Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming - Chapter 2442
Chapter 2442: Chapter 845: Hunting the Venerable
As the secret of ascension was revealed by Changchun Venerable, all the Human Clan Divinity Transformation Period Cultivators fell into silence.
The Deity Transformation Stage Cultivator is already the pinnacle of cultivation in this realm, and they are the ones most likely to ascend to the Upper Realm.
However, even cultivation level is not the key to ascending to the Upper Realm now; whether one can obtain guidance from the Ascension Guide Mark is the key!
This is indeed incredibly disheartening and upsetting.
“Then Taoist Friend Changchun, what do you plan to do next?”
After an unknown period of silence, Guanghan Venerable asked Changchun Venerable in a low voice.
Upon hearing her question, Changchun Venerable smiled wryly and replied, “Venerable has said that even without a Sixth Rank Expert’s corpse, he can come out of seclusion in a hundred years. Old husband has waited for thousands of years, waiting another hundred years is nothing!”
“A hundred years is indeed not long. With Taoist Friend Changchun’s longevity, you should be able to wait.”
Guanghan Venerable nodded, forcing out a slight smile as consolation.
Afterward, they exchanged a few words and then dispersed.
And upon leaving, Tai Geng Divine Venerable, Zhou Chun, and Ye Qingxuan went together to Kunwu Peak of Yu Country.
The fact that the three walk the same path and are close is well-known among the Deity Transformation Stage Cultivators.
But this time, after the three returned to Zhou Chun’s cave abode, a Golden Core Stage Cultivator was secretly ushered into Zhou Chun’s cave abode.
This Golden Core Stage Cultivator, wrapped entirely in a black robe, did not salute upon seeing Zhou Chun and the group. Instead, he spoke in a low voice to the three, saying, “Seeing you three Taoist friends here brings me comfort, and I am very grateful for your trust.”
The voice was not unfamiliar to Zhou Chun and the others, for it was indeed Changchun Venerable’s voice!
Clearly, this Golden Core Stage Cultivator was one of Changchun Venerable’s avatars!
“Changchun Venerable, you are too polite. You transmitted your voice to summon us, we dare not be neglectful.”
Tai Geng Divine Venerable replied on behalf of the three, looking puzzled at Changchun Venerable’s avatar and asked, “But we wonder why you private summoned the three of us, what instructions do you have?”
Changchun Venerable’s avatar slowly said, “You three are outstanding figures of our Human Clan, and are all people high-minded. Moreover, you are in the prime of your lives, after thinking carefully, only you three Taoist friends are worthy of trust with this matter!”
With this remark, Zhou Chun and the others became more curious, Zhou Chun couldn’t help but ask, “What kind of major matter warrants such attention from Changchun Venerable?”
“Hunting the Venerable!!!”
Changchun Venerable’s avatar fixed his gaze on the three and slowly uttered those four words.
In an instant, the three’s expressions changed drastically, staring at him in shock, nearly suspecting they had heard wrong.
“Changchun Venerable, did you just say hunting the Venerable? We did not hear it wrong, right?!”
Tai Geng Divine Venerable bit his lip in shock and called out.
“You heard correctly, it is hunting the Venerable!”
Changchun Venerable’s avatar nodded gently, once again uttering the words “hunting the Venerable.”
“Why? Changchun Venerable, what do you mean by this?”
Zhou Chun asked in confusion, his tone full of perplexity.
Changchun Venerable’s avatar slowly explained: “I suspect that after the long slumber of the Venerable, there might be some issues with his state. After all, tens of thousands of years are extremely long even for Nihility Refining Phase Cultivators, let alone the fact that this realm’s Great Dao’s Laws have undergone some changes!”
“Not afraid to tell you, after I broke through to the Divine Transformation Late Stage, I found myself restricted by the realm’s Great Dao’s Will, unable to truly wield the power of the Divine Transformation Late Stage. Later, it was from the Venerable that I received a secret technique, allowing me, by paying some price, to forcibly unleash my power for a period.”
“And over the years, I have researched the classics, and also confirmed through interactions with that [Beiming Xuan Kun] that such conditions did not exist in the Ancient Times, or occurred only for those with higher cultivation!”
“From this, it can be discerned that nowadays, the Great Dao’s Laws of this realm have undergone substantial changes compared to the Ancient Times. For beings like the Venerable who have slumbered from the Ancient Times to now, being former Nihility Refining Phase Cultivators, being restricted by this realm’s Great Dao’s Laws would undoubtedly be more profound!”
“So, his collection of Sixth Rank Expert’s corpses might not be for gathering the Daoist Physical Body, but for analyzing and comprehending the Great Dao’s Laws within them to find a way to resolve his own dilemma!”
At this point, Changchun Venerable’s avatar raised his hand, first suppressing the urge for Zhou Chun and others to speak.
“Three Taoist friends, do not be hasty, listen to me carefully.”
Then continued: “If the Venerable is truly as I said, trapped due to the changes in this realm’s Great Dao’s Laws, and needing other samples for reference to find a resolution, then we Human Clan Divinity Transformation Period Cultivators will all become his potential prey!”
“This is absolutely not alarmist, but something that might certainly happen!”
“Think carefully, for a mighty being like Venerable who descended from the Upper Realm, would he really care about the lives of us natives of this realm? He plans to ascend back to the Upper Realm, even if he wipes out all lives in this realm, there would be no one in the Upper Realm to punish him for his evildoings!”
“In his eyes, after all, us cultivators in this realm have no hope of ascending, and are bound to die naturally, so why not become nourishment for his return to the Upper Realm!”
