Chapter 235: Ascending the Heavenly Path
Yun Ye set up formations and entered closed-door cultivation.
With little time left before entering the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect, he needed to start his final training—ascending the Heavenly Path!
Without ascending the Heavenly Path, further cultivation would be too difficult. Yun Ye could not simply remain stagnant while facing the Great Way.
He closed his eyes.
He activated the Origin Law.
The ascending bloodline began to revive, and hazy spiritual light emanated from his heart, rising towards the sky to construct the Heavenly Path.
When he opened his eyes again, Yun Ye found himself in another space-time, standing face to face with his physical body.
Time seemed to be almost frozen.
His movements were extremely slow.
The Heavenly Path is the path of consciousness, and the speed of thought is naturally very fast. When Yun Ye ascended the Heavenly Path in his previous life, it took a long time, but only a few seconds passed in the outside world.
Yun Ye turned around and stepped onto the Heavenly Path.
In that moment,
The White Mist enveloped him, and a beam of light spread from within the mist, resembling a door.
This scene was remarkably similar to the trial checkpoint at the Gate of Heaven of the Crescent Moon.
In the past, Yun Ye had no idea what that represented.
But after walking the Heavenly Path, Yun Ye understood; it was something created by the Gate of Heaven of the Crescent Moon to mimic the Heavenly Path, with some similarities but lacking its unique effects.
Yun Ye walked into the light.
As the light suddenly dimmed, Yun Ye arrived at a desolate battlefield. The setting sun fell, and countless weapons exuding a terrifying aura lay scattered around. Blood stained the entire ground, filling the air with a sense of foreboding.
Figures stood tall, presenting scenes from the past.
Yun Ye could not see clearly, but the most recent figure was visible to him. It was a faceless being, with an ordinary presence, small in stature and covered in hair, even carrying something on its back.
"The first practitioner."
"Beginning of the immortal path."
"‘Void’."
In his third life, Yun Ye had come here before. After defeating the force represented by this figure, he could learn its specific information.
This was the earliest recorded practitioner in the world’s rules!
She represented…
The first pioneer of Physical Law!
She embodied the starting point of the human race’s talent for the immortal path!
Her name was "Void," a figure not recorded in history, who predates even the earliest myths!
Yun Ye took a step closer to the figure, which seemed to sense his presence, also taking a step forward. As they drew nearer, the figure became increasingly clear, revealing its true form.
This was a woman with a primal appearance, even sporting sharp teeth. Her arms were thick as she wielded a large club, roaring powerfully as she charged forward.
Although this is a different language, it can all be understood within the Heavenly Path.
“Burning Blood!”
Her blood ignited, consuming her vitality just like the revival of Spiritual Roots.
But it drastically deteriorated, with the amplification effect being very low, and using it two or three times in a row would likely lead to death.
Yun Ye merely glanced at her, and with a surge of his aura, the woman flew away, bursting into white smoke.
As the earliest practitioner, this woman represented the lowest talent of the human race, so her combat power was naturally weak.
She possessed neither Spirit Law nor Spiritual Roots, having only slightly stronger physique than an ordinary person.
One could say she was incredibly weak, even inferior to common monsters.
Yun Ye took a step forward, approaching the second figure.
Likewise, the figure revived, presenting a past pioneer, crossing history to clash with Yun Ye.
This time it was a man, which surprised Yun Ye, as this person was different from the one he encountered in his third life.
In his third life, he met a woman here at the second figure, whose introduction read:
“The first life force awakener.”
“Starting point of Physical Law.”
“‘Fish’.”
Yun Ye waved his hand, easily defeating the second figure.
Information surfaced.
“Created the awakening technique, formed the prototype for Spiritual Roots revival.”
“Pioneer of Spiritual Law.”
“‘Bone’.”
Countless images flashed by, depicting a tribe that endured countless years, through generations of hunting, growing, and sacrificing, finally digging deep into the power within their bloodline and developing it systematically.
A robust man extended his arms, sharing the experiences of the awakening technique, worshipped by everyone in the tribe.
One was the first life force awakener, and the other was the pioneer of Spiritual Law.
Based on Yun Ye’s speculation, Physical Law should be the first created among the Three Great Heavenly Paths, while Spiritual Law was the last.
In other words, ‘Bone’ is stronger than ‘Fish’ because his era is closer to Yun Ye’s, having already developed Qi Cultivation Techniques and other cultivation methods, enabling a more systematic enhancement of strength.
This is the difference in luck; everyone faces different opponents.
The earlier encounters were fine; no matter who it was, they were weak.
But further on, there is a high chance of encountering geniuses that one cannot defeat regardless, even with the same talent. Due to the differences in eras, the manifested strength can be drastically different.
Yun Ye walked toward the third figure.
This is the first trial of ascending the Heavenly Path; the further one progresses, the closer they get to the limits of human talent in history.
In his third life, Yun Ye only defeated the eighth figure, receiving the evaluation from the Heavenly Path: a genius of a region.
The first figure, with the weakest talent, is at a level anyone could defeat.
The second figure had extremely weak talent, representing the beginning, and could be defeated by anyone.
The third figure had ordinary talent, common and found everywhere.
With each figure Yun Ye advanced, the talent increased, continuing until reaching the limit of human talent.
Yun Ye moved forward.
The third figure emerged, also a woman, but this time she appeared much more refined, no longer wild like a primitive person.
The woman donned animal skins, her body adorned with various strange patterns, and as she roared, her entire being turned red, white mist continuously emanating from her, and faintly, a Physical Law star ring appeared.
“Burning Blood!”
Again, it was Burning Blood, but the woman’s power exceeded that of the previous two figures by several times, marking a significant leap.
This woman had created a star ring, her power evolving, allowing her to use Burning Blood multiple times without dying.
However, she was still very weak, and Yun Ye defeated her once more.
“Creator of Physical Law.”
“Founder of Physical Law.”
“‘Blue Fish’.”
The Blue Fish was a descendant of fish, but many generations later. Upon realizing the path ahead was at an end, she created Physical Law, transforming a large amount of life force into meridians to enhance her combat power.
This third figure had already reached the level of an ordinary being in today’s era.
Then, the fourth figure appeared. As soon as she emerged, the star ring empowered herself, showcasing the perfect strength of Physical Law.
“The first, perfect practitioner of Physical Law.”
“‘Red’.”
The images revealed many years gone by, with countless human tribes perishing.
One tribe, bordering a sea of red flowers, was led by a chief named ‘Red’. This tribe was wealthy and had no worries for food, with the chief continuously refining her life force, eventually covering her body with meridians until she could no longer increase it.
That was the perfection of Physical Law; she was the first perfect practitioner of Physical Law in human history.
In his last life, Yun Ye had also encountered the same person.
“A place full of talent.”
This was the level of talent represented by the fourth figure, still very ordinary, but already beginning to surpass most ordinary beings.
Then, the fifth figure appeared, defeated by Yun Ye, revealing information.
“First creator of Source Law.”
“First spiritual realm cultivator.”
“‘Seventeen Generations·Red’.”
This time, the figure possessed ascending bloodline, greatly enhancing her talent to the level of a ‘genius’.
With the increase in talent, her strength also soared.
Just like Spiritual Roots, the higher the talent, the stronger the effect of the same Physical Law.
Seventeen Generations·Red had already broken into the spiritual realm, but when battling Yun Ye, her strength was suppressed back to the Mortal Realm, so she was still easily defeated by Yun Ye.
