Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space Chapter 957

“How is it that you possess this knowledge?”
“Furthermore, why does this place not affect you?”
With a light chuckle, the Five Elements Ancestor gave his answer,
“The reason I am aware of these things, and why the laws of annihilation here do not touch me, is simply because I was the original master of this Immortal Will after its creation.”
“Because of that connection, I am intimately familiar with every stage of the Immortal Will, including the form the System Space took before its current evolution.”
Hearing this, Lin Jing couldn't help but remark,
“So, you are the actual owner of the System Space?”
The Five Elements Ancestor shook his head in denial,
“Not quite an owner…”
“By the time the Immortal Will finally accepted a master, it was a bit too late; I was already losing ground in my conflict with the Primordial Immortal Emperor Venerate.”
“Immediately after the Immortal Will recognized me, I was overcome and imprisoned by the Primordial Immortal Emperor Venerate.”
“If not for that timing…”
“The Primordial Immortal Emperor Venerate would never have been a match for me.”
Lin Jing observed the Five Elements Ancestor, recalling the mysterious power that had suddenly manifested in the Immortal Dao Realm earlier, and asked,
“You must have hitched a ride with the Divine Tree of Dao Principle when I claimed it, didn't you?”
The Five Elements Ancestor gave a nod of confirmation,
“Precisely, it happened at that very moment.”
Once the Five Elements Ancestor stopped speaking, Lin Jing added,
“Since you have manifested here, there has to be a specific purpose, and I believe I understand what it is.”
The Five Elements Ancestor nodded while letting out a sigh,
“Indeed…”
“I was defeated during the war with the Primordial Immortal Emperor Venerate.”
“Prior to my downfall, I cast the Immortal Will out of the Immortal Dao Realm. Eventually, it found its way to you, and the Immortal Will chose you as its master.”
“You are certainly a person of great fortune.”
“However, while you benefit from the power of the Immortal Will and the advantages it grants, you must also confront the perils tied to it.”
“Right now, the Primordial Immortal Emperor Venerate is in the process of refining the Immortal Dao Heart within the Immortal Dao Realm.”
“If he manages to fully refine the Immortal Dao Heart, he will gain a different method of controlling the Immortal Dao Realm.”
“When that happens, his ambition will not stop at the Immortal Dao Realm; every lower Cultivation World beneath it will likely be devastated.”
“Naturally, you are the one in the greatest danger.”
“The moment he finishes his refinement of the Immortal Dao Heart, he will inevitably discover that the Immortal Will is in your hands.”
Lin Jing’s brow furrowed at these words, and he looked back at the Five Elements Ancestor,
“Since you have appeared, you must surely possess a solution.”
The Five Elements Ancestor looked at Lin Jing and nodded his head,
“That war with the Primordial Immortal Emperor Venerate lasted a million years and nearly shattered the entire Immortal Dao Realm.”
“However, the Cultivation of an Emperor Venerate makes them impossible to kill; he could not end me, and I could not end him. We could only resort to sealing one another.”
“Starting tens of millennia ago, I was gradually overpowered by the Primordial Immortal Emperor Venerate, and a few centuries ago, I was completely beaten and sealed away.”
“While all of this is true, it was also part of my plan.”
“Before the seal took hold, I ejected the Immortal Will from the Immortal Dao Realm and detached a soul fragment to merge with the Divine Tree of Dao Principle. I waited for the Immortal Will to select a new master and return to this Immortal Dao Realm so I could reveal the truth.”
“In truth, from the very moment the Immortal Will first accepted me, I realized that defeating the Primordial Immortal Emperor Venerate entirely would require the power of the Immortal Will.”
“Regrettably, the recognition came too late for me; by then, I was already suppressed by the Primordial Immortal Emperor Venerate and lacked the strength to reverse the tide.”
“Thus, I could only send the Immortal Will away, waiting for the next destined individual to arrive.”
“Fortunately…”
“You arrived.”
“You have been accepted by the Immortal Will, and you are even practicing the Immortal Dao Five Elements Technique that I left behind.”
“Such a perfect alignment can only be described as destiny.”
Then, with a look of extreme gravity, the Five Elements Ancestor turned to Lin Jing and stated,
“I believe that to stop the Primordial Immortal Emperor Venerate, the responsibility falls on you.”
“With the Immortal Will as your tool and the possession of the three World Seeds, I can assist you in reaching the Unique Sovereign realm.”
“You are the only one who can defeat the Primordial Immortal Emperor Venerate.”
“Me?”
Lin Jing was left in a state of confusion,
“How can I possibly reach the Unique Sovereign realm when I haven't even become a Void Immortal yet?”
“It is possible!”
“Though only for a limited time,” the Five Elements Ancestor clarified.
However, as soon as he spoke, the flicker of the Five Elements Ancestor’s phantasm grew erratic.
The spirit frowned and spoke quickly to Lin Jing,
“A crisis has occurred with my true body; this soul fragment is losing its stability, and I cannot remain much longer.”
“If you seek the full truth, allow the Immortal Will to finish its evolution. You will understand everything then.”
“I shall wait for you within the Immortal Dao Realm; do not delay.”
“If the Primordial Immortal Emperor Venerate completes his refinement of the Immortal Dao Heart, everything will be…”
“too late…”
As those final words left his lips, the phantasm of the Five Elements Ancestor began to dissolve until his voice was gone.
The figure vanished entirely from the area.
With the departure of the Five Elements Ancestor, Lin Jing was the sole occupant left in the vast System Space.
Lin Jing remained where he was, contemplating the revelations shared by the Five Elements Ancestor.
He found himself believing some of the ancestor's claims, though he maintained a degree of skepticism about the rest.
Since it was claimed that evolving the Immortal Will—the System Space—would reveal the truth to him, he decided to wait.
It would be time enough to judge for himself once the evolution of the System Space reached its conclusion…
Afterward.
Lin Jing turned his eyes toward the Divine Mountain in the System Space, the place where the Divine Tree of Dao Principle was planted.
Back when the Divine Tree of Dao Principle was first pulled into the System Space, that unique Immortal Yuan had already detached itself from Lin Jing to enter the tree.
