Chapter 442 Immortal Dawn Sword Mark Left on the Beast Skin
In the Grotto-Heaven Dao Palace.
Cui Heng stared at the pitch-black smoke surging in his palm and frowned.
He realized that he was actually unable to see through the essence of this energy. He could only feel chaos, mania, and a few pure violent auras from it.
This aura was like the darkest and dirtiest power in the universe, symbolizing extreme negative emotions. Even a Soul Formation cultivator’s divine sense could not see through it.
“If I’m not wrong, this should be the remnant aura of a ferocious beast.” Cui Heng thought to himself, “With my current cultivation realm, I can’t even see through its appearance. This is at least equivalent to the Peak Soul Formation realm or even the Return to Void realm.”
Although there was an extremely huge difference between every small realm of the Soul Formation realm, they were still in the same major realm after all. There were always some characteristics that were interconnected.
Only after reaching the Peak of the Soul Formation realm and starting to advance to the next realm would there be characteristics that were completely above the Soul Formation realm.
Therefore, to the current Cui Heng, as long as the essence of the energy had not reached the Peak of the Soul Formation realm, he could more or less see through some mysteries. It would not be like now, where he could not even see through the surface. “The ferocious beasts are indeed extremely terrifying.” Cui Heng could not help but exclaim to himself, “These ferocious beasts of the Heaven Realm are not strong. Those three huge beasts should be equivalent to Sage Kings at most, but their blood contains such a high-level aura.
This should be the bloodline power left behind by their ferocious beast ancestors. However, because it has been passed down for too long, the bloodline has become extremely thin. I can only barely gather this power with the methods of the Soul Formation realm.
Ferocious beasts remnants. Since there are remnants of ferocious beasts in the Heaven Realm, does that mean that true ferocious beasts have appeared in the Heaven Realm before? Or do these ferocious beasts remnants have other sources of origin?
Since the ferocious beasts already exist, does that mean that I’m about to reach the level of coming into contact with things related to Immortal Kings? It’s too dangerous…”
Thinking of this, Cui Heng shook his head and thought to himself, “It’s not appropriate to explore the situation of the ferocious beasts in a hurry. I have to increase my cultivation realm first.
Although existences below the Dao Integration realm can’t kill me or imprison me, I can’t let my guard down just because of this.
Only when my cultivation realm increases and my strength becomes stronger will it be safer and smoother when exploring these unknown things. Only then will I obtain more clues.
My main goal next is to understand the information about the Heaven Realm and establish a deeper connection with it to increase my realm and cultivation. At the same time, I’ll find Qiqi’s whereabouts.” Thinking of this, he left the Grotto-Heaven Dao Palace with the pitch-black aura and casually crushed it, causing it to dissipate into the world.
Although this aura was extremely high-level and mysterious, its strength was very ordinary and could be easily erased.
“I’ll go to Qingshu’s place to take a look.”
….
Pei Qingshu came to the Linshan Tribe as a Heavenly God.
He was naturally extremely respected. Especially after knowing that he had bestowed the corpses of the Ferocious Plains Rhinoceros and the Green-feathered Thunderclaw Eagle, the people of the tribe respected him even more.
The priests and Patriarchs of the tribe came out to personally welcome him and served their precious wine and delicacies to entertain Pei Qingshu.
They even specially called over two fair-skinned and beautiful girls to serve Pei Qingshu.
However, he rejected them.
Pei Qingshu had a high status in the Linshan Tribe, and the people here were extremely simple. They did not have many tricks up their sleeves, so it was naturally extremely easy for him to obtain information.
He quickly figured out the cultivation system of these tribes and the general situation of this wasteland.
Just as he had seen earlier, the cultivation path of these tribes was very different from the Martial Dao. It could even be said to be completely different.
Due to the special environment of the Heaven Realm, the Heaven Earth Origin Qi was extremely dense, and the laws were also contained in ordinary air, grass, and trees. Therefore, as long as one lived to adulthood, even the most ordinary person could have a physical strength comparable to a Heaven Immortal. The best among them could even compare to a Heaven Monarch.
It was precisely because of this that the cultivation path of the Heaven Realm did not have a Mortal Realm at all. It directly started from the Third Realm of the Immortal World, but the cultivation method was similar to the 12 Realms of the Mortal Realm of the Martial Dao.
Body Refinement, Blood Transformation, Treasure Body, Shaman Marking, Dao Imprint, Divine Body.
There were only these six realms.
Through a more detailed understanding, Pei Qingshu roughly deduced the comparison between these realms and the Martial Dao realm.
Body tempering was to temper the body on the basis of an ordinary adult, thereby obtaining even stronger strength. It was almost equivalent to the true peak of the Third Realm of the Immortal World, surpassing the Heaven Monarch Realm.
After one’s body was strong enough, they could rely on their control over their body to guide the Heaven Earth Origin Qi into their body to sublimate the blood in their entire body, allowing their blood to contain the laws of the world. It was equivalent to the Fourth Realm of the Immortal World.
For people of the Heaven Realm at this level, as long as they completed the blood transformation, their strength was comparable to a Taiyi Mystic Deity at the Mystic Dharma Body Realm. If they had been bathed in treasure blood when they were young, they could even awaken powerful abilities related to the treasure blood.
On the basis of exchanging blood, the Treasure Body realm was to allow the sublimated blood in the body to nourish the body, allowing every bit of flesh and blood in the body to be strengthened.
In the end, the entire body would become incomparably firm and possess the ability to regrow broken limbs.
This was similar to the Fifth Realm of the Immortal World. Compared to Golden Immortals who had cultivated an Indestructible Golden Body, they were slightly weaker in terms of undying characteristics, but they were more violent in terms of strength.
After cultivating the Treasure Body, one could engrave special shamanic patterns on their body, which was the kind of tattoos on Wu Cheng and Liang You. Every shamanic pattern had a special power and was very strong.
However, the shaman patterns carved at the beginning could not be manifested. They could only increase the various abilities of the Treasure Body. Therefore, this realm was weaker than a Sage at the Sixth Realm of the Immortal World at the beginning.
However, after the Shaman Marking could manifest the outline of a phantom, it would possess power comparable to a Sage. After condensing the outline of the phantom into a physical form, it would possess power comparable to a Sage King.
This was also the highest realm of the Linshan Tribe’s inheritance. Beyond that, there was only some superficial information.
The Dao Imprint realm was reached by engraving some kind of Great Dao laws in the world on one’s Shaman Markings. Then, one could use their body to completely refine the Shaman Markings engraved with the Great Dao laws and form a Divine Body.
After cultivating a divine body, one was a god.
And the normal state of a Divine Body was more than 1,000 feet tall, also known as a 1,000-foot Divine Body.
This was also one of the reasons why Wu Cheng and Liang You treated Pei Qingshu as a
god.
As there was too little information about these two realms, it was impossible to determine their specific characteristics, and it was difficult for Pei Qingshu to compare them.
He could only refer to himself and barely draw the conclusion that the Dao Imprint realm might be equivalent to the Seventh Realm Creator or even the Dao Lord realm.
The Divine Body realm might be equivalent to the Dao Lord realm, or it might have reached a realm similar to the Eighth Realm of the Immortal World.
According to the tribal priest, gods were already the top experts in a large region.
And existences of this level could be counted on one hand in the entire region.
Of course, there were realms above the gods, but it was not something a small priest of the Wasteland Tribe like him could understand.
He had only heard some information before. It was said that existences above the Divine Body realm were respected as “Heavenly Gods”.
This was a secret that only the priests knew.
Most of the ordinary tribesmen did not understand the difference between gods and Heavenly Gods and often mixed them together.
And the so-called large regions were actually a geographical concept of the Heaven Realm.
According to what Pei Qingshu understood, the range of a large region was extremely vast.
Now, the place he was at was called the Green Stone Wasteland. It was a barren land with a radius of more than a million kilometers. Countless huge beasts roamed the land, countless mountains stretched on, countless tribes stood tall, and there were also two major countries.
The Green Stone Wasteland was only a small place in the northwest corner of the Qinghua Domain. The entire Qinghua Domain had hundreds of territories the size of the Green Stone Wasteland.
However, the Qinghua Domain was only a part of Qingtian Region.
There were 72 such domains in the entire Qingtian Region.
According to the rumors, there were over 9,000 Regions similar to the size of the Qingtian Region. There was also a boundless land outside the 9,000 Regions that was shrouded in mystery.
It was too vast!
The vastness of the Heaven Realm completely exceeded Pei Qingshu’s understanding.
He had also followed Cui Heng to the Heavenly Domain in the Lower World and had considerable knowledge. However, even the incomparably vast Heavenly Domain was far inferior to this Heaven Realm.
Under the night sky, the moonlight was bright.
Pei Qingshu sat under a big tree in the tribe and fell into deep thought. He thought to himself, “In such a vast world, how many unknown experts are there? Moreover, where did the former Heaven Gate experts go?
This Heaven Realm is too unfathomable.”
Just thinking about it made his scalp tingle.
This was an instinctive feeling of how small he was.
“Lord God.” At this moment, the priest of the Linshan Tribe suddenly came over in the night. After bowing respectfully, he asked, “I have a presumptuous request. I wonder if I should say it.”
“Priest, please speak.” Pei Qingshu nodded.
“I want to beg the Lord God to protect our Linshan Tribe when the future calamity descends.” The priest suddenly knelt on the ground and said extremely sincerely, “As a repayment, I’m willing to offer you a beast skin that records the sword mark of a Heavenly God.”
As he spoke, he took out an old animal skin from his pocket. The beast fur on it had long dried up, and the other side had become wrinkled.
In the middle of the wrinkled hide was an ordinary-looking sword mark.
However, the moment Pei Qingshu saw the sword mark, he actually felt dizzy. He felt that billions of colorful lights had appeared in front of his eyes and occupied all his senses.
Pei Qingshu, who had already cultivated the Heavenly Dao Dharma Body, was instantly suppressed just by taking a look at the sword mark
At this moment, Cui Heng had already arrived in the sky above the Linshan Tribe.
He instantly felt the sword mark on the hide and the powerful sword intent contained in it.
