Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill

Chapter 1274: Chapter 107: Memories of the Past (2)

‘In this way, the story of the Primordial Ancestor World that has reemerged seems to have become clear.’

According to Su’s statement, the story reemerged in the Primordial Ancestor World should be the segment where the Corrosive Fate Dao attempted to advance to the River of Destiny.

‘I don’t know whether the issues with the Corrosive Fate Dao existed beforehand or appeared after the failed advancement. However, since power theft began at that time, the problems likely existed earlier.’

The theft of a Cultivator’s power does resemble something a legitimate Dao would attempt.

However, the final result was failure.

Otherwise, the situation of the starry sky today wouldn’t be as it is.

‘The starry sky mentioned one could find the weak points of the Corrosive Fate Dao within this story. Could the weaknesses be concealed in the reasons for the failed advancement?’

Admittedly, Su’s sudden awakening of memories is of considerable help to him, even a significant benefit.

Perhaps Su doesn’t know the meaning of this information, but it could potentially change the situation.

The best approach to dealing with the Corrosive Fate Dao is naturally to increase strength, using power to crush it.

However, he has always preferred a dual-pronged approach.

Enhancing strength and searching for weaknesses do not conflict.

With this in mind, Wang Sheng said, “You shouldn’t mind me copying this part of your memories, right?”

Su provided detailed information, but only by mastering it himself could he discern more and verify its truthfulness.

Additionally, given Su’s uniqueness, he naturally needed to make some concealments.

Su had already done this when he first arrived at the Lifeless Sect, but it wasn’t enough.

Deeper changes were necessary.

Su nodded without any hesitation and said, “Please feel free, I will cooperate in whatever manner required.”

His arrival at the Lifeless Sect was to consider himself a bargaining chip.

The Starry Sky Palace, Destiny Palace, and Lifeless Sect were forces that did not exist in the previous life.

They were all terrifyingly powerful.

However, in this life, the Starry Sky Palace and Destiny Palace have been rooted in the Primordial Ancestor World for a long time.

The Lifeless Sect, however, intervened suddenly.

Compared to the other two forces, he placed more hope in the Lifeless Sect.

Currently, he was entirely at the mercy of others.

Just as power was stolen in the previous life, the same scenario repeated now.

If not for the intervention of the True Saint, he would likely follow the same path as before.

His current transformation was all due to the intervention of the True Saint.

If there is hope, it most probably lies with the True Saint.

Of course, regardless of the choice, it was a matter of no choice.

What if he reached the Fifteenth Realm in his previous life?

In this life, he barely has the ability to resist.

“Then, do not resist.”

In fact, even if Su resisted, it would be in vain.

With his level of power, probing his memories was extremely easy.

Soon, Wang Sheng made a copy of Su’s past memories and also placed considerable protection upon him.

“I understand your concerns. The Primordial Ancestor World is special, but I will find a way to protect you.”

Getting what he wanted made Su relieved.

That’s what he desired the most.

No matter what happens, preserving one’s life is where hope lies.

He didn’t know what exactly transpired inside the Primordial Ancestor World, but considering the recent great war, it was clear a storm was brewing.

Without the protection of a strong one, let alone at his realm, even his realm in the previous life wouldn’t change any outcome.

“Go now, and henceforth, act as if you know nothing. Just cultivate normally in the Lifeless Sect.”

“True Saint, about the Destiny Palace…”

“Don’t worry.”

With his concealment, the Corrosive Fate Dao would not notice any difference.

In this regard, he was confident.

The only concern was whether the Corrosive Fate Dao would give up on Su, someone who was top-tier in the previous life and also ‘nourishment’ for the River of Destiny.

“Understood.” Ever since awakening the memories of his previous life, Su was increasingly unwilling to stay at the Destiny Palace.

He always felt it was a pitfall.

Before, joining the Destiny Palace was at the behest of the Lifeless True Saint in front of him, and he feared being sent back there again.

It seems that such worries were unnecessary.

With the personal assurance of the Lifeless True Saint to provide protection and leave him in the Lifeless Sect, he felt more at ease, even if death awaited, he might not be the first.

Of course, there is a possibility that the Lifeless Sect is also an illusion, an even bigger trap.

But now, he couldn’t afford to think that much.

Wang Sheng withdrew his protection, and from the outside, it seemed just an instant had passed.

After Su entered the Lifeless Sect, the power of the Corrosive Fate Dao descended just like before.

“Facing ‘nourishment’, what actions will it take?”

At this time, Wang Sheng focused not only on the power of the Corrosive Fate Dao but also on Su.

This time, unlike before, the power of the Corrosive Fate Dao appeared quickly and then disappeared just as quickly; it showed a significant pause.

However, it didn’t hesitate long and also vanished after a while.

At the moment the Corrosive Fate Dao’s power disappeared, the hidden power within Su made visible the changes directed by Su’s cultivation path.

No longer pointing to the vague River of Destiny, but rather returning to the Causality Dao.

His mastery over the Causality Dao allowed him to clearly sense Su’s changes.

“So simple to end… It seems that one individual doesn’t particularly affect the River of Destiny.”

“But the impact on Su is quite significant.”

Originally, Su was doing well, but with the severing of his connection to the River of Destiny, his cultivation fell accordingly.

From close to the Fifteenth Realm, his cultivation level directly dropped to the Twelfth Realm.

It could be said: back to the starting point.

Years of efforts were all in vain.

Nevertheless, Su showed no sadness at all; instead, he was smiling.

The moment his cultivation fell, there was indeed momentary panic.

After all, for a Cultivator, nothing is more important than cultivation.

But he quickly realized that the mountain pressing on his heart had quietly disappeared, and the feeling of his life being in constant jeopardy was completely gone.

Since breaking through to the Twelfth Realm, he had never felt this relaxed.

After awakening his memories, it was clear to him that it was precisely the power siphoning from his Dao path that had vanished.

Besides the Lifeless True Saint, no one else could have done this.

He was increasingly thankful that he had joined the Lifeless Sect.

He had only just joined, yet had already experienced transformation.

“Thank you, True Saint.”

Wang Sheng nodded slightly.

Su being able to completely rid himself of it was indeed connected to him.

However, things weren’t over yet.

“It seems you have plans for Su, Corrosive Fate Dao.”

At this time, the matter of the River of Destiny must not be revealed.

Otherwise, it would lose part of the advantageous position.

“You are no different. You had plans for this person, sending him into my Fate Dao; perhaps you already know what I’m doing.” The Corrosive Fate Dao was actually doubtful, thus probing directly.

“I indeed know, but you should be wary; you might expose a flaw.”

The Corrosive Fate Dao didn’t continue speaking.

Both sides were aware that none of the other’s words was true.

Wang Sheng was just casually probing.

After all, ignoring Su’s fall in cultivation would be unusual.

Following this, with each interaction with the Corrosive Fate Dao, it connected directly with destiny.

And more and more Cultivators joined the Lifeless Sect.

It swiftly became the third largest power in the Primordial Ancestor World—even though it was difficult in such a short time to surpass the deep-rooted Starry Sky Palace and Destiny Palace.

However, five new Sixteenth Realm individuals emerged—the original five Fifteenth Realm Cultivators who joined the Lifeless Sect.

As soon as they entered the Lifeless Sect, they found a rumored Divine Statue within the Secret Realm and immediately went to worship it.

Upon confirming no issues, Wang Sheng directly bestowed Dao Fruits.

And these were Seventeenth Realm Dao Fruits.

As for Dao Fruits of the Eighteenth Realm or even higher Nineteen Realm, it would depend on their fortunes.

With their breakthrough to the Sixteenth Realm, albeit with weakened power, the influence on the destiny path he created was substantial.

Results rapidly advanced.

Continuing this path, it would eventually bear other Daos, turning into the River of Destiny.

This was also his blockade against the Corrosive Fate Dao.

“Raising one’s strength, prematurely constructing the River of Destiny, searching for weaknesses—I want to see if the Corrosive Fate Dao can withstand this…”
