A Mortal’s Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu’s Rebirth as the Reincarnation Dao Ancestor - Chapter 186

Chapter 182 Ancient Divine Power (Added 2k)

“Whether you’re a fellow cultivator aiming for the second trial or content with this, you only have one full day to gather spiritual herbs. If you remain greedy after the allotted time and insist on staying, you’ll never escape.”

“As far as we know, no cultivator imprisoned inside has ever been seen again when the Void Heaven Palace opens next time.”

This wasn’t the Star Palace duo exaggerating.

For thousands of years, more than one Nascent Soul cultivator had attempted to test the depths of the Void Heaven Palace, only to perish.

“As for the reason for their disappearance…”

“No one knows yet.”

Han Li, however, knew a thing or two about this.

The Void Heaven Palace was an independent space, similar to a “Spiritual Garden,” spanning hundreds of thousands to millions of miles, created by ancient cultivators led by the Ice Soul Fairy over several decades.

After experiencing the ancient demonic tribulation, how could the Ice Soul Fairy and the others not be mindful of defenses?

Furthermore, the immense supernatural powers possessed by these late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators and even those at the Void Refinement stage who lowered their cultivation to the lower realms are simply impossible for later generations to ascertain.

How could the skills of such powerful cultivators be measured by today’s Core Formation and Nascent Soul stages?

The Void Heaven Palace’s most troublesome spatial teleportation alone could kill a large number of Nascent Soul cultivators.

The restrictions at the Void Heaven Palace’s main gate are so powerful that even the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Star Palace three thousand years ago couldn’t break through them.

Attacking from the outside in is the most difficult; even three to five Nascent Soul cultivators, or even two mid-Nascent Soul cultivators, might not succeed.

Attacking from the inside out is much easier, but it still requires three Nascent Soul cultivators working together.

Alternatively, a Nascent Soul cultivator with spatial supernatural powers might coordinate with another Nascent Soul cultivator.

In short,

this place is extremely difficult.

Later generations shouldn’t even think about it.

The Star Palace elders’ voices weren’t loud, but they reached the ears of everyone present, making them clearly audible to all the cultivators.

Regarding this…

Some were cautious, while

others were absent-minded.

“We two will teleport there first, please proceed,”

the two said, stepping onto the teleportation array one after the other, their figures disappearing in an instant.

“Let’s go!”

A Core Formation cultivator rushed onto the teleportation array first.

Seeing this, Han Li gave a glance to Man Hu Zi and Qing Yi, then, with Yuan Yao and Yan Li, followed closely behind, stepping onto the teleportation array and leaving the area.

The three had just teleported over when the two women were stunned by the scene before them.

Where was the cramped, ghostly place?

Before them, the sky was a clear, azure blue, dotted with fluffy white clouds, surrounded by boundless green grasslands, with distant mountains faintly visible and the air filled with the scent of wildflowers.

This was no longer the Void Heaven Palace; it was clearly a vast and beautiful space.

“Husband, this…”

“The great cultivators of ancient times were truly remarkable. It’s just a pity that a demonic calamity severed the lineage of this world,”

Han Li sighed softly.

This masterpiece of spatial creation is precisely the ability of the Void Refinement stage.

It’s a skill possessed by ancient cultivators who successfully ascended to the Spirit Realm but were forced to descend again due to demonic tribulations.

That protracted ancient tug-of-war itself damaged the foundation of this realm.

Coupled with the continuous depletion of the purest spiritual energy by the “Boundless Sea of Ten Thousand Feet of Demonic Abyss,” the “Boundless Demonic Qi Suppressed Directly Below Kunwu Mountain,” and “Many Other Places Sealed with Demonic Qi,” the spiritual energy of this human realm has steadily declined over tens of thousands of years.

In ancient times, the cultivation environment was several times better than it is now. Back then

, legendary figures in the mid-to-late stages of the Nascent Soul realm, while not countless, were always present in their respective eras.

Now,

let alone those who naturally ascend to the late Nascent Soul stage

, even those in the mid-

Nascent Soul stage are becoming increasingly rare. Even the early Nascent Soul stage is almost a thing of the past.

In ancient times, when mid-to-late Nascent Soul cultivators acted, why would they suffer the loss of their essence and lifespan?

But in this era, even those in the early stages of the Nascent Soul realm can easily lose essence and lifespan if they’re not careful.

This prevents the emergence of the most outstanding Nascent Soul cultivators.

The great supernatural powers that created independent small worlds like the Spirit Garden in ancient times have quietly been lost.

Later generations can only admire and envy the power of the ancients.

Actually,

it’s not that later generations are incapable.

It’s just that the waters of this world can no longer support a large ship with too much potential and talent.

A large ship will run aground in a small lake.

“Let’s go, follow me to a place where the things there will help you two condense your Nascent Souls in the future.”

Han Li said, releasing a soft, not-too-bright fluorescent light that enveloped the two women. With Gan Rushuang and Wang Ning, who had been teleported over later, watching him go, he quickly disappeared into the distance.

Vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye.

“Zi Ling, you’ll leave after picking the spiritual herbs, right?”

“Yes.”

Wang Ning, her face pale, nodded.

Beside her, Sect Master Wang, equally pale, had no intention of exploring further. She was content to have obtained some spiritual herbs helpful for mid-stage Core Formation cultivation in this area rich in spiritual herbs in the outer hall.

“Then, let’s part ways here. I want to explore the inner hall.”

“Ah? Sister Gan, why bother?”

Sect Master Wang was shocked.

Although she had witnessed the formidable strength of late-stage Core Formation cultivators far surpassing mid-stage Core Formation cultivators, she didn’t believe late-stage Core Formation cultivators had the right to act arrogantly in front of Nascent Soul stage monsters.

“When opportunity knocks, why hesitate?”

Gan Rushuang, her face veiled, shook her head.

If the existence of the Void Heaven Palace were public knowledge in the Southern Lands, this tiny place would be crammed with hundreds of Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

Only the high-level cultivators of the Chaotic Star Sea, who didn’t lack resources to improve their cultivation, were unaware of their good fortune.

“Alright, it’s decided then.”

With that, she vanished in a flash, choosing a direction to leave.

With her late-stage Core Formation cultivation, as long as she didn’t venture too deep into this space and didn’t try to obtain the spiritual herbs protected by Nascent Soul-level ancient beasts, she could easily plunder the spiritual herbs from the other treasure lands.

Having more spiritual herbs would increase her chances of reaching Nascent Soul stage later.

After Gan Rushuang left, Zi Ling and her daughter went to another location together.

Then, some more cultivators teleported here.

Everyone went to gather herbs.

Wan Tianming and his two companions transformed into a three-colored rainbow and moved together, leaving the Nascent Soul stage cultivators from the demonic path staring at each other in disbelief.

“What do you mean?”

Ji Yin asked.

“I won’t participate in your struggle with Wan Tianming and the others.”

Madam Wen glanced at the three of them and left on her own.

After watching Madam Wen leave, Barbarian Beard looked at Qing Yi:

“Qing Yi, your lifespan isn’t much left, is it? Come with me to deal with that mountain demon. After we’re done, I’ll share the Longevity Fruit with you, how about that?”

“Brother Barbarian’s invitation is too kind of me to refuse!”

The two hit it off immediately.

They still had things to discuss in private.

Therefore, they temporarily excluded that person from the game.

“Hmph, then I’ll take my disciples and grand-disciples elsewhere.”

Extremely cold snorted.

He took three disciples and that ugly grandson Wu Chou and chose another direction.

Barbarian Beard and Qing Yi exchanged a glance and smiled at each other.

“Brother Barbarian, you must tell me about that person.”

“Of course, of course, but you have to help me pick the Longevity Fruit first.”

“No problem.”

…

On Han Li’s side, he activated his escape technique to the fullest and sped away like lightning.

They didn’t have much time.

They couldn’t waste the whole day on the rare Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng.

The spiritual mountains and treasure lands along the way, and even those deeper within them, were certainly worth exploring.

After all, he knew many of the hidden secrets of this place.

The three first traversed vast grasslands, then entered a large, continuous mountain range.

Along the way, every mountain they passed was brimming with spiritual energy.

Several places particularly captivated Yuan Yao and Yan Li.

Indeed, those mountains were filled with incredibly dense spiritual energy,

clearly spiritual treasure lands.

The spiritual herbs nurtured there must be extremely rare.

“Don’t waste time in these outer areas; the best stuff is yet to come. You can come back and pick it yourselves later,”   Han Li said with a smile, “

You’re not exactly naive. ”   (End of Chapter)
