On The Path Of Cultivation To Become God

Chen Tian took in a deep breath of crisp mountain air, feeling a sense of peace wash over him.

He really should take a walk and clear his mind every time he feels overwhelmed like this.

"Wu Ye, can you talk more about the Nine Heavens? I want to know everything there is to know," he said eagerly.

His voice contained a hint of excitement and nervousness as he awaited Wu Ye's response.

"Sure, I don't mind."

Wu Ye began to share her information about the Nine Heavens.

The first heaven is said to be the weakest of all the heavens; mortals are more capable of accessing it compared to the higher heavens.

"The first hell is the same as the first heaven. Demonic cultivators and demons can easily enter and exit it."

Chen Tian nodded in understanding, already aware of this information from his previous life.

As Chen Tian listened to Wu Ye's explanation, he inwardly thought that she would talk about the major city dominating the first heaven.

He already knew everything he needed to know about the first heaven, but he was curious to hear more about it from Wu Ye's perspective.

But to his shock, Wu Ye's next words made his world come crashing down.

"The first heaven consists of three main cities that are the main points after a cultivator mainly ascends to the first heaven.

These cities are Cloudborne True City, Misty Peak City, and Silvermoon City. Each city has its own unique characteristics and strengths:

Cloudborne True City is known for its bustling trade routes and diverse population, Misty Peak City for its mystical fog-covered landscape, and Silvermoon City for its opulent silver architecture."

'Silvermoon City? Cloudborne True City??'

Chen Tian's heart raced as he tried to process the information he had just heard. It was his first time hearing about these cities in the first heaven, and it completely changed his understanding of the world he thought he knew.

"Wu Ye, when was the last time you visited these cities?" Chen Tian inquired, his voice shaking. His tranquil eyes, which are often filled with calm, sparked with distant memories.

Wu Ye also seemed to sense Chen Tian's sudden change. "It's been many years since I last visited those cities," Wu Ye replied, her tone wistful.

"But if I have to put a number on it, maybe 100,000 years ago." Chen Tian couldn't believe his eyes, his gaze widening in astonishment.

"100,000 years... can it change with just this much time?"

Chen Tian whispered to himself in a low tone, struggling to comprehend the truth of the situation.

He started talking to Wu Ye about everything he knew about the first heaven, from cities to landscapes to sects, but no matter what he told her, Wu Ye didn't seem to know about it.

Even the big forces that dominated the first heaven in his previous life didn't exist.

For such things to change with time, it would take an unimaginable amount of time, even millions of years couldn't change that.

Chen Tian felt a sense of unease creeping over him as he realized the magnitude of everything.

Since his rebirth in this new world, Chen Tian had been curious about how much time had passed since his death?

Were his enemies still alive? Were the people he knew still alive?

Wu Ye sensed the tone in Chen Tian changing. The information that Chen Tian talked about was completely foreign to her. She even suspected if he knew something about the heavens.

"Wu Ye, what about the upper heavens?"

(A/N: Lower heavens: 1, 2, and 3; Middle Heavens: 4, 5, and 6; Upper heavens: 7, 8, and 9)

"Unfortunately, I don't know anything. Someone like me from the 3rd hell can't know about the upper heavens," Wu Ye replied with a hint of frustration.

"Why? Isn't the stairway of heaven supposed to allow everyone in heavens and hells to travel between the different heavens?" Chen Tian asked, genuinely curious.

The stairway of heavens is something like a portal that allows cultivators and even mortals to travel between other heavens without needing to have a certain cultivation or travel the void between various heavens.

Wu Ye sighed, "Yes, but only those that can pass the stairway challenge can advance to another heaven, and that is only allowed when ascending. As for descending, it is not possible without permission from the Supreme Emperor."

"Supreme Emperor?"

Chen Tian questioned, intrigued by the mention of a Supreme Emperor.

Wu Ye nodded, explaining that the Supreme Emperor was the ruler of all heavens and hells, the ultimate authority in the Nine Heavens.

"Only with the Supreme Emperor's permission can one descend from a higher heaven to a lower one," Wu Ye clarified.

Chen Tian couldn't help but feel something was wrong.

In his time, there wasn't someone called the Supreme Emperor, and even mortals could travel between heavens without any test or permission.

Chen Tian's heart sank as he realized that the world he had known was not the same as the one he had lived all his life.

Wu Ye's words painted a picture of a complex hierarchy and divine order that he had never imagined. How can one control the heavens? Has that person's cultivation exceeded his understanding? Chen Tian's mind raced with questions as he tried to make sense of this new reality.

Chen Tian persisted in questioning Wu Ye to measure the passage of time. He didn't delve into asking about other heavens, as even the first heaven had undergone changes. There was no hope for other heavens to remain the same.

In the end, what came to Chen Tian was a profound sense of despair.

Nothing he knew existed, the people he knew; no legends about them remained.

The world he once experienced had been completely changed, and Chen Tian struggled to come to terms with the idea that everything he once believed in was now gone.

"Everything isn't real."

His voice cracked as he whispered these words to himself, feeling utterly lost.

Crack~

He heard a cracking sound in his head, as if a chain was being released.

"Don't worry, everything will come to light when the time is right," a sweet voice echoed in his mind.

Chen Tian's eyes widened after hearing this voice; he felt familiar with it.

'It's the same woman who talked to me after I arrived at the Tevat Continent.'

"Hey, I need to ask you something!"

Chen Tian quickly shouted as he looked around, trying to make the woman speak more. But nothing but silence greeted him in return.

Chen Tian's heart sank as he realized that the woman disappeared again.

"Chen Tian, are you alright?" Wu Ye asked with concern in her voice.

Startled by Chen Tian's abrupt shout, Wu Ye jumped in surprise. Chen Tian kept silent for a moment, processing everything that had just happened.

After a while, he shook his head, trying to clear his thoughts. "I'm fine," he finally replied to Wu Ye, still feeling a sense of unease lingering in the air.

The mysterious woman's sudden appearances and disappearances made Chen Tian curious about her identity.
