Chapter 521
Awakening compared the similarities and differences between time travel and this space-time turbulence.
He discovered that they seemed very similar, with the exception that
with time travel, as long as the corresponding event is completed, or after death in the simulation, one can return.
However, the conditions for returning in this space-time turbulence are unknown.
“The power of space-time…a combination of space and time?”
Awakening thoughtfully.
He could feel that in this space-time turbulence, although there was no spiritual energy and no Dao existed,
The exception is the Dao of Time and Space!
“Surprisingly, I can vaguely sense a hint of the Dao of Time…”
Su Xiu felt a sudden surge of joy.
He had a hunch that even if he didn’t go to the Ninth Heaven,
simply sensing the Dao of Time in this space-time turbulence would increase Su Xiu’s speed of comprehending the Dao of Time by several times!
“Huh…no rush to comprehend the Dao of Time!”
“First, I’ll fully understand the laws of this space-time turbulence, and then explore the Ninth Heaven!”
“As for comprehending the Way of Time, there’s still time for later simulations!”
Su Xing couldn’t help but let the corner of his mouth rise.
He must remember that he still had fifty simulation opportunities left in his hand!
If he immersed himself in comprehending the time and space turbulence during each simulation, just how far would Su Xing’s Way of Time grow?
Thinking about this, Su Xing couldn’t help but look forward to it.
“Let’s try to capture the patterns in this space-time turbulence first…”
Su Xing muttered, and then in this mysterious space, he captured the light screens around him, each of which represented a certain space-time.
With the help of the Time and Space Dao, Su Xing gradually grasped the laws of the operation of this space.
At the same time, Su Xing also followed the route provided by the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion and headed towards the so-called Ninth Heaven.
In this way, about three years passed.
During the first two and a half years, Su Xing spent all his time trying to understand the laws of time and space in this place.
Once he had fully grasped the laws, it only took him half a year to reach the Ninth Heaven.
“I see…is the Ninth Heaven also a certain point in time and space?”
Su Xing narrowed his eyes and finally figured out where this so-called Ninth Heaven was!
“I suppose so. Since the Sacred Path was severed, there has been no chance of becoming a Sage in the world…”
“And there is no longer a place with such abundant spiritual energy and a complete set of the ways of heaven and earth… Only in another time and space, during the Age of the Saints in ancient times, would there be a chance to attain enlightenment and become a saint!“
”So, the Ninth Heaven is the ancient world of the Three Thousand Realms?”
The ancient period was countless eons ago, and much of the information and history has been lost and is not widely known in the cultivation world.
However, the Tianjige (Heavenly Secret Pavilion) preserves a relatively complete ancient history.
Legend has it that at the beginning of time, there were no five realms between heaven and earth, nor were there nine heavenly realms.
There was only one huge continent, so vast that its expanse is now the sum of all the worlds in the entire Three Thousand Worlds.
It was even larger than the Great World, the most expansive of the Three Thousand Worlds.
And that continent was called… the Pangu Continent!
Or perhaps, the Flood Continent!
Until one day, a peerless powerful being was born, whose cultivation realm was so strong that it even surpassed that of a sage!
This powerful being spent hundreds of millions of years exploring every inch of Pangu Continent.
In the end, he lamented that although the world was vast, it had boundaries.
He wanted to know what lay beyond the world.
So, with supreme power, he shattered the entire world, scattering it across the void.
That is how the current 3,000 worlds came to be…
Recalling that mythical history, Su Xing woke up and shook his head:
“But it’s probably just a myth, right?“
”Using supreme power to split the entire Pangu world open and scatter the three thousand worlds across the void… That’s a bit far-fetched…“
With his knowledge, even if he were a Great Golden Immortal, let alone a Sage, he definitely couldn’t do that.
”Perhaps, it’s only possible for someone in a realm above Sage?“
”But a realm above Sage… Seems too vague…”
Su Xing shook his head, indicating that he didn’t believe it.
“However, during that period, the ten saints coexisted… It seems that the appearance of ten saints in the world was real!”
“Although the Great Luo Jixian is not inferior to a dog, it is not inferior to a thousand people…”
“That was truly a prosperous era for cultivating immortals!”
Su Xing’s eyes were filled with longing. As a cultivator, if he had no chance to witness that prosperous era for cultivating immortals, it would be a great pity.
“Then, let’s go take a look…”
Su Xing murmured, taking a step forward and entering the time and space light curtain that represented the Ninth Heaven.
…
“Is this the Ninth Heaven?”
After stepping into the fragment of time and space, Su Xing clearly felt that he had stepped into another place and time.
The air seemed to be filled with the smell of “ancient”.
The place where Su Xing landed was an extremely ancient forest.
There were towering trees all around, hundreds and thousands of feet tall, as if he had entered the realm of giants.
“Gee… I can only say that it is truly worthy of the ancient times, the aura here is really abundant!“
Su Xing sighed lightly.
Just a random place he landed, the aura around him vaguely reached the level of a ‘hole in the sky’ in later generations.
”My goodness, if it were a real treasure in the ninth heaven, how strong would the aura be?“
”And apart from the aura, the way of heaven in this time and space… seems to be a bit different?”
Su Xing raised an eyebrow, carefully sensing the world around him.
After a while, Su Xing nodded and said,
“Indeed, it seems that the Tao of the world in the future is incomplete… Therefore, the speed of comprehending the Dao will be much slower…”
“In this world, the Tao is complete, and the speed of comprehending the Dao is more than ten times faster than in the future!”
Su Xing finally understood why the Ninth Heaven was considered a treasure trove of opportunities to attain the Dao.
Not to mention anything else, just the Dao-sensing blessings and the abundance of spiritual energy are incomparable to the future.
“But is that all the opportunities in the Ninth Heaven?“
”Absolutely not!“
Su Xing shook his head, because even if the Dao was complete, it was not that easy to attain enlightenment.
Otherwise, at this stage, there would definitely not be just ten saints, but many more.
”So there must be other opportunities!“
”According to the information from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, there should be quite a few ancient cultivators in this space-time…”
“The most urgent task is to explore this world first. I don’t know the identity of the owner of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion in this space-time either…”
Su Xiu shook his head slightly. Since the owner of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion entered this space-time, he has been out of contact with the outside world for hundreds of thousands of years.
However, Su Xiu is certain that the owner of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion is still alive.
After all, the owner of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion will become a sage in more than two thousand years.
“Then, let’s explore the surrounding primeval forest first… There seems to be some unusual aura in this forest.”
Su Xiu muttered, and then released his spiritual awareness to explore this strange space-time.
With Su Xiu’s current speed of escape, exploring was naturally effortless.
It only took a day for Su Xiu to completely explore this forest.
The area of this forest was unexpectedly large, and its scope was already comparable to the great world of the later ages.
Within this forest, there is a kind of tiger demon beast, and the strongest of them is close to the level of a great immortal.
“Gee… Could it be that in ancient times, just a tiger tribe had a being comparable to a great immortal?”
“That giant tiger at the peak of Taiyi seems to be the Xiaotianhu of ancient legend… Its tiger penis is an extremely good treasure medicine.”
Suxing rubbed his chin, but he didn’t really want the tiger penis.
After all, an ancient and unique beast with such a unique appearance can be considered a precious animal, right?
“Of course, it’s mainly because the effect of the tiger penis on strengthening the blood is good, but it’s still a bit lacking for me…”
“Let’s go check out other places first. Although there are a few cave heavens in this forest, the aura seems to be inferior to my Spirit Field Cave Heaven…”
Su Xing shook his head and walked towards the outside of the forest.
Su Xing still wanted to find out a bit about the so-called Ninth Heavens, that is, the situation in this Pangu World during the ancient times.
So, over the next few years, Su Xing set out to explore this Pangu Continent.
Its vastness truly far exceeded Su Xing’s expectations.
It took a full year before Su Xing barely explored the surroundings of this huge forest.
…
One year later, by a huge lake.
Su Xing, who rarely had the mood, lit a huge bonfire and started barbecuing.
On the high-temperature Southern Ming Li Fire was a giant fish over ten zhang long.
This fish was born in this lake, its meat was delicious, and it also had a spiritual aura, and after taking it, even the flesh and blood of Awakening’s body improved slightly.
“Gee, in ancient times…this world was really full of precious medicines!”
“Just this precious fish’s spirit and flesh, I’m afraid even the Taiyi Golden Immortals of later generations will scramble for it…but it seems that ordinary Taiyi Golden Immortals are not a match for this fish either!”
Surging looked at the shiny, golden fish meat roasting over the campfire, and for a moment, he couldn’t help but get excited.
While eating the grilled fish, Surging analyzed the intelligence he had gathered over the past year.
The time and space that Surging was currently in seemed to be even earlier than the ancient times!
This period was called the ancient times!
“I didn’t expect that, as rumored, that powerful being beyond the realm of a sage actually existed…”
Surging narrowed his eyes and couldn’t help but marvel in his heart.
In this time and space, Pangu Continent is full of treasures.
Although there are a number of great immortals, there are countless cultivators below the great immortal realm.
“Unfortunately, most of these powerful people are not from my human race…”
Su Xing sighed.
In this era, the hundred races are fierce.
The Wuzu tribe has already begun to take shape, and the rumoured twelve Ancestor Wuzu have already given birth to six.
Each possesses the strength of a half-saint!
The Demon Race and the Dragon and Phoenix Races are all terrifyingly powerful, with each of the top races having more than five peak-level Daluo-class strong individuals.
Only the Human Race is very weak…
“Tsk tsk… In this era, although the Human Race has Taiyi Golden Immortals, there are not many of them.
”There are only a handful of Daluo Golden Immortals… Among the hundred races, they can only be considered mediocre.
“But there is nothing we can do. In this era of rampant growth of cultivators, the talent of the Human Race is still too poor…”
“Not to mention that just those innate spirits have extremely amazing aptitude, and there are even spirits born as great Luo Jinxian, which is terrifying!”
Su Xing shook his head.
Over the past year or so, Su Xing has encountered several beings who call themselves ‘innate spirits.’
Legend has it that they were born along with this world of Pangu.
They may be the first ray of breeze to turn into Tao, or the first ray of divine fire to incarnate.
Each of them has supreme talent, and cultivation is as simple as eating and drinking.
Over the past year or so, Su Xing has also encountered several innate spirits.
Because of Su Xing’s special constitution and the reason that he possesses the eternal thunder body, he has been mistaken for the incarnation of the “innate first thunder and lightning”.
“More than a year… I have almost understood the greatest opportunity in this world!”
“That is, the Dao Conference!”
Intense interest appeared in Su Xing’s eyes.
The so-called “knowing the Dao in the morning, death can be accepted in the evening!”
The strongest person in this era calls themselves “Tao”!
That is the person who has travelled the entire Pangu World, and finally shattered the void, allowing the Pangu World to transform into the Three Thousand Worlds!
Most of the cultivators of this era have no inheritance, but rather belong to an era of savage growth.
What matters is purely talent.
Or rather, one’s cultivation!
This person’s cultivation is truly outstanding!
He is the embodiment of the first ray of Dao between heaven and earth!
It is rumoured that he was born a sage!
During this period of time, that mighty man has already traveled the entire world and is about to break through to the void.
But before he breaks through to the void, this mighty man held a grand “Hearing the Way Conference” to impart the Way he has learned to all living things.
No matter what race they are, as long as they go to the Hearing the Way Conference, they can all be taught.
And this Hearing the Way Conference only happens once every 10,000 years and lasts for a thousand years.
“According to intelligence, the Dao Conference will only be held ten times… Now that it has been held nine times, the world has also produced nine saints…“
”It seems that the only chance to become a saint is at that last Dao Conference!“
”To obtain that glimmer of enlightenment, one must go to the Central Continent before the Dao Conference begins…”
Su Xing quickly thought in his mind.
The so-called Central State is actually the most central area of the entire Pangu World.
Its once-in-ten-thousand-years Daoism Conference is held in the Central State.
“It’s only a hundred years until the next conference begins… I should be able to arrive at the conference venue in time, right?”
Thinking about this, Su Xing quickly finished eating the ten-foot-long spirit fish in front of him.
After feeling his qi and blood grow slightly, Su Xing hurried towards the Central State.
…
In the blink of an eye, nearly a hundred years had passed.
Over the past hundred years, Su Xing has been constantly on the move, occasionally stopping for a while to memorize the location of any natural treasures or spiritually rich places he encounters.
Even with Su Xing’s spatial mastery, it took him a full century to reach this place known as Zhongzhou.
Looking at the distant mountain shrouded in immortal mist, it is tens of thousands of zhang high and indescribably majestic.
This mountain is known as Zhou Mountain!
At the top of the Mountain of Zhou is a Daoist training ground with a circumference of ten thousand li.
“That must be the venue for the Dao Conference, right?”
Surging could not contain his excitement. It had taken nearly a hundred years to finally arrive at the venue for the Dao Conference.
“There is still half a year until the immersive simulation ends… Let’s take a look at this so-called Dao Conference first?”
With a single thought, Surging quickly used the Way of Space and headed towards the Mountain of Zhou.
However, before he reached the Zhou Mountain, he was stopped.
“Friend, are you here for the Conference of the Way?”
“You look unfamiliar. I wonder which faction you’re from and why you’re here?”
A Daoist with a height of about three meters, two horns on his head, and scales all over his body stopped in front of Su Xing.
Upon seeing this Daoist, Su Xing’s eyebrows shot up, without the slightest bit of contempt.
And it is a real dragon of the Great Luo Golden Immortal level!
“The future generation of real dragons was almost wiped out… But in this era, it seems that the real dragons are in their heyday…”
Su Xing thought to himself, and was not angered by being blocked from entering the mountain path.
Instead, he revealed the cultivation of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm and said,
“I am a wandering cultivator who has been in seclusion for more than 100,000 years. I heard about the Dao Conference and came to participate, hoping to gain some insight…”
After sensing the awakening of the Great Luo Golden Immortal, the Great Luo of the true dragon clan also put aside his contempt.
“I see, since you are a Great Luo Golden Immortal, you should have a place in the Zhou Mountain Enlightenment Venue… But you have been in seclusion for more than 100,000 years and missed the previous conference, which is a great loss!”
“Tsk, you might have missed the opportunity to become a saint!”
This great immortal from the true dragon clan said so, and there was even a sense of schadenfreude in his tone.
However, Su Xun frowned slightly, sensing the hostility in the great immortal’s tone.
But soon he understood, as it seemed that he also had the talent of the dragon slayer, and naturally felt a negative affinity towards the dragon clan, especially the true dragon clan.
Just as Su Xun was pondering, a voice came from beside him.
“Hey, isn’t this friend Su?”
“Looks like you’ve come to attend the Dao Conference as well!“
Su Xing looked in the direction the voice came from and discovered that it was the two cultivators he had met a hundred years ago.
The incarnation of the first true fire and the first breeze!
”True Fire and Breeze Friends… It’s been a long time, how have you been?”
Su Xing also politely greeted them, after all, these two were also top-notch Great Luo Golden Immortals.
“Friend Su is the incarnation of the first primal divine thunder, and it is only right that you join our Primordial Sect…“
”Shall I show you the other friends on the Dao field?“
With that, the True Fire Great Sage took Su Xing’s hand and walked towards the top of the Mountain of No Zhou.
The previous Dragon Great Sage also sensibly took a step back and did not block the way.
”What a pity… So it is the incarnation of the first primal divine thunder?“
”It seems that the strength of the Primordial Sect will increase considerably…”
The true dragon Da Luo frowned slightly, but soon his eyes regained their confidence.
“Just a Da Luo Jixian! Now that the two dragons and phoenixes and the demon race have joined forces to create the Demon Court, it is a force of heaven and earth…a Da Luo Jixian should seek our protection!”
The true dragon Da Luo thought to himself.
On the other hand, without being stopped any further, Sui woke up and also boarded the venue of this Dao Conference.
