Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 1075 447: Enormous Gains, Overturning the Immortal Realm Human Race (2)
Previously on Cultivation System: Stronger with Age...
Sima Ling, Second Elder of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect, concluded hearing Lin Xuankong's remarks with a bitter smile and a heavy sigh:
"Immortal Lin's skills in artifact refining are truly astonishing. These days, Immortal Lin's artifact refining methods have boosted the entire Immortal Realm Human Race by a whole new level. Without the Profound Yin Demon Sect grabbing a trace of power from the Upper Realm Celestial Demon this time, the Immortal Realm Human Race, bolstered by Immortal Lin, would definitely have claimed a massive victory and dealt a crushing blow to the Profound Yin Demon Sect!
What a shame. Immortal Lin arrived in troubled times. Despite your matchless artifact refining prowess across past and present, how could you foresee the horror of that trace of Celestial Demon power seized by the Demon Child Gang Bone? It originates from an ancient Celestial Demon of the Upper Realm!
Across the Immortal Realm Human Race, countless Great Powers have ascended to the Upper Realm over hundreds of thousands or even millions of years. But in all that endless time, has any Human Race powerhouse who rose to the Upper Realm ever sent back even the slightest bit of power to the Immortal Realm? Has any Human Race powerhouse who ascended to the Upper Realm ever relayed even a scrap of knowledge to the Immortal Realm?
Even now, human cultivators throughout the Immortal Realm stay in the dark about the Upper Realm's actual conditions!
Yet that ancient Celestial Demon from the Upper Realm, Thousand Illusion Celestial Monarch, manages to send a thread of Celestial Demon power down to the Immortal Realm!
From this alone, shouldn't Immortal Lin and Immortal Lord Guang recognize the terrifying might of that Upper Realm's ancient Celestial Demon, Thousand Illusion Celestial Monarch?
Were it not for this, why would I, Sima Ling, sink into such total despair? Haven't I, Sima Ling, embraced the scorn from myriad human cultivators ahead, all to let countless Earth Immortals and Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect disciples live on by leaning on the Demon Sect? Isn't it due to the grim tidings from the Third Demon Lord that have shattered my hopes for the coming Immortal Demon War, leaving the Human Race with scant hope of defeating the Profound Yin Demon Sect!"
At these words, Lin Xuankong and Guang Yu'er, facing Sima Ling the Second Elder of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect, couldn't stop their brows from knitting tighter.
Reluctant as they were to admit it, Lin Xuankong and Guang Yu'er were forced to concede
that this Celestial Demon who could dispatch a strand of demon power to the Immortal Realm might truly surpass their wildest expectations in strength!
Consider this: over endless ages, more than ten thousand Earth Immortals from the Immortal Realm Human Race have soared to the Upper Realm. Yet to this day, zero ascended experts have pierced the divide between Upper and Immortal Realms to share even a morsel of intel with the Immortal Realm. The Immortal Realm Human Race's grasp of the Upper Realm relies almost wholly on guesses. Even 'Earth Immortal' comes from cultivators assuming those who ascend become genuine immortals, worthy of the title Celestial Immortals!
Keep in mind, a million years back, the Immortal Realm brimmed with resources far richer than today's scarcity. Secret realms and dangers overflowed with heavenly treasures, spirit fruits, and elixirs brimming with miraculous powers and effects. The artifacts and treasures wielded by peak Earth Immortal human powerhouses from the Ancient Era, Ancient Times, Middle Ages, and Near Ancient Era—who all ascended to the Upper Realm—vastly outshone what current Immortal Realm Earth Immortals possess!
And yet, not one such Earth Immortal ever passed back the tiniest whisper after reaching the Upper Realm!
Without the sight of Strongest Immortal Lord-level powerhouses beholding heavenly music and explosive power surges during each ascension's tribulations—refining immortal yuan to heights unattainable by Earth Immortals—scarce few in the Immortal Realm would view the Upper Realm as more than legend...
Thinking over these matters, Lin Xuankong, who had been brimming with assurance from his array of mighty trump cards, saw his face turn a bit grave while eyeing Sima Ling, the Second Elder of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect. In a grave tone, he declared, "Go on, explain that ancient Celestial Demon known as Thousand Illusion Saint Monarch; how potent is this strand of Celestial Demon power sent to the Immortal Realm, what extraordinary abilities does it hold, and what powers?"
Sima Ling, the Second Elder of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect, appeared to remember the moment he first heard of that strand of Celestial Demon power. A trace of dread flickered across his withered, elderly features, making his eye pupils shrink faintly.
He forced himself to rally, looking toward Lin Xuankong and Guang Yu'er with an expression laced with terror and hopelessness:
"Although I, Sima Ling, have a plea for you both, I wouldn't dare conceal a thing from you,
I must confess, the details came straight from the Third Demon Lord of the Profound Yin Demon Sect. Whether he meant to scare me or boast of his sect's might, this old man can't say for sure. Still, considering the wild devotion those demons, demon generals, and demon lords show to the Celestial Demon, they wouldn't fabricate tales about Celestial Demon matters!
From what this Third Demon Lord of the Profound Yin Demon Sect revealed,
The ancient Celestial Demon, Thousand Illusion Saint Monarch, didn't just send a fragment of Celestial Demon power to the Lower Realm—he also passed down substantial knowledge.
He claimed that our realm, encompassing the Human Race Immortal Realm, the Demon Race Boundaryless Mountain, the Profound Yin Demon Realm, Spirit Platform Buddha Realm, and myriad lesser domains, is merely one among countless Great Worlds born from the Supreme Origin Realm—once called Golden Dragon Immortal Realm. It emerged when a Celestial Demon from the Upper Realm fell and died, crashing into Chaos Space to birth a Great World naturally!
Over endless epochs, uncountable Great Worlds have arisen in diverse shapes from the Supreme Origin Realm, exceeding trillions in number!
Some of these Great Worlds produce bizarre, eternal creatures that can't be destroyed, only slain by Upper Realm beings with True Spirit power!
Others birth races with pathetically brief lives but horrifying breeding rates, spawning billions instantly. They can fuse for dreadful might, even corroding the divides between the Upper Realm and Great Worlds' Chaos, injuring the Upper Realm's True Spirits!
Countless such Great Worlds seem infinite yet fail to produce even a trace of Immortal Yuan power, forcing their inhabitants—lifespans shockingly fleeting—to rely on strange forces like machinery, electricity, magnetism, nuclear power!"
Here, Sima Ling, Second Elder of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect, displayed a thoughtful look and let out a sigh. "Even if those countless Great Worlds the Third Demon Lord described might not truly exist, imagining realms beyond our Golden Dragon Immortal Realm—vastly unlike it, full of wonders—even if that Third Demon Lord was deceiving this old man, I can't help but wonder at the enigmas of the Supreme Origin Realm and the miracles of those myriad Great Worlds!"
However, this Second Elder of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect, Sima Ling, truly couldn't grasp,
That his revelation sent massive shockwaves crashing through Lin Xuankong's heart right in front of him!
Gazing at Sima Ling, the Second Elder of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect, as he described a world barren of Immortal Yuan power, Lin Xuankong abruptly remembered his birth world—a place flickering in his mind during Cultivation sessions, that Blue Planet he'd nearly erased from memory!
Sometimes, Lin Xuankong even sensed an illusion that the Blue Planet and all its events were nothing more than a fleeting old man's dream!
And right now,
Massive shockwaves churned inside Lin Xuankong's heart,
The Supreme Origin Realm—could the Third Demon Lord's account actually be real?
Could the Upper Realm, hailed by countless Human Race cultivators in the Immortal Realm, truly be the Supreme Origin Realm? And amidst the myriad Great Worlds spawned from the Supreme Origin Realm, does the Cosmos harboring that Blue Planet from his former life truly exist? If his memories of all things on that Blue Planet are not mere fantasies, then his authentic homeland might well dwell among those innumerable Great Worlds birthed by the Supreme Origin Realm!
One day, should he cultivate to a lofty enough realm, he might yet return to that Blue Planet—his genuine homeland?
