The fat rat spirit’s voluntary appearance surprised Yusuf Zuck and Demi Garrett, but they didn’t show it outwardly; they sat across from it, one sipping Immortal Tea delicately, the other downing it in one gulp.
The fat Maitreya, which is what the rat spirit called itself, was quite courteous, with a thread of Immortal Spirit Qi, resembling a refined, out-of-this-world master, smiling gently.
"Are the two of you from the Lower Realm?" the fat Maitreya asked casually.
"The Lower Realm?" Yusuf Zuck and Demi Garrett exchanged a glance, then Yusuf asked, "May I ask, fellow Daoist, which realm is this?"
"You two don’t know?" The fat Maitreya seed montarily surprised.
Yusuf Zuck and Demi Garrett simultaneously shook their heads. Isn’t this the Heaven’s Gate World? And what realm does Heaven’s Gate belong to?
"This is the Firmant," replied the fat Maitreya.
Firmant?
Yusuf was greatly shocked, while Demi Garrett just froze for a mont.
The reason for Yusuf’s shock was that he now possessed Sky Power.
"Firmant? What does that an?" Demi Garrett thought for a mont and then asked.
The fat Maitreya replied, "It’s the cultivation paradise of the Eternity Realm."
"Immortality." Upon hearing this realm, Demi Garrett and Yusuf Zuck both took a sharp intake of breath.
All cultivators know of the Eternity Realm, but so far, no one has touched its threshold.
Earlier, Demi Garrett had also ntioned to Yusuf Zuck that he’s not yet in the Eternity Realm; immortality is an elusive and completely unknown state.
So say that reaching the realm of immortality ans becoming a creator, the God of Creation.
But whether that is true, no one knows, and no one has verified it.
And now, with the fat Maitreya saying that this Firmant is a cultivation paradise of the Eternity Realm, this place truly is extraordinary.
"Are there Eternity Realm experts here?" Yusuf asked incredulously.
The fat Maitreya curiously glanced at Yusuf Zuck and Demi Garrett. These two don’t even know where they are, yet they dared to venture in here, truly audacious.
However, having overheard their earlier conversation, the Maitreya held them in high regard. After all, Yusuf Zuck and Demi Garrett expressed how difficult cultivation was and did not wish to disturb anyone, reflecting the ethos of genuine cultivators. That’s why he decided to et with them.
"In the past, everyone here was in the Eternity Realm, including the master of this temple, who was at the First Level of the Immortality Realm. Later, they all entered the ’Altar’ and disappeared, their fate unknown."
"Could you elaborate?" Demi Garrett bowed slightly as he asked.
"Certainly," the fat Maitreya thought for a mont and said, "A long ti ago, there were Eternity Realm experts in the Firmant. Upon reaching here, the innate resources and Spiritual Power of this place greatly aided their cultivation for immortality."
"It was also an era where nurous heroes erged, with silent cultivation abodes and altars scattered throughout the mountains and forests."
"Of course, the Firmant also had an altar. This altar was ancient, and no one knew how it appeared or could trace its age, but no one could enter it."
"But one day, a piece of news delighted the Eternity experts — the altar glowed and the Altar’s door opened."
"Everyone flocked in, and after three days of the ritual being opened, it closed, and thereafter, no one ca out."
"Of course, since they cultivated here, so left behind divine pets or spiritual guardian beasts, and one day, these creatures also gathered around the Altar, an area nad the Floating Earth. After entering the Floating Earth, no one re-erged."
"Altar, Eternity Realm, divine pets, and spiritual beasts." Yusuf Zuck and Demi Garrett gathered a wealth of information, all undoubtedly very useful.
"Then why can’t we fly here? We also can’t release our Divine Consciousness, what’s the reason?" Yusuf suddenly asked.
"These are the rules of the Firmant; for non-Eternity beings, everything is restricted. It not only limits your flight and Divine Sense but also hinders so of your Divine Skills."
"Phew~" Yusuf Zuck and Demi Garrett nodded heavily. Indeed, the restriction on releasing Divine Sense ans that so Divine Skills involving Divine Sense Attack can’t be used.
"Then how do you remain here, fellow Daoist?" Demi Garrett pondered and asked.
"I attained enlightennt after all the divine pets and spiritual beasts left. Before they departed, I had already gained Spiritual wisdom, thanks to my master’s favor and the marvelous fortune he gave ."
"I was originally an earth rat in this temple. While my forr master practiced day and night, I would always co out at night to find food, circling around him. One day, he found it amusing and kindly helped awaken my spiritual wisdom with a flick of his finger. At that ti, I developed a vague consciousness, wanting to recognize him as my master, but he shook his head, saying I wasn’t qualified to be his servant and should fend for myself and cultivate independently."
"I see," Yusuf Zuck and Demi Garrett nodded.
"Where is the altar then? You ntioned earlier that this place is fit for Eternity Realm cultivation; is there so other kind of Spiritual Power here? Why haven’t we felt it?"
"Only upon reaching the Eternity Realm can one sense the Spiritual Power here. Only in the Eternity Realm can one fly here without constraint."
"As for the altar, it’s here, millions of miles away. If you travel day and night, it would take about over three hundred years to reach. There are no specific pathways, just a continuous forward direction, as the world here is round; no matter how you travel, you’ll always reach the altar, but it takes ti, with three hundred years being the minimum."
"Uh..." Yusuf Zuck and Demi Garrett felt a black line across their heads, unable to fly, making the journey of millions of miles take three hundred years even at the fastest.
"What if I find a flying spiritual beast to take us there?" Yusuf recalled having thousands of Divine Beasts in his Blue Sea and Cloud Sky, so if they could fly, they could simply fly over directly.
"Non-Eternity, unable to fly. Even the flying spiritual beasts of many great ones before couldn’t fly, only able to walk on the ground."
"Well, that’s it," Yusuf sighed. Three hundred years to reach the altar? He doesn’t have that kind of ti.
Besides, what if he reaches the altar? Without it being opened, he certainly couldn’t enter.
He’s just curious, whether those Eternity Realm experts are dead or alive now.
So there really is an Eternity Realm under the sky.
"By the way, is the Eternity Realm the realm of the creator?" He suddenly asked.
"What realm is the creator?" This ti it was the fat Maitreya who was confused, having never heard of the creator’s realm.
"It’s like Opening the Heavens and Earth, creating people and creatures out of thin air, controlling ti, fate, and the future," Demi Garrett explained from the side.
"From what I know, my forr master seed unable to create things out of thin air..." The fat Maitreya shook his head.
"Then what did you an by the First Level of the Immortality Realm?" Demi Garrett asked again.
"The Eternity Realm is not just one level. Entering the Eternity Realm is the first level, and with continuous cultivation, one can reach the second, third, and even more levels."
"Alright, the Nirvana Realm isn’t enough," Yusuf said with a pout.
Demi Garrett nodded, "Nirvana is indeed just the predecessor of Immortality, beyond argunt. It might take multiple rebirths through Nirvana to achieve immortality."
"I do know a bit about this," the fat Maitreya suddenly nodded, "My forr master once said, he went through nine nirvanas to reach immortality!"
