Chapter 791: Chapter 741: The Will of Heaven is Difficult to Predict Since Ancient Times
Pei Xuanjing lifted his foot, and ascended the first step, slowly climbing up along the stairs.
This human sacrificial altar carries a long legacy, a divine object passed down from the ancient times, used by the Witch Deity Teaching in their rituals. Countless human rulers have made sacrifices here, making it extremely significant and terrifying.
Of course, with Pei Xuanjing’s strength, he could easily float up, but out of respect, he chose to ascend step by step, taking in the ancient and wild aura from the Ancient Era.
[Taoyun Points that can be extracted from the Human Sacrificial Altar: 20,000,000 points.]
Upon reaching the last step, truly stepping onto the sacrificial altar, the simulator in his brain, which had been dormant for a while, popped up a prompt.
Twenty million Taoyun points, indeed not a small sum.
Moreover, Pei Xuanjing clearly noticed a small difference in the prompt provided by the simulator this time, compared to previous ones.
In the past, whenever Pei Xuanjing encountered something that could bring him Taoyun points, the simulator’s prompt would state, “Refining XXX can yield XXX Taoyun points.”
But this time, when he touched this human sacrificial altar, the prompt stated “extract,” not “refine.”
Seeing the unique qualities of this sacrificial altar, even the simulator determined that it probably couldn’t be refined.
However, to Pei Xuanjing, all these are trivial matters. After all, this human sacrificial altar belongs to the Witch Deity Teaching, it would be inappropriate for him to attempt to refine, let alone succeed in doing so.
To him, the key point wasn’t these things, but the notification indicating that he could extract twenty million Taoyun points from the sacrifice altar. This was indeed a substantial gain.
As long as he could obtain these twenty million Taoyun points, it would mean his trip had not been in vain, even if he gleaned nothing else from the sacrificial altar.
It is worthwhile to note that given his current breakthrough in strength level, the Taoyun points he needs for the simulated cultivation have changed to a total of 100,000,000 – it’s truly a staggering figure even for him.
Pei Xuanjing is currently at the Nine Realms of Spirit, standing at the peak of cultivation. This is indeed joyful news, but it also presents him with a problem, which is that he seemed to have reached the end of the known cultivation path.
Everyone, including Pei Xuanjing, knew that the Nine Realms of Spirit should not be the pinnacle of cultivation. Above it should lie the existence of the Immortal Dao and the immortal True Immortal Realm.
However, throughout countless years, no Immortals have ever appeared in the records of the Daming World, nor have any cultivators truly set foot in the legendary Immortal Dao Realm to become Immortals.
Therefore, for Pei Xuanjing, this implies that his future path of cultivation will rely on his own exploration. He can not draw too much experience from other sources. He needs to grope his way forward on his own path to find the real Immortal Path.
This is not an easy task, or rather, for many who stand at the pinnacle of cultivation and are the strongest beings in the Nine Realms of Spirit, it is virtually impossible. Otherwise, throughout the countless years, so many powerful beings would not have died regretfully, finally daring to step into the Chaos with a desperate mindset, never to return.
Even with the help of his life simulator, Pei Xuanjing does not have enough confidence that he can traverse the Immortal Path and transform into an Immortal God.
Thus, for his cultivation and to give himself ample room for trial and error, and to try different paths, Pei Xuanjing’s demand for Taoyun points has become greater. Only when he has enough Taoyun points to sustain multiple life simulations can he continue to trial-and-error, verify his assumptions and ideas, accumulate experience, weed out many incorrect answers, and possibly break through the gap between the Spirit Realm and Immortal Dao, and truly transform into the Immortal Dao.
“To begin a life simulation, I need one hundred million Taoyun points. But how many life simulations will I need to truly comprehend the Immortal Dao?” Pei Xuanjing wondered.
Innumerable mighty beings have attempted to explore the Immortal Dao in countless years. However, to this day, no Immortals have appeared, showing that their path was misguided or incomplete, ultimately leading to their failure.
Even though Pei Xuanjing could stand on the shoulders of these predecessors and draw on their experiences to avoid many detours, he understood the difficulty in truly forging a successful path.
Even with the life simulator, Pei Xuanjing did not dare to speak easily. Without such a near-magical life simulator, he wouldn’t have had the slightest hope.
This wasn’t because Pei Xuanjing lacked confidence or resolve, but simply the reality of the situation.
Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. Only those who have just emerged on the world stage, who find the world full of mysteries and puzzles, possess greater drive.
The saying “The older one gets in the world, the smaller the guts become,” is not without reason. As people, or sentient beings, know more and understand more, they become awed by the horrifying and boundless nature of the universe.
God’s will has always been inscrutable since ancient times. Perhaps mortals, who dare boast about defying and extinguishing the Heavens, may utter such words, but any cultivator that has entered the Spirit Realm, particularly the stronger ones, understand the vastness of Heaven and Earth and dare not utter such words lightly.
“Next, Court Elder, feel free to learn here to your heart’s content. I have other duties to attend to and will not disturb your cultivation,” said the Witch God Sect Leader to Pei Xuanjing.
Although he had just left seclusion not long ago, as the ruler of a top power, the Witch God Sect Leader had many responsibilities on his hands.
Remember, apart from the plan of merging two realms being jointly driven by many powerhouses, there are also collaborations between the Witch God Sect and the Great Ming Divine Dynasty.
And as for Pei Xuanjing, he would certainly need a considerable amount of time to cultivate here. It would not be convenient for the Sect Leader to remain, so he decided to leave.
“Then, I’d love to.” Pei Xuanjing smiled and nodded. He understood the Sect Leader’s intentions.
Soon after the Witch God Sect Leader departed, Pei Xuanjing fully focused his attention on the sacrificial altar before him. He sat down with his legs crossed, releasing his Primordial God Power to sense the sacrificial altar.
