Chapter 452 – The Celestial Net Black Orb, a Legacy That Even Great Firmament Golden Immortals Covet!

An entire world!?

Upon hearing this, Su Xing’s heart skipped a beat.

He looked at the Celestial Demon General with a trace of confusion in his eyes.

The Celestial Demon General sighed, then pointed toward the teardrop not far away and said:

“Do you know… what this teardrop seals is the very passage through which the alien race invaded the Three Thousand Worlds!”

“If this seal is broken, even more terrifying aliens will invade the Three Thousand Worlds!”

“And this teardrop is the manifestation of the Celestial Demon Domain’s world will… It is also the Luotian Ancestor’s most powerful supernatural art — Spirit Domain!”

“Back then, the Luotian Ancestor walked the path of Spirit Domain to the absolute pinnacle of all ages… Even the Saints of the ancient era were likely far inferior to the Luotian Ancestor in the way of Spirit Domain!”

“The range of the Luotian Ancestor’s Spirit Domain was so vast it could envelop the entire Luotian Realm!”

“That was… an entire Greater World!”

After a pause, the Celestial Demon General continued:

“When the Luotian Sect was defeated and the Luotian Domain was shattered to pieces… the Luotian Ancestor keenly perceived that if the passage for the alien race into the Three Thousand Worlds wasn’t completely sealed—”

“Then within a million years, the human race would be thoroughly overrun by the alien invasion!”

“Therefore, the Luotian Ancestor sacrificed his own life, pushing the way of Spirit Domain to its absolute limit… With the aid of the Celestial Demon Domain’s Heavenly Dao, he finally sealed this passage, transforming it into a teardrop that would forever isolate the alien race…”

“From that point on, the aliens beyond the Three Thousand Worlds could no longer enter in succession… extending the human race’s destiny by tens of millions of years!”

“But unfortunately… the Celestial Demon Domain’s Heavenly Dao can’t hold on much longer… Once the seal of this teardrop is completely broken, it will be the end of the human race!”

Hearing this, Su Xing was shaken to his core.

The Luotian Ancestor’s attainment in the way of Spirit Domain was actually this terrifying?

He had sealed the passage of alien invasion?

Su Xing stared blankly at the teardrop in the distance, silent for a long time.

The reason beings above chief god level among the alien race couldn’t invade the Three Thousand Worlds… perhaps that was also related to this teardrop?

The Luotian Ancestor — a being of dazzling brilliance, the true Child of Destiny of his era.

Though the pride born of her talent and power ultimately prevented him from becoming the victor of that age.

Yet what she had done was far more admirable than those who had merely clung to life since that era!

Through that teardrop, Su Xing seemed to see a scene.

The Five Great Domains of the cultivation world faced annihilation, and the Luotian Domain had already been shattered to pieces.

In that moment of crisis, the Luotian Ancestor seemed to have glimpsed the future of the human race.

And so, she descended upon the Celestial Demon Domain with overwhelming force, linked himself to the Celestial Demon Domain’s Heavenly Dao, and used every last ounce of her power to seal that passage.

On that day… the Heavenly Dao wept!

And the human race, because of this, had its destiny extended by tens of millions of years…

The Celestial Demon General’s voice continued to reach his ears:

“When you traveled from the Heavenly Secrets Domain to this realm… did you happen to see that so-called Death Wasteland?”

After hearing the Celestial Demon General’s words, Su Xing already had a guess forming in his mind.

“That’s right. That Death Wasteland is actually a world fragment from the old Luotian Realm…”

“The Luotian Ancestor, with her overwhelmingly powerful might, sealed countless divine beings under Slaughter’s command and red-eyed aliens — all of them sealed within that Death Wasteland!”

“The number of aliens in the Death Wasteland is enough to destroy half a domain!”

“But because of the Luotian Ancestor’s formidable seal, this massive alien force… ultimately could only wander lost in the Endless Sea!”

As the Celestial Demon General’s words fell, Su Xing finally confirmed his thoughts.

The way of Spirit Domain, cultivated to its absolute limit… was actually this terrifying?

Sealing alien divine beings in the Death Wasteland, blocking the aliens from entering the Three Thousand Worlds…

What the Luotian Ancestor had done truly secured the destiny of the human race!

While Su Xing admired this in his heart, he also had some doubts.

“But what does this… have to do with the world the Luotian Ancestor left behind?”

The Celestial Demon General seemed to see through Su Xing’s confusion. He chuckled lightly, then produced a… palm-sized black orb.

This black orb was clearly incomplete, with less than half remaining, yet it emanated a terrifying aura.

“This is…”

Su Xing’s heart jolted, and a thought quickly arose.

“That’s right. This is a world fragment of the Luotian Realm…”

As the Celestial Demon General’s words fell, towering waves surged in Su Xing’s heart!

“In the Luotian Ancestor’s final moments, she borrowed the power of the Luotian Mirror to gather the shattered Luotian Realm, then sealed it with his Spirit Domain. In the end, it formed this supreme treasure representing half a Greater World!”

“Inside this black sphere… perhaps lies the legacy and resources of half the Luotian Realm… something that even Great Firmament Golden Immortals would covet beyond measure!”

“However, I don’t actually know what’s inside this world treasure.”

“Only after you inherit it will you be able to find out!”

Hearing this, Su Xing couldn’t help but swallow hard.

This was… half the Luotian Realm!

The Greater World that housed the most powerful sect tens of millions of years ago!

How vast its territory… how many treasures, resources, and Luo Tian legacies it contained — just how terrifying would that be?

If Su Xing could obtain this orb…

“Even if it’s only a partial world fragment of the Luotian Realm… it would probably be enough to provide me with the resources to advance to the Great Firmament, wouldn’t it?”

Thinking this, Su Xing’s heart pounded wildly.

Soon, the Celestial Demon General’s voice reached his ears.

“Back then, when the Luotian Ancestor fought seven alien chief gods alone, the entire Luotian Realm was shattered to pieces…”

“Some of the fragments became the Death Wasteland, sealed away in the Endless Sea…”

“Other fragments should now be located in the Azure Origin Domain and the Eastern Domain.”

“The final portion — less than half the world — was merged with the Luotian Ancestor’s own Spirit Domain and sealed within this orb…”

“As long as a descendant of Luotian bears the Luotian Mirror and receives its recognition, they can obtain this portion of the fragments… possessing half the Luotian Sect’s accumulated heritage!”

After hearing the Celestial Demon General’s words, Su Xing finally understood what kind of terrifying fortune the Luotian Ancestor of ages past had left behind for him!

Looking at the black orb in the Celestial Demon General’s hand, Su Xing’s eyes held a trace of longing.

The Celestial Demon General didn’t hoard this treasure either. He simply handed the black orb to Su Xing and said:

“In the tens of millions of years since Grandmaster Luo Ling’er passed away… I never expected a Luotian successor of sufficient qualification to actually appear…”

“Now, returning this to its rightful owner… handing this orb to you also fulfills the greatest wish of my life!”

“However, before Grandmaster Ling’er died, she once said that this orb requires sufficient mastery over the Luotian Mirror to fully activate… I wonder if you’re currently able to do so?”

Su Xing took the black orb, turning it over and over in his hands.

The Luotian Mirror within his body also emitted a strange resonance at the same time.

His heart stirred — he was eager to give it a try.

But there was no rush. The Celestial Demon General was still right beside him!

After fulfilling the Luotian Ancestor’s dying wish, the Celestial Demon General seemed to breathe a long sigh of relief, and his entire Essence, Qi, and Spirit improved considerably.

Seeing this, Su Xing had a sudden realization… Had his cultivation heart-knot been resolved?

“In that battle long ago, it wasn’t just the Luotian Domain that was destroyed… Over ninety percent of all living beings in the entire Celestial Demon Domain were slaughtered!”

“The cultivators in the Celestial Demon Domain today are either descendants of the survivors from that time, or cultivators who migrated from other domains… Influenced by the Celestial Demon Domain’s Heavenly Dao, they naturally harbor immense hatred toward the alien race!”

The Celestial Demon General said in a low voice, resolving yet another question in Su Xing’s mind.

“Now that you’ve inherited the Luotian legacy… you must cultivate diligently. If you can step into the Great Firmament realm, you might be able to recreate the glory of Grandmaster Ling’er’s era!”

Saying this, the Celestial Demon General’s gaze toward Su Xing softened somewhat.

“If you’re willing, you can stay here in the Celestial Demon Domain from now on…”

“As your grand-uncle in the sect, I will naturally do my utmost to protect you and ensure your safety!”

Hearing this, Su Xing was delighted and immediately nodded in agreement.

With a Great Firmament Golden Immortal’s protection, Su Xing’s safety in the Celestial Demon Domain would be greatly improved!

“Thank you, Grand-Uncle Celestial Demon!”

The Celestial Demon General waved his hand dismissively. “If you prefer, just keep calling me Boss!”

Su Xing nodded slightly, then recalled another purpose for his trip to the Celestial Demon Domain.

So he asked:

“Boss… I heard before that the Celestial Sun Grass exists in the Celestial Demon Domain… Do you happen to know anything about it?”

As he spoke, Su Xing produced a drawing of the Celestial Sun Grass — something he had prepared in advance.

The Celestial Demon General took the drawing and examined it carefully for a while before saying uncertainly:

“Several hundred thousand years ago… I think I saw this plant in the core region of the Celestial Demon Domain…”

“But that place is far too dangerous! It’s the current gathering ground of the alien army… Even I wouldn’t dare venture there lightly…”

Hearing this, Su Xing was inwardly delighted.

As long as the Celestial Sun Grass existed, everything else could be worked out!

After the Celestial Demon General answered Su Xing’s questions, the two returned to their previous base.

Arriving at a simple, crude hut within the base, Su Xing set up an isolation formation.

Then he eagerly prepared to test the black orb that the Luotian Ancestor had left for him!

With a thought, Su Xing entered the Luotian Realm…

…

Inside the Luotian Realm, everything was as peaceful as ever.

But the Luotian Sect members had undergone some changes.

Several Luotian Sect members, including Luo Qingniu and Shennong Youtian, eagerly sought out Su Xing:

“Sect Master… we, we seem to sense a trace of the old Sect Master’s aura… Is, is she still alive?”

Seeing the glimmer of hope in these Luotian Sect members’ eyes, Su Xing sighed and ultimately told them the truth.

“Don’t worry… Though Grandmaster Ling’er is no longer with us, I will lead you back to the pinnacle!”

Su Xing consoled them.

After bidding farewell to these Luotian Sect members, Su Xing eagerly headed to the grounds of the Luotian Assembly.

There, the Luotian Mirror’s true form resided!

Perhaps the Luotian Mirror’s Artifact Spirit would know how to activate the black orb!

…

A short while later.

Su Xing furrowed his brows slightly as he looked at the Artifact Spirit of the Luotian Mirror before him:

“So… you’re saying I need to advance to Supreme Unity before I can activate this black orb and obtain the Luo Tian legacy within?”

The Luotian Mirror’s Artifact Spirit confirmed:

“Yes, Master!”

“I can sense that within this black orb, there is a seal reinforced by the old master… It can only be undone with Supreme Unity realm cultivation!”

“Moreover, the black orb doesn’t just contain the old half of the Luotian Realm… To better maintain the seal, the orb also contains some of my fragments!”

“If the black orb could be fully activated… I might be able to recover most of my power from my prime!”

“However, the activation and fusion process is extremely long…”

“I believe the old master’s intention was… once you reach Supreme Unity Golden Immortal, you could attempt to merge this black orb into your own Spirit Domain…”

“If you can accomplish that, Master, the range of your Spirit Domain might reach the size of half the Luotian Realm!”

“Perhaps one day, you might even surpass the old master…”

“Also…”

Su Xing listened quietly to the Luotian Mirror’s Artifact Spirit, and after a moment, he had roughly figured out the black orb’s purpose.

Just as the Celestial Demon General had said, what the Luotian Ancestor left Su Xing was a world!

But it was… more than just a world!

The black orb’s true form was half of the shattered Luotian Realm.

Under the Luotian Ancestor’s terrifying Spirit Domain cultivation, he had long since merged his own Spirit Domain with the Luotian Realm as one.

Finally, through endless compression, it had condensed into this single black orb.

Therefore, this black orb was the convergence of three things: half the Luotian Realm’s treasures, the Luotian Mirror fragments, and the Luotian Ancestor’s Spirit Domain cultivation — all fused into one!

Su Xing needed to reach the Supreme Unity Golden Immortal realm before he could activate it and gradually absorb it, incorporating the black orb into his own Spirit Domain.

Once complete, Su Xing’s Spirit Domain range would reach a terrifying level!

Furthermore, the Luotian Realm’s treasures and the Luotian Sect’s legacy would all be reclaimed by Su Xing…

Even the Luotian Mirror could be further restored!

Thinking of this, Su Xing’s heart surged with excitement.

“As long as I reach Supreme Unity cultivation… if I can get my hands on this black orb in reality… the energy needed to advance to Great Firmament would be more than sufficient, wouldn’t it?”

Su Xing gritted his teeth and made some rough calculations.

“At my travel speed, going from the Star Realm to the Heavenly Secrets Domain would take at least ten years… Then traveling to the Celestial Demon Domain would probably take several decades!”

“The time wasted on travel… is still too long…”

Thinking this, Su Xing frowned slightly.

Several decades to advance to Great Firmament — that truly wasn’t slow at all.

But wasting decades on the journey, with too many variables, Su Xing wasn’t willing to take such risks lightly.

“But… I remember that besides the Endless Sea route, there seems to be another way!”

“The Nine Heavens Domain…”

Su Xing narrowed his eyes. He recalled that the White Emperor and Tang Yiyi had once mentioned—

The Nine Heavens Domain was the upper realm, connecting the Five Great Domains… If there was a suitable passage, Su Xing could first travel to the Nine Heavens Domain, then find a way from there to reach the Celestial Demon Domain!

Without having to pass through the Endless Sea, he could naturally save an enormous amount of time!

“Also, the advancement mechanism within the Celestial Demon Domain is really rather slow…”

“I need to ask the Celestial Demon General if there’s some way to meet him directly!”

…

Soon, ten years of immersive simulation ended, and Su Xing’s consciousness returned to reality!

“This immersive simulation really yielded quite a harvest!”

“Not only did I learn the secrets of the past… I also discovered the astonishing fortune the Luotian Ancestor left behind!”

“If I can obtain that black orb, it would be no exaggeration to say I’d skyrocket overnight…”

Su Xing rubbed his chin and continued:

“And in the Celestial Demon Domain, while it’s dangerous… with the Celestial Demon General there, I should be able to simulate for even longer, right?”

“It’s just a shame I can’t receive the Mirror of The Void enhancement anymore…”

Su Xing thought it over — gains and losses were only natural.

What he cared about now was how long he could simulate in the Celestial Demon Domain.

Could it possibly break his previous simulation record?

With this thought, Su Xing’s gaze turned to the simulation panel.

【In the 720th year, you entered the core region of the Celestial Demon Domain under the identity of Su Ye.】

【After making contact with the Celestial Demon General, you learned the secrets from tens of millions of years ago…】

【Over the following decades, you hunted aliens in the core region of the Celestial Demon Domain…】

【Time quickly reached the 750th year of the simulation…】
