Chapter 1284: Dawn Immortal, Sea Immortal, Earth Immortal
Carefully placing the still intact scroll into his interspatial ring, Xuan Hao began to search through the destroyed exchange hall with far more motivation compared to before. Soon turning the place upside down for any other scroll or books that might have managed to survive the long passage of time since the exchange hall had been destroyed.
Unfortunately, he didn’t manage to find anything other than crumbling scrolls and shattered jades. Nothing of value outside of the single scroll had managed to survive inside the exchange hall. Even then, Xuan Hao was still filled with excitement, as he had gone in expecting to find nothing.
“Time to see what is written in the scroll…” Leaving the second exchange hall and finding a secluded place inside the crater that had been left behind following the destruction of the mist covered mountains at the hands of the guardian formation, Xuan Hao excitedly pulled out the small scroll before carefully undoing the preservation formation that had allowed it to survive for such a long period of time.
Hoping that the scroll wasn’t written in the ancient language, but instead one he could understand that resembled the current language of the Ewaria Continent.
Whoosh~!
Unfortunately, the moment he undid the preservation formation that had kept the scroll intact and tried to use his divine sense to read through it without touching the scroll and possibly destroying it, part of the scroll directly disintegrated. Leaving behind only a small part of the original scroll.
On the positive side, the part that had managed to survive being taken out of the preservation formation was not written in the ancient language that he had yet to fully comprehend but was instead written in a more modern language not much different from the one currently being used on the Ewaria Continent. Allowing him to understand what was written inside the scroll, while at the same time giving him a better understanding of how the ancient language ultimately ended up evolving into the current modern language used on the Ewaria Continent. Increasing his understanding of the ancient language and getting him closer to understanding it.
As for what was written inside the scroll, it wasn’t anything like a secret technique or something similar to it but was instead a kind of record describing ancient events that had taken place inside the mystic realm. More specifically around the exchange hall and inside the second celestial trial and different people of importance that had taken part in the trial.
Although this information wasn’t really that important, it still contained a lot of information that was useful. For example, it contained information on certain geniuses of the ancient Mirage Sect that had visited the celestial trial or the exchange hall in the past.
Not just that, but it also contained a brief description of these geniuses, their realm and what Daos they had managed to comprehend… And there was no lack of geniuses in the Profound Immortal Realm. Allowing him to get a better understanding of the different realms in the Profound Immortal Realm.
At the very least, it seemed like the part of the scroll that had been destroyed was the part containing information on the weaker and less talented cultivators who had been to the exchange hall in the past, while unfortunate as even the weakest one among them was above the Dao Domain Lord Realm and had at least reached the Pinnacle of the Dao Seed Realm and was already in the process of reaching the Profound Immortal Realm, he could at least increase his understanding of the Profound Immortal Realm.
Of course, it could also just be that the information on those in the Dao Domain Lord Realm was kept on another scroll that had already been destroyed…
First of all, the first realm and Early Stage of the Profound Immortal Realm was called the Breaking Dawn Realm. The start of the Profound Immortal Realm. The people in this realm were either referred to as Breaking Dawn Immortals, Dawn Immortals or just Profound Immortals.
Geniuses who had reached this realm were rare, but not uncommon, with the age of these geniuses ranging between the ages of 200 to 500 years.
Next up were those who had reached the Middle Stage of the Profound Immortal Realm, the Sea Formation Realm. The people in this realm being reffered to as Sea Immortals or just Profound Immortals. Although far rarer compared to those in the Early Stage of the Profound Immortal Realm, there were still a small handful of them noted down in what was left of the scroll.
Different from the first group though, their ages ranged between 300 to 800 years.
Last, there was a single person standing proudly at the top of the scroll and noted down as a holy son of the Mirage Sect.
At the age of 353, this person had managed to reach the Land Creation Realm, the Late Stage of the Profound Immortal Realm. Referred to as an Earth Immortal in the description. Making Xuan Hao understand that the title of an Earth Immortal had a different meaning when referring to someone in the time of the Mirage Sect.
The Earth Immortal Realm wasn’t referring to someone in the Dao Seed Realm like he had first thought back when the elder of the Mirage Sect had encouraged him to overcome the tribulation and become an Earth Immortal Realm in the future, but instead seemed to refer to the Late Stage of the Profound Immortal Realm.
However, as he realized this, Xuan Hao also realized that the tribulation that the elder of the Mirage Sect had referred to might not be the Immortal Soul Tribulation he had first thought he might be referring to, but instead a completely different tribulation that one would have to undergo in the Profound Immortal Realm…
Shaking his head as he thought about this, Xuan Hao focused his attention back on the scroll floating in front of him as he read through the far more detailed description of the holy son.
The Daos comprehended by the holy son wasn’t anywhere near as many as he expected, as there was only four different Daos, the Dao of Yang, the Dao of Space, the Dao of Fire and Dao of Wind.
However, each of these Daos had reached the Realm of Perfection, with the Dao of Fire even reaching a brand-new realm of comprehension that he wasn’t aware of, the Origin Realm.
Although he doubted that it meant that this holy son figure had managed to comprehend the entirety of the Dao of Fire, he was certain that this realm of comprehension was far beyond his current understanding.
At the same time, he also noticed that the holy son shouldn’t have been able to reach the Peak of the Dao Seed Realm with the four Daos he had comprehended. Not just that, but it was the same for most of the geniuses that had managed to reach the Middle and Early Stage of the Profound Immortal Realm. None of them had comprehended enough Daos to create enough layers around their dao seed…
However, there was one common thing… And that was every single one of them had at least comprehended one Dao to the Realm of Perfection with two other supporting Daos reaching the Large Success Realm.
“Perhaps this is another path to the Profound Immortal Realm? Considering how many different Daos one would have to comprehend under normal circumstances to reach the Peak of the Dao Seed Realm, I guess it makes sense that there are other ways to reach the Profound Immortal Realm.
If not, it would be hard for anyone not in the Dao Domain Lord Realm to reach the Profound Immortal Realm considering how difficult it might be for others to start comprehending different Daos. Even then, reaching the Perfection Realm in a Dao and the Large Success Realm in two other Daos is still difficult to accomplish.
As for the layers around the Dao Seed… Maybe the Perfection Realm allows the creation of far more layers than I first guessed…”
Shaking his head as he said this to himself, Xuan Hao realized that there was still much that remained unknown about the Dao Seed Realm. For now, he had at least managed to figure out a bit more about the Profound Immortal Realm and another possible path to reaching the realm that the ancient geniuses of the Mirage Sect seemed to take.
Unfortunately, these wasn’t any information on the Dao Domain Lord Realm inside the scroll, as it specifically noted down that the holy son at the Late Stage of the Profound Immortal Realm was a genius that had managed to reach that level without going through the Dao Domain Lord Realm.
“Looks like I can only try and look through the third celestial gate and see if there is anything to find there…” Muttering this to himself as he sealed the scroll before placing it inside his interspatial ring, Xuan Hao turned around and made his way out of the second celestial trials exchange hall and made his way in the direction of the celestial gate leading to third celestial trial.
