The Ascension Plan: What the Ancestral Star Realm's Natives Knew About the Immortal Cultivation Realm!
National Security Bureau National Security Protection Bureau!
It also has an English name, GYP.
Upon seeing this English abbreviation, Ling Yi couldn't help but mutter, "Get lost, sir!"
"Ahem, this name is for foreigners; they have a hard time learning Chinese!" Wei Yuan said with a dry cough.
Ling Yi returned the documents to Wei Yuan.
Then he said, "You seem to know a lot about the trial participants!"
"Records of those who underwent the trials date back more than three thousand years. According to deciphered ancient historical bamboo slips, First Emperor of Qin once captured a group of these trials."
"We already knew at that time that the trial participants were cultivators."
"That group of cultivators constantly waged wars in order to Refinement the souls of living beings."
"In the end, they angered First Emperor of Qin, who devised a plan to capture all those trial participants."
"But we only managed to get a few things out of them. We intended to torture them, but they used magic and disappeared."
As he spoke, Wei Yuan pointed to the ring on Ling Yi's left index finger.
"It must have been those trial participants who used the Trial Ring to return to the Immortal Cultivation Realm, but the First Emperor didn't know any of this; he only knew that they had used immortal techniques."
"After that, the First Emperor frantically searched for immortal mountains and islands, believing that these immortal mountains were in this world, but naturally he found nothing in the end."
Ling Yi was somewhat dumbfounded. So, the reason why the First Emperor sent people out to sea to search for immortal mountains and islands was actually this?
"Then how do you know so much about the trial participants?" Ling Yi asked.
"Some trial participants are very clever; they want to acquire high-level resources, but their individual abilities are limited. If they go too far, they will face suppression from the authorities."
"Therefore, we will choose to cooperate with the official channels."
"For example, during the war six months ago, some trial participants proactively sought cooperation and were of great help."
"They only Refinement the souls of invaders. That time, the cooperation with the heartbroken was very pleasant, and both sides were satisfied."
"However, that group of trial participants were not from the Immortal-Gazing Sect of the Eastern Continent, but from the Heavenly Yang Sect of the Northern Continent."
"Which factions do the trial participants come from?" Ling Yi asked curiously.
"They are mainly divided into five factions: the Immortal-Gazing Sect of the Eastern Continent, the Green Maple Sect of the Western Mainland, the Mystic Heaven Sect of the Southern Continent, the Heavenly Yang Sect of the Northern Continent, and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect of the Central Continent."
"Besides these, there was also a group of trial participants called the Ten Thousand Demons Sect."
"These disciples of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect have gone too far, slaughtering humans with Wuji."
"But they're too arrogant, thinking we're ants they can easily manipulate."
"As a result, a fully armed ten-man squad drove them all away."
At this point, Wei Yuan's expression became more serious.
"Our world is merely a testing ground for the Immortal Realm above, Hunting ground, and our own vegetable garden."
"They can come and go as they please."
Fortunately, our world belongs to the Spiritless Small World.
"There are almost no resources left for these cultivation sects to Plunder at will."
"Moreover, our technology is developing faster and faster, and we have more and more methods to deal with the trial participants."
"A cultivator who is only at the second or third level of Qi Refining is not yet fully Transcendent."
"Moreover, their Spiritual Power is limited; every bit used is a bit less."
"Completely inadequate in the face of technological superiority."
The National Security Bureau really knows the test takers.
In fact, he knows more about the Great Wilderness Realm than ordinary cultivators in the Great Wilderness Realm.
For example, the Immortal-Gazing Sect of the Eastern Continent only knows that there are Five Continents, but most of them don't know which sect manages the Teleport Array in the lower realm on each continent.
On the contrary, the Ancestral Star Realm has a very clear understanding of the overall situation of the Great Wilderness Realm.
"Only trial participants from the Great Wilderness Realm have appeared?" Ling Yi thought of another question.
I've heard that fat guy Zhang Erfan say that there are countless Lesser Small Thousand World, trillions of Middle Thousand World, three thousand Great Thousand World, nine Primordial World, three Chaos World, and only one Great Primordial World.
The Great Wilderness Realm belongs to the Great Thousand World.
One in three thousand.
If every world had Teleport Array that allowed people to descend to the lower realms.
The number of trial participants or cultivators who could appear in the Ancestral Star Realm should not be limited to just the Great Wilderness Realm.
Unless, under each Great Thousand World, there are subordinate entities and World Domain.
" The Great Wilderness Realm? Is that what you call your world?"
"No, that's what I call the Immortal Cultivation Realm."
"Oh, we call your world the Five Continents World."
Five Continents?
That's quite fitting.
"So, in other words, the Ancestral Star Realm has only ever seen cultivators from the Great Wilderness Realm?"
" The Ancestral Star Realm, is that what you call our world?"
"That's what I call this world."
Wei Yuan glanced at Ling Yi with a meaningful look in his eyes.
Then he continued, " Ancestral Star Realm, a nice name."
"You're right, only five, oh, five, trial participants from the Great Wilderness Realm have ever appeared in our world."
"What do you mean by asking this?"
Ling Yi carefully considered his words: "You should know about the world hierarchy, right?"
"From three-dimensional to nine-dimensional world?"
"No, it's the Small Thousand World, the Middle Thousand World, and the Great Thousand World!"
Wei Yuan shook his head.
"I've read about it in novels, but I've never heard any of the trial participants mention it, or rather, none of the trial participants we've encountered know about it."
Ling Yi nodded.
It seems that Zhang Erfan is no ordinary person!
"Then, according to this method of classifying Small Thousand World, which level does our Ancestral Star Realm belong to?"
" Small Thousand World."
"What about the Great Wilderness Realm?"
" The Great Thousand World!"
Wei Yuan paused for a moment and asked, "Is there Middle Thousand World in between?"
"Right!"
How many are there in the Middle Thousand World?
"Trillion!"
"Trillion? How much exactly?"
Ling Yi shook his head. "I only heard it from someone else. He said it was trillions, but I don't know the exact number."
"Perhaps it's a trillion, or perhaps it's just a conceptual number."
"Of the three thousand Great Thousand World, if that person wasn't lying to me, the Great Wilderness Realm is one of those three thousand."
Wei Yuan frowned.
He blinked and muttered, "So that means even if the Ascension Plan succeeds, we'll first Ascension some unknown Middle Thousand World."
"Upon Ascension again, who knows which Great Thousand World Ascension!"
" Ascension?" Ling Yi, somewhat surprised.
"Yes, Ascension!"
"This world has a limited capacity to withstand destructive power; once that Boundary Breaking, it will Ascension."
"According to many ancient records, there are accounts of Martial Dao masters who Void Breaking and Ascension to the upper realms."
Ling Yi was genuinely shocked. "Our world still has Martial Dao masters?"
Have I lived for twenty or thirty years in vain?
I had always believed that Martial Dao traditions still existed in this world.
If someone can Void Breaking Ascension ascend to immortality, then the Martial Dao heritage of this world must have a very high ceiling!
Wei Yuan's lips curled up slightly.
Our world, you say?
We've used this very well.
"Unfortunately, a thousand years ago, Spiritual Qi was depleted, and the Martial Dao tradition was thus severed."
"Therefore, we have developed a completely new Ascension Plan."
"What?"
" Technological Ascension!"
