Top-Class Comprehension: Start with Basic Fist Techniques Chapter 1265 375: There Are Immortal Realm Supremes in the Boundary Sea Too! The Giant Axe Immortal Finally Appears!

"That's precisely why, from ancient times, countless Immortal Realm powerhouses in the Boundary Sea have been utterly fixated on ascending to the Heavenly Realm."

The Giant Axe Immortal's statement unveiled a secret that shook the very heavens.

Lu Changsheng had never once pondered such a revelation.

The so-called Immortal Realm powerhouses in the Boundary Sea turned out not to be genuine Immortal Realm powerhouses at all.

Put differently, neither the former Giant Spirit Ancestor nor Red Dust Immortal Liu Yun qualified as true Immortal Realm powerhouses.

Everything clicked for Lu Changsheng at last.

He now grasped why Red Dust Immortal Liu Yun and the Giant Spirit Ancestor had pursued entry into the Heavenly Realm with such unyielding resolve.

For only in the Heavenly Realm could one temper a true Immortal Body and ascend to authentic Immortal Realm status!

"What a heaven-shaking secret that truly is..."

"My thanks to you, Giant Axe Immortal, for sharing this with me."

Lu Changsheng offered a deep bow to the Giant Axe Immortal.

To those at the Immortal Realm, such knowledge was mere everyday fact.

Yet for cultivators beneath that level, it remained a monumental concealed truth.

At the very least, Lu Changsheng had been completely in the dark until now.

"No need for thanks. This is basic knowledge anyway. With so many Upper Immortals from the Heavenly Realm now descending into the Boundary Sea, details about Immortal Realm powerhouses will soon circulate everywhere here."

"Even if this old man stayed silent, you'd learn it eventually."

Lu Changsheng fell quiet for a moment.

Then, unable to hold back, he pressed on: "Giant Axe Immortal, do you know precisely why those Upper Immortals from the Heavenly Realm have arrived in the Boundary Sea?"

"They appear to be hunting for something. I suspect, Brother Lu, that it ties back to the Ancient Times, though I have no concrete details..."

This stood as Lu Changsheng's biggest uncertainty right now.

Without understanding the motives of the Heavenly Realm's Upper Immortals,

any attempt at resistance would leave him clueless on where to even begin.

"As for exactly what those Upper Immortals from the Heavenly Realm seek, this old man remains in the dark too."

"However, one thing I do know—they're after a profoundly ancient Ancient Immortal."

"It appears this Ancient Immortal perished within our Boundary Sea, leaving behind something of utmost significance."

"It could be an Ancient Immortal's inheritance or perhaps an Ancient Immortal treasure. Regardless, the Heavenly Realm's Upper Immortals place immense value on whatever that Ancient Immortal bequeathed."

"During the Ancient Times, droves of immortals flocked to the Boundary Sea for that very Ancient Immortal. But then a massive war erupted; the Heaven-ascending Road got shattered, and a supreme powerhouse utterly severed it."

"Ultimately, contact between the Boundary Sea and Heavenly Realm was completely cut off, leading many Immortal Realm powerhouses from the Ancient Times to succumb one by one to the Five Declines of Heaven and Man."

"Only recently did some powerhouse in the Heavenly Realm reopen the Heaven-ascending Road. Thus, our present age mirrors the Ancient Times, with countless Immortal Realm powerhouses set to clash over the Ancient Immortal's legacy."

"The Boundary Sea is doomed to become a battlefield, where the myriad beings here lack even the right to interfere..."

A trace of melancholy crossed the Giant Axe Immortal's face.

After all, the Boundary Sea was undeniably his homeland.

Seeing his homeland transform into a warzone while remaining powerless filled him with sorrow.

Even should he defy the Heavenly Realm's Upper Immortals and wage all-out war against them.

What would come of it?

Total annihilation.

He himself had barely escaped death.

Against the relentless tide of destiny, not even the Giant Axe Immortal could find a way.

Suddenly, the air inside the Cave Mansion turned oppressively heavy.

After what felt like ages, Lu Changsheng shattered the stifling quiet, speaking deliberately: "Does that mean the Boundary Sea is no longer safe? Must we head to the Heavenly Realm, be it for our protection or to attain true Immortal Realm power?"

The Giant Axe Immortal nodded gravely. "Indeed, entering the Heavenly Realm is our only path. Why else would this old man dare clash with an immortal? Wasn't it all to seize the Heaven-ascending Road and ascend?"

"Regrettably, the Upper Immortals of the Heavenly Realm now control the Heaven-ascending Road. If this old man ventures out recklessly, I might not even survive..."

At present, the Giant Axe Immortal managed only a bitter smile.

A dignified Immortal Realm powerhouse.

Theoretically, the gateway of the Heaven-ascending Road should have allowed him to rise directly into the Heavenly Realm.

Yet, with the Heaven-ascending Road now under the control of the Heavenly Realm's Upper Immortals, the Giant Axe Immortal had no possible means to ascend to the Heavenly Realm.

"Wait."

"Giant Axe Immortal, since those Upper Immortals from the Heavenly Realm have come seeking the inheritance or treasure of the Ancient Immortal, if we avoid fighting over the Ancient Immortal's possessions and simply desire entry into the Heavenly Realm, why would those Upper Immortals go out of their way to block us?"

Lu Changsheng questioned once more.

The Giant Axe Immortal cast a profound glance at Lu Changsheng and spoke deliberately, "A massive herd of elephants invades an ant nest, hunting for some hidden treasure, but ants swarm everywhere on the ground. What would the elephants do?"

"Suppose a handful of those ants happen to be bigger than the rest. Would the elephants bother interrogating the tiny ants, or the oversized ones?"

"Regardless of an ant's size, how does it stack up against an elephant?"

"The elephants pay no heed at all; they could squash the ants flat without a second thought..."

This served as an "allegory."

Lu Changsheng grasped it fully.

The allegory proved straightforward and crystal clear.

Even the Breaking Illusion Ancestor comprehended it perfectly.

The creatures dwelling in the Boundary Sea resembled mere ants.

The Heavenly Realm's Upper Immortals formed the thundering herd of elephants.

The Boundary Sea's Strongest Ancestor Realm powerhouses, self-proclaimed invincible, reigned supreme atop the world, gazing disdainfully at everyone below.

But what was the truth?

To the Upper Immortals of the Heavenly Realm, those Strongest Ancestor Realm figures amounted to nothing more than somewhat bigger ants.

To track down the Ancient Immortal's secrets, whom else would they confront besides the Strongest Ancestor Realm experts?

The Giant Axe Immortal, having attained the Immortal Realm right there in the Boundary Sea, held even greater significance.

This only heightened the chances that the Heavenly Realm's Upper Immortals would suspect him of claiming the Ancient Immortal's legacy.

Thus, they would pursue him relentlessly without mercy.

Whether it stemmed from a false assumption or not?

The Upper Immortals of the Heavenly Realm wouldn't give it the slightest thought.

Would elephants fret over a mix-up with ants?

"Giant Axe Immortal, what's your next move?"

Lu Changsheng inquired.

"Lie low."

"In this predicament, lying low is our sole option."

"That said, no reason for total despair. The Heavenly Realm's Upper Immortals aren't united; they hail from rival factions, clashing fiercely among themselves."

"After sufficient time elapses, those Upper Immortals will turn on each other, echoing the chaos of the Ancient Times."

"Amid that turmoil, our opportunity might arise."

"Then, a shot at slipping through the Heaven-ascending Road could lead to ascension into the Heavenly Realm."

"Still, you two won't cut it. A Strongest Ancestor Realm can't endure the inter-realm passage's crushing pressure; only after advancing to Immortal Realm can you handle it. Even without forming an Immortal Body, mere entry into Immortal Realm lets you withstand that strain."

The Giant Axe Immortal fixed Lu Changsheng with an intense gaze.

His motive for sharing all this was straightforward.

Through his sharp insight, the Giant Axe Immortal easily discerned Lu Changsheng's boundless potential.

The Giant Axe Immortal had traversed the Boundary Sea for countless years.

Among all Ancestor Realm cultivators, Lu Changsheng stood alone as the one with genuine prospects of becoming an Immortal Realm titan.

Furthermore, be it the Immortal Body route or his corporeal foundation, Lu Changsheng possessed real possibilities.

"Lu Changsheng, truth be told, count yourself lucky to emerge in this age."

"This era spells doom for most Ancestor Realms, yet for you, it's a golden opportunity."

"With countless Upper Immortals from the Heavenly Realm descending, your Physical Immortal Path or Immortal Body finally stands a chance to achieve ultimate perfection—but only now."

"Should your Physical Immortal Path or Immortal Body hit that peak, propelling you into Immortal Realm, your prospects will outshine this old Loose Immortal path follower by leagues..."

The Giant Axe Immortal remarked with a grin.

He trod the Loose Immortal path himself and understood its strengths and limits all too well.

Regardless, the other three immortal paths offered truly limitless horizons.

The Loose Immortal path gained traction mainly within the Boundary Sea.

However, once one truly ascended to the Heavenly Realm, the Loose Immortal path would become nothing more than a mere backdrop.

Yet he could no longer alter that fate, while Lu Changsheng still harbored boundless hope.
