Chapter 236 Ancestral Aperture Between the Eyebrows
Watching Lin Fei fall into the whirlpool and disappear, the Hidden Sword Elder waved his hand again, and the water gradually calmed down, and the whirlpool disappeared as well.
The old man with the hidden sword picked up his fishing rod again, flicked his wrist, and cast the hook into the water. He then began fishing leisurely once more.
Just then, Jian Qing returned and stood behind the Hidden Sword Elder: "Master, are you really going to pass on the Three Immortal Swords to that kid without giving him any test?"
"Isn't this Celestial Sword Realm the greatest test for him?" The Hidden Sword Elder said without turning his head, "Jian Qing, your mind is not at peace. Is it because your master didn't pass on the Three Immortal Swords completely to you, but instead passed them on to an outsider?"
Jian Qing was slightly startled and lowered his head: "No, Master. Jian Qing was raised by you since childhood. Being able to stay by your side is already the greatest blessing for Jian Qing. I would never dare to covet the inheritance of the Three Immortal Swords."
"So that's why you can't pass on the Three Immortal Swords to me." The Hidden Sword Elder sighed slightly and waved his hand. "You may step down. Mastering the Wisdom Sword is enough for you to benefit for a lifetime. Human desires are insatiable. If your master were to pass on the Three Immortal Swords to you completely, it would only harm you!"
"Yes, Master." Jian Qing gritted his teeth and retreated, even biting his lips until they bled slightly.
The old man with the hidden sword sighed again, then closed his eyes, seemingly completely immersed in the pleasure of fishing.
……
Lin Fei was propelled into the whirlpool on the water's surface by that immense force. The scene before him suddenly shifted, and he found himself in a completely different world.
This world is the minor world created by the Hidden Sword Elder—the Celestial Sword Realm.
All experts at the Celestial Realm have the ability to create a unique microcosm. In fact, an expert at the Celestial Realm is themselves a microcosm independent of the Great Thousand World.
Therefore, when a master at the Heavenly Human Realm goes all out, they can unleash a power equivalent to the explosion of a small thousand worlds.
The biggest difference between the minor world created by the Celestial Realm and the major world in which ordinary people live is that there is no life within the minor world.
Creating life is something only gods can do. Even a master of the celestial level cannot create life out of thin air.
To be able to create life from nothingness is no longer the mark of a celestial being, but that of a deity—only by reaching the realm of an earthly immortal can one create life within one's own small world.
That's a realm beyond the imagination of ordinary people. The legendary Great Thousand World where everyone lives was created by the ancient god Pangu. Even Lin Fei today wouldn't dare to imagine such a level of cultivation.
Within the Celestial Sword Realm created by the Hidden Sword Elder, there were already faint signs of life. There were even some flowers and grasses on the ground, but there were no towering trees or any other signs of life.
"It seems that Senior Sword Master is indeed close to reaching the Earth Immortal realm!" Lin Fei couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the flowers and plants on the ground.
Just then, a voice suddenly rang in Lin Fei's ears: "Boy, are you the successor that Hidden Sword has his eye on?"
Lin Fei was startled by the sudden sound—although the Hidden Sword Elder was close to reaching the Earth Immortal realm, a slight difference could lead to a world of difference. Before reaching the Earth Immortal realm, no matter how high one's cultivation level, it would be absolutely impossible for any advanced life forms to exist in the small world one creates, let alone "people" who can speak.
Lin Fei was startled and looked in the direction of the voice. He saw a white-haired, ragged "person" sitting cross-legged on the ground in the distance. His appearance was eight parts similar to the Hidden Sword Elder he had seen before.
"Sword Master Senior?" Lin Fei asked in surprise, then realized that the person in front of him was not the Hidden Sword Elder.
Although their appearances were almost identical, the aura emanating from him was significantly weaker than that of the Hidden Sword Elder. Moreover, his figure was semi-transparent, and through his body, one could vaguely see what was behind him.
This person is not a complete "person," but more like an illusion or something similar.
"What Sword Master senior?" Upon hearing Lin Fei's words, the man also showed a rather displeased expression: "I am not that guy Hidden Sword. Or rather, I am just a mark that guy left in this world."
"A mark?" Even though Lin Fei had gained considerable knowledge in the path of cultivation, he still didn't know what the mark the old man in front of him was.
"Indeed, it is a mark." The old man in front of him chuckled. "Judging from your cultivation level of only the Acupoint Realm, you probably don't know what a mark is, do you?"
"This junior truly does not know," Lin Fei nodded.
The old man before him was clearly of good temperament, and he explained to Lin Fei with a smile, "The so-called mark is a clone left behind by a powerful cultivator at the Celestial Realm within the minor world they create. When the minor world truly takes shape, this clone can become the 'sole true god' of this world. At the same time, even if the original body dies, it can instantly revive using the clone mark. Therefore, a mark like mine is also called an 'external avatar'."
At this point, a hint of melancholy appeared in the old man's eyes. Such an avatar was merely something that could only exist by attaching itself to the original body. Although it possessed its own consciousness, if anything happened to the original body, the avatar's consciousness would be instantly stripped away, becoming a tool used by the original body for resurrection.
Such a near-immortal supernatural power is something even powerful beings at the Celestial Realm cannot possess. One must reach the Earth Immortal Realm to truly use an external avatar and achieve the state of infinite resurrection.
Only those at the Earth Immortal realm can be considered truly immortal, unless all their avatars are destroyed simultaneously. Otherwise, they can resurrect infinitely and instantly create numerous external avatars.
Therefore, the realm of Earth Immortals is also known as the "Legendary Realm." The avatar of the Hidden Sword Elder before us is clearly not yet fully formed, hence its semi-transparent appearance.
"Let's not talk about me." The old man concealed the desolation in his eyes and waved his hand, saying, "Let's talk about you. Seeing that your inner world is already formed, I suppose that guy Hidden Sword sent you in to condense the ancestral aperture between your eyebrows?"
Lin Fei nodded and replied, "That's right, Senior Sword Master, you want me to enter this Celestial Sword Realm to condense the ancestral aperture between my eyebrows."
