Chapter 284: 31: Deciphering the Stele, Changes in the Mortal World 2

“Now that I think about it, a thousand years ago was not only the day of change mentioned on the stele, but also the day when the immortal path was cut off. Could there be a connection between the two?” Zhao Huai frowned, paused, and continued, “Is there any record on the stele of how the story ends, and do any of the seniors here know who it was that caused the immortal path to be severed?”
Old Ye stroked the stele, repeatedly confirming, “This stele is not complete, it only records a part of the content, I’m also not sure if this is the ending, but what is certain is that all the major Heaven and Earth regions joined forces and the survivors reorganized the Ascension Land.”
“Reorganized the Ascension Land…’
Zhao Huai muttered the phrase, suddenly recalling the scene he saw when he touched the Sword of Ancestor Yan Zu. That line about reshuffling the deck.
Perhaps it was related to this.
“Zhao Huai’s words do make some sense upon careful consideration. The severance of the immortal path may have something to do with this change.” The Elder Abbot of Little Lingyin Temple said.
An elder from Medicine Pill Valley snorted coldly, “It was clearly that Sword Saint from Limitless Immortal Sect back then, who severed the Road to Heaven with a single sword. How is that related to the changes in Ascension Land? It’s just that the other worlds covet this place, otherwise, why would Ancestor Yan Zu go through such great trouble to seal the entrance?”
Despite being important figures in the Immortal Sect, none of the people present could make head or tail of the content on the stele, let alone provide a definitive answer.
Because on the day the immortal path was severed, there were no immortals left in the world.
To know the truth, they would have to find an immortal from that time.
But that was undoubtedly impossible. “Did the person who engraved the stele leave a name?”
Zhao Huai thought about it and asked again.
Elder Ye gave a negative answer.
The Master of the Eternal Taoist Temple saw the look on Zhao Huai’s face and comforted him:
“In this vast world, there are countless wonders. The world we see is just a drop in the ocean. No matter what kind of difficulty it is, it’s only temporary, so don’t be discouraged. Once you can cultivate to our current realm, you’ll understand.”
Yu Qinghan, who had been silent the whole time, rested her jade hand on her chin and pondered:
“Perhaps, if we go to other worlds, we can find the answer.”
Upon hearing Madam’s words, Zhao Huai’s eyes lit up.
Indeed, the reason they couldn’t find the answer was because the Immortal World was completely closed off. If they went to the Heavenly Devil World and Hell World, perhaps they could find the answer there.
After the meeting ended and the secret of the stele was revealed, the ancestors left one by one.
The appearance of the stele did not bring much clarity, but rather raised deeper mysteries.
The master of the Exquisite Palace found Zhao Huai and gently hooked the corner of her mouth, saying:
“Do you still remember the three-year agreement you mentioned?”
Zhao Huai smiled bitterly, “Of course I remember, but now it seems that the agreement has already become invalid.”
“Your rapid rise is truly surprising. No wonder you didn’t take a liking to my disciple, as you already have her.”
The master of the Exquisite Palace looked toward Yu Qinghan, who was
waiting nearby, with her extremely deep beautiful eyes.
“How has the Exquisite Fairy been doing lately?”
Zhao Huai didn’t want to continue discussing his personal matters, so he changed the subject.
“Ever since she blocked a sword for you, she has been recuperating in the Immortal Palace, occasionally mentioning you. She’s also become a lot nicer to people in her daily life, improving her interpersonal skills. Boy, you don’t like her, but what did you do to cause her to change so much?”
The master of the Exquisite Palace asked curiously.
She knew her disciple best – unapproachable, cold by nature, preferring to be alone and focusing only on cultivation. The only person she could talk to was her good-for-nothing Senior Sister.
“I didn’t teach her anything; maybe she changed on her own.” Zhao Huai replied honestly.
“No more talking, I’m leaving. I hope that when I see you again, your cultivation will be even higher.”
Before leaving, the master of the Exquisite Palace winked at Zhao Huai.
The Eternal Taoist Temple Master came over with a white dust whisk in hand, stared at the direction where the master of the Exquisite Palace left, and said:
“That old woman still has a fondness for young grass as always.” He paused, then smiled at Zhao Huai, “You don’t know how many men fell under the good graces of Liu Tianxue when she was young.” Zhao Huai was taken aback and asked, “How would you know that, Master?”
“You don’t need to worry about that.”
The Eternal Taoist Temple Master coughed awlwardly, and then spoke seriously: “How long do you plan to stay at Spiritual Mountains? I’ve calculated that quite a few things have happened in the Mortal World as of now, and it still needs you to hold the fort.” “Has something happened in the Mortal World?”
Zhao Huai asked with surprise.
“Yes, you’ll only know what it is when you return to the Mortal World.”
“Additionally, a crisis has arisen in the Western State within the Universal
Chess Game. It seems that for the time being, the influence brought by the Illusory Southern Sea will be difficult to eliminate. “Zhao Huai nodded, then asked: “Master, is there a special method for the cultivation of perpetuation?”
He remembered that the Immortal Method was the state religion of Yan Country, and perhaps the Eternal Taoist Temple Master would know the way to cultivate perpetuation.
If he could master the real use of perpetuation now, his cultivation speed might even increase.
Who knew the Eternal Taoist Temple Master would shake his head in denial, saying: “There is no specific way for perpetuation, as it is derived from all people and originates from the human world. If you want to truly use the power of perpetuation, it’s best to unify the human world as soon as possible, so that the power of perpetuation can reach its peak state.” “Moreover, with her help, isn’t unifying the human world a piece of cake?”
Towards the end, he looked in the direction of Yu Qinghan.
The meaning was self-evident.
Zhao Huai politely smiled and said, “Thank you for clearing my confusion,
Master. I will consider it.”
In fact, only the Master’s ancestor and other seniors could think like this; he couldn’t do so.
Anyway, the matter of perpetuation was not urgent.
After bidding farewell to the Eternal Taoist Temple Master, Zhao Huai walked to Yu Qinghan and smiled:
“Madam, it’s time to go.”
Although Yu Qinghan didn’t hear the conversation among them just now, she could guess a few points from their expressions. She looked up with a slight
“Husband, when are you going back to the Mortal World?”
“After retrieving the sword, in a few days, my life-bound flying sword will be ready. ”
Zhao Huai gave an exact time.
Getting the answer, Yu Qinghan took out a jade token from her pendant and said:
“Since we’re here, let’s use this jade token.”
Had the other party not mentioned it, Zhao Huai would have almost forgotten.
The cultivation technique they learned in Hetu and Luoshu then.
Luo Water Fist Skill and sword technique could still be well remembered now.
“Do the two of you want to enter the Scripture Pavilion? Please, this way.”
Ye Taoran smiled as he saw the two take out the jade token and led them to a towering place.
There was golden light everywhere, as if it were Bai Yujing in the sky.
Each shelf held a translucent jade token.
Looking around, there were countless scrolls, like a vast ocean.
From the way they stored the Divine Skills, one could see their degree of rarity.
Generally speaking, there are three methods of inheriting Cultivation Techniques.
The first is to transcribe them on scrolls for people to read. This method of storing Cultivation Techniques is the least advanced, and the quality of the cultivation techniques is also not high.
Another way is to store them in the mind, then store them in jade through spiritual power.
This type of cultivation technique is often superior and belongs to the family heirlooms of the various great sects. It is considered a secret that’s not easily stolen.
Undoubtedly, the ones in front of them belonged to the second kind. There is also a third kind of cultivation technique, which is even more advanced.
It exists between Heaven and Earth.
What does that mean?
It means that only people with great flowing qi and excellent qualifications can comprehend by observing special atmospheres and scenes.
“The two of you might as well decide what kind of Cultivation Techniques and
Divine Skills you need first before making a decision.”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Huai was someWhat disappointed.
He initially thought that he could browse through the cultivation techniques here at will, but apparently that’s not the case.
He could only choose and look upon selection. If he could browse freely with his comprehension ability, he could probably read all the techniques here.
Elder Ye Taoran smiled and said: “Although the cultivation techniques here may not be as top-notch as those found in Cloud Sea Views and Sunset Solitude, they are also the inheritance of many ancient sects; some even include Immortal Techniques. As long as you can learn them, that will be enough.”
“I understand, Elder Ye.”
Soon enough, Zhao Huai and Yu Qinghan began searching through the endless sea of books.
In this process, Zhao Huai naturally didn’t forget about using his divination abilities.
Through divination, he would surely find suitable Divine Skills for himself.
