Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?
Chapter 605 - 548: Adding to Their Frustration
Regardless of whether it’s the Yama Hall or the Celestial Dao Sect, no matter how strong their cultivators are, their frail physical bodies have always been a glaring weakness.
Otherwise, the Yama Hall wouldn’t have created something like the Corpse King. Chasing Soul once mentioned that the Yama Hall has always tried to strengthen the physical bodies of cultivators.
However, unfortunately, after reaching the Divine Gaze Realm, there’s no longer a way to continue improving.
In other words, the Yama Hall can only create Corpse Kings that can withstand the Divine Gaze Realm, but they have no method beyond that.
"So don’t even think about the path of the physical body, unless..."
Chasing Soul looked helplessly at Quan Xiaotong. Unless you learn from him and replace your flesh with a spiritual treasure body, but that creates its own problems.
Which is that to achieve this, you have to learn his Heaven and Earth Four Division Skill to make it happen.
And his Heaven and Earth Four Division Skill... he honestly despises it himself.
After he finished speaking, the group looked at each other in dismay. Besides Quan Xiaotong, all the Realm of Transcendence cultivators from the Nine Sects were here, and their location was unexpectedly the Mo Family’s canyon.
This place had been abandoned by the Mo Family after a Tribulation Thunder, and then it was conveniently taken over by the Inspectorate.
As to why they’re here, Chasing Soul was equally curious.
"How did you find me?"
Yes, ever since that day, he had hidden in the Central Continent, but in less than two days, he was found. The one who found him was Ling Wuce, and then he was brought here.
"If the entire cultivator realm of the Central Continent unites, and with some methods, it’s actually not difficult to find you."
Quan Xiaotong spoke with a smile.
Chasing Soul instantly understood, which is also why the Yama Hall doesn’t want to see such a situation.
A united Central Continent is ultimately easier to slip out of control, like now.
"So, you can’t just rely on brute force to withstand the Tribulation Thunder?"
The speaker was the Great Elder of the Piaomiao Sect, who had the most authority on the matter, as he almost got struck to death by the Tribulation Thunder back then.
"No?"
Chasing Soul was slightly confused and asked, "Who told you that transcending to the Divine Platform requires withstanding the Tribulation Thunder with brute force?"
It’s just a test-type Tribulation Thunder; it’s merely a test for the cultivators in the Realm of Transcendence. Why go through it in such a suicidal way?
If you confront it head-on, wouldn’t it just keep increasing the strength of the Tribulation Thunder? Who in their right mind plays like that?
"Wasn’t it Han Yu back then...?"
Elder Luo couldn’t help but speak. Back then, didn’t Han Yu’s physical body breakthrough cause the Tribulation Thunder to upgrade continuously?
Chasing Soul rarely showed an expression of twitching at the corners of his mouth, even through his spiritual treasure body. Well, if it’s that inhuman guy, it makes sense.
But really... it’s not necessary.
Trying to enhance the physical body to get through the Divine Platform Realm is such a roundabout way!
"It’s not hard to stabilize the Divine Platform; as long as you can stabilize it, you don’t need to confront the Tribulation Thunder head-on to withstand it."
Chasing Soul said this straightforwardly.
"But why should I help you?"
From the beginning to the end, his collaboration was with Han Yu, not these natives.
He held the people of the Central Continent in low regard. They were too weak, so weak that if he wanted to do something, they couldn’t stop him.
"What if the Central Continent becomes increasingly strong? Would you be willing to collaborate with me then?"
Quan Xiaotong drew a big promising prospect, but Chasing Soul had no intention of accepting it.
The Central Continent was so weak, how could it possibly become strong? Moreover, the Yama Hall might not give them the time to develop.
Especially now that the existence of the Yama Hall has been exposed to the light. According to the memories from his fragmented soul, once the Yama Hall has free rein, they might very well bloodbath the cultivator realm of the Central Continent once again.
This is also why the cultivator community of the Central Continent must unite. The Nine Sects, if they don’t want to experience another event like that, must not sit idly by.
And Quan Xiaotong and his group have invested so much effort into developing the scale of the Fifth Tower thus far. If the Yama Hall takes action, the Fifth Tower could be obliterated in an instant, not to mention the potential for the dynasty to change hands again, plunging the world into chaos once more.
So this is not just about the cultivators of the Central Continent; it also concerns the entire world.
Quan Xiaotong knew the arrogance of these Sea Domain cultivators and understood that much of their willingness to talk here was because of Han Yu.
"But if we had a way for Realm of Transcendence cultivators to pass the Tribulation Thunder test, as long as you’re willing to help, the Central Continent could have Divine Platform Realm cultivators. Would you then be willing to collaborate?"
Chasing Soul was a bit skeptical on hearing this, since methods for breakthroughs were essentially secrets not passed down by the Yama Hall and the Celestial Dao Sect.
The peak of cultivation in the Central Continent was merely the Realm of Transcendence. They had no way of understanding the Divine Platform Realm or anything beyond it, so how could they have such a method?
Bear in mind, the Yama Hall needs a certain precious pill to advance.
"The Divine Platform Realm is the true first step in communicating with heaven and earth. You couldn’t possibly achieve that."
"What if we could achieve it at any time?"
Chasing Soul followed the sound and saw it came from a young man of the Divine Gaze Realm, making him furrow his brows.
Just an ant among ants!
He couldn’t help but look down on the Central Continent again. If even such a cultivator could be brought to the table, indeed the Central Continent was lacking talent.
When his cousin Mo Xiuwen stepped out, he naturally sensed the other’s disdain, but shook his head helplessly. The world is changing fast, and he couldn’t help it.
It’s all Han Yu’s fault. If it weren’t for him, the Central Continent wouldn’t have discovered that the Divine Gaze Realm is so inconsequential.
"If you don’t believe it, why not shift to another place for a look?"
When the group moved to the inside of the canyon, as a massive mechanism appeared before their eyes, when Mo Xiuwen explained immensely, and the Great Elder of the Piaomiao Sect acknowledged experiencing a Tribulation Thunder test before...
Chasing Soul’s gaze on that crude mechanism changed, as did his gaze on Mo Xiuwen, which became somewhat peculiar.
"Did you make this?"
There was no need to hide anything, and Mo Xiuwen admitted it openly.
Chasing Soul was instantly left speechless because for the first time, the Central Continent gave him a sense of shock.
Even though the mechanism before him was crude, costly, and immature, its displayed capabilities unequivocally showed that the Central Continent had the power to break through to the Divine Platform Realm.
"In some sense, you are indeed a genius."
This has nothing to do with cultivation strength; Mo Xiuwen’s intelligence alone was enough to make him respect him more.
"The Central Continent has never lacked geniuses, only time."
To this, Mo Xiuwen responded earnestly.
Now, Chasing Soul inexplicably believed this statement. Maybe, if given time, the Central Continent might just break out of its cage.
What it truly lacks is foundation, which coincidentally requires time to remedy.
"I agree."
Chasing Soul suddenly began to laugh, his features twisting. For him, the method to stabilize the Divine Platform wasn’t important; creating chaos for the Yama Hall was.
Being able to gain another force that would annoy them might just keep them too busy to bother with him!
"What about Han Yu?"
In his idle thoughts, Chasing Soul couldn’t help but bring him up again.
"He went to the Endless Sea Domain."
Quan Xiaotong’s expression was peculiar. He hadn’t expected that restless guy to dare venture there, fully aware of how dangerous the sea domain was.
How is this any different from courting death?
...
"You’re courting death!"
Lei Wang kept repeating these few words, to the point where Han Yu felt like his ears were growing calluses.
After digging his ears, Han Yu shifted his seat. Inside the barrier beneath him, as soon as he looked up, he saw a big butt.
Han Yu feared the Tribulation Thunder might miss, so he sat there shamelessly.
As soon as the Tribulation Thunder came, he would run away.
As for the people below, they all had to shield him from the thunder.
The five were grinding their teeth in anger but couldn’t do anything to him.
"Do you know, that the moment I make a move, my power absolutely won’t be less than the Tribulation Thunder, and killing you would be just as easy."
Lei Wang spoke with hatred.
His physical body might be weak, but he wasn’t.
The Tribulation Thunder only affects them because of its endless energy supply, forcing them into defense. Moreover, their physical bodies indeed can’t withstand it.
But if they really make a move, its power might not be less than the Tribulation Thunder.
Listening to this, Han Yu didn’t care and wiggled his butt, a silent but resounding taunt!
"I believe you, so why don’t you make a move?"
Han Yu indeed believed it; without Lei Wang’s intervention, even in their peak form, the combined efforts of three Xinzui could crush his chest cavity, causing him extreme pain.
The problem is, do they dare make a move?
No, once the defense breaks, the Tribulation Thunder won’t wait for them to re-assemble their array, and it will surely attack them thoroughly.
He wasn’t sure if the five big shots would die, but Xinzui and those eight unlucky souls would surely be done for.
"I really admire this kid."
Su Xiaoxiao turned back and spoke to her group.
To toy with Lei Wang and his crew like this, yet leave them helpless, was unprecedented.
"No matter what, I must protect him."
Su Xiaoxiao said with a smile. Not for any specific reason—just to annoy the opponent was worth doing this.
