Chapter 294 – Shura’s Past
”Geez!
What the hell is going on here?
My Sea of Sense!”
Xu Yang was of course clear that this unimaginable opening up change did not do any harm to himself, but instead made his spiritual world incomparably strengthened!
And these contents that were beyond the scope of one’s cognition were all bestowed upon him by Xiu Luo.
”To put it simply, the current you, after the purification and transformation of this tombstone, is no longer in the realm of the ranks of the living beings, you have been able to break free from the power of the laws of this world, and complete the Dao Chopping ahead of time, and your life has become eternal, the only difference between you and the Dao Chopping Ascended is that you have not communicated with the power of the upper realm, and this has also allowed you to become an entire continent throughout the ages, a truly absolutely unique existence, and has also become the only hope for this continent to welcome the new dawn!”
The more Xu Yang listened, the more confused he became, there were too many perceptions in here that he had never been exposed to, but because of this, Xu Yang knew that he was getting closer and closer to the truth that had been confusing him all along.
”You must have a lot of questions in your mind, it doesn’t matter, I will answer them for you now!
In fact, this continent of ours is controlled by the power of the Upper Realm, and is merely one of the many parallel worlds created by the Upper Realm.
The Upper Realm created this continent, nurtured all beings, and gave us the so-called life force, in order to seek the unique soul essence of all beings!
This is the true purpose of those so-called gods in the Upper Realm!
You are a powerful cultivator, so you naturally understand that cultivating spiritual power is to strengthen the soul, while normal cultivation is to strengthen the physical body, that is to say, the life force carried by the physical body and the soul carried by the head are essentially two completely independent concepts.
But why is it that after death, only the life force withers away, but why does the soul, which exists completely independently, also disappear?
This, then, is the best proof of the conspiracy of the upper realms!
Because, they are through the creation of parallel worlds to nurture all things, using the laws to carry their own divine power as a medium to formulate rules for all beings and things in parallel worlds to abide by, and using this as a pathway to absorb the essence of the souls of all beings that are able to cultivate Divine Elements.
To put it simply, this continent that we rely on for our survival is merely a tool to provide soul nourishment for the gods of the upper world.”
Xu Yang was astonished!
This was one of the most astonishing secrets he had ever heard in his 100,000 years of living.
”So, the Cultivation Dao Technique you created to harness the power of the dead souls was also to stop those so-called gods in the upper realm from devouring the soul essence of the beings on our continent?”
”Not bad.”
Shura nodded gruffly, “To openly fight against the laws of the Heavenly Dao and smash those rules, it’s simply not realistic for me to do it alone.
And doing that would hinder the cultivation enhancement of the cultivators of our continent, which would be counterproductive.
But other than that, I can’t think of a way to rebel against these gods!”
Xu Yang pondered for a moment before speaking again, “In that case, without gods, there would naturally be no more beings on our continent.
This is not something that you alone can change, so why are you so obsessed?
Exactly what kind of reason is it that makes you hate the gods and the upper realms so much?”
Cultivator let out a soft sigh, “This matter goes back to when the sprint to ascension was first made.
According to the definition of the laws of this continent, after cultivating to the Transitional Great Perfection realm, the cultivator’s soul strength reaches its limit, and then he can attempt to ask for the heavens with the heavens.
The so-called Asking for Heaven is to use one’s own strength to break a special Law Boundary at the top of the Heavenly Dome, and that is the condition of Sprint Ascension that the Upper Realm has set for human cultivators.
Upon success, the master Heavenly Question sealed within the Law Boundary will descend, to put it bluntly, it’s a task given by the Gods of the Upper Realm to challenge the ascended person, and only after completing this task, will they have the right to cut down the Dao.”
Xu Yang was enlightened; “That is to say, only if you complete the task given to you by the God can you unlock the shackles left on you by the Heavenly Dao Laws that devour life force and soul essence?”
”Not bad.
This is the true meaning of the so-called Chopping Dao!
To cut off the bonds that have been branded on you by this world and become an existence above those beings in this world who follow the rules.
But this is not the only change.
After you succeed in chopping off the Dao, the Upper World will also grant you the laws that belong to the Upper World!
You will again continue to be bound by a higher degree of civilization ……
Although after becoming a god, you have eternal life and will no longer be devoured for your life force and soul, you have a whole new task.
What I say next is known only to me in the entire continent, and you must never tell it to anyone!
Now that your soul world has reached the level of an ascended master, no one in this world, including me, can peek into your soul at will.
So you must keep this secret, once it is leaked, the upper world will grant you an unbearable disaster!”
Xu Yang promised, and only then did Xiu Luo put his heart down and continued to speak.
”At first, the ascension mission given to me by the Upper Realm was to overthrow the Ancient Desolate Dynasty, descending the Upper Realm’s punishment for this lineage of dynasties!
However, I was not clear on what exactly the Ancient Desolate lineage had done to defy the Heavenly Dao, angering the gods of the Upper Realm.
At that time, I was eager to see through the truth of this world, and in the end, I could only be ruthless and become the executioner of the gods of the upper realm.
And at that time, my lifelong arch-enemy, Easy Taoist Monarch, also received the same ascension mission as me.
That guy entered the Tao to cultivate his body, with guarding the world as his belief, so naturally he wouldn’t understand my motives, so he confronted me in the name of guarding the Ancient Wasteland lineage.
Originally, I couldn’t defeat him because his gong method had a very powerful light attribute that was naturally able to suppress the combat power of the undead souls, completely restraining my power.
In the end, when I unleashed the Shura Upanishad and almost brought half of the Ancient Desolate Dynasty’s living beings to annihilation, and completed my ascension mission ahead of schedule, I gained the baptism of the Junction’s ascension power in the middle of the battlefield, and chopped off the ten thousand bonds in front of his face, becoming eternal.
At the same time, I also gained the blessing of the rules of the upper realm, and condensed within my body a Godhead that was uniquely my own.
A god’s lattice is a sign that an ascended person has become a god, and it is also a passport to enter the Upper Realm.
A god has the ability to directly manipulate the laws of heaven and earth in the lower realm, and this ability, which is unique to a god, is unleashed through the divine element stored within the god’s lattice, which you can also understand to be the source of the god’s unique vitality and combat power, and is the god’s most important part and symbol.
Thus, after completing the metamorphosis and possessing the God Sphere, I fought back with the power of the Laws of the Heavens and easily suppressed the Easy Taoist Monarch, but I didn’t kill him.
Because at that time, I was still looking forward to the day when he would become a god all together and then have a peak duel, and wasn’t aware that he had obtained the same ascension mission as me.”
