Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhexian couldn't help but feel curious and quickly asked, "May I ask where you come from, senior?"
A moment later, the voice came again: "The place I am in is another world, completely different from the world of cultivators in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. In our land, cultivators are all called cultivators."
Upon hearing these words, Yuan Zhexian trembled violently, his face filled with astonishment, and he exclaimed in disbelief, "A cultivator?"
Seeing Yuan Zhexian's surprised expression, the voice suddenly became somewhat urgent, and he hurriedly explained, "What? Could it be that you actually know about cultivators?"
At this moment, Yuan Zhexian outwardly pretended to be deep in thought, but inwardly his heart was already churning with turmoil.
He thought to himself, "I never expected to encounter a cultivator from my previous life's world here."
"Could all of this be a preordained arrangement by God? Or is it simply an unbelievable coincidence?"
"However, under no circumstances should he discover that my true identity is that of a time traveler."
After figuring out these points, Yuan Zhexian raised his head and calmly responded to the voice, "Yes, I once came across some records and descriptions about cultivators in the ancient books treasured by my family."
Upon hearing this, the voice immediately pressed, "Your family? Little one, tell me quickly, which clan do you belong to?"
Yuan Zhexian straightened his body, raised his head and chest, and replied neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Replying to senior, I am Yuan Zhexian, the current divine son of the Yuan clan."
As soon as the words were spoken, the voice began to mutter to itself: "The Yuan Clan... the Yuan Clan... so they are descendants of that family!"
After a brief pause, it seemed to remember something important and continued, "Indeed, looking across the vast and boundless Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, if there is any family that might understand the concept of cultivators, then it must be the powerful and mysterious Yuan Clan."
"Perhaps only they possess some method or means that can help me achieve my ultimate wish and allow my obsession to return to my hometown."
After a moment's thought, he turned his gaze to Yuan Zhexian and said slowly, "Young man, my name is Sheng Hong, and I am a cultivator who has entered the Mahayana realm in the cultivation world."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhexian murmured softly, "The Great Ascension Realm?" He was clearly puzzled by this unfamiliar yet familiar term.
Seeing the puzzled look on Yuan Zhexian's face, Sheng Hong immediately explained, "You should know that the realm divisions in our cultivation world correspond to your so-called Nine Heavens and Ten Earths."
"Specifically, they are divided into the following stages in order: Acquired (Body Tempering), Innate (Blood Transformation), Qi Refining (Cave Heaven), Foundation Building (Supernatural Powers), Core Formation (Dao Body), Golden Core (Reincarnation), Nascent Soul (Sage), Divine Division (Sage King), Deity Transformation (Great Sage), Body Integration (Supreme Sage), Tribulation Crossing (Quasi-Emperor), Mahayana (Great Emperor), Loose Immortal (Supreme God), and Earth Immortal (Mythical Emperor)."
At this point, Sheng Hong tilted his head slightly, seemingly lost in memories, and continued to recount his past experiences: "Back then, I was just an ordinary person, wandering and adventuring between heaven and earth."
"One day, by sheer chance, I obtained a mysterious bead and a wondrous martial arts manual."
"Since then, my life has been completely changed."
"With the magical power of that cultivation technique, I overcame numerous obstacles and trials, and finally broke through many barriers to become one of the most powerful Mahayana cultivators in our world."
"However, that bead is the only thing that I can't figure out. No matter how hard I try to study it, I can't figure out its mystery, and I still don't know what it is."
"However, unexpectedly, one day, the originally quiet bead suddenly burst forth with a mysterious space as black as ink."
"That space was like a bottomless maw, swallowing me up with lightning speed."
"In an instant, the world spun around me, and before I could even react, everything went black and I lost consciousness."
When I slowly awoke again, I found myself in the midst of the nine heavens and ten earths.
"This place is completely different from the cultivation world I am familiar with; it is full of endless unknowns."
"And with my arrival, a huge uproar was also stirred up."
"It's because the cultivation method I practice originates from the cultivation world and is completely different from the methods of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths."
"This unique technique has attracted the covetous eyes of countless powerful individuals, especially those great emperors who are renowned throughout the land."
"They all covet me, plotting to seize my martial arts manual and claim it for themselves."
"In an instant, I became the target of everyone's criticism and was surrounded and hunted down."
"Even in the face of such a perilous situation, I still relied on my own great strength to kill many invading emperors in the fierce battle, and the blood stained the earth red."
"However, the number of these Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Emperors was simply too vast, seemingly endless, and they kept pouring towards me."
"And so, for the next million years, I had to carefully avoid the relentless emperors while desperately searching for a way back to my world."
"Unfortunately, no matter how hard I tried to find it, I was unable to achieve my goal. Time passed mercilessly, and my life gradually came to an end."
"With no other choice, I had to exhaust the last bit of magic power I had left in my body, and with all my might, I condensed this magnificent tomb, leaving behind a faint wisp of divine consciousness."
"To test those who come after me, I have specially set up three levels of space: the first level corresponds to knowledge and wisdom; the second level corresponds to courage; and the third level is the ultimate test of strength. Only those who pass through these levels are qualified to receive the legacy I left behind."
"I seek someone who can help me return to my homeland, to eliminate my obsession, so that I may be reincarnated."
These words, like the resounding toll of a great bell, echoed in this mysterious and vast space. The voice seemed to have traversed countless years, filled with deep longing and anticipation.
“Young man, since you are the divine son of the Yuan clan, your talent must be one of the rarest and most exceptional in this world.”
"If you agree to this, I hope that one day, when you have enough strength or discover my world, you will take this faint wisp of my divine will with you and return."
"In this way, I can be reincarnated in the endless cycle of reincarnation, which can be considered a favor to me."
As the words faded, the surrounding air seemed to grow heavy.
