Chapter 397: The Cruel Immortal Ascension Path

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

“What happened? Sect Master, tell us quickly. Don’t scare us anymore.”

For a moment, everyone panicked. What was more terrifying than this strange origin?

Meng Tianzheng slowly explained, “According to the news from the other Holy Lands, an ultimate expert accidentally discovered at the gap in the Heavenly Dao that the spiritual energy of our Great Desolate World is flowing away at an extremely fast speed.

“Because of the gap above the East Sea, it caused the loss of order and forced the spiritual energy to dissipate. The providence of the Heavenly Dao has gone far away, and the path to immortality has been blocked.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire place fell silent. After a short silence, there was a commotion.

“Impossible! How can the path to immortality be blocked? Doesn’t that mean that we won’t be able to become immortals in our lives?”

For a moment, all the young disciples panicked. They had fought their entire lives, fought on the path to immortality, and fought with their blood. Wasn’t it all for the sake of becoming an immortal and obtaining the Dao to achieve longevity?

Now, Meng Tianzheng told them that their path to immortality had been blocked. They no longer had a chance to become immortals. It was nothing more than killing their dreams.

Hearing this, Ye Qiu’s face trembled and he felt uneasy. He did not expect things to develop to this extent.

“The Heavenly Dao is missing, the path to immortality is blocked! There’s no hope in the world anymore?”

Ye Qiu’s expression was incomparably solemn. He couldn’t figure out what kind of black hand was silently pushing all of this in the darkness. Blocking the path to immortality was nothing more than severing the hope of the world.

If this continued, a hundred years, a thousand years, or even ten thousand years later, the geniuses of a generation died and were buried in the wilderness, disappearing in the long river of history.

At this point, the golden age of a generation ended. The Great Desolate World once again returned to the primitive era, and the path of cultivation was repeated.

This was the cycle of an era.

Someone wanted to restart the cycle?

As soon as this thought appeared, Ye Qiu was shocked and felt a chill run down his spine.

Lian Feng’s worry seemed to be this. She seemed to have guessed it from the start.

Looking at their reaction, Meng Tianzheng sighed and said, “It’s not that the path to immortality will be completely blocked, but the opportunity to become an immortal will become even crueler.

“Some people want to make this immortal path competition even more difficult and cruel. The opportunity for everyone to become an immortal has been compressed to… perhaps only one person in a million or even one in ten million can kill his way out.

“This is the cruelest rule now.

“And the number of spots to become an immortal is limited. If someone kills their way out of the encirclement, they must be the chosen one chosen by the heavens, occupying most of the providence of the world.

“Once he occupies this spot, unless he dies in the future, he will always occupy this spot. It will be difficult for others to have a chance to become an immortal.”

Hearing such cruel words, the atmosphere gradually became anxious. A smart person could already see the key to the problem.

That’s right, this was a strangulation!

It was a very cruel strangulation. A small number of spots were released to let the various races of the world kill each other to achieve the goal of settling the score for a spot.

Because of this opportunity to become an immortal, the various races that were originally living peacefully might draw their swords and completely start a war between the myriad races.

Hearing this, Ye Qiu secretly sucked in a breath of cold air. He suddenly thought of the Lord of the Forbidden Area.

He thought of the shocking secret he mentioned.

Longevity Calamity!

“I understand! This is a dead end. Perhaps the chaos of longevity back then was caused by this trap.”

At this moment, Ye Qiu thought of many things. He might not have to worry about becoming an immortal. This was because he had already become an immortal and did not have the problem of occupying a spot.

But what about his disciple? Where about the other disciples of the Heaven Mending Sect?

He had no choice but to think about this question and how to crack this trap.

Looking up at the hole in the sky, Ye Qiu vaguely felt that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was slowly dissipating. It flowed along the hole and towards the illusory sky.

If he wanted to stop all of this, he had to block this gap. Not only that, by blocking the gap, it could only stop the spiritual energy from dissipating and the heavenly water from pouring in.

However, it was far from being able to repair the changes in the laws of order. Therefore, other than repairing this gap, he still had to repair that tattered order.

Suddenly, Ye Qiu thought of something and suddenly woke up. If he remembered correctly, he happened to have a hundred strands of providence on him. He had gotten it from Little Linglong on the previous trip to Mount Yun Ding.

Thinking of this, the corners of Ye Qiu’s mouth curled up into a smile. He seemed to know what to do.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the Jade Pure Hall was very solemn. The younger generation disciples who were originally getting along harmoniously were silent.

They might not be able to accept this reality, let alone accept that the best companion who had grown up with them and fought alongside them would become their opponent on the path to immortality in the future.

Could they really bear to do it when they drew their swords? However, the laws of the Heavenly Dao were like this. The world was so cruel that they could not be merciful. This could no longer be considered a scheme. It was an open scheme that completely told you that if you wanted to become an immortal, you had to kill all your opponents.

The current situation in the Great Desolate World was very tense. The various large factions were in turmoil. They were in a panic because of this news.

Comparatively speaking, the Heaven Mending Sect was already very calm.

“Junior Brother Ye, what do you think about this matter?”

Meng Tianzheng had no choice. He, who had always been experienced, did not know what to do now.

Ye Qiu was silent for a moment before suddenly laughing. “Haha, Senior Brother, you really know how to find problems for me.”

This question stunned Ye Qiu.

Meng Tianzheng was also a little embarrassed, but that was the situation. He had no intention of plotting against anyone and only told everyone this news truthfully.

After a while, Ye Qiu said, “I’ll think of a way! I’ll tell you when there’s a result. Alright, there’s no need to discuss this anymore. Do whatever you have to do and let nature take its course.

“Other than this matter, you still have to deal with the source of the strangeness on your own. What to do and how to do it. Set your minds straight and touch your hearts to ask yourself what your original intention is.

“If the future really reaches a situation where it’s impossible to clean up, no one will stop you from doing whatever you want. But now, it’s not time yet. Everything will remain the same.”

After saying that, Ye Qiu turned around and left the Jade Pure Hall. He had already said what he needed to say.

In fact, today’s news had already stirred up a storm in the Heaven Mending Sect. Everyone was in a panic. The pressure multiplied, and their futures were in a mess. Under such a cruel elimination competition, they had no choice but to work hard and train hard. Even those who were originally lazy began to cultivate crazily.

As the saying went, it was an involution.

Yes, no one knew what would happen in the future. They only thought that they could not be eliminated and could only crazily compete with each other.

If you didn’t compete with someone, they would still compete with you, so you could only fight with your life.

This change surprised Ye Qiu. Perhaps… This wasn’t a bad thing.

Unknowingly, it could stimulate these young people’s hardworking hearts.
