Immortality Starts With Ignorant Heart Sword Art

Chapter 190: Peering into the Secrets of Space

In the North Abyss Region, Cloud Firmament Sect.

At the moment when Zhong Cang was transported away by the Five Ghosts, the Perfected Beings of the Profound Origin Realm quickly dispersed and began searching for his whereabouts.

At the same time, the matter of Zhong Cang was reported to Cloud Firmament Sect by the Perfected Beings of the Jingming Realm.

It was necessary to report it. Revealing the phenomenon of the Heavenly Dao Foundation Building could be called an unparalleled genius no matter where it occurred.

Such existences, as long as they don't perish halfway, when the dragon and tiger meet and achieve the Gold Core stage, it is a stable matter.

Moreover, for those in small sects or some independent cultivators, these unparalleled geniuses also have the possibility of injuring Zhong Cang.

But in large sects, they are carefully cultivated, and almost every person can condense a Third Grade Gold Core, and then steadily advance to the Nascent Soul stage, becoming the foundation and face of a sect.

Therefore, every cultivator in the Heavenly Dao Foundation Building stage will be well protected by the sect.

Naturally, the Perfected Beings of the Jingming Realm did not dare to neglect the matter of Zhong Cang.

When the high-level members of Cloud Firmament Sect heard the report from below, their actions were even more exaggerated than he had expected.

At the first moment, thousands of cultivators were sent to the Profound Origin Realm to search for Zhong Cang, and these cultivators were mainly in the Foundation Building stage.

Even a Gold Core Perfected Being suppressed their cultivation and descended to the mortal world, preparing to search the entire world.

The Perfected Beings who had the last contact with Zhong Cang were repeatedly questioned.

This exaggerated scene surprised the Perfected Beings of the Jingming Realm.

Because they didn't understand, the Perfected Being named Jingming couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart.

"Fairy Liuyun, the current situation is too exaggerated... I'm not saying that it's wrong to search for Zhong Cang, but now it's wartime. Isn't it inappropriate to send thousands of cultivators to the Profound Origin Realm?"

Fairy Liuyun, who was asked, was the leader in the search for Zhong Cang. She had a Gold Core cultivation base, and when she was in the Foundation Building stage, she also revealed the phenomenon of the Heavenly Dao.

After hearing the doubtful question from the Perfected Being named Jingming, she frowned and pondered for a moment before explaining the reason.

"If it were just Heavenly Dao Foundation Building, the sect wouldn't be so exaggerated. But Zhong Cang's talent is not limited to this."

"???" This statement made the Perfected Being named Jingming even more confused.

Fortunately, his question was answered next.

"You should have heard that when I was in the Foundation Building stage, there were also phenomena of the Heavenly Dao. But what you don't know is that in order to refine my own cultivation to perfection, I consumed countless heavenly treasures and suppressed my realm for twelve years. Only by accumulating day after day like this can the heavens and earth manifest anomalies."

"Although the cultivation time of other Heavenly Dao Foundation Building cultivators may be different, in order to refine their realms, they have all suppressed their realms and devoted themselves to cultivation. And this time, most of them have spent more than a dozen years."

Hearing this, without Fairy Liuyun needing to continue, the Perfected Being named Jingming understood why the sect attached so much importance to Zhong Cang.

--He had never suppressed his realm, but instead rapidly advanced when his cultivation reached the stage of Foundation Building.

With such a natural cultivation, he was able to achieve the Heavenly Dao Foundation Building stage. Even the Perfected Being named Jingming couldn't help but imagine how great the commotion would be if Zhong Cang had suppressed his cultivation and devoted himself to cultivation like other geniuses during the Foundation Building stage.

"Superior Foundation Building..."

When Jingming, the Perfected Being, was startled, his expression caught the attention of the Fairy Liuyun.

As if knowing what he was thinking, Fairy Liuyun shook her head and said in a calm tone, "Zhong Cang has no possibility of surpassing Foundation Building... The Foundation Building of the Heavenly Dao is the limit for cultivators like us. To surpass it means to exceed the established position, and such a genius is like an exiled immortal, beyond the grasp of common sense. It is not something that we mortals can achieve."

"Our sect's only surpassing Foundation Building is said to be born with an Innate Spiritual Treasure protecting it, and its constitution is an Innate Dao Body, possessing the bloodline of the ancient Thunder God..."

Sighing with emotion, Fairy Liuyun continued, "Our limit is the Celestial Position Foundation Building, but even within the Foundation Building of the Heavenly Dao, there are differences in height. Zhong Cang, without suppressing his realm, has caused such unusual phenomena in the heavens and earth, and there are three of them. This kind of talent is already at the pinnacle in the North Abyss Region."

"If he grows up successfully, he can protect the Cloud Firmament Sect for a thousand years."

...

For one person to suppress a sect's luck for a thousand years may seem exaggerated, but it is actually quite normal.

After all, Hongxuan World is a world of immortals and martial arts, where individual power belongs to oneself, and the higher the realm, the greater the difference in strength.

Therefore, becoming a Soul Formation True Monarch can truly make a sect stand for a thousand years.

However, Fairy Liuyun believed that the Foundation Building of the Heavenly Dao was Zhong Cang's limit.

If Zhong Cang knew about this, he would not think so.

With the Heaven Rewards Diligence, his cultivation realm can continuously improve.

If he suppresses his realm and cultivates diligently for twenty or thirty years, raising all his techniques to the Grandmaster level and even beyond the sixth realm after the Grandmaster, Zhong Cang is confident that he can easily achieve surpassing Foundation Building.

However, this would take too long, and even if Zhong Cang knew, he would not be willing to do so.

Especially in the collision of realms, the Hongxuan Realm is a magnificent world that only occurs once in ten thousand years. In this golden era of great events, geniuses and strong individuals emerge one after another, and he would not leisurely improve himself.

Of course, Zhong Cang does not know about this now, and even if he did, he does not have the time to ponder over these matters.

His current situation is not good.

...

"Where is this?"

Opening his eyes and looking at the unfamiliar ceiling, Zhong Cang's mind was a bit confused.

But soon, he remembered what happened before he lost consciousness.

"I was attacked by someone from the Boundless Killing Prison, and then there was a clash of the Heavenly Dao, and I was swept away by the chaotic flow of space... Ah!"

Thinking of this, Zhong Cang tried to sit up.

However, as soon as he moved, his eyebrows furrowed.

Forcing himself to focus, Zhong Cang found that his body was covered in injuries.

He was not surprised by this, and even felt fortunate that he was alive—being swept away by the chaotic flow of space, even a Gold Core or Nascent Soul cultivator might not survive.

As a Foundation Building cultivator, escaping from the chaotic flow of space with only injuries was already an extremely lucky outcome.

The only thing that puzzled him was his landing point. Why was it not in the wilderness but on someone else's bed?

"I can't be so lucky as to fall directly onto someone else's bed, right?"

Just as Zhong Cang was lost in his thoughts, there was a loud bang, and the door to his room was opened.

Following that, a girl who looked like a tomboy walked into the room.

When she saw Zhong Cang waking up, her eyes lit up.

"You're awake, I saved you, you have to repay me."

"...Of course."

Such a straightforward request for repayment was unexpected for Zhong Cang, but he acknowledged this favor.

Moreover, he wanted to learn about the current situation from the girl, so he didn't refuse her request.

However, most of Zhong Cang's belongings had been lost in the spatial turbulence, including his flying sword Maple Flower and Thunderclap. As a result, he couldn't produce spirit stones for the time being and could only owe her.

...

After chatting with the girl for a while, the exhausted Zhong Cang quickly fell asleep.

The next day, the girl bought a reclining chair and placed it in the yard. Zhong Cang lay on the chair, basking in the sun and recuperating, while calling out to the girl to bring him some grapes.

"Wash them before bringing them."

He was enjoying himself, but the girl next to him couldn't contain her emotions due to Zhong Cang's request.

"Damn it, I am your benefactor, not your servant."

"You're right... one spirit stone."

This statement tempted the girl, but soon she thought of something and her face darkened.

"Don't just talk, if you have the ability, bring out the spirit stone for me!"

"Don't worry, once I've healed my injuries, I will earn spirit stones for you..."

"And how long will it take for you to heal?"

"Hard to say, it could be three months, half a year, or even a year."

After saying that, as if thinking of something, Zhong Cang calmly said, "Don't worry, I have already made a heavenly oath. No matter what, I won't abandon my path just because of a few spirit stones."

The girl acknowledged this statement.

Otherwise, being greedy for money, she would have stripped Zhong Cang naked and thrown him out, instead of serving him like a master, providing him with good food and drink.

However, because of her attitude of demanding spirit stones, Zhong Cang couldn't regard her as a benefactor and instead felt like teasing her a little.

...

Considering the face of the spirit stones, the girl gritted her teeth and brought out the grapes she had just bought, placing them next to Zhong Cang.

After putting down the grapes, she originally intended to leave, but she thought of something and her eyes lit up as she said, "Zhong Cang, brother..."

This sweet address sent a shiver down Zhong Cang's spine.

"Let's talk properly. If you continue like this, I will deduct your spirit stones."

"How dare you..."

Instinctively crossing her arms and rebuking, but after speaking, she thought about how she still wanted to earn more spirit stones from Zhong Cang. The little spirit sparrow immediately suppressed her anger and said in a cute and obedient manner, "Brother Cang, I just wanted to ask if you need me to peel grapes for you."

This statement made Zhong Cang somewhat suspicious.

"You are so kind."

"Why are you speaking like that? This young lady has always been kind-hearted. Don't forget, you were the one I picked up from the wilderness."

"...You're right. So, Miss Kind-hearted Spirit Sparrow, your grape-peeling service is just because you pity me and want to do it for free."

"Hmph, you're not asleep yet. Save your daydreaming for later!"

As soon as the words "for free" were spoken, the cute and obedient face of the spirit sparrow instantly changed.

The rapid change in expression made Zhong Cang stunned for a moment.

But soon, he started laughing.

"Are you really not considering my proposal from yesterday? Becoming my disciple has many benefits, you know?"

"Don't daydream. Do you think I don't know what tricks you're playing? You want to freeload off me and greedily take my spirit stones. Forget it!"

After saying this, she left the courtyard in anger and went to the street to busy herself with work.

Zhong Cang was speechless about her behavior.

"You saved me and made me consider taking you as my disciple. This shows that you have good fortune. But you have rejected me twice in a row... I really don't know if your fortune is good or bad now."

After sighing, Zhong Cang stopped thinking about the spirit sparrow and instead looked at himself.

His body was in bad shape, with chaotic spatial flows cutting through him, leaving scars everywhere. Some spatial vortices, due to the distortion of gravity, turned Zhong Cang's internal organs into a mess.

Moreover, these spatial energies attached to Zhong Cang, making it difficult for his injuries to heal.

But even with just this, let alone a year, he could heal his body in a month.

—The chaotic spatial flows only caused physical damage to Zhong Cang, but his spirit was unharmed.

With the characteristic of his Heart Sword Intent surpassing material things, Zhong Cang could eliminate spatial energies without harming himself.

Without these spatial energies hindering him, relying on the powerful internal organs that gave birth to the Five Viscera Divine Sovereign, Zhong Cang could easily restore his body.

In this situation, the reason why he told the spirit sparrow that it would take him three months to recover his body was because he was away from home and needed to keep some tricks up his sleeve.

The other reason was that Zhong Cang was not in a hurry to remove the spatial energies from his body.

It wasn't because he had a masochistic tendency, but because these spatial energies did indeed harm Zhong Cang.

However, the fact that they were attached to Zhong Cang gave him a good perspective and allowed him to glimpse the mysteries of space.

"Among all things, time is supreme, and space is king. If I can catch a glimpse of the mysteries of space from these energies, then I will have gained something."
