Chapter 542: 175: Swallowing the Immortal Demonic Power!
[And so, a hundred years quickly passed by. However, despite the passing of a hundred years, you still weren’t able to ascend from the 1st tier Void Divine Realm to the 2nd. The difficulty in advancing through the Void Divine Realm is considerably great, and it demands much more cultivation resources.]
[Under such circumstances, the stipend you received from the elders was hardly sufficient to support your rapid cultivation.]
[If things continue in this way, you can’t even guess how much time it will take for you to advance a minor level. Although the lifespan of a cultivator in the Void Divine Realm exceeds thirty thousand years, which allows for slow and steady advancement, if possible, you would naturally prefer to elevate your cultivation as rapidly as possible.]
[Of course, the more troublesome issue is that you only have the Mortal Realm Chapter of the Burning Emperor Incinerating Scripture for cultivation. You do not have the God Realm Chapter. Hence, you could only cultivate the lower-tier divine technique you created. If this continues, not only will your cultivating speed not keep up, but your foundation will also fail to keep pace, and in the future, you’ll have to contemplate starting over.]
[However, even if this gives you a headache, there is no solution. You must continue practicing. If you don’t cultivate and merely harbor empty hopes of getting the Emperor-tier skill: God Realm Chapter, it would only be a waste of time.]
[After all, obtaining the Mortal Realm Chapter of the Burning Emperor Incinerating Scripture was largely a matter of luck. You can’t possibly be lucky all the time to suddenly acquire the higher-level Emperor Scripture: God Realm Chapter. It would be better to think about how you can obtain an abundance of cultivation resources to increase your cultivating speed.]
[Just as you contemplated how to obtain cultivation resources to rapidly elevate your cultivation, the Whiteflame Divine Sect began to summon elders for a meeting, to which you naturally attended. Soon, you understood the reason behind the Whiteflame Divine Sect’s summoning of the elders.]
[It turns out that in the Eastern Elemental Star, there is a secret realm abundant with divine sources and divine mines, which would greatly benefit the Whiteflame Divine Sect. However, this secret realm is not solely controlled by the Whiteflame Sect but jointly held by the three major forces of the Eastern Elemental Star.]
[The Three Great Forces — the Green Spirit Divine Sect, the Whiteflame Divine Sect, and the North Snow Divine Dynasty — jointly hold this secret realm’s key and open the secret realm every thousand years to mine its divine sources and divine mines.]
[It is precisely because of this secret realm that the three major forces could develop into powerful God Sects and receive fame across the entire Elemental Star.]
[It can be said that every time the secret realm is opened, it’s a significant event for the three major forces, influencing their future development. As such, each force places a great deal of importance on it and doesn’t take it lightly.]
[However, this secret realm is quite special and only allows cultivators in the Void Divine Realm or below to enter. So, the ultimate objective of this gathering is to decide which elders and disciples to dispatch for mining divine sources and divine mines within the realm.]
[Once you knew the ins and outs, your eyes lit up and you became quite excited. With your current strength, while you may not be extremely powerful, you are certainly no weakling in the Void Divine Realm.]
[If you can mine an abundance of divine sources and divine mines and manage to gain extra benefits, it would greatly benefit your future cultivation and expedite your growth.]
[However, you also remembered your previous complaint about flying immortals having to mine, leaving you with mixed feelings. Although no one forces you to mine, you felt that you’ve somehow ended up on this path nonetheless and couldn’t decide whether to laugh or cry.]
…
Just then, the text simulation paused. Various images emerged in Wang Ping’s mind, and after a brief moment of disorientation, his viewpoint shifted, placing him in the middle of a grand hall. His thoughts were filled with cultivation realizations from the past years.
Once he had composed himself, his face twitched slightly, feeling rather speechless.
Well, it looks like he has to mine after all, which was rather frustrating.
“However, the fact that I was passively drawn into the immersive simulation again means that I’ve reached another split point, doesn’t it?”
Wang Ping narrowed his eyes, reflecting on the situation, and glanced at the Whiteflame Divine Sect Master and others at the high seats in the corner of his eyes.
The master of the Whiteflame Divine Sect is a True Divine Realm Master.
To be precise, in the current Upper Realm, the leaders of most major powers are all True Divine Realm Masters.
As for those above the True Divine realm, such as the Half-step Lord and the God King Realm powerhouse, they are like the divine dragon – elusive and only showing themselves in times of great urgency.
“The split this time likely hinges on whether or not to enter the secret realm. However, as a Guest Elder, I’m highly likely to have to go. The role of a Guest Elder is to be at the forefront when battles occur or significant events take place.”
Wang Ping pondered silently in his heart.
A power like the Whiteflame Divine Sect wouldn’t support a Guest Elder without expecting something in return.
Even though you have potential, since they’re providing for you, if anything happens, you are expected to be on the frontlines.
This way, casualties amongst the members of the Divine Sect can be effectively reduced.
Mining divine sources and divine mines from the secret realm wouldn’t be possible without battles. As long as interests are involved, conflicts are inevitable – an unchanging truth.
In other words, he has to go even if he doesn’t want to, unless he doesn’t want to stay within the Whiteflame Divine Sect anymore.
And once he goes, it’s highly likely that a certain event will be triggered – he has no idea whether it’ll be a blessing or a curse.
