Something that even Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove could not accomplish, it could be imagined how difficult that was!
This path was even more densely covered with thorns than his road of revenge.
Kunwu smiled and said, "You don't be anxious first. Since you're going to the Heavenspan World, I'll tell you about the Heavenspan World's situation first. Then you consider whether or go or not."
Ye Yuan drew a deep breath and said, "Senior, please say!"
Kunwu nodded his head and said, "Heavenspan World and the Immortal Grove Region are two totally different concepts! It's not a higher-level space compared to the Immortal Grove Region, but a world that existed since time immemorial! The reason why it's called Heavenspan World is that there's a divine mountain there called Heavenspan Mountain! In the Heavenspan World, your so-called Deity Realm is only the starting point!"
Ye Yuan's expression changed. The meaning in Kunwu's words was that he, this existence that stood at the very summit of the Immortal Grove Region, was only the most ordinary person if he went there!
Just like … a mortal!
But toward the Heavenspan World, Ye Yuan still yearned for it more.
He very much wanted to see just how strong that world's powerhouses are!
"Heavenspan World? Heavenspan Mountain? Senior, then what kind of existence is Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove in the Heavenspan World?" Ye Yuan muttered.
Kunwu smiled and said, "Deity Realm has a total of six major realms, namely: Grotto Profound Deity Realm, Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm, Origin Deity Realm, Divine Lord Realm, Celestial Deity Realm, as well as True God Realm! Above True God Realm is the Heavenly Empyrean Realm! Heavenly Empyreans are also major power-class existences in the Heavenspan World, towering above Deity Realm! And above Heavenly Empyrean Realm, there's even Heavenly Emperor and Dao Ancestor, two great realms! The true masters of the Heavenspan World are the Dao Ancestors!"
Ye Yuan had his breath taken away from listening to it. He did not expect that the Deity Realm actually still had so many realms.
Empyrean in his eyes is already an existence too lofty beyond reach. He did not expect that above heavenly empyrean, there were actually still even higher realms!
Seeing Ye Yuan's expression, Kunwu smiled and said, "Don't have that sort of unrealistic ideas anymore! The realm of Dao Ancestor is not what you can imagine! The Heavenspan World only has nine Dao Ancestors. They are all paramount existences who obtained the recognition of a law, and they have already existed for countless billions of years! They are invincible existences! A law commanding recognition of a Dao Ancestor, unless they die, otherwise, even if your talent is even more heaven-defying than the Dao Ancestor's, it's also impossible to reach their realm!"
Ye Yuan drew a cold breath when he heard that and said in horror, "There's actually still such a thing?"
In Ye Yuan's understanding, as long as talent was sufficient, as long as effort was enough, one could step foot in a supreme realm one day.
But his way of thinking did not seem to work in the Heavenspan World.
Only when a Dao Ancestor died would a law become vacant.
But a Dao Ancestor was a powerhouse standing at the summit of the entire Heavenspan World. Who could make them fall?
Unless they killed each other!
But Kunwu said that they had already existed for god knows how many billions of years. This indicated that neither one of them could do anything to the others.
Hence, this became a paradox!
What Kunwu said was right, even if your talent was any more heaven-defying, it was also impossible to become a Dao Ancestor.
Kunwu looked at Ye Yuan's expression and smiled again as he said, "I've said, this isn't a thing that you should consider now. What you have to consider now is how to pass through the turbulent spatial flow!"
Chapter 1280 - Tears of Life!
"Spatial turbulent flow?" Ye Yuan had a bewildered look, not sure what it meant.
"An empyrean world is a sealed-off small world that is incompatible with the Heavenspan World. In an empyrean world, even if one cultivates to True God Realm, they will also be unable to ascend to the Heavenspan World! Because every empyrean world has a World Locking Gate! This World Locking Gate cuts off the empyrean world and the Heavenspan World. In between, is endless spatial turbulent flow," Kunwu said.
Ye Yuan was startled in his heart and said, "Then the Deity Realm powerhouses 100 thousand years ago, didn't they all pass through the World Locking Gate, and entered the Heavenspan World?"
A hint of disdain flashed across the corners of Kunwu's mouth, and he said, "They went out through the World Locking Gate. As for how many were able to reach the Heavenspan World, there's no way of knowing."
Ye Yuan's eyes became wide-saucers, finally understanding Kunwu's meaning.
This turbulent spatial flow was too terrifying!
The Deity Realm powerhouses that left the Immortal Grove Region 100 thousand years ago were at least no less than a hundred people.
Even though the Deity Realm had declined, there were definitely Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm existences among them.
Such a powerful lineup, but Kunwu used 'how many' this quantifying term to describe it. It could be seen how many people would die in the turbulent spatial flow1!
One had to know that those Deity Realm powerhouses were all the Immortal Grove Region's apex existences!
Those who survived in this turbulent spatial flow was actually not even one-tenth!
Seeing Ye Yuan's expression, Kunwu knew that Ye Yuan understood and said with a smile, "Now, you still want to go to the Heavenspan World?"
A hint of viciousness flashed across in Ye Yuan's gaze, and he said, "Even if this turbulent spatial flow is any more terrifying, it's also not as terrifying as losing Lingxue! The Heavenspan World, I must go and brave it! Senior, please point out the right path!"
Kunwu laughed in spite of himself and said, "Truly an infatuated one! But this turbulent spatial flow is just the first test that you have to face! The second condition is the truly difficult one!"
Ye Yuan drew a deep breath and said, "Senior, please say!"
Kunwu was also solemn as he said, "Legends have it that on the Heavenspan Mountain, there's a kind of spring water called Tears of Life. In the legends, this Tears of Life flows down from the top of the Heavenspan Mountain. As long as one consumes a drop, even if they only have a trace of spiritual consciousness existing, they can come back to life too! It's rumored that very, very long ago, somebody had once found this Tears of Life before. But that's just a rumor. Nobody has really found it before. At least, with Immortal Grove's realm, he had never seen it before."
Hearing Kunwu said so, Ye Yuan also heaved a sigh in relief.
"Senior, even if this junior has to dig three feet deep into the Heavenspan Mountain, I must also find this Tears of Life!" Ye Yuan said firmly
Heaven rewards the faithful. If there was a glimmer of hope, he would not give up!
He believed that there would come a day where he could find this Tears of Life.
It was just that his words made Kunwu and Dustless laugh at the same time.
Ye Yuan had a blank look, unsure what was going on.
Dustless smiled lightly and said, "Kid, you're really an ignoramus who's fearless! That Heaven Passage Mountain isn't what you can dig as you like! That's the Heavenspan World's Dao enlightening holy land! Only when you reach the Divine Lord Realm and open up an inner world, can you step onto the Heavenspan Mountain! Otherwise, you'll be crushed into meat paste by the Heavenspan Mountain's power of laws! And Divine Lord Realm powerhouses can only climb up 10 miles. Further up, only by reaching Celestial Deity Realm, can one set foot on it. The things that Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove haven't seen are at least above 10 thousand miles! Even if you can cultivate to the Heavenly Empyrean Realm, no idea what year it will be already!"
Ye Yuan drew a cold breath when he heard. Only then did he know this Heavenspan Mountain's ex
traordinariness.
He was still curious before, why the world outside would be named after a mountain. It turned out that it was actually this reason.
Kunwu added, "I forgot to tell you, the nine great Dao Ancestors gained enlightenment on Dao above a million miles on the Heavenspan Mountain, and from there, obtained the recognition of a law, becoming a Dao Ancestor! Many people all speculated, if there's really Tears of Life, it's very likely above a million miles! But how much assurance do you feel you have in cultivating to become a Dao Ancestor?"
Ye Yuan's entire body trembled, finally knowing why Kunwu said that it was virtually impossible!
Because wanting to become a new Dao Ancestor, there must be an old Dao Ancestor who passed away!
This difficulty was simply comparable to ascending to heaven.
Ye Yuan's expression instantly became incomparably ugly. He suddenly discovered that Kunwu saying so much was equivalent to wasting his breath.
"Senior, this … Could it be that there's no other way?" Ye Yuan said helplessly.
Kunwu gave him a glance and said with a nod, "There are two more ways!"
Ye Yuan's eyes lit up, not expecting that Kunwu actually said two more ways all of a sudden!
"Senior, please say!" A glimmer of hope could be seen in Ye Yuan's eyes again.
Kunwu let out a sigh and said, "The first method is to invite one of the Dao Ancestors to take action, and have him help look for the Tears of Life! The second method is to invite the Life Dao Ancestor to take action! What he obtained was the recognition of Life Laws. If he's willing to take action, he should be able to save this lass. Of course, this is just my conjecture! In the Heavenspan World, the strongest person that one is able to see is also just Heavenly Emperor. Dao Ancestors have already not appeared for goodness knows how many years. Nobody had seen them before at all."
Ye Yuan's mind was in a mess. Saying these words was pretty much the same as not saying.
Summing these three methods up only had one point, that was that he must have a Dao Ancestor take action, or reach the realm of Dao Ancestor.
This … was virtually something impossible.
Seeing Ye Yuan's absent-minded look, Kunwu and Dustless exchanged a glance and was also helpless.
They could see through Ye Yuan's feelings for Mu Lingxue. But, wanting to save a person who only had a trace of spiritual consciousness remaining, this difficulty was too great.
"Give up. This matter to you is simply impossible! In fact, in my opinion, the likelihood of you passing through the turbulent spatial flow is virtually zero! Stay in the Immortal Grove Region to be your controller well!" Kunwu let out a sigh and said.
After a long time, Ye Yuan s.u.c.k.e.d in a deep breath, his emotions seemed to have calmed down considerably.
Seeing Ye Yuan's expression, Kunwu and Dustless also let out a sigh in relief at the same time.
If Ye Yuan died in the turbulent spatial flow, the Immortal Grove Region would become a masterless empyrean world again.
Before long, it would thoroughly decline and wither away.
Their relationship with Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove was not shallow, and they were naturally unwilling to see this kind of thing happen.
"Senior, please tell me the way to pass through the World Locking Gate!" Ye Yuan said with a resolute gaze.
Kunwu, the two of them, were greatly surprised. They even thought that they heard wrongly.
They already stated the pros and cons very clearly. But Ye Yuan was still obstinately stuck in a delusion.
For a girl, taking a completely impossible path, and might have the possibility of losing his life at any moment, this was simply incomprehensible.
The powerhouses of Heavenspan World were not what an empyrean world's ant could be presumptuous enough to surmise!
Even if Ye Yuan controlled the Immortal Grove Region, he was still the bottommost-level existence in the Heavenspan World!
Even if Ye Yuan was amazingly talented in the Immortal Grove Region, reaching the Heavenspan World, even a dragon had to coil up too!
"You have to think carefully!" Kunwu said in a deep voice.
Ye Yuan's expression was a never before seen determination. He nodded and said, "I've thought of it very clearly! If I must become a Dao Ancestor to save Lingxue, then I'll become the Heavenspan World's tenth Dao Ancestor!" Unfortunately, the term used means several/single digit, but when translated to English, I can only use 'how many.' Can't exactly use 'several.' So actually, it was a single-digit number of people that were able to reach the Heavenspan World.
Chapter 1281 - Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang
"Wildly arrogant!"
"Ignorant!"
Kunwu and Dustless virtually said it in unison.
This kind of word could only be spoken by ignorant people.
In the Heavenspan World, gifted powerhouses would boast exaggeratedly, saying that they could achieve Heavenly Empyrean, even Heavenly Emperor.
But, even for Heavenly Emperors, they also never dared to blow this kind of trumpet, about becoming a Dao Ancestor!
Ye Yuan's gaze was an unprecedented firm, and he said lightly, "Ignorant is fine as well! Wildly arrogant also works! In this life, if I can't save Lingxue, I'm willing to sink into depravity for all ages!"
Kunwu's emotions finally calmed down a little. He was indeed given a fright by Ye Yuan's words earlier.
Because in the Heavenspan World, Dao Ancestor this realm was more like a totem.
The ones active in front of the public were only Heavenly Emperors and Heavenly Empyreans.
But at this time, Kunwu still felt Ye Yuan's powerful determination.
The resolve to put everything on the line to save his beloved!
"Forget it, you humans' feelings, I'm unable to understand. Since you want to seek death, then I'll tell you! The key to unlocking the World Locking Gate are the Four Symbols Spirits!" Kunwu said and heaved a sigh.
Ye Yuan was stunned. Only then did he understand the objective of Kanuo capturing the spirit of the white tiger back then. It was actually to unlock the World Locking Gate!
This way, back then when the dragon clan's old patriarch brought the Sacred Dragon Token and left the dragon clan, as well as Long Zhan's departure, it was probably all related to the World Locking Gate.
It was just that, don't know if they passed through the turbulent spatial flow or not.
"Many thanks for Senior's guidance! This junior still has some matters to deal with, and will take my leave first!"
Ye Yuan's figure moved, returning to the dragon clan's sky once more.
Kanuo was still in Ye Yuan's imprisonment.
Ye Yuan did not say a word and directly nailed a Soul Locking Nail onto Kanuo's body.
"HOWWLLL!"
A scream that sounded like ghosts wailing and wolves howling reverberated throughout heaven and earth, making everyone get goosebumps.
"No idea where Heaven Surmounting Divine King went to previously either. But his mood seems to be a lot better."
"The Spirit Snow Divine King is gone. Maybe the Heaven Surmounting Divine King really has a way to save her! Sigh, hope that the Spirit Snow Divine King is fine."
"No matter what, that Kanuo is dead for sure. Now, it's time for him to suffer the wrath of the Heaven Surmounting Divine King!"
...
Ye Yuan did not say anything at all. He just nailed one Soul Locking Nail after another onto that cloud of black gas.
These Soul Locking Nails were all pulled off from Mu Lingxue's body.
This cloud of black gas was similar to the fiend race's divine soul. It was just that this kind of divine soul was exceedingly difficult to be killed.
Even though Kanuo was already very weak currently, these Soul Locking Nails still could not kill Kanuo.
However, it was plenty to make him wish he was dead.
"The pain that Lingxue suffered, I hope that you can savor it well for a bit," Ye Yuan took his time and said.
Ye Yuan could maneuver the power of Heavenly Dao. Wanting to kill Kanuo was seriously too easy.
But how could killing him directly vent the hatred in his heart?
At present, the human race's territory was virtually already a piece of scorched earth.
The humans who died in this war numbered more than billions.
All of these were caused by Kanuo single-handedly!
Including the grudge of murdering his father, Mu Lingxue on the brink of death was also Kanuo's 'meritorious deed.'
Ye Yuan's killing intent towards him could practically burst through the clouds.
If Kanuo had ten thousand lives, Ye Yuan would definitely kill him ten thousand times!
"Ahh! Ye Yuan, spare me! I … I can't take it anymore! Ahh …"
Kanuo howled like a pig being slaughtered and finally could not bear it anymore, opening his mouth and begging Ye Yuan for mercy.
Ye Yuan's eyes were cold. Toward Kanuo, he only had a monstrous hatred, without a shred of compassion.
"The pain that you suffered is not yet one ten-thousandth of Lingxue's, just this and you can't stand it already? Rest assured, this is just the beginning. Before I leave the Immortal Grove Region, I'll make you experience what is called true despair!" Ye Yuan said coldly.
Ye Yuan researched greatly into the divine soul path in the first place. Regarding methods of torturing people, he could be said to have it at his fingertips.
Now, he stepped into the Deity Realm and took control of Heavenly Dao. Dealing with Kanuo, he could switch things up and play for as long as several years.
It was just that normally, facing the enemy, he was disdainful to do so, that was all.
But toward Kanuo, it was an exception!
The crimes that Kanuo committed were too numerous to be recorded.
He must suffer endless agony and die.
Hearing Ye Yuan's words, that cloud of black gas gave off a tremble, terrified to the extreme.
"Ye Yuan, I … I was wrong! I really know that I was wrong! Ahhh …"
"Since you know that you were wrong, then you have to make atonement. Now … is the time where you atone for your crimes." Ye Yuan said lightly.
