Immortal Starry Sky-Chapter 651 - 625: Meeting an Old Friend in a Foreign Land_2
All the Truth Power within the Ganges Realm can be said to originate from the Seed of Truth. Possessing the Seed of Truth is equivalent to mastering an incredibly terrifying Truth Power. Such a sacred object, who wouldn't covet it?
But the guardianship of the Three Venerables makes everyone lose any thought of pursuing the Seed of Truth.
"Is there no other way?" Wang Xu said unwillingly.
He was determined to obtain the Seed of Truth. Whether it was in the core area of the Ganges Heart Domain at the center of the Ganges Truth Tree or under the guardianship of the Three Venerables, nothing could stop Wang Xu's desire to seize the Seed of Truth!
"Another way? Unless you can convince the Venerables to let you go there and agree to let you take the Seed of Truth… but is that possible?" Shuluo shook his head and laughed.
"Make the Venerables allow you to approach the Seed of Truth?"
Wang Xu fell into deep thought.
Soon, his eyes lit up: "I've got it! I've got a way!"
"What way?" Now it was Shuluo's turn to be curious.
"Do you know about an agreement between the Three Great Palaces of Truth?" Wang Xu said excitedly, "It's the 'Day of Truth'!"
"Day of Truth? My heavens, you really dare to think!" Shuluo exclaimed, "That is a showdown between the Seats of the Three Great Palaces of Truth to determine the strongest Seat leader, what does that have to do with a mere student like you?"
The Day of Truth is the only means of communication among the Three Great Palaces of Truth.
From time to time, the Ganges Truth Tree suddenly descends a leaf, which contains Endless Truth. If someone comprehends it, their power will surely soar, elevating them several levels! 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
It shows what kind of wealth this leaf is for the Three Venerables.
But there is only one leaf, and if it simply lands on one domain and belongs to that, how could the other two Venerables easily agree to hand over such a treasure?
Although the three Venerables rarely interact with each other, they are competitors, both openly and in secret, with strong suspicion towards each other!
Thus, for the sake of the leaf, the three Venerables agreed to use the Day of Truth to determine its ownership.
The Three Venerables, naturally, would not fight each other. They are the supreme rulers of the Palaces of Truth and the pinnacle powers of the Ganges World; a battle among them would only lead to untold destruction.
Thus, the Seats naturally became the main contenders for the leaf.
The Three Great Palaces of Truth agreed that all Seat leaders could participate in this chaotic battle, and whoever emerges victorious would obtain the leaf.
From then on, the Day of Truth was born.
According to historical records, there have been eight Days of Truth, representing eight leaves falling from the Ganges Truth Tree, with eight chaotic battles among the Seat leaders!
"The showdown between Seat leaders indeed has nothing to do with me, but don't forget there are other rewards!" Wang Xu said, "I once heard that the leader of the Blade Seat from the Eternal Palace once won a leaf for Venerable Gua Ao, and Venerable Gua Ao, to reward the Blade Seat leader, promised to fulfill one of his wishes."
"To my knowledge, the Blade Seat leader's final wish was to have the first of the Blade Seat accompany Venerable Gua Ao into the forbidden area of the Eternal Palace to absorb Truth Power, enhancing his strength!"
"I was always curious about where exactly the forbidden area of the Eternal Palace is, where one could absorb Truth Power. Now it seems, as you said, it's the Ganges Heart Domain. For the first of the Blade Seat, only the Seed of Truth in the Ganges Heart Domain holds the massive Truth Power needed to enhance his strength!"
Wang Xu said up to this point, but Shuluo couldn't listen any longer.
"Tai Xu, your method is indeed not bad, but have you considered these points?" Shuluo said, "First, when will the next Truth Leaf fall? When will the Day of Truth arrive? From historical records to now, only eight leaves have fallen, and waiting for the ninth might take countless Law Eras!"
"Second, even if the Day of Truth arrives, how can you be sure the Blade Seat leader will win the Truth Leaf again? The Seat leaders of our Supreme Palace are all super-strong, their power absolutely not inferior to your Blade Seat leader!"
"Third, even if the Blade Seat leader wins the Truth Leaf again and makes a wish, what qualifications do you have to become the first of the Blade Seat?"
Shuluo made no hesitation in discouraging Wang Xu, "So I say, this method is unfeasible!"
"You're indeed right, it is not a viable method, but even if there's a slightest chance, I think I'd be willing to give it a try!" Wang Xu said determinately, "The first of the Blade Seat, huh? I'll prove it to you!"
"As for the Day of Truth, I think it should be soon. There's already a rumor in the Eternal Palace that the Truth Leaf will fall soon. Don't forget, out of the eight Truth Leaves, four have landed in our Eternal Palace!"
"The first of the Blade Seat? Haha! Don't overestimate yourself. The Blade Seat is the first Seat of the Eternal Palace; the first of the Blade Seat is so strong, his power might soon catch up with the Blade Seat leader!" Shuluo shook his head, "By the time you reach such a level, Chaos might have long since perished."
"Don't believe me? Then just wait and see!"
A gleam flashed in Wang Xu's eyes.
Since reviving his family, there has never been a moment when Wang Xu desired to become stronger so much.
The first of the Blade Seat.
This will be the goal he strives for!
Only by reaching such a level can he convince the Blade Seat leader to willingly give him the spot to enter the Ganges Heart Domain, granting him a chance to approach the Seed of Truth, and thus… obtain the Seed of Truth!
...
The two continued chatting for a long while, eventually having to pause due to an Ancient Fierce Beast, which they had to deal with together.
During this process, Wang Xu also realized Shuluo's current power.
Though seemingly in the Early Stage of the Emperor Spirit Realm, his true strength is comparable to those in the Pinnacle Emperor Spirit Realm. With the terrifying power of Chaos Devouring Fire, Shuluo can easily slay anyone at the Pinnacle Emperor Spirit Realm.
Without such great power, Wang Xu could only wait until Shuluo took care of the powerful Ancient Fierce Beast before he went on to handle the Late, Middle, and Early Stage Emperor Spirit Realm Ancient Fierce Beasts.
"My mission is in the east, yours is in the south, we must part ways here."
The two stopped, Shuluo said.
Wang Xu nodded: "This is a trial, ultimately something I must complete on my own."
Indeed, Wang Xu could ask Shuluo for help in dealing with the Ancient Fierce Beast guarding the treasure, making the task easier to complete.
But doing so would mean his abilities would not improve at all, and his standing in the Blade Seat would become increasingly awkward, eventually leading to his expulsion by the Blade Seat leader.
That is absolutely not what Wang Xu wanted to see.
"Farewell!"
Shuluo gave a casual farewell, turned, and left as a stream of light.
As soon as he left, Wang Xu lost the support to fly mid-air and had to land back on the ground.
"Take care."
Watching Shuluo leave, Wang Xu hurried toward the direction of his mission.
...
The Venerable of Ten Thousand Fires, a renowned Emperor Spirit Realm powerhouse from ancient wars.
He had a scepter, just the height of a person, with immense power, commanding all the fires of the world. When the scepter swung, flames overwhelmed like a tidal wave, burning all enemies to ashes!
After the Venerable of Ten Thousand Fires perished, his scepter remained here. Though just the height of a person, the wooden scepter was enveloped in brightly burning flames, as if in commemoration of the Venerable of Ten Thousand Fires, representing his unending belief.
Many have coveted this scepter, wanting to command the fires of the world like the ancient Venerable of Ten Thousand Fires, yet all met their demise at the mouths of the Ancient Fierce Beasts.
"This is the scepter!"
Wang Xu, lurking in the shadows, felt the searing heat waves from the scepter from afar, but didn't dare approach because not far from the scepter, an Ancient Fierce Beast, resembling a lion with its body covered in red flames, was quietly crouching, deep in slumber.
"Sure enough, it's the 'Grand Shadow Fire Lion'!"
The power and realm of this Grand Shadow Fire Lion is at least at the Late Stage of the Emperor Spirit Realm, just a step away from the Pinnacle Emperor Spirit Realm. Unless a true Pinnacle Emperor Spirit Realm comes, there's essentially no chance of defeating the Grand Shadow Fire Lion and seizing the scepter.
"Let me try and see just how strong this Grand Shadow Fire Lion is!" Wang Xu didn't plan on using any clever tricks; he directly chose to activate his ability, causing his form to soar into the sky, transforming into a giant golden figure standing hundreds of meters tall!
