Eternal Emperor's Path to Ascension-Chapter 180: Karmic Sacrificial Great Dao Blessing
Eternal Peak, main peak.
In Tian Yongheng’s cave abode, he breathed slowly and steadily as he looked at the various system notifications surrounding him.
Aside from that, he had long since sensed Zhao Ye and Sun Hao waiting outside, but he decided to delay his seclusion a little longer.
Thus, he retrieved and created another clone, this time with the cultivation base of the Nascent Soul Realm, albeit not with stabilized cultivation, and sent it out to welcome the two top tier guests from the Turquoise Lake Sword Manor.
With that, he finally looked at the system notifications.
[Congratulations to the host for breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm.]
[Obtained a bottle of Nascent Soul Pills, the Rank-7 Dharma Artifact, Sword of Diligence, a drop of Renewed Spirit Immortal Wine, a Dharma Fusion Stone, a new system function, and a 5 times increase in the Dao Field’s Spirit Qi.]
[Bonus reward triggered: Insights into the Dao of Diligence.]
[Host, do you wish to use the bonus reward right now?]
[Yes/No]
Tian Yongheng mentally clicked on the no option.
He did not wish to enter a state of Dao comprehension right now.
He first had to stabilize his cultivation base.
As he continued to stabilize his cultivation, he looked at the various new rewards thus time.
[Sword of Diligence: Rank-7 Dharma Artifact symbolizing one of the Seven Heavenly Virtues, the Virtue or Diligence. Counterpart of one of the Seven Deadly Sins, the Sin of Sloth. Represents the utmost diligence and an unbending will to work hard despite the results. Uses the power of diligence to destroy all disturbances. The more diligent the owner, the stronger the Sword of Diligence.
The Sword of Diligence cannot be upgraded by ordinary means and needs to be fused with a Dharma Fusion Stone to be upgraded.]
Oh?
This thing is quite good!
It also matches with my temperament!
Tian Yongheng was pleasantly surprised upon seeing another of the Seven Heavenly Virtues’ representative Dharma Artifacts appear.
Last time, he had gotten the Sword of Charity when he broke through to the Golden Core Realm. It had been hundreds of years since then.
Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.
The Sword of Charity was almost comparable to a Rank-7 Dharma Artifact when it was only Rank-6 when he used it in the Simulation Battle Trial.
It had left a deep impression on him.
He naturally had high expectations upon the the Sword of Diligence.
At this point, he looked at the description of the other rewards.
[Renewed Spirit Immortal Wine: Immortal Wine brewed from the Ancient Spirit Fruit that only grows on trees blessed by the Immortal Qi. A treasure of the Upper Realm that can help one directly breakthrough or skip a minor realm with a single drop before Tribulation Transcendence Realm.]
Good stuff!
This is something that I’ll very much need in the Nascent Soul Realm to quickly improve my cultivation!
Tian Yongheng was in a good mood.
He looked at the last notification, full of anticipation for the new system function.
[Karmic Sacrificial Great Dao Blessing: Sacrificing a portion of your lifespan to temporarily increase your strength exponentially for a certain period of time depending on the amount of lifespan consumed.]
Reading the information of the new system function, Tian Yongheng was a bit stunned.
Using his lifespan to increase his cultivation temporarily?
Impossible.
His lifespan was the most paramount.
He definitely wouldn’t gamble around with it.
All of his efforts till now were solely for the sake of living longer, forever if possible.
He would definitely attain eternal life, no matter what.
As for the system function, he definitely wouldn’t use it unless it was absolute necessary.
However, he had to at least know the range of the lifespan deduction.
So he asked calmly, "System, how much lifespan will be deducted for raising my cultivation to the Immortal Ascension Realm for 5 minutes?"
[15,000 years of lifespan will be deducted.]
Seeing this, he was instantly horrified.
15,000 years of lifespan!
It was equivalent to a third of the origin lifespan he had even after achieving the Nascent Soul Realm!
Bracing himself, he asked once more, "What about the Half Immortal Realm for 5 minutes?"
[Host’s lifespan is not sufficient enough.]
"...What about 1 minute?"
[Host’s lifespan is not sufficient enough.]
"3 seconds?"
[10,000 years of lifespan will be deducted.]
Hearing the prompt, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
It was within a bearable range.
3 seconds was a long time for mighty figures.
Not to mention him, who’s true strength could not be measured by realm.
Even though he felt that the cultivation provided by the system in exchange for lifespan did not have such great foundation and he would not be able to erupt with great strength like his own cultivation, it was still enough, specifically since the Half Immortal Realm was still the topmost realm of mighty figures in the Lower Realm.
He knew for a fact that he could not contend against a Half Immortal, at least not while being in the Nascent Soul Realm.
If he could obtain the cultivation of a Half Immortal while being in the Nascent Soul Realm, even if it was only for 3 seconds, it was equivalent to another trump card and would still come in handy if he faced a desperate situation some day.
With that, he dismissed all the notifications and finally focused on stabilizing his cultivation base.
At the same time, the Spirit Qi of the entire Dao Field which was thousands of miles in range began increasing crazily.
All the living beings within sensed the abnormality and subconsciously looked towards the main peak, reverence filling their hearts.
Almost all the living beings within the Dao Field’s range had heard of the Master of Eternal Peak’s mystical abilities except for those who had yet to gain intelligence.
Aside from humans, there were also many Spirit Beasts, Spirit Plants etcetera. Aside from those born in the last hundred years, the rest had more or less gained intelligence and had a certain understanding of the outside world.
At this moment, the Spirit Qi vortex had already stopped and the entire Eternal Peak seemed very calm from the eyes of a mortal.
However, to the Immortal Cultivators who were sensitive to Spirit Qi, all of them could sense the rapid increase in Spirit Qi.
When the Spirit Qi increase finally stopped after a few days, the entire Dao Field was already comparable to that of a weaker Immortal Ascension Realm faction’s Dao Field.
Even someone with Five Elemental Spiritual Roots and no special potential or Providence could cultivate from a mortal to Foundation Establishment Realm in less than 300 years!
On the other hand, Chosen Ones on the same level as Jian Qi would only need a hundred or so years to reach the Acquired Realm!
It may seem slow compared to Tian Yongheng, who had already attained the Innate Realm at the age of 111, but it was top notch cultivation speed compared to the rest of the Lower Realm.
However, at this point, all the people who had heard the rumors of the Master of Eternal Peak being in the Tribulation Transcendence Realm had a single thought.
If he was already at the Tribulation Transcendence Realm before and just had a breakthrough, then had he already reached the Immortal Ascension Realm?
If so, then how did he not transcend the Lightning Tribulations?
As soon as this thought appeared, all the older mighty figures’ blood ran cold.
It could only mean one thing.
The Master of Eternal Peak was only at the Nascent Soul Realm before, but now, he had truly stepped into the Tribulation Transcendence Realm!
Which meant that he was already capable of competing with the Tribulation Transcendence Realm despite only being in the Nascent Soul Realm!
They could not help but remember about the legend they had heard of ever since they stepped into the cultivation world.
That one ancient Immortal God, Divine Sovereign!
It was said that the Divine Sovereign was the greatest genius the Second Great Mortal World had ever witnessed since its creation, someone who could fight across major realms and became an Immortal in less than 3,000 years!
If the Master of Eternal Peak was really the same as that mighty figure from more than a billion years ago and also possessed great ambitions, then the entire world would surely undergo great changes lasting for countless eras, just like the Divine Sovereign.
However, there was also another variable in this.
The Master of Eternal Peak was speculated to be the reincarnation of an ancient existence, possibly from the Upper Realm, so there was also a chance that he would not have any ambitions for the mortal world and would like to ascend again as soon as possible.
Of course, all of these were only speculations of the older existences in Eternal Peak who had seen the world, including Zhao Ye.
Zhao Ye could at least understand Tian Yongheng the last time they met, but he really couldn’t see through the latter now.
