Azure Void Annals, Gone Never to Return

Chen Nianzhi looked at the forging methods of the two immortal swords, her heart trembled slightly.

Both the Thousand Demons Slaying Devil Sword and the Hundred Spirits Slaying Immortal Sword are immortal swords with astonishing potential; theoretically, their potential is limitless.

The two immortal swords forged by that former sword master were unparalleled in the world, their power being rare even among Pure Yang Supreme Treasure.

"These two swords."

After some deliberation, Chen Nianzhi finally put the two scrolls of teachings away.

Both the Thousand Demons Slaying Devil Sword and the Hundred Spirits Slaying Immortal Sword are feared by the world; one is hated by Devil Cultivator, and the other is feared by Human Race.

If it's only refined to the Tier 4, that's fine. But if you want to refine it into Demon-Refining Supreme Treasure, there will probably be quite a bit of trouble.

Demons and monsters feared the divine power of this sword and were unwilling to see such a pair of Demon-Refining Immortal Sword appear in the world.

However, although the methods of forging these two swords are unorthodox, they are extremely powerful Demon-Refining Immortal Sword, and their destructive power will be astonishing when used to deal with demons and Demon Race.

Why think so much?

Chen Nianzhi shook her head and chuckled. The Demon-Refining Immortal Sword is something you can do without, but you can't be without.

He and demons are mortal enemies, so why should he care about their opinions? If he has the fortuitous opportunity to forge a celestial sword in the future, what is there to hesitate about?

According to the notes of the Azure Void Sect, the East Sea Human Race had more than one family forging these immortal swords in order to resist evil spirits. There was even someone who forged the Thousand Demons Slaying Devil Sword into Tier 5 Demon-Refining Immortal Sword.

After putting away these ancient books, Chen Nianzhi took stock of them and discovered a Azure Void Annals.

He glanced at it briefly, then immediately became engrossed in this historical record.

Upon opening the first page, the first line of text visible is:

The Dao Calendar is 13,400 years old.

The founder of the Azure Void Sect, Qingxu Zi, followed Emperor Jiang from the Central Ancestral Domain.

After 196 battles, we reclaimed the Eastern Wilderness, and our army reached the Eastern Sea Cultivation World, recovering vast territories for our Human Race...

"13,400 years of Dao Calendar?"

Chen Nianzhi's eyes narrowed slightly, and she frowned.

It is now the 19,323rd year of the Dao Calendar, which means that the Azure Void Sect came more than 6,000 years ago by following Emperor Jiang.

Moreover, the use of the word "recapture" here carries a very meaningful connotation.

This means that the Eastern Wilderness was once the homeland of the Human Race, but for some unknown reason it fell into enemy hands and was not recovered until six thousand years ago.

The meaning behind this is terrifying. Long ago, in the Eastern Wilderness, there once existed a prosperous Human Race cultivation Immortal Realm. Then, after a war, the cultivation Immortal Realm of the Eastern Region was destroyed.

What kind of war could have destroyed the ancient cultivation Immortal Realm of the Eastern Wilderness?

The numerous demonic forbidden zones that now Eastern Wilderness —were they suddenly created, or were they fortified by demons time and again over a long period of time, six thousand years ago?

Chen Nianzhi's eyes darkened as she continued reading:

In the 13,600th year of the Dao Calendar, the patriarch established the Daoist lineage on Eastern Sea Star Abyss Island and founded the Azure Void Sect.

For a thousand years, the entire Azure Void Sect followed Emperor Jiang and drove the evil spirits out of the Purple Yin Realm.

Thus, the Purple Yin Cultivation World has reclaimed its homeland for the seventh time...

Chen Nianzhi trembled inwardly. If this was the seventh time their homeland had been reclaimed, could it be concluded that the cultivation Immortal Realm of the Eastern Wilderness had been destroyed seven times?

Furthermore, according to the knowledge he received since childhood, the Purple Yin Realm has a history of at least several million years, so why is the Dao Calendar only less than 20,000 years old?

What was the Purple Yin Cultivation World like 20,000 years ago?

These things are not recorded in the historical records of the Azure Void Sect; only a few words are written about them:

In the 15,900th year of the Dao Calendar, Emperor Jiang transcended tribulation and became an immortal, Demon Abyss alone with his sword to settle his karmic Karmic Retribution in the mortal world.

This journey is one of no return...

A thousand years later, the Patriarch and dozens of other True Lord Dao Lord departed together.

Still, no reply.

In the 17,000th year of the Dao Calendar, the Abyssal Demon Calamity struck again, severely damaging the Eastern Sea Cultivation World, and the second-generation patriarch died in battle.

In the 18,000th year of the Dao Calendar, three generations of sect leaders fought against three Devil Lord, but died from exhaustion...

Chen Nianzhi watched quietly, her heart sinking deeper into despair.

There are no records of the Dao Calendar reaching 19,000 years ago, because the Azure Void Sect was destroyed in that war 300 years ago.

The Azure Void Sect was full of heroes who had been on the front lines fighting against evil, yet Lin Daoyang died in an assassination attempt. What an injustice!

"..."

For the first time in her life, Chen Nianzhi felt such an indescribable sense of suffocation.

In the 20,000 years of recorded history, the Eastern Wilderness has been destroyed seven times, and the Human Race has become food for demons.

This immense terror shocked his mind; the entire cultivation Immortal Realm had been destroyed more than once, and this terror made it almost impossible for him to breathe.

Even after Emperor Jiang became an immortal, he was unable to quell the great calamity, and the darkness behind it chilled him to the bone.

He never lived in a world without war; it turned out that someone was holding up the sky for him.

Smoke and miasma covered everything in the sky, fire raged between heaven and earth, and molten lava lay naked between mountains and rivers.

Chen Nianzhi closed the ancient book, raised her head and looked up at the world. She felt that this infernal world shrouded in the Infernal Flame Sea was like a microcosm of this vast world.

At this moment, he finally understood why Jiang Linglong had told him that knowing too much would affect his Dao heart.

"Demon..."

He stood silently in this hellish world, dressed in a robe as white as snow.

He stood there silently, watching everything unfold, for a very long time.

"..."

Spiritual practice is a tedious and lengthy process.

Chen Nianzhi sat cross-legged in the infernal sea of fire, opened the furnace and refined several batches of Spirit-Nourishing Pill, and then began to meditate on Fallen Sun Ridge.

When he recovered his Primordial Spirit, he studied the ancient texts and deduced the Five Elements Cultivation Method.

In the third year, he deduced a water-attribute Cultivation Method, which he named the ' Heavenly River Ren Water Scripture '.

The Heavenly River Ren Water Scripture can not only be cultivated to the Ninth Purple Mansion Layer, but the Law Power cultivated from it is extremely pure and enduring, and its restorative power far surpasses that of the Sunfire Scripture and the Earth Sovereign Scripture.

Six years later, he went a step further and created a metal-based Cultivation Method, which Chen Nianzhi named the ' Western Extremity White Emperor Scripture '.

Nine years later, Chen Nianzhi deduced the last Five Elements Cultivation Method, which was Wood Attribute Cultivation Method.

This method has only ordinary combat power, but it can increase a cultivator's lifespan by sixty years.

Even more astonishingly, Chen Nianzhi learned from the strengths and overcame the weaknesses of the longevity Cultivation Method, so that practicing it would not affect her chances of breaking through to the Golden Core realm stage.

Generally speaking, Cultivation Method that can prolong life without hindering breakthroughs are considered top-tier among Golden Core realm Cultivation Method.

Based on this alone, this method is enough to be considered among the top of the Purple Mansion Cultivation Method, so he simply named this scripture the Azure Emperor Longevity Scripture.

After completing the deduction of the Five Cultivation Method, Chen Nianzhi originally wanted to continue to integrate the Five Cultivation Method, but considering that integrating the Cultivation Method would probably not be something that could be accomplished in a day, and that he needed to return to the Chu Kingdom as soon as possible, he gave up the idea.

Time flies, and in the twelfth year of his secluded cultivation of spirit, his Divine Sense awareness finally reached the threshold of the Golden Core realm stage.
