Chapter 526: Beginning Realm

"The Demon Spirit Land is divided into Nine Commanderies. Within each Commandery, an Ancient Demon Spirit is Sealed. This Ancient Demon Spirit is naturally nurtured by the heavens and earth and possesses immense Divine Ability. Once a Cultivator achieves Fusion with it, their cultivation can drastically increase, and simultaneously, they can obtain powerful Divine Abilities. According to the memories of Luo Yun, every Ancient Demon Spirit is a rarity in the world, and after Fusion, there is a certain chance of entering a Realm called the Divine Beginning."

"The so-called Divine Beginning is an extremely marvelous Realm. Once a Cultivator enters this Realm, the speed at which they comprehend the Heavenly Dao will reach an unimaginable degree. If that were all, it would be fine, but the most attractive aspect, the one that drives all Cultivators mad, is that upon entering the Divine Beginning Realm, there is a chance to create one's own Immortal Techniques based on one's personal Concept!!!"

"It is rumored that the Immortal Techniques handed down from the Immortal Realm back then were created by powerful Divine Ability Immortals when they entered this very Realm…"

As Wang Lin flew, his eyes shone brightly. After fully grasping Luo Yun's memories, he had formed an understanding of the Demon Spirit Land.

"However, obtaining the Ancient Demon Spirit is extremely difficult. According to Luo Yun's memories, over countless millennia, although this place opens once every 5,000 years, the Cultivators who truly obtained the Ancient Demon Spirit are exceedingly few. It is rumored that throughout these countless years, fewer than ten people have genuinely acquired the Ancient Demon Spirit.

There is only one way to obtain this item, and that is through Battle Merit!

There is only one Ancient Demon Spirit in each Commandery. It is not controlled by anyone but serves as the spiritual symbol of that Commandery. This item evolves once every hundred thousand years, and if it is prematurely taken through Fusion, it requires a million years to nurture a new Ancient Demon.

The Ancient Demons in the Nine Commanderies here differ in rank. For example, the Ancient Demon within the Heavenly Demon Commandery is a newly born Ancient Demon from a million years ago, possessing the lowest rank.

Take, for example, the Ancient Demon within the Nine Extremities Commandery; since the moment of its birth, it has never been fused with any Cultivator. To this day, its powerful degree is unimaginable.

Only those with illustrious Battle Merit are qualified to worship the Ancient Demon, and only those peerless Demon Persons whose slaughter is boundless have the chance to become the Master of this item.

This Ancient Demon Spirit is extremely strange; all the native residents of the Demon Spirit Land, no matter how high their Battle Merit in this life, can only worship it and cannot achieve Fusion. Only the outsiders have the opportunity to fuse with it.

As for the reason for all this, no one knows.

Furthermore, Demonic Power is also key to fusing with this item. If the Demonic Power is insufficient, even if the opportunity for Fusion arises, it cannot be completed.

Thus, it results in a bloodbath whenever outsiders enter this place once every 5,000 years! They must kill; as long as they kill their opponent, they can devour all the Demonic Power absorbed by that person here.

Only by killing the opponent will one's competitors be reduced by one!"

Wang Lin looked thoughtful. His speed was extremely fast as he dashed toward the location of the main soul. He was like a shooting star, slicing directly across the sky and quickly disappearing in the distance.

"In Luo Yun's memories, the reason he understands this place so well is that someone from the Heavenly Ghost Dao entered here tens of thousands of years ago. Although that person did not obtain the Ancient Demon, they barely survived the Mortal danger and successfully left this place!

After returning to the Heavenly Ghost Dao, he immediately recorded his 500 years of experience here in detail. That is why Luo Yun was so knowledgeable, and now, it has benefited me!

According to Luo Yun's plan, he summarized based on his ancestor's experience that to quickly establish a foothold here, one must quickly pledge allegiance to a Commandery.

Only this way can one be qualified to obtain Battle Merit. Furthermore, and more importantly, once Battle Merit is accumulated, one won't be fighting alone but will have Demon Soldiers and Demon Generals under command. This greatly increases one's power, allowing one to seize a strong advantage in the Early Stage!

The nearest place is the Heavenly Demon Commandery. Luo Yun had previously gone to Ancient Demon City and received the Entry Token of the Left Wing Demon General of Ancient Demon City, requiring him to obtain three Jia Demonic Power to enter the residence!"

"Demonic Power here is calculated in Jia. Three Jia Demonic Power is equivalent to the total amount of spiritual power required for the Foundation Establishment Stage!"

Wang Lin's eyes flickered. He flipped his right hand, and a Demon Crystal appeared in his palm. This crystal was something from Luo Yun's Primordial Spirit Dantian. Wang Lin quickly inspected it, concluding that this item should contain two Jia Demonic Power!

"No wonder Luo Yun wanted to kill me. The Demon Crystal I absorbed in the valley, in comparison, was exactly one Jia Demonic Power. Combined, they total exactly three Jia!"

"But right now, I am the one who benefits!"

Wang Lin sneered. His speed was lightning fast. Under the perception of his Divine Sense, he had already detected that the main soul's location was not far ahead.

His body transformed into a wisp of Green Smoke and sped away. Suddenly, Wang Lin's heart stirred, and his figure forcibly materialized from the Green Smoke, his eyes reflecting deep thought.

"Wait, in Luo Yun's memory, fusing with the Ancient Demon Spirit has a certain chance of entering the Divine Beginning Realm. This Divine Beginning sounds somewhat familiar… Divine Beginning… Divine Beginning… Beginning…"

Wang Lin's body trembled, and he abruptly stopped in mid-air, completely motionless. His eyes flashed with extremely bright radiance. From a distance, Wang Lin's eyes at this moment looked like ten thousand rays of light, exceptionally bright.

"The Beginning Realm!!! Could it be the Beginning Realm?!" Wang Lin took a deep breath, the brightness in his eyes intensifying by threefold.

"Extreme, Dao, Beginning!" Wang Lin's heart pounded wildly.

After acquiring the extreme realm, Wang Lin had extensively searched for all information regarding the extreme realm. His greatest harvest was in an Immortal Cave he discovered beneath a plain in the Cultivation Devil Sea on the Vermilion Bird Star, which housed countless ancient classics. He obtained detailed records there concerning everything about the extreme realm.

While examining the extreme realm, he inevitably saw the other two Realms named alongside the extreme realm!

The Dao Realm, the Beginning Realm!

Wang Lin's eyes flickered, and he fell into deep contemplation.

"Divine Beginning… The Three Great Realms are perpetually existing spiritual power Realms, but since the extreme realm can be converted from spiritual power to Divine Sense, then the other two Realms should also be convertible. Could this Divine Beginning Realm be a manifestation of the Beginning Realm converted onto the Divine Sense…"

"If the extreme realm is likened to Death, then the Beginning Realm represents Life! If this Life is placed upon the Divine Sense, then it signifies endless vitality, or perhaps, Creation…"

"I Cultivate the Heavenly Dao of Life and Death Reincarnation. If I could combine the extreme realm and the Beginning Realm, taking the Death of the extreme realm and the Life of the Beginning Realm, could I achieve Major Achievement in the Dao of Reincarnation…" Thinking this, Wang Lin shook his head and gave a wry smile, telling himself not to fantasize, as these matters were too impractical.

He sighed softly, putting his thoughts away. Regardless of whether the Divine Beginning was what he guessed, none of it concerned him currently. Further thought was useless.

Wang Lin moved, taking a step, and instantly vanished from his original location, reappearing ten thousand miles away.

Ten thousand miles away, on a plain, the moment Wang Lin appeared, several specter-like beings immediately whistled toward him from all directions, circling and hovering around his body.

Among them, there was even a Qilin Beast, roaring as it moved.

Wang Lin swept his Divine Sense across the area, and his gaze landed on a pitch-black fissure in the ground.

This fissure was about a hundred zhang long, appearing like a ravine cut by a Flying Sword from the sky. However, due to its age, many places had already collapsed and closed, leaving only a gap of less than ten zhang still visible.

Wild grass grew rampant all around, so dense that without careful inspection, it was difficult to spot the existence of this fissure and ravine.

Wang Lin opened his mouth and inhaled. The main souls circling around his body immediately transformed into Black Smoke, one by one drilling into Wang Lin's mouth and merging into the Venerated Soul Banner within his Primordial Spirit.

After collecting the main souls, Wang Lin descended and looked coldly at the ravine from the outside.

"The Heavenly Ghost, according to Luo Yun's memory, is a Divine Ability exclusive to the Heavenly Ghost Dao. This entity is born from the Void Realm and is inherently formless. However, people of the Heavenly Ghost Dao use the River of Blood from Mortal pregnant women as a guide, the hot blood of strong men as a link, and the Primordial Spirit of a Cultivator as a summon. Only after forty-nine years can a Heavenly Ghost be drawn down, subsequently captured using a Secret Technique, and made into a Natal Ghost Spirit.

Luo Yun is a person of noble status within the Heavenly Ghost Dao. For this trip, his Master gave him the weakest of his nine Natal Ghost Spirits for self-defense. Luo Yun had only refined it for a short time, which is why the Ghost Spirit's betrayal occurred."

A cold light flashed in Wang Lin's eyes. He slashed his right hand through the Void Realm, and immediately two wisps of gray qi whistled and swam between his fingers. With a flick of his right hand, these two wisps of gray qi immediately shot out from between his fingers, heading straight for the depths of the ravine.

These two wisps of gray qi, like frenzied Dragons, rushed into the ravine, roaring and swimming around. The Heavenly Ghost had been hiding here. Due to its previous betrayal of its Master, it suffered a backlash, and since it was no longer connected by essence blood, it was extremely weak at the moment.

But this weakness was only temporary. Once it survived seven days, it could live without essence blood. Once it survived forty-nine days, it would completely regain its freedom, transform into a formless entity, and thereafter, be free to go anywhere in the vast world!

Hidden in the ravine, it suddenly opened its eyes, moved its body, and directly materialized, pouncing toward one of the gray qi wisps.

However, the instant it pounced on the gray qi, the gray qi immediately dissipated, transforming into specks of Gray Radiance and spreading out. The Heavenly Ghost was stunned and turned to retreat, but it was too late.

The scattered Gray Radiance instantly condensed, but the center point of its condensation was the Heavenly Ghost.

Almost instantly, the Heavenly Ghost's body was covered in Gray Radiance. It roared and retreated again. Just then, the other wisp of gray qi also rushed over frantically, collapsing directly in front of the Heavenly Ghost and turning into Gray Radiance.

It then condensed again, similarly using the Heavenly Ghost as the center point.

In this way, in an extremely short period, the Heavenly Ghost was covered in Gray Radiance from head to toe.
