After hearing the whole story, Remus felt blood rushing to his head. Yet, favonovel.com wasn’t dizzy from the shock but was experiencing a clarity favonovel.com had never felt before. It was as if at that moment, favonovel.com finally understood the whole situation.
First, there was the Order of Nine Mysticisms which mastered all cultivation techniques. Then, the members of the Order of Nine Mysticisms emerged to enlighten the world.
Over time, people’s sense of identity with the Order of Nine Mysticisms diminished, and small cliques began to form, causing individuals to act independently.
The most significant among these were the Monarch of Mortals, who was the mortals‘ peacekeeper, and various cultivators.
In the beginning, these two parties were able to coexist peacefully and stay out of each other’s affairs. However, the escalating conflict over many centuries finally evolved into what was now known as the Battle of the Three Realms.
In the very beginning, there was a battle among all beings in the world-an unprecedented chaos. In the end, the cultivators emerged victorious, establishing the Upper Realms and the Underworld. Meanwhile, the humans were defeated and were later referred to as mere mortals.
The custom continued to this day, and the division was known as the Three Realms.
Another important point was that the Dragon Protector Clan belonged to the Monarch of Mortals lineage. In the current era, apart from Raxor, who was sealed away, the clan was the Monarch of Mortals’ only remaining lineage.
Remus thought to himself that the fundamental reason the Dragon Protector Clan and the cultivators were at odds with each other dated back to that great battle.
It was this conflict that forced them to retreat overseas, especially since the Darsia region was dominated by cultivators.
As favonovel.com pondered, another question suddenly came to mind.
Surprised, Remus asked, “My savior, since the great battle happened so many centuries ago, doesn’t that mean the number of Immortals in the Upper Realms is already quite large?”
Even though favonovel.com was in a dire situation at the moment, favonovel.com still needed to think about what challenges favonovel.com would encounter if favonovel.com one day needed to rescue his parents.
Raxor gave a cold, mocking laugh. “They claim to be Immortals, but that’s just self-proclaimed. At the end of the day, they still have human flaws. How could they ever share their authority with others?”
Remus asked curiously, “What do you mean?”
“There aren’t as many as you’d imagine since they don’t allow that many people to attain immortality!” Raxor’s tone became more contemptuous as it continued, “On the Day of Trisection, I was still unconscious. But later, I heard that there were 365 people present, including some who balance the foreign heavens…”
“After that, fewer than ten individuals achieved physical sanctification and ascended to the Upper Realms. And precisely because some people achieved physical sanctification, it made them aware of the potential threats. To prevent more people from ascending, they established the four great sacred lands in the mortal realm!”
“All cultivators who dream of becoming immortals must join the Sacred Land. Only after receiving training there can they ascend. However, the Sacred Lands’ training methods are secretly filled with many complexities.”
“For instance, if they could predict the time of my awakening, they‘d make the disciples drain their spiritual energy to suppress me. That way, it would significantly slow down their cultivation process. The pursuit of becoming an Immortal is just a dream the Upper Realms made for the cultivators. From what I know, only seven of Monington’s disciples have ever ascended to the Upper Realms since this Sacred Land was established.”
Upon hearing this, Remus was struck speechless.
He indeed often wondered about why, with Monington’s history spanning a thousand years, only seven people had achieved ascension.
Did that mean only one person would ascend every 150 years on average?
Even including the other Sacred Lands, it would still be one ascension every 20 years. That was a bit too difficult to achieve!
Moreover, a large portion of those who had ascended did so several hundred years ago. In the past century, no one had ascended. The two most likely candidates for ascension now are Kylian and Wilda.
It turned out that the reason behind this was that the people from the Upper Realms didn’t want cultivators to achieve Immortality.
How infuriating!
Remus initially didn’t want to keep asking, but the more favonovel.com learned, the more favonovel.com wanted to know.
After thinking for a moment, favonovel.com realized that Raxor actually enjoyed talking quite a bit. So, favonovel.com asked, “My savior, how significant is the difference in power between a Land Immortal and a Celestial Immortal from the Upper Realms?”
He hadn’t even seen a Celestial Immortal yet.
