heaven and earth.
Jiang Shu didn't know how much time had passed, but amidst the dizzying sensation, his consciousness seemed to sense a completely new world.
Light returns!
"Boom!"
With his feet on the ground, Jiang Shu opened his eyes and saw an incomparably vast and magnificent hall before him.
Directly in front of the hall are two terrifyingly lifelike beast-shaped statues. Each scale is made of Heaven Rank secret ore, and the eyes are taken directly from the true form of Transformation Great Demon.
All around, countless pillars stood tall, each one crafted from Origin Crystal, so extravagant that even some Nirvana Realm True Lord would gasp in amazement.
However, this magnificent hall was desolate. The Origin Crystal Pillars had no trace of the Origin Qi of heaven and earth, as if they were gradually dissipating with the passage of time.
The steps on the ground also bear various marks, and scattered discarded Treasure Artifact are piled up here like worthless bricks and stones.
What attracted Jiang Shu's attention even more than these abandoned Treasure Artifact were the skeletons.
"Where... where am I?!"
After immediately sensing the Panel and confirming that he could still Two Worlds Travel, Jiang Shu took a deep breath.
Having descended from the Abyss, he understood perfectly well that if he hadn't cultivated his mind and learned of the existence of the Sitting and Forgetting Realm, he would have been in dire straits.
In the darkness, one can gain insight into the Exclusion of Intelligence and ultimately perceive a glimmer of light in the vastness.
I'm afraid they've long been trapped in darkness, with no other way but to Two Worlds Travel.
For ordinary Origin Core Realm Master, death is the only outcome.
Only those Nirvana Realm can reach this place.
Those who have reached the Nirvana Realm are all powerful beings with a lifespan of three thousand years. Their physical bodies are very difficult to decay, and even after ten thousand years, they will remain well-preserved.
How could it be that all that's left here are piles of bones?
Putting aside his doubts for the moment, Jiang Shu strolled through the main hall, passing by each skeleton, searching for anything of value.
Unfortunately, this grand hall seems to have existed forever, having witnessed tens of thousands of years. All the treasures have gradually returned to ordinary status in the long river of time.
"These should be the remains of True Monarch Leiyin. The Heaven Rank sword in his hand and the broken sword I found are from the same source. However, the broken sword I found outside still has the possibility of being reforged, but the sword here, although well preserved, has lost all its spirituality, and the Treasure Pattern within it have been completely annihilated."
Jiang Shu picked up a longsword and flicked it lightly, turning the entire sword into dust.
"Either this place has a special restriction that Absolute Earth-Heaven Severance, making all the Treasure Artifact and the cultivation of cultivators like water without a source, ultimately leading to their destruction without the nourishment of the Origin Qi of heaven and earth."
"Or perhaps the flow of time here is different from the outside world. No matter how powerful Nirvana Realm is, even if Blood Rebirth, they will still only have a lifespan of three thousand years. Once their lifespan is over, they will not be able to Vientiane and will eventually pass away."
"What could possibly be truly eternal? No wonder all the powerful beings in the Cosmos enter the Star Ruins Realm."
"Even if you reach the Forget Realm Stage Sitting and Forgetting Realm, and it is said that space is created and heaven and earth are immortal and I am immortal, heaven and earth will eventually decay one day."
"In the vast and Primal Chaos Realm Vast Desolate Domain, above the Myriad Ten Thousand Manifestations Realm lies the Chaos Realm, yet even those who reach the age of ten thousand years will not live to see it. They appear to be incredibly powerful and invincible, but they are the Sect Master."
"How long can I survive here?"
Shaking his head, Jiang Shu was almost certain of his two conjectures, and for the first time, a longing for eternity arose in his heart. He picked up a bottle of pills from the ground, and sure enough, pills that could be preserved for thousands of years in the outside world had long since been weathered into dust here.
"Without immortality, no matter how high one's cultivation level, one will eventually become a handful of dust."
Looking at the skeletons before him, he thought of how these were once formidable Nirvana Realm True Lord, who ruled over a region and commanded the archipelago.
Jiang Shu felt a sense of desolation. No wonder some cultivators, when they realized they had no hope of achieving the Great Dao, would choose to return to the mortal world and start their own families.
Without achieving immortality, the ultimate outcome is death.
After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Shu finally circled the entire main hall. Deep inside the hall, there was only a huge stone gate, which seemed to connect to some passage or perhaps the exit.
The closer Jiang Shu got to the stone gate, the more he could feel the boundless, inexplicable power of his spiritual energy.
It feels as if taking just one more step would completely captivate you, leaving you utterly enthralled and unable to extricate yourself.
Indeed, there were many more skeletons lying in front of the stone gate.
The Nirvana Realm True Lord who rules over the archipelago in the Endless Sea Domain.
Transformation Great Demon into human form.
Inside this great hall, they are nothing but a bunch of pathetic creatures who want to get out.
"If this main hall really does have a different flow of time as I guessed, then I don't need to rush to find out how to get out."
"Although I have condensed the Mystical Power Great Elixir and reached the Essence Core Realm, my accumulation is still insufficient. Many of my divine powers are only at the minor completion stage. I can accumulate Origin Power and refine my divine powers in this hall."
"The first thing we need to figure out now is how much time is passing here."
"As for leaving, we'll consider it when we reach the late stage of the Essence Core Realm. If there's really no way out, we'll just return to Xuanxing and train in the Star Ruins Realm. Just because Nirvana Realm cultivator can't leave doesn't mean that those in the Forget Form Stage or the Forget Realm Stage can't leave either."
"Especially the Forget Realm Stage, which can almost open up one Small World after another, completely controlling space. No matter how terrifying this hall is, it is impossible to trap such a being."
With a thought, Jiang Shu Two Worlds Travel and returned to the Xia Kingdom. He chatted with his parents for a while, and after twelve hours, he traveled again, waiting for the time to cool down.
Repeat this process.
Finally, when they entered the main hall for the second time.
"I spent a full twelve hours in this hall, but when I returned to Xuanxing, it showed that only two minutes had passed since I last left! That's almost equivalent to 360 to 1."
"One year of cultivation here is equivalent to one day of cultivation outside!"
"This is not a deadly place at all; it is an excellent place for me to cultivate!"
"Other Origin Core Realm Master cannot absorb the Origin Qi of heaven and earth here and cannot continue their cultivation."
"But in my Fetal Breathing Realm, I condense Holy Embryo and can draw Origin Qi from other dimensions. The supply from three Holy Embryo is enough to support all my cultivation in the Essence Core Realm."
"Not to mention, I can also Two Worlds Travel and obtain various cultivation Secret Mineral Crystal from Xuanxing."
Jiang Shu's voice echoed throughout the hall, revealing an barely suppressed excitement.
It should be noted that even if one reaches the Eighth Layer of the Eternal Tower in the Star Ruins Realm, the time flow rate is only 256 to 1.
Only by reaching the Ninth Layer can one surpass this great hall.
Even if I have now entered the Star Ruins Realm and successfully passed through the Eternal Tower in the inner circle, how many floors can I reach?
Nothing can compare to the cultivation in this grand hall.
The only drawback is that the Eternal Tower is Secret Land in the Star Ruins Realm, with enough spiritual Origin Qi and the freedom to enter and exit at will.
This main hall is Absolute Earth-Heaven Severance. If he hadn't cultivated his Mind System, he would probably only be able to rely on the resources of Xuanxing to cultivate now, given his limited ability to form a core in the Vast Desolate Domain.
The speed of cultivation will undoubtedly slow down considerably.
Without thinking any further, Jiang Shu sat cross-legged. On the Panel, he had mastered various supernatural abilities from a young age and pushed them to their Limit Break.
He also refined various precious materials and resources on Xuanxing into various Treasure Artifact, which, with the blessing of the Earth Rank Myriad Treasures Horizontal and Vertical Fusion Art, were integrated into his body.
A year of training.
In the outside world, it's just the passing of a day!
As Jiang Shu's supernatural abilities were constantly refined, the Origin Core he was condensing was also being continuously compressed, with a massive amount of Origin Power condensing within it.
Ten years.
Advancement from the early stage of the Essence Core Realm to the middle stage of the Essence Core Realm!
Jiang Shu had perfected the Void Myriad Flow Bodyguard Seal.
At this moment, Jiang Shu had no distracting thoughts and was fully focused on cultivation.
His time in spiritual practice was far too short.
Without the guidance of renowned teachers and without sufficient resources.
Although, as things stand now, his strength is indeed greater than that of some disciples of the same realm from other sects.
But compared to the true core members of the sect, each of them possesses power far exceeding his.
Without exception, all the inner disciple who were striving to reach the Nirvana Realm compressed their Origin Core original core) even further.
He cultivated his supernatural powers again and again, striving to perfect each one.
How can one succeed without sufficient time and fortuitous opportunity?
Now, time and fortuitous opportunity are both in front of Jiang Shu!
This was Tianji that belonged exclusively to him.
Even if Nirvana Realm True Lord were to arrive, he would be unable to cultivate and would become just another corpse among the piles of bones.
Only Jiang Shu, through the breathing of the Holy Embryo, gathered Origin Qi.
Two Worlds Travel allows one to replenish oneself when tired or hungry.
Time passes.
On the island.
Han Zhiqing spent nearly half a month setting up a hidden Grand Array in the area bordering the inner perimeter of the Endless Sea Domain, which was truly terrifying.
Several times, she saw Demon Beast at the peak of the Inner Core Realm flying through the sky.
With her abilities, if she were discovered, she might truly face certain death.
Fortunately, this island really is like a dead end.
There was no sign of life. As long as I hid myself well, how could a dead island attract any Demon Beast?
"I really don't know which genius in the Island Master that island lord is."
"He really dared to kill an inner disciple of the Dao One Sect!"
Han Zhiqing murmured to herself, officially beginning her first day of cultivation on the island.
At this time.
Deep within the island, beneath the Abyss, inside the grand hall.
Jiang Shu has been cultivating for fifteen years.
One by one, the Treasure Artifact floated around Jiang Shu, refined by the Five Elements Yin Yang Cauldron.
Each of the Treasure Artifact radiated a unique brilliance, perfectly matching the radiance emanating from Jiang Shu.
Supernatural Power: The Myriad Treasures Horizontal and Vertical Fusion Art!
As Two Worlds Travel, all sorts of materials from Xuanxing were transported over by Jiang Shu, and the entire hall was transformed into his own special cultivation cave abode.
Sometimes he forges weapons, sometimes he refines elixirs, and sometimes he cultivates his skills.
He was so engrossed in it that he almost forgot the passage of time.
He relentlessly explored every potential supernatural ability, utilizing the characteristics of the Panel to grind until it Limit Break.
The Mystical Power Great Elixir located in the Dantian still appears to possess thirty-six divine powers.
Its actual power was many times greater than before entering the main hall.
"After another five years of cultivation, the Myriad Treasures Horizontal and Vertical Fusion Art has reached perfection. Once I return to Xuanxing again, I can try to completely Limit Break of this Earth Rank divine ability."
