"This is terrifying! Our human race has only a history of more than seven thousand years, yet there are actually immortals in this world who can live for tens of thousands of years."
"Tens of thousands of years, that's an incredibly long period of time. For him, the transformation of the world is probably just a blink of an eye."
"I never expected that the number one on the Nine Provinces Sword Immortal Ranking would be even more terrifying than Ke Haoran. He is an old immortal who has been involved in the history of the human race."
"The fact that this butcher was able to surpass Chuan Ying and become the number one sword immortal means that his cultivation level is at least at the Great Longevity Realm of the Celestial Being. Just thinking about a Great Longevity Realm Celestial Being who has lived for more than 10,000 years makes one's blood run cold."
"Didn't the Celestial Immortal say that the rules of the Haotian World forbid the existence of powerful beings at the Great Longevity Realm? How can the Butcher live for so long?"
"Please, Celestial Immortal, continue! I desperately want to know who this butcher is and how he's been able to live for so long."
In the sixth private room on the west side of the fifteenth floor.
Lei Wujie's eyes widened, and he covered his mouth, saying, "This...this world really has immortals who can live for tens of thousands of years? And an immortal who transcends the history of our human race?"
With his hands behind his back and his eyes deep, Xiao Se spoke slowly and deliberately:
"Quite interesting."
"This butcher is not just a god who has lived for more than 10,000 years."
"He is at least a master who has reached the realm of immortality."
"Perhaps our previous guess was correct."
"Before the history of humankind that we know, there is a history that we do not know."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the people in the private room all changed.
Xiao Se had mentioned this speculation several times before.
Every time he spoke, the doubts in everyone's hearts lessened.
The butcher's appearance this time made everyone even more convinced of Xiao Se's guess—
The human history we know today, starting from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, may not be the true origin.
"We'll soon find out if this guess is right or wrong."
He smiled without thinking, but his eyes were quite serious.
Lei Wujie, Tang Lian, Ji Ruofeng, and the others also looked serious as they all turned to look at Bai Yutai.
They all understood the meaning of "unintentional".
If Xiao Se's guess is true, then it means that the butcher came from an earlier civilization.
You can tell from the Celestial Immortal's evaluation of him.
Thinking of this, everyone's heartbeats quickened involuntarily, as if they were about to uncover a great secret.
In the first private room on the east side of the fifteenth floor.
Fusu stared at it for a long time, then sighed deeply and said softly, "Exceeding the history of the human race, living for more than ten thousand years, I never thought there was such a person in the world."
Zhang Han was also quite shocked.
Although people shouted "**" wherever Ying Zheng went, everyone knew it was just a saying.
Even Ying Zheng himself dared not imagine that he could live for more than 10,000 years.
But now, such a person has actually appeared in the world, and his cultivation level is frighteningly high.
Zhao Gao lowered his head and said in a sarcastic tone:
"Could it be that the entire history of our human race is wrong? Or incomplete? Otherwise, how could there be a butcher who has lived for over ten thousand years like a god?"
Chapter 89 Rules
The moon goddess walked back and forth quietly, looking at Su Chen through the curtain, and said coldly:
"For people whose lifespan is only a few decades, seven thousand years of civilization is long enough."
"So they don't think about things from even further back in time."
"But as it turns out, there are still many mysterious places in history before the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors that are worth exploring."
After she finished speaking, Fusu, Zhang Han, Zhao Gao and the others nodded and looked at Baiyutai together.
What was human history like before? What happened? Why wasn't it recorded?
Only Su Chen could answer these questions for them.
Su Chen felt the intense gazes directed at him, but he didn't bother to keep them in suspense and said directly:
"As the number one butcher on the list of sword immortals, he is naturally very powerful."
"His cultivation has reached the peak of the Celestial Longevity Realm."
"He's not like Lu Zu, who knows all kinds of methods, nor is he a genius like Ke Haoran, who can do everything."
"The Butcher is a pure demonic cultivator. In terms of seniority, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him the patriarch of the demonic sect."
"Although he only cultivated the demonic path, he mastered it to its extreme."
“Speaking solely of demonic skills, even Lu Zu, who had reached the Great Perfection, was inferior to him.”
"Something needs to be added here."
"Whether it's Buddhism, the demonic sect, Taoism, or Confucianism, the Great Perfection is not the true pinnacle."
"Above the Great Perfection, there is an even more powerful realm. Once you reach it, you can comprehend incredible and miraculous abilities."
"Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and demonism each possess different magical abilities."
"But no matter which one it is, it can defy the rules of the Haotian world."
"As I said before, the rules of the Haotian World restrict those above the Earth Immortal Realm. The higher the cultivation level, the stronger the restriction."
"But this limitation is not insurmountable."
“Apart from geniuses like Ke Haoran and Chuan Ying who don’t take it seriously, even powerful beings with miraculous abilities can not take it seriously.”
"What the butcher comprehended was the magical ability of the Demonic Sect—the Immortality of the Demonic Sect."
"To be precise, he only reached the level of near immortality, not true immortality."
Even so, he possessed inexhaustible vitality, enough to survive countless calamities.
"This is also one of the reasons why he was able to live for tens of thousands of years and survive the Eternal Night Cataclysm."
"As for his swordsmanship, it is top-notch."
"But he never really practiced swordsmanship."
"He was just seriously playing the role of 'butcher,' wielding his knife to cut meat every day for tens of thousands of years."
"If a person persists in doing this for tens of thousands of years, he will naturally be able to comprehend the highest realm of the way of the sword."
"So even though the butcher has never practiced knife skills, once he draws his knife, he can cleave even the Vajra of Buddhism, and the physique of the Celestials is as fragile as paper. No one can stand in front of him."
"This is the number one swordsman in Kyushu, Butcher!"
The Dengtian Pavilion was deathly silent.
Everyone stared wide-eyed, still absorbed in Su Chen's evaluation.
Even after Su Chen finished speaking, the shock still left them speechless for a long time.
The butcher's true strength has finally been revealed!
Just as everyone guessed, he has reached the Great Longevity Realm of Celestial Beings, and is still at his peak.
What's even more shocking is another secret that Su Chen revealed.
Lu Zu's Great Perfection is not the highest limit of the cultivation methods of Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and other schools of thought.
Above that supreme perfection lies an even more wondrous realm. Once comprehended, one can master a transcendent divine power, a power that can disregard all the rules of the Haotian World!
This event utterly shocked the entire world. Ever since Su Chen revealed that the Haotian World possessed its own rules, which suppressed all powerhouses above the Earth Immortal realm, it was like a sword hanging over the heads of cultivators, inspiring fear in everyone. After all, who wouldn't want to cultivate to the highest realm, and who would willingly remain bound by rules after reaching the Land Immortal realm?
Although Su Chen had previously mentioned that Ke Haoran and Chuan Ying could disregard the rules of Haotian, that was because they possessed extraordinary innate talent, something ordinary people could not emulate. This time, however, Su Chen spoke of a method that could be cultivated later in life, one that everyone had the opportunity to master. That method involved cultivating the four cultivation methods of Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and Demonism to a level beyond Great Perfection, thereby gaining extraordinary supernatural powers.
Take, for example, the Butcher, the number one sword immortal. He only comprehended a quasi-immortal divine power, yet he possessed boundless vitality and survived countless tribulations. This is infinitely more precious than the Phoenix bloodline.
Hearing this, everyone felt an even greater longing for the immortal. A long lifespan could indeed change everything; even something as mundane as chopping meat every day for tens of thousands of years could lead to unparalleled swordsmanship. Those swordsmen carrying long blades held the butcher in utter awe. After all, a butcher who had spent tens of thousands of years honing his skills was not only the ancestor of the demonic sect, but also the ancestor of them, the swordsmen.
After a brief silence, the hall erupted in activity as many martial arts figures began to discuss the matter.
"This is terrifying! The butcher's cultivation has actually reached the peak of the Celestial Longevity Realm, and he has even comprehended the Quasi-Immortal Realm. Who can be his opponent?"
"Did I hear that right? The Great Perfection isn't the highest realm of the major sects of Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and Demonism. There are even higher realms that can master extraordinary supernatural powers?"
"So the reason why Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and Demonism became the four major schools of thought is because they have such powerful backing!"
"No wonder the butcher could live for tens of thousands of years, completely unrestricted by the rules of Haotian. The immortal divine power of the Demonic Sect is too powerful."
"The immortal divine abilities of the Demonic Sect are truly powerful. The Butcher has only just reached the Quasi-Immortal level, yet he is already close to invincible. How terrifying must true immortality be?"
"Since Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and Demonism are all renowned, the supreme supernatural powers of the other three schools must also be very powerful. I wonder what they are specifically like?"
"To develop top-notch knife skills by chopping meat every day like a butcher at the market? I simply can't accept that!"
"This is the privilege of the immortals. With tens of thousands of years, they can reach unimaginable heights no matter what they do."
"With the peak of the Celestial Longevity Realm and unparalleled swordsmanship, I wonder who is more powerful, the Butcher or Ke Haoran?"
In the second private room on the south side of the fourteenth floor, Jian Jiuhuang said in surprise, "Butcher is too amazing. He is actually the ancestor of the Demonic Sect. His attainments in the Demonic Path are even higher than those of Lu Zu."
Li Chungang downed a mouthful of strong liquor, shook his head, and said, "The cultivation methods of the four schools of Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and Demonism actually have higher realms beyond the Great Perfection? If the Celestial Immortal hadn't revealed it, who would have thought that such a great secret was hidden in the cultivation methods of these four schools? No wonder the Taoists of Longhu Mountain are so devoted to the Taoist methods, and the monks of Liangchan Temple are so focused on cultivating Buddhism."
Chapter 90 Too strong
Nangong Pushe also fell into deep thought. The current cultivation system: the Vajra Mortal Realm corresponds to the Vajra Realm of Buddhism, the Free and Easy Realm to the Finger-Pointing Realm of Taoism, and the Carefree Heaven Realm to the Celestial Phenomenon Realm of Confucianism. On the surface, it seems all-encompassing, but in reality, it's difficult to reach the peak in any one of them. After all, a person's energy and lifespan are finite, and those who are proficient in various methods like Lü Dongbin are extremely rare. Scattered energy makes it difficult to achieve great success in any one method, and even if one barely reaches the Land-based Celestial Realm, one will be suppressed by the world's rules. In comparison, focusing on cultivating one method to a profound realm beyond Great Perfection might be the true path.
As she was thinking, Xu Fengnian's voice suddenly came to her ears: "I don't know much about martial arts cultivation, but I'm just curious, the Celestial Immortal mentioned 'Eternal Night Cataclysm' just now, right?"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the private room perked up. That's right! The Celestial Immortal had just said that the Butcher survived the Eternal Night Calamity because he possessed quasi-immortal divine abilities. However, this Eternal Night Calamity originated from the Haotian Dao Sect and had not yet truly descended.
"Could it be that there was a cataclysmic event called Eternal Night before?" Jiang Ni blinked and asked.
“There is no record of the Eternal Night Cataclysm in the ancient history of the human race,” Li Chungang said meaningfully. “If it did happen, it must have occurred before the ancient history of the human race.”
A glint flashed in Xu Fengnian's eyes, as if he had grasped something. He suddenly stood up and walked out of the private room. He stood in front of the railing on the fourteenth floor and said loudly, "I am willing to offer one hundred copies of the divine skill manual in Tingchao Pavilion and five million taels of silver as divination fees. May I ask the Celestial Mystery Immortal, when did the Eternal Night Calamity that the Butcher experienced occur, and is it related to the break in human civilization?"
