Chapter 81: Chapter 80: Stars and Continent i

Master Chu’s words startled all three of them, especially Lu Yang, who thought of many other things.

When they first entered the Seek Dao Sect, they were given a general map of the Sect, which was marked with an area of one hundred thousand miles in diameter. The concept of such a vast area was equivalent to ten earth planets mashed together— it was so gigantic!

Keeping in mind the descriptions of the Refining the Void and Unification Stages from the ancient texts, only such colossal areas could possibly accommodate the grandeur of their magical prowess.

There were many forbidden areas in their Sect. These places were mostly used by strong cultivators for magical duels. Those with insufficient cultivation levels would perish if they so much as grazed the boundaries of those areas.

When they first joined, the Eldest Senior Sister had mentioned, “The Sect is too vast to detail in just a few words. You can gradually explore it over time.” It wasn’t because she was too lazy to explain, but the Seek Dao Sect was indeed massive and required gradual exploration.

Thinking about this, the Seek Dao Sect could possibly be the result of merging several planets!

The area occupied by the Seek Dao Sect was but a small corner of the Central Continent, and it was hard to imagine just how enormous the Central Continent truly was!

Master Chu continued, “In ancient times, there were thousands, if not millions, of life-bearing stars, even more. The exact number is impossible to ascertain now.”

“In ancient times, cultivators who reached the Divinity Transformation Stage no longer needed magic artifacts. They could fly from one star to another. The entire universe was littered with damaged stars, the result of cultivators fighting each other!”

“The prosperity of the ancient times was truly awe-inspiring. So many legends and powerful cultivators were borne during that time.”

“The measure of a cultivator’s power was the number of planets one blast could destroy, and their influence was judged by how many life-bearing planets were under their rule.”

“During the height of the ancient world’s prosperity, a formidable entity emerged. He refined all the stars in the sky into a whole continent. Whether the planets had life or not, none could escape his grasp.”

“The Central Continent is teeming with life as it was formed by life-bearing stars — it is the best place for cultivation!”

“The vast ocean east of the Central Continent was once a water-covered star.”

“The Golden Buddha Kingdom to the west of the Central Continent was once an uninhabitable desolate star.”

“The same goes for the Southern Demon Realm and the areas in the extreme north.”

Master Chu’s words shook the understanding of the world, as perceived by Lu Yang and the other two. They could not have imagined that the land beneath their feet was a refined star!

This was beyond their imagination!

“Who had refined the stars?” Lu Yang asked.

Master Chu shook his head. It wasn’t that Lu Yang’s status wasn’t enough, but that he truly did not know. “The true form is impossible to verify, but it can be affirmed that that entity was definitely an Immortal!”

This power, utterly transcending the mortal world, was something not achievable by those in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage!

“Why that entity chose to refine stars into continents and what method he used remains a mystery.”

Master Chu continued, “One thing for sure is that the method used by that being was extremely brutal, devoid of mercy. Who knows how many people living on the stars survived his tampering? Even ordinary cultivators would find it hard to survive.”

“Whoever survived either had high cultivation levels or, more likely, good luck!”

“At that time, the rising geniuses and great powers resisted, but they were all turned into blood mists by that entity and sent into reincarnation.”

“Fortunately, at the time, the Immortal Eternity took action and saved the majority of the human race, preventing them from extinction.”

“The prosperous Great Era perished and collapsed, and for a long time, no geniuses emerged.”

“The location of that being is unknown, but he definitely didn’t die. With the arrival of the next Great Era, who knows if that being will show up. If he goes on a killing spree then, who could stop him?”

“Only the Immortal Eternity!”

“So, for the sake of everyone and ourselves, we must resurrect the Immortal Eternity!”

“Only a small number of people would die in the resurrection of the Immortal Eternity. However, if we don’t resurrect the Immortal Eternity, perhaps the whole human race will be obliterated!”

“It’s a shame that those from the Righteous Path, who believe they hold moral high ground, don’t realize that we of the Eternity Sect are also dedicating ourselves for the human race!”

Master Chu’s words were firm and definite, and determination shone in his eyes.

From a moral standpoint, they were killing to save lives, while personally, they had justifiable reasons for the killings, assuaging their guilt.

The reason why the Eternity Sect only recruited those from the Demon Path was that this kind of explanation aligned best with their mentality.

Lu Yang felt a chill in his heart. Just listening to Master Chu’s speech, he felt as though he could go mad blindly worshiping Immortal Eternity, praying for the world’s salvation.

Not everything Master Chu said necessarily represented the truth or at least not the whole truth. Lu Yang didn’t believe that the Seek Dao Sect knew nothing about the events of the ancient past, and he didn’t believe that the Eldest Senior Sister was entirely unprepared for this.

Meng Jingzhou asked, “If that’s the case, why not cooperate with the Righteous Path? Wouldn’t it be easier to achieve success if everyone worked together?”

Master Chu sneered, “Who can guarantee that the being who refined the stars was not hiding among those in the Righteous Path?”

“The founder of our Sect, after thorough investigation, believed that the one who refined the stars is somewhere in the Righteous Path, either in the Five Great Immortal Sects or in the Great Xia Dynasty.”

“Isn’t the reason why the Righteous Path promotes order to encourage more people to cultivate and make the Central Continent more prosperous?”

“But what comes after prosperity? Don’t forget the painful experiences at the end of the ancient times.”

“Maybe that being likes to harvest life, and when life is flourishing again, he will take action!”

What Master Chu said represented the mainstream thought in the Eternity Sect.

Master Chu added, “The stars above us seem to hang on the horizon, but if your cultivation reaches a certain level and you fly into the universe to see, you would find that most of them are merely remnants of the ancient times. There might be some real existing stars that have slipped through the net, but certainly not many.”

Master Chu said all this to inspire their sincere belief in the Immortal Eternity. Looking at their amazed faces, it seemed like he had no reason to worry.

“Alright, I understand that this information may come as quite a shock to you. Take some time to process it.”

“Also, the three of you showed good performance in the three trials. The Sect is in need of efficient people now, and most are currently resting in their cells. As you all are at the Foundation Establishment Stage, you qualify for the role of Managers. After some thought, I decided to promote you to the manager positions.”

Master Chu handed over three tokens to them, symbolizing their roles as Eternity Sect Managers.

In reality, Master Chu had intended for Lu Yang and the others to become Managers all along. The whole chain of events prior to this was only meant for those who had reached the position of Managers to know.

Master Chu suggested, “On another note, feel free to visit your fellow disciples when you have the time. I heard that the food in the prison isn’t that great, so perhaps bringing them some would help establish bonds.”

People on the Demon Path do protect their interests, but they are also known to make clear distinctions between gratitude and grudges. Those below were constantly plotting against each other, making his role as a Rudder Master difficult.

However, what Master Chu really worried about was not that his subordinates would play tricks on Lu Yang and the others. He was worried about his subordinates being killed by them.

Lu Yang responded with a beaming smile, “We’re all Sect brothers. We’ll definitely unite and work together towards resurrecting the Immortal Eternity. You can rest assured, Master Chu.”

For some reason, Master Chu felt even more uneasy after hearing this.
