Chapter 1061 -438: Celestial Being_3

The only shortcoming lies in their failure to comprehend the Power of Root.

If they can grasp the Power of Root and reach the limits of human cultivators, they would become what people call a Great Grandmaster, like Wu Chang’s true body incarnation as the Tang Sect Leader.

Above the Great Grandmaster level, cultivators aspiring to advance further cannot rely solely on mundane cultivation techniques; they must obtain celestial opportunities like An Rong to condense divinity from their techniques and reach the “Immortal Realm” above the Great Grandmaster level.

Wu Chang observed the gatekeepers while they were observing Wu Chang back.

In the World Dungeon Plane, the great families and sects rely on generations of accumulation, possessing endless wealth, ensuring nutrition is never lacking, and there is no shortfall in food, clothing, or supplies.

Yet even so, even among martial cultivators specializing in tempering their bodies, few are as tall and robust as Wu Chang True Self.

As they looked up at Wu Chang, they thought, “A person with an unusual appearance must have extraordinary abilities. Just by this physique alone, it’s clear Wu Chang is not ordinary.”

Moreover, whether in attire or demeanor, Wu Chang stands out among the plane natives, noticeably different.

When it was Wu Chang’s turn to register to enter the city, after being scanned by the city gate array and confirmed not to be a demon, a Grandmaster in a white robe personally greeted him and said:

“Please follow me, sir.”

Wu Chang followed the white-robed Grandmaster into a building by the city gate. The Grandmaster asked respectfully:

“I am Tao Hexuan, serving as Deacon of the Human Dao Alliance. How should I address you, sir?”

“Peace,” Wu Chang replied, cupping his hands.

Before entering the city, he already contemplated whether to reveal his identity.

The answer was it didn’t matter.

His presence was too conspicuous; as long as he aimed to leverage his early entry into the dungeon to establish a sufficiently large advantage, he was bound to be noticed.

If the Human Dao Alliance and Illuminati had ties, with his performance, comparing it to descriptions from the Bright Society would reveal his identity; if there was no connection, then exposure wouldn’t have any impact.

Rather than hiding it, it’s better to reveal it proactively, testing the waters to observe the Bright Society’s actions.

If to counter him, the Bright Society prematurely activates certain arrangements and loses composure, it would instead give him an advantage.

Tao Hexuan paused for a moment before asking slowly, “I see that Lord Peace’s demeanor is extraordinary, and his manner is unlike a mortal. Is it possible that you are the legendary Celestial Being?”

Wu Chang’s eyes narrowed slightly; Celestial Being—that’s the second time he’s heard this title.

The last time was when he infiltrated a ceremony of the Bright Society with a Hunter, witnessing someone communicating with Mercury within the world dungeon, claiming everything was in place, awaiting the arrival of the Celestial Being.

At that time, he thought the Celestial Being was a code between the other party and Mercury, aiming to explore the world dungeon and identify Mercury’s collaborators with this title. But now it seems the term is not particularly secretive.

He calmly asked, “What is a Celestial Being?”

Tao Hexuan explained:

“This is the title we Great Profound have for people like you. According to records from the Immortal Mansion, before the spiritual energy was extinguished, some immortals did not return to the celestial realm but left the land and went to the overseas immortal mountains where spiritual energy remained.”

“Overseas immortal mountains have remaining spiritual energy, and their inheritance won’t be severed. When they left, they said that when spiritual energy reappears, they would return to the world.”

“Thus, since the cultivators of the overseas immortal mountains have immortal bloodlines or heritage, we call them Celestial Beings. Now with the revival of spiritual energy, amidst the era of demon chaos, our Human Dao Alliance has inferred from the heavenly secrets that Celestial Beings are about to return to the Great Profound to help humans through this calamity.”

Tao Hexuan looked at Wu Chang with hopeful eyes, seemingly waiting for him to confirm his identity.

Upon hearing this, Wu Chang frowned slightly, sensing things were heading in a direction he least wanted to see.

If Celestial Beings are well-known in the Great Profound realm, it’s advantageous for Abyssal Game Players to integrate into the dungeon, but it renders his scarce clues useless.

Seeing the sincerity in the white-robed Grandmaster’s tone, and having detected no hostility towards Celestial Beings, he said:

“Although my origins differ slightly from what you described, you may consider me the Celestial Being you mentioned.”

With this situation, as the Celestial Beings cease to be a clue, he plans to utilize the Celestial Being banner to conveniently complete the main quest one.

“I come from beyond the Great Profound. My original intention was to travel the world. When I passed by the Great Profound, I happened to see the demon Qi soaring, with catastrophe imminent, so I hurried over.”

“To be honest, understanding the origins of the Demon Realm, I came to Zhenyue City to join the Demon-breaking Army to contribute to saving the world.”

Upon hearing Wu Chang’s intention, Tao Hexuan exclaimed joyfully:

“That’s excellent! With your assistance, establishing the Purple Star Break Evil Grand Array to completely eliminate the Demon Realm is within reach. However…”

Tao Hexuan changed his tone, becoming hesitant.

Wu Chang asked, “However, what?”

Tao Hexuan sighed, “However, not all Great Profound cultivators hold friendly attitudes towards Celestial Beings. To minimize trouble for you in the Demon-breaking Army, you must undergo a trial like other cultivators to join them. Would you…”

Wu Chang immediately agreed, “No problem. What do I need to do?”

Seeing Wu Chang’s agreeable nature, Tao Hexuan relaxed and explained:

“The trial to enter the Demon-breaking Army is not difficult. Its purpose is firstly to verify the strength of those joining, and secondly to allow the volunteers intending to join the Demon-breaking Army to experience the Demon Realm situation in advance.”

Tao Hexuan wielded the Duster in his hand, which stood upright like a sword.

Pointing to the map of the Tianlan Province on the wall, he said:

“The trial involves a simple task: Before the formation of the Purple Star Break Evil Grand Array, besides Grandmaster Realm experts, ordinary human cultivators cannot enter the Demon Realm to fight. However, demons constantly expand the boundaries of the Demon Realm relying on its existence.”

“What the trial requires is to reclaim the parts newly eroded by the Demon Realm and dispel the spreading demon Qi.”
