Chapter 708: The Pearl of Human History

"It was worth it! It was worth it! Haha, wait, no, they lost a lot!"

He Shiguang laughed foolishly.

Forget the brilliant battle of the Divine Monarch; he truly never expected this matter to attract the Divine Empress’s attention.

Being able to personally witness this great being made him feel that returning to the Red Heaven realm was worthwhile no matter what; those who didn’t come truly lost out!

"Adjustment complete!"

Tiankai’s projection reappeared, surrounded by countless radiant ribbons of light, her power elevating to its utmost.

Because of this reason, the opponent for the seventh-stage Heavenly Path had yet to appear, continually changing, suggesting it wasn’t something that could be completed quickly.

The Heavenly Path’s phantom awaited Tiankai to fully master her power before it could assess her and summon the corresponding historical figure.

During this time, everyone finally had the leisure to pay attention to others.

The most astonishing figure earlier was perhaps Shui Chonghuang, who had repeatedly encountered the head of Tomorrow Society. Yet these leaders were merely pioneers; while significant, their strength was far inferior to today’s great talents. Only Ming Waiyang, utilizing the Force of Freedom, nearly defeated Shui Chonghuang.

As they reached the sixth-stage Heavenly Path, aside from Tiankai, the most eye-catching figure became Xi Que.

She battled the Countless True Immortals in her youth and emerged victorious. Previously, everyone had been too focused on the Divine Monarch and overlooked her, but now she began to shine again.

The battle was exhilarating; two great talents clashed. Although the Countless True Immortals lacked her innate talent, they possessed many opportunities from that era, and even in defeat, they exhibited remarkable prowess.

Then, the brilliant past of the Countless True Immortals came to light!

It was a time measured by the battles fought by the two immortals in the outer heavens, leaving the human race vulnerable during the Spirit Law era.

During this period, the Red Heaven realm shattered into several large continents due to the battle between two true immortals, roughly seven in total. Each continent had an extremely harsh environment, barely allowing even demons to survive, let alone humans. Consequently, the human race faced near extinction, losing all their inheritance.

Among the seven continents, only one was unique, preserved by remnants of time, forming a special environment that forever halted in the Chaotic Dawn.

This continent is none other than the Morning Continent, one of the Nine Continents!

The environment of Morning Continent retained a small part and, starting from that day, became enveloped by a powerful spiritual dimension, preventing storms from the Boundary Sea from invading.

While this environment wasn’t the only one that allowed the human race to survive, it was the most suitable for their development.

Throughout Morning Continent, spiritual bodies wandered everywhere. Upon death, individuals transformed into souls, continuing to teach future generations, allowing humanity to thrive and develop civilization again.

Such a special environment enabled rapid development of Spirit Law, as powerful cultivators established the Morning Kingdom, creating a region that could barely be considered pure land.

Only a mere ten thousand years passed, and a great cultivator named Hengliang was born. Initially, he had no impressive innate talent and hadn’t even reached the sixth-stage level. However, as he practiced, his talent constantly improved, and through various opportunities, he began altering his fate.

The Heavenly Path only captured him during his Mystic Realm period, which could not represent his talent level when he achieved the Royal Path.

When Hengliang was born, the kingdom faced threats from demons, existing in peril. As a naturally precocious child, he diligently trained, aiming to become the human king and protect humanity’s highest goal.

Unfortunately, in this process, Hengliang encountered many setbacks, related to both innate talent and human misfortune, which gradually disheartened him.

The entire human race had developed for ten thousand years, which felt too long. Various dark elements interwove, and the human king utilized Dao Artifacts to enact rules beneficial to his rule, continually suppressing the lower classes. Hengliang naturally fell among them, receiving little recognition.

Years later, Hengliang’s perspective shifted, and he began to learn various means, abandoning his principles solely to advance. Eventually, he began achieving high-speed growth!

During an exploration of ruins, he obtained a wealth of Rare Treasures, elevating his innate talent to new heights.

Following hundreds of years of hard training, he reached the realm of "Ninth Turn," qualifying him as a great cultivator of the human race, directly entering the upper echelon of the Morning Kingdom.

But he did not plan to stop there.

After a millennium of reinterpretation, the human race’s Spirit Law system has reached a national destruction level, but the cultivation methods are still too crude, leading to painfully slow growth.

He could not wait!

In this era, although the human race is free from the shadow of span of heaven rules, they also lack the longevity advantages that many other races possess.

Humans are too fragile; without cultivation, living to a hundred is the limit. The extended lifespan gained through cultivation is also limited, unlike many demons who are born with lifespans of ten thousand years or even some uniquely gifted races that achieve immortality. They have plenty of time to accumulate power and are not in a hurry, but humans cannot afford that.

Practicing Spirit Law does not greatly increase lifespan; imitating demons does not work. A new path must be forged!

From then on, Hengliang began to contemplate a new way.

Everyone in the world knew that he succeeded; he opened up a brand new path of Spirit Law and achieved the status of a True Immortal. Henceforth, he stood high above, immortal and unchanging, even the span of heaven rules could not affect him.

However, everyone wanted to know the details. Although the Countless True Immortals had already appeared and been recorded in books, they were eager to see it again.

The most important part was the sense of participation; it was a grand event, much more interesting than any performance.

Even after countless rewatches, it never grows tiresome; it is epic, and deeply engaging—this is the story of humanity’s rise in Red Heaven.

In the scene,

Hengliang summarized the strengths and weaknesses of Spirit Law. He believed that enhancing the soul is much harder than enhancing the body, and relying solely on oneself is too difficult.

The human race’s Mortal Realm, spiritual realm, and law realms have already laid a good foundation, allowing humans to catch up to the naturally gifted demons.

However, the subsequent realms entirely mimic the demons, forcibly increasing the total amount of Spirit Sense while pushing the body to adapt, eventually achieving a qualitative change through quantitative accumulation.

This method is feasible, but it is not suitable for humans. At most, it could reach national destruction but then lacks the strength to continue. This still assumes that all resources of the entire Morning Kingdom are consumed by one person to produce a national destruction-level cultivator; one can imagine how wasteful such a method of cultivation is.

Using Spirit Sense to force the body to adapt is unsustainable without massive resource support. If a great deal of resources is used to enhance the body, only a sufficiently strong body can bear the Spirit Sense, yet humans struggle with Physical Law, lacking corresponding techniques and resources.

Morning Continent is the land of Spirit Law, filled with Spiritual Particles everywhere, with many great medicines considered Spirit Law medicines; however, Physical Law medicines are exceedingly rare.

"We must carve out a new path that allows humans to achieve invincible Spirit Sense without needing to enhance their bodies!"

Young Hengliang murmured.

At five hundred years old, he was at the death date of law realm cultivators in modern times, but for Hengliang’s era, his life was just beginning, and he still had plenty of time!

His words awakened all the cultivators watching the replay: "So, the one who created the Mystic Realm spell was the Countless True Immortals!"

The Mystic Realm spell in contemporary times seems to require the Mystic Heaven dimension, but the essence of this spell is to open up energy space in other dimensional realms, utilizing characteristics of different dimensions to disregard space and time, thereby storing vast amounts of energy and transcending the limitations of the body.

Even without the Mystic Heaven, cultivators can find other dimensions, which are too numerous to count, and it doesn’t affect anything. Therefore, the method of this realm should more accurately be termed "Limitless Techniques."

"The techniques created by the Countless True Immortals directly laid the foundation for the cultivation system of countless years afterward!"

"To this day, we continue to practice Limitless Techniques!"

"His achievements are unfathomable; it’s unfortunate that the past cannot be turned into eternity."

Every Monarch represents the pinnacle of their era, creating astonishing techniques, while every True Immortal opened up heaven and earth, influencing one era after another. In their stories, how remarkable and spirited they were, they truly are a shining pearl in the history of humanity.

Many lamented that if they had not become True Immortals, they would have been the great sages of all time.

After the story of the Countless True Immortals replayed,

Tiankai finally organized all her power, and her opponent took shape, a hazy figure emerging from the White Mist, exuding an imposing aura.

"Seventh-stage Heavenly Path, cultivation level ‘spiritual realm,’ talent ‘peerless,’ trials begin."

"End of the Spirit Law era cultivator, ‘Divine Fate!’"
