Chapter 270 I Heard a Rumor

Huo Hetian said: "I do this for a reason. When the disciples with the "Tian" character become stronger, they will be able to take on the responsibility of protecting the sect. There are many evil cultivators and demon cultivators in this world, and each sect needs to cultivate a few top fighters..."

Luo Mingyue asked: "Excuse me, what does [Top Combat Power] mean?"

She is in the Jindan stage, and she doesn't dare to say that she is the top combat force. She can only be regarded as the strongest in the world of immortal cultivation at present, because above the Jindan stage, there are Yuanying stage, Huashen stage, and Dujie stage.

Huo Hetian's face showed embarrassment. "What I mean is, to train a few disciples who have reached the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Stage... After all, it is rare to reach the Golden Core Stage nowadays, and reaching the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Stage is already considered a genius."

Luo Mingyue nodded, "That's true..."

Huo Hetian said again: "Excuse me, Sect Master Luo, have you already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage?"

Luo Mingyue said: "No."

Huo Hetian said, "Really? I've seen the [Concentrating Heart Mirror] that the Sect Master sold. You fought one against two and won easily. I thought you had already advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, but you were just keeping a low profile and didn't make it public."

Luo Mingyue said: "No, I have five spiritual roots: gold, wood, water, fire and earth, so I can defeat cultivators of the same level."

Huo Hetian said: "But according to rumors, you have killed many Jindan-stage sea beasts, and even killed Yuanying-stage sea beasts... Many people find this rumor outrageous and think that it exaggerates your strength."

Luo Mingyue said: "I have indeed killed many sea beasts of the same level, and there are also Yuanying stage sea beasts... but the number of Yuanying stage sea beasts is very small."

Huo Hetian said: "By the way, I also heard a rumor..."

Luo Mingyue asked: "What?"

Huo Hetian suddenly regretted his words. He said, "Forget it. I won't say any more. Many rumors in this world are false."

Luo Mingyue was speechless, "You've already aroused my curiosity, and now you're talking about this... Don't worry about whether it's true or not, just tell me."

Huo Hetian said: "I heard that in ancient times, the world was complete. Later, the [Four Evils of Heaven] were sealed. The evil energy slowly leaked out from the cracks in the seal, infiltrating the thoughts and consciousness of all living beings in the world, constantly provoking incidents. People were annoyed, so they gathered together to discuss countermeasures."

"Sect Master Luo, you should know that we cultivators and the demon world were originally one and the same, and we could interact with each other until one day, when the demon world and the cultivators were suddenly separated. That's because a group of top masters spent tens of thousands of years to build a powerful barrier that completely separated the demon world from the cultivator world... This barrier was not completed all at once, but took effect gradually. At the beginning, when the barrier had a prototype, the spiritual energy in the world gathered in the cultivator world, and the demon world was set up with the law of [Spirit Forbidden], which prohibited all spiritual power spells." Speaking of this, Huo Hetian felt a little thirsty, and casually took out two cups of hot tea from the storage space. He handed one of the cups to Luo Mingyue and said, "Sect Master, this is the Kunjuan tea grown in our sect. It tastes good. You can try it."

Luo Mingyue took it and thanked him. She blew away the hot steam rising from the teacup and took a sip. "It has a light and elegant fragrance. Very good."

Huo Hetian's fingertips radiated cold spiritual power, which warmed the tea. He drank it all in one gulp before continuing, "Later, the barrier was completely built. It not only served as a partition, but also divided the entire world into two... including the laws of heaven and the authority of the world, which were also divided."

Luo Mingyue said: "The rules of heaven are understandable, they are the fundamental laws governing the operation of heaven and earth...but what does world authority mean?"

Huo Hetian said, "I'm not sure either, but I have a vague guess... The word authority is actually easy to understand. Misfortune, death, harvest, light, darkness, etc., these are all authority. I heard that the most important [bloodline] authority was divided up by the demon world, while [spiritual root] authority belongs to the cultivation world. Therefore, anyone with spiritual roots can cultivate by absorbing spiritual energy. As for the demon world... I'm not sure, and I don't know how the people of the demon world cultivate."

"In addition, there is another most important authority, which is [Power]. Most of this authority has been taken away by the demon world..."

"The demon world needs [power] to suppress the [Four Evils of Heaven]."

"Rumor has it that it is precisely because too much [Power] authority has been lost that the power that the cultivation world can accommodate is limited, and many people find it particularly difficult to cultivate."

"Moreover, the cultivation world can only accommodate cultivators at the Golden Core stage, so we will never be able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage..."

Huo Hetian sighed and continued, "In fact, I didn't believe this rumor in my heart. I felt it was just a made-up story. But later, I found that my cultivation had reached the end after the foundation-building stage. I couldn't improve my strength no matter what I did. That kind of predicament made me feel confused... I was really unwilling to accept it."

Luo Mingyue said: "I have killed sea beasts in the Nascent Soul stage, which shows that there are still Nascent Souls in our world of cultivation."

Huo Hetian shook his head. "It's different. The lifespan of sea beasts is very long. They may have lived for tens of thousands of years. Before the barrier was formed, they had already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage. In addition, the entire barrier starts from the earth and spreads to the sky, and finally begins to extend to the underground and the ocean. I don't think the cultivation strength of sea beasts has reference value... The most important thing is that you fought with a sea beast in the Nascent Soul stage, which is a battle of higher level. If you won with difficulty, it means you are a genius, but in fact, you killed several sea beasts in the Nascent Soul stage. It sounds like you won easily, which means that your strength is far beyond the Nascent Soul stage. But your strength is so strong, but your realm remains at the Golden Core stage... Doesn't this confirm the truth of the rumor?"

Luo Mingyue murmured, "So this is the truth of the matter? But why have I never heard of such a rumor... Where did you hear it from?"

Huo Hetian said: "More than ten years ago, I met an old blind man at the beach. The old blind man had no spiritual power in his body and looked like an ordinary person. But when the waves came, he sat steadily on the beach, motionless. I was worried that his mortal body would be washed away by the waves and drowned, so I went forward and grabbed his arm, trying to take him away, but found that I couldn't pull him away..."

"I just realized that he must be a master."

"When the waves receded, he asked me if I had any wine. I took it out from my storage space and gave it to him. He drank generously, and after he finished, he chatted with me. When we talked about the demon world, tears came out of the old blind man's eyes. He told me about the barrier and said that he was a participant in the incident. The thing he regretted most in his life was to set up the barrier that separated the world of immortal cultivation from the demon world."
