Chapter 141 – The Sage of Time!
The old monk’s face changed when he saw the male master disappear into the palace.
“Why don’t you let me in?” The old monk was anxious.
The old monk’s divine soul was hosted in the ring made of the Soul Nourishing Stone in the male lord’s hand, and he couldn’t stay in the outside world for a long period of time, or else his soul power would be depleted until his soul finally flew away!
However, no one paid any attention to him.
The old monk tried a few more times, but each time he was stopped by the seven-colored barrier.
Just then, the old monk’s soul body trembled.
He could clearly feel the soul power starting to escape.
“Little Monk.”
The old monk roared loudly towards the palace, furious.
I don’t know if the palace shielded the old monk’s voice, or if the male lead deliberately pretended not to hear it.
The old monk’s soul power was rapidly dissipating, and his expression became more and more urgent.
But the male master never appeared.
At the same time.
The male lead stepped into the palace with one foot, and the door behind him directly disappeared.
In front of him was a radiant seven-colored lotus flower.
“Come forward.”
The seven-colored lotus flower trembled slightly, and that old voice from before resounded once again.
The male lead stepped forward, looked at the seven-colored lotus flower, and curiously said, “Who are you?”
“You can call me the Sage of Time.” The pale voice said.
The male lord froze for a moment, “Sage of Time? Which clan are you from, why haven’t I heard of you before?”
The Sage of Time spoke in a low tone, explaining, “I’m not from the world of your Immortal Cultivation, I come from the world of fighting and magic.”
“What’s that?” The male lead froze again.
The Sage of Time: “Fighting Qi and Magic is the same as the Immortal Cultivation of your world, it is an extremely brilliant cultivation civilization that enhances one’s strength.”
The male lead was puzzled, “Then how did you guys get here?”
Sage of Time: “Came here in response to the call of the sages of your world, to defend together against the common enemy of all dimensional worlds!”
“What is that enemy?”
The male lead’s heart fluttered, suddenly thinking of something, and said, “You’re talking about the ‘Spirit’?”
The Sage of Time: “‘Spirit’ is the presentization of the Rule Fragment, and although His idiosyncratic style of acting often causes us some trouble, the existence of ‘Spirit’ is our helper, not an enemy! ”
The words of the Sage of Time completely subverted the male lead’s perception.
He had always thought that the “Spirits” were enslaving the world and were the common enemy of all, but he never thought that the Sage of Time would say that the “Spirits” were the helpers of the human race.
The hero wondered, “If the Spirit is not an enemy, then who is the enemy?”
The Sage of Time: “The Ancient One!”
“What is ‘Ancient’?” The male lead asked.
Sage of Time: “‘Ancient’ is the origin of everything, the maker of rules. After the rules designated by the ‘Ancient’ were broken, the broken rules materialized, and then the ‘Spirit’ was born. After the ‘spirits’ were born, the power of the rules were mapped onto different realms, and eventually different cultivation civilizations were formed. For example, fighting qi and magic in our world, and cultivation of immortality in your world.”
It was the first time the male lead had heard someone talk about the development history of the Immortal Cultivation world.
He asked suspiciously, “Since ‘Ancient’ is the rule maker, and the cultivators’ cultivation style evolved from the rules, why do we still need to fight against ‘Ancient’?”
The Sage of Time: “Because the ‘Ancient’ wants to remake the broken rules.”
The male lead was puzzled: “What does that mean?”
Sage of Time: “Whether it’s fighting and magic, or immortal cultivation, all cultivation methods all come from the power of rules.”
“Because the power of rules is broken, there are many shortcuts on the path of cultivation.”
“For example, we sacrifice the ‘spirit’ of the elements in exchange for the ability to mobilize magical elements; you sacrifice the ‘spirit’ of Immortal Cultivation in exchange for rapid refinement of your cultivation.”
“Once the ‘Ancient’ reshapes all the broken rules, then these loopholes will be filled, and there will be no shortcuts then.”
“The Dharma Gods and Fighting Gods of our world, the ancestors of the Immortal Cultivation Clans of your world, all of them paid countless hardships to get to where they are now, are you willing to have your children and grandchildren cultivate in the same routine as those mud legged people, or even be replaced by those mud legged people?”
Male Lord: “……”
He thought that this person’s name was called “Sage of Time”, and that he should be the kind of worldly superior who had seen through the red dust and was not bound by the world.
In the end, he didn’t expect to be a selfish person.
The hero’s opinion of people in the world of fighting and magic was immediately lowered to the extreme.
The Sage of Time didn’t know what the male lead was thinking as he continued to speak to the male lead:
“One hundred thousand years ago, three thousand dimensional worlds gathered at the same time, and countless top cultivators joined forces to design a layout in this world to kill off the Ancient One Clan!”
“After it was accomplished, I mobilized the remaining cultivators to join forces and deduce together, and eventually saw the Ancient One Clan return scenario in the long river of time.”
“Then, I left behind this wisp of divine soul to specifically wait for the summoner of the return of the Ancient One Race.”
Hearing this, the male lead strangely said, “You mean to say that I am that summoner, but I don’t know who the Ancient One Clan is?”
The Sage of Time: “That’s what’s strange to me! According to the glimpses I spied in the river of time back then, the return of the Ancient One Clan should have been several years back. You have suddenly come over now, but has something changed in the Immortal Cultivation World?”
A change in the Immortal Cultivation World?
The male lead was just about to shake his head when he suddenly thought of the Immortal Cultivation Conference not long ago.
The Immortal Cultivation Sect had died with the Four Seas Dragon Clan, and the Immortal Cultivation Sect had suffered a great loss of vitality, and it would be difficult to regain its previous prosperity without a hundred years.
This is still far away, the near one is right in front of us.
Outside the Pagoda secret realm, the Great Summer’s forbidden army is killing monks on Mount Sumeru.
The destruction of the Little Leiyin Temple, which has been passed down for tens of thousands of years, is just around the corner.
The male lead was just about to inform the Time Sage of these circumstances, but when the words reached his mouth, he suddenly swallowed them back.
For some reason, a premonition suddenly arose in his heart.
Although the person in front of him would not harm him, he could not be informed of these things.
The male lead said, “Everything is normal outside, I came here by mistake by taking part in the Buddhist Sect’s trial.”
After saying that, he added, “By the way, this place is now the secret realm of the Buddha Sect, and the disciples of the Buddha Sect often come in for trials.”
Sage of Time: “I see. I know what you said about trials, and it’s true that quite a few human cultivators have come in over the years, but for you to be able to enter here, the identity of the summoner is certain. After you go out, you have to pay more attention, and if you find any trace of the Ancient One Race, you have to light the beacon and wolf smoke at the first opportunity, summoning all the strongest people from all the dimensional worlds to come and exterminate the enemy!”
The male lead asked, “Where is the beacon wolf smoke?”
Sage of Time: “The beacon is on the ninth floor of this Tower of Trials, this tower was built by gathering all the powerhouses of the three thousand worlds back then, there are sixteen floors in total, which corresponds to the sixteen orders of the cultivation realm of your Immortal Cultivation World. As long as you cultivate to the Ninth Order Saint King Realm, you can go directly to the ninth floor to light the Beacon Wolf Smoke!”
“Wait!” The male lead suddenly interrupted, “You’re saying that there are a total of sixteen tiers in the Immortal Cultivation Realm of our Immortal Cultivation World? But how come I’ve only heard of the ninth level, what are the seven stages behind it?”
Sage of Time: “The seven stages behind are, the tenth stage Return to Void Realm, the eleventh stage Void King Realm, the twelfth stage Dao Origin Realm, the thirteenth stage Emperor Realm, the fourteenth stage Great Emperor Realm, the fifteenth stage Qiankun Realm, and the sixteenth stage Heaven Opening Realm.”
The male protagonist was immediately astonished, “So many realms, why have I never heard of them in the Immortal Cultivation Realm?”
Sage of Time: “Because after the ‘Battle of the Destruction of the Ancients’ back then, all of us joined forces to seal the upper limit of the Immortal Cultivation World!”
“Why?” The male lead’s face was ugly.
The Sage of Time said, “Because you people in the Immortal Cultivation World cultivate too fast, if we don’t block it against you, you’ll all soon ascend to the Spirit World. The location of the ‘Ancient’ revival is in your Immortal Cultivation Realm, if all of you ascend, there will be no one to oversee it, and when the Ancient Clan returns, the order of all the dimensional worlds will have to collapse! Therefore, for the sake of the greater good of the Three Thousand Worlds, it will be necessary to sacrifice your Immortal Cultivation Realm!”
Dog days!
When the male lead heard this, he almost couldn’t hold back his explosion.
Originally, he had only thought that the Sage of the Hour was selfish and self-serving, but now it seemed that he was even despicable and shameless, practically without any lower limits!
“On what grounds should we sacrifice our Immortal Cultivation Realm?”
The male lord grimaced and said with dissatisfaction, “If the people of other worlds were worried about the Ancient One’s revival, they would have sent people over to guard it exactly like you’re doing now!”
Sage of Time: “I know you’re angry, but don’t be angry yet, this matter isn’t what you think it is.”
Hearing this, the male lead couldn’t help but sneer, “You’ve been pitting everyone in the Immortal Cultivation World for over a hundred thousand years, do you still want to say that there’s actually something else going on here?”
Sage of Time: “Hidden agendas don’t count, we just paid accordingly!”
“Payment?” The male lead froze for a moment, “What payment?”
Sage of Time: “All the strongest of us in the Three Thousand Worlds joined forces and refined six supreme treasures for your Immortal Cultivation World, the first of which is this Pagoda Mystic Realm. The others are the Immortal Execution Sword, the Demon Refining Pot, the Mountain and River Diagram, the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, and the Ancient Ancient Flame.”
The male lord was shocked, “The treasures of the major sects in the Immortal Cultivation World were actually given to you? The Sword Sect’s Immortal Execution Sword, the Pill Sect’s Demon Refining Pots, the Royal Beast Sect’s Mountain and River Diagram, and the Weapon Sect’s Ancient Anomaly Flame. The Ten Thousand Immortals Formation is unheard of, I wonder in whose hands it is.”
After the male lead finished speaking, he regretfully said, “Unfortunately, all of the great clans’ greatest treasures have been lost, or else today’s Immortal Cultivation World would definitely be even more prosperous.”
Sage of Time: “It’s not lost, but taken away!”
The male lead was startled: “Who took away the great clans’ supreme treasures, and where did they take them?”
Sage of Time: “Of course it was those clans’ own people who took it away, as for where it was taken to, it should have ascended to the spirit world.”
The male lord frowned: “Didn’t you say that the ascension channel of the Immortal Cultivation Realm was sealed by the three thousand worlds’ supreme experts joining hands as early as a hundred thousand years ago?”
Sage of Time: “There are always some people in this world who are exceptions, such as those great cultivators who participated in the Battle of Ancient Extermination back then, as well as their descendants, that is, the cultivators of the great sects you mentioned. The ascension channel opened a back door for them, they were able to ascend normally, and the intensity of the robbing thunder was only one tenth of what it would be under normal circumstances. When their ancestors fought tooth and nail to resist the Ancient One, wasn’t it to fight for these resources, I’m sure you’ll understand?”
The male master’s face instantly turned ugly.
“Those people went so far as to sell out the entire Immortal Cultivation World for their own interests?”
“Where have they put those ordinary people?”
“How absurd, how ridiculous, how shameless!”
Sage of Time: “…… Possibly, this is fate!”
