Chapter 21

Lu Shaoyou looked at the pink, adorable little pig with a face full of disbelief, his brain momentarily short-circuited. This was the legendary divine pig from earlier? The corners of Lu Shaoyou's eyes twitched as he looked at the cute little pig, whose plump little body trembled. Anyone who saw this scene would absolutely be unable to associate a world-renowned antique with this little pig.

"Um, um... Are you the Divine Pig, sir...?" Lu Shaoyou opened his eyes wide, staring at the pink little pig, unsure.

"Oh, you little brat, you're not completely stupid, at least you have some redeeming qualities. Hey! Brat, what's that look on your face!?" The cute little pig spoke with an old, dignified tone, but when he saw Lu Shaoyou's incredulous expression, he roared again, "Brat, what? Have you never seen a pig as handsome as me!?"

Lu Shaoyou nodded subconsciously, feeling somewhat numb at this point. This pig's thick skin had reached a divine level.

Inside the stone pillar cluster.

"Ha, I told you, I, the Divine Pig, am definitely the handsomest pig in the world!" The pink little pig said, closing his eyes in extreme self-love, completely immersed in his own world.

After a while, the pink little pig started to shake his head and wag his ears, which looked like two small fans. His two beady eyes turned cunningly on his plump face, clearly up to no good. Lu Shaoyou felt a chill down his spine, sensing the pink divine pig's ill intentions, and involuntarily took a small step back.

The Divine Pig, seeing Lu Shaoyou's action, sneered disdainfully, looking extremely ridiculous, even showing his cute little teeth. Lu Shaoyou, seeing the Divine Pig's expression, felt a bit awkward, but as a human soul, he had always been thick-skinned. In this life, his thick-skinned cultivation had deepened even further. After a moment of awkwardness, he quickly concealed it and stood outside the stone pillar cluster, bowing and saying, "I don't know what could have troubled you, sir, to send your voice to me, a junior?"

"Hey, brat, haven't you figured it out yet? I, the Divine Pig, asked you to come in because I want you to save me quickly. Can't you see I'm trapped by these damn stone pillars? You're so stupid, you can't even compare to my wisdom!" The Divine Pig rolled his eyes in exasperation and grunted.

Lu Shaoyou immediately felt he had been tricked by this hateful pig, his face turning red like a pig liver, but he still managed a forced smile, "Sir, I think you must have the wrong person. You should continue resting here. I, a junior, am too weak to help you. I'll be on my way."

Ha, if even you, an old monster, can't escape, how could I possibly do it! Lu Shaoyou muttered to himself, and without looking back, he ran away as fast as he could. The Divine Pig's beady eyes showed a hint of mockery, but he made no move, just watching Lu Shaoyou run away.

Lu Shaoyou ran forward frantically, feeling the wind slicing past his ears like knives, causing a faint pain.

"Phew—Phew—" After about half an hour, Lu Shaoyou finally stopped. "This damn pig, to trick me into coming here, that's just too despicable. Luckily I escaped, sigh, it's a good thing I was always on guard, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what...?" Just as Lu Shaoyou was cursing the Divine Pig, a familiar voice echoed in his ears, making his face change dramatically.

"How is this possible!—" Lu Shaoyou looked up, shocked. When he saw the surroundings, his heart sank even deeper. How could I be so unlucky? Lu Shaoyou couldn't believe that after running frantically for half an hour, he was still in the same place! The Divine Pig was still lazily lying in the stone pillar cluster, idly scratching itself.

Lu Shaoyou's mouth twitched with bitterness, never imagining he had been outsmarted by a pig!

The Divine Pig waved its little paw, its eyes forming a crescent moon, showing its cute teeth, and said to Lu Shaoyou, "Long time no see, brat—"

Seeing the pig gloating, Lu Shaoyou's anger flared up. It's all this damn pig's fault! It has put me in such a dire situation! Looking at the pig's comical actions, Lu Shaoyou was so angry he wanted to give the pig ten slaps, but he knew it was impossible. He was no match for the pig. Lu Shaoyou's eyes flashed with a calculating light. Since the pig wanted him to come and save it, it must have a way out!

Without further ado, he said to the Divine Pig, "Dead pig, do you know a way to get me out?"

The Divine Pig, who had been watching the show, suddenly became agitated when Lu Shaoyou called him a dead pig. His ears flapped, and he stood up on all fours, roaring at Lu Shaoyou, "I'm the Divine Pig!!! I, the Divine Pig, am not a dead pig!"

Lu Shaoyou rolled his eyes. You're trapped here, what kind of Divine Pig are you? You're just a dead pig! But he didn't dare say it out loud, just sneering at the Divine Pig, "You—? Trapped here for hundreds of thousands of years, even your strongest cultivation must have been eroded, right? I bet you can't even use a fraction of your power."

Lu Shaoyou was taking a gamble! He didn't know the Divine Pig's current cultivation, but time could erode everything. He believed the pig must not have the same earth-shattering power it once had.

Hearing this, the Divine Pig immediately wilted, looking dejected, but he didn't deny it, just grunted in acknowledgment.

Seeing this, Lu Shaoyou knew he had a chance and said to the Divine Pig, "Divine Pig, let's make a deal. I'll save you, but you have to get me out. What do you say?"

The Divine Pig snorted, "Brat, you're really clever, trying to use me. Even if my cultivation has declined, it's because the elemental energy here is too scarce and too low-grade to help me recover. Besides, even at my lowest, I'm still far stronger than your so-called grandmasters of the Mystic Realm! I'm now on par with a Nirvana Realm ancient giant! So, you must agree to one condition, or I won't do it!"

Lu Shaoyou's eyes lit up, "What condition? Tell me, and if I can, I'll agree."

"When I get out, you must provide me with a large amount of elemental energy to help me recover! Before that, I'll stay by your side!" The Divine Pig's expression became unusually serious.

"Deal!" Lu Shaoyou agreed readily. Elemental energy? The Yanwu Clan has plenty. I won't worry about it. Staying by my side? That's like having a bodyguard! I need a powerful bodyguard like you! "By the way, what did you mean by the Nirvana Realm ancient giant? What kind of realm is that?"

The Divine Pig immediately showed a look of disdain, making Lu Shaoyou feel awkward, but he still asked, hardening his resolve. The Divine Pig rolled his eyes and said, "You don't know? But then again, your cultivation is pitifully low. I'll introduce the cultivation system to you. Listen carefully!"

The Divine Pig shook his head and said solemnly, "The so-called Nirvana Realm is a higher level than the Mystic Realm. You should know that cultivators build the foundation of the Great Dao! To achieve the Great Dao, you must lay a good foundation, which is extremely important. The foundation has nine levels. Once a cultivator reaches the peak of the foundation, they will attempt to break through to the Transcendent Realm. The Transcendent Realm, as the name suggests, means transcending the mundane and achieving the Daoic Body! To achieve the Daoic Body, heaven will send down a thunderstorm. The Transcendent Realm also has nine levels, each stronger than the last, with a vast difference in power. When cultivators pass the Transcendent thunderstorm and reach the peak of the Transcendent Realm, they face the Mystic Realm. This realm is vastly different from the previous ones and requires enlightenment! If you achieve enlightenment, the Mystic Realm will naturally be attained. Otherwise, you will be stuck here for life! Once you enter the Mystic Realm, you can practice mystic arts! There are three thousand mystic arts, corresponding to the three thousand Great Dao! Each mystic art, when mastered, represents an aspect of the Dao! For example, I practice the Vacuum Collapse Fist, which, when mastered, becomes the Great Vacuum Art! It can shatter the void and traverse space! The Mystic Realm has nine levels, and reaching the ninth level means you are at the threshold of Nirvana, the realm of ancient giants! Your lifespan will break the thousand-year barrier, and you will truly live for ten thousand years!"

The more the Divine Pig spoke, the louder his voice became, finally roaring, "Once you reach the realm of ancient giants, you can travel between worlds, wandering through countless worlds! Of course, ancient giants are not the pinnacle. Above them are the world-dominating figures, the supreme beings! These are the true rulers of their domains, the most powerful and fortunate beings! The realm of supreme beings is called the Demigod Realm! They are close to being gods! To show respect, they are called demigods! In the Demigod Realm, they begin to form their own domains, where they are gods! At that level, a single gesture can cause continents to sink and stars to fall, truly a demigod's wrath, and the world bleeds!"

Hearing all these realms, Lu Shaoyou's face showed shock, and he was speechless for a moment!

Twelve levels of Qi Practice, nine levels of Foundation Building, nine levels of Transcendent, nine levels of Mystic, nine levels of Nirvana, and nine levels of Demigod!

Seeing Lu Shaoyou's admiring expression, the Divine Pig sneered, "What, shocked? Heh, I'll tell you, even if you reach the Demigod Realm, there's still a higher level! That level is the true realm of power! In my time, the Demigod Realm was just a high level, but not the peak of the Honghuang Continent! The true realm of power is the Immortal Secret Realm! That is true immortality, where you can live for millions of years without natural disasters or human calamities!"

Lu Shaoyou couldn't help but draw a sharp breath. Millions of years! What does that mean!? The history of human development on Earth was only five thousand years!

"The Immortal Secret Realm is also known as the current great power!" The Divine Pig snorted, "At this level, their every word and action embodies the Dao! They are the golden words and jade laws! Their words are law! Their inner domains can evolve further! So, you are still far from that level! Don't think you're powerful just because you can bully people at the ninth level of Qi Practice. You're just an ant!"

"The current great power!" Lu Shaoyou exclaimed, "Yinming Venerable!"
