Chapter 853
For the next two days, the ten members of the Heaven Alliance were divided into two groups .
A team of three stayed in Gushan City mainly to source for information while the other group of seven was assigned the task to hunt for items . They came to an agreement whereby the seven of them would share the items they found with all ten of them aside from the monster carcasses that they obtained .
Lin Huang chose to stay in Gushan City where he was responsible for collecting information at the library .
For the past two days, apart from the library closing at night, Lin Huang practically did not leave the library at all . With Bloody's help, he was wading through a sea of information rapidly each day .
This world had a completely different cultivation system compared to the outside world .
In the outside world, life wheel-level cultivators were called "mortal-levels" in this world . The more common name for them would be "warriors" .
People on one level higher, which was holy fire-level, were called "mortal transformation-levels" there .
Meanwhile, immortal-levels were called "ascendance-levels" .
People on the next level, which was imperial-level, were called "human immortals" .
Lin Huang read about even higher levels which were the earth immortals and the celestial immortals . He speculated that those were Virtual Gods and True Gods in the outside world .
Since the ancient books had such complete recording on different levels, Lin Huang was sure that there must have been Virtual Gods and even True Gods in this world . However, he was not sure if there were any now .
Ever since they entered the foggy area, the most powerful local powerhouse that Lin Huang and the rest had seen was just ascendance-level which was the same as immortal-level . They did not even see a single human immortal (imperial-level) .
Full of doubts, Lin Huang skimmed through many other books, but he did not find any explanation about the disappearance of human immortals . Eventually, he had to ask Lu Wen about it .
Hearing the question, Lu Wen looked at him rather oddly, but he explained anyway, "You should know that people on ascendance-level will have to go on the Immortal Path to obtain immortal roots in order to elevate to human immortal-level, don't you?"
"I know that . " Naturally, Lin Huang knew about the requirement to get to human immortal-level . "We've never seen any human immortals until now . Is it because it's difficult to go on the Immortal Path?"
"Difficulty isn't the only factor…" Lu Wen looked helpless as he let out a long sigh while shaking his head . "Throughout these tens of thousands of years, nobody came back alive after taking the Immortal Path . Not even one!"
"How can that be?!" Lin Huang was shocked to hear that .
"Aside from humans, the same goes for those demons too . Everyone who goes on the Immortal Path goes missing," Lu Wen continued further, "There has been a rumor in the past 1,000 years that the Immortal Path in our world has been cut off . "
"You mean there are no human immortals in this entire world?" Lin Huang queried immediately .
"I'm not sure if there're any now . " Lu Wen shook his head, feeling helpless . "All I know is that there were human immortals in this world tens of thousands of years ago . Even more potent powerhouses existed . But one day, all the powerhouses above human immortal-level vanished out of nowhere . Later on, something happened to the Immortal Path . Since then, nobody has ever elevated to human immortal again . The stars above seemed to be cut off as well, so there's no way for human immortals to elevate to earth immortals . "
"People on mortal transformation-level live up to 1,800 years, while ascendance-levels can go up to 3,000 years . No matter how powerful a human immortal is, he can only live up to 10,000 years . In order to live, they have to seal themselves . Since then, there've been fewer and fewer human immortals in this world . Now that tens of thousands of years have passed, nobody knows if those human immortals who sealed themselves are still alive . Furthermore, there are no longer any ascendance-level powerhouses who dare to go on the Immortal Path now . "
"Didn't any human immortal try to take the Immortal Path to see what went wrong?" Lin Huang could not help but ask .
