Hiding in the light sea, Lu Yang silently sized up the small world realm before him, a trace of surprise appearing in the depths of his eyes: "It really produced a Foundation Establishment cultivator..."
Looking out, it was a patch of blood light.
Within the blood light, a young man wearing an imperial crown with one hand behind his back was raising his right hand in the void, firmly holding the falling world realm fragment in his palm.
The other party's cultivation base was not low.
Foundation Establishment Perfection. Rolling blood qi condensed into a vast divine light, striking the Ninth Heaven above and penetrating the Nine Netherworlds below. His status was almost equal to the status of the entire small world realm.
"It's my blood..."
Lu Yang raised his eyebrows slightly, sensing familiar karma from the other party. Obviously, for the other party to have such cultivation, he must have relied on his blood.
But what surprised him was that there were no divine abilities surrounding the other party, only soaring blood qi. Obviously it caused by the unique trash inheritance of the small world realm. If not for the enhancement of his blood forcibly raising the stature, the other party would probably just be Qi Refining Perfection, not even reaching Foundation Establishment.
Even if reached, the problem was huge.
"Without orthodox inheritance, and lacking innate talent, cultivators of this world obviously lack the power to raise their stature, yet forcibly assumed a powerful stature that doesn't belong to them..."
The most direct problem is shortening lifespan.
"People in this world seem to base their cultivation completely on my blood. This will shorten their lives."
"Qi Refining Perfection has at most a hundred years of lifespan. After being oppressed by the stature, it will drop to about a year, like a fleeting ephermal flower, meaningless."
While pondering, Lu Yang had already approached that world realm.
But in the next second, his heart moved: "Hmm... this place."
With a flash of magnificent light, Lu Yang distanced himself from the world realm again. A look of astonishment appeared in the depths of his eyes. Then he separated a streak of divine sense and cast it in again.
This time he saw clearly. That originally extremely agile divine sense, fluctuating every minute and second, suddenly fell into a static state after approaching that world realm... No, rather than static, it was better to say its operation speed was slowed down by nearly ten thousand times out of thin air!
Time concept...?
Lu Yang's eyes widened, totally unexpected to see such high-end stuff in a small world realm. recalling his previous actions: Just now I didn't find anything wrong.
But in reality, my speed just now should have also been slowed down by ten thousand times... But for me, all behavior and conduct were exactly the same as usual.
Incredible!
Lu Yang's eyes brightened instantly, realizing the profound wonder within: In this small world realm, one year outside can probably be used as ten thousand years!
At this moment, Lu Yang became more curious.
"When did my blood fall into this place? At most a few years... But for the people of this world, perhaps tens of thousands of years have passed!"
Possibly even more!
After all, Lu Yang wasn't sure if this time-slowing concept fluctuated. Tens of thousands of years is just a conservative estimate; hundreds of thousands of years isn't impossible!
But soon, Lu Yang reacted and shook his head: Wrong... Ultimately just a change in perceived time, not truly slowing down time. I cannot use it to extend life, nor use it to assist cultivation.
That's right, in this world realm, five hundred years can be used as five million years.
But in reality, your lifespan is still five hundred years, its just that you feel you have spent five million years. Aside from psychological comfort, it is meaningless.
Same for cultivation.
Because the cultivation speed also slows down with time. A divine ability that you can cultivate in one year outside might take ten thousand years in this world realm.
What is the point?
"If must say there is a point, it is to give those who are about to die of old age, a bit of psychological comfort and letting them spend a peaceful old age."
Thinking of this, Lu Yang couldn't help shaking his head. The originally fervent mood also cooled down. Immediately, he simply drove his divine sense, fleeing towards the direction of the world realm. Although he had no interest in the time concept shrouding the world realm itself, he was very interested in its source.
Boom!
Accompanying a sky-shaking loud noise, the young man with the imperial crown seen by Lu Yang earlier took a deep breath, completely refining the collapsed world realm fragment and collecting it into his bag.
After a long time, only then did he exhale a deep breath of turbid air: "What an Outer Heaven!"
"Even though I have attain the Imperial Position, capturing it is still so strenuous. If this Outer Heaven really fell into the mortal world, it would inevitably be another catastrophe."
Hearing these words, a young boy in Daoist robes beside the imperial crown youth stepped forward quickly and said loudly: "Congratulations Imperial Venerable. With an Outer Heaven as material this time, it is enough to open the furnace and refine a Peerless Imperial Weapon. After this, with the Imperial Weapon in hand, all Forbidden Zones will surely lie dormant, and the Imperial Venerable need not worry about turmoil anymore."
"its just maintaining stability for a while."
Hearing this, the imperial crown youth shook his head, deep worry appearing in the depths of his eyes: "So what if Imperial Venerable? Ultimately one cannot achieve longevity, let alone become a True Immortal..."
"True Immortal?"
The Daoist-robed boy shook his head upon hearing this: "Talk of Immortals has existed since ancient times, but who has seen a True Immortal? its just an illusory legends."
"You haven't attain the Imperial Venerable yet, you don't understand the profound wonder within." The imperial crown youth sighed: "True Immortal... definitely exists! Every Imperial Venerable for the past hundred thousand years knows this well. It's just that our cultivation is shallow, trapped in the mortal world, hence it difficult to see True Immortals. That's why the Forbidden Zones appeared..."
Speaking of this, the imperial crown youth was full of emotion.
In a trance, he seemed to return to the day he achieved the Imperial Venerable, blood qi soaring to the sky, ten thousand Daos harmonizing, seeing that drop of blood bead falling from the sky.
Just one drop of blood made him achieve the Imperial Venerable!
The terrifying vitality contained in that drop of blood, the imperial crown youth still couldn't forget to this day, unable to believe what kind of mighty figure the owner of that drop of blood was.
Except for [Immortal], he couldn't think of anything else.
Precisely because of this, every Imperial Venerable firmly believed in the existence of [Immortal], and exhausted their wisdom and courage for this, placing all hope on becoming an Immortal.
Thinking of this, the imperial crown youth looked up again.
He exhausted his eyesight, penetrating the world realm barrier, looking at that boundless shadow, saying secretly in his heart: If I don't become immortal... this world is doomed to perish!!
Only becoming an Immortal can save the world!
While the imperial crown youth pondered silently in his heart, the Daoist-robed boy beside him and a group of disciples below were busy, appearing extremely lively.
However, no one noticed that in the crowd, beside the imperial crown youth who should have been standing alone, a man with a kind face appeared out of thin air, standing there silently. But whether the imperial crown youth or others, all turned a blind eye to his existence.
But this is normal.
After all, as a Golden Core Perfected Lord, let alone a streak of divine sense, even a fart could blast a Foundation Establishment Perfection to death. How could he be perceived by mere lower cultivators?
"Interesting."
Lu Yang looked up at the sky, showing a look of surprise: "Just a mouthful of blood, combined with the time concept of this world, actually gave birth to such wonderful changes."
His gaze went straight into the depths of the world realm.
What met his eyes was impressively a mass of flowing fresh blood, already completely merged with the world realm. The steaming blood qi even replaced the spiritual qi of the world realm.
Mortals of this world cultivating blood qi and have short-lives.
Life is like a mayfly, only living for a day and night. But because time slows down here, in their own view, there is no problem.
Besides this, the vitality in the blood also makes their reproduction extremely easy and rapid. From another aspect, it eliminated the possibility of them being oppressed by my blood and finally becoming extinct... This world realm can still maintain such vigorous vitality to this day; simply a miracle!
The more Lu Yang thought, the more amazed he was.
Because the so-called "miracle" could be a coincidence or man-made. If not for this mouthful of his blood, what would become of this world realm in the end?
Destruction, inevitably destruction.
However, with this mouthful of his blood, this world realm not only gave birth to a powerful cultivation civilization but even drew him over due to karma connection.
The life-and-death crisis of the world realm is not worth mentioning to him.
In this way, the world realm that should have been a dead end actually found a way out out of thin air... Such karma makes it hard for Lu Yang to believe it is a pure coincidence.
"Let's look further."
Lu Yang calmed his mind. Although he was strictly smurfing in this world realm, with the lesson of the World Honored One, he still adopted a solemn attitude.
Even when smurfing, go all out!
Moreover, if there truly was a great power behind this place manipulating karma, then as long as he patiently investigated, he'd certainly gain substantial harvests here!
