Free Web NovelChapter 490: Chapter 478: Mortal Ignorance of Immortal Turmoil
Cultivators cultivate their spirit, flesh body, techniques, and the Great Dao.
Low-level cultivators diligently temper their tendons and bones daily, while high-level cultivators make every word and action a form of cultivation, practicing at all times.
In terms of diligence and toil, what cultivators do far exceeds the imagination of ordinary people. In other words, immortals are not what mortals picture.
Free, unrestrained, comfortable, with no desires or needs, wandering the world. This is how immortals appear in the eyes of mortals, yet they can’t see the efforts and hard work of immortals.
To outsiders, Wang Xuan seems to be playing with children on Black and White Mountain and living lovingly with his wife.
But beneath this appearance is his constant thinking, research, and relentless pursuit of the Dao, which grants him the opportunity for enlightenment.
Vitality like clouds shrouds the entire Black and White Mountain, resembling a cloud cluster. Occasionally, an Immortal Crane dazzled by it crashes into the formation and is then bounced back by the restrictions.
No one knows to what extent Wang Xuan has extended the limitations of the Celestial Tier. He is already a leading figure in the Limit Domain with a combat power in the same realm that possibly precedes any who came before.
Now, even without breaking through, he seems to have entered the True Immortal Domain and may reach achievements that leave no successors.
For those who come later to surpass him in the Celestial Tier Domain is almost impossible.
As time ticks by, in the small courtyard, Wang Xuan appears to be in a deep sleep, yet a humanoid spiritual light gradually forms.
The spiritual light overlaps with him, like a shadow in the water, faintly pulsating with Wang Xuan’s heartbeat.
This is the Heaven and Earth Seal, which only the strongest of the same realm can leave during the Era of Mythology, an acknowledgment of the trailblazer.
In today’s Earth, all Heaven and Earth Seals are left by Immortals. After achieving immortality, their presence in this world influences the past, with the Heaven and Earth Seal equating to the combat power of their reincarnated selves.
Such as during his last tribulation, he encountered the young forms of a Great Saint of the Dragon Race and an Unparalleled Sword Immortal.
These seals were indeed left during their youth, yet due to achieving immortality, their power becomes flawless, coexisting with heaven and earth, now affecting the past and elevating the seal’s power to their theoretical limits.
Now being recognized by Heaven and Earth, Wang Xuan also leaves a seal. Such a remarkable feat occurs quietly and unnoticed.
If outsiders knew, it would be astonishing beyond measure.
They might show no reaction because most of the true inheritors in the mountain gate have no idea what this is.
Their level is too low to recognize a miracle even when it is before their eyes.
Wang Xuan has left his first Heaven and Earth Seal belonging to himself.
This already indicates that even if an Immortal were to retrain, the limit combat power in the Celestial Tier Domain would not surpass him!
Such a thing never happened in the past.
Even if an Immortal witnessed it, they would be amazed for a long time and have to exclaim how the waves of the Yangtze River push the previous ones forward.
To leave a Heaven and Earth Seal at this age, should this young man achieve immortality, the combat power of this Heaven and Earth Seal would likely leave many future generations seeking the domain limit in despair.
The limit realm holders of that time will have a significant problem in surviving the tribulation.
The aura of the Heaven and Earth Seal grows increasingly profound, and as Wang Xuan’s strength increases, the Heaven and Earth Seal continuously strengthens.
...
At the main peak of Immortal Martial Mountain, the trials of young people are nearing conclusion, with four arenas constantly challenged by the young, attempting to ascend the top.
The final arena defenders, all outstanding talents of the highest caliber, with exceptional talent beyond doubt.
After a day of competition, sixteen arena masters emerged, four of which overlapped positions, leaving merely twelve at present.
Earth Realm masters include the True Holy Sect’s Young King, Ancient Divine Teachings’ Young God, Immortal Martial Mountain’s Hongze, Celestial Sword Mountain’s Gai Xuanyuan, Jade God Tower’s Chen Jie.
Celestial Realm masters comprise Divine Hall of Death’s Spiritual Path True Son, Son of the War God Yafu, Slavic Bear King, and Morgan Family’s Pirlo.
Celestial Realm masters have Brahma Heaven City’s Young Emperor, Celestial Sword Mountain’s Shi Jingxian, Immortal Martial Mountain’s Zhou Chengwu. These two, despite being at the Star Lord Peak and aiming for Super Star Position, are conveniently under a hundred years old.
Perhaps other holy lands have yet-to-rise or hidden stars, but the majority of strong young elites from Earth Civilization are gathered here.
Each of the twelve arena masters received a prize, but the greatest opportunity, their primary reason for coming, has yet to be attained.
Because young people who laugh to the end will have a chance for a medicinal bath baptism.
The main ingredients for this medicinal bath include the blood of half-step Immortal creatures from alien races, ancient Immortal Medicine that has lived for hundreds of thousands of years, Dragon Marrow Liquid from Dragon Veins, and more.
A single medicinal bath would be enough to bankrupt a Void True Immortal, and it’s sufficient to solidify these twelve’s foundations or significantly advance their cultivation level.
Such an opportunity, considering their status and position, why wouldn’t they vie for it, even at the cost of their pride?
You should know several young leaders of Immortal Holy Lands were defeated by peers, which in such a setting could be hugely embarrassing.
"If the Immortal Martial Taoist hadn’t left, this medicinal bath’s number of slots might have been a few fewer," the Bear King patted Hongze’s shoulder, causing the young man to grimace in pain.
"Your master likely couldn’t care to compete for this. Besides, the rewards from this wedding banquet are enough to create dozens of this kind of medicinal baths." Yafu retorted with some disdain, "I think he’s just afraid of losing face, though his cultivation speed and combat power are indeed impressive."
The comprehension, will, and foundation, may not necessarily compare to ours.
Moreover, if Immortal Martial Mountain can offer us these benefits, naturally he won’t be shortchanged."
Hongze was aware of the friction between Yafu and his master, and held resentment, constantly viewing the other with a biased perspective.
"My master excels in the Path of Creation, he once helped my second junior apprentice to undergo transformation, establishing a superb foundation.
As for my master’s own foundation, it is exceedingly profound, unmatched in this era. Whether this medicinal bath can affect him is still an unknown."
Hongze’s admiration for his master is beyond the knowledge of outsiders.
Once a teacher, forever a father; Wang Xuan’s care for him surpasses that of his unreliable biological father by far.
It can be said that after meeting Wang Xuan, his fate was directly transformed, soaring upwards to achieve his current status.
Not to mention the cultivation technique, resources, merely the protection for him, the guidance in cultivation, enlightenment in the Limit Domain, owe him profound gratitude.
The fact that he could guide someone like him who achieved the Limit Domain, his master’s brilliance, leaves Hongze bewildered, left only to look up to him.
"Just being stubborn." Yafu, the Son of the War God, snorted coldly.
In his view, although Wang Xuan’s cultivation was rapid, he was at the Peak of Divine Infant just a few months ago, and now at most the Middle and Early Jade Platform Stage.
No matter how exceptional one might be, the Jade Platform Realm requires time for accumulation and the gradual refinement of foundations.
Just the Middle and Early Jade Platform Stage! It’s nothing to him.
The bickering of the young ones was merely laughed off by the True Immortals outside the White Jade Square, with Hong Xuanji appearing as if he didn’t hear them, accommodating the arrogance of the juniors.
With a wave of Hong Xuanji’s hand, a bronze tripod appeared on the White Jade Square, with a blue flickering flame beneath it, boiling the liquid inside, causing it to froth.
Immortal Elixir herbs of True Tier sank and floated, occasionally revealing eerie white bones.
After being concocted by Alchemy Dao experts, the liquid in this tripod was practically the same as an Immortal Pill about to be completed.
"Enter, all of you."
With another wave of Hong Xuanji’s hand, twelve people on the White Jade Square fell into the bronze tripod, their clothes mysteriously gone.
As they fell into the bronze tripod, the medicinal power soon permeated their marrow, making their whole body feel scorching, their blood boiling like steamed crabs.
As time passed, they continuously absorbed the essence from the liquid, deeply washing and refining their marrow.
At their level, their potential has reached nearly an apex, their foundation seeking to evolve further can only be achieved by raising their cultivation level.
Wishing to elevate their foundation without changing their cultivation level is extraordinarily difficult; otherwise, the resource-rich Immortal Holy Lands would desperately be nurturing juniors in this manner every day.
This bronze tripod of rare resourceful liquid is ultimately a world-class treasure, even the Slavic Bear King and others covet the opportunity.
As time passed, they each gradually became more intense in momentum, their tendons and bones increasingly resembling jade’s luster.
Time quickly flew by five to six hours; many bodies no longer felt the potent stimulation of the medicinal power, evidently having absorbed the essence to their limit.
In just a few hours, most of their foundations advanced slightly forward, though not much, yet enough to make them elated.
Only they truly understood how much time, effort, and resources it would take them to make this tiny step forward on their own.
"The opportunity is rare, I must seize this tripod’s medicinal liquid to make a breakthrough."
Yafu, the Son of the War God, flashed a gleam in his eyes, the essence within the bronze tripod having been absorbed by them, leaving only thirty to forty percent remaining.
What’s left would only allow three to five Celestial Immortals to ascend slightly with one or two steps.
If he doesn’t seize the opportunity, he fears he’ll fall behind others.
With a thought, he loosened his long-suppressed cultivation level, his presence bursting forth, ready to welcome the impending Celestial Tribulation.
True Immortals from Mount Olympus stroked their beards and smiled, his sect’s Son of the War God was indeed extraordinarily gifted.
Overlooking the multitude, Hong Xuanji glanced east towards heavens.
A storm is brewing.
At Black and White Mountain, that Heaven and Earth Seal was eager to merge into the heavens, but Wang Xuan’s qi continued to ascend relentlessly.
As Wang Xuan’s Seal, it naturally wouldn’t abandon the mother unless fully matured.
But the Celestial Tribulation clouds gathering afar were calling weakly, this call becoming stronger with time.
Every cultivator breaking through Earth, Celestial, and True Great Realm would face the test of Celestial Tribulation.
Among them, the most outstanding would face special tests given by the heavens, for mere thunder tribulations can’t manifest the strength of these paragons.
As mighty as Wang Xuan, he faced the seals of the Dragon Race Great Saint and Unparalleled Sword Immortal in their youth, and fought them head-on without defeat.
"Son of the Witch God, Celestial Arrival Dharma King, we three have been cultivating in Jade Platform Realm for over ten years, I shall be the first to step forward to witness the True Immortal Realm’s scenery!"
Yafu, the Son of the War God, laughed heartily, advancing toward the tribulation thunder.
