Starting From The Equal Opportunity To Become A Saint

147. Chapter 147 Ancestor, You Are Finally Here!

Chapter 147: Ancestor, you've finally arrived!

Thirty years in the apocalypse.

The battle between humans and demons has never ceased.

Almost every year, there are countless casualties among the human race and demon beasts in the wilderness, as well as numerous city defense battles.

But even so, after a full thirty years, there has been no arrival of a true saint from the Illusionary Demon Realm to Earth.

Before Liu Zimo was reborn into this era, the strongest demon beasts on Earth were only at the level of kings, similar to the Three Great Martial Saints.

Therefore, Liu Zimo was well aware that it was definitely not an overnight task to completely solidify the teleportation channel to the extent that it could support the teleportation of Divine Grade or even Saint Grade demon beasts.

This is a cruel, bloody, enduring, and lengthy process!

So, there is still time.

"As long as I can successfully break through to the saint realm before the teleportation channel is completely solidified, everything will still be possible!"

Liu Zimo muttered to himself.

For others, or ancient spirit beasts like the Longevity Turtle, breaking through to the saint realm might also be an extremely slow and lengthy process, perhaps taking decades or even hundreds of years to accomplish.

But for Liu Zimo, it was just a matter of binding a few more "good brothers" or finding more spirit pets.

It wouldn't take him as long as thirty years, he would definitely be able to smoothly step into the realm of true saints!

"The so-called bottleneck of godhood is nothing more than the barrel effect caused by the imbalance between spirit and martial cultivation!"

"As long as I can make up for the shortcomings in my spiritual cultivation, and balance my spirit and martial cultivation to be equal, I will definitely be able to step into the realm of true saints!"

This was the greatest realization and gain from Liu Zimo's half-month seclusion.

He discovered that the so-called saint realm was actually about bringing all aspects of a person's cultivation to a state of perfection and unity.

Whether it was physical martial arts or spiritual cultivation, they were all part of human cultivation and none could be lacking.

It was like how much water a barrel could hold did not depend on the longest plank, but on the shortest one.

And entering the saint realm meant making up for all the shortcomings in the human body, and pushing them all to their peak state that one could bear!

Liu Zimo knew that the reason he was experiencing the bottleneck of godhood, and why his martial arts cultivation was stuck at the peak of the godhood realm without being able to break through to the saint realm, was not because there was any flaw or deficiency in his martial arts realm.

It was because his spiritual cultivation was still stuck at the Spirit Abyss realm, far from reaching the peak of the Spirit Domain realm that was equal to the godhood realm in martial arts.

The imbalance between spirit and martial cultivation, the lack of a short plank!

The spiritual cultivation and physical cultivation could not achieve a complete Integrated Union, so they were stuck at a bottleneck and unable to transcend into the saint realm.

"So, this problem is not unsolvable, it just needs some time!"

Liu Zimo's mind gradually relaxed and became clearer about his next efforts.

While luring and killing more Soul-Eating Bugs, he would focus on cultivating some geniuses in spiritual cultivation!

Otherwise, relying solely on his own talent in spiritual cultivation to strive for cultivation, thirty or fifty years might not be enough to push his spiritual cultivation to the peak of the Spirit Domain realm!

As he spoke, the teleportation channel in the void disappeared once again.

The sky above brightened completely, and the demon beasts that had been falling from the sky like rain also completely ceased.

At this point, although the third demon calamity had not completely ended, at least the source of the calamity had temporarily closed, and there would be no more advanced demon beasts descending from the sky!

Swish!

With a thought, Liu Zimo collected all the demon beast corpses that had landed on the back of the old turtle into the Eastern Pearl to decompose and digest them.

Continuously absorbing the spiritual energy hidden within them to restore the spiritual charm of the Eastern Pearl.

Seeing this, the old turtle knew that its task as a shield was complete, so it lazily stretched and suddenly shrank its enormous body.

Once again, it transformed into a small turtle the size of a palm, retracting its limbs and head, motionless as it lay on Liu Zimo's right shoulder, closing its eyes and pretending to sleep.

Liu Zimo raised his hand and lightly patted its shell as a sign of praise.

Then, in a flash, he appeared on top of the tallest commercial building in the city center, releasing his spiritual domain to observe all directions.

Swish!

Just as Liu Zimo released his spiritual domain.

The turtle, who had just been silent on his shoulder, suddenly trembled, and its head, which had been retracted into its shell, leisurely poked out again.

Without any hesitation, the turtle opened its mouth wide and swiftly swallowed towards Liu Zimo, who was right in front of it!

"How daring!"

Liu Zimo's mind moved, and his martial intent instantly erupted, blocking the turtle's head that was about to devour him right in front of his eyes, not allowing it to make any progress.

Sure enough!

This old turtle fell for it!

Liu Zimo sighed lightly in his heart.

Ever since he learned that the giant claw that had just emerged from the teleportation channel belonged to the Devouring Spirit Ancestor, Liu Zimo had been on guard in his heart.

The Devouring Spirit Insect Clan's most adept attack was not close combat or long-range attacks, but spiritual invasion and control!

The turtle had direct contact with the Devouring Spirit Ancestor, so it was inevitable that it would be manipulated!

In fact, Liu Zimo deliberately released his spiritual domain just now, openly displaying his spiritual cultivation strength at the Spirit Abyss Realm, in order to lure it into taking the initiative.

Now it seemed that it worked!

Looking at the sudden ferocity and rebellion displayed by the turtle, what else could it be if not being controlled by the Devouring Spirit Ancestor?

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, even if it had ten thousand times the courage, it would never dare to kill its master as long as the soul contract had not been canceled!

Because once the master prematurely detonated the strand of soul origin it had sacrificed.

Even if it didn't die, it would become a dumb turtle because of the backlash of the soul!

"Turtle, wake up!"

Liu Zimo activated his spiritual consciousness and used the "Awakening Art" to shake the turtle's spiritual sea, trying to wake it up from its illusion.

The old turtle's body trembled, and its head that had poked out directly stiffened on the spot.

At the same time, Liu Zimo saw a red light shoot out from the turtle's forehead, without any hindrance, directly entering Liu Zimo's spiritual sea!

"Huh? This is... the aura of the Ancestor?!"

Just as the light entered the sea of consciousness, the demon Lingling, who had been imprisoned in the confinement space, suddenly woke up from her meditation.

When it saw the red-armored cute beast that had broken into this sea of consciousness from the outside world, the entire insect became excited and restless, with thought waves more active and intense than ever before!

"It really is the Ancestor! It really is the Ancestor!"

"Although it's just a clone, it's still the Ancestor's spiritual body clone, possessing partial cultivation strength at the Saint Realm!"

"Great, great! This prodigy is finally saved!"

"The Ancestor has finally heard this insect's prayers and sent a clone to the mortal realm!"

"Hahaha! Liu Zimo, no matter how talented you are, how vast your sea of consciousness is, and how abnormal your cultivation speed is!

In front of an Ancestor who is already at the Saint Realm, you still have to obediently bow down and submit!"

"......"

Yao Lingling cheered excitedly, even starting to wiggle its little butt and dance in place to celebrate!

In its eyes, even the incarnation of the ancestor had descended to the mortal realm. It thought that dealing with Liu Zimo, who had just entered the Spirit Abyss Realm, would be a piece of cake.

"Fortunately, this bug's complaints about the ancestor were all kept in its heart and not spoken out loud. Otherwise, if the ancestor had sensed it, it would have been troublesome!"

"But no matter what, this bug has finally endured to the end. It can finally regain its freedom and go outside to cultivate and graze as it pleases!"

"Hehe, this bug is now at the King Realm! And it remembers the whereabouts of the two human intellectual evolutionists."

"As long as this bug finds them, whether it captures or kills them, it can earn a massive amount of merit. Then, this bug can apply to return to its own race, use the rewards from the Demon Lord, and strive for a higher divine realm!"

Yao Lingling was extremely proud, even fantasizing about how to efficiently improve its cultivation after going out.

Hearing that this little bug had set its sights on Xiao Jiu and Qi Guochang, two human intellectual evolutionists, Liu Zimo's gaze turned slightly cold, and he couldn't help but sneer.

This little guy sure knows how to scheme.

But it's a pity, it's going to be disappointed again this time!

If he, Liu Zimo, didn't have full confidence, how could he risk letting a Holy Realm devouring spirit worm's incarnation enter his own sea of consciousness?

Even the Yao Lingling that had been staying in his sea of consciousness didn't know how much benefit Liu Zimo gained from the High-Level Spiritual Energy he risked swallowing in the transmission channel.

Not to mention his martial cultivation, just his sea of consciousness expanded by nearly fifty thousand meters in just a short ten seconds!

Now, Liu Zimo's sea of consciousness had officially broken through the limit of one million meters!

Not to mention just an incarnation of the devouring spirit ancestor, even if the real devouring spirit ancestor came, Liu Zimo wouldn't hesitate to fight it in his sea of consciousness!

Swish!

Liu Zimo's divine sense flickered as he focused all his attention on the devouring spirit ancestor's incarnation that had already entered the center of his sea of consciousness.

A mini-sized beetle about the size of a palm, with a red body and agile physique, raised its two large front claws that were the same length as its body.

At first glance, it looked just like the spicy crayfish that Liu Zimo used to love eating!

At this moment, this incarnation had already started spitting out spiritual threads, continuously probing and exploring the bottom of the sea of consciousness, seemingly wanting to root and weave a web to completely control this sea of consciousness!

This was the most commonly used instinctual method of the devouring spirit clan, and Liu Zimo had witnessed it more than once.

But he didn't expect that even the devouring spirit ancestor, who was at the Holy Realm, couldn't escape from this instinctual restraint and was still using this old-fashioned attack method.

Under Liu Zimo's close observation, the spiritual threads extended by the devouring spirit ancestor's incarnation continued to dive deeper.

One thousand meters, ten thousand meters, twenty thousand meters, one hundred thousand meters...

Until the spiritual threads had dived more than two hundred thousand meters, Liu Zimo sensed a slight fluctuation in the calm and waveless emotions of the spicy crayfish.

However, it didn't become discouraged because of this. Unlike Yao Lingling or the other devouring spirit worms before, it didn't panic, roar, or become restless. It remained calm.

"Indeed, a master!"

"No wonder he can subdue and tame a spiritual beast at the Divine Realm!"

At this moment, Liu Zimo finally heard the self-talk in the devouring spirit ancestor's thoughts:

"A sea of consciousness space of two hundred thousand meters. Even in the human realm of the Illusory Demon Realm, it can be considered one of the top talents!"

"No wonder he was able to kill so many worms and even capture and imprison one that I released in this realm!"

"But it ends here!"

"Although two hundred thousand meters is not his limit, it is also not this old ancestor's limit!"

"Today, let this old ancestor see how much ability you, a low-level world's spiritual cultivator, really have!"

With that in mind, the devouring spirit ancestor's incarnation actually exerted more force, continuously extending the length of the spiritual threads at a faster speed.

200,000 meters, 300,000 meters... 500,000 meters!

Very quickly!

When the spiritual threads of the Devouring Spirit Ancestor had reached their maximum extension, the crayfish that had never been explored to the bottom of the sea of consciousness was completely dumbfounded!

"How could this be?!"

"It's already 500,000 meters, why hasn't the main body detected the boundary of this sea of consciousness space?!"

"500,000 meters, even the main body has reached its limit of detection!"

"This human cultivator only has the cultivation realm of the Initial Stage of the Spirit Abyss, why can his sea of consciousness expand to such a terrifying extent?!"

At this moment, the spiritual avatars of the Devouring Spirit Ancestor were also completely confused and could no longer remain calm.

Their innate talent, which the Devouring Spirit Clan was most proficient in, had completely failed in this space of sea of consciousness!

If it weren't for experiencing it personally, who would believe, dare to believe?!

When did the spiritual cultivation in the human race become so abnormal?!

"This is really unbelievable!"

"Although the Demon Lord had reminded us earlier that although this realm is a lower realm, it had made quite a name for itself in various realms tens of thousands of years ago."

"In other words, their ancestors had also been broad-minded and glorious, and they should not be underestimated."

"But to be able to elevate their martial cultivation to the God-Connection Realm and their spiritual cultivation to the Spirit Abyss Realm at the beginning of the spiritual energy revival, is already quite unbelievable!"

"And now, even the sea of consciousness of the other party has expanded beyond the range of 500,000 meters, it's simply too powerful!"

"Could it be that this human in this realm is some kind of old immortal left behind tens of thousands of years ago?"

"If that's the case, it's not difficult to explain why he can subdue that God-Connection Realm spirit turtle and have such a vast sea of consciousness without boundaries!"

"Tsk! Fortunately, this is just one of my spiritual avatars. Even if it's in a desperate situation or an accident, it won't hurt my bones."

In the midst of shock, the spiritual avatar of the Devouring Spirit Ancestor quickly stabilized its mind.

Knowing that it was impossible to establish roots and escape was hopeless.

It simply retracted its spiritual threads and flew directly, quickly appearing in front of the confinement space where Yao Lingling was imprisoned.

"Ancestor, you finally came!"

"Please have mercy, Ancestor, and save your grandson from this sea of suffering!"

Inside the confinement space, Yao Lingling looked at the spiritual avatar of the ancestor, which was close at hand, and was so excited that tears were about to burst out!

While flapping the small wings that grew after its evolution into a king, it cried out for help to the ancestor.

Its eyes were filled with the longing of seeing a savior.

And the voice of grievance, which seemed to have suffered countless tortures.

It made the spiritual avatar of the Devouring Spirit Ancestor feel awkward.

The ancestor did want to save it, but the problem now is, I'm already struggling to survive, what can I use to save you, my grandson?

"You..."

The Devouring Spirit Ancestor slowly spoke, wanting to inquire about the specific information about the owner of this sea of consciousness from Yao Lingling inside.

Hoping that after this avatar fell, the main body could have some understanding and take precautions against this dangerous individual based on the memory fragments fed back by the avatar.

As a result, as soon as it uttered the first word, countless blades of will suddenly attacked it from all directions!

The will of the peak God-Connection Realm martial dao, mixed with a little bit of the power of the Yin-Yang Dao, completely disintegrated the spiritual avatar of the Devouring Spirit Ancestor in an instant!
