Peak Cultivator's Slice of Life-Chapter 38 - 100 Trillion Years

"Brother Blood River, I’ve heard about the Soul Monster at the beginning of the era that was said to kill many creatures. Although the monster’s strength wasn’t that strong, but its soul attack was so terrifying, it could weaken a 3rd Stage False Void Master like us to only half strength. Who would have thought that the soul of that Soul Monster would fall into your hands. By making it into an artifact, then you will possess its attacks even though each use of the artifact comes at a high price. Except for those four Dao Cultivators, even the Sacred Star Monarch and the Red Water Monarch will experience a drastic reduction in strength because their souls are basically no different from ours. Hahaha, soon you will be on par with them and still be able to fight those four Dao Cultivators." The Heaven Tree Monarch said, staring at the ball of light in front of him without blinking at all.

"The soul is the core of all living things. When it is attacked, it will be difficult for everyone," the Death Sword Monarch added.

The Blood River Sect Master smiled endlessly at their words.

He said, "After I kill that woman who has killed my son, I will also help you two kill your targets. With our cooperation plus this artifact, I can’t think of anyone who can defeat us. Of course, there’s no way I would have made it into an artifact if not for the various treasures from you guys, hahaha..."

In fact, control of the artifact was not entirely given to him.

The two of them also had some control, just still under him even though the two of them were working together.

This was done for the sake of binding this cooperation. Otherwise, who would trust the other.

Without this artifact, even if he asked the two of them for help against Yi Mingxue, he still did not have the confidence to kill her.

Just cornering her was really meaningless at all.

Unfortunately, he and the others could never know how much Yi Mingxue would progress in 100 Trillion Years.

With the soul fragments in her body, her ability to improve her Half-Void Body in the Dao of Destruction and Dao of Life would still be drastic to the peak.

100 Trillion Years later, even True Flame Emperors and Giant Ancestor managed to stabilize their strength at the 1st Stage False Void Master, making them respected experts throughout the Boundless Ancient Realm as they were essentially equivalent to the 2nd Stage False Void Masters of Bloodline Cultivators.

To the Boundless Ancient Realm, 100 Trillion Years was as short as 100 years. Some new experts appeared yet they were not enough to make ripples.

Although Yi Mingxue continued to cultivate, she moved around after several trillion years, not always in the capital of the Fallen Star Kingdom.

She sometimes needed to travel around just to gain experience.

After 100 Trillion Years, her aura had already completely merged with the world including the void within the world itself.

The space of the Boundless Ancient Realm was powerful, but it seemed to take a lot of strength just to hold her existence.

She had just left her last closed cultivation that she did inside the old cave.

Asher was just waiting for her beside a river full of fish.

When he saw her again, he could not help but nod in satisfaction.

"How are you feeling right now?" he asked her.

"I feel very strong, yet I also feel as if there is no more path ahead of me in the Dao of Destruction and the Dao of Life. If I want to evolve, I guess I can only rely on my Dao of Space and Dao of Time. However, I know that even if they also reach their limits, what I feel will still be the same." The woman explained about her feelings.

Unfortunately, the distance between the False Void Master Peak and the True Void Master was too great. It gave the sensation as if there was no path at all ahead.

Of course, with deeper accumulation with more Dao, that opportunity could be found more easily.

Just relying on one Dao? That’s too little accumulation.

However, even with a lot of accumulation, wanting to break through, it was still necessary to go to very harsh places.

In a peaceful place, one probably wouldn’t be able to get any inspiration at all.

"Although due to several factors, in the last few thousand trillion years, your progress has been the fastest," Asher said.

"Mm, it must be because of the things that entered my body. Otherwise, I think it would have taken me thousands of trillions of years..." Yi Mingxue nodded, realizing what made her advance so fast.

Unfortunately, she did not yet know the things that entered her body.

The problem was that Asher said they were not from him, so she was still very confused until now.

"Next, just focus on your Dao of Space and Dao of Time. Unfortunately, they are still at Stage 1. For now, you can still stay in this world to settle some things or to just look around. After that, I’ll take you to the next place. It’s a truly harsh place that even you might experience death."

Yi Mingxue’s eyes became very serious hearing that she might die.

She could not imagine what kind of place it was.

"Mm, I actually don’t need to care too much about taking revenge on the Heaven Valley City Lord. However, I feel that some people really want to kill me, so I will wait for them," she said.

She felt that through a faint karma.

And she had no doubt about that feeling. She just didn’t know who they were although she had some guesses.

The problem was that the number of these people was greater than the number of people who had a grudge against her.

"Then we’ll wait for them," Asher replied.

They explored the Boundless Ancient Realm again, arriving at a region that was very lively though not the most prosperous place.

It was called the Thousand Sects City, but it wasn’t a city, it was a region where many sects took root.

The sects here on average only had a 2nd Stage False Void Master as the strongest and there were only two 3rd Stage False Void Masters.

The land was fertile and the population was very dense as many people without clans came to this region to join sects.

The sects were close together, so everyone from the various sects easily interacted. That was why this region was called the City because it almost looked like a city.

The Sky Sun Sect whose disciples met them when they arrived at the Boundless Ancient Realm was also in this region.

Their sect was atop a mountain that had its own sun, hovering above the mountain so that the area was always daytime.

Yi Mingxue also happened to appear there when she brought Asher to teleport.

They appeared in its courtyard which was full of disciples.

Even Young Master Li Ming was there with Elder Sun.

The young man’s cultivation had risen to the Great Paragon 3rd Stage yet Elder Sun was still the same as 100 Trillion Years ago.

Two people suddenly appeared, all the disciples couldn’t help but be surprised.

Of course, Li Ming and the others who had seen them instantly recognized them.

Their memories as Top Grade Cultivators were too strong and these two people were the ones they had the hardest time forgetting.

Those who were originally seated immediately stood up because they were too shocked to see them.

"Lady Yi!" Li Ming and Elder Sun immediately greeted respectfully.

Those who had never met them also began to recognize them not long after.

This was because they had at least seen Yi Mingxue’s portrait as a seventh-ranked expert in the Boundless Ancient Realm.

After 100 Trillion Years, her portrait had also spread to the lower circles.

Li Ming quickly reported to his father and his father reported to the ancestor.

An instant later, a middle-aged man and an old man came out of the sect, the Sky Sun Sect Master and Ancestor.

They looked at Yi Mingxue with disbelief, wondering how a famous expert like her could come to this sect.

The two quickly bowed to her.

"What a glory to my sect for Lady Yi’s arrival," said the ancestor respectfully while the sect master signaled for everyone to bow as well in respect.

Yi Mingxue was ultimately unable to determine the exact direction in which she would appear after teleporting a great distance.

Her indifferent expression was shocked in a split second.

"Stand up, I just happened to appear here," she said.

She really did not feel excited by their attitude.

The ancestor immediately stood up, trying to hide his awkward expression as he originally thought Yi Mingxue had come specifically to his sect.

Even so, he was still happy that she appeared here.

"Although this was unintentional, but the fact that you appeared here, Lady Yu, shows that fate favors our sect. Your arrival is good fortune for us and I believe this is the beginning of many good fortunes that will come our way," the ancestor said.

He had lived too long and his cultivation had long since stopped growing.

If he had once been a very arrogant expert, looking down on everyone and unafraid of stronger experts, then now he was very good at speaking to please others.

Of course, he would only use that skill on those stronger than him.

"Huh!" Yi Mingxue snorted softly.

She might be young compared to other False Void Masters but it could not be denied that she had already lived hundreds of trillions of years.

How could she possibly be swayed by such praise.

Only, she admitted that this did include fate, so she thought about looking around this sect for a while.

"I want to take a tour of your sect and I don’t want to be disturbed," she said, waving her hand which produced an extremely powerful gust of wind, throwing people including the ancestor in various directions.

An instant later, there was no one around her and her teacher anymore.
