Chapter 1413 - Climbing to the Heavens
Shi Lu guided Liu Wuxie to another area within the lesser realm, where a strange waterfall appeared before them. The water there condensed into a cascade of pure spiritual energy, and Shi Lu motioned for Liu Wuxie to undress and cleanse himself beneath it.
Liu Wuxie quickly removed his outer robe and walked toward the waterfall. Whenever the sect master accepted a disciple, the sect treated it as a grand occasion and refused to tolerate even the slightest mistake.
As the waterfall washed over him, Liu Wuxie felt layers of impurity gush out of his body. The spiritual energy that formed this waterfall carried powerful laws within it, capable not only of tempering his flesh but also of refining his internal organs and soul sea.
Back on the Celestial Immortal Star, his soul sea had already reached a level comparable to the ninth-level Void Realm. Now that his cultivation stood at the pinnacle of the Primal Origin Realm, his soul energy finally rose to the pinnacle of the Void Realm as well.
Even so, stepping into the Earth Immortal Realm would not be easy. He would have to build up his foundation until it overflowed, allowing his cultivation to reach the Earth Immortal Realm naturally.
The force of the waterfall struck him so hard that Liu Wuxie felt waves of numbness spread through his body. His soul sea churned restlessly as the power of fate slowly emerged, taking the form of a chain—one end stretching into boundless time and space, the other end tightly bound to his primordial spirit.
If he failed to unravel this power of fate, it would bind him for eternity.
Heavenly burial's summit and chosen by the earth—he still had no idea what those words truly meant. He had asked Han Shanzi about them in the past, but even Han Shanzi had no clear answer. The Han Clan had only managed to divine that the True Martial Continent would soon welcome a great opportunity, and that a chosen one would appear at that time. Yet their divination remained incomplete, because they had already lost much of their art.
Liu Wuxie had sought Elder Han for answers as well, but he still learned nothing definitive. Elder Han only told him that someone in the future might be able to unravel those words, and that person would be Han Feizi.
Han Shanzi's Spirit-Sealing Physique meant that he might one day master the Spirit-Sealing Art, allowing him to divine past and present and uncover Liu Wuxie's true origins.
After breaking through two levels in succession, Liu Wuxie's cultivation remained somewhat unstable; he had not had much time to consolidate. Under the tempering of the waterfall, though, he could feel his foundation stabilizing and his cultivation rising even faster than before.
He had already reached the pinnacle of the Primal Origin Realm, yet he could sense room for further growth in every aspect. His true essence, his soul energy, his physique, and even the desolate world within him were all undergoing tremendous transformations. With the nourishment of immortal energy, his true essence had even become comparable to that of a pinnacle Void Realm cultivator.
