Chapter 3279: Eight Sanctuaries
Outside Myriad Beast Ridge.
The Heavenly Supremacies left one after another. Some of them were still indignant and displeased.
“Senior Brother Yang, are we really going to obey the Palace Lord’s orders and stop expanding?” The person who spoke was also an Utmost Heavenly Supremacy called Li Hun.
In the Heaven and Earth Creation Diagram, the few of them were as close as brothers and were bosom buddies.
Among the few of them, Yang Mo was the leader.
“Five Poisons Palace has indeed gone too far.”
The person who spoke was a beautiful woman called Cai Wei, also an Utmost Heavenly Supremacy.
Cai Wei said, “However, what the Palace Lord said makes sense as well. If a conflict breaks out with Five Poisons Palace because of this, we won’t be able to defend with our current strength.”
“Hmph!”
Li Hun said angrily, “I just can’t take this lying down! Isn’t the Palace Lord a little too cowardly? In fact, I’m completely indignant that we have to take him as our master.”
“He merely relied on the bloodline of the Creation Green Lotus to obtain the recognition of the Heaven and Earth Creation Diagram. Apart from that, in terms of cultivation, combat strength and prestige, how can he compare to Senior Brother Yang?”
“Li Hun!”
Yang Mo berated and shook his head. “Don’t say that again in the future.”
Although he said that, it was true that he did not truly acknowledge this master as well.
Yang Mo said, “The Palace Lord is most likely just compromising for the time being. Once his Essence Spirit realm advances to the Dao Hegemony realm, he’ll make other arrangements after releasing our teacher and the others.”
“Who knows when we’ll have to wait till?”
Li Hun pouted. “Senior Brother Yang, I reckon that you’ll advance to the Dao Hegemony realm before he can.”
Yang Mo smiled indifferently and looked into the distance. With a firm gaze, he said slowly, “No matter which of us can advance further, we can rewrite the fate of Chaos Palace!”
…
When Su Zimo returned to his cave abode, he did not cultivate immediately. Instead, he returned to the Heaven and Earth Creation Diagram.
He still had many questions about the Heaven and Earth Creation Diagram.
“Master.”
Sensing Su Zimo’s descent, Paramount Supremacy Lin Meng and the others appeared one after another.
“How much do you guys know about the turmoil in the major chiliocosm back then?”
As Su Zimo’s cultivation realm increased continuously, he realized that the source of many things was related to the huge turmoil more than six billion years ago.
The shattering of the Chaos Green Lotus, the destruction of the Chaos Sanctuary, the fall of the Fiend Lord, Empress Evil and the others into the medium chiliocosm, the descent of the Lords of the Heavenly Court and the sealing of the medium chiliocosm…
“We don’t know the exact reason either.”
Paramount Supremacy Lin Meng said, “That turmoil affected the Saints of the major chiliocosm. The eight Sanctuaries and all living beings of the world were implicated. Even we were not qualified to partic.i.p.ate directly and we merely suffered from the repercussions.”
Even Dao Supremacy experts did not know the reason!
“The eight Sanctuaries?”
Su Zimo’s heart skipped a beat as he asked, “Apart from the Chaos Sanctuary, what are the other seven Sanctuaries?”
Paramount Supremacy Lin Meng said, “The structure of more than six billion years ago was the Divine Punishment Sanctuary in the east, the Ancestral Fire Sanctuary in the south, the Nirvana Sanctuary in the west and the Yin Yang Sanctuary in the north.”
“The s.p.a.ce Time Sanctuary in the northeast, the Life Sanctuary in the southwest and the Reincarnation Sanctuary in the northwest.”
Su Zimo nodded.
Including the Chaos Sanctuary in the southeast where he was, it corresponded to the eight Sanctuaries.
Paramount Supremacy Lin Meng continued, “However, apart from the Chaos Sanctuary, the Life Sanctuary and Reincarnation Sanctuary were also severely injured during that huge turmoil and should have been destroyed.”
A single turmoil destroyed three Sanctuaries of the major chiliocosm!
From the looks of it, the Fiend Lord, Empress Evil and the others were most likely related to the other two destroyed Sanctuaries.
In fact, the black-robed man in the ruins of the Blood Sea might even be from one of them!
“Six Paths of Reincarnation…”
Suddenly, the incomparably shocking Six Paths Abyss that he had seen in the Netherworld flashed through Su Zimo’s mind, as though it could devour everything.
“Saint Lord Reincarnation!”
Su Zimo’s heart skipped a beat as he thought of a possibility.
After pondering for a moment, Su Zimo asked again, “These so-called Saint Lords… Does it refer to their statuses as the Lords of the Sanctuaries or a cultivation realm above the Saint realm?”
“It’s short for the Lord of the Sanctuary.”
Paramount Supremacy Lin Meng said, “However, the eight Saint Lords are all above the Saint realm. Experts of this realm are called Great Saints!”
“When a living being fuses with the Great Dao and becomes a Saint, they will be indistinguishable. That is the secret of the Saint’s eternal life. As long as the Great Dao is not destroyed, the Saint will not die.”
“Even if the Saint’s soul is shattered, as long as the Great Dao is still around, the Saint can still make use of the power of the Great Dao to revive and return to his peak.”
Su Zimo nodded to himself.
It was only at that moment that he truly understood the secret of eternal life.
Once one transformed into the Great Dao and became a Saint, they would be able to live forever!
“What are Great Saints?”
Su Zimo asked again.
Paramount Supremacy Lin Meng replied, “It’s said that Great Saints have the power to destroy the Dao! When Saints fight, they can’t kill the other party completely. The power of a Saint is not enough to destroy the Great Dao. If the other party dies, he can still be reborn.”
“However, Great Saints possess the power to destroy the Great Dao!”
Su Zimo was enlightened.
In other words, if a Great Saint attacked and erased the other party’s synthesis of the Great Dao from the world, the other party would never be able to revive!
Saints had eternal lives and endless lifespans, but it did not mean that they would never die!
As for the eight Saint Lords in the past, they were all Great Saints and had the power to kill Saints!
They had already cultivated to this realm and could be said to be at the peak of the Three Realms. Why did such an intense conflict break out between them and cause a huge turmoil that swept through the Three Realms?
If his guess was correct, the nine Lords of the Heavenly Court who established the Heavenly Court should be Saints from the other five Sanctuaries.
Their true goal was to seal the Fiend Lord, Empress Evil and the others from returning to the major chiliocosm.
However, since the Fiend Lord, Empress Evil and the others had already fallen into the medium chiliocosm, why did the five Saint Lords not descend and kill them completely to prevent future trouble?
There were still many questions regarding this matter.
However, there was no way experts at the level of Paramount Supremacy Lin Meng could come into contact with such knowledge.
“Why can’t I advance to the Saint realm in the Heaven and Earth Creation Diagram?”
Su Zimo asked.
Paramount Supremacy Lin Meng said, “The Heaven and Earth Creation Diagram is only a Saint Weapon after all and has its limitations. Even if there’s a world inside and it contains creation, it can only be considered a speck of dust in the trichiliocosm at most.”
“The 3,000 Great Daos are within it as well. However, the synthesis of a complete Great Dao is only possible upon return to the major chiliocosm.”
Su Zimo pondered in silence in deep thought.
He had already refined the Heaven and Earth Creation Diagram and the wisp of Chaos Qi inside had already synthesized into the Chaos World.
He had a feeling that the original intention of the Heaven and Earth Creation Diagram might not be just a weapon.
“Have you guys heard of the Merits Gold Lotus and Apocalyptic Black Lotus?”
Su Zimo asked.
Since Paramount Supremacy Lin Meng and the others knew nothing about the Chaos Green Lotus, there was a chance that they did not know about the Merits Gold Lotus and Apocalyptic Black Lotus as well.
However, the two lotus flowers were way too important to Su Zimo.
The fastest way for him to increase his cultivation realm was to synthesize the remaining two lotus flowers!
The improvement of his physique and bloodline was only one of them.
After synthesis, he could complete the lineage memories!
With those memories, he would be able to comprehend the Chaos Great Dao with half the effort and everything would fall into place!
Paramount Supremacy Lin Meng and the others shook their heads with blank expressions.
