Chapter 310: Secret of the Millennium Cataclysm!
Chapter 310: Secret of the Millennium Cataclysm!
The Primordial True Sage's voice rumbled like distant thunder echoing through clouds as his words faded into silence.
Lv Yang exhaled deeply. The moment the Sage finished speaking, foreign memories surged into his mind—memories that didn't belong to him. He could even sense them clawing their way into his consciousness, as though emerging from some hidden recess of his soul.
These were the rules of the "Wu You Heaven."
"There are five scenarios within Wu You Heaven", the memories whispered. "Each corresponds to a tribulation the Primordial True Sage faced five thousand years ago."
"It was these five tribulations that ultimately halted his Foundation Building."
"The so-called 'transcending tribulations' requires me to enter Wu You Heaven as the 'Primordial True Sage' and resolve those five tribulation scenarios."
"Break one tribulation, gain one Divine Ability."
"Break all five, and one shall command Wu You Heaven itself!"
Realization dawned. All this talk of overcoming tribulations and seizing Fruit Positions was mere distraction—the core was a cultivation method tied to Wu You Heaven's Fruit Position!
"A Fruit Position ascends to heaven, upheld by countless cultivators below!"
He recalled the nature of Fruit Positions: "Without cultivators to sustain it, a Fruit Position's power remains hidden, unattainable despite its grandeur."
Just like Wu You Heaven now—no one cultivates within it, incomplete and unrealized!
Staring at the Primordial True Sage, awe churned in his chest. The True Monarch Qingcheng Feixue had once claimed empty enlightenment was illusory. Yet Wu You Heaven possessed every characteristic of a true Fruit Position!
How had he done it?
Through the Everflowing Water alone? Or by harnessing Dao Aberration's power? If empty enlightenment were this simple, why had no one succeeded before?
More perplexing—the Primordial True Sage's enlightenment defied convention. Lv Yang remembered Qingcheng Feixue explaining that even first-rank true techniques relied on external theft rather than true creation. But this Wu You Heaven was genuine ex nihilo!
"Fellow Daoist's reputation is well-earned", Lv Yang said, bowing respectfully. "No wonder you're called the Incarnation of Calamity."
"Ah?" The Sage's calm shattered as his brows lifted. "Calamity Incarnation? That's what you believe?"
"My sect's True Monarch holds this view."
"Ah, then no surprise." The Sage's laughter turned bitter. "A swarm of parasites, selfish and parasitic—of course they'd slander me thus."
Lv Yang's eyebrows twitched.
Slander? So the calamity claim is false?
"You ask what the Millennium Cataclysm is?" the Sage continued.
"I have a guess." Lv Yang bowed again. "Perhaps it's the tribulation of battling external Jie Tian realms?"
"Hmph! Sharp indeed!" The Sage nodded. "Your sect truly harbors a True Monarch if you grasp this much."
Lv Yang inwardly cursed. Testing if I have a True Monarch backing me?
"The war interpretation isn't far off", the Sage admitted.
"The Millennium Cataclysm refers to Jie Tian wars—when our realm's True Monarchs united to assault heavenly realms and seize their Fruit Positions."
"A noble endeavor."
"Consuming other Jie Tian's Fruit Positions would strengthen our own realm's Fruit Position, elevating all True Monarchs' power."
"However..." The Sage's voice darkened. "These 'True Monarchs' are selfish parasites!"
His fury palpable, he continued: "They discovered war spoils need not merge into heaven itself. Instead, they hoarded resources into their personal Cave Heavens, making them eternal sanctuaries while monopolizing Fruit Positions."
"Why let heaven grow stronger if they reap no personal gain? When their mortal lifespans end, what's the point of nurturing a heaven they might lose to others?"
Lv Yang stayed silent.
Though the Sage's outrage sounded righteous, the True Monarchs' logic held merit. Golden Core Sovereigns lived mere millennia. Without Prenatal Amnesia, they could reincarnate indefinitely, but Fruit Positions offered no true immortality. Why invest in a heaven they'd eventually abandon? Better to fortify their own Cave Heavens!
Sword Pavilion's Second-Tier Technique doesn't merge Jie Tian Fruit Positions into one's main heaven—it absorbs them into the Cave Heaven itself!
Hence Golden Core mid-stage cultivators achieve non-decaying Cave Heavens!
Suddenly, the Sage leaned closer: "You ask why this concerns me?"
"Unlike them, I chose differently."
"The heavens needed a guardian to balance their greed. That guardian was me."
"They branded me a calamity because my heaven bore karmic merit. They couldn't allow another mouth at their feast."
"So they schemed, halting my cultivation at Foundation Building. Thus, even in war, I'd claim only Foundation-level spoils."
"The true treasures? Reserved for them alone."
Lv Yang understood now. How insidious!
"Chief among them?" The Sage spat. "The accursed Primordial Sacred Sect!"
He fixed Lv Yang with a piercing stare: "You're not one of them?"
"Never!" Lv Yang immediately severed ties, face open. "I'm a Sword Pavilion disciple—righteous heaven's vanguard! Why consort with demons?"
"Ah." The Sage nodded, then turned to others. This question had tested all entrants.
Ang Xiao cut ties similarly: "Once demonic, now free."
But Qingcheng Feixue laughed defiantly: "Right! I'm a Holy Sect True Monarch! What'll you do about it?"
The Sage merely sighed. "First meeting... perhaps last. Wait till you break five tribulations."
"Then we'll debate Dao together."
His form dissolved, mists clearing. Lv Yang's body plummeted, consciousness vanishing with a thunderous crash.
