Chapter 79 – Bold idea
Upon learning that the True Martial Tomb is actually the Immortal Palace mentioned by Lin Manqing, you are greatly surprised and quickly inquire about the opportunities it holds.
Song Shenyi tells you that the Five Gates of Heaven and the bronze book that can resist the Cursed Land are all items that emerged from the True Martial Tomb tens of thousands of years ago. However, the opening of the True Martial Tomb is irregular, ranging from ten thousand to several tens of thousands of years. Once it opens, it will continue to open three times every fifty years or so. As long as you have the key to the True Martial Tomb, you can take five people inside to seek great fortune.
You are puzzled because, according to Xu Yougen, there are only twelve keys to the True Martial Tomb, all lost a hundred thousand years ago. Why is Song Shenyi so certain that you, without a key, can enter the True Martial Tomb?
You voice your doubts.
Song Shenyi explains that the Song family indeed does not have a key to the True Martial Tomb, but there is another way to enter: by cultivating the Five Gates of Heaven. As long as you open the third Vitality Gate, you will be automatically transported into the True Martial Tomb when it opens, by stepping into the Cursed Land.
Hearing this, you can't help but recall the mysterious middle-aged man who might be the Great Wei Founding Emperor. He instructed you to go to the Cursed Land in four years, likely intending for you to enter the True Martial Tomb to find more bronze books. However, unlike Song Shenyi, the middle-aged man seems very sure about the timing of the True Martial Tomb's opening. Yet, you know there's no such thing as a free lunch; the middle-aged man must have his own motives. The key to everything might lie in the Five Gates of Heaven.
You don't pay it much mind.
In the past, you might have been worried about the potential limitations on the number of times you can reincarnate. But now, having lived ten lives, you are confident that you are someone with a cheat; what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger.
Life and death are just a bit of frost and dew...
Next, you ask about the Heaven Grade Technique.
Song Shenyi doesn't answer but instead asks if you are willing to help him find something in the True Martial Tomb.
You agree without hesitation, seizing the opportunity to express your loyalty.
Song Shenyi is somewhat surprised.
Then, he laughs heartily, praising you as a loyal person.
He decides to continue arranging for Song Qingxue to marry you.
You agree.
Song Qingxue is different from Mo Xiang; she is the eldest daughter of the sixth branch of the Song family, Song Tianji, and a Silver Bone Prodigy, holding a prestigious status. Marrying her would make you a true member of the Song family, binding you to them completely.
By then, even if King Qin orders the Spirit Sword Sect to take your life, as long as you don't leave the Song residence, you will remain safe. Understanding this, you become concerned about the potential downfall of the Song family and remind Song Shenyi to prepare early for any future crises.
He nods seriously, stating that he will discuss having a Heaven-Human ancestor of the Song family attempt a breakthrough.
You frown slightly.
After the demon uprising in the seventh life, the Song family sent seven Heaven-Human powerhouses to the border, with two more stationed at home, totaling nine. You feel that Song Shenyi's plan to have only one Heaven-Human ancestor attempt a breakthrough is too cautious.
You suggest going all in.
Song Shenyi almost laughs in exasperation.
He tells you that when a Heaven-Human powerhouse breaks through, they will face the Five Decays of the Heaven-Human Realm, drastically reducing their lifespan. Living to over eighty would be the limit. If they follow your suggestion, the next generation of the Song family's power would be severely weakened, leading to inevitable destruction.
You sigh inwardly.
You know Song Shenyi doesn't fully believe in your identity as a reincarnator.
However, you don't doubt Song Shenyi's honesty. Using Li Wuyi as a reference, he is now at the Perfected Innate Realm, and sixty years later, he becomes a Three Decays Heaven-Human. In just sixty years, he exhausts his lifespan under the torment of the Five Decays Tribulation and falls into oblivion.
This shows that after a Heaven-Human powerhouse breaks through and faces the Five Decays Tribulation, their lifespan is drastically shortened, with sixty years being the maximum. As a top-tier force, the Song family has relatively abundant resources, extending the lifespan to over seventy years, which is a very reasonable figure.
There are certainly Five Decays Heaven-Humans who can live for five hundred years.
The Great Wei Founding Emperor.
The ancestors of the Five Great Sects are examples.
However, the resources consumed in this process are undoubtedly terrifying. Even these top-tier forces can only support one at most.
You think for a moment.
You proactively ask about the cultivation levels of the nine Heaven-Human ancestors of the Song family.
Song Shenyi is surprised, looking you up and down, and asks how you know the Song family has nine Heaven-Humans.
You emphasize your identity as a reincarnator...
After a brief pause.
Song Shenyi tells you that besides himself, a Four Decays Heaven-Human, the Song family has one Three Decays Heaven-Human, one Two Decays Heaven-Human, and six Heaven-Humans who have not yet experienced the Five Decays Tribulation.
You think this ratio is too low.
You suggest raising it to two-thirds.
Song Shenyi shakes his head again, stating that with the current depletion of spiritual energy, top-grade spiritual items are too scarce. Even the Song family can't produce many. To survive the Five Decays Tribulation, one must have spiritual items to nourish the body. Otherwise, even if they forcefully endure the first decline, their bodies will become severely damaged, and they might not last even twenty years before succumbing to death.
You ask, "Ancestor, isn't the Song Family Spirit Pool a top-grade spiritual item?"
Song Shenyi frowns, somewhat displeased, and says, "The Spirit Pool is the foundation of the Song family; how can it be used to overcome the Five Decays Tribulation?"
After a pause, Song Shenyi sighs, "However, in the past, an ancestor of the Song family did use the Spirit Pool to survive the fifth decline of the Heaven-Human Realm. It was during that time that the Spirit Pool suffered severe damage, making it difficult to repair. It is said that before this, a High-Grade Silver Bone could hope to break through to Golden Bones by cultivating in the Spirit Pool. But now, even a Supreme Silver Bone entering it may not be able to temper into Golden Bones. That ancestor regretted it deeply and repeatedly warned his descendants on his deathbed never to use the Spirit Pool to overcome the Five Decays Tribulation again..."
Upon seeing this.
Chen Shi is somewhat enlightened.
In the sixth simulation's reward options, the Song Family Heaven Grade Low-Grade Spirit Pool appeared, indicating it was in a damaged state.
Initially, he thought it was because he hadn't approached the spring, and the Spirit Pool he obtained wasn't complete. Now it seems he was overthinking it.
"This time, obtaining a Heaven Grade Spirit Pool might be used in the next simulation to strengthen the Song family and prepare for potential future crises. If one Spirit Pool isn't enough, then ten or twenty. At that time, with nine Five Decays Heaven-Humans in charge, I want to see what the Mastermind can do..."
Chen Shi thought to himself.
But then, a bold idea gradually formed in his mind.
If, in reality.
A Heaven Grade Spirit Pool were thrown into the Song family.
Wouldn't that count as changing history and having a significant impact on reality?
