Chapter 834 - 68: Gatekeeper of the Lower Realm

Chapter 834: Chapter 68: Gatekeeper of the Lower Realm

Wei Ying was stunned, murmuring: "So that terrifying power which devours Divinity Transformation Cultivators actually comes from the Upper Realm?"

Chen Qingmo shook his head: "The Upper Realm cannot casually interfere with the realms below; this is an iron rule, even immortals from the Upper Realm cannot break it."

"But they can arrange a... Gatekeeper in the Lower Realm."

"You mean... the Immortal Flying Pavilion?" Wei Ying asked instinctively.

"I’m becoming increasingly satisfied with Fairy Wei, indeed, Yu Weixian is the Gatekeeper arranged on the Hongzhou Continent by the Upper Realm."

"He is ordered by the Upper Realm to guard this world; once someone reaches Divinity Transformation, he will kill them!"

"And he captures the opponent’s Spiritual Power, delivering it to the Upper Realm to alleviate their crisis of insufficient Spiritual Energy."

"For five hundred years, countless cultivators have labored to transform into Divinity, only to die wronged and become nourishment for the high-ranking immortals."

"It’s so pathetic, so lamentable!"

Wei Ying was left speechless, what Chen Qingmo said had already far exceeded her imagination.

If what Chen Qingmo said was true, then the cultivation realm on the Hongzhou Continent is not just a scam, but a death trap!

All the cultivators struggle to train, even fighting to the death over Spirit Stones, Spirit Marrow, and cultivation resources, just to one day ascend and become immortals.

But those who actually reach the Divinity Transformation Realm are one in ten thousand.

Yet when they finally go through countless trials of life and death, stepping into Divinity Transformation, seeing the hope of Ascension, that is when they meet their doom.

And the Spiritual Power they worked so hard to cultivate ultimately becomes nourishment for the Upper Realm, to sustain those lofty immortals!

Who could bear such a truth?

Wei Ying spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, feeling as if her Tao Heart was on the verge of collapse.

Chen Qingmo laughed: "When I first learned of this secret, I reacted just like you, but over the years I’ve figured it out, do you know why the people of the Upper Realm can treat us as nourishment?"

Chen Qingmo’s expression turned more and more ferocious: "Because they are stronger than us! They are a step above us! So if you don’t want to turn into nourishment, you must become like them!"

"As long as I become an immortal of the Upper Realm, I too can command the living of the Lower Realm at will, even, if I can control the Upper Realm, then countless Lower Realms like the Hongzhou Continent will all become my playthings!"

"I will be the Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds!"

Wei Ying stared blankly at the ferocious Chen Qingmo, suddenly let out a cold laugh:

"Just a Residual Soul occupying a body, you don’t even dare to enter Divinity Transformation, and you want to be the Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds?"

Chen Qingmo calmly said: "I will soon be able to complete my soul, and by then using your Spirit Pill I will avoid the Gatekeeper, naturally I will ascend to the Upper Realm, once I reach the Upper Realm, I will certainly stir up a storm!"

Wei Ying, bound all over, struggled constantly, shouting loudly:

"A Residual Soul simply cannot be completed, you are indulging in wishful thinking!"

"Soul Supplement Seal." Chen Qingmo said the three words lightly.

Then under Wei Ying’s fearful gaze, his appearance changed, his body became shorter, and even the plain clothes he wore turned into a long cyan dress.

Next, Chen Qingmo’s appearance and figure turned exactly the same as Wei Ying’s.

"Fairy Wei, do I look like her?"

Wei Ying’s mouth gaped, her face full of horror: "You, you..."

Chen Qingmo, now transformed into Wei Ying, even his voice turned as gentle and soft as hers, his smile elegant and charming.

He emitted a black aura from his hand, completely enveloping Wei Ying, then storing her into a jade bottle which he held in his arms.

And just like that, walked out of the room, calling below:

"Niansheng."

A moment later, Luo Niansheng came up: "Mother, what’s the matter?"

Chen Qingmo smiled: "Prepare yourself, tomorrow when Xiaolan, Qin Gengyun, and Saintess Xia descend from Immortal Flying Peak, I want to organize a banquet to celebrate for them."

...

Immortal Flying Peak.

The bright moon was covered by dark clouds, the mountain shrouded in immortal mist was enshrouded in darkness.

Along a mountain path, a child figure flitted in, entering a stone house built within the mountain wall.

The stone house was shrouded in several Imprisonment Arrays outside, and several Immortal Swords hung above the door.

Once an outsider stepped in, the array and swords would immediately slay the intruder.

But the child was quite familiar with the path, placing his chubby little hand on the stone door, making the array disappear, and the swords fall.

The child entered the stone door and saw a pure-looking girl sitting dumbfounded inside.

The originally sweet girl’s face was now somewhat darkened, with bloodstains at the corners of her mouth not yet wiped clean.

"Xiaohua?"

Seeing the child come in, the pure girl immediately asked:

"Is there anything to eat? I want to eat something."

The child was speechless: "Senior sister, at this time you’re still thinking about eating!"

Luo Xiaohong hugged her knees, sitting on the ground with her little mouth pouting, looking somewhat unhappy:

"If it were my husband and elder sister, they would definitely bring me something to eat!"

"Are you still talking about that scumbag?!" Xiaohua was going crazy: "If not for him, would your Tao Heart be shattered?"

Luo Xiaohong said: "But my husband taught me many things, if not for him and my elder sister, I wouldn’t know that there were so many fun and delicious things in the world."

Xiaohua helplessly slapped his forehead: "Senior sister, forget about that scumbag husband, I’m sneaking over while master is out purifying the world."

Ever since the World-Purifying Sword was created, Yu Weixian would climb along the massive sword blade from time to time up to the sky, and nobody knew what he went to do.

Today was precisely the day Yu Weixian ascended to purify the world, so Xiaohua took the opportunity to come find Luo Xiaohong.

"Senior sister, there’s something I need to tell you."

Xiaohua said seriously: "The World-Purifying is actually something you gave birth to."

Luo Xiaohong blinked, looking down between her legs: "The senior sis said women give birth to children here, but it’s so small here, how could such a big sword come out."

Xiaohua’s little face flushed red, almost choking on his own saliva.

"What on earth did they teach you?!"

Xiaohua finally controlled his emotions, continuing:

"Senior sister, I secretly saw this in master’s room, you were actually the daughter of the lady boss of the Immortal Brew Tower. Two hundred years ago, when you were born, master took you up the mountain, placed you in an array, and refined Immortal Flying Peak into a sword using your Innate Spiritual Qi."

"Sixteen years ago, when the World-Purifying Sword was completed, you were finally released from the array."

"At that time you were still in the form of a baby, so you’re not sixteen but over two hundred years old!"

Xiaohua said everything in one breath, unable to stop his panting.

This secret was something he learned by accident, originally intending to let it rot in his stomach, but today seeing Luo Xiaohong forced by master to the brink of shattering her Tao Heart.

His heart was filled with a contradiction, and ultimately he decided to come and tell Luo Xiaohong the truth.

Luo Xiaohong listened to her words, somewhat dazed, after a long pause she said:

"Am I really over two hundred years old? Then I should have Xia Qinglian call me elder sister, shouldn’t I?"

Xiaohua depressedly said: "Senior sister, now’s not the time to talk about that, I came to find you to tell you the way to reshape your Tao Heart!"
