Upon hearing Cao Ya's question, Suirenshi seemed to roll his eyes.
"Let's talk about it when you become a super ancestral god! You're not even an ancestral god yet, why are you thinking so far ahead?"
Suirenshi was helpless.
Calling Cao Ya a coward is an understatement; he is ambitious, having only reached the ninth level of the Half-Ancestor realm, perhaps even a War Ancestor—but a War Ancestor cannot advance above the Ancestral God realm. However, he has already set his sights on the Stone King path, which is above the Ancestral God realm.
Cao Ya was farsighted and ambitious, but he was also incredibly cowardly and a master at playing dead.
For tens of thousands of years, there was only one exception. Suirenshi only remembered that tens of thousands of years ago, during the invasion from another world, Cao Ya fought his way out of the world of death and punched the other world's half-ancestor and ancestral god!
Upon considering this, Suirenshi pondered and felt that he should indeed provide Cao Ya with some assistance.
"The road to Shirenwang is fraught with difficulties and dangers."
Cao Ya sighed and said:
"Billions of years have passed, and the Death World has fallen from the center of all realms and been replaced by the Primordial Heavenly Realm. However, the masters of those ancient demon cities have not yet broken out of their seals. I'm afraid that 99% of the powerful ones have failed in their transformation and simply failed."
Suirenshi also sighed:
"This path is indeed too dangerous. More than 90% of the strong find it difficult to complete. And those who can take that final step are even rarer. Moreover, not every stone man strong can successfully take that final step and prove the Stone Man King realm."
Suirenshi saw far too many examples of such failures.
The Stone King's Path refers to a cultivation path for peak experts at the ninth level of the Ancestral God realm, who, in order to reach even greater heights, break through the shackles of the Ancestral God realm and step towards a higher level.
The Stone King's Path can be described as a path dedicated to cultivating the divine body, a process of petrifying and transforming the ancestral god's flesh and blood into a true stone body.
Due to its unique nature, cultivators on this path need to build cities, bury themselves within them, and take root in them to cultivate a stone body. Moreover, before taking the final step, their main body cannot leave the demon city; at most, some of their spirits can venture out.
This kind of transformation usually takes several civilizations to complete.
However, those that have failed to take the final step for hundreds of millions of years are 99% doomed.
"The ancient demon cities we chose are all without masters—or to be more precise, their masters perished, their soul fires extinguished, and they died on the path to becoming Stone Kings," said Suirenshi, with some emotion.
In comparison, he actually prefers to choose the path of the Supreme Ancestral God.
However, compared to the Stone King's Path, which follows the physical path, the Path of the Supreme Ancestral God, which follows the path of divine consciousness, is far more dangerous.
Although there are no restrictions from the Primordial Demon City, it is feared that before any enlightenment, there will be no progress for billions of years.
At least the stone men on the Stone King's Path have improved in all aspects of their cultivation, such as physical strength, spiritual strength, power, and divine laws, and can be called strong stone men.
Once the final step is taken, it will be the Stone King.
The powerful cultivators on the path to supreme godhood, after billions of years of arduous cultivation, still stagnate and show no signs of improvement. This is an immense and unimaginable blow to their morale.
Of course, once the final step is taken, a peak expert at the Great Perfection of the Supreme Ancestral God level can rival a top-tier Stone King, while an ordinary Stone King would be inferior.
Suirenshi felt that perhaps the Path of the Supreme Ancestral God would be more suitable for him.
As for the Martial Ancestor, without a doubt, the Stone King Road is the most suitable for him.
Cao Ya hadn't really thought about what path he should take if he were to reach the peak of the Ninth Heaven of Ancestral God.
In short, let's become ancestral gods first!
“By the way, Suirenshi, when I advanced to the War Ancestor, I saw a vision of the future, and I feel I must remind you of it,” Cao Ya suddenly said.
Suiren listened attentively.
"It seems that the Ancestral Dragon Ship of the Nine Provinces has caught the eye of a powerful ancient being who has been sealed away for centuries," Cao Ya said, adding, "A true ancient being is at least a king! The experts inside the Ancestral Dragon Ship are no match for him!"
Upon hearing this, Suirenshi became serious and stared intently at Cao Ya.
After a long pause, Suirenshi slowly nodded.
He also did not confirm the source of Cao Ya's information.
Perhaps it was a glimpse of the future seen during the breakthrough, or perhaps it was for some other reason—who knows?
However, Suirenshi felt that Cao Ya was trustworthy and that his reminder should be taken seriously.
"An ancient, powerful being?" Suirenshi pondered. "Who could that be?"
Before the Primordial Era, it was the most prosperous era in all the heavens and myriad realms. Emperors appeared in the world, kings vied for supremacy, and even ancestral gods were insignificant.
However, with the upheaval of the ancient times, emperors went into hiding, many kings died, and as for ancestral gods, countless beings perished.
Therefore, in some places, it is quite possible that there are one or two kings who have died but have not yet fallen.
In that primordial heavenly realm, there has always been a legend of immortal warriors who, after billions of years, are resurrected and return.
Moreover, there are examples!
"Once I meet with the Martial Ancestor, I will discuss this matter with him and resolve the hidden dangers," Suirenshi said solemnly.
The beings on the Ancestral Dragon Ship are the seeds of the Nine Provinces, upon whom great hopes are placed. If they are wiped out...
Suirenshi would never allow this to happen!
After all, that ship was built from the remains of the deceased Ancestral Dragon of the Nine Provinces!
That is the strongest being in the dragon race! Generally speaking, there can only be one ancestral dragon in a generation!
Of course, there are occasional exceptions, but those are not necessarily good things for the dragon race.
Because the dragon race was cursed by a powerful enemy of Kyushu!
Just like that heaven-defying family, although the power of their curse might not be that abnormal.
“Cao Ya, I originally intended to take two divine artifacts into the deepest part of the Death World, but now I realize that taking them wouldn't significantly improve my abilities, so I might as well give them to you. As the War Ancestor, you are well-suited to use them.” Suirenshi suddenly said, extending his bone claws, tearing open the solid void of the Death Realm, and pulling out two divine weapons.
Sizzle~~
A brilliant golden light pierced the dark sky.
Waaah~~
The other object, however, emitted a dark light, roaring through the heavens and earth, shaking the wilderness.
"Awoo~~ I'm finally out!" the weapon roared from the dark light.
"Wonderful world of death, I've returned!" The divine weapon, radiating brilliant golden light, laughed heartily.
However, upon sensing an indifferent gaze, both divine weapons seemed to freeze, and their laughter and roars abruptly ceased.
"Suirenshi?! What are you still doing here?"
Suirenshi said calmly:
“You were once the weapons of the Twelve Zodiac War Ancestors, and were ancestral divine weapons. Now you have fallen in rank and become semi-ancestral treasures, but you are also improving. A few days ago, you were blessed with the Eternal Light. In tens of thousands of years, you may be able to return to the rank of ancestral divine weapons.”
The two divine weapons perked up at the mention of this matter, as if they were grinning from ear to ear.
"From now on, you should follow Cao Ya. He is the War Ancestor, so it's not an insult to you. It will also help you on your path to regaining the Ancestral Divine Weapon," said Suirenshi. With a gentle tap, the two divine artifacts fell into Cao Ya's hands.
Looking at the golden halberd and the jet-black iron seal, Cao Ya's expression was quite strange.
