These thirty-six were Saints who had surpassed the rules of the Great Dao. They were considered the pinnacle of the Immortal World, yet they had to sneak back for fear of being discovered.
Of course, this was indeed the best solution for the current situation.
Their only chance was to blow up the passageway and scare off the invaders. While they were at a loss, they could sneak into the Immortal World and develop.
This would protect both themselves and the human race.
Su Yin frowned slightly. "The passageway is guarded. It's not that easy to enter the Immortal World, is it?"
Song Yu said, "That's right. With your current strength, you'll be discovered even if you're lucky enough to enter the passageway!"
Su Yin: "Then …"
Song Yu: "I didn't say I was going through here!"
Su Yin was stunned. "Is there another passageway from the Spirit Abyss Realm to the Immortal World?"
If there really was such a place, it would have been discovered long ago.
Song Yu: "It's the Heaven Origin Realm's Jadefall Sea. There's a passageway from here to the Immortal World … When we were sealed here, Old Su secretly left a secret passageway! Lin Xuan used this passageway to sneak into the Immortal World! "
Old Su, Needle Saint Su Xiuyi, could easily pierce through realms with a single needle. It was somewhat similar to the Demon Race's sacrificial path.
Su Yin's eyes lit up. "Ancestor Lin Xuan went to the Immortal World?"
There were many legends about Lin Xuan on the continent, but there were no records of his death or where he went. It turned out that he had already gone to the Immortal World.
Song Yu nodded. "This passageway can only be opened by those who have received our inheritance. No one in the Heaven Origin Realm or the Immortal World knows about it. However … there are a lot of spatial turbulence here, making it very dangerous. With your physical strength, you won't die, but you'll probably suffer some physical pain!"
Su Yin heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at Song Yu in confusion. "I only know about True Immortals. What other realms are there? Also, what realm has my physical body reached? "
A full-powered attack from a sixth-level True Immortal was no different from a scratch. This meant that his physical body had already surpassed this realm.
This time, Song Yu didn't answer. Instead, Yang Xuan answered, "The Heaven Origin Realm is divided into nine ranks: Juxi, Origin Casting, Transcending Mortal, Transcendent Mortal, Divine Palace, Grandmaster, Inheritance, Eternal, and Void Immortal. There weren't that many realms in the Celestial World. There were only six of them: True Immortal, Golden Immortal, Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, Dao Fusing, Half Sage, and Sage! Just like the False Immortal Realm, the first five realms are divided into nine minor levels. "
"Giant Demon Clan's Qiong Yuan, Stage One True Immortal. The leader of the tomb keepers, Stage Six True Immortal!"
"You have seen this realm before. As long as one's cultivation reaches the Pseudo Immortal realm, one will be able to reach it. The level of existence is vastly different from that of a Pseudo Immortal. With the nourishment of immortal energy, one's lifespan will be extended significantly.
"Gold Immortals can already use the profound meaning of the Great Dao to unleash extremely powerful combat strength! The tortoise and parrot's physical bodies are more or less at this level, able to borrow a portion of the power of rules to move the great dao. However, when facing a true expert, it's not much at all. "
"Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals can fully tap into the great dao. In the Celestial World, they can be considered as lords of a region. That Donkey is more or less at this level."
"As for you, after ten years of learning, every time you reach the pinnacle of an occupation, you will receive a reward from the heavens under our guidance. This reward will continuously temper your physical body and make it stronger! In terms of pure physical body, you are more or less at the Dao Fusing level! "
"Dao Fusing?" Su Yin was stunned. He did not expect himself to be so powerful.
"This is a realm where one can incorporate the great dao into one's body. One is the dao, and the dao is the person … You can be considered as standing at the peak of the Celestial World," Yang Xuan said.
"However, your physical body has only reached this level, and it's a passive one at that. Only your defense is comparable to a Dao Fusing cultivator, but your offense is much weaker! At most, you are comparable to a True Immortal … "
Su Yin was speechless. "In other words, I'm a meat shield?"
"What's a meat shield?"
"It's a human-shaped shield …"
"Something like that!" Yang Xuan nodded. "Logically speaking, we can impart to you the Great Dao of Transport, just like the tortoise and the others. That way, your offense will at least reach the pinnacle of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. However … your body has been fused with the traces of our great dao. Once you use it, it's very likely that your opponent will notice it!"
Su Yin's lips twitched. "Does that mean that I can only passively take a beating in the Celestial World?"
Yang Xuan shook his head. "You can't say that. As long as you can find our sage bodies and refine them, you will be able to conceal the corresponding great dao and unleash the combat prowess of a Quasi-Sage. Of course, you can't use them casually. Otherwise, if a Quasi-Sage suddenly appears, it will be quite suspicious!"
Su Yin: "Sage bodies?"
Yang Xuan: "They are our physical bodies after death!"
Su Yin was taken aback. "Could it be that … there aren't any in these graves?"
He had thought that what was buried in the graves were corpses. If their physical bodies were not there, what was inside?
"When one's cultivation reaches the level of a Sage, one's physical body is indestructible and indestructible. Furthermore, it contains inscriptions and power that surpass the great dao. It can be considered one of the top treasures in the Celestial World. Since our opponents killed us, how could they possibly leave our corpses behind?"
Yang Xuan shook his head with a bitter smile. "What's left in these graves are merely the clothes that we wore when we were alive!"
Su Yin was speechless.
It was no wonder that they were not even a match for a True Immortal. In the end, they were just the remnant wills that were born in their clothes.
Su Yin continued asking, "Then … what about the corpses?"
Yang Xuan shook his head. "I don't know where they are in the Celestial World. We are just the remnant wills of our clothes when they were alive. We don't know how they were killed, whether their physical bodies self-destructed or were preserved."
"Alright!" Su Yin did not ask any more questions.
Thirty-six Ancient Sages had fallen at the same time. Without even thinking about it, one could imagine how terrifying that battle was.
Even if the bodies of Sages were indestructible and indestructible, they could even be killed. It was hard to say whether they could be preserved.
…
Su Yin learned the truth of what had happened ten thousand years ago. In the Celestial World, there were indeed many cultivators standing by the side of the passageway. There were at least several hundred of them.
Each of them had a powerful aura, and there was no lack of Golden Immortals among them. The leader of the tomb keepers was a sixth-tier True Immortal, but he was nothing here.
"What do we do now?"
Seeing that the passageway had been resealed, a middle-aged man with three strands of beard looked over.
"Even if Yang Xuan, Li Qiaofu, and the others have not recovered, they are still the remnant wills of the Sages. They are not people that we can deal with. I think we should report this to the Sages as soon as possible and let them make a decision!"
"I think so too. The matters of the Sages will naturally be handled by them. We can't interfere!"
"In order to prepare for the Five Decays of the Heavens that occur once every ten thousand years, the Sages are all in seclusion. Who would dare to disturb them?"
"When they were killed back then, not even their corpses were left behind. They are just remnant wills that were born in their clothes. Even if they are powerful, how powerful can they be? We'll just wait here. They probably won't dare to come over! "
"That's true. Let's wait here for the Sages to come out of seclusion before we make a decision!"
It did not take long for them to come to a decision.
In a battle between Sages, they were nothing more than cannon fodder. It would be best if they did not interfere. Otherwise, they would not even know how they died.
…
"If you have made up your mind to enter the Celestial World, you should hurry up. Once the Celestial World realizes what is going on, mankind will not be able to stop them!"
After saying what needed to be said, the remnant wills turned their gazes toward Zhang Xuan.
Even though they had given Zhang Xuan a solution and some suggestions, the final decision still depended on the young man.
If he was unwilling to take the risk, he could only agree to it.
To put it bluntly, they were just a bunch of indignant remnant wills. Their lives had truly been extinguished.
Su Yin fell silent.
Entering the Celestial World was bound to be dangerous, but if he were to remain here, there would be no Spiritual Energy of Immortality. If the Celestial World were to realize what was going on and launch a full-scale attack on him, as the disciple of an Ancient Sage, he would be in even greater danger!
It could be said that he was caught between a rock and a hard place.
"Can I bring Dahei and the others with me?"
"Of course! They are your tamed beasts. As long as you place them in a tamed beast sack, there is a good chance that they will be able to pass through the spacetime turbulence!" Yang Xuan said.
"Very well, let's head over to take a look then!" Su Yin nodded.
It had only taken him a total of seven days to reach the pinnacle of the world and prepare to enter the next world. Compared to the hundreds or even thousands of years that other cultivators had to spend, this was definitely the fastest time he had ever spent!
"However, before we leave, there are some things that I would like to prepare!"
The remnant wills nodded in agreement.
Su Yin did not say anything else. He flew along the passageway that he had come from, and it did not take long for him to return to Demon Imperial City.
At this moment, the giant demons had already been wiped out. The human race had won a huge victory.
Upon seeing Zhang Xuan, Gu Ling'er hurriedly flew over and said, "Brother Ya, we found a few human experts in Demon Imperial City. They claim to be from the Immortal Subjugation Sect. Do you want me to bring them over for you to take a look?"
Su Yin frowned.
The Immortal Subjugation Sect was extremely far away from here. How did they get here?
Despite his doubts, he still nodded in agreement.
Not too long later, more than a dozen severely injured and emaciated middle-aged and old men were brought over. Their eyes were withered, and their auras were turbid. It was clear that they had all suffered severe injuries.
"Junior Nephew Li Maosheng?" Su Yin was stunned. "You're not dead?"
They were none other than the 'fallen' Sect Master, Grand Elder, and the others seven days ago!
Didn't their Soul Jade Amulet shatter after entering the Azure Sea?
How did they end up here, imprisoned in Demon Imperial City?
"You are …" Li Maosheng asked doubtfully.
Su Yin nodded. "I am Su Yin!"
When he was brought into the sect by his' senior brother ', he was only an eight-year-old child. Now that he was eighteen, he had changed a lot. Naturally, Li Maosheng would not be able to recognize him, but his appearance remained the same.
"Junior … Junior Uncle Su?" Li Maosheng was stunned. He could not believe his eyes. "Why are you here?"
They were in the depths of the Spirit Abyss. Wasn't Junior Uncle Su in seclusion? Why was he here all of a sudden?
"Don't worry about me. You should be in the Azure Sea. Furthermore, your Soul Jade Amulet shattered. Why are you all fine?" Su Yin asked curiously.
"It's a long story …" Li Maosheng did not dare to hide the truth from his Junior Uncle Su. He told him everything that had happened to him, the Grand Elder, and the others.
Just as he had guessed, they had been bewitched by Patriarch Qiong Yuan, who was sealed in the Indigo Wood Immortal Hairpin. They thought that they would be able to achieve a breakthrough by going to the Azure Sea and solve the problem of the Immortal-Suppressing Sect. They never thought that they would be captured and brought to the altar.
Their blood was used as a sacrifice to open a passage to the Immortal World.
As for why their blood was able to open a passage, Su Yin finally understood.
The Immortal-Suppressing Sect was founded by Lin Xuan. He had inherited the heritage of the remnant wills of the Immortal World, so there was a hint of 'Dao' in his blood. He was the existence that the 'Saints' of the Immortal World were after. That was why the 'Immortals' opened a passage and gave him the Immortal Qi.
The reason why Patriarch Qiong Yuan did not kill them was because he wanted to keep them alive so that he could use them as sacrifices to obtain more treasures.
After hearing their story, Su Yin roughly understood why their Soul Jade Amulets had shattered. There were two main reasons. Firstly, they knew that they had no chance of survival after being captured, so they severed their connection with the Soul Jade Amulets so that those in the sect could make preparations in advance. Secondly, after being captured and brought to the Spirit Abyss Realm, their souls and strength had been sealed, so they were no different from being dead. It was precisely because of this that the humans won a complete victory and rescued them. They were all dumbfounded.
"We heard that the Sect Assembly has been brought forward. Has the Immortal-Suppressing Sect been reduced to a second-rate sect? Or has it been destroyed?"
Seeing that his Junior Uncle Su had already understood the situation, Li Maosheng asked carefully.
If a sect that had existed for more than ten thousand years was destroyed because of his greed, even if he managed to survive, he would not be able to absolve himself from the blame.
"That's not the case."
Su Yin chuckled softly. "The Immortal-Suppressing Sect has already surpassed the Qingyun Sect to become the number one sect in the Great Yan Continent …"
"How is that possible?" Li Maosheng and the other elders stared at one another in disbelief.
As the elders of the Immortal-Suppressing Sect, they were well aware of the situation in the sect. On top of that, they had been imprisoned … How could they possibly emerge victorious in the Sect Assembly?
"This …"
Su Yin was just about to explain when Gu Yunqiu suddenly flew over and said, "Young friend Su Yin, I have already arranged for everyone to begin cultivating, but … their progress has been slow. Can you come over and conduct a lesson for them? I have already told them that they are willing to join the Immortal-Suppressing Sect as a part of it … "
The news from the Great Yan Continent had also reached them, and the hall master of the Elder Council had learned of the young man's legendary story and the many changes that had taken place in the Great Yan Continent.
"Conduct a lesson?" Su Yin was taken aback.
"That's right!" Gu Yunqiu nodded. "I am also willing to join the Immortal-Suppressing Sect as an ordinary elder!"
"We are also willing …"
Following that, a series of shouts rang out. Dozens of peak ninth level Void Immortal experts released their powerful energy at the same time, tearing the sky apart.
Su Yin had already planned to raise the strength of the human race, so he did not waste any time. He followed closely behind Gu Yunqiu and flew toward the entrance of the passage.
"The hall master of the Dry Origin Alliance's hall is willing to join the Immortal-Suppressing Sect?"
"So many ninth level Void Immortals want to become elders of the sect?"
"Why do they respect Young Martial Uncle so much? They even want him to conduct a lesson? Isn't Young Martial Uncle only 18 years old? "
"What happened?"
Li Maosheng and the other elders looked at each other again when they saw this scene. They were all dumbfounded.
It felt like only seven days had passed …
Why did it feel like seven hundred or seven thousand years had passed?
Can someone tell me what's going on?
