Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 760 - 393: Demon Emperor Wants to Save the World_2

Thus, it can be said that Martial Cultivators at the Wanxiang Realm are already the most formidable fighting force of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

As he understood, Zhao Tianjue was precisely a Martial Cultivator of this level, and even a prominent one among the Wanxiang Realm.

The old man explained: "At first, I didn't know those people were of the Wanxiang Realm, but before I entered the Heavenly Tower, a Wanxiang Realm from the Divine Weapon Pavilion found me. At that time, he revealed the true form of the Wanxiang, only then did I realize that the few who once fought against the Demon Emperor's avatar were all Martial Cultivators of the Wanxiang Realm."

The Demon Emperor was certainly a mighty figure at the Saint Ancestor Realm. Her avatar defeating the Wanxiang Realm was understandable.

But upon closer thought, this Demon Emperor's power was incredibly terrifying; she could create thousands of avatars, and any single avatar could defeat multiple Wanxiang Realm Martial Cultivators.

If it were the Demon Emperor's true form, the Wanxiang Realm would be nothing more than "ants" that could be extinguished with a flick of the finger.

She's already so powerful, yet what is she pursuing?

Lu Yu had heard the legends of the Demon Emperor; she seemed to be pursuing transcendence, but what exactly is transcendence?

He shook his head vigorously, trying to dismiss these thoughts; these were not questions for him to ponder. The realms between him and the Demon Emperor differ vastly, no need to consider these matters.

"Alright, if there's nothing else, I'm leaving. Stop harming the flora of this level, hurry to the next. There's nothing valuable here, only ordinary plants, not even a single Spirit Medicine," the old man said.

Lu Yu snapped back to reality, looked at him and asked, "I have one more question."

"What?" the old man replied impatiently. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Lu Yu asked, "Will the Demon Emperor return?"

The old man hearing his question, stood there stunned for a long while, deep in thought, before lifting his head to look at Lu Yu, eyes gleaming, and earnestly said, "She will definitely return; she said she would save this world."

"Save the world?" Lu Yu was dumbfounded, confusedly asking, "What does the Demon Emperor mean by saving the world?"

The old man replied impatiently, "How would I know that esteemed figure's thoughts, but if that esteemed figure believes this world needs saving, then she will surely return."

After saying this, he vanished before Lu Yu, unwilling to speak further.

Lu Yu's question seemed to have touched a deep memory within him.

The old man didn't actually say that when the Demon Emperor's avatar defeated multiple Wanxiang Realm, it ultimately fell.

Due to the fall of the Demon Emperor's avatar, he was able to develop consciousness; otherwise, he'd be nothing more than a vague instinct.

He recalled that back then, when several Wanxiang Realm Martial Cultivators had their Wanxiang true forms shattered, the sky split open, and an unfathomable terrifying presence emerged.

The next moment, he felt a torrent of blood rain falling from the sky, bringing him new life; the Demon Emperor's avatar disappeared as well.

The sky took a millennium to return to normal, leaving only him alive in that region. After tens of thousands of years, he was found by the Divine Weapon Pavilion's strong, persuaded, and willingly entered the Heavenly Tower.

His strength wasn't as weak as it appeared; in fact, even if Lu Yu demolished the entire forest, he would still survive.

Returning to the subterranean world at the forest's center—a hall held up by tree roots lies beneath. At the center of this underground hall, a transparent emerald-green fruit dangled, with a fragmented corpse floating inside.

This was the residual corpse of the Demon Emperor's avatar he discovered, always wanting to nurture and revive the Demon Emperor's avatar with life force; yet after ten thousand years, the Demon Emperor's avatar remained in a state of neither living nor dead.

Without consciousness, yet the body still maintains vitality.

The old man stood below, gazing upwards toward the fruit with the fragmented corpse, yearning for the revival of this Demon Emperor's avatar.

He didn't understand back then the meaning of the Demon Emperor's words about saving the world, but as his power grew, he realized this world was on the brink of destruction, capable of perishing at any moment, hence his desire for the Demon Emperor's return.

Lu Yu also sensed, underneath this forest lay a vast world; he felt the resistance of that world towards him, refraining from forceful entry.

Giving one last glance at the forest, he stepped into the column of light.

Taking out the Divine Weapon Pavilion Saint Heir Identity Token, the column immediately transformed, revealing a virtual projection of the Heavenly Tower. Below was a wide green section, indicating Lu Yu had cleared it; above was a large gray section, showing he hadn't been there yet.

The level he occupied—the five hundred and sixty-second floor—was marked in red, denoting his presence there.

As the Saint Heir of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, he could utilize the token to select levels and teleport directly to the desired floor.

However, there were restrictions; he couldn't teleport to levels surpassing his realm to protect the Saint Heir from unforeseen incidents.

Lu Yu directly chose to teleport to the five hundred and seventy mth level; every tenth level offered a summit reward, allowing him to earn Contribution Points.

His main objectives now were three—instead of two—gaining experience points and Contribution Points initially.

Contribution Points were used to exchange for resources, and experience points were to enhance strength. Now a new objective was added: to comprehend the Heaven and Earth Rules within the Heavenly Tower.

The higher the level, the better the comprehension effect. Lu Yu didn't want to delay any longer, aiming to gather enough Contribution Points as swiftly as possible, to exchange for resources, ascending to higher levels to comprehend Heaven and Earth Rules, and break through to achieve the Distraction Realm.

Upon reaching the five hundred and seventy mth level, Lu Yu's Identity Token slightly vibrated, receiving 5700 Points, converted into 5700 Contribution Points.

This level was filled with demons. Lu Yu immediately expanded his domain and released his aura, drawing all the demons from this level to attack him.
