Chapter 191: Heavenly Tribulation, The Day of Ascension

“...”

If it were an ordinary person, facing the obsession in their heart, they would certainly struggle to act decisively. However, Ye Xuan was not an ordinary person.

His obsession was not strong; he was a more rational individual. Therefore, as long as he changed his perspective, severing ties was very easy for him.

Even if the three women before him were beautiful and enchanting, his most beloved, he could cut them off without hesitation. He understood one thing very clearly: his love for them stemmed from his own script.

The personas he created in his script were fundamentally different from his true self. If he became immersed in this persona, he would no longer be himself, leading to his own destruction.

With this realization, he acted decisively and severed his love for the three women without any hesitation. In the next moment, he snapped back to reality from the sea of memories. Looking at his hands, he couldn’t help but smile.

He had returned—his true self had returned. This was his real self, not the deeply immersed character from before. This was how he should truly feel.

Although he had successfully severed the ties, his fondness for Yu Ling’er, Qingxue, and Hu Qianzao did not disappear when he thought of them.

This was the essence of severing ties: cutting off the influence of past events on his mindset, returning to his true self, and not being trapped by past experiences.

At this moment, Ye Xuan felt unprecedentedly free. Immediately, his body involuntarily began to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy rapidly.

The spiritual energy within a few hundred miles of Dao Palace Peak was drawn to him, forming a powerful tornado of spiritual energy connecting heaven and earth above the peak.

The whirlwind covered thousands of feet, enveloping the main hall of Daogong Peak.

“My God, what is this–!!!”

“What a powerful spiritual energy vortex–!!!”

Many Taihua disciples looked towards Daogong Peak in shock, staring in awe at the tornado connecting heaven and earth.

“I heard that some geniuses accumulate their cultivation experience in the Comic Cave Heaven, waiting to absorb spiritual energy as soon as they come out to quickly advance to a higher realm...”

“This powerful spiritual energy vortex, could it be someone breaking through their cultivation?”

“This is Taihua Sect, where spiritual energy can crystallize into ice... To absorb spiritual energy so madly here, could it be... no... impossible–!!!”

“Severing ties?!” Qingxue frowned. “You old fool, what did you teach him... What ties does he need to sever? Everything he has experienced is from this life–!!! He is a Primordial Spirit Body; he doesn’t need to sever ties.”

“What?!!” Gong Zhenren looked utterly surprised. “Qingxue, did you say he is a Primordial Spirit Body?”

As he spoke, his shocked gaze turned to Ye Xuan. Qin Zhenren was also incredibly shocked, staring intently at Ye Xuan. She hadn’t expected to witness the legendary Primordial Spirit Body.

In this world, humans, demons, dragons, and various other races were created by the god emperors of the heavens. The origins of these god emperors trace back to the chaotic period. At that time, the heavens and earth were not separated, only a piece of chaos, from which the Panyu God Emperor was born.

With his strength, he opened up the chaos, transforming it into the primordial world. The Panyu God Emperor fell in the process of creating the world.

The first batch of beings to appear in the primordial world were the innate spiritual bodies with the Panyu God Emperor’s bloodline. These innate spiritual bodies could use spiritual power from birth.

The strongest were born directly within the rules, controlling the primordial rules, while the weaker ones lived in groups. Over time, the powerful innate spiritual bodies considered themselves holy and accepted the worship of the weaker beings, including the innate human race.

Under the governance of these holy beings, the world was orderly for a short period. However, harmony among the holy beings did not last long due to a calamity.

The holy beings’ war shattered the world, and most innate beings of various races became extinct. The innate human race was no exception.

To make up for their mistakes, the Heaven Emperor created the current human race and rebuilt the world. The Flame Emperor created a new race of beasts and collected rare treasures to help rebuild the world.

The Yan Emperor entered the underworld, creating the netherworld and establishing the six paths of reincarnation with his power, calling himself the Yan God.

The Heaven God created the initial methods of cultivation for the later generations, allowing them to survive in the primordial world. He created the heavens and brought the holy beings into the heavens, strictly forbidding any holy being from interfering with the mortal world.

After the world was rebuilt, chaotic forces invaded, generating deadly evil energy. Innate beings, thousands of times stronger than the later generations, could not withstand the chaotic evil energy and gradually perished. The world was left with only the later generations.

Innate beings, appearing at the same time as the Yan God, were not subject to the six paths of reincarnation. Thus, upon their death, they vanished without a chance for rebirth.

However, some exceptions existed: some races had special abilities, allowing them to self-revive after death, and some individuals adapted to the chaotic evil energy and survived. But these races were scarcely heard of.

Those innate spiritual bodies that survived were called Primordial Spirit Bodies. Born alongside the legendary gods, if given a chance to grow, they could become as powerful as the holy beings.

This was why even an immortal like Gong Zhenren was so shocked upon hearing Ye Xuan was a Primordial Spirit Body. The status of a Primordial Spirit Body was extremely high, comparable to the Heaven Emperor who created the human race.

Surviving from ancient times to the present, a Primordial Spirit Body’s destiny was incredibly strong. Death had become a joke to them; even they might not know how to kill themselves.

Gong Zhenren, realizing Ye Xuan’s extraordinary identity, looked at him with newfound fervor. If Ye Xuan knew that his casually crafted script had solidified his identity as a Primordial Spirit Body, he would be at a loss for words.
