The Birth of Sword God

Chapter 412 - 353: Night Venerable

Chu Huaixu temporarily did not know that what he had achieved, the "Black Sky During Daylight," was not limited to this small black sea region.

To be precise, through this small world detached from the Kunlun Cave Heaven, it directly affected the entire Kunlun Cave Heaven!

Within the cave heaven, it was clearly still noon.

The sky had inexplicably turned black.

Whether it was disciples of the Kunlun Saint Sect or those from various cultivation sects, they couldn’t help but look up at the sky.

The sudden Heaven and Earth Phenomena startled everyone in the Kunlun Cave Heaven.

Those cultivators at the Qi Refining Stage used as talent, mostly had expressions of shock on their faces.

Aside from shock, there was a bit of bewilderment.

"Why did the sky suddenly turn black?"

"What’s going on here?"

"Huh! I’ve been cultivating for over ten years, and it’s the first time I’ve encountered such a thing."

"Could it be that a celestial dog is devouring the sun?"

"You’re silly, a celestial dog devouring the sun wouldn’t happen this quickly!"

"True, what kind of dog could swallow the sun in one bite."

If Chu Huaixu could hear these conversations, his mood would probably be a bit complicated.

As for the cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage and Golden Core Stage, as higher-level talents, they all frowned.

At their level, their thoughts wouldn’t be so naive.

"Could it be some shocking immortal treasure appearing?"

"Or perhaps some Immortal Venerable is casting a spell?"

These people were at least a hundred years old.

But even Golden Core Stage cultivators mostly hadn’t seen an Immortal Venerable in action.

However, they had seen the methods of Nascent Soul True Monarchs.

Thus, in these people’s minds, if some phenomenon was beyond the abilities of powerful Nascent Soul True Monarchs, they would instinctively attribute it to an Immortal Venerable.

As for how powerful an Immortal Venerable truly is, that depends on the limits of their imagination.

In the Kunlun Cave Heaven, there are too many legends about the Divinity Transformation Stage.

Whether these legends are true or false, Golden Core Stage cultivators might know a bit, but those at the Foundation Establishment Stage, as higher talents, probably know very little.

But once cultivation reaches the Nascent Soul Stage, a qualitative change occurs.

——Below Nascent Soul, all are ants!

What can ants perceive of the sky?

The number of Nascent Soul True Monarchs within the entire Kunlun Cave Heaven is extremely rare.

These people, as long as they don’t fight among themselves, basically can rely on possession to achieve longevity.

In fact, these so-called Nascent Soul True Monarchs know very well: "What is called longevity is not true immortality."

Even if they rely on possession, after their lifespan runs out and live another life, there will still be an end.

The reason is simple, it is true they can achieve longevity.

But this world’s lifespan also has an end.

Only upon reaching the Nascent Soul Stage can one know: the so-called Kunlun Cave Heaven is merely a small "Cave Heaven World," a small thousand world.

There is a difference between it and the true Great Thousand Worlds.

Cultivators essentially go against the heavens, belonging to those who plunder the world.

These Nascent Soul True Monarchs, achieving longevity, are like continuously sucking the blood of this heaven and earth.

The moment the Cave Heaven World collapses is when they perish.

At the level of a Nascent Soul True Monarch, they naturally know of the existence of the Profound Yellow Realm.

To them, invading the Profound Yellow Realm is very important.

Although the Kunlun Cave Heaven is not far from the collapse of heaven and earth,

it can at least maintain for hundreds of years.

Hundreds of years are but a flick of the finger for an Immortal Venerable.

For a Nascent Soul True Monarch, it may not even be a lifetime.

But there is still time to plan slowly.

However, the Cave Heaven World is truly "too small."

The number of Celestial Dao Fruit Positions that a small thousand world can produce is limited.

The fruit positions in this world have already been completely occupied, and if they want to advance further, there’s only one path!

——Invasion of the Profound Yellow!

Forcefully integrate this realm with the Profound Yellow Realm, thereby birthing new fruit positions!

There is no other way.

Moreover, in the Profound Yellow Realm, there are missing fruit positions!

Because in the Kunlun Cave Heaven, there is a missing fruit position, it means a large part of the heavenly rules and the Power of the Heavenly Dao is incomplete, accelerating the collapse of this realm and the loss of fortune.

If by normal speed, this Cave Heaven World could at least maintain for several thousand years, everything could still be slowly planned.

At this moment, within the Kunlun Saint Sect, two Nascent Soul True Monarchs were sitting opposite each other drinking tea.

These two were disciples of that white-haired youth.

One male and one female, the male called True Monarch Ling Xiao, the female True Monarch Chi Xi.

The entire Kunlun Cave Heaven instantly fell into darkness, and they couldn’t help but look up at the sky.

The sun that originally existed in the sky had disappeared.

——Covering the sky.

——Obstructing the sun.

On the faces of the two true monarchs appeared expressions of endless astonishment.

True Monarch Chi Xi, as a dignified Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse, was shocked to the point of standing up from the stone bench.

True Monarch Ling Xiao couldn’t help but slowly rise, looking up at the sky.

Immediately, the two exchanged a glance.

True Monarch Chi Xi even had slightly trembling pupils.

"Di... Divinity Transformation Immortal Venerable!" Her voice carried a slight quiver, full of disbelief.

True Monarch Ling Xiao sank into prolonged silence.

"Senior brother, do you know something?" the woman couldn’t help but ask when she saw his expression.

As the Little Junior Sister, she has not spent as much time with the Master as the Elder Brother has.

There are some things the Master would mention to the Elder Brother but might not necessarily tell her.

After hesitating for a moment, True Monarch Ling Xiao said, "This matter should not have been revealed to you, but since such an anomaly has manifested, I estimate that the Master and Uncle Master will soon inform all the True Monarchs."

"Junior Sister, do you know what kind of authority this is?"

True Monarch Chi Xi promptly assumed an attentive posture and said, "I know not, Brother, I hope you will tell me."

"This is the Taiyin Eternal Night Authority!"

"It is the power of the Divinity Transformation Fruit Position!"

"The bearer of this Fruit Position is called the Night Immortal Venerable by the Master!"

True Monarch Chi Xi was momentarily stunned upon hearing this.

"Brother, this Night Venerable..." She paused for a moment, glanced around, seemingly unwilling to discuss further.

After looking into the Elder Brother’s eyes, she finally spoke with ease, "Elder Brother, who is this Night Venerable?"

"Why have I never heard Master mention it?"

"For all these years, I’ve not been fortunate enough to witness the true face of the Night Venerable."

True Monarch Ling Xiao immediately replied, "Junior Sister, you are unaware."

"You reached the Nascent Soul Realm a thousand years ago."

"You are the last Nascent Soul True Monarch of Kunlun Cave Heaven to date."

"Do you know why this is?"

True Monarch Chi Xi: "I am unaware, Brother, I hope you can clarify."

"Back during that time, you were still in the Golden Core Stage, in closed-door cultivation."

True Monarch Ling Xiao, who is usually calm, had a slight tremor in his voice when talking about this matter:

"Someone...came from outside the realm and slew the Night Venerable!"

That brief sentence spread instant fear across True Monarch Chi Xi’s delicate face.

"Wha...what!?"

"Elder Brother, are you saying there was an external enemy in our Kunlun Cave Heaven...that they slew the Divinity Transformation Immortal Venerable?"

"Impossible! Elder Brother, this is utterly impossible!"

"The Divinity Transformation Immortal Venerable, possessing the Fruit Position, embodied the Dao, how could they possibly perish in body and soul!"

"If the Divinity Transformation perishes, wouldn’t that mean the Heavenly Dao within our Kunlun Cave Heaven would collapse!" True Monarch Chi Xi’s tone rose a few pitches.

This completely exceeded her understanding.

True Monarch Ling Xiao’s dark eyes stared steadily into hers, and then, he said word by word:

"Little Junior Sister, if not for the collapse of the Heavenly Dao, how could you be the last Nascent Soul True Monarch in such a vast Kunlun Cave Heaven!"

"How could it be that in this thousand-year period, no one else has attained the Nascent Soul position!"

"Could it be, Junior Sister, that you believe you are a genius unrivaled in the world?"

These two sentences hit True Monarch Chi Xi’s heart like heavy punches.

"Is it because the Heavenly Dao of Kunlun Cave Heaven...has already collapsed?" True Monarch Chi Xi felt a bit disoriented.

Had she become the last fortunate one?

True Monarch Ling Xiao nodded slightly, continuing, "With the collapse of the Heavenly Dao, trying to comprehend the Nascent Soul Realm now is like ascending to the heavens, it’s ten to a hundred times harder than before!"

"The Master has been plotting the matters of the Origin Spirit Realm for a thousand years."

"The Nascent Soul True Monarchs who ventured to the Fifth Floor of the Origin Spirit Realm are few, and mostly they won more than they lost, but a few have died in this thousand years too."

"Last year, Ye Kongxuan entered inside with a possessive body, and didn’t he die?"

"In such circumstances, the Divinity Transformation Immortal Venerables would silently permit the emergence of several more Nascent Souls between Heaven and Earth."

"Indeed, individuals like the Master and Uncle Master might even be stirring waves from the shadows, for example...a thousand years ago, achieving you, Junior Sister!"

He stared into True Monarch Chi Xi’s eyes while saying this.

This left the woman stunned in place.

She couldn’t help it; the amount of information was simply too immense.

The death of Immortal Venerable, the collapse of Heavenly Dao!

Someone from outside the realm, how could that be possible!

However, she quickly reacted.

"Elder Brother, but looking at this scene now, does it mean someone has attained the Night Venerable’s Divinity Transformation Fruit Position!"

True Monarch Ling Xiao nodded and said, "Indeed."

He raised his head to look at the sky.

If someone hadn’t attained the Divinity Transformation Fruit Position, obtained the power of the Celestial Dao Fruit Position, controlled part of the Heavenly Dao rules, possessed some supreme authority, how could they accomplish such a feat?

To turn thoughts into night, obscure the sun in an instant.

This supreme might can only be achieved by becoming the Night Venerable!

Little Junior Sister True Monarch Chi Xi reaches Nascent Soul, but merely a thousand years have passed.

Compared to those like them, who have been stuck in the Nascent Soul Realm for several thousand years, she’s far behind.

Yet despite this, her eyes showed endless desire, and endless envy.

She then spoke:

"I wonder which Nascent Soul True Monarch has such unheard-of fortune to attain this Night Venerable Fruit Position and achieve Taiyin Eternal Night Authority."

Her heart felt quite emotional.

It’s just a pity, the Fruit Position is scarce, once occupied, it’s forever out of reach.

Unless...the Divinity Transformation dies!

This is also why other Nascent Soul True Monarchs do not disclose this matter to others.

The more people aware of it, the more competitors for the position!

However, the Elder Brother’s next words struck her like a bolt of lightning.

"It’s not some Nascent Soul True Monarch who attained the Fruit Position!"

"Because the Fruit Position is simply not in Kunlun Cave Heaven."

"After slaying the Night Venerable, that person somehow managed to forcibly take the Fruit Position back to the Profound Yellow Realm!"
