This was a devastating blow to Nascent Soul cultivators who could have traveled to the Spirit Realm via teleportation array to continue their pursuit of immortality. Moreover, these Nascent Soul cultivators, remaining in this plane, could not easily make a move.
Because a Nascent Soul cultivator can communicate with heaven and earth and use the power of heaven and earth to cast powerful spells, which consumes the already limited source of the Heavenly Dao. Each time the power of the Nascent Soul realm is used, it will cause some damage to the plane.
The more you use it, the harder it will be to advance to the Nascent Soul stage, and the entire plane may even become a dead end. As more and more Nascent Soul experts remain in this plane, it's hard to guarantee that one or two psychologically twisted freaks won't appear and drag the entire plane down with them.
Or perhaps they cling to a sliver of hope, desperately attempting to break through the dimensional barrier and escape the perilous place. Heh heh, how many people can truly remain at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage and peacefully die of old age without striving for a breakthrough?
Xiang Yu suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. What if I had a way to send those who have advanced to the Nascent Soul stage to other planes? Could that resolve this crisis?"
Yuehua Long gasped, "This is impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"Unless, you are the one who stole the teleportation array!"
Chapter 462 God
Xiang Yu raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself, "You're right, but..."
"The method I'm referring to isn't using a teleportation array, but rather a portal to a different time and space, though it requires a large amount of spirit stones to open."
"After the teleportation array is built, it will also require a lot of spirit stones to teleport. But I don't understand, where did your spacetime gate come from? After all, you don't even know about the Nascent Soul Realm." Yuehualong asked in confusion. What spacetime gate? He had never heard of it before.
"Did I say I didn't know about the Nascent Soul stage? I just wanted to hear if what you know is the same as what I know. I also know that above the Nascent Soul stage is the Void Refinement stage, above the Void Refinement stage is the Body Integration stage, above the Body Integration stage is the Mahayana stage, above the Mahayana stage is the Tribulation Transcending stage, above the Tribulation Transcending stage is the True Immortal stage, and above the True Immortal stage is..."
None of that matters; it's too far removed from our lives. It comes back to my earlier question: if what I said is true, and there is indeed another way for cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage to travel to a higher plane, could the crisis facing the Yue Kingdom be resolved without bloodshed?
Xiang Yu couldn't hand over the teleportation array, but the time-space travel item wasn't too expensive for him and Hao Jiu anymore. Besides, it took many years for someone in this plane to advance to the Nascent Soul stage, so exchanging energy for spirit stones wasn't too bad.
Yuehualong re-examined Xiang Yu. If the Feather God Sect possessed the power of time travel, that would be incredibly powerful. The other party certainly didn't come here to boast; the matter of the time portal was most likely true.
"May I ask, sir, does the Gate of Time and Space allow Nascent Soul cultivators to travel to the Spirit Realm?"
Xiang Yu frowned slightly. "It's possible, but does it have to be the Spirit Realm? Can't other cultivation planes work? There are planes that allow Nascent Soul cultivators to cultivate normally."
Normally, time travel items require a time coordinate to teleport to the target plane; without a coordinate, they can only teleport randomly.
So far, Xiang Yu and Hao Jiu have generally traveled directly to mission planes with coordinates, while this cultivation plane is randomly selected.
However, it is not difficult to directly lock onto the spirit world plane now. Just use the teleportation array to send the person or shadow system to the spirit world. After obtaining the coordinates, you can directly travel through time and space.
"Forgive my bluntness, but if you could contribute this portal to a different time-space, like that teleportation array, and place it on Storm Island or in another public place, it could function without your participation and prove that it can indeed send Nascent Soul cultivators to the Spirit Realm. It might actually quell this turmoil, but it could also trigger a world war."
Yuehualong could sense that Xiang Yu had indeed come to help them solve their problems and had genuinely proposed a possible solution to the crisis, so he answered Xiang Yu's questions seriously.
Xiang Yu shook his head. Sure enough, this matter wasn't so easy to resolve. There were too many greedy people in the cultivation world. Possessing a treasure was a crime, weakness was a crime, kindness was a crime, being different was a crime…
Want to reason with me?
Sure, let's win first!
"Alright, you already know the secret of my Feather God Sect. For the safety of the Feather God Sect, I need you to bind yourself to a divine artifact, or I can kill you right now to silence you." Xiang Yu wields his Overlord Divine Halberd; in the cultivation world, strength speaks volumes. Very well!
"Hahaha... a divine object? I think it's more like a restriction. Young man, you want to control my life and death at will? Let's see if you have the ability!"
As Yuehualong spoke, he released a flying sword that instantly transformed from a mere inch long into a ten-zhang-long giant sword, carrying a mountain-like moonlight as it crashed down towards Xiang Yu!
With a single move, Xiang Yu vanished from his spot, only to reappear before the Moonflower Dragon in the next instant.
Yuehualong's eyes widened. So the Feather God Sect were close-combat body cultivators!
Fortunately, Yuehualong possessed a treasure with automatic defense—the Moon Shadow Shield. The transparent shield, resembling moonlight, instantly protected Yuehualong's body. Then, the flying sword shrunk to three feet in size and swiftly returned, its target being Xiang Yu's back.
Xiang Yu thrust his Overlord Divine Halberd straight at the Moon Shadow Barrier, completely ignoring the flying sword behind him.
Smash!
Moonflower Dragon coughed up a mouthful of blood; the Moon Shadow Shield hadn't even managed to stop the Overlord Divine Halberd in the slightest!
bite!
Ding ding ding...
The Moonflower Dragon's flying sword seemed to have struck a defensive magic weapon; the sword trembled wildly but failed to advance an inch.
"Not good! This beast is ferocious and difficult to harm with flying swords; it must be a Nascent Soul Peak Body Cultivator!"
Yuehua Long's expression changed drastically. The only way to fight against a close-combat body cultivator like this was to keep the distance and wear the opponent down little by little. Fortunately, he was prepared in advance. His teleportation talisman could create enough distance so that he could either continue fighting or escape.
puff.
Moonflower Dragon crushed the teleportation talisman, but nothing happened.
Bang!
Xiang Yu grabbed Yuehualong by the neck, "Is that talisman for your own survival?"
Yuehua Long dared not struggle, his face filled with horror. From the moment the two began fighting until he was captured, only a few breaths had passed. He was at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, the strongest warrior in the Yue Kingdom!
What level of skill did the opponent possess to capture him so easily and render his teleportation talisman ineffective?
Late Nascent Soul stage? Not enough!
Peak Nascent Soul stage, or perhaps... Deity Transformation stage?
Body cultivation at the Divine Transformation stage!
Yuehua Long's mind went blank for a moment. He might not be a body cultivator!
Because the opponent knew they couldn't unleash their true power as Nascent Soul cultivators, they could only attack using physical techniques!
Yuehua Long's breathing quickened. He seemed to have discovered something extraordinary. The young man in front of him was very likely a Nascent Soul cultivator who hadn't gone to the Spirit Realm. The Yue Kingdom had a Nascent Soul cultivator! The true pinnacle of combat power in this world!
"You, you are a Nascent Soul cultivator?"
"No." Xiang Yu frowned. Is this all a Nascent Soul cultivator can do?
Hao Jiu curled his lip, "It's not that he's weak, it's that you, Overlord, are too strong. Achieving Earth Realm Overlord Qi is many times more difficult than cultivating to the Nascent Soul Realm. And the true essence of a Nascent Soul cultivator lies in the Nascent Soul. Even if you kill him now, the Nascent Soul has a chance to escape, possess someone else, and regain its strength. If you have the chance, fight that guy who just broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm. The Nascent Soul Realm can't test your strength."
"No, fighting a Nascent Soul cultivator is bad for this plane."
Xiang Yu was also somewhat tempted. A Nascent Soul cultivator could use the power of heaven and earth, so his strength must be extraordinary. However, when he thought about the damage a Nascent Soul cultivator would cause to the plane when he went all out, he decided to give up.
After connecting with this cultivation world, the Chu-Han world has become stable, and the world cannot afford to be lost.
"Then let's go to the Spirit Realm to take a look. The cultivation system is the most popular system in all the heavens and myriad worlds, so it must be very excellent. The division of realms is detailed enough. It starts with Qi Refining and ends with Dao Ancestor, with a total of fourteen major realms. After removing the beginning and end, each major realm is further divided into four minor realms: initial, middle, late and peak."
The domineering cultivation system has only seven realms, but it can still reach the pinnacle of all the heavens and myriad realms. Therefore, after the Emperor Realm transcends, each breakthrough in a realm is equivalent to breaking through about three major realms in immortal cultivation. Although the domineering cultivation system becomes more difficult and valuable as you progress, the same applies to the immortal cultivation system.
Therefore, I believe that with his current level of cultivation and strength, Xiang Yu would be able to protect himself even if he went to a stronger spirit realm.” Hao Jiu smiled slightly. The fact that Xiang Yu was able to break through to the Earth Realm in those sixty years in the eight realms of Tianlong made him a true powerhouse, and he could easily go to the middle realms.
"Not a Nascent Soul cultivator?" At first, Yuehua Long thought the other party was lying to him, but then he thought it was really possible that he wasn't a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Because it might be beyond the Nascent Soul stage!
Chapter 463 Prohibition
Hao Jiu thought to himself, "Xiang Yu hasn't even reached the Core Formation stage yet, but cultivation level doesn't represent strength. Even if Xiang Yu says he's a genuine Foundation Establishment cultivator, Yuehualong can't believe him."
Even in cultivation novels, it's unlikely that a Foundation Establishment cultivator would defeat a Nascent Soul cultivator, but Xiang Yu's current strength is just that domineering.
The original plan, which was simply to secretly come to the cultivation world to place an array plate to solve the collapse of the Chu-Han world, has been changed to directly embarking on a journey to the intermediate world.
The sudden calamity in the cultivation world served as a reminder to Xiang Yu and Hao Jiu that they needed to speed things up!
Taking Yue Hualong, the number one expert in Yue Kingdom, as a small test was the final probing. Xiang Yu, the Overlord, was already invincible in this plane!
Don't underestimate Yuehualong just because he's only in the mid-Nascent Soul stage. Even a Nascent Soul expert couldn't defeat him so easily. Xiang Yu felt that killing a Nascent Soul cultivator was too easy for him. He could kill him instantly as soon as he got close, just like killing a chick.
Yuehualong hadn't felt this kind of fear in countless years. Even when the four-nation alliance attacked Yue, he wasn't this afraid; the enemy could have killed him with a flick of their finger.
Even if the nascent soul can escape, it won't be easy to regain its strength after possessing another talented cultivator.
The key question is, can the Nascent Soul escape?
The person gripping his neck right now is a super strong expert who is suspected to be above the Nascent Soul stage!
"If you think your nascent soul can escape, feel free to try. If you don't want to escape, then make a choice now: accept the divine object I bestow upon you, or die?" Xiang Yu carefully pinched the Moonflower Dragon's neck.
"I...I accept. What do you want me to do?" Yuehua Long dared not gamble. The Nascent Soul cultivator could escape quickly, but he might not be able to outrun this person.
"Just agree to the binding," Xiang Yu said coldly.
Hao Jiu licked his lips. This was the first time he had bound himself to a Nascent Soul cultivator. Currently, he was the strongest human host in the Shadow System.
The binding process went smoothly. Unlike binding ordinary people, the system binds to the Nascent Soul cultivator. Otherwise, if the Nascent Soul cultivator commits suicide and abandons his body, the system will automatically unbind him.
However, there is a problem here. Limited and special cultivation techniques can cultivate a second nascent soul. If a cultivator really wants to get rid of the system, there are still many ways to do so.
The higher the level of the cultivator, the weaker the system's constraints on them, and the less secure the bond; mutual affection is always required.
After Yuehualong bound himself to the Shadow System, he experienced no discomfort whatsoever. Moreover, when he used magic to examine his body, including his soul and nascent soul, he found nothing that resembled any kind of restriction.
But the more this happened, the colder Yuehualong's heart became. There were only two possibilities: either the opponent's methods were extremely sophisticated, and he couldn't sense them; or there was no restriction at all, and the opponent was just creating a charade.
Yuehualong didn't think Xiang Yu was just making things difficult. If he wanted to know how powerful this restriction was, it was simple: just wait until Xiang Yu left and try betraying him.
Xiang Yu made it clear that the purpose of binding him with the divine object was to prevent him from spreading the news of the Feather God Sect. Therefore, as long as he revealed the secret, even before he could utter a word, the restriction would immediately activate, making him wish he were dead or causing his soul to be scattered.
After the binding was successful, Xiang Yu released Yuehualong and said, "Take me to the Kingdom of Wu and let me meet their strongest warrior."
Yuehua Long's heart skipped a beat. "Now?"
"Yes, I'll send him a divine object so that the Wu Kingdom can remain neutral. It would be even better if we could win over the Wu Kingdom's cultivation community as an ally," Xiang Yu said seriously.
Yuehua Long's lips twitched violently. He probably wasn't just thinking about these things. It seemed that Shenxu Zhenren, the strongest person in Wu Kingdom, was going to be in trouble. How much stronger could a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator be than him, a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator?
However, when Yuehualong heard that Xiang Yu was going to find Shenxu Zhenren, he suddenly felt great. If everyone was given divine objects by the Overlord, wouldn't he, who had taken the lead, have a chance to be second only to the emperor?
"Your Majesty, I think it would be best to pay a visit to our Nascent Soul cultivators at Qingxu Temple and Tianhun Valley before heading to Wu. Didn't Your Majesty also say that only by uniting as one can Yue overcome this calamity?" Yuehualong said, bowing.
"God of Wine, how many Shadow Systems are left?" Xiang Yu asked.
Hao Jiu raised an eyebrow. "There are plenty of Nascent Souls. A batch of 'meat chicken' hosts from back in Tian Long Ba Bu have already died, so we brought them all over."
"Alright, let's go see them first." As soon as Xiang Yu finished speaking, a horse flew down from the sky, it was the black horse Wuzhui.
Yuehualong was somewhat surprised. In the cultivation world, it was rare to use horses as mounts. Which of the various rare birds and exotic beasts wasn't more imposing than a horse? Even a flying horse wouldn't do.
"Well, how about I take the Overlord to Jade Beast Mountain to choose a mount? Their guardian beast, the Jade Qilin, is quite good. It is a rare species from the primordial era and possesses a trace of Qilin bloodline."
