I Come to Teach You Cultivation

Chapter 596 - 39: 3,000 Retainers, Preaching Innate Dao

Just as Li Boyang said, the Purple Cloud Palace in Outer Heaven does not have a normal concept of time sequence.

As long as the Pathfinders who were invited are prepared.

They can head to the moment when Li Boyang opened up Outer Heaven at any time.

Therefore, although Zhen Wu chased that Pathfinder through several space-times before coming to this Purple Cloud Palace, he still did not miss the entire lecture by Li Boyang.

Due to the relation between cause and effect, when Zhen Wu appeared in the Purple Cloud Palace, even more Pathfinders arrived one after another as summoned.

Similarly, many Pathfinders who have finished listening to the lecture chose to leave.

This situation, which is impossible in normal time sequences, is a normal occurrence in this Outer Heaven.

Because of the chaos of time sequence and dimension, it’s impossible to judge things here by normal circumstances.

Zhen Wu even noticed that some Pathfinders who should have perished completely also appeared in this Purple Cloud Palace.

These Pathfinders should have disappeared in the long River of Time, their very existence erased like a BUG.

Only a few relatively fortunate or special beings would be replaced by other more powerful Pathfinders.

To put it bluntly, these residual images in the Purple Cloud Palace are probably the last impression they left on this world.

[Is this considered a form of ’immortality’?]

Looking at those residual images reluctant to leave the Purple Cloud Palace, such a thought unconsciously flashed through Zhen Wu’s mind.

Fortunately, Zhen Wu soon lost interest in pondering, instead immersing his mind fully in Li Boyang’s lecture.

Li Boyang’s lecture is precisely about the Great Path that can truly transcend time.

"Since ancient times, Divine Spirits have been entities that transcend all living things."

"But the concept and definition of Divine Spirits are not eternally unchanging, rather a term that dynamically changes."

"In the era when Heaven and Earth were newly born, only the strong could survive, so beings at that time generally pursued bodily strength and extreme power."

"Thus the earliest Gods were born, known in our understanding as ’Ancient Gods’."

"No one can say clearly how many eras the existence of Ancient Gods spans."

"However, as Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi gradually ordered, this world was invigorated, the first batch of beings was bred."

"They were not Divine Spirits formed from Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, but beings bred from the Union of Yin and Yang, the coexistence of present and Underworld."

"These beings, though not as powerful as Ancient Gods, possess limitless potential and astonishing adaptability."

"Thus, the second batch of Divine Spirits was born from these beings."

"This second batch of Divine Spirits possesses both strength and wisdom, leaders like Xi He even harnessed the sun with their wisdom."

"That was the first time Divine Spirits conquered the Great Path of Heaven and Earth, elevating themselves above a natural phenomenon."

"Before that, even the strongest Celestial God could only transform into a Celestial Disaster."

"But after that, Celestial Gods had room for progression, becoming what is known as ’Great Celestial God’!"

Li Boyang’s lecture was long and lingering, resonating through the whole of Outer Heaven.

Correspondingly, the sky, land, and sea of Outer Heaven were evolving this ancient history.

The Pathfinders not only listened to Li Boyang’s discourse but also witnessed various battles and details from this historical period.

This is much more detailed and clearer than the information obtained by Pathfinders probing the River of Time themselves.

Some gifted Pathfinders already began considering skipping certain nodes of the River of Time, attempting to personally join the battles before ancient times.

However, each time a Pathfinder tried to do so, they faced backlash from the River of Time.

This also caused many Great Celestial Gods, who originally did not exist during the period belonging to Ancient Gods, to be born one after the other.

Although, from the perspective of the entire River of Time, the past history was not rewritten.

Those Ancient Gods who once appeared in history have undergone countless iterations in strength, not much inferior to Pathfinders from the future.

Especially some Ancient Gods outstanding in wisdom.

After overcoming their initial ignorance and savagery, they’ve actively appeared in this Purple Cloud Palace, becoming part of the many Pathfinders.

Unfortunately, these Ancient Gods, although entering the ranks of Pathfinders, like Celestial Emperor Hao, are trapped within the River of History.

Their strength can surely progress.

But their opponents would also continue to grow accordingly, maintaining a strong historical inertia.

More importantly, due to the frequent appearances and interventions of Pathfinders.

Those Ancient Gods always lacking intelligence, ignorant like beasts, are gradually being replaced by Pathfinders from later periods.

These Pathfinders to ensure the normal flow of the River of Time, without affecting their own existence, would even deliberately maintain the original historical trajectory.

Once those Ancient Gods burgeoned with wisdom desire to change history.

Aside from the inertia of the River of Time itself, there would certainly be other Pathfinders acting secretly.

In other words, these Ancient Gods want to emerge from the River of History.

They must learn Emperor Hao’s approach, becoming a Pathfinder powerful enough to break historical inertia and withstand all fatal trials.

Only then can Ancient Gods truly stride towards the future, gaining rebirth.

"So, do Ancient Gods count as the weakest entities here?"

Softly murmured a gracefully posed, noble looking Goddess as she silently appeared in a Sun Palace.

As if responding to the Goddess’ words.

A Three-legged Golden Crow somehow landed on her shoulder, affectionately nuzzling her cheek.

"The future is indeed interesting..."

"Countless Ancient Gods regarded the pinnacle as Great Celestial God, yet it’s merely the threshold to arrive here."

"Becoming a Great Celestial God...no, rather becoming a Transformed Taoist, there is still a path to tread."

"That Tao Ancestor seems to term this process as ’Pathfinding’, right?"

"Refining Spirit and Returning to Void to achieve becoming a Transformed Taoist, then gaining qualification to affirm the Great Path."

"According to this, theoretically, I should be a Pathfinder?"

The Goddess attempted to grasp Tao Ancestor’s definition of cultivation realms, somewhat uncertainly laughed.

"No, although I possess the power to harness the sun, it’s merely harnessing the sun alone."

"Only by evolving one’s path from the sun does one qualify to be termed ’Pathfinder’."

"Once the path is achieved, I will endow the sun with new power, rather than the sun endowing me with power, this is truly fascinating!"

Gently stroking the Three-legged Golden Crow on her shoulder, the Goddess suddenly mischievously smiled and asked.

"Brother, what level are you currently at?"

"Are you preparing to affirm different paths in your era?"

"Or have you already headed to other space-times to evolve a new ’Path of the Sun’?"

Upon hearing the Goddess’ question, a trace of humanized shyness crossed the eyes of the Three-legged Golden Crow.

"Haha, looks like you, like me, are trapped in the River of History."

"Old fellows like us with predetermined fates, wanting to venture to other space-times and affirm paths is indeed quite difficult."

"You did well on this point, affirming different paths in your era, then breaking through the inertia of space-time with absolute power, finally being reborn in the future. This is indeed the way we should go."
