Chapter 63: then translation of chapter title
"Surpassing the Ancestral God."
Thus: 【1】 "Surpassing the Ancestral God."
A clear and elegant voice sounded, and a flash of strange color passed through Lan Nuo's eyes as he instinctively looked toward Feng Yi and said, "Fellow Daoist Feng, is there a higher realm above the Ancestral God?"
Upon hearing Lan Nuo's words, Xiao Chen also came to his senses in an instant and looked expectantly at Feng Yi.
Although he clearly understood some early-stage cultivation realm divisions, he completely did not understand the mysteries of the Ancestral God realm mentioned in rumors.
Even before, Xiao Chen had always thought that Ancestral God was not a realm title but an honorific for human ancestors like Fuxi, Sui Ren, and Shennong.
As a cultivator, he was naturally also very curious about the mysteries of this legendary supreme realm.
Glancing at the two, Feng Yi nodded and said softly, "The cultivation systems in the world are many, but to unify the division of levels, realm names basically follow the same designation; the early stages are Mundane Shedding, Knowledge Storage, and Commanding the Void. You should all be clear on these."
Having said that, seeing the two nod, Feng Yi continued: "Upon reaching the Ancestral God realm, not only does one's essence, energy, and spirit reach the utmost limit, but one also comprehends the Great Cosmic Law; under normal circumstances, it can be called eternally indestructible."
Of course, although said to be indestructible, Feng Yi clearly knew in his heart that among the myriad worlds, all indestructibility is relative, not absolute.
Whether it is immortality or indestructibility, even if one transcends the river of time and space, if one encounters a stronger supreme being of a higher realm, one can still be easily reduced to ashes, everything vanishing.
Only by continually climbing toward the pinnacle of cultivation, standing at the highest peak of all the strong in the myriad worlds, overlooking everything, can one truly be called immortal and indestructible.
With thoughts turning in his mind, Feng Yi's tone suddenly became ethereal as he said: "As for above the Ancestral God, due to different personal choices, two different paths diverge. One leans toward the physique: the Stone Person King's Path. Choosing to incarnate as a stone city, if one can successfully complete the transformation and achieve success, truly emerging into the world, one becomes the unparalleled Stone Person King in physique. The other leans toward the primordial spirit: the Supreme Ancestral God's Path. Comprehending the mysteries of law divine abilities and transforming the primordial spirit. If one can truly complete the transformation, then one becomes the invincible Supreme Ancestral God Great Completion in divine abilities, which can also be called the Physical Body King."
The ethereal and tranquil voice echoed between heaven and earth, as if containing some mysterious Dao rhyme, causing Lan Nuo and Xiao Chen to fall into a trance, as if they saw two broad highways to heaven before their eyes, giving rise to many ineffable insights in their hearts.
"Stone Person. Supreme Ancestral God incarnated as a stone city, law divine ability."
Whispers sounded one after another, and Lan Nuo and Xiao Chen couldn't help but reveal a hint of longing in their eyes.
At the same time, Lan Nuo's beautiful eyes brightened slightly, as if thinking of something, and he suddenly looked toward Feng Yi: "Fellow Daoist Feng, when we first entered the Longevity Realm, in the depths of the boundless dark clouds over Dragon Island, an ancient stone city had once appeared—could it be..."
"That's right, that is a stone city formed by a powerful being above the Ancestral God."
Feng Yi nodded, his tone somewhat emotional: "The difficulty of the Stone Person's Path surpasses people's imagination; in this world, under normal circumstances, one could even say that every such stone city is the tomb of a powerful being who surpassed the Ancestral God, and only an extremely few supremely strong individuals can truly complete the transformation, reborn from such tombs to truly stand at the pinnacle of heaven and earth."
"Moreover, most cultivators can only sink into eternal slumber, utterly silent, while the master of that stone city clearly failed to truly complete the transformation, breaking out of the city, leaving only that ancient stone city, which became a testament to his path."
"This"
Upon hearing Feng Yi's words, Lan Nuo's expression became somewhat dazed, and his eyes also involuntarily showed a trace of emotion.
Who among those capable of becoming mighty beings above the Ancestral God is not an unparalleled heavenly prodigy that overwhelms an era!
But such powerful individuals, in the end, only an extremely few can truly walk the Stone Person King's Path; one can imagine how difficult this path is.
After spending so many days together, she had grown somewhat accustomed to the mystery of this Fellow Daoist Feng.
Now, whatever secrets the other party speaks, Lan Nuo feels it only natural, so he does not doubt the truthfulness of his words.
Feeling the change in Lan Nuo's emotions, Feng Yi couldn't help but shake his head in his heart.
Although the Stone Person King's Path is said to be difficult, among the myriad worlds, heavenly prodigies and outstanding individuals are countless; after the sedimentation of countless civilizations, at least someone can truly make it through.
Compared to that, the Supreme Ancestral God's Path is truly a dead end, not only extremely difficult but also perilous at every step; a moment's carelessness will lead to eternal doom.
In the present age, Stone Person Kings are not few among the myriad worlds, yet not a single one has truly achieved the Supreme Ancestral God Great Completion as a Physical Body King.
On the other side, upon hearing the words of the two beside him, Xiao Chen couldn't help but reveal a hint of doubt in his eyes.
What stone city?
He arrived at Dragon Island through the passive shattering of void while in a coma, and had never seen that stone city at all.
However, from the two's words, Xiao Chen also vaguely guessed something.
Indeed, atop this Dragon Island actually exists a stone city formed from a being that surpassed the Ancestral God!
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen's mind surfaced the Dragon Island rumors spoken by the friend from the Longevity Continent, and a thought involuntarily arose in his heart:
Could it be that this is precisely the reason why the area where Dragon Island lies is called a taboo by the Longevity Continent?
"All right."
Glancing at the two, Feng Yi changed the topic: "For us now, the realm above the Ancestral God is still too distant; you can regard it as a cultivation anecdote, no need to pay too much attention, mainly you should still base yourselves on current practice."
"The Longevity Realm has abundant heavenly and earthly vital energy, far incomparable to the Nine Provinces where the seal has caused the vital essence to wither; moreover, the cultivation resources on Dragon Island are rich, making it very suitable for our current practice."
Having said that, glancing at Xiao Chen and sensing his external emotional fluctuations, Feng Yi spoke gently: "You also need not worry about the matters of Ancestral Dragon Village; before I left the village, I had already arranged everything; you can regard the journey to the Longevity Realm as your own tempering trip; the Longevity Realm has abundant heavenly and earthly vital energy, many cultivators, which greatly helps your own cultivation growth; when the appropriate time comes, I will naturally be able to bring you back to the Human Realm."
Since arriving in the Longevity Realm, Xiao Chen's heart has continually felt some panic and unease, but upon hearing the gentle words from his ears just now, his whole person naturally calmed down.
Since the other party has arranged everything, there is indeed no need for one's parents and beloved to worry.
After all, this Brother Feng is very likely the Fuxi, the Human Ancestor, who is most proficient in the art of deducing heavenly secrets.
Having spent so much time together, Xiao Chen still trusts this person deeply in his heart.
Since the other party said that at the appropriate time they could bring oneself back to the Human Realm, it is certainly achievable.
As for what time is appropriate, Xiao Chen, who clearly knows Brother Feng's godstick-like nature, also did not proactively ask, so as to avoid obtaining another vague and ambiguous answer.
"Um"
Glancing at Xiao Chen, Feng Yi felt somewhat speechless in his heart.
Never did he expect that in the other's heart he actually appears as a godstick figure!
Hum
Just then, his heart suddenly stirred, feeling his innate spiritual light tremble slightly, as if a lofty concept dissolved and merged completely with himself, causing his spirit to feel a moment of clarity.
Heavenly and earthly vital energy spontaneously gathered, his fleshly body instinctively received nourishment and tempering, and even his cultivation began to slowly rise; the realm of Identification Storage Third Heaven he had reached not long ago became even more stable.
However, feeling his own changes, Feng Yi's heart felt no joy at all, but rather a sense of bewilderment.
What's the situation?
Could it really be that Fuxi's status and concept actually include some godstick imagery?
Feng Yi somewhat doubted life.
Feng Yi somewhat doubted life.
