Chapter 305: Chapter 237: Walk in Song, Ascend to the Sky, the 2nd True Body (1st update)_1
Jiang Hui’s gaze was deep, like two dazzling stars, he slowly raised his head, looked at the deep radiant entity in front of him, and once again perused the related introduction.
“Ascend Heaven Ladder, walk in song, fleeting eons in a blink, how should mortals care? How should ants matter?
All mortal forms, regardless of any living creatures can step into the Upper Realm from here, witnessing the magnificent waves of religious parades, seeing the unbeaten elegance of unmatched young talents, listening to the everlasting secrets echoing with the world…
With this thing, my followers of Liu Village can go to the Upper Realm whenever we want, return whenever we wish, as unrestricted as heaven and earth…”
After his astonishment, Jiang Hui couldn’t help expressing his joy.
As is well known, it is extremely difficult for the Upper Realm and Lower Realm to connect. Even he is powerless, unable to bridge the gap easily, even if he can go through it, he must bear a hefty price.
The Lower Realm is poor and barren, a prison for sinners created by Supreme Powers, and it is also the Human Body Big Medicine for Immortal Dao of the last era. They control life and death, treating the Lower Realm as their own backyard for venting anger.
The Upper Realm, fertile and boundless, is home to various opportunities and it is far superior to the Lower Realm in any aspect. Especially the precious Power of Laws, which is by no means comparable.
In the Eight Domains, if a Noble wanted to ignite the Divine Flame, ascend to the Divine Position, and shed their mortal body, the quickest way is to go to the Upper Realm.
It’s not that you can’t ignite the Divine Flame in the Lower Realm, but compared to the Upper Realm, the difficulty is too great, almost impossible. Especially, it would leave unhealable rule scars in your body, ultimately making it not worth it.
Because the rules in the Lower Realm are too fragmented, and igniting the Divine Flame is already the first step into the Human Path Domain, which is completely different from the previous hard practice. It requires a sense of the Power of Laws.
He remembered well that when those Upper Realm giants had captured Medical Noble in the Lower Realm, a being successfully ignited a trace of Divine Flame, half stepping into the Position of God.
However, his condition was special, as he was riddled with wounds all over his body. Even if he forcibly ignited the Divine flame, his strength was only a bit stronger than an average Noble. But the price he paid was that it would be difficult for him to improve further in the future, and he would probably only be a False god at most until his death.
This was akin to killing the goose that lays the golden eggs or fighting fire with fire, and it was definitely not advisable.
Throughout thousands of years, if the beings in the Lower Realm wanted to go to the Upper Realm, except for that ancient road, there were a few Teleportation Arrays that were left over from many years ago.
But regardless of the former or the latter, it wouldn’t be easy.
The former was extremely dangerous. Although it was an ancient road, it was also a battlefield that had existed for a long time.
Countless beings shed their blood there, from ancient times to this day; the white bones paved that secluded ancient road, filled with barren bones and concealed dangers, where any carelessness would lead to death.
The latter were rare, all controlled by the inherited forces left in the Lower Realm of those immortal Dao, even if you found it, you wouldn’t be qualified to step in.
But with the Ascend Heaven Ladder, Jiang Hui and the followers of Liu Village can travel freely between the two realms without any restrictions or any concerns.
Although this thing can’t directly enhance combat power, its auxiliary function is highly formidable, and its value is immeasurable.
Regaining his thoughts, Jiang Hui chose to use the Ascend Heaven Ladder for the first time.
Ascend Heaven Ladder also has an invisibility property, so he wasn’t afraid of being discovered.
“Hum…”
The moment Jiang Hui’s voice fell.
In the infinite cosmos,
Ripples like those of water gently surged out, forming some kind of regular arc, spreading outwards from the dome of the sky in layer after layer. The air currents surged with a roar, like countless roaring rivers flowing incessantly…
Next.
The air produced a crackling sound as if caused by the collision of hammer, axe, and chisel.
Before Jiang Hui could react,
A winding stone staircase like a long dragon slowly appeared.
A step next to a step, appearing from an unknown mysterious place, then extending up to the distant towering sky, winding and convoluting indefinitely…
The stone steps were very old, with mottled traces left by time visible on them. The entire body was exuding a faint light, carrying a sense of mystery and savagery.
Stepping into it, heavy sacred sounds came from the beyond the Nine Heavens, like the teachings of a Saint, which made people involuntarily shook, feeling like a Heavenly Road was appearing before them, their hearts becoming calm, wanting to listen quietly…
Jiang Hui, as the owner of the Ascend Heaven Ladder, felt it most clearly. After taking only a few steps, his understanding towards the Tao seemed to deepen unconsciously, and he also developed some feelings he had never had before.
“Good stuff, really good stuff, indeed a rare item!”
Jiang Hui’s eyes gleamed, his gaze clear as water, carefully feeling the sound of Taoism hanging down like a curtain.
In a hazy way, he seemed to really hear a sentence.
Jiang Hui’s eyes brightened.
He remembered that this Ascend Heaven Ladder could not only freely travel to the Upper and Lower Realms, but also had a chance to listen to the teachings of a Saint and obtain certain opportunities.
The first time was a guarantee.
Jiang Hui immediately concentrated all his attention.
Indeed, it had some effect, the sentence gradually cleared up…
The Great Tao sings silently, the Great form is formless. The Tao stretches boundlessly and remains nameless, only Tao is skilled to begin and skilled to conclude.
“Boom!!!”
When all the sound disappeared, Jiang Hui felt as if the crown of his head was soaring skyward in an instant, and the view before his eyes began to blur.
Next moment.
A gigantic figure appeared.
How towering and enormous that figure was, sitting high above the ninth heaven, untouched by dust, unaffected by cause and effect, staying out of the cycle of reincarnation.
With one finger pointing down, the epoch reincarnates, going around to begin anew, eyes opening wide, everything turns into white fog, eventually becoming a white expanse…
Jiang Hui watched with a shaken soul.
But this vision did not last long, dissolving in the blink of an eye…
Jiang Hui frowned, trying hard to remember some of the visions, but the impression of them in his mind grew increasingly vague, till at last, only a silhouette remained…
However, even that silhouette became blurrier and blurrier in his eyes, until in the end all the sights disappeared completely, and before Jiang Hui’s eyes surprisingly appeared a mass of small black print, arrayed neatly together.
These small characters seemed to belong to some particularly ancient writing, completely different from Bone Script and even the Chinese characters he had used in his previous life.
But what was strange was, Jiang Hui could understand every one of them.
After a while, he had finished reading them all; he couldn’t help looking a little astonished, and even more delighted.
This was a Taoist supernatural powers, and it was related to his external avatar, allowing the avatar to cultivate independently, unbounded by his physical body and opening up a second route to the Heavenly Road.
Jiang Hui’s true body was unique, incapable of cultivation – it could only advance by leveling up, which brought a great deal of uncertainty.
But his external avatar was different. It contained his true blood and the power of his soul. If he cultivated according to the instructions on these Taoist supernatural powers, it could coalesce into a second true self, metamorphosing into a real living being, yet remaining telepathically connected to his true body.
At the outset, one could even sense the true Heavenly Road, thereby obtaining unimaginable good fortune, forcibly adding various buffs; as for what those might be exactly, one would need to see what one gained in the process of sensing the Heavenly Road, but at least they would all resemble duplicate pupils, Supreme Bone.
It kind of resembled Immortal Supreme’s Five Elements Corpse, but was leagues above it in terms of sophistication.
However, these Taoist supernatural powers also had some flaws, such as the need to start over.
“It’s worth a try!”
Jiang Hui contemplated for a moment and ultimately decided to give it a shot.
Cutting off the connection with his external avatar for a moment, he began to cultivate according to the instructions on the Taoist supernatural powers.
The first step was to perceive the true Heavenly Road.
But it wasn’t him perceiving it; it was his external avatar.
This was a process that required patience.
Before he knew it, the sky darkened.
Just then.
A beam of light suddenly descended from the sky, shining upon his external avatar.
And not just one beam.
Quickly, a second, a third, a fourth…
Becoming more and more concentrated, and each one brighter than the last.
The sky didn’t return to normal until the seventh beam of light descended.
But Jiang Hui, who was standing at the side, was in unparalleled shock.
Because with every beam of light that descended, he could see clear through it.
The first one took the form of the Duplicate Pupil.
The second one, the Unparalleled Battle Body.
The third one, the Primitive Five Elements.
The fourth one, the Netherworld Undying Body.
The fifth one, the Chaotic Body.
The sixth one, the form of the Congenital Holy Body Taoist Fetus.
And the seventh one… the mortal form.
