Chapter 902: The Forty-Sixth Day
Wu Zhao brought Gu Heng to the Buddhist temple and chose a place for him to rest.
"Brother Gu, if there is anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me, and I will answer you to the best of my ability!"
Seeing his enthusiasm, Gu Heng was also touched.
"Alright, thank you very much, Hall Master Wu."
While I can't say I completely trust them yet, it's time to settle down for a while and start making long-term plans.
……
It was the forty-sixth day since Gu Heng arrived at the Epoch Cemetery.
He had already secured a place among the "gravekeepers" and was officially accepted as a member of this group of "outcasts." After Wu Zhao's thorough explanation and his own visits to other safe "outposts," Gu Heng spent nearly a month discovering that the number of gravekeepers was actually not large, barely three or four hundred at most, but the number was not important.
Quality is the most important thing!
Although there are only a few thousand people, every single one of them is a strong individual!
According to Wu Zhao himself, before being sent to the Epoch Cemetery, his strength was at the peak of the Nirvana Realm, and he had already achieved the title of "the only one in all realms"!
True.
Gu Heng did not understand what "the only one among all realms" meant. He only remembered seeing similar content in the "Epoch Immortal Scripture," and "Nirvana Realm" was the last realm recorded in the Epoch Immortal Scripture.
Therefore, according to his understanding.
Wu Zhao should be considered to have reached the end of his cultivation. At least for a cultivation technique, Wu Zhao is definitely at the end! As for those things like the World Realm, Creation Realm, Nirvana Realm, etc., Gu Heng doesn't know much, and it's not easy to ask. The environment of the Epoch Graveyard is very special. Everyone's detection methods have failed, and it is also difficult to judge the strength of others.
This is a good thing for Gu Heng.
After all, although he has cultivation, he is probably the weakest one in this Epoch Graveyard.
Wu Zhao spoke very kindly, saying that they were "in the same boat" here, but Gu Heng was not so blind as to believe others so easily. Moreover, in such a difficult place to survive, the strong prey on the weak, and he could not reveal his true intentions.
The entire "Tomb Keeper" faction has a total of nineteen hall masters, each of whom is in charge of a safe stronghold with relatively light conceptual erosion, and each of them is at the peak of the Nirvana Realm.
Above the head of the hall, there are seven deputy tomb masters.
Wu Zhao only said that the strength of the seven deputy tomb masters was "conceptual realm" above the Nirvana realm. Such strength was enough to make them a highly respected and extremely high-ranking giant in civilizations above the phenomenal world!
The conceptual realm is also a realm that is not recorded in the "Epoch Immortal Scripture".
It is said that cultivators at the Conceptual Realm can see a "Conceptual True Source" within their own bodies, which is the key to the highest realm!
Based on the state of the origin of the concept, it is further divided into three levels: Origin, All Wonders, and Immortality.
When immortality is achieved, the concept will be completely fulfilled!
Concepts are the supreme power that only the gods of the era can wield with ease and use with profound intent. When a cultivator's concept is perfected, he will have the capital to wield the great power of the gods!
...Gu Heng heard all of this from Wu Zhao.
However, all of this was too far removed from him and Wu Zhao. The giants who had reached the conceptual realm in the phenomenal world were all old monsters who had lived for several eras, and an era was a full 720,000 years!
Gu Heng had no idea what this age meant. To live for 720,000 years multiplied by ten would be no different from being a god.
Gu Heng also asked.
Beyond the realm of concepts, are there still realms of existence?
But Wu Zhao's answer was, "Above all concepts, there are only gods," and gods are something that no living being can surpass!
Even if such knowledge exists, it is considered taboo knowledge, and probably only those at the conceptual level are qualified to know even a tiny fraction of it.
The secondary tomb owners who are the "tomb keepers" are the "origin" level in the conceptual realm.
No one knows why they, so powerful as they are, were exiled to this epochal graveyard. They all have some unknown pasts and have not fully opened their hearts to each other.
Above the secondary tomb owner...
There is also a mysterious tomb owner.
No one knows how the "gravekeepers" came to be, nor whether the tomb owner is still alive, nor what their strength is... In short, it's all a mystery.
"...It's a truly magical place, and there's a whole bunch of amazing people there."
Gu Heng sat on a prayer mat in the Buddhist temple, carefully analyzing his current situation.
First of all.
Joining an organization is better than being a lone wolf out there. Although the Gravediggers may seem like a loose group sticking together for warmth, they can still look out for each other.
At least for now.
Gu Heng wanted to find a way to leave.
The Epochal Cemetery is vast, with many areas worth exploring, but danger lurks everywhere. The corpses of those fallen gods retain a great deal of conceptual power...
Gu Heng often stayed here without feeling anything, but he heard that outside, the concept erosion was particularly difficult to deal with, equivalent to a slow-acting poison! But even staying in a safe base was not a guarantee of safety.
This place is only "subtle to the point of being imperceptible" from conceptual erosion; it is not entirely unaffected. If left for a long enough period, it will also die.
The entire organization of the gravediggers has been basically replaced from top to bottom. Firstly, the "prisoners" who have been exiled here have never stopped, and secondly, the erosion of concepts will eventually kill people.
The tomb keepers have been around for a long time, but there are still countless places in this place where no one has ever set foot. Who knows, there might be an exit leading to the outside world in some of these places!
Gu Heng decided to begin the exploration!
The Epoch Cemetery is more like a place where opportunities and dangers coexist—opportunities outweigh dangers. It's not that no one has had a miraculous encounter here, and even if they become stronger, they may not be able to leave, but at least they can live longer.
So nobody wants to sit here doing nothing.
Waiting idly is no different from waiting to die.
Now, he no longer has time to slack off. In order to escape this "prison" as soon as possible, he now has to make the most of every minute.
"system?"
Gu Heng started the daily routine of calling the system.
Still no response.
"..."
Hearing footsteps outside, Gu Heng looked up.
Watching Yue Ru silently walk into the Buddhist temple, and then rest on her own prayer mat.
Her gray robe was even more tattered than it had been a month ago, but she didn't seem to care about the glimpses of fair skin peeking out from beneath it, letting Gu Heng look at her as he pleased.
"Miss Yue Ru, it's been a month. How has your exploration outside gone?"
Gu Heng took the initiative to start a conversation.
This month, Ru's origins are also mysterious. Wu Zhao knows little about her, only that she comes from the Immortal Dao civilization.
She was also very young, less than a tenth of an era in age. Logically speaking, such a person would be a rare genius in the immortal civilization, but it is unknown why she has ended up here.
At the Epoch Cemetery, everyone has a remarkable origin story.
