Chapter 862: Guesses About The Ascension Platform
TL : BluVerse

Lan Xuanyu asked in his mind, “Little Trea, what do you think of this place?”

The voice of the Treasure Seeking Beast immediately sounded, “Little Trea is very surprised and puzzled! This place is a bit like the real world, but also different from the real world. Is it an independent space? The energy supporting this independent space is very strange. It doesnt seem to be energy from the Douluo Planet but from external sources. It’s very special, but the energy supporting this space is definitely god-rank. Everything here is condensed from that energy. It feels very familiar.”

Lan Xuanyu said, “Familiar? Then think about it carefully.”

Just then, he suddenly heard a cry of surprise from the Treasure Seeking Beast in his mind, “Ah! Could it be, could it be a fragment of the Divine Realm?”

“A fragment of the Divine Realm? What is that?” Lan Xuanyu asked in confusion.

The Treasure Seeking Beast said: “In the past, in the Divine Realm, humans and beasts fought, and the Divine Realm suffered an unprecedented disaster. During that process, the Divine Realm was shattered to a certain extent. In addition, when the Divine Realm disappeared, it seemed to have experienced some special circumstances. I could also feel at that time that the Divine Realm had been damaged. The energy here is very similar to that of the Divine Realm. Everything here is a bit like a simulation of the immortal energy. How should I put it”

After pausing for a moment, it said, “It’s a bit like the mirage that humans talk about. However, the mirage here is condensed from immortal energy. So it’s especially real. It’s somewhere between reality and illusion. But the immortal energy isn’t very strong, and this fragment is quite stable. However, everything formed carries a hint of the immortal energy’s aura, but it’s not real immortal energy.”

Lan Xuanyu was extremely intelligent. After hearing what the beast had said, he immediately understood something and asked further, “So what you’re saying is that this place is likely an independent space formed by a fragment of the Divine Realm. This fragment of the Divine Realm is like a mirror, which once reflected the Star Dou Forest on the Douluo Planet, imprinting its scenery here and creating a world that is almost real. This fragment was somehow found by the Ascension Platform, and some technological means were used to guide people’s consciousness into this independent space formed by the fragment. When the soul beasts created by this mirror are killed, they actually release some immortal spiritual energy, which can have a positive effect on our soul rings. That’s why the situation with the Ascension Platform occurs. The more powerful the soul beast, the more immortal spiritual energy it contains internally, so the benefits to soul masters are even greater. Am I understanding this correctly?”

“Wow, master, you are so right. That’s right, it should be like that. Your analysis is simply amazing.” The Treasure Seeking Beast agreed with a series of flattery.

Lan Xuanyu contemplated, “So, it turns out that the Ascension Platform was created like this. What about the Elementary and Intermediate Ascension Platforms? Are they also independent small spaces formed from fragments like this Advanced Ascension Platform? Or is it possible that there are many fragments, with the largest one forming the Advanced Ascension Platform, while the smaller fragments create the Elementary and Intermediate Ascension Platforms? How are these unique small spaces utilized in the Spirit Pagoda on other planets? Does the Spirit Pagoda have the capability to move these small spaces?”

“I have one more question. If it’s the Spirit Pagoda that’s able to do all this, wouldn’t the immortal spiritual energy contained in these Divine Realm fragments dissipate? As more and more soul masters absorb it, the energy would be lost, and wouldn’t this place cease to exist?”

“Master, slow down, you’re confusing me with all these questions,” the Treasure Seeking Beast said, a little dazed by Lan Xuanyu’s barrage of questions.

“Well, take your time and think about my questions,” Lan Xuanyu said calmly. If he could figure out the origins of the Spirit Ascension Platform, that would be the fundamental way to obtain the most tremendous benefits!

After some contemplation, the Treasure Seeking Beast said, “I think there must be many fragments. After the shattering of the Divine Realm, they were attracted to the Douluo Continent. As you said, the place where we are now is the largest fragment, while the others are small fragments that reflect the same thing, which is this big forest. The smaller fragments contain less energy, and the things they reflect can only be simulated within their own energy range. As for how they were moved away, I don’t understand that.”

As for your last question, I can answer that, said Lan Xuanyu. The immortal spiritual energy is different from the energy you are currently in contact with. Only true gods can absorb and expel immortal spiritual energy. However, immortal energy is cyclical and can be borrowed or self-restored. The immortal energy on these Divine Realm fragments is like being solidified and can absorb external energy to supplement itself while solidified. The energy absorbed cannot be converted into immortal spiritual energy, but it has some of the characteristics of immortal spiritual energy. Therefore, the true source of immortal spiritual energy has not been shaken. The existence of all the soul beasts here is actually the energy transformed and attracted by the immortal spiritual energy, with a bit of its aura, and not the true immortal spiritual energy. Nevertheless, it is already very beneficial for human soul masters.'”

Lan Xuanyu’s eyes flickered slightly, and he said, “So if we can find the source of the Ascension Platform, which is the Divine Realm fragment containing the immortal spiritual energy, can we directly absorb the immortal spiritual energy from it?”

The Treasure Seeking Beast exclaimed in surprise, “In theory, that’s possible! I can absorb it too! However, it has already been fused into this space, so it’s difficult to find. If this mirrored world is shattered, it may appear. It would have been easy for you in the past to do so, but now it’s very, very difficult. Unless you can restore yourself to the level of a god, or I can restore myself to the level of a god, it is possible to trigger the source of the fragments here.”

Lan Xuanyu smiled slightly and said, “Difficult doesn’t mean impossible, right? The fragment of the Advanced Ascension Platform is the largest and therefore the most stable. But we can try a lower-level Ascension Platform! Who knows, we might have a chance? And, since the foundation here is soul beasts, if we can kill a large number of them and absorb their energy, won’t this place become unstable?”

The Treasure Seeking Beast said, “I think we can try. I was just worried about how you would recover in the future, my lord. If we can absorb the energy of the shattered Divine Realm, the chance of recovery will be greatly increased! After all, that is a part of the Divine Realm. My lord, you are really amazing.”

Lan Xuanyu laughed and said, “I don’t think I can do it right now. Let’s wait until later. When I can no longer advance through normal means, we will really have to think of a way.”

Upon discovering the Ascension Platform, Lan Xuanyu was greatly moved. This was truly an opportunity! The immortal energy should be an existence that surpasses the god-rank aura of the Eternal Tree. He really did not know how the Spirit Pagoda was making use of these fragments.

If he could absorb the immortal energy from the Divine Realm fragments, the Ascension Platform would probably cease to exist. He wondered if the Spirit Pagoda would cry. Hehehe.

With this in mind, Lan Xuanyu suddenly stopped and looked around. He took a deep breath, then swung his right fist fiercely and struck a large tree beside him.

With a loud “boom”, the tree broke and slowly fell over. As it broke, Lan Xuanyu silently sensed the energy changes around him, especially on the tree.

Since this world was formed based on immortal energy, then Soul Beasts were energy and everything around them should also be formed of energy. Would destroying the tree cause energy to overflow?

The answer was negative. He didn’t feel any changes. The big tree was just like any other ordinary plant and didn’t provide him with any energy.
