Chapter 747: Chapter 8: The Cultivator from Ten Thousand Years Ago

Luo Tian felt as if he had returned to thousands of years ago, at the moment he saw the silhouette of inheritance.

At that moment, even though he understood it was but a shadow of the Tenth Realm, incapable of harming him, he still felt fear.

Back then, he was of the Seventh Realm, having just qualified to traverse the starry skies, his spirits high.

It was also then that he realized he had only been seeing the sky from the bottom of a well; beneath the stars lay even more fearsome mighty beings.

With a mere wave of their hands, stars would perish.

With a single breath, all life would be extinguished.

Thousands of years later, he had reached the Ninth Realm and had even walked far on the path of the Ninth Realm, thinking he would not be as timid as he had been thousands of years ago when facing the Tenth Realm, thinking he was entitled to face it directly.

But only now did he discover that facing the Tenth Realm as a cultivator of the Ninth Realm was no different from when he was of the Seventh Realm.

Even a mere trace of the Tenth Realm’s aura made his heart tremble, leaving him void of any power to resist.

“The Tenth Realm… So you are a being of the Tenth Realm!”

Luo Tian, watching Wang Sheng’s Ninth Realm incarnation about to vanish, finally understood why Wang Sheng was indifferent to his incarnation being slain.

He even felt that there was still time.

It was true that one of the Ninth Realm could not reach the Secret Realm in a short amount of time, but what if it was a powerhouse of the Tenth Realm?

Originally without an answer, he now possessed one.

His speculations had been correct, the only mistake was in his estimation of Wang Sheng’s strength.

At this moment, Wang Sheng’s spirit had already shifted to his Tenth Realm avatar.

He tore through space, arriving directly before Luo Tian and his Ninth Realm incarnation, then absorbed the Ninth Realm avatar, saying,

“Fellow daoist, it seems the situation has reversed!”

“What virtue or ability do I possess to be addressed as a fellow daoist by a being of the Tenth Realm?” Luo Tian’s expression was desolate, millennia of plans dissolving in an instant.

He knew he could not leave behind any inheritance in the presence of a Tenth Realm being.

After all, the inheritance he sought was merely of the Tenth Realm.

Yet, inside, he still harbored some unwillingness:

“Since you are a mighty being of the Tenth Realm, why bother with a Ninth Realm avatar to toy with me?”

Had he known it was a Tenth Realm avatar, he would not have come at all.

He wished to gain the inheritance, but he was no fool.

Wang Sheng shook his head, revealing the truth:

“You seem to have misunderstood something. When you encountered my incarnation, I was indeed of the Ninth Realm, not the Tenth, though I experienced some breakthroughs.”

Luo Tian instantly came to understand.

His arrival in the Secret Realm, finding the silenced Wang Sheng incarnation–that was the very moment Wang Sheng was breaking through to the Tenth Realm.

He remembered the words Wang Sheng spoke upon awakening.

“Made a bit of progress?”

Would you like to listen to what you’re saying, breaking through to the Tenth Realm, is that a bit of progress?

But he could not voice anything, and all his emotions turned into a sigh, “Times and fate, perhaps I wasn’t destined to receive the Tenth Realm’s inheritance… You are of the Tenth Realm, there’s nothing I can do to stop you.”

In the face of such a mighty being, he had no plea for mercy.

He was well aware that beings so powerful were seldom swayed by external factors in their judgement.

“You indeed cannot stop me, but it doesn’t mean you have no chance at inheriting.”

Luo Tian’s eyes lit up, and he immediately said, “What would you have me do?”

“You don’t need to do anything, just don’t resist,” Wang Sheng said with a smile, and then he exerted the power of his Yang Spirit.

The incarnation couldn’t use its full strength, but it was still of the Tenth Realm.

Invading a being of the Ninth Realm was more than manageable.

Luo Tian didn’t know what Wang Sheng intended to do, but soon felt an awe-inspiring energy.

Such high-grade energy nearly instantly suppressed his own Ninth Realm’s energies destined for the Tenth Realm.

“More formidable than the Tenth Realm left behind in the Inheritance Secret Realm…” He made the judgment instantly.

And this force was the power born from Wang Sheng’s ascension to the Tenth Realm, immortal force.

Its exceptionally high essence instantly subdued Luo Tian.

Unknowingly, it invaded the Sea of Spiritual Origin within Luo Tian.

Having reached the Ninth Realm, Luo Tian naturally possessed great fortune and quickly sensed something amiss.

He knew the Tenth Realm powerhouse before him was probing for information.

“So this is why you want me not to resist, quite the high regard you have for me.”

Resist?

Under such mysterious power, he was left incapable of any action.

He could only watch as Wang Sheng read all his memories.

In a while, Wang Sheng completed scanning the memories.

It has to be said, truly befitting the strongest in a world, his experiences were rich.

Most important among them was the Secret Realm inheritance.

“You possess the Lifebound Weapon of the Tenth Realm’s Secret Realm inheritance, called the Sealing Heaven Flag?”

The Sealing Heaven Flag was the Lifebound Weapon of the mighty being who left behind the Inheritance Secret Realm.

According to Luo Tian’s memory, in order to acquire the complete inheritance, the Sealing Heaven Flag was extremely important, an indispensable key.

Seeing that Wang Sheng was already privy to all his secrets, Luo Tian didn’t conceal anything, saying directly,

“Yes, my first entry into the Secret Realm yielded not only the Ninth Realm’s inheritance but also the Sealing Heaven Flag. According to the inheritance, the Sealing Heaven Flag can open the ultimate inheritance.”

Wang Sheng nodded, then extended his hand towards the starry sky; his hand seemed to cross through time and space, touching down on an abandoned planet, then gently retrieved something.

A banner exuding a mighty aura was pulled out.

The banner, seemingly activated by the strong presence, desired to unleash its full force.

Unfortunately, facing a true Tenth Realm being, the banner could only rage impotently, and in the blink of an eye, it was drawn back.

Witnessing this scene, Luo Tian gained a deeper understanding of the Tenth Realm’s might.

It must be noted, to prevent any accident, he had hidden the Sealing Heaven Flag on a remote planet for nurturing, which would take even a Ninth Realm being about a month to reach.
