The Most Prestigious Battle in History
"A clay pot?"
Upon hearing his third senior sister call out to him, Lu Yang interrupted the Immortal Fairy's explanation.
Unlike the ancient and rough pottery paintings that Lu Yang remembered, which required conjecture to understand the content on the pottery, this pottery painting in the High Antiquity Qiongqi burial objects was exceptionally exquisite.
The world in the painting underwent a dramatic change, as if the end of the world had arrived. All living beings were like ants. Even through the pottery jar, Lu Yang could feel the terrifying sense of despair. There was no room for resistance in the face of such power. The High Antiquity Qiongqi spread its wings and desperately protected its race.
The painting is intended to depict the great achievements of the High Antiquity Qiongqi, who protected the Qiongqi tribe during a great catastrophe.
However, Lu Yang's focus was not on the High Antiquity Qiongqi, but on the background of the painting.
This apocalyptic catastrophe originated from the four figures in the background.
Four figures blurred, their every move revealing their immense power.
"These four figures should be the Four Immortals of High Antiquity," the Third Senior Sister said with certainty.
The only beings capable of compelling the High Antiquity Qiongqi to spread its wings and protect its kind are the High Antiquity Four Immortals.
"That should be the case." Lu Yang nodded, his expression slightly solemn, having roughly guessed the content depicted in the painting.
"But the question is, what kind of enemy could possibly be so formidable that the Four Immortals of High Antiquity had to join forces against it?"
The third senior sister was extremely puzzled. Judging from their positions, the four High Antiquity immortals were standing in a row, indicating they were from the same camp.
What High Antiquity enemy could have forced these four legendary, invincible beings to join forces?
The third senior sister searched through all the ancient books but couldn't find a corresponding enemy.
Lu Yang remained silent. Of course, there was something there: a mysterious being capable of assassinating the Immortal Fairy and enraging the Four High Antiquity Immortals.
This painting depicts the Four Immortals of High Antiquity facing off against the immortal who attempted to assassinate the Immortal Fairy. Unlike the usual battles between the Five Immortals of High Antiquity, the Immortal Fairy and her companions' battles were aimed at exchanging cultivation insights, learning from each other, identifying and addressing shortcomings, and improving together; they would not use lethal force.
This time is different. The four High Antiquity immortals are fighting against a mysterious immortal. The five immortals are fighting fiercely without holding back. There is probably no battle in history that can compare to this scale!
This is the strongest battle ever!
An epic battle!
Even a demigod isn't qualified to interfere in this battle!
But these things cannot be told to the Third Senior Sister. The Eldest Senior Sister instructed that the identity and purpose of the mastermind behind the scenes are unknown, and the existence of the Immortal Fairy must not be revealed.
Perhaps the mastermind behind this will kill everyone who knows of the Immortal Fairy's existence after discovering her resurrection.
Lu Yang shook his head, indicating that he also did not know who the Four Immortals of High Antiquity's opponents were.
Just as the third senior sister was feeling disappointed, Lu Yang pointed out another detail in the picture.
"Third Senior Sister, look, there are other planets in the background of this picture, and these planets have a halo around them, which should be a protective shield."
The four High Antiquity immortals did not lose their minds in anger; in addition to their battle, they also spared time to protect these planets.
Without this layer of protection, I fear that most of the living beings in the entire universe would have perished.
"It really is true." The third senior sister was extremely surprised. This was a major discovery. In current historical records, there is only a record of the Nine Immortals saving people with the Breath of Earth. There is no record of the other three immortals saving people. This has led to a long-standing dispute among historians about the personalities of the other three immortals.
Now one thing is clear: the Four Immortals of High Antiquity did not view all living beings as ants.
The planet protected by the Four Immortals of High Antiquity was not actually discovered by Lu Yang. He had never seen the Four Immortals of High Antiquity take action and did not know what the halo around the planet was. It was the Immortal Fairy who recognized it.
In his mental space, Lu Yang frowned, confirming that the Four Immortals of High Antiquity were indeed the Nameless High Antiquity Ones. However, the fact that the Four Immortals of High Antiquity had used methods to protect the stars during their battle contradicted the historical records he knew.
Historical records state that High Antiquity, nameless person refined stars into continents, resulting in countless deaths and injuries, causing a break in history and the loss of even High Antiquity languages. The Great Gan Dynasty was established amidst the ruins, ushering in the era of human dynasties.
If these stars were refined by the Four Immortals of High Antiquity, how could they have disregarded their own lives and caused a historical break in the process?
"Could it be that something else happened after the stars were refined into continents, causing a break in the historical sequence?"
Lu Yang suddenly remembered that there was also a Dynasty of unknown origin!
The Fire Dynasty was discovered in the Immortal Realm. According to the dating, it dates back to High Antiquity times. Strangely, there are no records of the Fire Dynasty at all, not even its name has been mentioned!
What exactly happened in the Dynasty of Fire?
"Old Lu, what's painted on this pottery jar? Come and take a look." Meng Jingzhou called out to Lu Yang, thinking it would be a waste not to use such a living fossil.
The pottery jar that Meng Jingzhou mentioned is on the other side of the main tomb, and it depicts a dragon and tiger fighting.
A Qiongqi and a true dragon were engaged in a fierce battle when a radiant figure descended from the sky, stopping the fight between these two peerless demon emperors.
Before Lu Yang could answer, he began to listen to his third senior sister, who was well-versed in history, explain.
"This is a very famous legend in Buddhism, which you should all have heard. The Qiongqi clan and the dragon clan are natural enemies, and their conflict is irreconcilable. Once, the Qiongqi and the true dragon fought a great battle, flooding the eight wastelands and causing chaos in the world. Fortunately, the Buddha of Buddhism intervened and subdued the Qiongqi and the true dragon, bringing peace to the world. This is also the origin of the saying in Buddhism that the Buddha has the ability to 'subdue dragons and tigers'."
"According to my research, this battle was most likely High Antiquity Qiongqi and the Dragon Ancestor vying for the position of immortals, which was interrupted by someone."
"Actually, I find it puzzling that this painting is placed here. It is clearly a scene of subduing dragons and tigers, which is an insult to the reputation of the Qiongqi tribe. How could it be placed here as a burial object?"
At this moment, Lu Yang was listening to the immortal fairy's words.
"Old Qiongqi has a young daughter who is beautiful and talented, and she is just as good as her father. Many people pursue her, but she doesn't like any of them. She only likes Qilin Xian, and Qilin Xian happens to like her too. The two fell in love. Later, when the Dragon Clan's prodigy found out about this, she was so angry that she went to confront Little Qiongqi. Little Qiongqi then got into a fight with the Dragon Clan's prodigy."
"But how could Little Qiongqi be a match for the Dragon Clan's prodigy? He couldn't win. At this time, Qilin Immortal came over to take sides and managed to calm the two down after much persuasion. I heard that after returning home, Qilin Immortal knelt in the sword formation every day."
"Later, a few of us thought about it and decided to incorporate this story into a Buddhist tale."
Lu Yang: "..."
What should I do? Should I tell my third senior sister about how Qilin Xian's affair with his mistress was discovered by his wife?
If the Qilin Immortal found out, would I still be able to leave this grave alive?
"But speaking of which, why is only Old Qiongqi buried here? Where is his daughter? Given Old Qiongqi's favoritism, she should be buried with him."
The Immortal Fairy was puzzled. She remembered that Little Qiongqi was only at the peak of the Tribulation Transcendence stage, not even a Half-Immortal. He should have died before Old Qiongqi.
The second update will be at 11 PM.
