Chapter 214: Entrusted with Great Hope!
Since Immortal Crystals were required to break through to the Immortal Realm, that also meant that under the revival of the Power of Laws, Immortal Crystal mines would eventually appear in the Canglan Realm as well.
The only function of Immortal Crystals was to help cultivators break through to the Immortal Realm, so even in the Immortal Worlds, this was not some especially rare resource.
Su Ming turned his gaze back to the Simulator.
【Before Chen Shu left, she told you and Xuanyuan Tianji that you could cultivate in the Hope Zone without worry.】
【After Chen Shu left, you asked Xuanyuan Tianji whether there was any other way to break through to the Immortal Realm without Immortal Crystals.】
【Xuanyuan Tianji shook her head and said that Immortal Crystals were the only way.】
【Xuanyuan Tianji told you that Immortal Crystals were not rare items. They might even be discovered in the Lower Realm.】
【“So once the Eldritch Race controls the Immortal Crystal veins, it is the same as controlling the human race’s lifeline of cultivation.”】
【After learning about the situation in the Qingxuan Realm, you discovered that in a certain sense, the cultivation prospects of the Qingxuan Realm were comparable to those of the Canglan Realm.】
【The Canglan Realm used curses to suppress rogue cultivators from hiding their strength, while the Qingxuan Realm used Immortal Crystals to suppress the human race.】
【The third year!】
【Your lives in the Hope Zone settled into a stable rhythm, and nothing major happened during this period.】
【Once you saw that life had stabilized, you told Xuanyuan Tianji that you were going to enter secluded cultivation. It could be as short as three years or as long as five.】
【You told Xuanyuan Tianji that during this period, if Chen Shu came looking for you, everything should be left for her to handle.】
【Xuanyuan Tianji readily agreed.】
【You entered your room, set up a Barrier, and began cultivating.】
【And the reason you intended to remain in seclusion for so long was to completely refine that drop of Taixu Ancient Dragon Blood Essence.】
【You knew that breaking through to the Immortal Realm in the Qingxuan Realm would be extremely difficult. If, in the end, you could not obtain Immortal Crystals, then you planned to use your Divine Power to leave the Qingxuan Realm directly.】
【And if you wanted to leave the Qingxuan Realm, that drop of Taixu Ancient Dragon Blood Essence was the most crucial piece.】
【Three years later!】
【The sixth year!】
【You slowly opened your eyes, exhaled a breath of turbid air, and awoke from seclusion.】
【Three years of time had allowed you to completely refine that drop of Taixu Ancient Dragon Blood Essence, and from it, you obtained the Divine Power—Taixu Dragon Traversal.】
【Moreover, after refining that drop of blood essence, your cultivation had also advanced further.】
【After coming out of seclusion, you received a piece of good news: during your seclusion, your External Incarnation had broken through to the First Tribulation Realm.】
【What surprised you even more was that when your External Incarnation underwent tribulation, the Chaos Lightning Tribulation it triggered caused a huge sensation throughout the Hope Zone. Some people even called you the last hope of the human race.】
【During this period, some experts of the Middle Three Realms even came to spar with your External Incarnation, yet not one of them was able to gain any advantage against it.】
【After seeing how powerful your External Incarnation was, the people of the Hope Zone became even more convinced that you were the hope of the human race.】
【Because of this, the entire Hope Zone nurtured your External Incarnation as though it were a treasure. There was even a Heavenly Venerable who declared that in the future, he would risk his life to obtain an Immortal Crystal for you so that you could successfully break through to the Immortal Realm.】
【After learning all of this from Xuanyuan Tianji, you deeply felt how united the people of Chen Shu’s Hope Zone were.】
【In an instant, a surge of hot blood filled your entire body.】
【You discovered that whether in the Canglan Realm or the Qingxuan Realm, there were always those who would resist at all costs for the future of the human race, and there were also selfish traitors.】
【It was just that you still did not know who the traitors among the humans of the Qingxuan Realm were. After all, you had only stayed in Chen Shu’s Hope Zone and had never gone anywhere else.】
【After coming out of seclusion, there was another matter that surprised you: Xuanyuan Tianji’s cultivation had actually recovered to the Mahayana Realm.】
【That speed was completely incomparable to what it had been in the Canglan Realm.】
【Seeing this, you instinctively asked Xuanyuan Tianji what realm she had been at before being sealed.】
【In response to your question, Xuanyuan Tianji told you that before she was sealed, she had been at the Heavenly Immortal Realm.】
【After learning that Xuanyuan Tianji had only been at the Heavenly Immortal Realm, a trace of disappointment appeared on your face.】
【You had originally thought that before being sealed, Xuanyuan Tianji might have been someone at the level of an Immortal Sovereign or Immortal King. That way, you could have looked forward to her recovery and had her help you seize Immortal Crystals.】
【When Xuanyuan Tianji saw the expression on your face, she instantly understood what you were thinking.】
【Xuanyuan Tianji let out an arrogant snort.】
【“You do not actually think the Heavenly Immortal Realm is weak, do you?”】
【“Let me tell you, I had only just come of age before I was sealed. If I had been given a little more time, I definitely would have...”】
【Before Xuanyuan Tianji could finish, she got so angry that she turned her head away.】
【Hearing that, you were inwardly a little shocked.】
【From her words, you learned that Xuanyuan Tianji had already reached the Heavenly Immortal Realm at the age of eighteen. What kind of talent was that? It could no longer be described merely as monstrous.】
【At that thought, you put on an awkward smile and began saying all kinds of pleasant things, coaxing Xuanyuan Tianji for quite a while.】
【Only after a long time did Xuanyuan Tianji calm down and continue telling you what had happened over the past three years.】
【The eighth year!】
【On this day, Chen Shu came to find you and told you a piece of news.】
【“The higher-ups of the Hope Zone have decided to find an Immortal Crystal for Su Chen!”】
【You knew that Su Chen was the name your External Incarnation used in public.】
【You had not expected the Hope Zone to regard your External Incarnation so highly.】
【You looked at Chen Shu and scratched your head awkwardly.】
【You told Chen Shu that Su Chen was actually your External Incarnation, and that it was impossible for him to break through to the Immortal Realm.】
【“What?”】
【After hearing that, Chen Shu stood up in shock and stared at you.】
【As for Su Chen, whose appearance somewhat resembled yours, Chen Shu had never imagined that he was your External Incarnation. She had always assumed that he was someone from your family.】
【Back when you first arrived at the Hope Zone and released your External Incarnation from the Void Domain, you had only told Chen Shu that he was your friend.】
【After recovering from her shock, Chen Shu asked why your External Incarnation could not break through to the Immortal Realm.】
【In Chen Shu’s eyes, even if Su Chen was your External Incarnation, his talent was already unmatched within the Hope Zone.】
【And now, after learning that Su Chen was your External Incarnation, Chen Shu knew that your talent would naturally not be any lower than that of your incarnation.】
【For the entire human race of the Hope Zone, this news was good news. It meant that both of you were the hope of the human race. With one more person, there was one more share of hope.】
【Hearing that, you told Chen Shu that you cultivated a special technique. When you underwent tribulation at the Second Tribulation Realm, your External Incarnation would have to merge back into your true body.】
【At that, a ripple passed through Xuanyuan Tianji’s eyes.】
【She knew very well that you had truly and completely embarked on the path of forging an Immortal-Demon Body.】
