Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 1047 Beginning and End
Si Chenxing's somewhat ethereal face looked at Ning Fa with a mixture of fear and disbelief.

She smiled wryly and said, "Fellow Daoist Ning, how could I dare to lie to you when you possess such a terrifying treasure?"

Ning Fa narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you know what my treasure is?"

Si Chenxing shook his head: "I can't see that treasure, which further proves how high its grade is. I'm afraid that apart from you, the one chosen by him, no one else can see it at all."

Ning Fa felt a slight sense of relief and immediately asked, "Did you already sense the existence of my treasure as soon as I entered the Mingyuan Heavenly Pool?"
So, in the second level of Thousand Whirlpool Spirit Mountain, you deliberately arranged those three spiritual realms for me?

Si Chenxing smiled wryly and said, "Actually, I didn't know you had such a treasure at that time."

However, I can clearly sense that you possess a Primordial Realm Pearl, and this item is extremely important to me.

At this point, Si Chenxing paused slightly, then slowly said, "I'll explain the whole story to you, fellow Daoist."

"Fellow Daoist may not know what this Primordial Realm Pearl is. In fact, it is the prototype of a new realm and has the potential to give birth to a real realm."

Fellow Daoist, the fact that you were able to obtain this item shows that you are a person of great fortune. Of course, compared with your supreme treasure, it is nothing.

The interface is divided into six levels: Chaos Mustard Seed, Primordial Spirit Realm Embryo, Star Luo Law Realm, True Realm Cave Heaven, Lesser Thousand Origin Realm, and Greater Thousand Origin Realm.

However, according to the master, there is an even higher realm above this.

The original owner also obtained a Primordial Realm Pearl, and spent endless resources and years to allow the Abyss Heavenly Pool to advance step by step to its current state as a True Realm Grotto-heaven.

My master's real name is Yuanzu.

He is the Mahayana ancestor of a mysterious race in the spirit world—the Mingyuan Clan.

Moreover, even among Mahayana cultivators, the master was an absolute powerhouse, and thus it only took him a few hundred thousand years to cultivate a Primordial World Pearl to the level of a True World Grotto-heaven.

The master did this in order to cultivate a Xuan Tian spiritual treasure through the Mingyuan Heavenly Pool.

Because his master had obtained a seed of the Primordial Immortal Lotus a long time ago, he wanted to use the newly created realm of the Abyss Heavenly Pool to cultivate the seed of the Immortal Lotus and let it grow into a Mysterious Heavenly Treasure.

However, the creation of a Xuan Tian Ling Bao (Mysterious Heavenly Treasure) is extremely difficult. Even with its master's extraordinary abilities and the expenditure of countless precious resources, it could only barely be nurtured into the rudimentary form of a Xuan Tian Ling Bao.

Upon hearing this, Ning Fa's heart was stirred.

As expected, his previous guesses were mostly correct. The Ancestral Master, whom Si Chenxing referred to as the Master, was indeed a Mahayana powerhouse.

His goal was indeed to cultivate the Xuan Tian Ling Bao (a rare and powerful magical treasure), and even though he had only cultivated it to a rudimentary form, such heaven-defying methods were still awe-inspiring.

“The master was not willing to give up and made various attempts. Xuan Ling and I are the result of his attempts.”

However, although this increased the power of the rudimentary Xuan Tian Ling Bao, it was still far from breaking through to become a true Xuan Tian Ling Bao.

The owner did not give up and wanted to make one last attempt.

To this end, he ventured into a terrifying secret realm deep within the starry sky, hoping to obtain a precious item there to help this treasure advance.

But we don't know what our master encountered in that secret realm of the starry sky, because we lost our connection with him.

Even the connection between him and the Abyss Heavenly Pool was forcibly severed, and the Abyss Heavenly Pool was also thrown away to an unknown distance by the terrifying power of the stellar turbulence.

At this moment, Xuan Ling, who was the prototype spirit of this Xuan Tian Ling Bao, suddenly sensed something.

It vaguely sensed the existence of a true Xuan Tian spiritual treasure in a lower realm, namely your human realm, and that this treasure was in extremely poor condition.

This naturally delighted Xuan Ling, because if he could devour this true Xuan Tian spiritual treasure, it would be very likely to advance into a true Xuan Tian spiritual treasure.

In the Spirit Realm, those who possess true Xuan Tian spiritual treasures are invariably from super-powerful clans or among the most powerful individuals.

So even if the previous owner knew this method, he was unable to implement it at all, but now this opportunity has suddenly appeared.

Xuanling then discussed with me the idea of ​​temporarily abandoning the search for the master and instead trying to enter your human realm to seize that treasure.

In this way, as long as Xuanling can advance to a true Xuantian spiritual treasure, it should be more than enough for her to return to the upper realm or to find her master.

However, during our journey, we encountered some trouble. Some strange creatures from the starry sky wanted to invade the Abyss Heavenly Pool, and Xuan Ling had no choice but to take action and kill them.

However, the aura of his Xuan Tian Ling Bao was also leaked, attracting the attention of two nearby True Spirits.

They are a water unicorn and a nine-headed owl.

Both the nascent form of the Xuan Tian Ling Bao and the Ming Yuan Tian Chi were extremely attractive to the two true spirits, which is why they fought over them.

Xuan Ling initially feigned weakness and did not go all out.

Therefore, the two true spirits focused their attention on each other, and the two true spirits fought for more than a hundred years, and both of them were severely exhausted.

Xuan Ling finally found an opportunity and unleashed her full power, temporarily repelling the two True Spirits at the cost of severe damage to her own body. Then, she flew into the human realm with Mingyuan Tianchi.

The human realm belongs to the true Lesser Thousand Origin Realm, with a strong interface barrier that even true spirits find it difficult to enter.

However, the water unicorn had a backup plan. When Xuan Ling made his move earlier, it had secretly hidden a drop of its essence blood in the Mingyuan Heavenly Pool.

After Tianchi entered the human realm, this drop of his essence blood became his external avatar, which is Qi Hui, whom you saw before. It fought with Xuan Ling again. At this time, Xuan Ling was severely damaged by the counterattack of the two true spirits, just as you saw.

So it took him decades to slowly wear down Qi Hui, using Tianchi as his home ground.

However, as a true spirit, the Water Qilin possessed unimaginable supernatural powers. Its external avatar did not die completely, and Qi Hui transformed back into his essence blood form, hiding somewhere in the Heavenly Pool.

Given enough time, it will continue to revive.

I happened to find out about this, but I didn't tell Xuanling.

Before that, Xuan Ling recklessly drained the source power of the Mingyuan Heavenly Pool to restore himself, which made me feel a sense of crisis.

I have a feeling that he might completely devour me in the future.

So I didn't tell Xuan Ling about this. Instead, I decided to help Qi Hui recover so that he could fight against Xuan Ling.

However, I also know that since the other party is a true spirit, even if it is just an external avatar, cooperating with him is just like asking a tiger for its skin.

Therefore, I never truly trusted him, and I was even afraid that he was too powerful. So before he was resurrected, I secretly sealed most of his original body—that drop of essence blood—with the help of the Heavenly Pool.

I decided to use the Abyss Heavenly Pool to deal with Xuan Ling.

Because the Mingyuan Tianchi has a special feature.

The master spent countless efforts creating this Thousand Whirlpool Spirit Mountain, which contains numerous trial realms.

The purpose was to test the members of the Mingyuan clan behind him, and to select outstanding talents from among them.

Those who pass the trial will receive the Ancestral Mark bestowed upon them by him.

Xuanling and I were marked from birth with a deep imprint that we must never attack anyone who possesses the mark of the Ancestral Source.

Otherwise, it would directly trigger the deepest restriction of the Mingyuan Heavenly Pool, and might even lead to my annihilation. So I wanted to take advantage of this, and in the end, Xuan Ling was indeed annihilated because of it.

The reason I designed those spiritual realms for you on the second level of the Spiritual Mountain, and even gave you a drop of World Essence Marrow, is that...

The real purpose was to verify whether the fellow Daoist possessed a Primordial Realm Pearl.

This item is very important to me because I want to leave the Abyss Heavenly Pool.

After the Heavenly Pool of the Abyss entered your human realm, Xuan Ling recklessly drained the Heavenly Pool's primal power to heal his injuries.

This gradually led to the Mingyuan Heavenly Pool becoming unstable, and even showed a tendency to lose its independence.

Over a long period of time, there have been signs that it has been assimilated and swallowed up by your human realm.

By then, Xuan Ling might still be alive, but I, as the spirit of the Mingyuan Heavenly Pool, will surely be reduced to nothingness.

If the owner were still alive, perhaps the situation could be turned around, but it seems impossible now.

Therefore, the Primordial Realm Pearl, a rare and precious object capable of giving rise to a new realm, is of utmost importance to me.

I can enter it and become the spirit of this new interface, thereby gaining a new life myself.

Although this means starting all over again, and my power will become incredibly weak, it also means being filled with new possibilities.

Ling Yuqing happened to possess a Primordial Realm Pearl.

When she tried to investigate the situation at Tianchi, I immediately sensed the aura of the Primordial Realm Pearl on her body, which made me even more determined to deal with Xuanling.

So at that time, I started to formulate a plan, including later when I deliberately used some special means to enable some of the most skilled divination masters in your human world to obtain mysterious divination results.

This was to assure them that they could find hope of breaking through the shackles of this realm and ascending to the higher realm within the Heavenly Pool.

The goal was to get them to send their elite cultivators over so that these people could obtain the Ancestral Mark through trials.

Later, after you entered the Abyss Heavenly Pool, I also sensed the aura of the Primordial Realm Pearl from you.

It even feels stronger to me than Ling Yuqing's.

Therefore, I arranged for you to enter those spiritual realms on the second level, using a drop of World Essence as a test.

After learning that you do indeed possess the Primordial Bead, I hesitated about whether to let you replace Ling Yuqing.

But to my utter surprise, fellow Daoist not only possesses the Primordial Realm Pearl, but also that supreme treasure!

Actually, at that time, I could have chosen to teleport you directly out of the Abyss Heavenly Pool, but I had another idea.

Because I'm unsure how much power my master left in the Heavenly Pool, I'm also unsure whether Xuan Ling can be eliminated as a result.

Therefore, I ultimately decided to keep you as a backup option. If my plan fails, I can still use your treasure to deal with Xuan Ling.

But the power of your treasure, fellow Daoist, far exceeds my imagination; it almost swallowed up the entire Heavenly Pool..."
