The Legends: The Tale of Immortality
Chapter 75: Silver Level Cultivator
"That's enough."
When everyone thought that Luo Hong would be killed on the spot, the female senior who was merely acting as an observer from the side grabbed onto her male companion's shoulder and stopped the action.
"You're gonna kill him. It's enough I have to handle these juniors so don't give me any more new patients, especially the stock of new corpses."
The power that was suffocating Luo Hong subsided slowly. As soon as Luo Hong's life-threatening gripping aura faded, the young man lost his restraint and plunged straight down.
The scene left the audience with a long silence. The air of tension that swirled in that place did not stop spreading at the sight of their senior's frightening strength.
The free-falling Luo Hong had an appearance that looked like it was new through a series of fierce fights that took lives, whereas the young man was actually suppressed unilaterally by an opponent far superior to him.
"Huh.. I seem to have gone too far," said the senior man with a soft sigh as he looked at the body lying on the broken arena floor.
"Given the situation where the arena is already like this, I think the match will be postponed for a while," said the senior woman while looking at her juniors who were sitting on the bleachers.
"In the future we hope that you will abide by all the rules and protocols set out in the competition. If anyone were to repeat the actions of the student earlier, this is what you will receive and the impending punishment will not be light against you no matter what your status is outside of the academy," said the female senior with a cold expression and aura that gripped everyone present as a form of warning.
After giving a warning, the two seniors disappeared in the form of light by leaving behind only the rest of the powerful aura that was a sign that they had once been present.
Li Qing Yu stared into the empty air where the two seniors had been standing. His face did indeed display an extremely bound expression of confusion and admiration, but upon seeing how powerful the two seniors were earlier a fire grew inside his chest. He had seen many strong cultivators in his clan, yet he basically did not cross paths with them too often due to his isolated condition.
Even those cultivators who had reached the silver rank he had encountered were all uncles or aunts to grandfathers or grandmothers. Of course he knew that the silver cultivators he encountered were those who were the weakest among the figures in his clan, even it was said that his bastard father had reached the golden rank. Yet Li Qing Yu had never really seen her father or any other clan elder who displayed their strength.
He had only ever seen a group of aunt uncles and grandparents who always held their chin high with eyes that never stopped emitting emotions of disgust and ridicule when they met him. Sometimes they would also intentionally release the pressure of a silver level cultivator when they came across him.
The first time he was treated like that was not long after his mother died and his bastard father brought another woman into their family. Not enough to marry another woman in the midst of mourning for her mother's death, the Li Clan Chief also brought in three children into their family lineage.
Li Qing Yu would never forget the emotions of anger, sadness, and disbelief she felt when she was a child. Especially when the two boys brought in his father turned out to be much older than him. That means even before his mother gave birth to him, the father already had children with other women.
He even began to doubt whether the death of his mother was accidental or indeed because of the hands of others.
Little Li Qing Yu who was abandoned by her mother and ostracized by her father ended up being the target of bullying people in the clan. Not a few took advantage of the opportunity to vent their sense of superiority over the downfall of a child who had the status of a young master of the clan.
Because back then, little Li Qing Yu knew that if she displayed her talent and covered the rays of the three children who would become her brothers and half-sisters, she knew that she was going to be, then his fate may soon end in the hands of his new mother.
That was why he had harbored his hatred as a child and secretly cultivated his own strength to achieve his ambitions and avenge those who had wronged him. The only irregularity in his plan was Li Qing He who was off track.
The admiration for the abilities of the two seniors stronger than Li Qing He had turned into an obsession and pure spirit that pushed him. As Wei Si An said, the two seniors were silver level cultivators. They were still very young, perhaps only a few years older than Li Qing He or maybe even their age was the same, but the strength that existed within them was truly wonderful.
It was much more beautiful and amazing compared to the silver level cultivators he had encountered in the clan.
Li Qing Yu was now already a level 5 cultivator, as per the general standards she really was already extremely amazing. Even his talent that was at the black level had made him a genius in the eyes of others. But Li Qing Yu was not satisfied.
When compared to the two seniors who were able to reach the level of silver that was almost impossible to achieve for most people, he who was currently was nothing at all.
In order to break through the realm of silver rank, talent was one of the backers, but his unequaled determination and resources must also be sacrificed to break through the realm of level 9 into much greater territory.
Li Qing Yu had heard that those who had successfully redeemed tier 9 to the silver level realm would find that the path of immortality they had comprehended during their time at tier 1 to 9 was unmatched the silver level boundary.
Basically in order to truly enter and understand the foundation of immortality, they needed to redeem the silver level. For only then, their mortal selves would be reborn and open their divine destiny to build the sacred ladder of immortality.
This rule applies to any nation and race on this earth. Perhaps based on bloodlines, those who were a race of dragons, birds, demons, vampires, and elves had a greater chance of climbing the path of immortality. This theory has long been held during the early years of their ancestral days because indeed the lineage of these five races had more affinity to the achievements of their ancestors in the past.
Like the elf clan which is a nation of fairies and is a sacred creature that was born closer to nature, the demon clan on the other hand was a bloodline of an ancient demon that was rumored to have ascended into an immortal.
The path of eternity is always said to be open only to those who have goodness and an understanding of the truth of the world. Written in the history books long ago in older times, cultivators were divided into two camps.
The first was a truth cultivator who was considered to do everything and had an understanding of immortality based on kindness towards all beings. The second were the dark cultivators who represented evil, demons, and monsters that only brought destruction wherever they went.
Although both were cultivators, but the written history lays out that the ones who are able to become immortals are the cultivators of truth while the cultivators of darkness will be destroyed before they even manage to set foot into the realm of immortals.
Yet somehow this theory was broken when the first darkness cultivator became an immortal and climbed to a higher rank than any truth cultivator had ever achieved. After the first ascension, the next ranks of darkness cultivators also treaded the same path. No doubt this moment has changed the order of the world since then.
No one really knows what happened in the days of their ancestors, but from the historical relics on every clan of the various races, he said, they can only conclude that from the beginning their ancestors misrepresented the real world order or perhaps the rules of the world had changed by themselves for a certain purpose.
