Chapter 3322: Divine Punishment
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
At the mention of that, a cold glint flashed through Die Yue’s eyes. “It’s due to the deliberate suppression by the Divine Punishment Sanctuary. Humans are not the only ones, it’s the same for the Flora race as well. The moment someone becomes a Saint, they will attract Divine Punishment.”
Indeed!
Previously, Su Zimo had thought that the so-called Divine Punishment mentioned by Uncle Feng might be related to the Divine Punishment Sanctuary.
Su Zimo said, “A Dao Supremacy of the Ancestral Fire Sanctuary once told me that Saints who kill living beings below the Saint realm will be tainted by karma and attract Divine Punishment. From the looks of it, it’s not that simple.”
If the Divine Punishment was not from the Heaven and Earth laws but from someone or a faction, there would be too many variables!
The existence of the Divine Punishment would no longer be fair.
It could be controlled to kill others for the sake of one’s personal and selfish motives!
Die Yue said, “This rule was set by the Divine Punishment Sanctuary after the turmoil more than six billion years ago.”
“Although this rule seems fair and is to protect weak living beings from being killed casually by the Saints, in reality, it’s a method used by the Divine Punishment Sanctuary to intimidate the living beings of the ten thousand races.”
“If any living being who becomes a Saint disobeys the Divine Punishment Sanctuary, the Sanctuary will use this rule as an excuse to send down Divine Punishment and kill the Saint!”
“However, how can anyone who becomes a Saint not be tainted by karma to begin with?”
“Over the years, some of the humans who became Saints were killed by the Divine Punishment Sanctuary using this excuse. Over time, no one from the human race dared to break through to the Saint realm anymore.”
“As the Great Dao Saint Positions were occupied by Saints of the other races, the chances of humans becoming Saints decreased.”
“Great Dao Saint Positions?”
Su Zimo was puzzled.
Die Yue explained, “Once one enters the Saint realm, the Saint is the Dao. Once a Great Dao is occupied by someone, no one else can become a Saint of that Great Dao.”
Su Zimo was enlightened.
When one synthesized with the Dao to become a Saint, they became the Dao and were inseparable.
For example, if he were to become Saint Chaos, it would be impossible for others to synthesize with the Chaos Great Dao.
That was because he would be the Chaos Great Dao. How could someone fuse with him?
There was a limit to the number of Great Daos eventually.
The more Saints there were, the less Daos available for others to become Saints.
Therefore, after ascending to the major chiliocosm, the Dao condensation segment was extremely important.
If one wanted to condense a Dao Imprint to become a Saint, there must be no other Saints.
Otherwise, as long as the Saint of that Great Dao doesn’t die, all living beings who cultivated that Great Dao would never have any hope of becoming Saints!
Die Yue said, “However, the situation in the major chiliocosm has changed over the years.”
“When the five Sanctuaries fought against the Four Paths in the 33 Heavens, there were some Saints who died, leading to some open Great Dao Saint Positions. The Supremacies of the ten thousand races who have a chance of advancing to the Saint realm were all tempted, including some humans as well.”
“Are they not afraid of attracting the Divine Punishment?”
Su Zimo asked.
Die Yue said, “The five Sanctuaries and the Four Paths are like fire and water and can fight again at any moment. The human race has always been neutral. The Divine Punishment Sanctuary might not choose this timing to deal with the human race. This might also be an opportunity for the human race.”
Su Zimo pondered for a moment and asked, “The other four Sanctuaries did not object to the establishment of such rules by the Divine Punishment Sanctuary?”
Die Yue smiled. “These rules are meant to intimidate the living beings of the ten thousand races outside the Sanctuaries to begin with. All the rules set by the five Sanctuaries are to deal with ordinary people. People from Sanctuaries have no restrictions at all.”
“What happened more than six billion years ago?”
Su Zimo asked again.
“I don’t know either.”
Die Yue shook her head. “Perhaps only the Mountain Chief knows about what happened back then.”
After Su Zimo arrived at Mount Xuan Pin, he heard a child mention the Mountain Chief and asked, “What’s the cultivation of this Mountain Chief?”
“Paramount Supremacy.”
Pausing for a moment, Die Yue continued, “I heard from some old people of Mount Xuan Pin that the Mountain Chief might have been a Saint more than six billion years ago.”
“His cultivation realm fell?”
Su Zimo was surprised.
If the Mountain Chief was once a Saint, his cultivation realm should have fallen because he was severely injured.
From another perspective, the fact that the Mountain Chief could survive and only suffer a drop in cultivation realm was already proof of how extraordinary he was.
Su Zimo’s heart skipped a beat as he asked, “What’s the relationship between the Mountain Chief and the Life Sanctuary?”
“I’m not sure.”
Die Yue shook her head. “No one here knows the background of the Mountain Chief. However, the five Sanctuaries seem to be quite polite to him.”
“Back then, something happened. A human Paramount Supremacy of the 36 Grotto-heavens fought with a Paramount Supremacy of the Saint race and was severely injured. He fled here and the Mountain Chief stepped in to resolve the matter.”
“The two parties did not fight. The Saint race being left and did not pursue the matter later on.”
“Mount Xuan Pin is not among the 36 Grotto-heavens or 72 Blessed Grounds. However, most of the experts of the human race have been imparted the Dao by the Mountain Chief and are extremely respectful to him.”
Su Zimo nodded thoughtfully.
Right then, Die Yue smiled. “Your cultivation is a little slow. You’re left behind by me once more.”
“Huh?”
Su Zimo was stunned.
He was overjoyed to be reunited with Die Yue after a long time and felt that he had endless things to say. He did not even think of checking her cultivation realm.
When he heard Die Yue mention that, he scanned her spirit consciousness with his spirit consciousness and could not help but be shocked.
A perfected Dao Hegemony realm Paramount Supremacy expert!
His journey after his ascension to the major chiliocosm was rather smooth. He obtained the Merits Gold Lotus and the lineage memories of three lotus seeds before cultivating to the perfected Dao Comprehension realm.
Su Zimo smiled bitterly. “Back when I saw you die, I even said that I would protect you after you were reborn in your next life. To think that…”
“Seems like I’ll still be the one protecting you from now on.”
Die Yue pinched Su Zimo’s palm gently.
The two of them exchanged glances and smiled.
On second thought, Su Zimo understood the reason.
His cultivation was a step slower than Die Yue’s because he had stayed in the medium chiliocosm for 60,000 years to suppress the Netherworld.
However, more importantly, it was because of Die Yue’s talent.
80,000 years was enough for Die Yue to cultivate to this point!
Actually, along his path of cultivation, he had encountered many paragons and medium chiliocosms. Be it the resplendent Great Emperors of the medium chiliocosm who established various eras or the Blood Fiend and Monk Daming of Tianhuang Mainland…
If they were born in the major chiliocosm, they would probably be able to cultivate to this extent as well after 80,000 years.
The only reason why their attainments were not so high was because they were born in different worlds and circumstances.
“Did you take the Mountain Chief as your master?”
Su Zimo asked.
“No.”
Die Yue said, “The Mountain Chief is very odd. Many people would come looking for him to seek knowledge and he would always impart the Dao to them without holding back. However, he was never willing to be anyone’s master.”
“Although he’s only a Paramount Supremacy, his understanding of the Dharmic Dao far surpasses his peers.”
“The Mountain Chief should be taking his afternoon nap now. I’ll bring you to see him later. If you can get a few pointers from him, it might be of great help to you.”
“There’s no hurry, we’ll talk about that later.”
Su Zimo smiled.
He had just reunited with Die Yue. At that moment, he only wanted to stay with her and was in no mood to meet a strange old man.
