All People: I Slay Gods with Martial Arts

138: Chapter 137 The Inquiry from Qing Yu, the Headmaster of the Eternal Heaven SectCultivation knows no time.

Three years later.

Ye Xiu, who had been comprehending the Dao of Longevity, opened his eyes, and the wangquan sword materialized in his hand.

The power of the Law-Breaking Path was expanding rapidly.

It advanced triumphantly within the Heavenly Venerate’s Domain, finally settling at the Late Stage of the Heavenly Venerate level.

Three years of Dao enlightenment.

Allowed his Law-Breaking Path to grow significantly.

Ye Xiu slowly stood up, his gaze piercing through the endless Chaos to observe the area where the Law-Breaking Path had taken root.

Divine light shone brilliantly there.

With his own comprehension of the Dao, the Law-Breaking Path had also received a corresponding boost and was currently devouring Chaos Qi to strengthen its Dao body.

Just then.

The Sect Master of Changsheng Heaven suddenly appeared beside Ye Xiu.

”Fellow Daoist, where do you come from?”

Ye Xiu retracted his gaze and turned to look at the old man in Daoist robes.

He shook his head slightly: ”The limit of an Immortal? Quite impressive. One more step and you would be in the Half-Step Supreme Realm. It is a pity, though; your bond with the Supreme Realm’s world is too deep. I fear you will never be able to take that step.”

”Er...”

The Sect Master of Changsheng Heaven was stunned for a moment, then gave a bitter smile: ”This old Daoist is Qingyu, the Sect Master of Changsheng Heaven. How should I address you, Fellow Daoist?”

”Ye Xiu, from the Main World.”

”The Main World?”

Daoist Qingyu was somewhat puzzled: ”A world outside the Three Heavens? I certainly hope you can tell me more, young friend.”

”We can talk, but you need to pay with an Immortal-level Dao comprehension.”

Ye Xiu looked directly at the old man, his eyes filled with a hint of pity.

This Sect Master of Changsheng Heaven had a flawless Dao, and his entire being shone with brilliant divine light; within the Immortal Realm, he had reached a point where he could advance no further.

If he had been born in the Main World.

He would likely have already broken into the Half-Step Supreme Realm.

Unfortunately, the more one Cultivates the Dao in this world, the heavier the shackles become. Without severing these worldly shackles, it is likely impossible even to leave this world.

Listening to Ye Xiu’s words.

Old Daoist Qingyu did not haggle and readily presented a piece of Dao comprehension.

”Fellow Daoist, can you now speak in detail about the Main World?”

”Naturally. What would you like to hear?” Ye Xiu received the Dao comprehension into his Sea of Consciousness and spoke quite casually.

”Why is your strength able to surpass that of an Immortal?”

”Naturally, it comes from Cultivation.”

”How does one Cultivate to transcend the Immortal Realm?”

Old Daoist Qingyu’s eyes held unconcealable excitement; this question had plagued him for three hundred thousand years.

From being a peerless figure who looked down upon his generation.

To becoming the invincible Sect Master, Qingyu had only spent ten thousand years.

How glorious he had been back then.

But the path ahead was cut off.

Even though Immortals can live forever by relying on the Dao of Longevity, without a path for further Cultivation, it is impossible to move forward.

Three hundred thousand years.

Three whole hundred thousand years.

Daoist Qingyu had cultivated the Immortal Realm to an unprecedented level.

But the more perfect it became, the more desperate he felt.

Until the day Ye Xiu arrived three years ago.

On this young man, Qingyu sensed power that surpassed the Immortal Realm, which unsettled the Dao Heart he had cultivated for three hundred thousand years.

The scorching summer.

A breeze blew through the mountains, bringing a little coolness to the Peak.

Ye Xiu looked at Daoist Qingyu.

After a few seconds of silence, he replied: ”Leave this world. The Dao here is incomplete and cannot support the appearance of power above the Immortal Realm.”

”How can one travel to the world outside the Three Heavens?”

Qingyu’s voice was very strained.

”Traverse the endless Chaos, head east, and keep walking until the Chaos Qi thins and you see the sky full of the Dao.”

”Many thanks.”

”It is merely a mutual exchange.”

Ye Xiu shook his head slightly and continued: ”Your connection to the Supreme Realm’s Dao of Longevity is too deep. Want to leave? I fear it will not be easy. Also, this path of yours is wrong. That Supreme Realm expert will not allow their own world to be controlled by others.”

”Is he still alive?”

”As long as the world exists, the Supreme Realm expert will not die. Perhaps there were changes in the Boundary Sea that caused those Supreme Realm experts to quiet down for two eras. However, it will be soon; they should all be returning.”

Supreme Realm expert? Boundary Sea?

Qingyu’s expression was very complex.

So, they, these Immortals who prided themselves on being invincible in the world, were merely frogs at the bottom of a well.

After a long silence.

Qingyu asked again: ”In the Main World, is the Supreme Realm the level above the Immortal Realm? And if one wants to break through the Immortal Realm, from what direction should one begin?”

”Since you already know the answer, why ask?”

Ye Xiu did not explain further.

This old Daoist Qingyu was shrouded in the power of longevity, clearly attempting to master the Dao of Longevity of this world.

The path was correct.

But unfortunately, the Supreme Realm expert would not allow such a thing to succeed.

In this world, there is lingering power from the Supreme Realm, most likely a contingency left by that [Supreme Position].

After all, a world located in Chaos is in an undefended state.

There must be checks and balances left behind.

Sigh...

Old Daoist Qingyu let out a long sigh.

His originally bright eyes became a bit clouded: ”This old Daoist can no longer leave this world.”

”Without destruction, there is no construction. Sever what does not belong to you. Only then can you see a more vast world.” Ye Xiu said calmly, looking not far away.

A young girl was standing there gracefully.

It was Mu Qingqing.

She wanted to approach but dared not disturb their conversation, so she stood at a distance, somewhat reserved.

”Without destruction, there is no construction? Thank you, Fellow Daoist.”

Qingyu made a decision in his heart, and after his words fell, he vanished.

A few seconds later.

Mu Qingqing walked up happily, her large, dark eyes filled with curiosity.

”Brother Ye, what did the Sect Master want with you?”

”Do you need something?”

Ye Xiu did not answer Mu Qingqing’s question, asking instead with a tone of distance.

”Next month is the Three Teachings Competition of the Three Heavens. Brother Ye, do you have time? Would you like to go to the Human Emperor World together?”

”The Human Emperor World?”

Ye Xiu frowned slightly.

Currently, his research into the Dao of Longevity had reached a Bottleneck. Before he could achieve a Breakthrough himself, it was unlikely he would have any new insights.

The Human Emperor’s world? It would be worth checking out.

After pondering for a moment.

He nodded and agreed.

”Yay! It’s a deal then; I’ll come to call you next month.” Mu Qingqing was clearly very happy and went skipping down the mountain.

Ye Xiu watched that happy figure and shook his head slightly.

Subsequently, he sank his mind into his Sea of Consciousness and began to read the Heavenly Venerate-level Dao comprehension.

Golden rays of light flickered on the mountaintop.

On the distant main Peak.

Mu Renjie watched his little disciple’s appearance, feeling both happy and worried.

The previous conversation between the Sect Master and Ye Xiu had not been shielded, so they, the Immortals, had naturally paid attention to the whole thing.

This young man from the Main World had exceeded everyone’s expectations.

A Realm above the Immortal Realm.

Those present naturally wanted to reach it as well.

But if they left the Three Heavens in the Chaos and went to the Main World, then they, these supreme Immortals, would no longer be the ceiling of combat power and would face the risk of falling.

The longer one lives, the more one fears death.

Having grown accustomed to the Peak of power, starting over elsewhere requires a resilient Dao Heart.

And their invincible Dao Heart had been worn away over endless years.

Hum...

This world was vibrating, and the Dao of Longevity was roaring.

On the main Peak.

The seven Immortals of Changsheng Heaven fell silent.

After a long time.

Mu Renjie let out a long sigh, his body vibrating as well, and terrifying power of the Dao was dissipating—it was the power of longevity that did not belong to him.

”Second Brother, you...”

Someone wanted to persuade him, but could not bring themselves to say it.

The brave face difficulties head-on.

The Main World offered an opportunity to break through the Immortal Realm, something the Three Heavens could not provide.

Severing the connection between oneself and the Three Heavens, although it would cause one’s Realm to drop from the Peak of the Immortal Realm, would also allow one to completely rid oneself of the dependence on the Three Heavens.

Thereby truly gaining the freedom to leave.

The remaining six had complex expressions; they too had once been peerless Prodigies, invincible existences of their generation.

But right now, they lacked the courage to strip away the Dao.

No one knew what the situation in the Main World was like; rashly stripping away the power of longevity carried too great a risk.
