No hope for eternal life

Chapter 420 Above Level 9!

Mu Changsheng became even more eager to learn, and asked again: "What is the secret?"

"Above the ninth realm is the tenth realm." Taoist Master Xian said in a deep voice.

"Ten realms!" Mu Changsheng was shocked. He had never thought that there would be ten realms above the nine realms.

Taoist Master Xian said: "Looking at the history of the Nine Realms, it is actually a history of constantly exploring new realms. In the early days of the Nine Realms, the cultivators at that time did not even have the ability to cross realms, and could only shrink in the Heavenly Fire Realm. The Golden Core and the Nascent Soul were enough to dominate the four directions. Then there were the transformation of the spirit, the crossing of the tribulation, the sea of ​​​​gods, and the supernatural powers. One by one, the predecessors and sages came one after another, and new realms were constantly explored. The cultivators also dispersed from the Heavenly Fire Realm to the Nine Realms until 200,000 years ago, when the first Nine Realm cultivator appeared - the Heavenly Saint Emperor. All of these verified the saying that there is no end to cultivation. Therefore, after the appearance of the Nine Realms, some people have begun to study the tenth realm above the Nine Realms. And if you want to study the Tenth Realm, the most core problem is how many resources are needed to break through the Tenth Realm. You know, just crossing the Nine Realms Wind and Thunder Tribulation requires almost the resources of one realm to support it. How many resources does the Tenth Realm need?"

“That’s right.” Mu Changsheng nodded repeatedly after hearing this. The reason why Mo Lianyue was able to survive the catastrophe of wind and thunder was absolutely inseparable from the full support of Tianling Sect. The resources consumed behind this could probably only be easily provided by Tianling Sect in the entire Nine Realms.

According to this experience, the resources consumed in breaking through the Ten Realms must be more terrifying than the Ninth Realm Wind and Thunder Tribulation. Even if the Tianling Sect puts all its efforts into it, it may not be able to produce them. And the Tianling Sect is already the richest force in the Nine Realms, so resources are the biggest problem in reaching the Ten Realms.

Taoist Master continued, "This problem has troubled the Nine Realms for nearly 100,000 years, until 90,000 years ago, when the Nine Realms' spiritual energy revived. At that time, there was a Tianlei Emperor in the Heavenly Human Realm. He was almost dead, and the only chance to prolong his life was to achieve the Tenth Realm. At that time, he pondered and not only figured out a set of methods to break through the Nine Realms, but also figured out how to solve the problem of breakthrough resources. His method was to use the power of the spiritual veins that appeared when the Nine Realms' spiritual energy revived to break through!"

"Yes, we can use the power of spirit veins!" Mu Changsheng clapped his hands in admiration. He had personally experienced the cleansing power of the spirit veins in the Heavenly Spirit Realm. The spiritual power in the spirit veins was countless times purer than the best spirit cores. The entire spirit vein could be regarded as a super spirit stone mine.

“But Emperor Tianlei failed. There was nothing wrong with his method of breakthrough and the idea of ​​using the power of spiritual veins. He also successfully summoned the calamity of the ten realms, but unfortunately, he was not able to survive the calamity of the ten realms.” Taoist Master Xi said regretfully.

Mu Changsheng sighed lightly. He had already expected this result because according to historical records, the Emperor Tianlei did not live past 50,000 years old.

"What happened next?" Mu Changsheng continued to ask.

Taoist Master Xian said slowly: "Before Emperor Tianlei died, he passed on his experience of the Ten Realms to many cultivators in the Nine Realms. Therefore, two of the Nine Realms cultivators of the same generation as Emperor Tianlei chose to do the same as Emperor Tianlei and go through the Ten Realms Tribulation, because the spiritual energy only revives once every fifty thousand years. Once they missed that spiritual energy revival, they would never have the chance to reach the Ten Realms again. But after all, it was their first time to encounter the Ten Realms Tribulation and they did not have complete experience in going through the tribulation. Therefore, the two of them also fell into the Ten Realms Tribulation like Emperor Tianlei, and the story of ninety thousand years ago ended here."

“The reason why the Great Emperor Changsheng has settled down is because he is preparing to cross the calamity of the ten realms, so he dare not do a bold act like attacking the Ji clan again.” Mu Changsheng said suddenly. At this moment, the Great Emperor Changsheng must be guarding the Tiansheng Realm, waiting for the spiritual veins of the Tiansheng Realm to appear.

"That is indeed one of the reasons, but my story is not finished yet. After telling the story of 90,000 years ago, it is time to tell the story of 40,000 years ago." Taoist Master said slowly: "40,000 years ago, a new round of spiritual energy revival appeared on time, which once again stirred the hearts of the ninth realm cultivators of that era, because according to common sense, that spiritual energy revival was their only chance to achieve the tenth realm."

“Speaking of the battle among the ten realms, we have to mention the Skyfire Emperor Chen Xuan. When he was young, the Skyfire Emperor was able to fight against the ninth realm with the eighth realm. After his cultivation reached the ninth realm, he was naturally the best in the nine realms. Even the Changsheng Emperor of that era was defeated by him. The Changsheng Emperor had to escape to the depths of the void far away from the nine realms to save his life. Even You Wushuang at that time had to be inferior to the Skyfire Emperor. Everyone unanimously believed that the Skyfire Emperor would be the only one who could achieve the ten realms.” Taoist Master Xi said with emotion.

Mu Changsheng's heart suddenly tightened, because all he knew about the Skyfire Emperor from the history books, apart from the description of his great power, was this: the cause of death was unknown, and he was 185 years old.

Taoist Master saw Mu Changsheng's nervousness, shook her head slightly and said: "As you know, the Skyfire Emperor failed to achieve the Tenth Realm. There are rumors that he died in the Tenth Realm Tribulation. The specific details may only be known by his contemporaries You Wushuang and You Wuye, but the story of the Tenth Realm is still not over. Forty thousand years ago, the Skyfire Emperor failed to achieve the Tenth Realm, but another person successfully broke through to the Tenth Realm. He also named the Tenth Realm the Sky Emperor Realm!"

"Who is that person?" Mu Changsheng asked hurriedly. He felt it was too unbelievable. If someone had reached the tenth realm forty thousand years ago, why hasn't he heard of it at all now?

"That person's name is Lin Li. Like the Skyfire Emperor, he was born in the Skyfire Realm. He was originally an unknown eighth-realm cultivator in the Skyfire Realm. However, not long after the Skyfire Emperor's death, he suddenly passed through the Tenth Realm Tribulation in the Skyfire Realm and became the first Tenth Realm cultivator in the history of the Nine Realms." Taoist Master An replied.

"Lin Li." Mu Changsheng's face turned strange when he heard the name. He had read the history of the Nine Realms and had never seen any record about Lin Li.

"What happened after that was a little weird." Taoist Master continued with a serious expression: "After Lin Li became a Tenth Realm cultivator, his huge ambitions were quickly exposed. He wanted to rule the entire Nine Realms and demand that all cultivators in the Nine Realms submit and worship him. He also wanted to completely destroy the demon race. But before Lin Li could do anything, he encountered an accident."

"What accident?" Mu Changsheng asked subconsciously.

"He's injured!" Taoist Master said the shocking incident: "With his tenth realm cultivation, he should have been invincible, but at that time, the Nine Realms suddenly spread the news that Lin Li was seriously injured. At that time, the news spread more and more in the Nine Realms, but Lin Li himself stopped and rarely showed up. The plan to exterminate the demon race and unify the Nine Realms was shelved. Lin Li's abnormal behavior actually verified the rumors in the Nine Realms. Everyone was wondering if Lin Li was really seriously injured and why he was injured?"

“Then, Ao Xuan, the leader of the Dragon Clan at that time, was the first to stand up. She was the leader of the Demon Clan at that time, and Lin Li had already expressed his intention to eradicate the Demon Clan. She keenly realized that if she wanted to save the Demon Clan and the Dragon Clan, now was her only chance. While Lin Li was seriously injured, she wanted to do something unprecedented and kill a Tenth Realm cultivator with a Ninth Realm cultivator!”

"Killing a Tenth Realm with a Ninth Realm!" Mu Changsheng was deeply shocked. He then thought of the mysterious cause of Ao Xuan's death recorded in history books, and immediately asked Taoist Master, "Did Senior Ao Xuan succeed?"
