Chapter 968: Chapter 405: The Mystery of the Ancient Gods, Undercurrents in the Immortal Mansion_1
In the vast Immortal Mansion, Immortal Peaks gathered, shrouded in a drifting Cloud Sea.
Within one of these Immortal Mansions, in the main hall.
Han Yi opened his eyes, a shimmering light lingering in them.
“Ancient Gods, the relics of Ancient Gods, the Boundary Stele Crystal.”
“So it is indeed so.”
In this Jade Butterfly, there are three aspects of information.
The first aspect concerns the categorization of the Ancient God System by the immortals of the Daluo Immortal Realm.
The Ancient God System is divided into six stages.
Yes.
Just six stages.
Because the sixth-stage Ancient Gods are the true Ancient Gods. The transformation of the physical body is one aspect, but more importantly, at this stage, Ancient Gods are able to receive the inheritance from the Primordial Times – the true Ancient God heritage. Those powers that span endless ages, immensely powerful, unable to be cultivated through mere cultivation techniques, and far stronger than Immortal Skills, are what matter most.
Below the sixth stage are the practitioners from the first to fifth stages of the Ancient God System.
Above the sixth stage, no more divisions exist because, since the end of the Primordial Times, when the Ancient World crumbled into the Nine Realms, no overt sixth-stage Ancient Gods have been born within the Daluo Immortal Realm – the true Ancient Gods.
Hence, the categorizations above the sixth stage are not even known to Profound Immortals; perhaps only Immortal Monarchs, or even Immortal Venerates and Ancestors, might glimpse the secrets in the depths of history and understand those towering Ancient Gods that walked between heaven and earth.
“A sixth-stage Ancient God, that is, a Primordial Realm Ancient God,” Han Yi came to an insight.
The second aspect, which is the most important part of this Jade Butterfly, deals with how a fifth-stage pinnacle Ancient God cultivator can advance to the sixth stage.
A sixth-stage Ancient God has been proven impossible to break through by cultivation alone over the past million years.
Later, starting from an unknown time, there spread the notion among the immortals and those above that fifth-stage pinnacle Ancient God System cultivators, upon entering the relics of Ancient Gods, may have the chance to glimpse the secrets of the Ancient Gods and advance to the sixth stage.
Throughout history, countless cultivators in the Ancient God System have entered the relics of Ancient Gods, all without any exceptions, entirely failing.
Among them, most could not exit the relics, and the few who did, although they had broken through to being sixth-stage Ancient Gods in terms of their physical bodies, had their Divine Souls fall into demonic possession, their spirits muddled, ultimately perishing in madness with their souls shattered, leaving only their husks.
“Possessed by demons,” Han Yi’s heart chilled.
In the World of Gods and Demons he originally encountered, those who had broken through to the Primordial Realm had also fallen into demonic possession.
He used to think it was the world of God and Demons’ fault, because that world was actually the transformed Divine Aperture of a fallen Ancient God. The incidences of Primordial Realm demonic possession were possibly due to the Divine Aperture’s master having long perished.
But now, combining the information from the Jade Butterfly, Han Yi reached another conclusion.
That is, regardless of the location, breaking through to be a sixth-stage Ancient God, a Primordial Realm Ancient God, would lead to demonic possession.
It’s just that previously within the giant corpse of the Ancient God, upon Primordial possession, it violated the world’s laws of Divine Aperture. The sun, moon, and stars descended, annihilating the demonically possessed Primordial, and restarted the world.
As for the pinnacle fifth-stage Ancient God System cultivators in the Immortal Realm who entered the relics of Ancient Gods and managed to return, their physical bodies advanced to the sixth stage due to unknown reasons, but there was a problem with their Divine Souls, resulting in their downfall.
The third aspect is about the relics of Ancient Gods, the origin and usage of the Boundary Stele Crystals.
The so-called relics of Ancient Gods, as the name implies, are ancient sites where Ancient Gods have existed. This is not hard to comprehend.
The Age Candle Immortal Court is located in the Northern Domain of Daluo, north of the Immortal Court lies the Endless Void. The giant corpse of the Ancient God that Linghua Immortal Monarch once brought Han Yi into, was located in this Endless Void.
In the Endless Void to the north, close to the Age Candle Immortal Court, there is a relic of an Ancient God.
This relic, existing for more than a million years, remains inaccessible to common immortals, and even more so for cultivators below the level of immortals.
However, there is one method that allows lower-stage cultivators to safely enter it — the Boundary Stele Crystal.
The so-called Boundary Stele Crystal is the golden rhombus-shaped crystal given to Han Yi by Jiuyue, the Profound Immortal.
Unfortunately, its name’s origin isn’t explained in the Jade Slips.
It only mentions that while holding the Boundary Stele Crystal, when approaching the Ancient God’s relic, one would bypass the hazardous outer areas of the relic and enter directly into its interior.
Ancient God ranking, Ancient God advancement, Ancient God relics, Boundary Stele Crystal.

That is the entire content of this Jade Butterfly.
In Han Yi’s eyes, emotions swirled: first excitement, then confusion, and even, given his cautious nature, doubt quickly overshadowed the excitement of learning the method of advancing Ancient Gods.
“This Jiuyue, the Profound Immortal, has provided information and even this Boundary Stele Crystal for me, but why?”
Where there’s something abnormal, there’s a demon at play.
Since he started his cultivation journey, he did not believe in pies falling from the sky.
Jiuyue, the Profound Immortal, was neither kin nor owed him a favor and did not follow the equal exchange principle among cultivators. Reflecting on the encounter at the edge of the Cloud Sea, Jiuyue seemed hurried when giving him the Jade Butterfly and the crystal, which was obviously problematic.
A trap?
A scheme?
He took a deep breath, putting these suspicions aside deep inside his heart for now.
However, even if there were schemes, he was not worried because he had plans of his own. After becoming an immortal, he should be able to uncover some clues regarding the relics of Ancient Gods. Then it would be up to him to decide whether to visit them or not.
Concerning the two items, the Jade Butterfly given by Jiuyue was a one-time use butterfly that crumbled on the spot after the information was retrieved, which posed no problems.
The other item, the golden rhombus-shaped crystal, namely the Boundary Stele Crystal, Han Yi would not activate it to venture into the relics of Ancient Gods if he had other choices.
“However, this is an unexpected boon.”
