Chapter 597: Chapter 596: The Truth

Has all this time what we believed to be the Cultivation World merely been a large star? Or perhaps, it is a heavenly expanse constituted by numerous star planets.

"What did you say?" Some have already stood up in disbelief.

Alexander Carter sighed, "What you know as the Cultivation World is actually a planet known as the Cultivation Great Star. This planet is massive to the extent that even a master of Mahayana stage would struggle to reach its end within a short span of time. However, it is just one of the many large stars in the Cultivation World. It is said that there are endless Cultivation Planets as mentioned in the inheritance of Emperor Huang. I am unclear about the specifics."

Upon hearing this, images of a massive star surfaced in everyone’s heads, their hearts shaking at the enormity of it all.

"Just how big is this Great Star then?" Someone couldn’t resist but ask once more.

"I am not really sure about this. All I know is that the legends describe these planets being thousands of times larger than the Earth. Earth is classified as one of the smaller planets in the realm of Cultivation."

Everyone was stunned. No one had ever imagined that a cultivation planet could be that vast.

However, cultivators were able to understand this. After all, if a cultivator were to fly on Earth, they could orbit the planet within a short span of time. If cultivation planets were that small, cultivators would find themselves running into everything.

Alexander Carter looked at everyone and said, "The Cultivation Great Star is indeed an outstanding planet. It is teeming with an abundant amount of spiritual energy, making cultivation quite speedy. However, the distance between there and us is immensely far. It’s so distant that only a special path can be used to reach it. The Heavenly Dao is a wonderful thing. Having created the entire world, a path has been created between the Cultivation Star and other star planets. Some Great Powers can discover this path and can reach the Cultivation Star by setting up within it."

A man, who seemed to be a scientist, shook his head, "I don’t quite agree with you. If it is as you say, then the universe would be a living entity, and not a desolate land. If this is true, then what exactly is the universe?"

Another elder scientist agreed, "You are saying this special pathway existed before humans, could this imply the existence of a deity? Wouldn’t our world become a place created by someone? This seems like an absurd tale."

Alexander Carter glanced at the two and said, out of youthful vigor, "Just because you are unaware of something, does not deny its existence. The science you fail to comprehend you dismiss as myth. Let me pose you a question, how much time would it take to travel from Return-to-Earth Star to Earth using your knowledge?"

One old man remarked, "If we calculate using light-years, even several generations of people would not be able to reach it."

Alexander Carter scoffed, "Very well, let me tell you all this then. We arrived here by folding space. The journey from our place to Earth merely spans a few months. Can’t this be considered scientific? Or is it viewed as a myth from their perspective?"

The elder scientists were left speechless.

This was quite a significant piece of information. Peter Brown couldn’t help absorb the knowledge. Peter had a feeling that Emperor Huang was no ordinary character; otherwise, he wouldn’t be aware of so many secrets.

Robert Williams asked, "As per what you’ve just said, can we reach the Cultivation World instantly using this pathway?"

Alexander Carter replied, "Yes, the Heavenly Dao pathway is indeed swift. However, those who have not reached the Foundation Establishment stage will not be able to reach the Cultivation Star. Firstly, there is the restriction of Heavenly Dao. Secondly, the spiritual energy on that particular star is intense. The bodies of mortals cannot take the influence of that massive influx of spiritual energy. Hence, during this teleportation journey, cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage manage to safely reach the star, while the lower-ranked ones can only reach some mid-way star planets. Of course, these star planets are far stronger than planets like Earth where spiritual energy is scarce."

By now, everyone understood the distinction between cultivators and the average personnel. As they said, mortals entering places with abundant spiritual energy would not be able to withstand the massive energy surge which could potentially lead to an energy explosion.

At that moment, Peter asked, "Considering what you said, there are pathways between every planet and the Cultivation World, so there must be various species on the Cultivation Star, right?"

Alexander Carter replied, "Correct, there is a vast diversity of species on the Cultivation Star. The planet is massive and is a destination every cultivator aspires to reach."

At this point, glancing at everyone, Alexander Carter continued to explain, "Return-to-Earth Star is a Relay Planet. The spiritual energy abundance there is far more than that on Earth, and there are many more planets like it. In reality, given how vast the universe is, numerous planets are inhabited by humans. These Relay Planets exist on the same plane, so we could usually communicate, only that the Earth is too backward to establish communication."

A middle-aged man pondered and then said, "In that case, are all cultivators returning from the Cultivation World actually from relay planets like Return-to-Earth Star?"

Alexander Carter nodded subtly, "In all honesty, it is only because the Great Emperor of the Return-to-Earth Star has inherited a lot of knowledge that we know about these matters. Many past cultivators didn’t realize that they hadn’t actually reached the true Cultivation Star."

At that moment, silence descended upon the room. Nobody had expected such a situation to exist.

"Are the people on the Return-to-Earth Star mostly those brought by Emperor Huang?" someone asked.

Alexander Carter replied, "The teleportation pathway drops people into various Relay Star Planets depending on their cultivation levels. Mainly, the Return-to-Earth Star is a Mortal Star. Emperor Huang brought one hundred thousand people. Most of them were mortals and naturally landed on the Return-to-Earth Star. Even the powerhouses found out about this only while in the teleportation pathway. By then, there was no way to turn back the clock. The Will of the Heavenly Dao does not permit Emperor Huang and his people to stay. Hence, many settled on Return-to-Earth Star. Later, some powerhouses went further into the teleportation because their cultivation skyrocketed. We are uncertain whether they managed to reach the Cultivation Star."

"There’s such a thing!" Everyone was taken aback.

Peter frowned relentlessly. He felt that Emperor Huang might have been fooled. He certainly wasn’t fully aware of the telepathic pathway situation. he brought all his elite men to the Cultivation Star. He might have reached the real Cultivation Star, but a large number of his subordinates were dumped midway onto Return-to-Earth Star.

Thinking about it, Peter was at a loss for words, pondering what Emperor Huang’s situation might have been back then.
