Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill

Chapter 1275: Chapter 108: Experiments in the Virtual World

As more and more cultivators joined the Lifeless Sect, it became certain that the Lifeless Sect would become the third largest force in the Primordial Ancestor World.

In the end, not only cultivators of the Fifteenth Realm but even those of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Realms came.

Within the Primordial Ancestor World, there was only one possibility to become cultivators of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Realms, and that was to receive gifts from the divine statues at the Starry Sky Palace and Destiny Palace.

But not all cultivators of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Realms could enter the Starry Sky Palace and Destiny Palace; they were the lucky ones selected by the two forces in the Primordial Ancestor World.

Therefore, after they broke through to the Sixteenth Realm or Seventeenth Realm, it was very difficult to advance further.

Especially for cultivators of the Seventeenth Realm, with the limited number of Eighteenth Realm Dao Fruits, there was virtually no opportunity.

They shared the same idea as those of the Fifteenth Realm, seeking opportunities in the Lifeless Sect.

Since it is on par with the Starry Sky Palace and Destiny Palace, there should be similar divine statues, right?

Once the initial batch of Fifteenth Realm cultivators revealed that they had already broken through to the Sixteenth Realm, two Seventeenth Realm and three Sixteenth Realm cultivators hurriedly rushed over.

Wang Sheng naturally noticed the five formidable cultivators of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Realms.

“All of you broke through with the help of the Starry Sky Palace?”

Although these five cultivators undoubtedly genuinely wanted to join the Lifeless Sect, seeking breakthrough opportunities from the heart.

But Wang Sheng could basically determine that the Starry Sky Palace definitely had an influence among them.

This was sending talents to him, enhancing the high-end combat power of the Lifeless Sect as a facade.

After all, because of the “game rules,” he couldn’t easily step in.

“With such good intentions, naturally, I cannot refuse.”

The five cultivators passed the test easily, and Wang Sheng didn’t deliberately obstruct them.

After entering the Lifeless Sect, Wang Sheng specifically sent a child to meet them.

“All five of you, the master understands your purpose here and can help you achieve your goal, but having entered the Lifeless Sect, you are now part of the sect, with no way back. Have you handled the affairs in the Primordial Ancestor World?”

The cultivators of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Realms were simply overjoyed upon hearing the child’s words.

They were just trying their luck, not expecting a real chance to break through.

As for the so-called cost, it was too light for them.

It could be said that there was none at all.

They had cultivated for too long, their relatives were either dead or completely a matter they need not worry about.

Fully joining the Lifeless Sect was nothing.

In fact, they had already dealt with matters long before coming.

“We are willing to follow the True Saint’s command.”

“Then enter the Lifeless Sect; from now on, you are elders of the Lifeless Sect. First, go pay respects to the divine statue and break through quickly; you will be needed for the next Primordial Festival.”

“Yes.” They hadn’t expected that, having just joined, they would accomplish their greatest goal.

Without any hesitation, after entering the Lifeless Sect, they directly chose to go to the location of the divine statue.

After confirming there were no issues, Wang Sheng released his control over the Corrosive Fate Dao and then bestowed his Eighteenth Realm Dao Fruit and Seventeenth Realm upon the cultivators.

The fate dao he created grew once more.

“Coupled with the previous Dao Fruits given to those of the Fifteenth Realm, seven Eighteenth Realm Dao Fruits remaining, five left, ten Seventeenth Realm Dao Fruits remaining, two left… sufficient for the moment, and I’ll then attempt to cultivate on my own.”

The most important aspect of the Lifeless Sect was still him.

The others served more as a facade.

After acquiring the Dao Fruits, the cultivators began seclusion to refine them.

They remembered that they would be required for the next Primordial Festival.

They must break through quickly.

Seeing all five showing signs of breakthrough, Wang Sheng thought for a moment and then issued a notice.

The Lifeless Sect would stop recruiting strong cultivators above the Fifteenth Realm.

The cultivators of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Realms in the Primordial Ancestor World, belonging to the Starry Sky Palace, had already been exhausted.

Those remaining were now unnecessary.

As the strong joined, the foundation of the Lifeless Sect also followed.

Thousands of years later, the Primordial Festival commenced once again.

Countless Eighteenth Realm strong within the Lifeless Sect let everyone know the Lifeless Sect indeed holds the capacity to make beings into top-tier warriors.

Many cultivators wanted more opportunities, and thus, in this cycle of the Primordial Festival, the Lifeless Sect was the biggest winner.

Among the top ten of the younger generation, seven chose to join the Lifeless Sect.

The influence of the Lifeless Sect in the Primordial Ancestor World continued to expand.

And Wang Sheng certainly didn’t do nothing.

Aside from enhancing his own strength, he secretly utilized the Mother River to control more living beings within the Primordial Ancestor World.

The Mother River controls reincarnation, even the Corrosive Fate Dao struggles to detect any issues.

Yet as he spread the power of the Mother River across the Primordial Ancestor World, he encountered a problem.

“Within the Primordial Ancestor World, the quantity of True Spirits seems to have never changed… Not only the quantity, but it’s as if, no matter how much time passes, the True Spirits within the Primordial Ancestor World are always the original ones.”

The living beings inside the Primordial Ancestor World were very special, preserved by the Starry Sky and Corrosive Fate Dao from times past.

Within the Primordial Ancestor World were mundane creatures, with their lifespan being at most a hundred years.

Almost every moment, there were mundane deaths.

Yet within the Primordial Ancestor World, there was no reincarnation.

Wang Sheng had always believed the Primordial Ancestor World was supported by the Starry Sky and Corrosive Fate Dao using preserved True Spirits from the past, thus allowing the living beings within the world to remain without significant change.

However, as he forged the Mother River and spread a portion of its power to the Primordial Ancestor World, he discovered it was not so.

Within the Primordial Ancestor World, regardless of how many people died, the quantity of True Spirits seemed always to be the same, and it was the same batch of True Spirits being cycled for use.
