In the previous life on Earth, cultivators were generally divided into five levels: Foundation Establishment Stage, Foundation Stage, Golden Core Stage, Nirvana Stage, and the Great Ascension Stage. These five levels of cultivators correspond to different tiers. Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage were commonly referred to as Loose Immortals, while those at the Foundation Stage were known as Earth Immortals.
Upon reaching the Golden Core Stage, one could be called a True Immortal on the Ground. These three types of cultivators were all given the title of immortals, but it was not as exaggerated as it seemed; there was an insurmountable gap between them and the true immortals living in the Nine Heavens.
In that Final Age, true immortals rarely descended to the mortal realm. Nature had unbreakable laws that separated the immortal realm from the mortal world and hell, known as the Six Paths of Reincarnation, each with its own distinct system.
The definition of cultivators on the Ground was based on their aspiration for the power of immortals. Generally speaking, a cultivator at the Foundation Stage already possessed considerable strength. For Ye Feng, with his Innate Spirit Summoning Technique at the third level, he was merely at the initial stage of Foundation Stage strength.
This was already equivalent to the power of martial artists in the Divine Martial Continent's Gangwu Realm! If one reached the Golden Core Stage, they would be even more powerful and could essentially be called a Martial Saint. Even in Ye Feng's previous life, there were not many cultivators at the Golden Core Stage!
However, none of this was enough to astonish Ye Feng. What truly shocked him was hearing about this Echo in the Mural World that had actually reached the level of External Incarnation!
Ye Feng found it hard to believe because achieving External Incarnation was far beyond merely being at Golden Core Stage! External Incarnation refers to creating an Avatar separate from one's main body. This Avatar possesses abilities similar to those of the main body and has its own consciousness and thoughts.
It is not merely a subordinate of the main body but rather a genuine creation of a second Clone Body. Although this Clone Body's strength is not as formidable as that of the true main body, it is still quite impressive. In Ye Feng's impression, only those who reached the legendary Transcendence Stage could cultivate an External Incarnation!
Transcendence Stage Cultivators have transcended human laws and possess power that could dominate a planet; thus, Nirvana Stage is also defined as Supreme True Immortal!
However, if this were merely the case, it would not leave Ye Feng speechless. In his previous life on Earth, although there were few experts at Nirvana Stage, they did exist. However, this Echo not only mentioned External Incarnation but also spoke of Shattered Void!
Shattered Void refers to a cultivator's power being so immense that it causes tremors in heaven and earth; a space can no longer accommodate such a Divine Being. As a result, cultivators must break open this space and ascend to a higher realm!
This is where Shattered Void and Ascend in Broad Daylight come from! To reach this level requires attaining what is generally defined as the highest and most profound realm among cultivators—the Great Ascension Stage!
There was once an immortal named Lu Dongbin who explained the Great Ascension Stage in five lines:
"Marvelous within marvelous,
Mysterious within mysterious.
Words express the Dao,
Silence transcends immortals.
In hands like pearls,
In sky like a full moon.
When one’s merit is complete,
They ascend directly to the Great Luo Heaven!"
These lines vividly interpret the definition of Shattered Void for cultivators at the Great Ascension Stage! Anyone who can reach such a level would likely surpass even experts in the Divine Martial Realm within this Divine Martial Continent!
The legendary realm of legends was beyond what Ye Feng could imagine. However, for some reason, after a moment of overwhelming shock, he did not doubt Echo's words! He instinctively believed this individual known as Haotian Shura True Monarch was indeed a cultivator at the Great Ascension stage.
Given this fact, Ye Feng let down all his defenses. This was not out of affection for cultivators but rather because he understood that against such a figure, all his caution was laughable!
If the other party wished, a single glance would be enough to obliterate him!
"Senior Powerful Being, I apologize for my rudeness! I hope you can forgive me!" Ye Feng took a deep breath, calming his inner excitement. All his previous misunderstandings about the Mural World vanished. In such a miraculous space, if it weren't for the presence of a true Divine Sect like this one,
it would truly be unbelievable!
Echo, who seemed to be floating without a discernible form, noticed Ye Feng suddenly change demeanor and chuckled knowingly, "Kid, you're interesting. What’s wrong? Are you scared by my name? However, in this lowly world, no one should know my title!"
Ye Feng remained silent. He had indeed never heard of Haotian Shura True Monarch's name, but he understood the hierarchy of cultivators well enough; that was sufficient!
Echo continued with a laugh, "No need to be nervous. As I mentioned earlier, since we share the same lineage, bringing you into this world is to reveal some secrets to you. You need not doubt my intentions. Having been trapped here for ten thousand years and finally meeting a fellow countryman, consider it your lucky break!"
There was too much information in these words for Ye Feng to grasp all at once. He was suddenly startled upon hearing the term "trapped," and couldn't help but ask, "Senior, are you saying that you are trapped in this space? Is the secret of Titan's Abyss truly so terrifying that it can confine you?"
A cultivator at the Great Ascension stage could indeed be called a True Immortal! This had already surpassed the Loose Immortals from Ye Feng's past life on Earth; whether Earth Immortal or Supreme True Immortal, none could be considered true immortals in the real sense. But a Great Ascension cultivator who shattered the void and ascended was no different from a genuine immortal!
He could not fathom what kind of confinement could cause Haotian Shura True Monarch to be trapped willingly.
Echo seemed to understand Ye Feng's confusion but disdainfully replied, "Of course no one can confine me! Those uncivilized giants in this Underground Palace may possess divine strength, yet they are inherently slow-witted and foolish. Heaven is fair; it grants them unparalleled power,
but also gives them fatal flaws! To tell you the truth, this Underground Palace was built with my assistance; however, my intentions were not benevolent. I merely exploited humanity's greatest psychological weakness to help them walk down the path of destruction!"
"What do you mean by that?" Ye Feng was bewildered and completely confused by Echo's words. He thought that since Echo was the creator of this Underground Palace's divine phenomena, why would he claim to lead the giants toward their own destruction?
Echo seems to possess the ability to see through people's hearts, or perhaps he never intended to hide these secrets. He directly said, "Kid, you must have understood the history I showed you earlier. This so-called Ancient Demon God Titan race is born with the favor of the Creator!"
"Their brute force is invincible. Let me put it this way: even those immortals from the Ancient Era who are at a similar level as me would have no chance of winning if they confronted them directly. They also have a nickname called Godslayer!"
"Godslayer? So terrifying?" Ye Feng widened his eyes. If he already considered cultivators at the Great Ascension stage to be rampant in the Three Thousand Great Worlds, then Echo's words completely overturned his understanding!
So there are beings even more powerful than immortals?
Echo continued to explain, "It is indeed terrifying, but not something to fear. Don't forget, humanity's most powerful weapon has never been their cultivation level, but their brains. As the Lord of All Spirits, during that Ancient Era, those who reached a certain level in cultivation were all old monsters!"
"They kill and play schemes like children playing house, without expending much effort, they can manipulate some Titan Race beings who may possess divine power but are inherently Idiot at their fingertips, and I am one of them!"
His words carried a chilling tone. Ye Feng shivered, feeling a chill down his neck. He could almost imagine how the Titan Race, who encountered gods and killed gods and met Buddhas and killed Buddhas in the Ancient Era, were led into a trap by a group of powerful immortals and perished completely!
This means that the current Echo, who built this Underground Palace, does not have such pure intentions! He recalled what was said before—that this Echo's master helped the Titan Race construct this Underground Palace. However, according to his words, it was not out of goodwill but rather malice?
Analyzing this, the greatest secret within this Underground Palace might very well be how the Titan Race walked towards their own destruction.
"Very clever! You guessed right. This Underground Palace is meant to lure them in while sealing them away. In our cultivators' secret methods of confinement, their immense power cannot be unleashed and will be eroded over thousands of years until they can no longer dominate the continent!"
Ye Feng felt a lump in his throat and a chill throughout his body. He had to admit that both conspiracies and open schemes are sometimes humanity's most terrifying weapons! Even if one cannot match an enemy in terms of cultivation level, there are still many ways to eliminate an opponent who is several times stronger!
This aspect of human nature may be why for the past ten thousand years, the Three Thousand Great Worlds has ultimately been ruled by humanity!
Take the example of the Divine Martial Continent: although the powerful demon race invasion brought terrible disasters to the human world, did they not ultimately fall? One of the Eighteen Shura Kings, Shura Demon King Lu Tong, likely possessed power beyond that of the Divine Martial Realm,
Yet he was still sealed by several cultivators at the Golden Core Stage. Even if he were to emerge three years later, he could never erase the fact that he had once failed!
This alone explains many issues!
Ye Feng felt a chill in his heart, but he also understood that this was an unavoidable problem. He did not ask Echo why they treated the Titan Race this way at that time, whether it was because their status was threatened or simply out of jealousy.
In any case, this question was not important. The key point was, what methods did the owner of Echo use to achieve this?
Echo quickly began to speak to itself: "Actually, it wasn't difficult. That group of mindless giants only knew how to kill and eat at that time. They possessed immense power but could not utilize it perfectly. The only thing they found difficult was dealing with the wind and rain; the disasters caused by nature were beyond their control."
"You must understand that even the most savage races, as long as they are not made of stone, still enjoy life at their core. However, they lacked intelligence and could only hide in caves, unable to even make fire. At that moment, we descended upon them."
"We taught them how to use fire. In their grateful yet still hostile state, we helped them build comfortable homes, gradually wearing down their defenses until they completely submitted to us. Sometimes, trust is about benefits; we could provide them with advantages."
"So why wouldn't they listen to us? Thus, a few Fellow Immortals and I devised an Underground Palace Plan, which was their own burial plan. By combining their brute strength with our wisdom, within just a hundred years, they disappeared from the continent."
"Tell me, isn't that interesting?" Echo said at the end with a satisfied smile, as if still proud of its past masterpiece. Ye Feng felt a chill in his heart upon hearing this. He did not sympathize with those pitiful Titans; from the previous historical context,
he could see that those Titans were not good beings. Even without the invasion of the demon race, they were still crazily slaughtering all living creatures on the continent. Anything they could kill belonged to them, and this was no less than what the Ancient Demon God would do!
