The Elysium Across Deep Space - Chapter 468: Everyone Is A Mighty Hunter
The news was astonishing. It was unclear if someone had obtained the Immortal Umbrella, the Divine Palace, and the Pool of Life, or if they remained elusive due to some special circumstances. They did not give people the chance to find them even in resonance.
This grand event was manipulated by someone. The mighty beings from the Land of the Undying and the Land of Divine marched backwards into the Land of Immortals. They were intending to seize the treasures that frequently appeared there!
“They are full of ambition and do not care about the lives of others. They had enticed some mighty beings into fierce battles and had offered blood sacrifices here to induce resonance of the treasures. Then, that prepared bunch of gods went to capture the Sword of Mortal, the Roaming Ark, and the Ascension Banner.”
“Once they succeed, they’ll immediately turn back and force the hidden Immortal Umbrella, the Divine Palace, and the Pool of Life to reveal themselves. They are intending to gather all the treasures!”
People were in panic because many transcendents were losing their realms. No one was calm in such a major event. It concerned their future. Some said it was initiated by the ancestors of the Land of Divine’s Superlative Palace and the Land of the Undying’s Imperial Palace of Gouchen, while others claimed that the Technological Life Realm had also participated.
In outer space, everyone looked pale as they struggled to resist. They were unwilling to lose much of their progress.
At that moment, Qing Mu was completely dumbfounded and mentally dazed. He sat in the spaceship and was hardly able to believe it. Disaster had struck from above when he had just become a transcendent, and now he was shaken back!
Recently, his strength had skyrocketed while refining the Creation True Crystal and he had even reached the late stage. Yet, he returned to where he was before in the blink of an eye.
“I’m back to Grandmaster level?” he murmured. If it were a year ago, he would have been overjoyed because it was a breakthrough. Now, a blow had struck which turned him back to being a mortal. This was a bit harsh and he found it difficult to accept this situation.
“How miserable. I’ve fallen back to Ma Third Stage. Is this world sick or something? It trembles for no reason. In an instant, the results of my hard practice have been reduced to dust!” said Transcendent Ma. He was very hurt, almost coughing up blood. He had fallen from the Fourth Rank.
Little Fox was dizzy and was about to explode with anger as she had been shaken back to the Fourth Stage. Zhao Qinghan retreated to the Third Stage but she remained relatively calm. Wu Yin dropped from the Second Stage to the First Stage and was feeling apprehensive. She would also return to the mortal realm If she was shaken again.
“Don’t capture images from my master’s side. Check on how Wang Xuan is doing!” said Qing Mu. He wanted to confirm if Wang Xuan was the cause. He knew very well that trouble would arise outside once Old Wang seriously focused on cultivation. It was really absurd!
“His emotions are stable. There’s no turmoil and no shouting. He’s just frowning and thinking about things there. He’s not practicing at all.” The Mechanical Little Bear reported as it scanned with seriousness.
This has nothing to do with Wang Xuan? Qing Mu was depressed, lamenting how difficult it was. He had only been a transcendent for less than a month, and he was thrown back to square one. It was too heartbreaking for him.
At that moment, the situation of the mighty ones in the mortal realm was also somewhat difficult. They were all resisting the tremor. They would also lose their realms if they didn’t use all their means.
But it had to be said, these people were very strong. They had developed some resistance after having experienced multiple tremors. They managed to hold on this time. Some of them were even using this opportunity to track the traces of the treasures. Most of the mighty beings managed to barely maintain the realms of their incarnations in the mortal realm. Their realms did not fall but the process was extremely perilous.
Of course, at this level, a few were careless and fell to the second level of the Wanderer Realm as their foundations were not invincible to begin with. Among them, the person in the Ascension Palace kicked down half of a great hall and looked expressionlessly at the sky. He resided here, but had surprisingly encountered a great calamity and couldn’t withstand it. He was now weaker than the avatars of other mighty beings.
Now, Wang Xuan patiently waited for this gathering to end. He was planning to leave this contentious place. He didn’t want to get involved in the mess as he felt that the actions of all parties this time would be significant.
During this period, he had been contemplating his path. He silently cultivated and thought about how to subdue those incarnations. He wanted to advance to the Twelfth Realm, which required suppressing them and merging his spiritual avatars.
“Relying on external objects like the lid of the furnace is not wise. The so-called fusion of the gods refers to having enough strength to subdue them myself. Only when the spirit is fully integrated can it be considered complete. Otherwise, even if forcibly combined it would only be a patchwork and it would still be like a cracked porcelain.” muttered Wang Xuan to himself. He had gained insights. He corroborated his path from various scriptures and enhanced his strength. How to suppress all his avatars was a problem he pondered every moment.
“They are me, and I am them. Each avatar is very strong and understands all my methods. How can I fight against nearly ten of myself alone?” pondered Wang Xuan. He frowned deeply. This was a practical problem, meaning he had to significantly increase his strength in the short term to suppress them. It also meant that he could almost enter the Twelfth Realm if he could vigorously enhance himself.
“I can do what they can do. The Stone Tablet Scripture, the Sutra of Shakyamuni, the Golden Bamboo Slip, the Spirit Coffin Grand Technique…… Unless I choose one of them and make breakthroughs in the near future!” he said to himself. Those people also understood even the great mentally ill method although the scripture pages were thrown in the ethereal realm.
“It’s not realistic. I’ve comprehended almost all of these scriptures, and they are on the same path as me. It’s hard to have a qualitative change in the short term.” pondered Wang Xuan. Soon, he thought of his advantage. He far surpassed them having his flesh and spirit unified. Daily cultivation could complement each other.
“The Golden Cicada Technique, the Butterfly Transformation Technique, the Ants Gazing Dragon Scripture… These are the most suitable for the combined cultivation of body and spirit to undergo transformation. They cannot resonate with the flesh, so there won’t be significant achievements in the near future.”
Could it be that he had to start with these techniques? However, he felt somewhat unwilling as these were preparations he made for himself after establishing his foundation in the Twelfth Realm. He was harboring some ambitions.
Because practicing these techniques of Nirvana could have miraculous effects once perfected. It could lead to a qualitative advancement, both physically and spiritually. He thought that it would be somewhat wasteful to use them now to enhance himself to the limit.
“Of course, there’s also a very bad possibility that the effects later on may not be as ideal if I don’t use them now.” He believed that techniques like the Golden Cicada Technique and the Ants Gazing Dragon Scripture were all laws established in the mythological realm. Now that he had reached the theoretical limit, it was uncertain whether they would be as effective. This was an unsettling question that troubled him.
Would I waste a perfect opportunity for Nirvana?
“I still have a supreme scripture that I haven’t practiced yet, now might be a good time to try to comprehend it.” muttered Wang Xuan as he thought of the Five-colored Jade Scripture. This scripture was obtained from Old Zhong’s study. At that time, he gained nothing no matter how he looked at it or resonated with its meanings, so he could only keep it in mind.
“It’s still difficult. This scripture seems incompatible with this extraordinary world and should belong to a bygone civilization. It requires a long time to ponder over it.” pondered Wang Xuan. Wang Xuan was considering various methods. Finally, he was startled. He thought of his most distinctive feature, his special inner landscape!
“Can I use it to enhance myself?” Wang Xuan asked himself.
In fact, the mystery genome and the trans material that was close to the truth in the inner landscape were not very effective for him. It wasn’t an issue of energy deficiency. But there was one characteristic that caught his attention and made him excited. The spiritual sense in the inner landscape was multiplied many times which was equivalent to stealing time.
“It’ll be unimaginable if my spiritual sense could be as active elsewhere. I would definitely be able to subdue those spiritual avatars!” exclaimed Wang Xuan. However, that was a characteristic of the inner landscape.
How could I maintain this ability after leaving?
He was at a loss for a moment.
Boom!
Another violent tremor shook the world and caused many transcendent beings to turn pale.
Was it starting again? Was there no end to this? Did they want to completely destroy the transcendent world?!
No one had expected that the tremors would continue without stopping. Shortly afterward, there was even more explosive news.
“The Ascension Banner seems to have been obtained by the collaboration of the mighty beings from the Land of the Undying and the Land of Divine!” With this news, the entire atmosphere became even more subdued.
Has the most ferocious hunter succeeded? Was all this arrangement just to fulfill their wishes?
Moments later, there was another bombshell of news.
“There’s been an accident. The Immortal Realm is fraught with great danger. The Sword of Mortal has had an owner for many years, it was already refined and was intentionally left outside. Now, terrifying beings wielding the Sword of Mortal have acted and are causing heavy losses to the Land of the Undying and the Land of Divine. Some mighty beings have died!” one person reported.
“My word, what’s going on? The Sword of Mortal wasn’t just recently obtained by someone, but it was truly refined and possessed for many years? It can even be safely kept outside now?!” People were dumbfounded, the situation was extremely complicated, and the news was too astounding. It was constantly changing.
“It is reported that the mighty beings that recently rushed from the Immortal Realm had sensed something amiss. Upon learning of the event here, they deliberately came over which left the large rear area vacant…….” a person said. As this rumor spread, all parties were stunned. They felt more and more that this wave of turmoil was all caused by reapers that wielded sickles. They had not a single good intention and were all deliberately digging pits.
“They are all hunters, all carnivores. This is getting terrifying!” someone exclaimed.
People originally thought that the rear of the Immortal Realm had been raided by the mighty beings of the Land of the Undying and the Land of Divine. But now, it was hard to say who the victims were.
All the factions were highly vigilant and all were on guard. The Immortal Realm and the Great Barrier were in complete chaos, with the blood of mighty beings flowing.
“Goodness, there’s another new theory circulating. The Sword of Mortal in the Immortal Realm was refined by a giant from the ancient times who should have died, and our Divine Palace here was also refined by a giant from the ancient times, hence their invisibility. This time, the mighty beings of the Land of the Undying and the Land of Divine exchanged information after a secret discussion with Fang Yuzhu, the Demon Lord, and others. They complemented each other’s strengths and exchanged battlefields. While targeting the ancient giant, they are cooperating on one hand while setting traps for each other……” one person reported. The Great Barrier and the present world were all in chaos. Apart from the mighty beings, no one knew the truth and no one knew the real situation.
Even Wang Xuan was stunned when he heard about it. But one thing was certain, all parties were hunters and none of them were vegetarians. It was still hard to say who would ultimately gain something and who would shed no blood.
Boom!
The Great Barrier trembled, and this time the impact was even more profound. There were supreme runes interweaving and the aura of supreme treasures pervading. The vivid light was expanding.
“Someone…… is refining supreme treasures in this era. It’s those people who rushed over from the Immortal Realm. Her bracelet is glowing. It’s a Dao-level treasure!” one person shouted.
“Three changes in one day, the mighty beings have gone mad. They dare to do anything!” another exclaimed.
