Mythology Was Decaying
"The stove, let's not talk about it. There's no point in telling you." The White Peacock, over five meters long and as white as jade, shook its head.
It stopped at the very end, not continuing. The group of people were stunned, and then... they all wanted to punch it!
Unfortunately, it is the strongest demon in the Earth Immortal City, and its origins are unfathomable. Even if everyone joined forces, they would not be able to kill it.
It is said that even the ancestors of many monsters in the secret realm did not know the Roots of the White Peacock!
"I've already taken my pants off... no, I've even washed my ears clean, how can it stop?" Zhou Yun whispered to himself.
Zhong Qing, pure and beautiful, glared at him fiercely, making him shut up in embarrassment.
The people from the three Supernatural Planet were naturally unwilling to accept this and were eager to know the origin of the furnace and to learn about those top-tier mysterious artifacts.
"When the Transcendent Immortals depart and turn to dust, when the Master of Nurturing Life vanish and the earth immortals decay, what will remain to inspire us in this Human World? Only legends!" Old Chen said.
He glanced at the people around him, then faced the White Peacock directly and said, "Senior, in this era, those who come after can only look up at myths and reminisce about legends in order to strengthen their beliefs and have the courage to forge their own path. If even legends disappear and myths decay, when everything in the past becomes dust, what will be left on the path of cultivation? We cultivators, those who insist on following the Old Arts path, will lose the motivation and goals to catch up, and will doubt whether everything we pursue is an illusion."
"Well said, I... I'm all ears!" Zhou Yun shouted, loudly expressing his agreement.
Zheng Rui's gaze was deep and he remained silent, except for the slight trembling of the beaded bracelet on his wrist.
"Senior, there are no more Earth Immortals on our three Supernatural Planet, and there are even very few people in the early stage of the Carefree Journey Great Realm."
"The Mysterious Factor have dissipated, and only some remain in the Inner Scenery Treasure left by the predecessors, which are used by future generations to infuse necessary tools. What exactly happened in these years?"
"I've heard that the only advanced Supernatural Civilization in our universe is on the verge of extinction, with at most one or two Earth Immortals remaining. It's a truly tragic situation!"
The people of the three Supernatural Planet are deeply troubled. A mysterious artifact has triggered mythology, and they are also pondering the present and the future, all experiencing intense unease.
Wang Xuan was shocked. He heard something incredible: All Laws Decay, not only in the Old Earth and the New Star, but also in this universe.
In the vast starry sky and boundless heavens, there is only one advanced Supernatural Planet and three ordinary Supernatural Planet in this star system. Is that all?
He listened carefully and finally became convinced that it was indeed true; there were only four habitable planets in this strange universe!
Old Chen frowned as well, not expecting that his words would provoke unease among the cultivators of the three Supernatural Civilization: Yuhua, Euler, and Heluo.
After a moment of silence, the White Peacock sighed. Unexpectedly, instead of comforting the crowd, it shook its head, its words unusually heavy.
"In fact, myths are indeed decaying, and legends are fading away!"
These words resounded like thunder in everyone's ears.
People were stunned; it was actually undermining everyone's beliefs and seemed disheartened itself.
"Those who are high above will fall, those who are brilliant will dim. There is no such thing as transcendence. Everything in the world is just returning to its origin."
The White Peacock seemed wistful and melancholy, as if it had weathered many storms and endured numerous calamities.
This time, people weren't just stunned, they were horrified. What was this great demon of unknown origin saying? Was it denying the path to transcendence?
The White Peacock sighed, "You must adapt slowly. If you can maintain your current level of cultivation, you will become extraordinary figures in the future!"
The people on the three Supernatural Planet trembled; it was like listening to a bloody ghost story in the dead of night, and the storyteller was emphasizing that it was all true.
"Senior, how could you have such a despairing thought?" someone couldn't help but ask. This kind of idea was too discouraging for cultivators.
"Extraordinary beings are the real accident. The world was originally operating on a normal trajectory. An accident activated, attracted, and radiated out different Supernatural Practitioner, which led to the Transcendent Immortals. But once the trajectory returns to normal and the error is corrected, the waves that the accident hit in the sky will eventually fall."
The group of people were all unsettled. Even Wang Xuan and Old Chen felt the atmosphere was oppressive. Could what White Peacock said be believable? Could it be that the extraordinary was an accident and that this was the truth?
The White Peacock spoke calmly, saying, "Some people think it's better to keep it a secret and not tell the truth, but I think it's better to tell you in advance so that you won't be too afraid in the future."
"What about the Transcendent Immortals?" Wang Xuan asked.
"They will all fall, decay, and perish," the White Peacock said in a deep voice.
The crowd was shocked, then erupted into an uproar and heated discussion. In the end, many people broke out in a cold sweat. Did this mean that there would be no Supernatural Civilization in the future?
Wang Xuan was Major Earthquake; he never expected such a conclusion.
Looking at the White Peacock, he realized that its origins might be beyond everyone's imagination. How could an ordinary great demon know these things?
He also came into contact with the beings behind the Great Curtain; they just wanted to break free, and no one said anything about it.
As for the Ferryman, he is an Oath Keeper and it is impossible for him to leak the secret.
Someone exclaimed, "The Transcendent Immortals immortal and live forever, how could they die, decay, and fall to earth?"
The White Peacock remained calm and said, "In fact, their cave dwellings have already begun to fall from the void. Their magic has decayed and they have drifted into the mortal world, returning to the mundane."
Then, it revealed a terrifying truth that chilled everyone to the bone, leaving them feeling lost and unable to see a way forward.
"Some curtains have already been extinguished, some are in the process of being extinguished, and one after another, the immortal realms are dimming and perishing!"
This is quite shocking. The so-called "celestial realm" is decaying, declining, and collapsing. The Transcendent Immortals are heading towards extinction.
"Are there many more Immortal Realms?" Old Chen asked, taking advantage of the White Peacock's current strong desire to confide in him, hoping to uncover more secrets.
"The first curtain is a realm of immortals, each of which can be considered a celestial realm," the White Peacock nodded.
Wang Xuan and Old Chen remained relatively calm, having long since adapted to the era of advanced technology and civilization, while their Old Arts had been obsolete for countless years.
As for Zhong Qing, Zhou Yun, Zhong Cheng, and others, they were even more at ease. They lived on New Star and traveled by spaceship. In their view, this kind of technological civilization was normal.
After arriving in the secret land, their Mental World was impacted many times, and now they finally heard some news that conformed to the laws of natural development.
The people of the three Supernatural Planet felt that a corner of their worldview had collapsed. The beliefs they longed for and that had long existed in their hearts were shaken, and the ultimate goal of their spiritual dome was teetering on the brink of collapse!
The Transcendent Immortals will all perish, all decaying. What in this world can last forever? What is the point of their arduous cultivation?
"So, you should try your best to preserve your current level of cultivation. Preserve as much as you can. When a great upheaval comes, all the high and mighty Supernatural Practitioner will fall to the mortal realm!"
The White Peacock looked at the grand curtain on the altar, then at the End of the Sky, looking rather forlorn. This time, it didn't look at Zheng Rui or the beads on his wrist.
Everyone had mixed feelings, especially the people from Yu Hua, Euler, and He Luo Three Stars. These extraordinary individuals were heartbroken, as their path ahead was about to be cut off!
"This stove is called the Nurturing Life Furnace." Unexpectedly, the White Peacock brought up the stove at the end.
Everyone was taken aback. The previous treasure was named the Carefree Boat, but this furnace was actually named after the two words "nourishing life." Was this a coincidence? It corresponded to two of the Great Realm.
"As you might have guessed, it is a medicinal furnace. The most outstanding figures among the Transcendent Immortals have all fought to the point of madness for it, because it can truly sustain life."
The White Peacock revealed some shocking old stories, bloody and brutal: the third strongest among the Transcendent Immortals, an unparalleled figure, died because of this furnace.
That battle was incredibly brutal. It was a struggle for supremacy among the Transcendent Immortals, with multiple layers of magic intertwined. All the powerful true immortals went mad, bathed in Immortal Blood, and fought to the death for it.
"It can enhance the medicinal properties. Placing any herb in the furnace and nurturing it for a period of time can directly improve its quality," the White Peacock explained.
Given enough time, it can transform ordinary medicine into extraordinary medicine!
This sparked endless imagination. What if the celestial medicine were nurtured within it? Everyone was shocked and immediately realized that its value was astonishing. It could nurture a herb that even Transcendent Immortals trembled with fear. No wonder the Transcendent Immortals fought so fiercely for it!
Then, the White Peacock revealed an even more astonishing and wondrous aspect of this furnace, saying, "If the distance isn't too great, it can capture celestial medicines!"
This news was explosive. People from the three Supernatural Planet had all heard of the Heavenly Medicine. Although they had never seen or come into contact with it, they all knew that it was the Supreme Great Medicine from mythology!
Those who know about the Heavenly Herb are all astonished! The Heavenly Herb is difficult to harvest. The founders of various religions have said that even if one is lucky enough to see one in one's lifetime, there is a high probability that one will watch it go far away and disappear, and one will never be able to pick it.
This furnace can gather celestial herbs?!
"Perhaps it can be said that if it encounters a celestial herb, it can extract some of its concentrated medicinal properties!" the White Peacock said.
This mysterious artifact is not a weapon, but its effects and abilities have caught the attention of the most powerful figure among the Transcendent Immortals, which shows just how amazing it is in terms of nourishing life.
" In the Higher Mental World, the Heavenly Medicine will flee upon encountering a person, and it will be extinguished in a flash in the Peach Garden, but if one possesses this furnace..." The White Peacock did not finish his sentence.
What level of transformation can a complete medicinal herb undergo in this furnace?
"The reason I changed my mind and am explaining this furnace to you is because Transcendent Immortals will decay and the extraordinary will return to the mortal world. But these few treasures are special and may be able to retain some of their divine power. If you are fortunate enough to encounter them in the mortal world in the future, you might be able to use them to preserve some of your extraordinary power. Of course, the effect will most likely be greatly reduced."
"Senior, is this Nurturing Life Furnace in our universe, in the mortal realm, and not in the immortal realm behind the Great Curtain?" someone asked in a trembling voice.
The White Peacock nodded and said, "Back then, it must have been fought out of the Immortal Realm behind the behind the Great Curtain. The Transcendent Immortals couldn't chase after it, otherwise it wouldn't have been lost."
"Ah, it really is in the human world?!" Some people were shocked and their eyes revealed great hope.
"It should be in the real world, but most of what we see are imitations!" the White Peacock sighed, and told everyone that there should be a fake in the secret realm.
Wang Xuan was stunned, feeling extremely disappointed and lost. What he held in his hand was actually a replica of a medicine furnace.
"How do you distinguish between counterfeits and genuine products? What are the differences?" Old Chen asked.
"It's genuine. The inside is inscribed with dense astronomical text, which is not found on imitations," the White Peacock said.
