Chapter 1113: Cutting off Heaven’s will with a single sword, began to leave traces
Considering the need to alter the entire course of ancient history, which would have a far-reaching impact on the river of time and subsequent generations, Gu Changge was exceedingly cautious. Even though he had already formulated a plan in his mind, he had refrained from putting it into action. What he lacked now were witnesses and the appropriate means of spreading the story. Without these elements, his legends, once crafted, would remain unattested and unknown, making it impossible for future generations to believe.
For what is called a miracle to occur, there must be witnesses. Gu Changge traversed this vast universe, crossing one continent after another, even venturing into desolate and lifeless regions. Despite the appearance of Dark Fault in this universe, there were only slight environmental changes. However, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the longevity essence were incredibly abundant, making it a suitable place for cultivators.
Numerous sacred mountains and ancient peaks towered above, stretching endlessly. Some ancient trees blocked out the sun, with lifespans counted in millions of years, even older than the lifespans of cultivators. However, after the Dark Fault, the number of cultivators had sharply declined. Even Gu Changge had not found many traces of them. On the other hand, there were numerous ferocious beasts with low intelligence, and he could only distinguish their natures as good or evil.
After the Dark Fault, due to the impact of the previous aura, the terrifying powerful beasts had perished, leaving behind primitive beasts with undeveloped intellects. These beasts had formidable vitality but lacked cultivation. It seemed that in this era, the cultivation level was extremely low and their lifespan allowed them to collect great aura in their bodies.
‘Obviously spiritual wisdom can’t cultivate the aura of heaven and earth. During this time there was no existence of any cultivator.’
“It appears that it will take a long time for them to evolve, or I could leave behind cultivation methods.”
Gu Changge furrowed his brow but ultimately abandoned this idea. According to the normal timeline, these primitive beasts would require a long time to evolve. If he were to prematurely guide them, it might lead to unimaginable consequences.
After all, what Gu Changge wanted to do was merely leave behind a rumor in this era and minimize its impact on future generations. Otherwise, his current level of cultivation would be unable to withstand the terrifying backlash when the causality of the entire ancient history descended. Even the Fateful Immortal Boat Would likely shatter unless he chose to stay in this era.
“As I think about it, the best approach is to first find a suitable ancient planet of life and locate the earliest cultivators.”
He walked along the planets, his divine consciousness sweeping through, sending ripples throughout the entire universe. Even though he was suppressed by the will of heaven and earth and affected by the causality of the river of time’s reversal, he could only exert less than ten percent of his true power. His strength far exceeded that of an ordinary Dao Building expert. In this current era, the strength of cultivators couldn’t possibly reach a high level. The true powerhouses had already perished during the dark Fault.
The surviving cultivators in this era were either survivors from that time or individuals who had unearthed cultivation methods through ancient inscriptions or relics, following in the footsteps of their predecessors.
“Hmm? Such a rich aura of life?”
“There must be cultivators there, perhaps even traces of Immortal inheritance…”
Suddenly, Gu Changge noticed a distant region of planets. From the aura, that planet region seemed ancient, exuding a profound and vast atmosphere. Countless life stars adorned it, ma.s.sive and gently rotating, emitting an incredibly rich and vast aura of life.
He hurried toward it, his figure traversing the starry expanse in an instant, intending to land in that planet’s region. For Gu Changge, all he needed was to find a life planet with the presence of cultivators. His requirements weren’t high.
Boom!!
A terrifying aura surged, and a brilliant light illuminated the entire planet’s region. Any intelligent beings in the vicinity felt this dreadful disturbance and trembled from the depths of their souls, falling to their knees.
Within the starry expanse, a bamboo forest was shrouded in dense fairy mist. Many ancient cultivators were the first to sense the fluctuation. Shock and astonishment were evident on their faces.
“How could such an aura appear in our time…”
In this bamboo forest, many beings that had already disappeared in later generations were present. There were unicorn cubs, white tiger cubs, and young phoenixes soaring with outstretched wings. Many Heavenly Mushrooms and Holy medicines plants grew on the mountain cliffs, untouched by anyone.
However, the most attention-grabbing sight was deep within the bamboo forest—a bamboo house built amidst the boundless sea of clouds.
Inside, an elderly man with snow-white hair sat cross-legged. His body was extremely hunched, and he seemed on the brink of pa.s.sing away. His eyes were clouded and dim.
Around the bamboo house, many cultivators and even some sentient beasts with intelligence sat in meditation, as if they were listening to the elderly man with white hair explaining the principles of cultivation.
“Elderly man, what is this aura? It’s so terrifying…”
“Did you say that there were no supremely powerful beings left after the Great Extinction Era, but the aura just now was identical to what’s recorded in the scriptures about the supremely powerful ones.”
A young child with a divine glow in their eyes raised their head, curiosity written all over their face as they questioned the white-haired elder.
“This aura is too dreadful, as if it could easily destroy our planet…”
A young man carrying a Dao sword also asked, shocked, while respectfully addressing the elderly old man.
A little phoenix from a distance fluttered its wings and flew over, its whole body radiating divine light, transforming into a beautiful young girl dressed in feathers. She landed in front of the white-haired elderly man and spoke with a clear voice, “Grandpa Cang, could it be that a supremely powerful being who didn’t disappear during the Great Extinction Era is living in our world?”
The elderly man known as Grandpa Cang, upon hearing this, became somewhat nostalgic. He coughed a few times before shaking his head, “It’s impossible. During the Great Extinction Era, all the supremely powerful beings were cut down by the merciless will of heaven. Even a great master couldn’t have survived.”
“The aura we just felt might have come from beyond the heavens…”
As a survivor from the Great Extinction Era, the period after the Dark Fault, he was well aware of the hidden history of that time. Whether they were immortals or Dao Building experts, they were all eradicated by the relentless will of heaven.
“If it truly comes from beyond the heavens…”
“Would they know the cause of the Great Extinction Era? Though, if it’s really one of those legendary supremely powerful beings, they probably wouldn’t bother with us ants.”
Many of the cultivators within the bamboo forest discussed this topic, their gazes directed at the place where the brilliant light had just disappeared.
“Grandpa Cang, I want to go there and see. I want to meet one of those supremely powerful beings as recorded in the scriptures. What were they like?”
The clear voice came from the feather-clad girl transformed by Immortal Phoenix, and she was determined, with bright and shining eyes with splendor.
“Then you can go and have a look. Logically, such a powerful being wouldn’t pay attention to a little phoenix like you. In the past, during ancient times, you might have been captured, but now, even though your bloodline is strong, cultivation is extremely difficult, and there’s no way…”
The elderly man with white hair shook his head and sighed, expressing his regret.
The interruption of cultivation methods wasn’t just because of the fall of the supremely powerful beings but also the extinction of the immortal inheritance. Even for some powerful races with strong bloodline legacies inscribed in their souls, those cultivation methods were severed by the will of heaven.
How could they continue on the path paved by their predecessors? They could only wait for the suppression of the heavenly will to dissipate, and only then might they find a way to truly unlock their legacy.
