NOVEL NEXT Chapter 343 Outer God
"Was the Shenxiao Immortal Sect destroyed because of the ancient cultivation?"
Li Qian was intrigued by what the black-robed middle-aged man, Yu Heng, had said.
"Of course not... All the major Immortal Sects have been researching the path of ancient cultivation in secret. However, the Immortal Dao path has become mainstream now, and coupled with the inherent difficulty of ancient cultivation, it has left no space for its existence."
The black-robed middle-aged man, Yu Heng, shook his head.
"Then what did you mean by what you just said, fellow Daoist?"
Li Qian felt there was some contradiction in his words.
"Since you have succeeded in achieving Unity, you are qualified to know. It doesn't hurt to tell you."
The black-robed middle-aged man, Yu Heng, spoke calmly: "There has always been a mysterious organization in this world linked to the downfall of the Immortal Realm. This organization's goal is to prevent the resurgence of the Immortal Realm, and thus the current path of the Immortal Dao has gradually formed under its influence."
"A mysterious organization?"
Li Qian was surprised.
But he found it strange; if such an organization were real, wouldn't it employ various means to hinder the path of ancient cultivation?
Then why do major Immortal Sects have rules that give Foundation Establishment Cultivators priority in obtaining immortal residency?
"This mysterious organization is called Chaos. Basically, anyone who steps into the Unity Realm is watched by this organization... One day, Chaos will come for you, fellow Daoist."
The black-robed middle-aged man, Yu Heng, said.
"If Chaos is so powerful, why do you, fellow Daoist, and the Shenxiao Secret Society still exist?"
Li Qian asked curiously.
"Chaos is not omniscient or omnipotent. Our Shenxiao Secret Society naturally has its survival strategies. Since the inception of the Shenxiao Immortal Sect, we have been battling this organization for countless years...."
The black-robed middle-aged man, Yu Heng, said.
"I have a question, what is the relationship between the Immortal Court and Chaos?"
Li Qian asked.
The Immortal Court, as the most powerful force of the Thirty-Three Heavens, is formed by the union of the major Immortal Sects, dedicated to maintaining the stability of the Thirty-Three Heavens and resisting the invasion of outer forces.
"There is some relationship, yet not too significant. Chaos does not interfere with the operations of the Thirty-Three Heavens... However, it does drive the suppression of our Shenxiao Secret Society, but as far as I know, some Immortal Golden Immortals from the major Immortal Sects have secretly sided with this Chaos organization. Especially those super Immortal Golden Immortals who manage to survive cycle after cycle; they certainly have connections with Chaos."
The black-robed middle-aged man, Yu Heng, said.
"Super Immortal Golden Immortals? What's the difference between them and regular Immortal Golden Immortals?"
Li Qian asked.
The black-robed middle-aged man, Yu Heng, gave Li Qian a deep look, yet he still explained, "Whether it's ancient cultivation or the current cultivation path, the core is always the Law. The Law World Tree of regular Immortal Golden Immortals is usually at level one. If it reaches level two, they're considered top-tier among Immortal Golden Immortals. To become a super Immortal Golden Immortal, the Law World Tree is generally above level three, already able to touch the Time Domain."
Law World Tree at level three....
Li Qian didn't expect it to involve the Time Domain.
"However, there's a fundamental difference between ancient cultivation and the current Immortal Dao path...."
The black-robed middle-aged man, Yu Heng, shifted his tone and said, "That is the ownership of the Law."
"Ownership of the Law?"
Li Qian was momentarily stunned, not understanding.
"In ancient cultivation, the Law belongs to the cultivator, but in the current Immortal Dao path, the Law is merely borrowed...."
The black-robed middle-aged man, Yu Heng, said in a deep voice, "All current cultivation methods involve visualizing Chaos Outer Gods on the level of the Divine Soul. Even after Unity, the actual control of the Law World Tree still belongs to those Chaos Outer Gods."
"Wait, Yu Heng, my fellow Daoist, what are these Chaos Outer Gods?"
Li Qian realized there was crucial information and immediately asked.
"You should know the current Immortal Dao methods involve cultivating the Divine Apertures, which actually relates to Chaos Outer Gods. It's a trap laid by the Chaos organization during the promotion of the current cultivation methods. Once you start practicing, you can't change paths because the power of Chaos Outer Gods has already seeped in. You can only continue down this path to the end.... Thus, the ancient cultivation method typically must start from the beginning. Switching paths is almost hopeless and will likely lead to failure in Foundation Establishment...."
The black-robed middle-aged man, Yu Heng, explained.
But Li Qian was stirred inside. Including himself, so many in the Unrivaled Dao Palace successfully transitioned to the orthodox Immortal Dao, achieving Foundation Establishment without encountering the problems Yu Heng described.
It seems that the influence of the Chaos Outer Gods has been eliminated.
After all, everyone's cultivation takes place within the Chenzhong Cave Heaven, under the protection of the Immortal Device Chen Bell.
Suddenly, Li Qian summoned the system interface to check the information above.
Six-eyed Chaotic Luo Heavenly Divine Descent Technique (Great Descent 99/100).
This has always been stuck at Great Descent 99.
Now it seems to be due to the influence of the Immortal Device Chen Bell, preventing this Divine Descent Technique from progressing further.
Maybe when this Divine Descent Technique is completely perfected, reaching a higher level, it will form a deeper connection with the true Chaos Outer Gods.
"Fellow Daoist, could you tell me about the origins of these Chaos Outer Gods?"
Li Qian continued to ask.
"The exact origins of the Chaos Outer Gods are unknown, but the destruction of the Immortal Realm is certainly related to these Chaos Outer Gods. Chaos, this organization, might be their agent, who knows."
The black-robed middle-aged man, Yu Heng, shook his head and said.
After talking for a long time, Li Qian gained a lot of confidential and important information.
