Free Web NovelChapter 629: Chapter 600: The Path to Immortality Revealed
"I have been fallen since ancient times, and now, only a remnant of my soul is left, which will soon vanish into smoke and clouds. The cycle of life and death is a principle, and the rebirth of a Saint is an extravagance.
Even if you possess the ability to traverse the river of time and meddle with past and future events, finding the exact timeline and bringing me here is still impossible!"
Taichu shook his head slightly.
As a being who once reached the pinnacle of the sixteenth rank, he knows well how difficult it is to achieve rebirth.
The stronger one is,
the more unshakable the timeline they inhabit becomes.
Moreover,
among countless parallel timelines, finding the exact timeline is understandably challenging.
Gu Qingyang smiled indifferently: "My method differs from ordinary ones. If the Saint can place faith in me, then I can enable the Saint’s rebirth."
"Faith?"
Taichu frowned slightly.
The path of faith.
In his view, it is quite ordinary.
In ancient times, the starry sky blossomed in myriad hues, and there were quite a few strong individuals who followed the path of deity through faith, yet faith bore many benefits along with numerous drawbacks.
Moreover,
using the power of faith to enable a Saint’s rebirth is entirely laughable.
If someone else had said this, Taichu would have merely sneered, but coming from Gu Qingyang, it warrants deeper consideration.
Gu Qingyang stated: "I, Emperor Gu Qingyang, am currently the Master of Cyan Yang Divine Court and also the Master of Cyan Yang Divine Realm. If a Saint places faith in me, then I can enable the Saint’s rebirth!"
"So be it, I am about to dissolve into smoke and clouds anyway; trusting you once is no harm."
Taichu smiled indifferently.
Then,
Gu Qingyang saw an invisible faith thread emerging from Taichu. Though the faith thread is ethereal, it is robust like a river, distinct from other cultivators.
Even Gu Qingyang, upon seeing such faith threads, felt a silent tremor in his heart.
This is the faith of a sixteenth-rank strong individual.
A fourteenth-rank individual’s faith power can only contribute a hundred trillion at a time, while a fifteenth-rank individual offers one thousand trillion; a sixteenth-rank individual, however, can directly provide one hundred million in faith power.
This means,
a sixteenth-rank individual is equivalent to ten thousand fifteenth-rank individuals.
This is the purity of high-ranking cultivators’ faith power.
However,
the fact that the faith thread appears illusory also indicates that the other party is merely a general believer.
In this regard,
Gu Qingyang understands.
Such ancient strong individuals naturally cannot sincerely place faith in anyone; they have their own paths to walk. Being a general believer is simply because they trust the other party.
"Within one hundred thousand years, I shall enable the Saint’s rebirth!"
Gu Qingyang made a promise.
Enabling a Saint’s rebirth is by no means an easy task.
The current Divine Kingdom indeed possesses the ability to resurrect beings, but this corresponds to rank; for example, a fifteenth-rank Divine Kingdom can only revive fifteenth-rank entities, while a sixteenth-rank Divine Kingdom can revive sixteenth-rank entities.
More importantly,
the faith power required to resurrect a sixteenth-rank entity is by no means simple.
Taichu smiled indifferently: "I await the day we meet again. The three-thousand-year mission I undertook is completed; whether the lower realm can survive the catastrophe entirely depends on you now!"
As his words concluded, Taichu’s spectral form gradually dissipated.
This time,
this ancient strong individual truly vanished into smoke and clouds.
With Taichu’s fall, Gu Qingyang looked toward the Star Sea, where an ancient star suddenly appeared, its vast and timeless aura spreading, causing all cosmic beasts to bow in submission.
The Divine Kingdom merged with the Cyan Yang Divine Realm.
The remnant souls and divine thoughts of all beings fallen in the Divine Kingdom transformed into stars within the Star Sea.
But what differs,
is that these stars would receive the protection of the Divine Kingdom’s power, preventing them from being devoured by cosmic beasts.
Upon seeing the ancient star appear, Gu Qingyang understood his speculation was correct.
Even if Taichu is but a remnant soul, as long as faith is born in him, the Divine Kingdom can still capture a portion of his remnant soul power as a foundation for future rebirth.
The promise of one hundred thousand years was made,
because for the Divine Kingdom to ascend to the sixteenth rank and accumulate the power to resurrect Taichu, it would take at least tens of thousands of years.
One hundred thousand years,
was a conservative estimate.
With Taichu’s fall,
beings of the starry sky instinctively generated mourning emotions, and celestial phenomena occurred, a torrential blood rain pouring down as if bidding farewell.
To these phenomena,
Gu Qingyang paid no heed.
He simply looked toward the Immortal Sect before him.
Without Taichu’s suppressive force, all chaos dissolved, and the final fragmented segment of the Path to Immortality, now fully restored, connected with the Immortal Sect.
When the Path to Immortality aligned with the Immortal Sect, the dimensional space housing the Path to Immortality ruptured visibly, and within moments, the vast space shattered completely.
With the dimensional space shattered,
an ancient path spanning the starry sky emerged from Immortal Extinction State, breaking the constraints of Cyan Yang Divine Realm, and plunging into the endless starry sky above, seemingly endlessly.
The sudden change,
caused shock among all cultivators within the Cyan Yang Divine Realm.
All eyes now fixed upon that ancient path across the starry sky, which, originating from Immortal Extinction State, seemed boundless.
Such a phenomenon,
prompted a reaction first from the strong individuals of Immortal Extinction State.
Bulky figures shattered the void, arriving before the ancient path across the starry sky. From the outside, the path appeared imbued with the scent of ages; yet upon Divine Thought entering, a vast and boundless world presented itself within the ancient path.
Within the world,
the setting sun was like blood,
remnants of bodies scattered the land.
"The Path to Immortality has finally appeared!"
The Vermilion Ape’s eyes contained shock, but more so, a fighting spirit.
Know this,
The Vermilion Ape is also one of the three thousand cultivators of Kunlun Divine Realm.
Though his cultivation level hasn’t reached the fifteenth rank’s pinnacle like the Cyan Emperor’s, he approaches fifteen-rank upper class.
Now,
with the Path to Immortality revealed,
The Vermilion Ape naturally sought battle.
Soon after the Vermilion Ape’s appearance, more figures arrived.
The Demon Emperor, Di Xuan!
The Cyan Roc!
Wu Peng of Immortal King Sacred Land!
Chi Yan of Human Emperor Sacred Land!
...
These strong individuals of Immortal Extinction State are members among the three thousand cultivators of Kunlun Divine Realm. As they gazed upon the ancient path across the starry sky, some bore expressions of shock, others with solemn countenance, but like the Vermilion Ape, most surged with a fervent fighting spirit.
Soon thereafter,
more powerful presences arrived.
The Path to Immortality revealed,
compelling all top-tier strong individuals of Cyan Yang Divine Realm to cease their silence and come to explore Immortal Extinction State.
For a fifteenth-rank strong individual, traversing Cyan Yang Divine Realm, naturally, posed no difficulty.
Upon arrival and witnessing the ancient path across the starry sky firsthand, they could truly comprehend the grandeur of this ancient Path to Immortality.
