Chapter 1280: Tears of Life!

"Space turbulence?" Ye Yuan was bewildered, not understanding.

"The Celestial Venerable World is a closed small world, incompatible with the Tongtian Realm. In the Celestial Venerable World, even if one cultivates to the True God realm, one cannot ascend to the Tongtian Realm! Because every Celestial Venerable World has a Lock Realm Gate! This Lock Realm Gate separates the Celestial Venerable World from the Tongtian Realm. Between them is endless space turbulence," said Kunwu.

Ye Yuan was startled and said, "Then did the divine path powerhouses from a hundred thousand years ago all pass through the Lock Realm Gate into the Tongtian Realm?"

A hint of disdain flickered at the corner of Kunwu's mouth. "They did go out through the Lock Realm Gate, but how many of them reached the Tongtian Realm is anyone's guess."

Ye Yuan's eyes widened, finally understanding Kunwu's meaning.

This space turbulence was too terrifying!

A hundred thousand years ago, no fewer than a hundred divine path powerhouses had left the Xianlin Domain.

Although the Heavenly Dao had declined, there were certainly those at the Insight Heaven realm among them.

With such a formidable lineup, Kunwu used the quantifier 'a few,' showing how many would die in the space turbulence!

One must know that those divine path powerhouses were the pinnacle existences of the Xianlin Domain!

Those who survived this space turbulence were less than ten percent!

Seeing Ye Yuan's expression, Kunwu knew he understood and laughed, "Now, do you still want to go to the Tongtian Realm?"

A fierce determination flashed in Ye Yuan's eyes. "No matter how terrifying the space turbulence, it cannot compare to the fear of losing Lingxue! I must venture into the Tongtian Realm. Please, senior, show me the way!"

Kunwu chuckled, "You really are a lovesick fool! But this space turbulence is only the first trial you face! The second condition is the truly difficult one!"

Ye Yuan took a deep breath. "Please speak, senior!"

Kunwu turned serious. "Legend has it that on Mount Tongtian, there is a spring called Tears of Life. It is said that this Tears of Life flows down from the summit of Mount Tongtian. If one takes a single drop, even if only a wisp of consciousness remains, one can be brought back from the dead! According to legend, long, long ago, someone once found this Tears of Life. But that is merely a rumor; no one has ever truly found it. At least, in Xianlin's realm, no one has ever seen it."

Hearing Kunwu's words, Ye Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Senior, even if I have to dig three feet into Mount Tongtian, I will find this Tears of Life!" Ye Yuan said firmly.

Heaven helps those who help themselves; even if there was only a glimmer of hope, he would not give up!

He believed that one day, he would find this Tears of Life.

But his words made Kunwu and Wuchen laugh at the same time.

Ye Yuan was bewildered, not understanding.

Wuchen chuckled, "Kid, you really are fearless because you know nothing! That Mount Tongtian is not something you can dig just because you want to! It is the sacred ground for enlightenment in the Tongtian Realm. Only those who reach the Divine Lord realm and open their inner world can set foot on Mount Tongtian! Otherwise, you will be crushed into meat paste by the rule power of Mount Tongtian! And even a Divine Lord realm expert can only ascend ten li; beyond that, only those who reach the Heavenly God realm can step further. What the Celestial Venerable Xianlin has never seen is at least ten thousand li up! Even if you can cultivate to the Celestial Venerable realm, who knows how many years that will take!"

Ye Yuan gasped, finally realizing the extraordinary nature of Mount Tongtian.

He had previously wondered why the outside world was named after a mountain; now he understood the reason.

Kunwu added, "I forgot to tell you, the Nine Dao Ancestors attained enlightenment above a million li on Mount Tongtian, thereby gaining recognition from one of the rules and becoming Dao Ancestors! Many speculate that if Tears of Life truly exists, it is likely above a million li! But do you think you have any chance of cultivating to become a Dao Ancestor?"

Ye Yuan shuddered, finally understanding why Kunwu said it was nearly impossible!

Because to become the new Dao Ancestor, an old Dao Ancestor must die!

This difficulty is almost as great as ascending to heaven!

Ye Yuan's face instantly turned extremely grim. He suddenly realized that Kun Wu had said so much, but it was all in vain.

"Senior, this... is there really no other way?" Ye Yuan said helplessly.

Kun Wu glanced at him and nodded, "There are two more ways!"

Ye Yuan's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected Kun Wu to suddenly mention two methods!

"Please, speak, Senior!" Ye Yuan's eyes once again showed a glimmer of hope.

Kun Wu sighed and said, "The first method is to ask one of the Dao Ancestors to make a move, to help find the Tears of Life! The second method is to ask the Life Dao Ancestor to act! He has obtained the recognition of the Life Rules. If he is willing to act, he should be able to save this girl. Of course, this is just my speculation! In the Tongtian Realm, the strongest one can meet is the Heavenly Emperor. The Dao Ancestors have not appeared for countless years; no one has ever seen them."

Ye Yuan's mind was in turmoil. These words were almost as good as saying nothing.

These three methods boiled down to one point: a Dao Ancestor must act, or one must reach the realm of Dao Ancestor.

This... was almost impossible.

Seeing Ye Yuan utterly dejected, Kun Wu and Wu Chen exchanged glances, also feeling helpless.

They could see Ye Yuan's feelings for Mu Lingxue, but saving someone with only a wisp of consciousness was far too difficult.

"Give up. This matter is simply impossible for you! In fact, in my view, your chance of passing through the spatial turbulence is almost zero! Just stay and be the ruler of the Immortal Forest Domain!" Kun Wu sighed.

After a long while, Ye Yuan took a deep breath, his emotions seeming to calm down considerably.

Seeing Ye Yuan's expression, Kun Wu and Wu Chen also breathed a sigh of relief.

If Ye Yuan died in the spatial turbulence, the Immortal Forest Domain would once again become a masterless Celestial Lord world.

Before long, it would completely decline.

They had a close relationship with the Immortal Forest Celestial Lord and naturally did not want to see this happen.

"Senior, please tell me the method to pass through the Boundary Locking Gate!" Ye Yuan said with a firm gaze.

Kun Wu and the other were astonished, thinking they had misheard.

They had already explained the stakes very clearly, yet Ye Yuan remained obstinate.

For a woman, to take a completely impossible path, risking death at any moment—this was simply incomprehensible.

The experts of the Tongtian Realm were not something an ant from a Celestial Lord world could casually speculate about!

Even if Ye Yuan controlled the Immortal Forest Domain, he was still at the very bottom in the Tongtian Realm!

Even if Ye Yuan was exceptionally talented in the Immortal Forest Domain, once in the Tongtian Realm, even a dragon must coil!

"You must think this through!" Kun Wu said sternly.

Ye Yuan's face showed unprecedented determination. He nodded and said, "I have thought it through very clearly! If saving Lingxue requires becoming a Dao Ancestor, then I will become the tenth Dao Ancestor of the Tongtian Realm!"
