Starting My Cultivation With Time Management-Chapter 886 - 26: I am the Man Who Will Save the World

Seeing that persuasion was ineffective, the Master of Xuandu quickly exchanged glances with Wan Xiang Immortal.

Wan Xiang Immortal also sighed deeply. If the spirit of Shushan is about strong competitiveness, then Penglai is entirely the opposite.

Everyone is engrossed in their own academic little world, not caring about the strength in magical competition or their ranking, simply put, there is no sense of Sect honor.

In such an environment, it is quite normal for Luo Yan to not wish to excessively promote himself for the sake of the Sect.

Thus, after the meeting, Wan Xiang Immortal called Luo Yan aside and said:

“Since you are already an elder of Penglai, there are some matters within the Sect that you need to be aware of.”

Luo Yan followed Wan Xiang Immortal to a secret chamber deep within Yuqing View.

The secret chamber was decorated like a study, only having one bookshelf, one cabinet, and a desk.

“Take this.” Wan Xiang Immortal pulled out a Jade Slip from the bookshelf and handed it to Luo Yan, saying, “You can only read it here, not take it outside.”

“Yes.” Luo Yan immersed his Divine Sense into the Jade Slip, focusing intently on reading.

The knowledge recorded in the Jade Slip was fascinating, discussing a worldview of a heavenly sphere and an earthly square: the earth is square-shaped, with the Cultivation Realm on the front and the Eastern Emperor Realm on the back. The Heavenly Dome is a spherical barrier encompassing the entire earth. Viewed from the outside, it looks like a sphere, hence it is also called “Heavenly Sphere.”

The function of the Heavenly Sphere is simple: to protect the world within the sphere from various invasions from outer worlds—about the outer world, it’s generally believed to be a chaotic world filled with the boundless waters of the Heavenly River, dotted with many floating stars, and with Demon Heads roaming like fishes in water; of course, there are countless other Heavenly Sphere worlds, floating randomly like bubbles in water.

In ancient times, the Heavenly Dome Barrier had once been shattered, leading to a massive influx of the waters of the Heavenly River causing Divine Land to tilt eastward. Countless Heavenly Demons exploited the gap and preyed extensively, treating humans like pigs and dogs.

It was only after Nuwa refined the Heaven-Mending Stone and repaired the Heavenly Dome Barrier that our world within the Heavenly Sphere was saved from bursting and perishing like a bubble.

The following is an additional note added by Wan Xiang Immortal:

“It seems now that mending the heavens was merely a temporary solution. The material of the Five-Colored Stone is inferior to that of the original Heavenly Dome Barrier. Sooner or later, it will be worn out by the waters of the heavenly river, within a few hundred years if not a thousand.”

“The predecessors from the Immortal Realm have already sent warnings, saying that just as humans have their lifespan, so does the world. The lifespan of this realm is nearly exhausted, and mending the heavens is but an attempt to forcibly extend it, ultimately it cannot solve the root problem.”

“If mortals in this realm want to escape, they can only do so by attaining the realm of Feather Transformation and Ascension before the Heavenly Dome shatters, and then, with the power of Ascension, go to the nearest Immortal Realm to escape this calamity.”

“When it was my time to ascend to immortality, I chose to stay in this world as there was no Sect Guardian Immortal to guard our sect, and I did not ascend.”

“Fortunately, Nuwa created six Heaven-Mending Stones, used five to mend the heavens and left one as a spare. She informed the later generations that if the Heavenly Dome were to break again, this spare Heaven-Mending Stone should be used for repairs, which could delay the cataclysm for at least another hundred thousand years.”

“Regrettably, that spare Heaven-Mending Stone was later lost after some mishaps. Despite searching for many years, I have only found a fragment of it.”

“To repair the rift in the heavens, a complete Heaven-Mending Stone is necessary. However, to preserve just the Penglai Immortal Island and create a small Sect-protecting Heavenly Dome, this one fragment should be more than sufficient.”

“The method of transforming the Heaven-Mending Stone into the Heavenly Dome was also recorded and passed down by Nuwa…”

There’s nothing further.

Luo Yan was shocked and horrified, his worldview shattered, and he asked Wan Xiang Immortal:

“Immortal, is what’s written here… true?”

“I wish it were false,” sighed Wan Xiang Immortal, saying, “To build a small Sect-protecting Heavenly Dome, aside from the fragment of the Heaven-Mending Stone, various heavenly materials and earthly treasures are also needed, the quantity of which is unknown.”

“In Penglai, what we have gathered so far is only about thirty percent of what is planned… So, Elder Jingyun, do you now understand why it is necessary to continue with the publicity?”

“Only if the fame of Penglai in the East Sea remains unchallenged, will the many cultivator families, sects, and factions of Divine Land be willing to continue trading with us, so that we can acquire more heavenly materials and earthly treasures to build the small Sect-protecting Heavenly Dome, and keep our sect’s teachings alive.”

At this point, Wan Xiang Immortal paused briefly, then sighed deeply:

“However, considering your talent in cultivation, you will likely achieve Feather Transformation and ascend before the great calamity arrives and leave this world… Well, there’s no need to force this upon you.”

“How can Immortal say such things?!” Luo Yan immediately reacted vehemently as if his loyalty was doubted and his righteousness offended, he said, “From the physical mortal body to becoming a Nascent Soul Cultivator, my transformation is no exaggeration, a complete rebirth, and Penglai is the family that nurtured me! How could I ignore its difficulties now?”

“If Immortal would not reject me, I am willing to undertake this heavy responsibility!”

“Good child, good child…” Wan Xiang Immortal was also moved by his sincerity and said excitedly, “You have your own path, and the sect will not force this on you. But if you have free time, you can study the method of reforging the Heavenly Dome left by Nuwa.”

“I will diligently study it!” Luo Yan received a bamboo slip passed by Wan Xiang Immortal, feeling extremely excited.
