Chapter 396: Chapter 395: Return to the River of Ti

“Indeed, the so-called different space is actually the Ti River.”

“Mortals who co here will lose their mories due to their unfamiliarity with the way of ti, leaving their minds unoccupied and void in this place.”

Jiang Li stood on the bank of the Ti River, watching the rushing river flow past, murmuring quietly to himself.

He had visited the Ti River once before, where the Past and Present Sword transford into a white fish said it had seen him downstream in the future. That ant he was destined to return here, so he specifically learned much about the Ti River from Ji Zhi.

“But this ti it’s probably not the visit the Past and Present Sword was referring to.”

Jiang Li bent down to observe the Ti River. The place he was in was the Ti River of the Wei Gu World whereas the Past and Present Sword had t an him from the future in the Ti River of the Jiuzhou world.

Different worlds have different ti flows and are separated by boundaries and voids, resulting in different Ti Rivers.

There are heavy walls on both banks of the river, feeling like cotton candy to the touch. The other side of the wall is the Ti River of another world.

For the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty Family, this wall seems like an invincible Immortal Artifact, hard to shake. But Jiang Li felt he could overturn it.

However, he was warned by Ji Kongkong and Ji Zhi, that the Ti River reflects reality and can also influence reality. Knocking down the wall ans two worlds will beco interconnected, and no one knows what will happen. There is uncertainty in both fortune and disaster.

“Follow the advice of the professionals,” Jiang Li stopped paying attention to the wall issue.

The Ti River was still shrouded in chaotic fog, obscuring the past and the future. Jiang Li could only see as far as he walked.

If it was Ji Zhi here, he could only travel two hundred years upstream along the Ti River. After that, he would et with enormous resistance and could not proceed any further.

If Bai Hongtu was here, he would have been unable to move even an inch. Only those who comprehend the way of ti can move through the Ti River.

Jiang Li, however, was an exception. The limitations of the Ti River were not applicable to him. He could wander freely between the past and the future.

Jiang Li went upstream of the Ti River, which is the past of Wei Gu World.

He walked with his hands behind his back, intermittently looking down to observe the history of the Wei Gu World, finding it much more vivid than the cold words recorded in history books.

As he walked further into the past, the conflict between ordinary people and those with special abilities intensified. When special powers first appeared, they created a clear division between ordinary people and the powerful.

As he walked, Jiang Li pondered. Actually, the gap between special ability users and ordinary people was not so great. The widest chasm existed in the cultivation world.

A first-order special ability individual could possibly kill a fourth-order one, but could one at the Qi Cultivation Stage ever kill a Nascent Soul-stage practitioner? Of course not.

The Qi Cultivation, Foundation Establishnt, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Divinity Transformation, Soul lding, and Transcendence Tribulation stages, these seven stages of cultivation were like seven insurmountable chasms.

“Cultivation… The power resides within oneself…”

Jiang Li rembered the Ancient World, a place filled with intense struggles in the cultivation world.

Jiang Li had been to many worlds, but most of them were technological. The only genuine cultivation world was the Ancient World.

The Ring Universe, where martial arts are practiced, had powerful martial artists, but the pinnacle of power was limited. Even swarming tactics could pose threats, hardly a true world where power resides within oneself.

Only worlds like Jiuzhou World and Ancient World could be considered true realms where the power resides within oneself.

“The biggest problem with the cultivation world lies in the fact that the top cultivators are too powerful, and they have a direct influence on the trajectory of the world.”

“When the gap between people becos too large, it signifies that everyone’s value is no longer equal. Human life becos cheap, and high-level cultivators may look down on their lower-level counterparts as if looking at pigs and dogs.”

Jiang Li tutted in disapproval. The more he thought about it, the more he felt Jiuzhou was extrely unique.”

Jiang Li stopped in his tracks, no longer dwelling on the issue.

Because he had arrived almost six thousand years in the past, the ti when the Heavenly Demons from the outer realm had instigated the humans to unlock the wielding of special abilities.

A heavenly demon, whose appearance was unclear, descended, scanning the world with his divine sense. Humans were not the supre species of this era. They were threatened by floods and ferocious beasts, yet their intelligence and capacity for reproduction made them prevalent across Wei Gu World.

“Tch, there are too many of them to eradicate all at once. They will have to die slowly.”

The heavenly demon was quite vexed with the census results. The population of Wei Gu World barely t the criteria for a slow mass extinction. If it was two or three ten percent more negligible, he could kill them directly without worrying about them collectively visualizing and creating sothing he would fear before they die.

“Consider yourselves lucky.”

The heavenly demon road around the Wei Gu World for half a month, finally deriving a plan to cause the human race to die off slowly.

“In a world with scarce spiritual energy, cultivation will not reach substantial heights. The Demon race of the Immortal Realm had offspring here, but after generations, their bloodline has diluted to the verge of non-existence, transforming demon beasts back into ordinary wild beasts.”

“The five elents birth and subdue each other, creating all things, and most humans have Five Elents Spiritual Roots. Since this is the case, I will select a select few lucky ones, cause a reaction inside their Five Elents Spiritual Roots, and give birth to an unusual energy.”

“Although they will not beco too strong, it will provide enough differentiation. When differences appear between people, it ans contrast and conflict erges. Human desire will amplify this contrast and contradiction until it eventually evolves into uncontrollable chaos.”

“Well, I’ve made up my mind.”

Jiang Li stood up to head to an earlier ti node—the ti when the Steps to Immortality in Wei Gu World had broken.

Jiang Li traveled about two hundred years distance to find his goal.

“I’m curious to see how the Steps to Immortality disappeared.”

Jiang Li squatted down, his expression solemn.

Six thousand years ago, Wei Gu World was in the tribal age. Their language was barely matured, and they had just abandoned rope knot recording. Cultivation and special abilities were still unknown in this era.

Humans were not the rulers of the world then, so it’s not surprising that Wei Gu World’s history books did not concretely record how the heavenly demons opened their special abilities, let alone how the Steps to Immortality broke. In such a scene.

The verbal stories passed down to six thousand years later have already morphed into indistinguishable legends that vastly differ from what actually happened.

People back then were still struggling for survival. They had no idea that the Immortal Realm had built Steps to Immortality to give them the opportunity to beco immortals. Even less did they think that on the Ti River, there was a pair of eyes watching them.

The golden Steps to Immortality were hidden in the sky, existing between reality and illusion, one end connected to Wei Gu World, the other to the Immortal Realm.

When cultivators reached the Transcendence Tribulation Stage, they would faintly sense the existence of the Steps to Immortality. The sensing was not clear, and only those who had beco immortals could see and move freely through them.

There was no one in Wei Gu World at that ti who noticed the existence of the Steps to Immortality.

Although Jiang Li wasn’t at the Transcendence Tribulation Stage and had not yet beco an Immortal, he could see everything clearly.

This was the first ti he had seen the complete Steps to Immortality.

Soon, an abrupt change occurred.
