Qingzhi was both amazed and delighted by Cao Ya's strength. A great change was imminent, and the second great war between heaven and earth was probably not far off. At this time, the emergence of a peak expert with the third reincarnation tribulation on the Tianxuan Continent side was a great thing for the Tianxuan Continent.
"It's time to deal with the Otherworldly Demon race," Cao Ya said calmly.
Aokiji nodded, then smiled wryly and said:
"I must say—although it might seem like I'm diminishing our own prestige while boosting the enemy's—the Otherworldly Demon race is indeed too strong. They even have a sealed Otherworldly Demon Emperor; no one can say for sure when he'll break free. Meanwhile, our Tianxuan Continent has lost its Ancestral Realm talisman ancestor. Alas..."
With a sigh, he thought, "Only those at the Ancestral Realm can rival me!"
Tianxuan Continent is the name of the world of "Martial Universe".
Faced with the alien demon race from beyond the realm, the various factions of the Tianxuan Continent, despite their racial differences, put aside many grudges and formed an alliance to fight against the alien demon race in the face of the world's life and death.
What worries people most is that the talisman ancestor who fought against the alien demon emperor ten thousand years ago was not a being from the Tianxuan Continent. He also came from beyond the realm, but he was alone and belonged to the lawful good camp. He helped the Tianxuan Continent fight against the alien demons and ultimately paid the price with his life.
Regardless of the purpose with which the Symbol Ancestor came to the Tianxuan Continent, judging by his actions rather than his intentions, the Symbol Ancestor's deeds deserve the respect of all races and beings on the Tianxuan Continent.
The two ancestral realms in the history of Tianxuan Continent—the Symbol Ancestor and the Demon Emperor—were both beings from other realms, not native to Tianxuan Continent.
Therefore, some people are worried that the alien demons are restless and the alien demon emperor may break the seal soon. Facing the strongest ancestral realm in history, can the Tianxuan Continent produce an ancestral realm expert to stop the alien demon emperor?
Can the eight disciples under the Statue Ancestor, namely the Eight Ancient Masters, as well as other powerful beings in the Reincarnation Realm, such as the Six-Fingered Holy Dragon Emperor, be revived and attain the Ancestral Realm?
Aokiji knew he had no hope of reaching the Ancestral Realm.
"Cao Ya, you might have the potential to reach the Ancestral Realm," Qingzhi said with anticipation.
All three cycles of reincarnation offer the potential to attain the Dao Ancestor realm.
Of course, correspondingly, the Otherworldly Demon race may also produce a second Demon Emperor.
At times like these, it comes down to a contest of talent and skill between the two strongest individuals.
"Alas, the Eight Ancient Lords, and other ancient powerful beings, most of them have not yet recovered, especially the strongest Ice Lord, Devouring Lord, and Six-Fingered Holy Dragon Emperor. It is not even clear whether they can return." Qingzhi sighed.
Among the eight ancient masters, the Ice Master is the leader, but the Devouring Master has the strongest overall combat power. The Six-Finger Holy Dragon Emperor is superior to the other six masters, but slightly inferior to the Ice Master and the Devouring Master.
Cao Ya raised an eyebrow, but did not mention that he possessed power comparable to that of an Ancestral Realm expert.
In the world of "Martial Universe," the cultivation system is divided into the Yuan Power route and the Talisman Master route.
The realms of the Yuanli path are: Body Tempering Realm, Earth Yuan Realm, Heaven Yuan Realm, Yuan Dan Realm, Creation Three Realms, Nine Revolutions Nirvana Realm, Life Profound Realm, Death Profound Realm, Reincarnation Realm, Reincarnation Realm, and Ancestral Realm.
Among them, the Body Tempering Realm, Earth Origin Realm, and Heaven Origin Realm are one-star levels; the Yuan Dan Realm, Creation Realm, and Nine Revolutions Nirvana Realm are two-star levels; and the Life Profound Realm, Death Profound Realm, Reincarnation Realm, and Reincarnation Realm are three-star levels.
The Ancestral Realm is naturally a four-star level.
Cao Ya is currently in the Reincarnation Realm, specifically at the peak of the Reincarnation Realm, specifically the third Reincarnation Tribulation.
The cultivation of the Samsara Realm is different from other realms. It requires passing through Samsara Tribulations, and is therefore divided into the ordinary Samsara Realm and the first Samsara Tribulation, the second Samsara Tribulation, and the third Samsara Tribulation.
After advancing to the Reincarnation Realm, their dantian will also transform into the Sea of Reincarnation. Such individuals are undoubtedly the most powerful beings in the world. They control life and death, and to some extent, even the passage of time cannot erase them.
Some ancient super-powerful beings at the Reincarnation Realm, if they failed to transcend the Reincarnation Tribulation, would use their supernatural powers before death to preserve a bit of their spirituality, thus reincarnating and waiting for an opportunity to activate their spirituality, and be reborn in the world to live a second life.
If you don't have this ability, how can you call it reincarnation?
That's why Aokiji hopes that the super-powerful beings of the ancient reincarnation realm will one after another revive and return in this era of great strife.
Most of those strong people are stronger than him.
"The Ancestral Realm is indeed difficult." Cao Ya sighed. Although his power had reached the four-star level, comparable to the Ancestral Realm, it was due to the power of other systems, especially the profound system of laws and rules of the [Panlong] universe.
In terms of the cultivation system and Yuan Power path in the world of "Martial Universe", Cao Ya has reached the third reincarnation tribulation.
Along the path of the Talisman Master, Cao Ya is also at the Divine Palace Realm.
However, neither of them reached the ancestral realm.
The Ancestral Realm is extremely difficult; Cao Ya has cultivated for over ten thousand years but has still not succeeded.
During those ten thousand years, he was very worried, and it was only after entering the system space that his worries disappeared.
Unlike the Yuanli route, the Talisman Master route focuses on cultivating spiritual power and is divided into Five-Seal Talisman Master, Spirit Talisman Master, Nine-Seal Heavenly Talisman Master, Immortal Talisman Master, Great and Small Talisman Masters, Half-Step Divine Palace Realm, and Divine Palace Realm.
Five-Seal Talisman Masters correspond to the Earthly Origin Realm to the Great Perfection of the Yuan Dan in the Yuan Power route; Spirit Talisman Masters correspond to the Three Realms of Creation; Nine-Seal Heavenly Talisman Masters correspond to the Nine Revolutions Nirvana Realm; Immortal Talisman Masters correspond to the Profound Realm of Life and Death; and the Great and Small Talisman Sects basically correspond to the Reincarnation Realm and the Reincarnation Realm.
The half-step Divine Palace Realm, which is above the Great and Small Talisman Sects, is only reached by a very few beings, such as the seventh of the Eight Ancient Lords and the Six-Fingered Holy Dragon Emperor.
As for the Divine Palace Realm, so far only the Symbol Ancestor and the Ice Lord have reached it, and Lin Dong will follow later.
This is roughly equivalent to the peak of the Triple Reincarnation Tribulation in the Yuanli route.
It can be said that the strongest realm of the Talisman Master route—the Divine Palace Realm—is lower than the Ancestral Realm of the Yuan Power route.
Even the ancestor of runes didn't reach that level.
The Ancestral Symbol Master's cultivation in Yuan Power has only reached the Ancestral Realm. If his spiritual power also reaches the Ancestral Realm, surpassing the Divine Palace Realm, the combined strength of the two will undoubtedly increase dramatically. Cao Ya speculates that if that were the case, the Ancestral Symbol Master would no longer need to burn his reincarnation; a direct confrontation would be enough to suppress the Demon Emperor and even seal the dimensional rift.
But there are no "what ifs" in life.
In the end, the talisman ancestor burned the cycle of reincarnation to seal the alien demon emperor and the dimensional rift, helping the Tianxuan Continent gain ten thousand years of time.
Therefore, the talisman ancestor was different from the demon emperor and was loved and respected by the people of Tianxuan Continent.
The Demon Emperor and his demon race engaged in burning, killing, and looting, aiming to dominate the Tianxuan Continent, slaughter all living beings, and reshape the world to make it suitable for the demon race to multiply and thrive.
This is a battle for survival! This is a struggle for the world!
“The Ancestral Realm is indeed difficult. Throughout history, no living being in our Tianxuan Continent has ever broken through to the Ancestral Realm,” Qingzhi sighed.
Qingzhi only knew that Cao Yayuan's cultivation had reached the third level of reincarnation, but he was unaware that Cao Ya's talisman master path had also reached the Divine Palace realm.
Cao Ya intentionally concealed his cultivation of spiritual power, just like the other powers he gained after visiting the system space.
Cao Ya does not intend to announce it directly. To defeat the Demon Emperor, the seal must first be broken.
If he reveals his cultivation level, people will probably ask him to reinforce the seal.
Because no one believed that Cao Ya, a newly promoted Ancestral Realm cultivator, could kill the Demon Emperor, something that even the Ancestral Symbol Master from ten thousand years ago couldn't do. What merit did Cao Ya possess?
What Cao Ya didn't like was that he wanted to completely eliminate the Demon Emperor, not just seal him away.
Cao Ya decided to wait and observe the situation. In any case, with him there, the situation wouldn't collapse and he could turn the tide.
As for morality and such things, Cao Ya never cared about them.
