Chapter 903 A New Path of Cultivation

Chapter 903 A New Path of Cultivation
"Failed!"

The sect leader was stunned. The position of a mere True God was something he could easily attain.

During this period, thanks to the supreme artifact "Gate of Myriad Realms", he had long since met the requirements for advancement, but in the end he failed.

It is indeed beyond imagination that a supreme god would fail at the true god stage after undergoing a complete transformation.

"The reasons for the failure..." The Lord of the Gate continued to deduce through the Gate of Myriad Realms.

As the supreme god, he has reached the end of the professional system and has a fundamental understanding of the entire professional path.

However, due to the cognitive limitations of practitioners, they have been unable to find another path.

The Lord of the Gate was certain that the ritual was flawless and performed perfectly, and that all other aspects absolutely met the requirements for advancing to the level of a "Space" True God.

However, the most crucial point is that the ritual he performed did not receive any feedback from the source of the rules, thus failing to elevate him to the position of the true god of space.

"Is it because the aftershocks of the previous battle between the Sky Tower and the Origin Will haven't subsided, or is a new ritual needed... or perhaps..."

The sect leader thought of another possibility that he found hard to accept: that the path of professionalism had been severed by Motian.

Although it sounds unbelievable, it is not impossible due to the nature of the professional system. After all, the level at which one can directly confront the original will is also beyond their imagination.

However, even the slightest possibility would be an unimaginable blow to the Lord of the Gate, a former supreme god.

Even the Lord of the Gate himself didn't know how he accepted these possibilities; perhaps his will was stronger than imagined.

"Life...how are things on your end..."

Once he came to his senses, the Lord of the Gate hurriedly contacted the other supreme gods. When the saint descended, the five of them had secretly left behind a way to communicate.

Although the five supreme gods do not trust each other, they still have to stick together for warmth in the face of such special circumstances.

"I have failed too!" The supreme god of life also delivered bad news.

Clearly, the Lord of the Gate wasn't the only saint who wanted to get a bargain, and he failed in the very first step.

"Life failed too. It seems there really is something wrong with the world." The Lord of the Gate looked through the void towards the realm of gods.

So far, not a single star in the divine realm has been lit up, not even the Dream God and Flower Goddess whom he was watching. Neither of them received any special treatment.

“Severing our professional path, Skybreaker, that shouldn’t be your goal, right? Have you failed as well?” the Gate Master murmured.

The thought that he might not even be able to take office as a true god inevitably filled the Lord of the Gate with confusion and panic, unsure of what his future held.

As for Motian, even if he fails as an extraterrestrial demon, his life should not be in danger.

"and many more!"

At this moment, the sect leader suddenly remembered the five celestial pillars that had suppressed them in the past, or more precisely, the secret patterns branded on the celestial pillars.

Although it was unclear whether Motian did it intentionally or if that power had to be used in this way, the sect leader could clearly recognize that those secret patterns concealed power from another cultivation system.

Motian's ability to resist the primal will indicates that he is definitely not following a professional path.

The entirely new cultivation system, possessing power comparable to, or even surpassing, the world, suddenly made the sect leader realize that he had found a direction to move forward.

"Skyscraper!"

The sect leader murmured that if he could obtain the inheritance of Motian, he might be able to embark on another path that would benefit the professional system, a path with a broader prospect.

If it can be compared to the world, then surviving the Great Destruction of the world should not be difficult, right? At the very least, constantly traveling between different worlds like this is, in a way, equivalent to surviving the destruction of the world, isn't it?
The sect leader thought of the secret runes on the "Heavenly Pillar" and immediately began to deduce them in his mind, while the supreme artifact behind him was also emitting light.

"It's really too profound!"

After a long while, the Lord of the Gate opened his eyes, his eyes revealing an unconcealable weariness.

Although the idea was good, a completely new system is not so easy to understand. Even with some references, it is still difficult to get rid of the previous fixed mindset.

"Among those secret patterns, I can only barely remember some of the Dao related to space."

"I'm afraid I can't make this path completely work by myself."

The sect leader was somewhat troubled. It was indeed very difficult for one person to open up a completely new path of cultivation. After all, this path had to be at least comparable to that of a supreme god, otherwise it would not be of much significance.

If he were to truly comprehend it on his own, he might only be able to grasp the path to becoming a true god after the world is destroyed.

"We can't just sit here and wait!"

The Lord of the Gate stood up, and the supreme artifact behind him immediately lit up with a light. He then disappeared into the spatial interlayer.

Mengxi, who was dealing with matters of the Dream Kingdom, received a message that Wen Zhizhu had come to visit, and hurriedly went in to greet him.

"Supreme God!"

Upon seeing the master of the gate, Mengxi was startled, not expecting him to be there in his true form, and a sense of fear rose within her.

As the supreme god who is essentially at the pinnacle of the world, he has always been the supreme being in the hearts of true gods.

In the past, Mengxi didn't even have the qualifications to meet the Supreme God, which shows how big the gap was between their statuses.

At this moment, the Supreme God actually came to visit in person, which made Mengxi a little flustered.

Although everyone knew that their cultivation levels had been reduced, just as the residual power of the Sky Tower still lingered, so too did the residual power of the Supreme God.

Even true gods can unleash power surpassing that of demigods. Even if supreme gods fall from their realm, they can probably still rival true gods with their foundation and methods.

Of course, Mengxi also understood that the other party's visit was probably not to find her, but for another being.

"The God of Dreams!"

The sect leader organized his thoughts for a moment, then realized he wasn't familiar with the Dream God either. He immediately dropped the pretense and got straight to the point.

"Dream God, do you have any news about Sky Tower?"

If Motian were still alive, the sect leader could personally seek his advice, even at a cost.

"Sure enough!"

Mengxi shook her head and said with a wry smile, "Your Excellency, even now, I still don't know what Lord Motian's true identity is, let alone his current situation."

Mengxi had always been speculating about Motian's identity, and had never received confirmation from him.

Although his relationship with Motian was closer than that of others, the depth of their relationship was just so-so; it wasn't anything particularly special.

Thinking of this, Mengxi couldn't help but feel a little resentful. Her own memories had been completely stripped away, and the other party hadn't even revealed their identity.

"I understand!"

The sect leader was not surprised by this result; he had only asked about it as a possibility.

"Dream Goddess, did Motian leave behind any legacy? I can trade with you using a divine artifact." The Sect Master turned and asked about the legacy. The Dream Goddess's ability to rival a main god at the True God realm was clearly not due to her own high talent, but rather because she had received Motian's cultivation.

"inherited!"

Mengxi suddenly realized that this was probably the true purpose of the sect leader: to learn about Lord Motian's legacy.

Mengxi had long anticipated this. Since Lord Motian possessed such incredible power, any connection he had with him, no matter how small, would obviously be taken very seriously.

As the first true god under Lord Motian, Mengxi naturally received attention.

However, Mengxi did not expect that this day would come so soon.

To be honest, Mengxi was quite flustered.

Unlike those demigods, the gods whose realms were reduced by Lord Motian would probably have wanted to earn some interest from her first thing if they weren't afraid.

To knock someone down from their cultivation level—what a heinous and insane method!

It was truly because Lord Motian had taken the initiative to suppress all the gods in an instant, planting the idea that they were completely invincible in the hearts of the gods.

Otherwise, Mengxi wouldn't have been building up her power here; she would have fled with the Flower Goddess.

Don't be fooled by the sect leader's friendly demeanor; it's because he's come to terms with reality and knows that no amount of anger can change anything, so he might as well find something more practical to do.

But in truth, he also harbored deep resentment towards Motian. After all, the Lord of the Gate was once a supreme god, but now he had been reduced to a demigod, and it was even foreseeable that his path to becoming a true god would be blocked.

What kind of grudge is this? The enmity of being blocked from the path is already irreconcilable, but to add the humiliation of having one's cultivation level reduced is to reach a point where things have reached their extreme and then reversed.

Mengxi felt bitter inside, and a helpless expression appeared on her face: "Your Excellency, I was just an ordinary True God before. You did not teach me anything profound, Lord Motian."

After all, he was just a true god, so even if he passed on some profound knowledge, it wouldn't mean much.

This inheritance is probably of limited use to a supreme god like the Lord of the Gate.

"It seems you really don't know anything." The sect leader looked at Mengxi's expression and couldn't help but shake his head, without any intention of taking his anger out on her.

Since the situation at Motian has not yet been confirmed, the sect leader naturally cannot take action and must remain patient.

Upon hearing the words of the sect leader, Mengxi felt a sense of foreboding. As a being at the pinnacle of the world, his knowledge far surpassed hers.

"It's alright. Are there any restrictions on the inheritance bestowed upon you by Motian? Can it be traded?"

The sect leader had a premonition about this transaction and was prepared for it.

Mengxi pondered for a moment. To be fair, Lord Motian hadn't imposed any restrictions on the inheritance, perhaps because he looked down on these things.

When the Dream Realm was handed over to her, Lord Sky also gave her a lot of inheritance, which served as the foundation of a faction.

Aside from the Dream Realm, Lady Sky doesn't care about anything else; she handles all of that, including the inheritances.

Although these inheritances were quite powerful, Mengxi didn't feel anything special about them.

"Perhaps the sect leader just wants to do some research," Mengxi thought to herself.

"The inheritance bestowed by Lord Motian did not impose any restrictions," Mengxi said.

Mengxi decided to grant the inheritance first, and then send the sect leader away. The presence of a supreme god personally was quite intimidating.

"That's good!"

The sect leader finally received some good news, which made his trip worthwhile.

Mengxi then handed over some of the inherited secret techniques to the sect leader.

Mengxi agreed to the deal not only because of the intimidation posed by the sect leader.

This is also because some of the secret techniques have been passed down long ago, and some of them can even be accessed by those at the legendary level.

If the Lord of the Gate really wanted to, he could have targeted these people; the Dream Kingdom simply couldn't stop him at this moment.

Just like when the Lord of the Gate appeared here, Mengxi only found out after receiving a notification from her subordinates.

"Dream God, perhaps we'll have another chance to trade in the future." The sect leader tossed down a few divine artifacts and then left in a hurry.

"Supreme God, did you sense something?" Mengxi looked at the divine artifact in her hand, but avoided showing any joy.

"These traditions have been modified, haven't they?"

The sect leader studied the inheritance given to him by the Dream God. Although the level was not high, it was just right in a certain way, good enough for him to comprehend easily.

“Although these traditions have been fully adapted to the professional system, they still retain traces of other systems.” The sect leader was very excited, feeling that he had finally found some direction.

Meanwhile, while the Lord of the Gate was in seclusion, the professionals on the main continent finally noticed something amiss.

"Holy Light, have you successfully advanced?"

"No, it failed!"

"To date, no demigod has advanced to true god, and no true god has returned, not even the supreme gods..."

Amidst the discussions among numerous demigods, a terrifying fact emerged: the path of profession, the road after becoming a demigod, seemed to have been severed.

The fundamental rules have changed and will no longer react to these people.

If there were only one case, one might be able to console oneself, but neither the gods of the past nor the new demigods have had a single successful case.

Faced with this phenomenon, professionals have to admit that they seem to have been abandoned by heaven and earth.

While ordinary professionals can still cultivate, they have found that the difficulty of cultivation is increasing, and the number of new professionals, especially newly promoted demigods, is also decreasing exponentially.

The reason why new professionals can still be born is naturally because the divine status of the gods has not been completely shattered, the divine kingdom has not collapsed, and the way of professions is still connected with heaven and earth.

But clearly this connection is completely insufficient to support the birth of a true god.

The news that career paths were shortened could not be concealed and quickly spread throughout the continent, plunging many professionals into despair.

Having no future from the beginning and having the future cut off are two completely different concepts.

Of course, this is the sentiment of saints and demigods who aspire to become true gods. Ordinary professionals, apart from lamenting that cultivation has become more difficult, have no other reaction.

At this crucial stage, the sect leader suddenly sent out some good news.

"I have found a new path of cultivation!"
