Borrowing a sword

Chapter 354 [Night Lord]

Chu Huaixu was unaware that his ability to create "daylight and darkness" was not limited to this small patch of black sea.

To be precise, it was through this small world that was separated from the Kunlun Cave Heaven that the entire Kunlun Cave Heaven Realm was directly affected!
Inside the grotto-heaven, it was still noon.

The sky suddenly turned dark.

Whether they were disciples of the Kunlun Holy Sect or disciples of other large and small cultivation sects, they couldn't help but look up at the sky.

The sudden celestial phenomenon startled everyone in the Kunlun Cave Heaven.

Most of the Qi Refining stage cultivators who were being used as talent showed expressions of shock.

I was shocked and a little confused.

"Why did it suddenly get dark?"

"What's happening here?"

"Huh! I've been cultivating for over ten years, and this is the first time I've encountered something like this."

"Could it be that the sun has been eaten by a celestial dog?"

"Are you stupid? A solar eclipse can't happen that fast!"

"Yeah, what kind of dog is that that can eat the sun in one bite?"

If Chu Huaixu could hear these conversations, his feelings would probably be somewhat complicated.

As for the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators, who are considered high-level talents, they all frowned.

Once you reach their level, you won't be so naive.

"Could this be the appearance of some extraordinary celestial treasure?"

"Or is it some Nascent Soul Immortal Venerable who is casting a spell?"

These people are at least 100 years old.

Even cultivators at the Golden Core stage have mostly never seen a Divine Transformation Immortal Venerable make a move.

But they had witnessed the methods of a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

Therefore, in the minds of these people, if there is a phenomenon that even a powerful Nascent Soul True Monarch cannot achieve, they will instinctively attribute it to a Divine Transformation Immortal Venerable.

As for just how powerful the Immortal Venerable Transformation Realm is, that depends on the limits of their imagination.

Within the Kunlun Cave Heaven, there are countless legends about the Nascent Soul stage.

Whether these legends are true or false, cultivators at the Golden Core stage might know a thing or two, but those at the Foundation Establishment stage, being of superior talent, probably know very little.

However, once one's cultivation reaches the Nascent Soul stage, a qualitative change occurs.

Below the Nascent Soul stage, all are but ants!

What can an ant possibly glean from the sky?
Throughout the entire Kunlun Cave Heaven, the number of Nascent Soul True Monarchs is extremely rare.

As long as these people don't kill each other, they can basically live forever by possessing other people's bodies.

In fact, these so-called Nascent Soul True Monarchs knew in their hearts: "So-called eternal existence is not immortality."

Even if one manages to live another life after their lifespan is about to end through possession, it will eventually come to an end.

The reason is simple: they are right that it will last forever.

But this world, too, has an end.

Only when one reaches the Nascent Soul stage can one know that the so-called Kunlun Grotto-heaven is merely a [Grotto-heaven realm], which is a minor world.

It is still different from the real world.

Cultivators are inherently defying the heavens, and their existence is one of plundering the world.

These Nascent Soul True Monarchs, who have existed in this world for ages, are essentially lying on this earth, continuously sucking blood.

When the Cave Heaven Realm collapses, that will be the time of their demise.

Once one reaches the Nascent Soul True Monarch level, one naturally becomes aware of the existence of the Xuanhuang Realm.

For them, invading the Xuanhuang Realm was of utmost importance.

Although Kunlun Grotto-heaven is not far from the collapse of heaven and earth.

But at least it can last for a hundred years.

For a Celestial Being who has transformed into a god, several hundred years is but a fleeting moment.

For a Nascent Soul True Monarch, perhaps it is not even enough time for a lifetime.

But there is still time to plan slowly.

However, the Cave Heaven Realm is simply "too small".

The number of Nascent Soul stages that can be produced in a small world is limited.

The positions in this world have all been occupied. If they want to advance further, there is only one path they can take!
—Invading the Primordial Chaos!
By forcibly merging this realm with the Xuanhuang Realm, a new fruition will be born!
There is no other way.

Moreover, within the Xuanhuang Realm, there are still lost positions!
Because some positions within the Kunlun Cave Heaven were lost, a large part of the Heavenly Dao's rules and power was missing, which accelerated the collapse of this realm and caused the loss of its fortune.

If things continue at a normal pace, this grotto-heaven realm could last for at least another thousand years, and everything can still be planned slowly.

At this moment, inside the Kunlun Sacred Sect, two Nascent Soul True Monarchs were sitting facing each other, drinking tea.

Both of them were disciples of the white-haired boy.

The two were a man and a woman. The man was called Lingxiao Zhenjun, and the woman was called Chixi Zhenjun.

The entire Kunlun Cave Heaven was plunged into darkness in an instant, and they couldn't help but look up at the sky.

The sun that was originally in the sky has disappeared.

—Covering the Sky.

—It blocked out the sun.

The two True Lords' faces showed endless horror.

Even a powerful Nascent Soul cultivator like Chi Xi Zhenjun was so surprised that he stood up from the stone bench.

Lingxiao Zhenjun couldn't help but slowly get up and look up at the sky.

Then, the two looked at each other.

Even Chi Xi Zhenjun's pupils trembled slightly.

"The Divine Immortal!" Her voice trembled slightly, her tone filled with disbelief.

Lingxiao Zhenjun fell into a long silence. "Senior Brother, do you know something?" the woman asked upon seeing this.

As the junior sister, she hadn't spent nearly as much time with her master as the senior brother.

There are some things that Master will tell his eldest brother, but he may not necessarily tell her.

After hesitating for a moment, Lingxiao Zhenjun said, "This matter should not be known to you, but since such an anomaly has occurred, I estimate that Master and Uncle will soon inform all Zhenjuns."

"Junior sister, do you know what kind of authority this is?"

True Lord Chixi immediately pretended to listen attentively and said, "Junior Sister does not know, I hope Senior Brother will tell you."

"This is the authority of the eternal night of the moon!"

"It's the power of the [Nascent Soul Stage]!"

"The one who attains this position is called by Master—[Night Immortal Venerable]!"

Upon hearing this, True Monarch Chi Xi was immediately taken aback.

"Senior brother, this Night Lord..." She paused for a moment, looking around, seemingly not daring to speak of it casually.

After glancing at her senior brother's eyes, she felt relieved and asked, "Senior brother, who is this Lord Night Venerable?"

"Why have I never heard my master mention this?"

"Over the years, I have never had the honor of seeing the true face of the Night Lord."

Lingxiao Zhenjun immediately replied, "Junior Sister, you are unaware of this."

“You cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage a thousand years ago.”

"He is the last Nascent Soul True Monarch in Kunlun Grotto Heaven to date."

Do you know why?

True Lord Chi Xi: "Junior Sister is unaware; I hope Senior Brother can enlighten her."

"At that time, you were still in the Golden Core stage and were in seclusion."

Lingxiao Zhenjun, who was usually calm, trembled slightly when he spoke of this matter:
"Someone...someone came from beyond the boundary and killed Night Lord!"

With just a few words, fear instantly filled Chi Xi Zhenjun's pretty face.

"What!?"

"Senior Brother, are you saying that there was an enemy from beyond the boundary who killed a Nascent Soul Immortal within the territory of my Kunlun Grotto-Heaven?"

"Impossible! Senior Brother, this is absolutely impossible!"

"A Celestial Venerable who has attained a divine status and merged with the Dao, how could he possibly die and have his Dao extinguished!"

"If a Nascent Soul cultivator dies, wouldn't that cause the collapse of the Heavenly Dao within my Kunlun Cave Heaven!" True Monarch Chi Xi's tone rose several decibels.

This was completely beyond her comprehension.

Lingxiao Zhenjun's dark eyes stared fixedly into hers, and then he spoke, word by word:
"Junior Sister, if the Heavenly Dao had not collapsed, how could you be the last Nascent Soul True Monarch in this vast Kunlun Cave Heaven!"

"How could it be that in this long period of thousands of years, no one has attained the Nascent Soul stage!"

"Junior sister, you don't actually think you're a genius, unparalleled in the world, do you?"

These two sentences struck Chi Xi Zhenjun's heart like a heavy blow.

"Is it because the Heavenly Dao of Kunlun Grotto-heaven has collapsed?" True Monarch Chixi felt somewhat dazed.

And I became the lucky one in the end?
Lingxiao Zhenjun nodded and continued, "With the collapse of the Heavenly Dao, it is now as difficult as ascending to heaven to comprehend the Nascent Soul realm, ten or even a hundred times more difficult than before!"

"Master has been planning the matter of the Origin Spirit Realm for a thousand years."

"Although there are not many Nascent Soul True Monarchs who have gone to the fifth level of the Origin Spirit Realm, and they have won more often than they have lost, several of them have died in the past thousand years."

"Last year, Ye Kongxuan entered with a possessed body, and he died too, didn't he?"

"Under such circumstances, the Immortal Venerables who have transformed into Divine Realm beings would tacitly allow the birth of a few more Nascent Soul cultivators in the world."

"Perhaps even someone with the personalities of Master and Uncle might secretly push things along, like how they helped you, Junior Sister, achieve your goals a thousand years ago!"

He stared into Chi Xi Zhenjun's eyes as he spoke.

This left the woman completely stunned.

There's no way around it, there's just too much information.

With the death of the Immortal Venerable, the Heavenly Dao collapsed!
How could someone outside the realm possibly do this!
But she reacted quickly.

"Senior Brother, look at this scene right now, isn't it possible that someone has attained the Nascent Soul stage of Night Venerable!"

Lingxiao Zhenjun nodded and said, "That's natural."

He looked up at the sky.

If someone had not attained the Nascent Soul stage, obtained the power of the Heavenly Dao stage, controlled a portion of the Heavenly Dao rules, and possessed some supreme authority, how could they possibly have achieved such a level?
A single thought can turn to night, and an instant can obscure the sun.

Such supreme power can only be achieved by attaining the status of [Night Lord]!

Junior Sister Chi Xi Zhenjun only reached the Nascent Soul stage a mere thousand years ago.

They are far inferior to those who have been stuck at the Nascent Soul stage for thousands of years.

Even so, her eyes revealed endless longing and envy.

Only then did True Monarch Chixi speak:
"I wonder which Nascent Soul True Lord has such extraordinary fortune to attain the Night Venerable position and achieve the power of the Eternal Night of the Taiyin."

She was filled with emotion.

Unfortunately, every position is filled by a specific person.

If someone else takes it, then it's over forever.

Unless the Nascent Soul cultivator dies!

This is one of the reasons why other Nascent Soul True Monarchs do not tell others about this matter.

The more people you know, the more competitors you'll have to compete for your spot!
However, her senior brother's next words struck her like a thunderbolt.

"It wasn't any Nascent Soul True Monarch who attained enlightenment!"

"Because the position of enlightenment is not located in the Kunlun Grotto Heaven at all."

"After that person killed Night Venerable, I don't know what methods he used, but he managed to bring his fruit position back to the Xuanhuang Realm!"
