Chapter 734 -143 Haotian’s Tracks, Top Ten Ranking (Two in One)
“Is the Immortal Path severed?”
Li Hao was stunned and asked, “Are there immortal divines in this world?”
Upon hearing Li Hao’s question, Ye Ancestor chuckled lightly and said, “Immortal divines are ethereal and elusive; no one has seen them with their own eyes, but there are records in ancient texts. For instance, the sword stele at Moon Viewing Cliff, inside which the sword shadow called ‘Immortal Guide’ is recorded—such a masterful sword technique, except for immortals, no one else could execute it.”
“Indeed,” Li Hao said. “It’s said that even the Sword Saint went there to comprehend it but failed to discern its essence. Other Supreme Saints also mentioned that only an immortal divine could have left those sword techniques behind, impossible for mere mortals to grasp.”
“Apart from the ‘Immortal Guide’ at Moon Viewing Cliff, there’s also the palm imprint in Cold Shudder Ancient Land, and the tattered silks drifting in Broken Soul Sea, all signs that immortal divines once existed in this world, just disappeared for reasons unknown, leaving no trace behind.”
Despite his youthful voice, the young man was knowledgeable about many ancient secrets and said,
...
“Even though a saint can be revered for millennia, they ultimately cannot escape decay, but an immortal divine can. To eternally preserve one’s own Dao, one must transcend to become an immortal divine, the only way to be eternally worshipped by the masses.”
“If one becomes an immortal divine, merely appearing in this world and manifesting a miracle would bring forth the faith of countless mortals. After all, who wouldn’t revere a living immortal divine, not just us, but even saints?”
Speaking of immortal divines, Green Ancestor also chimed in, his voice tinged with regret.
Li Hao was somewhat shocked; he didn’t expect to hear such incredible secrets just after joining the Flower Travel Association.
“So what does the Supreme Saint mean by saying the Immortal Path is severed? Does he refer to the cultivation path or an actual path?”
Li Hao asked curiously.
“It’s an actual path.”
Ye Ancestor said, “There’s a Supreme Saint who has reached that barrier, touched the Heavenly Dao Will of this realm, and learned that it’s impossible to become immortal within this realm, only by stepping out of it.”
“Therefore, the Supreme Saint has been pioneering and exploring, searching everywhere for a path that leads out of this realm. He found such a path following the remnants left by those immortal divines, but the path is sealed. This realm is like a closed shell; we spend our whole lives trapped within, unable to transcend.”
Li Hao was taken aback; this was his first encounter with the secrets of the Land of All Saints and such despair.
Hope for immortality lost, we all perish in the end?
No wonder there’s an organization like the Flower Travel Association since perishing is inevitable, better to enjoy the present.
“Now, the Supreme Saints have discovered a second path, located in a perilous place. However, it seems that unlocking all realms is required to have a chance to step onto, let alone open, that path!”
Green Ancestor took over the conversation: “Thus, for over a thousand years, All Saints have continually reincarnated for cultivation, some even using incarnations for reincarnating to cultivate all the realms, aiming to be the first to break open that path and ascend to become an immortal divine.”
“This path is also difficult. Firstly, cultivating the Nine Extremes Realm is very challenging, needing an exceptional caliber. Secondly, whether this path is real or just conjecture, the truth may only be revealed by attempting it.”
“Yet, despite this slim hope, it made All Saints fiercely compete for it. After all, that slim chance of becoming an immortal divine represents the only hope for eternal life!”
Li Hao was stunned.
He had learned from Lin Shanhai that All Saints reincarnated for a secretive purpose— it was all about achieving immortality.
No wonder; reincarnation is extremely perilous, and one might sink across a hundred lifetimes. Without such a great temptation, why would the All Saints take such a risk?
The Nine Extremes Realm… Li Hao’s eyes flickered. Now that he was already at the Seven Extreme Realm, with enough Cultivation Techniques, the Eight Extreme Realm was within reach. As for the Nine Extremes Realm, that was the Wen Dao Extreme Realm. When his Control Dao reached the Ninth Stage, he might be able to glimpse it.
However…
“Are you saying a Supreme Saint with such a long life, couldn’t cultivate the Nine Extremes Realm either?”
Li Hao asked in doubt.
Although some realms are difficult, relying on the accumulation of years and time, one should gradually achieve them.
He managed to cultivate the Seven Extreme Realm primarily due to bonus accumulation points, shortening his cultivation time.
But others have more extended periods to spend, which can bridge the gap.
“It’s not that simple.”
The young man shook his head, “Supreme Saints are exceptional monsters, and their cultivation is ancient. They have achieved other realms, but the hardest is said to be the Sixth Extreme Realm. No one has cultivated it. Cultivation in the Heavenly Human Realm to the utmost appears to merge with heaven and earth. Although possessing the vast heart to integrate with the soul of heaven and earth, finding the will to merge is difficult.”
Li Hao was mildly shocked—the Sixth Extreme Realm?
He’d heard before that the Sixth Extreme Realm was challenging, yet even the Supreme Saints were stuck there.
He suddenly remembered the faint Celestial Venerable Will he had vaguely touched, the ultimate point of the Heavenly Human Realm being Celestial Venerable.
“You’re behind on the news. Ten years ago, it was said that the Cloud Realm opened a Mortal World channel and discovered a monster youth with the Sixth Extreme Realm in the Mortal World, only to be personally eradicated by the Void Saint later, killing that hope.”
Green Ancestor suddenly mentioned.
Li Hao was taken aback, unexpectedly hearing about himself, and he was shocked.
“That incident, I heard about it too,” said Ye Ancestor. “It’s a pity, without the protection of a Supreme Saint, even if one cultivates the Sixth Extreme Realm, accidents are prone to happen. After all, All Saints reincarnating all aim to cultivate the Sixth Extreme Realm themselves and be the first to break through that path, how could they give such an opportunity to someone else?”
“There’s no shortage of monsters in the world, but unblossomed monsters eventually remain just a wisp of a cloud, easily dispersed by a gust of wind.”

Li Hao fell silent; when the Void Saint killed him, it was said to be because he was chasing the Saint Heir of the Void Holy Land in the Mortal World. Now, it seemed there was also this reason mentioned by Ye Ancestor.
Exceptional talents will wither without the protection of a power.
Li Hao took a deep breath, his gaze turning icy. Since the assassination attempt at age six, he had realized that his greatest reliance was himself.
