Chapter 888: Chapter 23: Souls Returned to the Mortal World (Part 2)
The benefits of this planetary advancement exceeded everyone’s expectations.
Cultivators in the Eighth Realm and below, if they were on the verge of breakthrough, quickly advanced and continued forward.
Even cultivators in the Ninth Realm and above, including those in the Tenth Realm, experienced a long-awaited enhancement in their cultivation.
Especially Hei Yang and Yun Tian, who were originally the two strongest Tenth Realm beings subdued by Wang Sheng.
Their cultivation realms had long stagnated, but this time, they found their realms being shaken!
If they seize the opportunity, they might achieve the Eleventh Realm.
This is the realm they have dreamed of attaining.
Every cultivator wanted to seize the opportunity to enhance themselves.
Apart from cultivators, even ordinary beings reaped immense benefits.
The mysterious Starry Sky Rules transformed their bodies, allowing them to adapt to the increasingly powerful Source Star.
This was a comprehensive enhancement.
The more powerful the world, the stronger the beings.
Especially among ordinary and lower-level beings.
Their spirit, physique, and even longevity were greatly enhanced.
So to speak, on the Source Star, even a stray dog in an ordinary world can be considered a longevity species.
The advancement lasted for half a month.
After half a month, Wang Sheng finally awoke from cultivation.
“The cultivation progress has increased by about four percent, reaching a total of forty-five percent… If cultivated individually, even with guaranteed treasures, it would take several or even dozens of years to reach this, but this time, it only took half a month.”
The progress is extremely astonishing, even terrifying to say.
“If I were a powerhouse from the old land, knowing these benefits, I wouldn’t disregard everything either.”
Originally, he had no thoughts on Source Star subduing other worlds, but this time, it reignited his desires.
“The treasures on the old land, the planetary advancement of the Newborn Land, I want it all.” He underestimated the benefits of planetary advancement, but it’s not too late now.
As he was sighing, Yuan appeared again.
[How are the benefits of this advancement?]
“Quite good, if it happens a few more times, I should be able to reach the Twelfth Realm…”
[A few more times, there might be a chance, but I need to suppress the speed of subduing planets, because a single advancement like this requires a lot of planets.]
The considerable benefits from this planetary advancement were due to simultaneously subduing hundreds of thousands of worlds; how could the benefits not be significant?
“Let’s arrange it like this.”
[Alright!]
Yuan did not oppose, accumulating advancement benefits the strongest.
After all, for cultivators with relatively low strength, a single ordinary planetary advancement is enough for them to transcend.
But protecting the planet still relies on the strong, which is a common understanding among all beings. As the Planet Will of the Source Star, Yuan naturally would not oppose.
“Then it’s up to you, your workload is not small next.”
[Rest assured, I will handle it well.]
With the presence of Planet Will, it’s possible to suppress the speed of subduing planets and accumulate for advancement.
Otherwise, it would have to let the planet or world advance autonomously, and wishing for a continuous advancement affecting the Twelfth Realm would be just a dream.
The more powerful the world, the more important the World Will.
Yuan has already exemplified this well.
After the discussion, Yuan also left, and Wang Sheng continued cultivation.
However, the effects of this advancement have not yet ended.
The change in the cultivators’ strengths, under the suppression of Datong, did not have a significant impact.
The most significant impact was on the ordinary beings without cultivation and lower-level cultivators.
Powerful cultivators, their longevity was already nearing the limit of their realm, so it did not significantly increase their lifespan.
Thus, whether it is a powerful world or a weak world, the gap among powerful cultivators is not very large.
But it’s different for ordinary beings, as the gap between ordinary beings and lower-level cultivators in powerful and weak worlds is enormous.
For example, now on the Source Star, ordinary beings without cultivation have a lifespan limit reaching four hundred, a hundred years more than the previous extension.
Of course, this is the limit lifespan; generally speaking, they would live to over three hundred before their life ends naturally.
Additionally, placed in a weak world, their strength would be equivalent to Third Realm beings.
If ordinary beings are like this, the beings of the First, Second, and Third Realms would naturally be even more powerful.
Originally, Third Realm beings on the Source Star had a lifespan of just over three hundred years, but now, it has reached over eight hundred years, equivalent to early Fourth Realm beings.
However, the extension of lifespan also had a significant impact on Datong’s management.
Of course, this trend has existed for a long time.
Therefore, it can be barely managed.
The Lifeless Sect will also cooperate with Datong’s official efforts.
The situation is still relatively stable.
However, the intrinsic enhancement of beings will also present issues.
In Datong, Qingshui State, Fenghe Village.
Fenghe Town’s Duan Family atmosphere was not good today.
The Duan Family is not a powerful family but also has a Fourth Realm existence.
The poor atmosphere stemmed from the passing of their highest ranking ancestor.
The Duan Family’s ancestor was a figure before Datong rose to power, but he was fortunate enough not to die during the previous Chaotic Realm invasion turmoil and lasted until the Source Star’s advancement, extending his lifespan.
The first time was one thing, but later he obtained treasures again to extend his lifespan, making it to the second advancement.
He enjoyed the benefits of several subsequent planetary advancements.
By the day of his death, the Duan Family’s ancestor had lived nearly four hundred years.
The planetary advancement’s enhancement of ordinary beings’ lifespan decreased with each time, and this advancement did not significantly improve the Duan Family ancestor’s situation because his lifespan was already near its limit.
He himself was not a cultivator, and he didn’t want to waste the Spiritual Medicine brought by his juniors to extend his lifespan, so he chose to await death peacefully.
Even though he had no cultivation, such a person who survived since the times of the dynasty was very rare, and Datong had always been taking care of him.
Datong’s official even sent a Fourth Realm powerhouse to host the funeral.
“Condolences!” The person hosting the funeral was familiar with the Duan Family’s Fourth Realm Duan Yan, so offered condolences.
“If not for Grandpa giving me that Spiritual Medicine back then, he could have lived for a few more centuries, not so…” Duan Yan, the grandson of the Duan Family’s ancestor, was deeply saddened.
The Datong official didn’t know how to console him.
As a Fourth Realm being, the fact that he was this saddened showed how deep their bond was.
But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded: “Dear grandson, do not be this way, it was grandpa’s own choice, I’m already very content that you have stepped into cultivation…”
Duan Yan and the Datong official were both taken aback.
One was a beloved grandson, the other frequently visited the Duan Family to care for them; naturally, they were familiar with this voice.
“Grandpa…”
“Old Master!”
The Datong official could affirm that the Duan Family’s ancestor was definitely deceased, so how did this voice appear?
Soon, they saw a figure identical to the Duan Family’s ancestor appearing in the shadows.
This figure hovered in the air, flickering in and out, exuding a chill around it.
“Grandpa, it’s really you!” Duan Yan cried out in shock again.
The Duan Family ancestor wasn’t quite clear on the situation either, and murmured: “I don’t know what’s going on, after closing my eyes, I became like this.”
Duan Yan and the Datong official exchanged glances, and finally, the Datong official said:
“In the Spiritual Cultivation System, when one’s cultivation reaches a certain level, they can materialize their own Spiritual Body, what they call a soul, divine soul.
Perhaps the Old Master is in such a soul state, just weaker than cultivators, but by reason, it shouldn’t be so…”
Hearing this, Duan Yan felt a hint of joy and said: “In that case, does it mean grandpa is still alive?”
The Datong official wasn’t certain, but looking at the soul of the Duan Family’s ancestor and his friend’s hopeful gaze, he said: “It should be so!”
“That’s wonderful, grandpa!”
The soul of the Duan Family ancestor wasn’t sure himself, but seeing his beloved grandson like this, he was also very happy.
The final outcome seemed to be one of great joy for all.
The Duan Family’s ancestor, who had existed since Datong was still the Taiping Sect, seemed quite content with this conclusion.
However, the cold aura grew more and more conspicuous…
