The Heaven-Repelling Realm was difficult to surpass; countless powerhouses of the Era Realm had proven this. Although Nie Yun was confident he could break through that barrier, it would certainly take a long time—and time would not allow it!
He had to reach the Heaven-Repelling Realm before he could undergo the ninth nirvana. Just what kind of technique was this Nine Revolutions Nirvana Art?
"It hasn't appeared..."
The expectation on Ephemeral Old Man's face immediately sank. Clearly, even he found this result rather strange.
Logically speaking, the Heaven-Repelling Realm should have been the strongest level in all heaven and earth. The ninth nirvana of the Nine Revolutions Nirvana Art should have been meant to break through this realm—so why was that not the case?
"Senior Ephemeral Old Man, who exactly created this Nine Revolutions Nirvana Art? Why does even someone like you seem not to understand it?"
Nie Yun asked in confusion.
Earlier, Ephemeral Old Man had said that the Nine Revolutions Nirvana Art and the Spirit Rhinoceros Body Refining Technique were crystallizations of the wisdom of countless powerful experts, and that he himself had participated in their creation. If that was so, then as one of its creators, he should surely have been able to find a way to trigger nirvana.
"This cultivation art was indeed created by a group of old monsters like us back then. It's just that... after cultivating it to this point, yours has mutated. It has become different from what we originally created! In the past, even if you could not sense the time for the ninth nirvana, I could have helped trigger it. But now, it is no longer possible! After being cultivated by you, this art has completely fused with the imprint of your soul and become your unique method of cultivation.
