The Overlord Sect indeed has some methods, and everything seems to be changing; the entire Overlord Sect is developing towards a civilized society.
Looking at Zhan Lingfeng, Bai Chengfeng had the others step back and said seriously, "Senior, since you want to understand the situation, there are some things we would like to introduce to you."
Seeing his serious demeanor, Zhan Lingfeng also took it seriously and looked at him.
"In fact, although we are very close to the Ascension Platform in our original world and can enter it, many people hesitate and are unwilling to go in. Do you know about this situation, Senior?"
Zhan Lingfeng was somewhat puzzled and asked, "What is this situation? Don't everyone want to become immortal?"
With a bitter smile, Bai Chengfeng glanced at the few old men who remained and said to one of them, "Elder Zhao, please explain the situation."
"Senior Zhan, we don't know how you became so powerful. Perhaps you are the only one who can unravel this predicament. Let me introduce you to the situation."
As Zhan Lingfeng looked around, he noticed that the old men all appeared to be deep in thought.
"Senior Zhan, we actually don't mind that you killed some of our disciples; compared to what we are about to discuss, those are just new faces. Here, we have employed special methods for concealment. I believe even the immortals would not know about this. We have researched this for many years. After entering this new world, with the different rules and powers, our methods have become even more applicable," Bai Chengfeng said with a serious tone.
"Why tell me this?" Zhan Lingfeng could tell that these people genuinely wanted to convey something important.
With a苦笑 (bitter smile), Bai Chengfeng replied, "Your strength is the reason we want to inform you of the situation because we can no longer wait. If we continue to wait, we will truly have no way out."
At this moment, the old man also said, "Senior, if you listen to me completely, you will understand the situation."
Zhan Lingfeng did not ask any further questions and looked at the old man.
After organizing his thoughts, the old man said, "Actually, whether it is the original world or the new world, or even dividing Cultivation Civilization into Ninth-Level Civilization, all of this is manipulated by a pair of hands. The strong among us do not possess the power to change this, and those hands belong to the Immortal Realm!"
Upon hearing this, Zhan Lingfeng was stunned. He truly did not expect such underlying truths. In Zhan Lingfeng's mind, with his growing strength, he would be able to enter the Immortal Realm and become an immortal, achieving eternal life. Now it seemed that the entire situation had changed somehow, but he did not know what kind of change it was.
Seeing Zhan Lingfeng's shocked expression, Bai Chengfeng said, "Senior, to be honest, when we first learned of your strength, we thought you were someone from the Immortal Realm. It was only when we did not sense any immortal aura from you that we realized you are just like us—still a citizen of the lower realm."
Citizen of the lower realm?
The amount of information today was overwhelming. Zhan Lingfeng quickly analyzed what they had said.
The old man continued, "Senior Zhan, look at this cup of water. Inside it are tea leaves. After brewing, when left alone, this cup of water becomes a dead silence, just like our original world. The levels of Civilization Level have already been determined. We are like those at the top layer who are close to the rim of the cup; in everyone's eyes, we are the closest to the Immortal Realm and only need to jump out to reach it. However, no matter how hard we try, we still cannot truly become immortals because we are merely pawns in someone else's game."
As he said this, he dipped his finger into the cup and stirred it, saying to Zhan Lingfeng, "Do you see? When it has been still for too long, if someone stirs it playfully, the tea leaves will float up, and there will be a strong change in the entire cup of tea."
After waiting for a while until the tea settled again, the old man said, "You see, although there was some change, it quickly returns to its original state."
"Are you saying that we humans are just a group for others to play with?" Zhan Lingfeng finally understood his meaning.
The old man nodded slightly and said, "No matter how hard humans try, they cannot become immortals; this is one of our discoveries."
Bai Chengfeng added, "Moreover, we have discovered another situation. In fact, when our humans cultivate to a certain level and reach what is called the standard for becoming an immortal, that is precisely when they are harvested by immortals. We have received messages from some who have become immortals; the energy within them is referred to as Celestial Crystal, which will be forcibly stripped away and become cultivation resources for those true immortals."
This matter left Zhan Lingfeng astonished; he truly did not expect such things to exist.
"So, are you saying that the ascension of humans to immortality is itself a scam?"
With a bitter smile, Bai Chengfeng said, "It's not entirely a scam. After our research, we found that there are indeed some individuals who have evaded the tracking of immortals and have truly transformed into immortal beings. The key is to be strong enough. Take ginseng, for example; when it becomes spirit ginseng, it transcends the realm of ordinary ginseng. If it is not captured and consumed by humans, after further growth, it will develop Spirit Intelligence. If it can cultivate further, it can achieve a Spirit Body and even ascend to become human, embarking on a more powerful path. Some of our predecessors from the Ninth-Level Civilization have taken this route; they avoided the tracking of immortals and integrated into their world. However, that is a minority; most others have turned into resources for the immortals."
"Senior, the transition between the old and new worlds is essentially the beginning of a harvest. Since we humans from the Ninth-Level Civilization know too much, those above will conduct a reorganization to allow more people to possess cultivation abilities, thereby generating more Celestial Crystals. The reason everyone was able to transition so quickly is that it was all predetermined. Unfortunately, even though we know the truth, we still have to cultivate; otherwise, we would die due to the arrival of old age."
The old man said, "Many people, upon learning the truth, realize they are no match for their opponents but can only force themselves to cultivate, holding onto a glimmer of hope. But how many can truly evade?"
Zhan Lingfeng's eyes narrowed as he said, "Are you telling me that I am now being targeted?"
Everyone looked at Zhan Lingfeng; Bai Chengfeng replied, "You are the strongest person we have seen and a formidable figure we did not encounter in the old world. We do not know how you cultivated; in any case, our Overlord Sect does not possess such capabilities and cannot defeat you. However, we can bring forth even stronger individuals to oppose you."
As he spoke, suddenly the entire Overlord Sect shimmered with light, and everyone sprang into action.
