Chapter 157 - A Sneak Peak Into Catastrophic Knowledge
[But why didn't everyone else try other Realms?] Sam asked out of sheer curiosity;
[Well, that is because it is a valuable and closely guarded knowledge that less than ten living beings know of till date…]
[Out of those ten, two are beasts… One is a plant, then the remaining eight are humans…]
[Then out of the eight humans, five took the secrets to their grave because they were scared of what everything would become once they all know the truth…]
[Then of the remaining three, two of them have left…]
[Left!?]
[Yeah, the record of their presence simply ended, and according to those who recorded their lives, they said their aura and presence simply vanished…]
[Did they die!?]
[What!? Do you think people with such level of power can still die?]
[Even the god of death would eat horse poop just to get the chance to die for people on such level of power…] Long added with a frown of incredulity as he sighed at how naïve they all were…
[The last person who knows about it, hosts a tournament for all cultivators, and the reward is the opportunity to take a glance at his mental sense which contains all his knowledge, and whatever you obtain from it is up to you…]
[Then doesn't that mean there are others who would have found out about it?]
[Imagine the entire life of a person who have lived for at least 4 million years flashing in front of your face in a second in different series of pictures, do you think you will be able to even see anything?]
Long asked and Sam nodded, if they put a movie at 1,000 times payback speed, you might not even see anyone's face, not to talk of know what the movie was all about, not to talk of 4 million times payback speed, a normal human would die instantly…
Dara on the other hand could utterly relate, because when he got the information of a single technique from Long's soul back then, he had fainted in less than five seconds and woke up with an head splitting migraine…
[But the First Bloodline Ancestor of our bloodline was able to glean a picture where that expert was reading about this exact information, and he stuck that image to his head, and that is despite it being a book of about 1,000 pages...]
[Imagine the fact that the information written in just a single page of this 1,000 pages long book actually contained such a significant information…]
[Now imagine what would happen if you actually had the entire book?]
Long asked whilst looking at Sam and Dara's faces, and he could see that they couldn't even comprehend the consequences of such a scenario;
[Alright, you can begin… Enter your mental scape and allow your Dao Tree connect to your mind…]
[How do I even do that?] [Your Dao Tree connects to everything about you, from your Body, to your Spirit and your Cultivation, thus when you cultivate, your Dao Tree also grows…]
[Once you start absorbing the Qi in this stone, the specific root on your Dao Tree that is connected to cultivation would slow down the rate at which you absorb the Qi and then it would begin to search for those link itself, but because you can it is your Dao Tree, you can control which link the root latches onto…]
Long explained as Dara shut his eyes, and before long, a multicolored spirit appeared within Dara's mental scape, and floated right in front of his Dao Tree…
The Spirit was Gold, White and Black in color;
[That is the root that is connected to your cultivation…] Long directed Dara as he approached the root and touched it, instantly his consciousness was sucked into it;
[How do I know which is the Spirit Link or Divine Link?]
[It is by their color… In the Mortal Scape, you will find brown and green empty links which is similar color to Bronze which is the Mortal Realm Link…]
[In the Spirit Scape, you will find transparent and white colored empty links, which are also similar to silver which is the Spirit Realm Link…]
[I heard about the Divine Scape which contains empty links of different shades of yellow and brown which are also similar to Gold which is the Divine Link…]
[As for the rest, I don't know anything about it which means that is as far as I lead you, the rest is up to you…] Long explained;
[But how would I know if I have picked a Link?] [Well, we are in your mindscape and once you pick the right link, this place would expand into a word of its own, with this Dao Tree of yours as the center of it all…]
[If you pick the Mortal Link, you would find vegetation and other things that can support life within this lace; from plants to bodies of water, fire source, source of breeze and the likes…]
[Then if you pick the Spirit Link, then Qi would exist in here as well as a sea of consciousness which would make this place become an island on a lake…]
[This means this entire place would become a lake with the water being your sea of consciousness, and in the middle of that sea of consciousness will be a small patch of land where this tree stands…]
[It is also one of the reasons why experts linked to the Spirit Realm recover their Qi faster than Mortal Realm experts, because Qi exists here…]
[Furthermore, the reason they are able to last longer in battle is because they can store Qi within this place and simply use it when their normal cultivation Qi has been expended…]
[Furthermore, the higher your Link is, the bigger this place becomes which means a bigger space to store Qi…]
[If you then pick the Divine Link, then you would start seeing divine bodies like constellations; stars, sun, moon and the likes…]
[But as for the God Realm, even I don't know the colors…]
[But there have been rumors that life would exist within this place, and I mean soul wisps in the form of humans, animals and other species of beings based on what you fantasize about or love...]
[After all, it is your mindscape, so you can create whatever you think of in here, and that is according to the rumors because I have never met anyone who has reached this Realm…]
[Others even claimed that once you reach a certain stage of cultivation, you could project this mindscape of yours into the physical world and it would exist…]
[But as for the Primordial Realm, no one knows, not even the expert who gave my First Bloodline Ancestor a sneak peek into catastrophic knowledge...] He added…
