Apocalypse: Starting with an infinitely evolving luxury RV

Chapter 1137 The True Martial Emperor

"The one who founded the Dao Yi Sect is none other than the True Martial Emperor right before us."

No one knows what Zhenwu the Great’s name was, where he came from, or where he went.

"But all the cultivation methods, martial arts techniques, and many magical treasures and spiritual artifacts of the Daoist sect were passed down by the True Martial Emperor."

"Therefore, the Dao Yi Sect has worshipped the True Martial Emperor for generations."

Su Chen did not interrupt Bai Henian, but listened quietly as he recounted the history of the Dao Yi Sect.

Before the True Martial Emperor disappeared, he said that he hoped we could attain immortality and comprehend the creation of heaven and earth as soon as possible.

"Unfortunately, this matter is easier said than done, but throughout the history of the Daoist sect, not a single person has been able to cultivate to become an immortal!"

Bai Henian sighed as he spoke.

"Um... is your so-called ascension to immortality the same as our evolution?"

Su Chen couldn't help but ask.

"Strictly speaking, they are the same thing."

Yan Zheng spoke up to explain for Bai Henian,

"For example, the energy and life factors you talk about are what we Taoists call spiritual energy!"

"Oh I got it."

Su Chen suddenly realized, but then asked in confusion,

"If I'm not mistaken, the sect leader should be of rank S, right?"

"This level of attainment isn't considered achieving immortality?"

Bai Henian gently shook his head.

"Your so-called evolution levels are actually quite different from the realm classifications in Taoism."

"Our Taoist cultivation levels can be divided into Qi Refining, Foundation Building, Golden Elixir, and so on."

Even if you evolve to A+, you've only just stepped into the Foundation Establishment stage.

"Only at the S stage can one be compared to the Golden Core stage!"

Su Chen was deeply moved!

I worked hard and evolved from G-level combat power all the way to A-level combat power.

I never imagined that I wasn't even at the Foundation Establishment stage!

As if sensing Su Chen's thoughts, the young white crane sighed.

"The hardships on the path to immortality are beyond your imagination."

“Every few years, our Dao Yi Sect will go out to search for children with potential, bring them into the sect, and carefully cultivate them.”

"Those children who joined the Daoist sect at the same time as Yan Zheng."

"The highest level is only the late stage of Qi Refining, not even reaching the Great Perfection realm."

"Even a few people have been stuck at the threshold of Qi Refining, unable to truly embark on the path to immortality."

"In the entire Dao Yi Sect, I am the only one who has barely reached the Golden Core stage, which is what you call the S-rank."

"Below me, including Yan Zheng and the other elders in the sect, they are all only at the Foundation Establishment stage."

Su Chen fell silent.

Even the Dao Yi Sect, with its profound foundation, only has a handful of Foundation Establishment cultivators; the majority are Qi Refining cultivators.

This shows how arduous the path to immortality is!

"This result is not only due to talent and opportunity, but also because the spiritual energy in the world has become extremely thin."

“Back in ancient times, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was extremely abundant.”

"At that time, the Dao Yi Sect had hundreds or even thousands of people at the Golden Core stage alone."

"There are countless people whose cultivation level is above the Golden Core stage."

"But as time goes by, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth becomes increasingly scarce."

"Cultivation has become extremely difficult!"

"I once believed that no one in this world could cultivate themselves into an immortal."

"Until this apocalypse comes."

Bai He took a sip of tea and said slowly.

"With the arrival of the apocalypse, the spiritual energy in the world has become increasingly abundant!"

"What is even more remarkable is that extraordinary individuals have emerged among humanity."

"Although compared to cultivators, superhumans are still very weak."

"But their rate of evolution far exceeds that of cultivators."

"That's when the flame of hope was rekindled in my heart!"

"That's why I invited you here, Su Chen."

"My goal is simple: I hope you can take our place and cultivate to become an immortal!"

His gaze was intense, fixed intently on Su Chen!

Su Chen paused for a moment before hesitatingly saying,

"No, Sect Leader, what are the benefits of cultivating to become an immortal that makes you so obsessed with it?"

"After cultivating to become an immortal, one can live forever."

Bai He laughed as he spoke.

"Of course, it means nothing to me."

"Besides leaving behind a few words of instruction, the True Martial Emperor also left behind a round bead."

"According to the teachings of successive sect leaders, this round bead contains the truth of the world!"

"Only those who attain immortality can decipher the round bead."

"We all want to cultivate ourselves into immortals as soon as possible and find out the truth of the world from the round bead."

"This matter has become an obsession for the Dao Yi Sect."

"Perhaps Yan Zheng, the other members of the Dao Yi Sect, and I will not be able to become immortals."

"But we hope that a genius like you, Su Chen, can do it for us."

Su Chen did not answer immediately.

Although he prided himself on his intelligence, he was still overwhelmed by the sudden influx of information.

Seeing this, Bai Henian did not rush Su Chen to answer, but instead gently raised his hand.

The teapot beside him floated up automatically and filled Su Chen's cup with tea.

It took Su Chen a while to sort out his thoughts.

"Sect Leader, I'm not sure if the ultimate direction of the evolution of extraordinary beings is what you call becoming immortals."

"But I am certain that I will make it to the end step by step."

"This is not for your Daoist sect, but for myself!"

His gaze became exceptionally resolute!

Bai Henian nodded slightly, his eyes filled with admiration for Su Chen.

"If the sect leader doesn't mind, may I take a look at that round bead first?"

Su Chen made the request.

"no problem."

With a flick of his sleeve, Bai Henian conjured a round bead in front of Su Chen and the others.

Su Chen glanced at it and couldn't help but feel a little amused and exasperated.

This round bead looks exactly like the glass beads that children play with.

It's just a bit big, about the size of a fist.

Su Chen took the round bead, played with it for a while, and then tried to sense it with his spiritual sense.

But the bead did not react at all.

Su Chen couldn't sense anything special about it.

"Sect Leader, are you sure this thing... isn't just an ordinary glass bead?"

Su Chen frowned.

"This has been passed down from the previous sect leaders, and it is absolutely impossible for it to be wrong."

Bai Henian shook his head.

Since he had said that, Su Chen couldn't question it anymore.

"It seems my level of understanding is not high enough. Once I reach that level, I will naturally be able to see through it."

Bai Henian spoke solemnly and authentically.

“Su Chen, this matter is the highest secret of our Daoist sect, and only the sect leader has always known about it.”

"Even Yan Zheng didn't know this before."

"I hope you and your wife can keep this a secret."

Su Chen nodded emphatically and said seriously.

"Please rest assured, Sect Leader, I will not reveal this to anyone else."

Bai Henian smiled with satisfaction, then waved his hand again to put the round bead away.

After a heart-to-heart talk, the two sides became much closer.
