Chapter 728: 0452 Absolute Peak Junior Brother (Requesting double monthly tickets)

True Spirit Sect.

With a history even older than the Four Heavenly Sects, the Path Breaker [Spirit Ancestor] had once been infinitely close to the Great Power Realm but ultimately disappeared mysteriously within the dust of history.

Some say the True Spirit Sect offended the Divine Court and was wiped out overnight by a deity; others say the True Spirit Sect’s cultivation path had flaws, and all turned into mutant beasts.

The reasons are many and varied.

The answers are buried within the long river of time.

After listening to his senior brother recount the history of the True Spirit Sect, Lu Chenzhou was deep in thought. He believed that Elephant Form and the True Spirit Sect were different and thus should not doubt Elephant Form because of them.

Elephant Form—like tiger, eagle, dragon—resembles all things in the world, but at its core... is to resemble humans!

This distinguishes it from the True Spirit Sect.

The ideology of the True Spirit Sect, similar to the later Heavenly Fighting Sect, was to pursue power and lose themselves in non-human forms.

To Lu Chenzhou, this is abandoning the root for the branch.

Of course, if one can uncover the history of the True Spirit Sect’s extinction and learn from its lessons, it could be beneficial.

Buzz——

In front of the inheritance statue, Bai Feng’s figure appeared. He was sweating profusely, steam rising around him, his face flushed red. "It’s truly worthy of the Great Power; this trip was worth it," Bai remarked.

Mr. Turtle laughed and said, "Being able to withstand 81 moves is strong. Don’t be fooled by Lu defeating the middle-aged ancestor’s projection, but if he were to ascend to the Heavenly Realm, he might not be able to withstand a hundred moves in front of the ancestor. It gets harder as it progresses."

The ancestor was a typical example of thick accumulation and thin development.

The further it goes, the stronger it becomes.

Mr. Turtle believed firmly that if the ancestor hadn’t died, he would have one day surely been able to stand alongside the Four Emperors, suppressing ordinary divine beings.

"Bai Feng, are you willing to enter the ancestor’s gate as a direct disciple? The ancestor doesn’t understand Sword Dao, but he has a Great Power level swordsmanship collection. If you’re interested, I can pass it to you," Mr. Turtle asked.

Bai Feng was puzzled. "Sir, isn’t a hundred moves necessary to become a direct disciple of the ancestor? I don’t qualify, right?"

Mr. Turtle laughed, "The ancestor’s rules are fixed, but people are dynamic. You rose from the End of Dharma Era and successfully reached the Heavenly Realm. That slight close difference doesn’t matter."

In the Great Wilderness, within the seventh realm, regardless of aptitude, as long as one’s character passes, generally can enter the inner sect of the Great Power. In the eighth realm, Great Powers vie to accept direct inheritance.

The number of cultivators in the Great Wilderness reaches hundreds of millions, but those who enter the Heavenly Realm, across various sects and loose cultivators, and all the tribes of the Great Wilderness, only number a few thousand. Therefore, mediocrity is impossible.

The Heavenly Realm consists of children of fortune, peerless geniuses.

Figures like Da Xia are born from the most challenging times, harder even than the Great Wilderness.

There are no resources, no teachers.

They have come this far with the determination of Heavenly Masters, Lv Ancestor, Dharma, and these pioneers blazing the trail on their own.

Mr. Turtle understood all of these.

He knew there were others like the ancestor, Great Powers, who hid Cave Heaven inheritances in other legendary worlds and famous old Three Thousand Worlds during the Great Wilderness Period, hidden in the "Great World." But he favored this place more, he and the ancestor both believed in the insight of Chi Ji God.

"Disciple Bai Feng, wishes to join the ancestor’s gate."

Bai Feng immediately performed a grand ceremony toward the ape statue.

Mr. Turtle said, "Then you are the ancestor’s nineteenth direct disciple, Lu Chenzhou is the eighteenth."

Lu Chenzhou’s inner thoughts: My junior is a peerless genius?

Too strange, better to continue addressing him as senior.

Bai Feng looked at Lu Chenzhou and smiled:

"Senior brother, please take care of me."

"..."

"Hahaha." Mr. Turtle couldn’t help but laugh. He said seriously, "Junior Brother Bai, I will pass onto you the first eight layers of the ’Infinite Sword Scripture’ acquired from one of the Ancient Five Immortals, [Carefree Sword Immortal]. Cultivate to perfection and you can reach the eighth realm. Of course, Martial Artists and Qi Refiners are different, focus on self as the principal, and use this method as a reference to verify your path. I don’t have the ninth layer."

"Thank you, senior brother."

As Bai Feng received the inheritance, the Sword Spirit in Lu Chenzhou’s mind couldn’t help but say: [It’s actually the ’Infinite Sword Scripture,’ what an excellent thing. This Bai Feng is going to soar. Lu Chenzhou, I don’t want to be with you anymore, I want to go with Bai Feng.]

"Go ahead then."

[...I’m just kidding. I’m waiting for you to give me a daughter with the appearance of the Four Emperors. I want to train her to be the strongest female Sword Immortal in the world.]

"You’re overestimating me."

[You just need to find a Daoist couple with the appearance of Great Power, give birth to a love child, I’ll take care of the child.]

"Great Power appearance... You really dare to dream."

[I feel Yaochi Immortal is not bad, by the way, Long Yue from the Water Mansion should be alright too, although their chances of becoming a Great Power aren’t high, there’s still hope.]

On the other side, Mr. Turtle said:

"Among the Ancient Great Powers, the Sword Dao was the foremost, totaling one Emperor and five Immortals constituting six Great Powers. The Emperor was Emperor Xuan, the Five Immortals were Yu Sword Immortal, Zhou Sword Immortal, Hong Sword Immortal, Huang Sword Immortal, and Loose Practitioner Sword Ancestor: Carefree Sword Immortal..."

[Sword Spirit: Did you hear that? Sword is the foremost.]

"Carefree Sword Immortal had a good relationship with the ancestor, but he didn’t have a sect, only a few descendants, all of whom fell in war, so he entrusted the first eight layers of the sword scripture to the ancestor. If you can cultivate it, you should also be able to break the void and journey through the Three Thousand Worlds. You can use the sword scripture and the induction of [Carefree Cave Heaven] to seek inheritance."

Mr. Turtle said to Bai Feng.

"Understood, I will soon leave this realm, and pass through the Red Extreme Palace to enter the Three Thousand Worlds," Bai Feng said.

"That’s even better. Before leaving, you can try to challenge Yuanbao Mountain to see if you can select a spiritual weapon to recognize as master, as your treasure for protection on your journey." Mr. Turtle smiled.

"Good."

Bai Feng agreed without hesitation.

...

The next day.

"Finally out, haven’t been home in almost six years... Senior, are you leaving the Human World?"

Above Yun Meng Lake, Lu Chenzhou asked.

Bai Feng said, "Hmm, now that I have intimidated the Demon Palace a bit, they won’t dare to make big moves in the short term. As for the Red Lotus Demon Venerable, you don’t need to worry too much. All the Absolute Peaks, including the Dragon King before he left, have left behind trump cards. If he dares to appear, he won’t gain anything beneficial."

"Indeed, give me some more time, and I am confident I can catch up with this Red Lotus Demon Venerable and eradicate him."

Lu Chenzhou said confidently.

His growth was becoming faster and faster.

Bai Feng smiled and said, "Good, you need to have such courage. Next, the Human World will experience many significant events, like the change of the Taoist lineage leader, the Martial Arts Competition of the Heavenly Person List...

Previously, your cultivation was too low to be eligible to know about these. Now, looking at the Human World, as long as you don’t provoke some old demon emperors or heavenly kings, you are practically invincible.

If so, then advance bravely, strive for the top, display the magnificence of Wanxiang with your fists, and take on responsibilities proactively."

"I will."

"By the way, what level is your Phoenix Form?"

"’Phoenix Call to the Nine Heavens’ has reached Great Success."

"This fist technique, I have deduced to the level of a Supreme Divine Skill, but this is my path, and it may not suit you. With your talent, I won’t manage you."

"Senior, rest assured, I know my own mind."

"You have already become a Grandmaster; even if it’s a so-called Great Power, we can only take their advice as a reference, not follow it blindly. Preserve your independence."

"Alright."

"After reaching the Heavenly Realm, the cultivation of the Dao is the core. On your path forward, be it enemy or friend, with malicious or kind intentions, many will surely deny your Dao. You should take it as wind past your ear."

"I seek my own Dao."

"Additionally, when you Leap to Heaven, the first Divine Power is also very important. Follow your heart’s choice and remember: do not chase speed at the expense of quality. Your first Divine Power must fit your Dao. Think clearly before advancing. Divine Powers are the foundation for Martial Artists on the path to heaven! The Barrier that trapped you was the Divine Power of the Red Lotus Demon Venerable."

Lu Chenzhou understood.

Divine Powers were too powerful.

This had already surpassed the category of Martial Arts, in the Great Wilderness, the abilities mastered by the Heavenly Realm experts were called "Immortal Law."

Divine Powers being equivalent to Immortal Law is quite telling.

"Senior, daring to ask, what is your Divine Power?" Lu Chenzhou was very curious.

In the past, he was too far from the Absolute Peak.

Now, he was only two steps away.

Bai Feng took hold of Lu Chenzhou, took a step, and disappeared above Yun Meng Lake. Lu Chenzhou only felt countless lights flashing around him, and when he appeared again, he was already in outer space. He looked at the massive and enormous Xia Realm planet, blocking his view.

"Is this Senior’s Divine Power?"

Bai Feng said, "My Divine Power is called [Heavenly Escape Mysterious Light], evolved on the basis of ’Phoenix Call to the Nine Heavens.’ Once you master the Innate Divine Ability, Martial Arts becomes as natural as eating and drinking, becoming your instinct. Theoretically, the human body has 720 apertures, capable of nurturing 720 Divine Powers. In reality, wanting to cultivate a single Divine Power to perfection is as difficult as ascending to heaven. My [Heavenly Escape Mysterious Light] has just begun to scratch the surface, far from a true Great Divine Power."

"I understand."

Bai Feng, with a thought, took Lu Chenzhou back to the ground, where he rode on a white phoenix bird and said, "Keep it up, looking forward to the day your Divine Power descends upon the world. There’s one more thing, please take care of my little junior sister."

Bai Feng vanished into light.

"Curb impatience, curb impatience; in front of the Absolute Peak, I am still weak. This is the vast difference between the sea and the sky, the second super Heavenly Chasm on the path of cultivation." Lu Chenzhou sighed.

The root of it all lies in the Divine Powers.

...

Primordial Mountain Cave Heaven.

At the mountain peak, the Fox Woman said dejectedly, "The bad man, he actually looks down on me, even though I actively acknowledged him as my master."

The giant bear laughed heartily, "Serves you right for being smug."

"You laugh at me, yet they also look down on you," the Fox Woman snorted lightly. "I want to find a female master. I heard the Yaochi Immortal is not bad, but unfortunately, she’s traveling outside now."

Mr. Turtle smiled and gazed into the distance.

Before Brother Bai left, two Seventh Rank Spiritual Weapons chose to acknowledge him as their master, but he didn’t accept them. Brother Bai appeared gentle as jade on the surface, yet inside, he was extremely proud.

He wished to choose a higher Eighth Rank Spiritual Weapon:

[Wufeng’s Cry].

In Yuanbao Mountain, 24 Spiritual Weapons, 3 Ninth Rank, 6 Eighth Rank, 15 Seventh Rank, how proud the Eighth Rank Spiritual Weapons are!

But perhaps due to their compatibility, in any case, [Wufeng’s Cry] indeed followed Bai Feng away.

...

Wanxiang Dao Headquarters.

"Hahaha, finally out of the Cave Heaven."

"Bai Feng thanks Senior Wu for the help."

"No need to be polite, I’ve been cooped up too long, wanting to go out and feel the breeze sooner. Rest assured, young one, with my support from Grandmother Wutong, even the Eighth Realm coming won’t harm you. You can inquire in the Three Thousand Worlds, my master, the Ice Phoenix Immortal, is renowned throughout the Great Wilderness. In terms of strength and peerless talent, among the Female Fairies, only the Li Sword Immortal can be compared!"

"..."

The usually silent Bai Feng found.

This Artifact Spirit seemed to be a chatterbox.

But it’s fine; the journey wouldn’t be too dull.
