An obvious truth.

It's not that you're strong, which means you have high talent. After all, there are differences between martial cultivators, including differences in martial cultivation age and resources.

"So, if you want to ascend to the Great Luo Heaven, it doesn't mean you can do so just because your strength reaches a certain level. On the contrary, if your talent is monstrous enough, even if you're just a martial cultivator in the Fixed Character Eternal Domain, there's a possibility for ascension." Sword Lifeless continued.

What? Even martial cultivators in the Fixed Character Eternal Domain have the qualification to ascend?!!! The answer Sword Lifeless gave was truly shocking.

One must know, within the War Ancient Sky, there are quite a few martial cultivators above the Fixed Character Eternal Domain.

Sword Lifeless continued, "Of course, if you wish to ascend to the Great Luo Heaven with just the realm of Fixed Character Eternal Domain, then your talent must be such that you achieved this realm in merely a hundred years or even just a few decades to be considered talented."

What?!

In the previous second, the hearts of billions of martial cultivators on the martial training field were boiling; the next moment, they were splashed with a metaphorical bucket of cold water.

To cultivate to the Fixed Character Eternal Domain in just a few decades, at most a hundred years? That counts as having talent... This... this is not a joke, right?!

The requirements are insane, aren't they? In the entire War Ancient Sky, there aren't many who can achieve it!

"Of course, even if you actually managed to cultivate to the Fixed Character Eternal Domain in merely decades, the fact is, no one has truly ascended to the Great Luo Heaven because the Great Luo Heaven is very dangerous. In the Great Luo Heaven, the Eternal Ancient Realm of Integration is mainstream, and there are many powerful beings beyond the Eternal Ancient Realm. A martial cultivator in the Fixed Character Eternal Domain, even if talented, couldn't survive for long after ascending to the Great Luo Heaven." Sword Lifeless' voice grew solemn, "Nie Gu, I have high hopes for you. In the future, you definitely can ascend to the Great Luo Heaven. There's no rush now; what you need to do is to refine your cultivation, continue working hard, and early breakthrough into the Eternal Ancient Realm of Integration."

"Understood, elder." Sword Lifeless nodded heavily, but Sword Lifeless still had questions: "Elder, according to your explanation, talent is the sole criterion for ascending to the Great Luo Heaven. Specifically, how does one ascend? Does it require breaking through the heavens? If it truly requires breaking through this heaven, even with sufficient talent, a martial cultivator in the Fixed Character Eternal Domain's strength couldn't possibly reach the level to break through this heaven."

"You're quite intelligent. Just as you thought. Since talent decides the qualification for ascension rather than strength, the method of ascension from the War Ancient Sky to the Great Luo Heaven surely isn't by breaking through this heaven on one's own. In truth, the so-called ascension is when the Ascenders from Great Luo Heaven come to take you there." Sword Lifeless revealed a significant piece of information.

Suddenly, silence fell across the martial training field.

So that's how it is!!!

That means everything happening in the War Ancient Sky, especially the performances of some geniuses, has always been under the gaze of Ascenders from the Great Luo Heaven. Once the time is ripe, they appear and will take you to the Great Luo Heaven?

"Elder, is there an Ascender from Great Luo Heaven coming to take you to the Great Luo Heaven?" Nie Gu's eyes shone brightly as he raised his head, staring undaunted at Sword Lifeless.

This question was one of collective curiosity. In that moment, countless intense gazes focused on Sword Lifeless, with excitement reaching a peak, eagerly awaiting Sword Lifeless' response.

"Yes. It happened forty thousand years ago. An Ascender from Great Luo Heaven appeared before me with the intention to take me to ascend." Sword Lifeless gave a definitive answer.

This answer incited an uncontrollable wave of excitement among many martial cultivators on the training field.

"Then why, elder, do you still remain in the War Ancient Sky?" Nie Gu asked curiously.

"Because, forty thousand years ago, I declined. I felt my strength at that time was insufficient to establish myself in the Great Luo Heaven." Sword Lifeless said softly, "And throughout these forty thousand years, more than ten Ascenders from Great Luo Heaven have appeared before me, all of whom I've declined, until the recent appearance of this Ascender, who I couldn't refuse. After officiating your marriage, I will ascend."

Upon saying this, Sword Lifeless' previously calm emotions, and his indifferent gaze exclusive to swords, suddenly sparked brightly for an instant!!!

He stared at Nie Gu, his eyes clearly flickered with a hint of curiosity, though he quickly masked it.

"Elder, you seem to have something you wish to know. Why not express it, elder," Nie Gu insightfully captured the subtle emotional fluctuations of Sword Lifeless.

"I have a lighter." Sword Lifeless fixed his gaze on Nie Gu, speaking with intensity: "Given to me recently by an Ascender from Great Luo Heaven appearing before me."

Gulp.

Gulp.

Gulp.

......

In the martial training field, too many martial cultivators couldn't help but swallow their saliva. Even Ascenders send gifts to Sword Lifeless; Sword Lifeless is truly formidable!

With such qualification, within the entire War Ancient Sky, only Sword Lifeless possesses it, right?

Sword Lifeless continued, "This lighter is the Eternal Flame Lighter. It never extinguishes. It can be used to test the power of the sword."

Sword Lifeless being a Sword Cultivator naturally places great importance and focus on the power of his sword.

And this Eternal Flame Lighter is extraordinarily useful to Sword Lifeless, constantly allowing him to evaluate if his sword's power has increased.

"Test? A treasure that can test the sword? Elder, your meaning is..." Nie Gu's breathing subtlety changed, noticeably, he was excited as well as expectant.

"I mean, you can test it. Would you like to?" Sword Lifeless said calmly. He genuinely favored Nie Gu; previously, he saw Nie Gu's move against Xuu Tianhe at the city gate.

Very strong!!!

At least when he was of the same age, Sword Lifeless couldn't compare to Nie Gu.

Sword Lifeless had been almost undefeated in the War Ancient Sky tens of thousands of years ago.

He would appear and disappear without a trace.

Drifting through the War Ancient Sky, constantly comprehending the universe, refining his sword path in plain life and the worldly dust.

He had encountered numerous young martial cultivators of the War Ancient Sky, including those touted as monsters, geniuses, including successors of top power factions, but none caught his eye.

Until he saw Nie Gu in action this time.

Though it was just one sword move.

It deeply resonated with him.

Even though Sword Lifeless wouldn't take Nie Gu as a disciple, he looked at Nie Gu from a different perspective, curious about what color Nie Gu's sword could cut out in the Eternal Flame Lighter?

This is an older generation's strongest player having curiosity and anticipation for the next generation's strongest.

His previous hesitation arose from fearing Nie Gu couldn't excel in cutting results and the tens of billions of martial cultivators present would witness it, impacting his state of mind.

However, after dialoguing with Nie Gu, he found Nie Gu's state of mind was exceptionally good, unusually determined, stable, and held ample yearning and ambition for greater strength and a mightier Martial Cultivation World.

It indeed seemed appropriate to test.

It probably wouldn't affect Nie Gu's state of mind.

The next moment.

Sword Lifeless' hand held a lighter.

A lighter, one foot long, two fingers wide, entirely purple copper color.

On the lighter are slightly sharp grooves, as if carved by many sharp instruments.

Then, under all the fervent gazes.

Sword Lifeless opened the lighter.

A flame suddenly emerged to the sight of everyone.

The flame was small, just a small wisp, thumb-sized, milky white, with a somewhat monstrous aura, burning silently in the air.

Clearly visible was how the surrounding void and real space inexplicably vanished, yet it managed to burn in vacuum.

Woosh.

Once opened, the lighter casually lifted into suspension in the air, resembling the world's most dazzling point of light, illuminating a realm.

Then.

Sword Lifeless casually raised his hand, his finger pointed, an electric silver Sword Light emerged, akin to a silver needle, gliding unexpectedly.

With precision, it landed upon the flame of the lighter.
