Fantasy: I Can Instantly Comprehend Everything

Chapter 156 - 156 A Higher Realm

156 A Higher Realm

“He’s not a nascent soul cultivator either.” Ling Qingyun’s words were like sudden thunder that exploded in everyone’s hearts. Whether it was the sect leaders of the other four sects or the disciples who were standing still, all of them were shocked to the extreme!

The sect leader of the Autumn Path School had a look of melancholy on his face. He had calculated everything, but he had not expected that every time he spoke, there would be something even worse!

“Nascent soul… the nascent soul stage. This is clearly a stage that we cultivators have been cultivating for thousands of years but have never reached. Even the name of this stage is unheard of.” The Autumn Path School leader couldn’t help but mutter. “We haven’t even touched the nascent soul stage yet, but we have to face an existence even more terrifying than the nascent soul stage?”

The sect leader of the Autumn Path School looked around and suddenly understood why Ling Qingyun had gathered all the disciples of the five sects. It turned out that they had to face an unprecedented terrifying existence.

He sighed. Everyone understood that if they were to face such a terrifying existence, let alone the sect leaders present, even if all the sect leaders of the five sects and their disciples gathered here, they would still not be the opponent of that terrifying wisp of spiritual energy!

“The so-called Dao cultivation is the Great Path that goes against the heavens. The further you progress, the less human cultivation is involved. Instead, it touches more obscure things that are closer to the root.” The Heavenly Star Institute’s sect leader retracted his shocked expression and looked at Ling Qingyun. “We can’t even shake a nascent soul cultivator with all our might, let alone a realm above it. Ling Qingyun, you didn’t ask all of us to come here just to make us do useless things like moths to a flame. There must be another way, right?”

“For example, that person’s realm is unstable because he can’t sense the real heaven and earth in this world. Or it could be said that because of something, he had no choice but to lower his strength. For example, why he was killed by the five sects a thousand years ago, there must be a hidden story. This is also where our hope lies.” The Heavenly Star Institute’s sect leader explained.

His words were like a ray of hope that dispelled the haze in everyone’s hearts. They all looked toward Ling Qingyun. If there was really a way to face that great terror, why wouldn’t they dare to try?

“That’s right. You’re really worthy of your reputation.” Ling Qingyun nodded his head. Ling Qingyun wasn’t surprised that the Heavenly Star Institute’s sect leader was able to guess that person’s condition. However, Ling Qingyun still shook her head.

“That person’s real name is unknown. According to the information obtained in the spiritually deprived ground trials, he is locked up in this world. Countless upright disciples are also locked inside.” Ling Qingyun pointed at herself, then at the other four sect leaders.

“The Autumn Path School, the Heavenly Star Institute, Spirit Valley, and the other five sects were all founded by the disciples who were locked up. In fact, they have a true sect in the outside world, and that is what we know so far. My Spirit Valley is one of the Holy Land, a power of the Divine Gate.” As Ling Qingyun spoke, she took out a tattered token. There was only a little bit of spiritual energy left on the token. However, everyone could see the lines on the token, and the word “God” that made people worship it.

“Ling Qingyun, what do you want to say?” All of the sect leaders no longer said anything. They understood that what Ling Qingyun was going to say next would be the key to whether they could face that terrifying existence!

Everyone held their breaths as they waited for Ling Qingyun to continue. It was about a place that no one had ever heard of before – the Holy Land!

“I found the inheritance of the Divine Gate in the spiritually deprived ground. It might be useful.” Ling Qingyun said. She took out a sword.

It was an old sword that seemed to have experienced countless battles and the erosion of time. The blade of the sword was already broken, and the blade was full of potholes as if it would break in the next moment!

But when everyone saw the sword, they felt a chill in their hearts! It was as if a sword Qi was accumulating power and waiting to pierce through the world!

“This is a spiritual sword, but I don’t know who its owner is. However, it contains a shocking sword Qi. Even though I’m in the late-stage golden core, I can’t look at it directly for a moment. This is a sword Qi of the nascent soul stage! As long as we use it properly, we might be able to defeat that existence.” Ling Qingyun said.

“Sword Qi of the nascent soul stage? But isn’t that person in a higher realm?” The sect leader of the Heavenly Star Institute said.

“This is the sword Qi of the upright path. It contains the Qi of heaven and earth, and can cause natural enemy-like damage to filth and heretic cultivators.” Ling Qingyun didn’t stop because of the Heavenly Star Institute’s sect leader’s words and continued.

“A thousand years ago, the sect leader of Spirit Valley left a clue in the spiritually deprived ground trial. Although that person had deliberately lost and was killed, his strength was at least in the mid-stage nascent soul, and his cultivation level was still dropping! This world has been lacking in spiritual energy for thousands of years. Everyone, listen to my command. Perhaps there is a way.” In the end, Ling Qingyun could only force herself to say this.

Her words were powerful. However, the people around them could only listen and were not convinced.

Information from a thousand years ago, an even more ancient sword Qi, and an enemy with unknown strength! These were all uncertain factors, and no one knew how to defeat them!

The sect leader of the Autumn Path School sighed. They could only choose to believe in Ling Qingyun. After all, the world wouldn’t allow them to escape from such a terrifying existence.

“Then, what do you want us to do?” The sect leader of the Autumn Path School chose to listen to Ling Qingyun first. Or rather, they could only do this.

Ling Qingyun nodded. Given the critical situation, it would be for the best if the sect leader of the Autumn Path School could take the lead and listen to orders, putting down his status as the sect leader of one of the five sects. Ling Qingyun didn’t want to waste any more time on scheming against each other over the appointment of commanders. She did not have that much energy left!

Seeing that the sect leader of the Autumn Path School had agreed, Ling Qingyun turned her attention to the other three.

“We also agree that you, Ling Qingyun, will be in command, even though the information is still very vague. However, we’re now facing a terrifying existence. Moreover, this existence is locked in the same world as us. We might not even know when we will be destroyed.” The remaining two sect leaders said.

Ling Qingyun turned her gaze to the sect leader of the Heavenly Star Institute. She knew that the head of the Heavenly Star Institute was more quick-witted than ordinary people, and he thought more. His strength was also on par with hers. Thus, of the remaining five sects, Ling Qingyun paid the most attention to the Heavenly Star Institute’s sect leader.

“Ling Qingyun, can I ask one last question?” The Heavenly Star Institute’s sect leader said.

“Sure.” Ling Qingyun replied.

“Why was that person locked in here? And why did our senior come in with us? If we kill him, will we be able to escape this world?” The sect leader of the Heavenly Star Institute looked at the sky.

The sky was filled with countless stars, but he knew that everything, including the thousand years of astrology that the Heavenly Star Institute had studied, was all fake.
