Chapter 176 - Cultivate The Stars Part One

After Ah Chun tossed out her threat towards the younger immortal. She turned around and headed off further into the array. Ah Chun felt that this array was a lot larger than it appeared. And if such a strong cultivation suppression array was placed then there was sure to be good fortune hidden someplace within this array! Ah Chun was actually getting somewhat excited! She was able to snatch up the Star Lily and now she might find something else that is good! To top it off no one in this entire mystic realm could take it from her because in this array she was the Queen! 

Ah Chun continued forward, she was surrounded by nothing but a desert wasteland. If it was not for the fact that she still had her Qi Universe cultivation she was sure she would dry up and be nothing but bones by now. It seemed to have been hours since she had entered this area and she still found nothing.  The cracked dried earth under her feet kicked up dust with each step. What seemed like four days had passed by when finally Ah Chun's eyes lit up. There was a tall black monolith off in the distance. There was no telling exactly how far away it was but she was sure that it was there. 

More days passed and Ah Chun was finally standing in front of a tall black monolith that was one hundred times taller than her and seemed to be a thirty kilometers wide. Ah Chun made a deep impression on the ground to mark her starting position as she slowly started walking around the monolith. She did not dare touch it yet until she checked the entire monolith out. She walked and walked scanning as much the monolith as she could with how far she was able to see. She could only see about halfway up the monolith clearly. She was really hating the fact that she could not fly right now. But this did not discourage her.  

Hours later Ah Chun arrived at the end of the first side of the black monolith. That was when something caught her eye. Carved into the monolith was a few lines of text. That text read: ' Those that reach here are not welcome by the heavens… Those that cultivate the stars are meant to stand above the heavens themselves… These cultivators stand against the heavens… But they still must comply with heavens will to surpass the heavens...' Ah Chun stared at the lines of text. For some reason, these words resonated within her. 

"Those that reach here are not welcome by the heavens… Those that cultivate the stars are meant to stand above the heavens themselves… These cultivators stand against the heavens… But they still must comply with heavens will to surpass the heavens... " Ah Chun thought for a few moments pondering over the words. 

After a few minutes of going over the words in her head, it was like lightning had struck her! "Those that reach here are not welcome by the heavens! Of course! I understand now! This is actually talking about cultivators that have more than one cultivation path! The reason I was able to make it to this monolith was that I still have my Qi Universe cultivation base! This place is actually not an array! This monolith is actually causing the  dead zone to weed out the normal cultivators!" 

Ah Chun started breathing heavy as she read the next line again. "Those that cultivate the stars are meant to stand above the heavens themselves… So basically the Qi Space and Qi universe is what they mean by cultivating the stars! And since this is a cultivation path that goes against the heavens, that means the cultivator who is cultivating such a method is going against the heavens which is why I always have a heavenly tribulation when I break through a level!"

Ah Chun read the last line and finally pieced it all together. "But they still must comply with heavens will to surpass the heavens… This explains why I was not able to break through to a new realm unless I was at the peak of Qi Space! Until one reaches the end of heaven's path the two cultivation lines must coincide with each other! If this is true, once I reach the peak of the heaven's path of cultivation doesn't that mean there are realms that surpass it when one cultivates the stars!?" 

Although this was all her speculations she could not help but breathe heavily. If everything that was said is true then her cultivation path was far from over! She had just basically begun and was still an infant in the sea cultivation! Those who surpass the heavens could basically destroy the heavens with a turn of their palm! Ah Chun sat down in a lotus position and rotated her qi. She needed to calm herself down. All this was a lot to take in.  

Ah Chun now wondered the day that she made her vow if it was the heavens or if it was a power much greater than the heavens that took her vow. When she tries to break through, the heavens try to get rid of her but the pink lotus in her soul sea always protects her from heavens destruction. Ah Chun was wondering if this was all tied together or not. But this reasoning would make more sense than the thought of the heavens being in disagreement with itself. Ah Chun was at a loss about all of this but she right now needed to know what cultivate the stars means...
