Ancient Truth, Whereabouts of the Demon Race

Upon hearing Lu Qing say that he had finished comprehending the [Frost Ice True Record], Han Lingbai was immediately stunned, filled with shock.

It hasn't been long since she took the inheritance jade book.

Only a quarter of an hour or two passed, and Lu Qing claimed to have finished comprehending the [Frost Ice True Record].

You must know, this is Primordial Spirit level cultivation technique that can directly lead to the Nascent Soul Realm! Even the inheritance of Primordial Spirit level cultivation technique can be comprehended so quickly.

At this moment, Han Lingbai truly understood why Lu Qing had been able to cultivate to such a profound and unfathomable level so soon after the world had been revived.

This person's comprehension and cultivation aptitude are simply too extraordinary!

"Palace Master, the legacy of your Cold Water Palace has given me a lot of inspiration. Here is a cultivation technique that should be of some use to you as well. Please take it."

At this moment, Lu Qing took out a Inheritance Jade Slip and handed it over.

"Your Esteemed One, your kindness to our Cold Water Palace is already great enough. How could I possibly accept such a generous gift?"

Han Lingbai was taken aback, but shook her head and refused.

"I don't like taking advantage of others," Lu Qing said calmly. "Although I saved your Cold Water Palace once, the meal and the Fire Spirit Pearl as compensation are enough."

"You don't need to take this Nascent Soul Realm Cultivation Method from me anymore; you can keep it."

Han Lingbai sensed the persistence in Lu Qing's words. She hesitated for a moment, but finally accepted the Inheritance Jade Slip.

Upon seeing this, Lu Qing smiled slightly, "Palace Master, the cultivation technique in the jade slip is a Water Attribute- based technique, but it can only be cultivated up to the Golden Core Completion realm."

Its origin is not simple; it is one of the core inheritances of a powerful immortal sect in a certain Great World.

The various explanations regarding the Golden Core Realm contained therein should be quite beneficial to your future cultivation.

Indeed, the cultivation technique that Lu Qing gave him was one of the techniques he had seized from the Gray Robe Man and his fellow Senior Brother.

Aside from its lower cultivation ceiling compared to the [Frost Ice True Record], its exquisite techniques surpass those of the latter.

"Somewhere in Great World..."

Han Lingbai was puzzled at first, but then she seemed to remember something, and her face showed shock.

"Your Esteemed One, it is rumored that the two mysterious experts who suddenly appeared in Central Province were Extraterrestrial Visitors. Could it be..."

"Indeed, they come from beyond the heavens; they are cultivators from other worlds."

And that world is far more powerful than the world we live in now.

But don't worry, that world is also incredibly far away from us.

Those two only came to our world by chance.

Lu Qing nodded, indicating that he did not mind revealing this information to Han Lingbai.

"So there really are other worlds," Han Lingbai murmured. "Doesn't that mean that our ancestors weren't without hope when they left this world?"

Lu Qing's heart stirred. He remembered what "Yan" had once said about the end of the last Cultivation Era.

He asked, "Palace Master, does your Cold Water Palace have any records of what exactly happened at the end of the last Cultivation Era? Where did those top immortal sects go in the end? And how were your Four Great Secret Realms preserved?"

Han Lingbai was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Lu Qing to suddenly ask this.

She thought for a moment and said, "Our ancestors did have some records about some things at the end of the last Cultivation Era."

Lu Qing's expression shifted, and "Yan" in the Li Fire Cauldron became even more alert, showing a listening expression.

At the end of the Cultivation Era, the Li Fire Sect and its long-standing rival sects clashed in battle, provoked by other forces.

They even escalated to a point of True Fire, fighting to the death.

In the end, the entire Li Fire Sect was destroyed, and the rival sects were also severely weakened and nearly collapsed.

Only the Young Sect Master, under the desperate protection of several Elder, managed to break through the encirclement with the severely damaged Li Fire Cauldron and escape, hiding in a secret stronghold of the Li Fire Sect.

However, the Young Sect Master eventually succumbed to his injuries and perished in that secret stronghold.

"Yan" himself almost lost his True Spirit and had to fall into a deep sleep.

This meant it was unaware of how the final situation of the cultivation world developed in the previous Cultivation Era.

And what became of the opposing forces that destroyed the Li Fire Sect?

"According to the records passed down from my ancestors in the Cold Water Palace, the end of the last Cultivation Era was extremely chaotic."

Many Immortal Dao sects have launched a great war against each other in order to compete for the chance to board the World-Breaking Boat.

Many sects perished as a result.

"A spot on the World-Breaking Boat?" Lu Qing keenly grasped this phrase.

"That's right." Han Lingbai nodded. "At the end of the last Cultivation Era, in order to avoid the Five Signs of Decay, many Nascent Soul Great Power in the cultivation world discussed and came up with a solution."

That is to gather the resources of the entire cultivation world and forge a super Spirit Artifact flying boat that can break through the Boundary Wall and traverse the Starry Sky.

With the combined efforts of numerous powerful figures and various Immortal Dao sects, the World-Breaking Boat was successfully forged.

But then another problem arises.

Who is qualified to board the World-Breaking Boat?

"Although the World-Breaking Boat is an extremely large Spirit Artifact, its space is still limited, and it cannot take all cultivators out of this world."

Therefore, the spot to enter the Breakthrough Week becomes extremely precious.

No one would willingly give up such an opportunity, after all, it represents hope for survival.

Thus, with tacit understanding and the tacit approval of a group of Nascent Soul Great Power, many Immortal Dao sects began a great war.

Only the victorious sect is qualified to board the World-Breaking Boat.

In any case, according to the records of my Cold Water Palace, the final great battle in the cultivation world was extremely fierce.

Nearly half of the Immortal Dao sects were destroyed as a result.

The victor of the great battle will board the boundary-breaking flying ship and ultimately depart, breaking through the boundary.

"As for our Four Great Secret Realms, our ancestors believed that everything in the vast Starry Sky was unknown, and they did not know if they could find a way out."

Therefore, some disciples with shallow cultivation were ultimately selected, and a place to stay was provided by using Spirit Artifact to stabilize the Secret Realm.

Even if they ultimately fail, they will have at least left behind a legacy for this world.

After listening to Han Lingbai's account, Lu Qing finally understood what had happened at the end of the previous Cultivation Era.

And the reasons for the disappearance of many Immortal Dao sects.

It turned out that they had left this world aboard Spirit Artifact flying boat.

In this way, some of the doubts in his mind were resolved.

And Yan, Li Fire Cauldron, suddenly realized the truth.

No wonder the conflict between the Li Fire Sect and that rival sect suddenly escalated.

Clearly, those Nascent Soul Great Power behind the scenes had planned this all along.

They wanted to eliminate some of the sects first so they could gather materials to forge flying boats.

As for why the Li Fire Sect was chosen, it could guess the reason.

It was probably because the Li Fire Sect was relatively wealthy, but at that time there was no Nascent Soul Great Power stage to oversee it.

"Young master, ask her if the Yin Heaven Sect ever boarded the World-Breaking Boat in the end?"

"Yan" suddenly spoke.

Lu Qing was slightly taken aback, then realized that this Yin Heaven Sect must be the sect that fought against the Li Fire Sect back then.

When Han Lingbai heard Lu Qing's question, she thought for a moment and then shook her head, "According to the records of my Cold Water Palace, the Yin Heaven Sect was not among the sects that boarded the World-Breaking Boat and left at the end."

Upon hearing this, Yan fell silent.

In fact, it had already anticipated this after hearing Han Lingbai's description.

When the Li Fire Sect and the Yin Heaven Sect fought, the Li Fire Sect was no match for them and was eventually destroyed.

However, the Yin Heaven Sect also suffered greatly. Most of its powerful members were killed or injured, and its sect's Spirit Artifact was also severely damaged by the impact.

Under such circumstances, they would absolutely not survive the final sect war.

It's normal that it ultimately failed.

However, even though he knew that the Yin Heaven Sect ultimately did not fare well, Yan was not particularly happy.

Because it knew that the Li Fire Sect and the Yin Heaven Sect were probably just pawns in the schemes of those Nascent Soul Great Power behind the scenes.

Lu Qing sensed Yan's silence and could probably understand its feelings.

However, he didn't say anything, but instead asked Han Lingbai.

"What about the Talisman Gate? Has this sect boarded the World-Breaking Boat?"

And what happened to the Monster Race and the Sea Race in the end?

Han Lingbai gave Lu Qing a strange look.

She found that the Esteemed One was indeed quite strange.

Despite knowing very little about the Ancient Cultivation Era, he seemed to know quite a bit about certain sects and could accurately name them.

However, despite feeling puzzled, she didn't show it, but thought about it for a moment.

He said, "The Talisman Gate is naturally on the World-Breaking Boat. According to records, this sect is extremely powerful."

Although the number of disciples within the sect is relatively small compared to other sects.

But each of his disciples was a prodigy, exceptionally powerful.

In particular, it was rumored that there were two Nascent Soul Realm experts in the Talisman Gate at that time.

Such a powerful sect is naturally qualified to board the World-Breaking Boat.

Even according to our ancestors' records, the Talisman Gate didn't participate in the sect war at the time; they directly qualified to board the ship.

"As for the Monster Race and the Sea Race, both of these races are very mysterious."

Rumors circulated that as Great Calamity was about to befall them, the leaders of the Monster Race, along with many Great Demon, vanished overnight.

The Sea Race reside in the deep sea, which is beyond the comprehension of Human Race cultivators.

Therefore, no one knows what became of them in the end.

Did the Monster Race eventually disappear?

Upon hearing this, Lu Qing secretly made a mental note of it.

The reason he asked about this was naturally because of Xiao Li.

According to Yan, Xiao Li's parents are likely high-ranking members of the Monster Race race.

If the Monster Race, like the high- Human Race cultivators, ultimately chose to leave this realm.

Then Xiao Li's parents may not have really perished.

"Your Esteemed One, you just said that there really are other worlds beyond the heavens?"

At this moment, Han Lingbai asked.

"Nature is real; not only do other worlds exist, but they are also vast and boundless."

However, those worlds are all very far away from our world.

Even Nascent Soul Great Power, without the aid of magical artifacts and relying solely on their own cultivation, would likely take hundreds of years to reach the next world.

Lu Qing replied.

His words were not made up.

After killing the Gray Robe Man, he obtained a star map from his Storage Bag.

From that star map, he learned that the world he was in was located in a remote and dark border region.

Even within the star map, this area is not recorded.

The distance to the nearest world, to that vast Starry Sky, is beyond description with data.

Not to mention that they also had to cross many unknown, dark, and void areas in between.

This is probably why those Nascent Soul Great Power in the previous Cultivation Era sought to forge the World-Breaking Boat.

Without the guidance of a star map, even Nascent Soul Great Power would be powerless and filled with despair in the face of that vast darkness of the Starry Sky.

"Even Nascent Soul Great Power needs hundreds of years to travel?"

Han Lingbai was stunned when she heard this.

She is currently only at the Foundation Establishment Realm, and it is still unknown whether she will be able to break through to the Golden Core Realm in the future.

Therefore, she simply could not imagine how far away that distance was.

At the same time, she finally understood why her ancestors had gone and never returned.

Such a long distance meant that even if our ancestors eventually found a place to settle down...

I doubt anyone would be willing to spend so much time crossing the vast Starry Sky to come back.

"Well, so you don't need to worry about any problems with comprehending and practicing the technique I gave you."

The sect to which that cultivation technique belongs is in an incredibly distant Great World, and it's almost impossible for them to ever come to our world again.

From the markings on the star map he obtained, Lu Qing knew...

The two men in Gray Robe Man, Senior Brother, came here in the first place.

It was due to a stroke of luck, and also the miraculous power of the Void Flying Boat.

Their sect is located in a Great World called "Tian Yuan".

That world is extremely far away from here.

Just the Spirit Stone required to get here via the teleportation array are a considerable sum.

Let alone whether the Gray Robe Man's sect could deduce the location of their demise.

Even if it could be deduced, Lu Qing didn't believe that the other party would expend so many resources to go to an unknown place for two Golden Core Realm disciples.

"Ling Shuang will keep in mind His Esteemed One's teachings."

When Han Lingbai saw Lu Qing mention the cultivation technique in the Inheritance Jade Slip she held again, she immediately realized the importance of this technique.

She instinctively tightened her grip and solemnly replied.

Seeing his serious demeanor, Lu Qing finally smiled.

The reason he gave Han Lingbai this opportunity was because he greatly admired this woman.

Especially considering that she had willingly accepted Li Changbo's challenge for the sake of the people of Cold Water City, Lu Qing took a second look at her.

Perhaps in the eyes of many people, that is a very foolish act.

Even Lu Qing himself couldn't bring himself to sacrifice himself for others.

But this did not prevent him from admiring such character.

Therefore, he was willing to give away a profound Golden Core Realm inheritance to help Han Lingbai break through to the next level.

Lu Qing gained a lot from this trip to the Cold Water Palace.

However, it's time to leave.

Immediately, he said to Han Lingbai, "Palace Master, now that things are settled here, I should take my leave."
