Chapter 283: Creator
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“You, you are?!”
The Sect Master of the Plague Imperial Palace looked at the young man beside him in disbelief. His heart was instantly filled with fear, and his entire body trembled.
Cui Heng’s aura had yet to dissipate.
This alone was enough to scare a Sage out of his wits and make him lose the mood to resist.
Not to mention that he had just grabbed someone from tens of thousands of kilometers away.!!
However, the Sect Master of the Plague Imperial Palace was a Sage after all and had been respected for thousands of years. Even though he was filled with fear, he could still barely maintain his composure and size up his surroundings from the corner of his eye.
Then, he was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed to Star God Chongyang beside him. “Star Venerable, so you’re here too.”
The Sect Master of the Plague Imperial Palace knew the Chongyang Star God.
In his heart, this Peak Sixth Realm existence was one of the strongest experts in the myriad worlds and starry sky, standing above all Sages.
No matter how powerful this young man who had captured him was, he should be at most on par with the Chongyang Star God.
As long as the Chongyang Star God could speak up for him, he should be fine.
However, just as the Sect Master of the Plague Imperial Palace wanted to continue getting close to the Chongyang Star God, the ancient Star God hurriedly waved his hand and said, “Sage Zhu, with Exalted Immortal around, there’s no need to bow a Little God like to me.”
The Sect Master of the Plague Imperial Palace was called Zhu Changsheng. When he heard the words of the Chongyang Star God, he was stunned on the spot. He turned to look at Cui Heng in shock and confusion, his face filled with disbelief.
Exalted Immortal?
Little God?
Am I crazy? I actually heard this Peak Sixth Realm Chongyang Star God call himself a Little God?!
Could it be that this young man who had captured him was a powerful existence who had stepped into the Requesting Realm?!
However, even if he was only a relatively powerful Sage King, there was no difference in realm. Why was the Chongyang Star God so humble?
Or was this… an existence at the Seventh Realm of the Immortal World?
How was this possible? Ever since the collapse of the Heavens, there were still Creators who had stepped into the Seventh Realm of the Immortal World?!
This was too ridiculous!
How many years had it been since a Creator appeared in the vast universe and starry skies?
Now, one had appeared in front of him just like that?
Cui Heng saw Zhu Changsheng looking over and nodded with a smile. “Don’t worry, I don’t have any ill intentions towards you. I just want to ask you some things.”
At the same time, he raised his hand and pointed forward. He created a floating pavilion out of thin air and brought Zhu Changsheng over.
It was better to have a place to talk.
Cui Heng did not have any ill intentions towards the Sect Master of the Plague Imperial Palace.
Of course, he did not have a good impression of him.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have used the Xiantian Grabbing Technique to invite him over.
However, it was not to that extent that he wanted to take the other party’s life.
“Void Creation!” Zhu Changsheng exclaimed as he looked at the floating pavilion in shock.
Now, he was finally completely convinced of his previous guess.
Creator!
He was really a Creator of the Seventh Realm!
Zhu Changsheng’s eyes flickered as many thoughts appeared in his mind. His thousands of years of experience flashed before his eyes like a lantern.
In the end, he could only smile bitterly in resignation. “I understand. You’re the Creator who came to question me, right? These zombies are the results of our research over the years.”
“Oh?” Cui Heng raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this. Zhu Changsheng’s answer was completely beyond his expectations, and it also made him feel an unexpected joy. He smiled and said, “Continue.”
“The last time, a Sage King descended. This time, it’s actually a Creator. This is really…” Zhu Changsheng seemed to have given up struggling and said dejectedly, “It’s been 120,000 years. In the end, I still can’t escape.
However, before I die, I want to ask why you passed down the cultivation method with the Immortal True Essence as the core. Do you really want to harvest us as materials?
But the Heavens have long collapsed. The former Purple Sun Heaven has also become the current Purple Sun Realm. There’s no longer the matter of the Immortal Heaven’s decree, and the Sage Kings at the Requesting Realm no longer have a place to ascend. This cultivation method is no longer valuable.
Why can’t we spread the true cultivation method? Or do we have to use ourselves as materials to cultivate? Creator, I want to ask, why?!”
Towards the end, he was very agitated and even his voice was shouting.
“…” This time, Cui Heng fell silent.
The series of information that Zhu Changsheng suddenly revealed were all things that he had come into contact with but did not understand.
This was a huge treasure!
As expected of an ancient inheritance that had existed for 120,000 years.
He had picked up a treasure.
After Zhu Changsheng finished venting, he saw that Cui Heng did not speak, so he did not continue asking.
This reaction was what he had expected.
Why would a high and mighty Creator care about a mere Sage like him?
Hence, he closed his eyes and said indifferently, “These zombies are defective goods that we refined into Immortal Bodies. They can only rely on the Sage Armament, Immortal Miasma, to achieve an Immortal Body.
“The only person we’ve really succeeded in nurturing is Gao Shouxin, who’s currently fighting. This is the essence of our 120,000 years of research. He’s a Sage who doesn’t have any Immortal True Essence…”
Zhu Changsheng continued to say a lot.
He seemed to be in complete despair. Facing a Seventh Realm Creator, he could not resist at all.
The difference was too great.
Cui Heng listened quietly at the side. At the same time, he sorted out the key information and compared it with the information he had learned from the Chongyang Star God.
The Plague Imperial Palace was originally not an independent sect, but a branch of a larger sect.
A long time ago, this sect had discovered that there was a problem with the cultivation method with the Immortal True Essence as the core.
From then on, the Plague Imperial Palace had been under the orders of the Sect Master to study how to bypass the Immortal True Essence to refine the Immortal Body.
This period could even be traced back to before the collapse of the Heavens.
However, because it had been too long, the main sect of the Plague Imperial Palace had long been buried in the dust of history.
The Plague Imperial Palace itself had suffered a calamity 120,000 years ago. Its inheritance was almost completely severed, and only a few books and Sages escaped to Chongyang Star.
Therefore, the previous history and research successes were already difficult to investigate.
After coming to Chongyang Star, the Plague Imperial Palace continued to study the Immortal Body. In the beginning, they even followed some rules.
However, as the old man’s influence faded, this research became even more crazy.
However, it was this crazy research method that allowed the Plague Imperial Palace to find an opportunity to succeed.
In the end, they used that battle to jump out of the center of the conflict and studied for 3,000 years before finally coming up with a way to bypass the Immortal True Essence and refine an Immortal Body.
That was to fix life in a dead state, yet let the dead person still have intelligence and a complete soul.
This required a huge transformation of the body. At the same time, the soul would be imprisoned in the dead body. On this basis, the death energy would be used as the connection between the body and the soul. Finally, the three would be fused together with a secret technique to stabilize the body and soul in this dead state.
This way, even if his body was shattered and his soul was completely torn apart, he would return to this constant state of death and it could be considered a different kind of undying body.
However, if this kind of Immortal Body wanted to exist, it needed an endless stream of Death Qi, which was the countless zombies that Gao Shouxin brought.
These zombies were essentially modified corpses, but their souls were imprisoned in the Sage Armament “Immortal Miasma” to connect with the zombies.
As long as the Sage Armament was not destroyed, these zombies would not be destroyed. They could always provide death energy to maintain Gao Shouxin’s Immortal Body.
With the Immortal Body, he only needed to cultivate to the Limitless Golden Immortal and Myriad Techniques Return to One Realm step by step.
This was the essence of Gao Shouxin’s “Corpse Dao”.
However, the Plague Imperial Palace discovered that this cultivation method was also not good.
Although he had bypassed the Immortal True Essence and successfully broken through to the Sage realm, the source of the Death Qi was another problem.
There was only one Immortal Miasma, and it could only be used to support the Death Qi of a Sage.
Their research had reached another dead end.
Therefore, at the beginning, Zhu Changsheng said that Gao Shouxin was “their most successful experiment…”
It worked, but not completely.
This was actually one of the reasons why Zhu Changsheng confessed without even struggling.
The Plague Imperial Palace had done too much research in this aspect. They had walked through too much, and they had paid an unknown price and harmed countless living beings.
In the end, they only obtained an incomplete success.
This was too despairing.
After Cui Heng heard all of this, he fell silent for a long time.
Actually, before this, although he felt that creating a new path was relatively difficult, he had never thought that it would be so difficult.
After all, be it Pei Qingshu’s Martial Dao True Body, Li Mingqiong’s Soul Golden Core, or the Dao of the Immortal Kingdom, they were all created by him in a short period of time.
However, on careful thought, this was only because he was standing on the shoulders of a giant, the Primary Grade Immortal Technique.
He had long understood the essence of the Immortal Golden nature, and he also knew how to cultivate the Immortal Golden nature from scratch, creating a new path.
The Plague Imperial Palace was different. This was a true exploration from scratch.
It was too difficult.
Although Zhu Changsheng’s explanation did not involve too much secret information like the Creator and the Seventh Realm that Cui Heng paid more attention to, the various research results, direction, and attempts he described still allowed him to understand many unknowns.
The feedback brought by these unknowns was no less than witnessing the birth of a new path, allowing Cui Heng’s Nascent Soul cultivation to increase greatly.
If he could still ask him about the positions of the Heavens and Creator, he would probably be able to obtain a considerable increase.
“I’ve already finished speaking. Do you have anything else you want to ask?” Zhu Changsheng closed his eyes and looked like he was about to die. Clearly, he was already prepared to die.
“I do have one more question.” Cui Heng smiled.
“Ask away,” Zhu Changsheng said indifferently. At this point, no questions could shake his heart anymore.
“If I say that I’m not a Creator, nor am I here to interrogate you, but just to ask why these zombies can be resurrected…” Cui Heng chuckled. “How would you feel? ”
“What?!” Zhu Changsheng opened his eyes on the spot.
