Chapter 346: Chapter 345 Heavenly Dao is Forbidden

Looking at Peter Brown, Seth Wilson used True Qi to fill up the water again, and only after adding some hot water to each person’s cup, he sighed and said, "Sean Jones was also a cultivation expert, but unfortunately, his cultivation talent was below average!"

At this point, Peter thought of The Investiture of the Gods which he had read and nodded slightly, "The book did mention that his cultivation talent was indeed not great, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been assigned to handle the inveStiture of the Gods matter."

Logan Anderson laughed, "Speaking of which, it really frustrated him. He was a clever person, his strategies were astounding, and he accomplished many great deeds. Even in the whole war between the cultivators and the Demon Clan, he was a core figure. However, after the end of the war, he realized that his cultivation was too low and he was unable to enter the Heavenly Dao."

"Isn’t the winner supposed to be eligible to enter? Although his cultivation is lower, he should have that chance, right?"

Peter was confused by this.

Unconsciously, Peter was now completely immersed in the story, and he began to feel that perhaps those mythological stories from the past were genuinely real.

Thinking back on the plot of the book, the more he considered it, the more he felt that much of the true content had been intentionally diluted by people. Moreover, many real things, due to the lack of scientific proof, were classified as superstitions.

Sighing, Seth Wilson said, "The war between the Shang and Zhou periods was a battle negotiated by the high-levels of both parties. In that battle, due to Sean Jones’ command, many demons were killed. Think about it, would the demons have liked Sean Jones? As a result, under some agreements between the two sides, Sean Jones was abandoned!"

Hearing this, Peter also secretly sighed. Sometimes being too powerful is a sin. Having killed so many members of the Demon Clan, would they let Sean Jones have the hope of achieving immortality?

Jack Thompson said, "Seeing one subordinates after another ascending to Heaven, Sean Jones was clearly frustrated at the time, but he had no choice but to stay."

At this time, Peter asked doubtfully, "Weren’t there three Sects at that time? Were those three Sects immortals?"

Seth Wilson shook his head, "Think about it, if they were really immortals, would their battles take place on Earth? Let me tell you, even if Earth is as powerful as it is, a single attack by an immortal could destroy it, let alone their intense battles."

Peter was shocked and said, "The book always describes them as an extraordinary existence. Saints are the highest level, and the whole world is actually controlled by them, right?"

"We’re not very clear about the specific situation, but one thing I dare say is that they should also be a level of cultivators. At most, they just touched the edge of becoming immortals."

"Didn’t Sun Wukong cause havoc in the heavenly palace later? Isn’t the heavenly palace the Immortal Realm?"

Seth Wilson shook his head and said, "Many things are recorded in the books. Actually, with our understanding of the Cultivation World, these people may not necessarily be immortals. They should be people who have reached the Nascent Soul Stage or above in the Cultivation World. As for the matter of those who died in the Shang and Zhou war becoming gods, we have a feeling that it is nothing more than obtaining a quota. They got a body and then entered the Cultivation World."

Peter looked at the four of them, having a hard time accepting what they had said. However, if he didn’t accept it, he couldn’t think of any rebuttal. He could only sit there full of doubts.

"Peter, there’s no need to dwell on these things. Many things we won’t know because we haven’t reached that level yet. That’s all thousands of years ago, far away from us. Who knows, maybe they’ve reached even higher realms by now."

Peter nodded and said, "Let’s talk about the Investiture of the Gods then. Take Sean Jones, for example. With his skills, he shouldn’t have given up so easily, right?"

Logan Anderson said, "His spiritual roots were too poor. Even if he got a chance to be reborn by seizing a body, he might not be able to achieve much. It’s better to be reincarnated instead. Only then is there a chance to get good spiritual roots."

"That’s right. His Master probably saw his situation and passed down a heritage to him," said Jack Thompson.

"Heritage?" Peter looked at Seth Wilson.

"Yes, Sean Jones’ master told him that his spiritual roots were too poor. Even if he entered the cultivation world, he wouldn’t have much hope of becoming immortal. It’d be better to be reincarnated on Earth."

Peter nodded and said, "That’s also a way. If he reincarnated well in a certain life, his spiritual roots might be very good."

Nodding slightly, Seth Wilson said, "Sean Jones thought the same thing after he received the Reincarnation Secret. He then remained on Earth with peace of mind. As he passed away, guess who he turned into in the first reincarnation?"

Peter just laughed and said, "How would I know!"

Now the more they talked, the more absurd it seemed, but in his heart, Peter actually acknowledged what they had said. He realized that he really knew too little about the Cultivation World.

"Sunbin, yes, the great military strategist Sunbin from the Warring States period!"

This time, Peter looked at Seth Wilson with no small amount of surprise and asked, "Really?"

"It’s true, he admitted it himself, there’s no mistake about it; he was reincarnated as Sunbin."

Peter said, "This reincarnation must have been pretty good, he should have a very good spiritual root, right?"

"Yes, he has a very good spiritual root, a top-grade spiritual root, and he was given the full support and teaching of the Ghost Valley Sect. However, Sean Jones never expected that the hatred of the Demon Clan towards him would run so deep. They made use of Evan Pangbourne, who had long ago infiltrated the Ghost Valley Sect, to dig out his knees and destroy his dantian below the navel, making him lose the possibility of cultivation from then on. As a result, he had to reincarnate again."

Peter couldn’t help but ask, "Didn’t the Ghost Valley Sect do anything about it?"

"The Ghost Valley Sect is actually a scattered sect, and this sect does not prohibit internal strife among its disciples. Because their teachings are quite extensive, this sect has produced many famous people whom we can learn about; too many, in fact. Among the five hundred disciples of the Ghost Valley Sect, the most famous are Su Qin, Zhang Yì, Sunbin, Evan Pangbourne, Shang Yang, and the rest – Li Si, Pubsi, Xu Fu, Gan Mao, Sima Cuo, Lü Yi, Fan Jū, Cai Ze, Zou Jì, Lì Shíkuídé, Kuài Tōng, Yellow Stone, Braxton Lee, Slater Williams, and others – are all very impressive individuals."

Only then did Peter learn that the Ghost Valley Sect was such a powerful sect. He asked, "Does this sect still exist?" Peter was now truly in awe of the Ghost Valley Sect; it was incredible. Many of the people inside were great figures whom he had admired for a long time.

Seth Wilson shook his head and said, "This sect has long been divided into too many smaller sects, and has already lost its inheritance."

All Peter could do was sigh in disappointment.

Logan Anderson said, "Let’s talk about Sean Jones instead. His second reincarnation was the famous Zhuge Liang. This reincarnation was also quite good, with a top-grade spiritual root as well. His cultivation increased rapidly, and his moves such as borrowing the easterly wind and summoning the True Fire were all quite astonishing. In all his campaigns, he also gained a lot of cultivation resources. This time, he was more cautious than ever, but when he thought that he could cultivate successfully in this lifetime, he was inexplicably cursed by the Demon Clan people. He set up a Rangxing Formation in the Wuzhang Plains, with the aim of breaking the blood curse, but unfortunately, it was eventually broken by Mallory Williams, who was controlled by the Demon Clan, and he died again."

Hearing this, Peter could only smile bitterly. He couldn’t believe that there was such a thing and couldn’t help but ask, "His next reincarnation should also be a very impressive figure, right?"

"Indeed, his next reincarnation was Sebastian Evans of the Ming Dynasty."

"Did he have a similarly good spiritual root in this life?"

"Yes, once again he had a top-grade spiritual root, cultivating at a fast pace, and helping Zhu Yuanzhang unify the world. In this life, Sean Jones was even more cautious, and he learned about his past life early on, not allowing anyone to destroy his path to Ascending Heaven. After unifying the world, he gained a large amount of cultivation resources. Then, just before he left, he did one more thing."

"What?" Peter asked curiously.

"What he hated the most in his life was the Demon Clan, who had made him go through several cycles of reincarnation on Earth. So, he was unwilling to see the Demon Clan enter the Heavenly Dao. When he successfully established his Foundation, he traveled all over the world, severing all the remaining spirit veins one by one. Along with his severing, the only remaining spirit veins on Earth completely disappeared, and from then on, cultivating became even more difficult."

Peter was shocked when he heard this and exclaimed, "In that case, the people of Earth lost their chance to become immortals? His actions not only made it impossible for the Demon Clan to cultivate, but also for humans! However, it seems that the Demon Clan still has a path to heaven in the sea, right?"

Seth Wilson sighed, "Indeed, he went to the sea to fight the Demon Clan again, setting up a formation there as well to block the Demon Clan’s path to heaven. His actions were indeed quite ruthless, making cultivating on Earth even more difficult. Losing spiritual energy also made it difficult for Lingcao to grow; both the Human Clan and the Demon Clan couldn’t quickly increase their cultivation. One of the biggest results of this action was that it made it even more difficult for the Demon Clan to survive. Their cultivators died one by one over the course of hundreds of years, while the Human Clan, on the other hand, almost wiped out the Demon Clan with the progress of technology, making it an age where demons no longer existed. This was an act of revenge by Sebastian Evans."

"Using the inability of the Human Clan to cultivate as revenge against the Demon Clan, this Sebastian Evans!" Peter was also speechless.

Logan Anderson said, "There is another situation in the Heavenly Dao. Sebastian Evans set up a large formation to hide the Heavenly Dao. If you want to ascend to the Heavenly Dao, besides having to cultivate to the Foundation Establishment, you also need the ability to break the formation. What we are doing now is gathering formation masters to break that formation first. We’ve seen your ability in terms of formations, and we hope you can join our ranks in breaking the formation."

It was only at this point that Peter understood the purpose of these people inviting him to come.
