The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Chapter 1087: The Strength of Ancient Great Cultivators

Xiao Han's mind raced as she searched for a way to save herself.

But she discovered that, faced with absolute power, she was powerless to do anything except be careful with her words.

"Senior, judging from your words, you must be an ancient cultivator. When I was in the lower realm, I had the opportunity to encounter a time portal, which is a special existence that can teleport cultivators to all the heavens and myriad worlds, or even reverse time and space to return to the ancient world."

Xiao Han decided to chat with the other party to find out their true identity and current situation, and then see if she could find a way to survive, just like she had fooled Yun Que.

So she continued, "It's a pity that I was short-sighted. I only thought about returning to my hometown, the Spirit Realm, to see my relatives and friends. I didn't go into the Ancient Realm to witness the unparalleled glory of my predecessors."

She sighed with regret, "But two of my friends went to the Ancient Realm and came back telling me about some things that happened there. They made me very excited and I longed to go there. I also regretted not choosing to go to the Ancient Realm. I heard that it was the real era for cultivators."

Xiao Han dared not reveal Yun Que's story, fearing that the two had known each other in ancient times and were enemies.

Fortunately, she had heard some descriptions of the ancient times from Shui Wuhen and Yun Que, which she could use as a topic of conversation, so that this evil cultivator who was trapped here for some unknown reason could have something in common with her and they could chat.

Sure enough, the illusory man said with a proud tone, "Of course, in your current God Realm, not to mention the most powerful God Venerable, even the gods only retain about 20% or 30% of the strength of the top cultivators back then."

Xiao Han immediately chimed in, her eyes sparkling, and exclaimed in an exaggerated tone, "My God, what terrifying power that must be! Indeed, that era truly belonged to cultivators. I really want to witness the prowess of those top-tier cultivators in battle."

Perhaps because he had been lonely for too long, the man was willing to chat a bit more with Xiao Han, a low-level cultivator whom he considered nothing more than an ant.

The phantom figure waved its sleeves, and a curtain of light appeared in the cave.

The screen showed him fighting an old man dressed in a Taoist robe.

This battle was not a clash of laws, nor a bombardment of spells. It was a collision of the highest and most extreme powers, the clash of domains, cultivated to their highest level.

The so-called domain, the highest level of cultivation, is when a cultivator comprehends the laws of heaven to a certain degree, and creates the rules they want, or it is a manifestation of their Dao heart.

Within the domain and scope of this monk's influence, the rules he establishes are supreme.

Of course, this is the highest manifestation of domain capability.

In fact, the domain power that cultivators initially mastered was merely a preliminary manifestation of the rules of the Great Dao.

However, cultivators who have cultivated their own domains are far beyond the power of laws that Xiao Han and his group currently possess.

Simply put, cultivators like Xiao Han still rely on borrowing the power of the laws of heaven and earth in their combat techniques.

Those who possess a domain have already reached the point where they possess a portion of the power of laws.

Just like the battle between the man in black robes and the old Taoist priest, when the man in black robes unleashed his domain, everything within its coverage area could be silently reduced to dust under the power of violence and destruction.

The realm of the seasoned, on the other hand, is the opposite; it is the power of life, a world brimming with vitality. Any destructive force is submerged within it, and if it cannot be overwhelmed, it can only be dissolved.

At this moment, just watching the battle between the black-robed man and the Taoist elder in the void, Xiao Han felt his blood boiling and gained a more concrete understanding of the power of laws.

So this is the true strength of the ancient great cultivators.

Powerful forces, when in the hands of righteous people, become powerful protectors.

However, if such great power falls into the hands of someone with evil intentions, it will become a terrible calamity.

Although Shui Wuhen had been to the Ancient Realm through the Time-Space Gate and gained a lot of knowledge, he could only be classified as a low-level cultivator in the Ancient Realm. He had no opportunity to witness the battles of top-level cultivators, so he did not have a deep understanding of the power of domains.

But after he returned, he also explained to Xiao Han what a domain was.

Therefore, Xiao Han was thrilled when he saw the concrete manifestation and power of the domain.

"Senior, do you know whether all the current God-Emperors in the God Realm have cultivated the power of a domain?"

Although Xiao Han had met the Azure Sky God and the Azure Cloud God, these gods had never made a move against her, so she had no idea whether the gods had all cultivated their own domains.

The illusory figure chuckled, "Nowadays, even the most powerful gods or deities cannot cultivate a domain."

After all, he was the last to be suppressed. By then, the Heavenly Dao rules of each of the myriad realms had already been formed, and he knew very well the strength of the cultivators who had been given divine work by the Creator God.

There are many kinds of realms, and many rules and powers.

From the manifestation of the power of the five elements on a small scale, and the manifestation of various individual laws, to the top-level realms such as time, space, life and death, and cause and effect.

However, if the Heavenly Dao is incomplete, it is impossible to comprehend it, and it would be impossible for a powerful being like the man in black robes to appear again.

After all, the cultivators of the ancient realm shattered the entire Chaos Realm precisely because they possessed such immense power.

Therefore, in the myriad realms after the ancient realm, due to the limitations of the Heavenly Dao and the weakening of the power of laws, cultivators could not comprehend the top-level power of domain power.

This is why the man in black robes looks down on those gods and even deities.

Even Yu Li, who transformed from a great cultivator in the ancient world into a god, does not actually belong to the top cultivators. The reason they were chosen is not only because of their good character, but more importantly because even if these gods turn evil and fight, they can no longer easily shatter the realm.

As for the ancient realm after its collapse, those top cultivators who once possessed terrifying power, including the black-robed man in front of us, were all purged and punished one by one.

The black-robed man's phantom even kindly explained to Xiao Han why he couldn't cultivate a domain.

Xiao Han immediately felt very regretful.

Even if she can't cultivate it herself, it would be good to see other people's domain power.

Unfortunately, the realm will forever remain a legend.

Her eyes darted around, and she said again, "Senior, are you really unable to leave here? You possess the power of a domain, which is so rare."

The man in black robes finally decided to stop threatening her. His lifespan was running out, and if he gave up this opportunity, he might never have another chance to meet a suitable cultivator.

He said calmly, "My lifespan is almost over, and I won't live much longer even if I leave here. If you are willing to do something for me, you can leave here safely and also obtain a Chaos Treasure."
