Ancient stone steps snaked up to the top of the mountain. From afar, it looked like a huge dragon was winding around the mountain.
Qin Yu stood at the foot of the mountain and felt a sense of dread. He could not help but feel solemn. What attracted Qin Yu's attention was that he could vaguely see many cultivators on the winding stone steps.
These cultivators were dressed in ancient clothes. Most of them were meditating while some were moving forward with difficulty.
What shocked Qin Yu was that he could see thousands of figures within his field of vision. In other words … there were at least tens of thousands of cultivators on the Eternal Peak.
These cultivators … were all ranked first on the Mortal Ranking in the past. They were the ones who passed the test!
If the cultivators on the Myriad Mountain Pass were the best, then the cultivators on the Eternal Peak were the strongest in the mortal world since the Antiquity Age!
These people all relied on their own strength to ascend the Eternal Peak. They were not like him, who relied on trickery!
"In an ancient book, an ancestor once said that the power of time is immeasurable. Perhaps, I can get a glimpse of it from the Eternal Peak." Qin Yu muttered to himself.
If it weren't for the fact that they were in the Eternal World, no one would have imagined that the strongest experts from the Primordial Era would be on this mountain. These people's true bodies might have died in the long river of time, but their strands of karma would remain here forever, forming a unique scenery on the Eternal Peak.
"These are the strongest cultivators who have entered the Eternal World. This Eternal World was created during the Antiquity Age. In other words, the strongest cultivators of the Spiritual Realm from the Antiquity Age are gathered here …" Qin Yu's eyes flickered with a strong desire to battle. If he could fight with these people, his strength would undoubtedly increase greatly.
There were still nine months before the Combat Ranking. This meant that he still had about 38 years to ascend the Eternal Peak. In these 38 years, his strength would definitely increase by another level!
"How many levels can I climb in 38 years?
I don't know how many years it took for those who climbed the Eternal Peak to get to where they are today. I'm afraid it's really difficult to reach the top. "Qin Yu muttered to himself.
According to Kuang Tian, the Eternal Peak had a total of 999,999 levels!
There were two ways to ascend the Eternal Peak. The first way was to challenge others and replace them if they won. The second way was to face the pressure and climb up the peak. Although there was no danger of death, it would cause one to be pushed back by ten steps. When one tried to climb up the peak again, the pressure would be even more terrifying!
Therefore, in the past few years, those who ascended the stone steps would be extremely cautious, not daring to move forward rashly.
"Master, each of the nine hundred and ninety thousand levels of the Eternal Peak is like a natural chasm. If you want to reach the top, it means that you have to cross nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine levels. For countless years, only the Mad Demon of the previous generation managed to accomplish this feat. The others who could reach nine hundred and ninety-nine levels are extremely rare."
It was unknown when Kuang Tian had appeared beside Qin Yu. He looked up at the Eternal Peak with an extremely complicated expression.
In the Eternal World, there were three Eternal Peaks. Each Eternal Peak had nearly a million stone steps. It was like an insurmountable chasm. Nearly a million chasms formed an Eternal Peak. One could imagine how difficult it was to reach the top of the Eternal Peak. This was also why only the previous generation's Mad Devil had succeeded.
"Master, you can challenge other cultivators to improve your cultivation in the early stages. But when you reach the later stages, it's better not to challenge others. After all, the higher you climb, the more terrifying your strength will be!" Kuang Tian advised.
Qin Yu nodded. If it wasn't for Kuang Tian's arrangement, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to reach the top of the Eternal Peak. Those who could ascend the Eternal Peak were all Sequence Disciples. The strength of these Sequence Disciples was truly unfathomable.
If he died in battle, he was afraid that he would have to stay here forever. Therefore, Qin Yu didn't dare to challenge others casually.
"There is a rumor in the Eternal World. The three Eternal Peaks represent the three limits of the Spiritual Realm, the Dao Realm, and the Immortal Realm. The three limits are new realms. For example, the Spiritual Realm is generally considered to be the peak of the Spiritual Realm. But there is another realm between the Spiritual Realm and the Dao Realm. This realm is called the Extreme Realm!"
"Extreme Realm?"
Qin Yu frowned slightly. This was the first time he had heard of this. Generally speaking, the Spiritual Realm was indeed the peak of the Spiritual Realm. But he didn't expect Dao Hong to think that there was an Extreme Realm above the Spiritual Realm!
"If one steps into the Extreme Realm of the Spiritual Realm, the Dao Realm, and the Immortal Realm, then it will be easier for him to step into the legendary Sage Realm in the future!
Of course, it's all the speculation of the Eternal Emperor. So, he built the Eternal World to prove his idea! "Kuang Tian said in a deep voice.
Although this legend had existed for countless years, almost no one in the Eternal World thought that there was an Extreme Realm above the Spiritual Realm. Moreover, they didn't care about this. They just wanted to leave this prison.
Sage Realm?
Qin Yu's pupils shrank sharply. When he was in the Immortal Martial Realm, as the Pavilion Master of the Book Collection Pavilion, he had read all the books in the Book Collection Pavilion. Among them, there was an ancient book that mentioned the Sage Realm. But all the books that mentioned the Sage Realm only had this word, and there was no introduction to the Sage Realm.
It was as if the Sage Realm only existed in people's guesses and fantasies. But now, the purpose of Dao Hong's creation of the Eternal World was actually for the Sage Realm?
However, it made sense. Dao Hong and Chasing Famine were peak experts at the same time. They had already reached the peak of the Immortal Realm. Maybe he could really come into contact with the Sage Realm, but it was difficult for him to break through. So, he wanted to create the Eternal World to prove his speculation.
But when he thought of this, Qin Yu's heart couldn't help but jump. Did this mean that Dao Hong was still alive?
If he wasn't alive, what was the point of creating the Eternal World?
Qin Yu took a deep breath, and his expression became complicated. Although he felt that it was impossible, he felt that things were as he guessed. Dao Hong was still alive …
"Forget it. These are all things for the future. The most important thing now is to wait until I reach the Eternal Peak … and see if the legendary Extreme Realm really exists!" Qin Yu said to himself, and a touch of determination flashed in his eyes.
However, Qin Yu also knew that the Extreme Realm could be Dao Hong's speculation. So, he didn't have much hope. But once it was confirmed that it existed, Qin Yu would step into the Extreme Realm at all costs to prepare for the Sage Realm in the future!
