Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme-Chapter 885 545: The Conference

"Demon Star!"

Xu Yang murmured, his eyes flickering, speechless for a long time.

In the Central Region, only one thing deserved the name "Demon Star."

It was the star that fell from the Nine Heavens, causing Divine Land to split into pieces and marking the end of the Primordial era.

A meteorite, falling from the Nine Heavens into the Divine Land, pierced through the Primordial core and shattered Divine Land, causing both the Upper and Lower Realm to crumble apart.

This might seem reasonable, but in reality, it was full of doubts, many aspects couldn't withstand scrutiny, and no reasonable explanation could be found.

Not to mention the origin of that meteorite itself—how could it be determined?

How could an ordinary star possess such power to shatter the land of Divine Land with one strike?

At that time in Divine Land, during the Primordial years, gods and powerful beings lived together on the land.

Xu Yang, a subsequent True Immortal, had the power to move stars and change lodgings, yet those Primordial beings with indeterminable realms of cultivation merely watched the Demon Star fall and shatter Divine Land and did nothing?

Besides, Divine Land itself was an extraordinary existence; how could it possibly be shattered by a mere ordinary meteorite?

Therefore, that meteorite was anything but ordinary!

But where did this extraordinary meteorite come from?

The Upper Realm?

The Nine Heavens?

It was all too vague and explained nothing.

The matter was full of doubts, and Xu Yang had investigated it, but whether the information that came from venues like Tianyu Pavilion or exchanges with Cultivators from the Tribulation Realm such as Yun Li, everyone was vague and deeply taboo about it.

Needless to say, behind this, there must be a shocking secret.

Thus, various conspiracies and secret histories spread unchecked.

Many Cultivators believed the fall of that Primordial Demon Star was connected to a dispute among the powers of the Upper Realm, not just any dispute, but one of desperate, life-and-death struggle over the Tao Lineage!

The Great Powers of the Upper Realm during the Primordial era!

Such beings, no one dared to speculate lightly, and as a result, details remained vague.

Perhaps only the rulers of ancient dynasties and Great Immortal Sects might know a bit of the truth.

Now that the Primordial Demon Star was entangled with this Dark Chaos, the whole matter was a tangled mess with no clear solution.

Xu Yang thought deeply for a long time, also without a clue, simply gave up, and instead asked, "With such a threat in the Lower Realm, why isn't Ascension more prevalent, so many True Immortals, all remaining in the world, not pursuing Ascension?"

In his words, a question was implied.

If it were as Su You had said, every few tens of millions of years, the land of Divine Land would suffer from Dark Chaos, a terrible cleansing, and even ancient dynasties and Great Immortal Sects faced the danger of destruction, then Ascension should be more prevalent.

After all, in this world, self-preservation is valued, and the philosophy of saving oneself even at the expense of others has always prevailed.

Perhaps there are some individuals, highly principled, true Immortals of virtue, willing to sacrifice themselves to protect the world, but such people are unlikely to become the mainstream; the "Ascension Sect" is the general choice of the majority.

Yet...

According to the information Xu Yang had gathered, those of the ancient imperial dynasties and Great Immortal Sects were also vague and deeply taboo about the matter of Ascension.

Out of options, he could only turn to Su You to seek answers, to see if the Su Clan understood the secrets behind it.

And the result...

"Who knows?"

Su You spread her hands simply, "I've even asked that old lady, and found she's also deeply taboo about this, like it's some great terror, always reluctant to discuss it directly with me."

Xu Yang: "..."

"That's why I hate these enigmatic people; can't they just lay things out clearly, must they hide everything, will telling the truth kill them!"

Su You shook her head and said solemnly, "But from what I see, the old lady might also have only partial understanding of these matters, perhaps not well-understood, hence difficult to articulate; to ask for the truth, we still need to look to those ancient imperial dynasties, Great Immortal Sects, they definitely know something!"

Having said that, she stepped forward, displaying a threatening posture as she said to Xu Yang, "Force them to their knees, and the secrets will surely spill."

Xu Yang shook his head, chuckled, and said, "As the saying goes: 'The cart will find the road round the hill when it gets there, and the boat will go straight at the bridge.' No need to rush!"

The matters of Divine Land, the secrets of Primordial era, indeed were fraught with doubts.

But still the same saying applies, all fears stem from a lack of strength!

The weak need to puzzle things out, need to verify the truth!

The strong always overpower with the momentum, single-handedly stabilizing the world.

Rather than being ensnared by insoluble problems, it's better to improve one's own strength.

With sufficient strength, any mystery, any doubt, can be swept away in one motion.

So...

"Great King is wise!"

Su You embraced him from behind, her arms wrapping around Xu Yang's neck, "So what should we do next?"

Xu Yang smiled, turned his gaze outward, "First let's watch the Tianyu Convention, join in the fun for now."

"Tianyu Convention?"

Su You blinked, then quickly recovered, and snuggled up again, elongating her tone, "What does the Great King like, Wan Er will buy for the Great King, after struggling for so many years, I do have some savings."

Xu Yang shook his head, chuckled, and said, "No need..."

"Then what does Wan Er like, the Great King will buy for Wan Er!"

Before she could finish speaking, her tone became eager, and Su You looked at Xu Yang with sparkling eyes.

Xu Yang: "..."

Thus, several more days passed.

The romance and intrigue, though it stirred up some noise, attracting attention for a while, were merely scenery within this ancient city of the Heavenly Domain, not the main focus.

The main event was still the Heavenly Domain Convention!

"Dang! Dang! Dang!"

The lingering bell sound echoed through the ancient city, bringing with it an ancient and vast aura, yet it awakened the vitality of tens of thousands of Cultivators.

"It's the bell of Tianyu Pavilion!"

"The Heavenly Domain Convention is finally starting!"

"Wonder what rare treasures will be displayed."
