Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme

Chapter 447: Chapter 281: Predicament_3

Seeing this, the four Venerables of the Evergreen Palace, despite feeling secretly contemptuous, did not voice their displeasure. Instead, they listened carefully, curious about what he intended to do.

Xu Yang smiled and got straight to the point, “Where is Leng Aotian?”

“This…”

Nobody dared to meet each other’s eyes, but it was Shi Jinglong who finally spoke up, “If nothing unexpected has occurred, he should be in the Temple of War God.”

Clearly, he too knew whom they were facing and didn’t bother with the usual excuses about someone being missing.

Xu Yang nodded and continued to ask, “What is he doing in the Temple of War God?”

“This…!?”

Upon hearing this, the five of them furrowed their brows even more intensely.

This Divine Martial Ancestor, the legendary figure who emerged from the Temple of War God, didn’t know the mystery of the War God?

Where then did his earth-shattering, unfathomable power that frightened even ghosts and gods come from?

The five of them knitted their brows tightly, filled with confusion. Still, they didn’t dare to ask further and could only respond to the situation at hand.

“He is naturally comprehending the Broken Void!”

“The Broken Void?”

Xu Yang’s eyebrows raised, his interest piqued, “What do you mean?”

The five of them had no intention to hide, and Shi Jinglong said gravely, “The True Martial God of War has no direct lineage. Though it is divided into forty-nine parts, it is actually a whole. The final part, Broken Void, is the core secret.”

“The first forty-eight parts of the atlas that were taken out of the Temple of War God, no matter how one cultivates , can only reach the realm of complete Divine Intent, at most as strong as Chen Tianjie from the Iron Heart Fortress. To progress further, one must enter the Temple of War God and comprehend the Broken Void.”

“The Broken Void contains profound mysteries. It can integrate the true martial techniques from the previous forty-eight parts of the atlas, helping the Martial Artist enhance their physical body, and step into a higher realm. Like the masters of the various Sacred Places of the Righteous Path, they have entered the Temple of War God and, after gaining insights into the Broken Void, managed to merge two true martial techniques from the atlas, reaching the Peak of Divine Martial.”

“There’s also Chen Tianjie, who has also entered the Temple of War God and comprehended the Broken Void, gaining some insights and understanding, which is why he was able to combine the Heavenly Demon Great Skill with the support of the Demon Sect, cultivating into the Heavenly Tribulation Demon God.”

“Without such circumstances, even if one were to gather many parts of the War God’s Atlas and study them day and night, it would be difficult to reach the Supreme Peak of Divine Intent, nor the Heaven and Earth Tribulation Realm above it.”

Shi Jinglong narrated the sequence of events, explaining the cause and effect.

“I see!”

Xu Yang nodded, then continued to ask, “How many parts of the atlas has Leng Aotian merged, and what is his Cultivation?”

After pondering for a while, Shi Jinglong said, “Leng Aotian, back in the day, only entered the Temple of War God once, with shallow comprehension and few insights. Thus, he only managed to merge two parts of the atlas, achieving Divine Intent Supreme Peak Cultivation. However, he is a prodigy with a heaven-sent talent, showing signs of merging all five great atlas parts of the Demon Sect, and thus he suppresses the masters of all Sacred Places to be the foremost person in the world.”

“Is that so?”

Xu Yang smiled and then asked again, “Before Leng Aotian, within the forces of both the righteous and the evil paths, how many such individuals have there been in the Temple of War God?”

“This…”

Shi Jinglong’s expression held hesitation, and the five from the Evergreen Palace also furrowed their brows.

In the end, still mustering up the courage, they said, “This is a matter of life and death, a great secret of various heritages. We truly do not know. Also, the Temple of War God appears once every thousand years, every appearance lasting only three months. After that time, it will hide into oblivion, making it impossible to enter again. That is to say, once someone enters the Temple of War God, they must be isolated from the outside world for a thousand years. Even Venerables of Divine Intent must consider it carefully…”

“No matter!”

Xu Yang was unfazed and looked down at them, “You, list out all the people from past Divine Martial Lists who have reached the Supreme Peak of Divine Intent and are likely to break through to the Heaven and Earth Tribulation Realm. Detail their life’s martial achievements. Do well and there will be a reward, do poorly, and there will be a penalty!”

“This…!”

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback.

Their astonishment was not because of the coercion or the rewards and penalties, but because the person before them was casting his gaze toward the legacies of the past in the Temple of War God – the Tribulation Realm Experts?

Was he really unconcerned with the current threats from the forces of both the righteous and evil paths? Or was it that he was confident he could hold Evergreen Palace against the powers of the righteous and evil paths, so he only worried about the legends of the Tribulation Realm within the Temple of War God?

What had this man done during the time they were captured?

The five of them were shocked, sensing that something was amiss.
