"Were the ones who ultimately established order Wuzhong, True Dragon, Ancestral Sacrificial Spirit, and others?" Su Yu asked.
The Lord of the Forbidden Zone paused for a moment, then shook his head, indicating that it was a period of laissez-faire governance, during which the Immortal King's Domain was peaceful and harmonious, while the outside world remained unchanged.
"Even Immortal King and powerful figures have disagreements and are hostile... This is one of the reasons for the failure of this realm—too many internal factions." As the starlight swirled, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone calmly stated.
In fact, he was not without emotion; he thought of his last disciple.
Looking at the two women struggling on the road to life and death, their bodies almost shattered, the deceased Great Power sighed in his heart, but quickly composed himself and regained his gentle and Ruyu demeanor.
An era of silence, an era of war, and now a new world unfolds. Who remains of those who came before? Only oneself. This is an indescribable feeling, a lingering obsession, with only the Lower Realm Sea remaining...
"This sword carries extraordinary karma: the tragic death of its Sword Lord and the impossibility of Lunhui. It has been passed down to this Lifetime, and who knows how it will change..." the white-robed man said, as the teacup in his hand emitted a fragrant aroma, the steam filling the air. A Golden Crow flapped its wings, its golden color and translucent, captivating all who beheld it.
But the sound seemed to carry the weight of eternity, like the clanging of swords, deafening and resounding, as if it would split the heavens, destroy the great Dao, and change the world!
Actually, the voice was very calm, but it sent Divine Capital down one's spine; the man's words were pointed.
" Lunhui? Is it reflected in me? I don't believe it!" Su Yu said quietly, holding his sword across his knees and looking at the mark on the sword embryo.
"After your fall, beings came from the Boundary Sea and killed an Immortal King of the Foreign Realm with terrifying methods, causing tremors in the Foreign Realm realm. Even some old guys couldn't sit still and came here to fight their way out," the white-robed man sighed softly.
Su Yu remained silent; he was very familiar with this part of ancient history.
The great battle at the end of the Immortal Ancient Era rarely had moments of vigorous progress, but the Great Red Heaven Ancient Pass was different. When all things were in decline, it fought with blood and spirit. In front, there were peerless figures with Chaotic Blood fighting to the death against the Immortal King of the Foreign Realm of the Foreign Realm. Later, the master of the sword embryo killed Immortal of the Foreign Realm and Quasi-Immortal King of the Foreign Realm one after another, and even dragged away the Ancient Ancestor of the Foreign Realm before his death.
History records it as "Two defeats of a famous king, shaking the world!"
Those writers Dao City fell; they only knew that an Immortal King of the Foreign Realm had fallen here, and that his story has been passed down to this day.
"Do you think I have anything to do with that person?" Su Yu asked.
" The Immortal Tribulation Sword Art was lost for many eons. In Immortal Ancient Moon King ventured deep into the uninhabited region and brought this item back, which is why the Light of the Immortal Tribulation shone forth for that instant..." The Lord of the Forbidden Zone looked at the Great Luo Sword Embryo with a strange light in his eyes. Then, he stared at Su Yu and said, "To be able to attract the creatures of the Boundary Sea to land, causing endless slaughter and forcing Kundi, Wu Shang, and others to join forces in exile—who else but that person could have such heavy karma?"
Mentioning this matter, even the master of the restricted area showed a serious expression as he discussed the past of Chitian with Su Yu.
Su Yu glanced sideways, quite surprised; he hadn't expected such a turn of events.
Suddenly, he remembered something: in the River of Time, his future self was fighting against a being in black, and when the battle reached its climax, All Laws Return to Nothingness.
Could it be that person?
"It seems your memory is incomplete. The Dao Fruit on your body doesn't seem to have been retrieved, but rather borrowed." The Lord of the Forbidden Zone smiled, speaking to himself, and then mentioned another being, saying, "That person's reputation was too great. When he rose to power, he slaughtered billions, wiping out all enemies. His 'Skinning Xuancao spread throughout the Immortal Domain, with countless craftsmen. Many powerful figures called him the Skinner, the Human Skin Craftsman."
The Ghost Immortal listening nearby wanted to speak several times, but she had many questions. The description of "skinning" was too unusual. Just what kind of powerful being was this?
This must contain a great terror!
Suddenly, fragments of memory resurfaced in her mind, and she remembered some past events.
"I recall a being who slaughtered all living beings and killed all the powerful beings of various races. He called all the dead creatures 'pigs.' Did such a person ever exist?" she asked.
"To be precise, he should be called the Butcher. He is a descendant of the Human Skin Craftsman, and his ancestor was a contemporary of the Skinner, a founder of the Immortal Domain system..." the Lord of the Forbidden Zone said.
Then he spoke of the skinner, mentioning that the Immortal Domain pioneers who created the Heavenly Court, only to meet tragic ends one after another, because they touched upon some unspeakable taboo.
"And then? He crossed the dike and sailed across the Boundary Sea?" Su Yu asked.
Do you remember the dikes and the Boundary Sea?
The man in white was somewhat surprised, but then he thought of the dark being from the Great Red Heaven at the end of the Immortal Ancient Era, and understood.
He looked down at the teacup, his voice filled with a sense of desolation, and said, "Since the Emperor's Fall, one era after another has passed. Whether it's the Immortal Domain, the Foreign Realm, or the Primordial Ancient Realm, they are all just ripples in the flow of time, differing only in the size of the splash. As for the rising beings, they are even more insignificant... Only that dike and the Boundary Sea have endured, continuing to this day..."
Then, he thought of himself and shook his head. A broken body, half a skull, what was left? Only an unwilling obsession, still lingering and wandering in this world.
"That one may have reached the end of the Boundary Sea, and many believe he is dead, but the truth is probably not so. Before you died, you performed a great sacrifice, summoning his Xuan Grass Puppet to annihilate the Foreign Realm army..."
" Xuan Grass Puppet?"
"Using the skin of Immortal King- level being as a base, filled with blood-soaked grass, and forging it into a human puppet... this technique is bizarre and terrifying." The Lord of the Forbidden Zone shook his head. He smiled, a slightly cold smile on his face.
When he was in good condition, he was Supreme Peak expert in the realm of Immortal King, but when this ancient person was mentioned, people would change color, because he was an unparalleled being, and some even speculated that he was an emperor.
"To leave a mark there..."
The Lord of the Forbidden Zone sighed inwardly and did not continue speaking.
The black-clad Ghost Immortal beside her listened intently, somewhat bewildered. All she knew was that the so-called dike and Boundary Sea were absolutely terrifying places.
Furthermore, she was also certain that her companion had an extraordinary background, and that her choice was correct.
Looking back at Star Lake, another Ghost Immortal was struggling in the water—the Black Peacock Immortal. She longed to come to this thatched hut, but she lacked the strength, for this lake was not only a test of the physical body, but also a trial of the primordial spirit, which only an extraordinary person could pass...
"After I died in battle, where did that coffin go?" After a moment's pause, Su Yu spoke, his eyes flashing with sword light, like a vast, terrifying ocean of light rising and falling.
This was his main purpose in coming here: to find the burial place of his former Daoist companion.
Before coming, he had high hopes because this Lord of the Forbidden Zone had trained nine disciples in the Immortal Ancient Era and knew many secrets. But now, his heart sank. If what the other party said was true, and the Great Red Heaven War had attracted Kundi and Wu Shang, his arrangements before his death might very well fail.
The giant is terrifying beyond comparison to a Chaos Dao True Immortal.
Or perhaps it's already invalidated; the biggest variable is that the coffin couldn't be found...
"The chaotic battle among the kings shattered the space between the two realms, and the Moon King's Coffin ended up inside. Many people coveted it, after all, it was the Burial Ground of the Immortal Tribulation Sword Art, which involved the inheritance of the founder of the Immortal Domain..." The Lord of the Forbidden Zone sighed.
"Is it in the hands of the Foreign Realm, or the Immortal Domain?" Su Yu asked.
The former shook his head.
Su Yu sighed, then solemnly stood up to express his gratitude. The other party was worthy of this bow for revealing so many ancient secrets.
"Don't rush to thank me."
The Lord of the Forbidden Zone smiled and said, "You came from Immortal Ancient, sowing seeds of karma; perhaps this Lifetime will bear fruit."
"At the edge of the Boundary Sea... when I transform into a king, I will travel there."
Su Yu remained calm. He knew that this was the other party's obsession, which had not dissipated to this day, so he readily agreed.
Upon seeing that the newcomer was connected to the Immortal Ancient karma, the master of the forbidden zone smiled, somewhat relieved.
Immortal Ancient, he had trained nine disciples, but none of them survived. This guest, who wasn't even a disciple, also perished in the Great Red Heaven, much to his regret. He never expected to meet him again in this Lifetime, and that the other party had actually survived, through an unusual form of Lunhui.
"There are two more people, no, it should be one person. She became your disciple back then, and I hope you can reproduce the cultivation techniques and secret arts you taught her so that she can return to her peak as soon as possible," Su Yu requested.
"Difficult." The Lord of the Forbidden Zone shook his head, naturally knowing who Su Yu was referring to. "You are a complete Lunhui, remembering the past, and can be said to be no different from that person before, but they are different... the lucky ones who fused with the fragments of the Immortal Soul."
Then, he looked at Yue Chan and Qingyi, and said with a complicated expression, "This can't be considered Lunhui. It's not the same person as before; it's just that a part of the immortal soul and immortal flame has been tainted and influenced by Azure Moon."
Even someone as powerful as him dared not speak lightly of Lunhui. Many so-called Lunhui in the Human World are similar to two women struggling along the path of life and death.
If we were to elaborate, the so-called Longevity Calamity would be most vividly illustrated.
When an ancient immortal dies, his lingering resentment remains, attaching itself to the bodies of outstanding individuals in later generations. Eventually, these people will gradually resemble the original owner of the Immortal Bone. Can this be considered Lunhui? It's nothing more than a clumsy fusion and devouring.
He did not approve of Yue Chan and Qingyi.
"If we imbue them with past memories, perhaps it will be that person..." Su Yu said, looking at the man in white.
"Alright then, if they can survive the Path of Life and Death, I can pass on the techniques and spells I gave to Azure Moon in the past to them," the host of this place said, his tone softening.
He only did that because of Su Yu.
"Thank you. I will bring back an outstanding disciple for you, senior." Su Yu nodded.
The Lord of the Forbidden Zone wasn't too concerned about this, as it had been empty for an entire era. Moreover... if the one before him could successfully overcome the Tribulation of the Rules of All Heavens, perhaps he could explore the end of the Boundary Sea.
After all, the other party is related to that person; at the very least, they are a blood descendant...
"Although you possess an immortal body, the battle against the Great Red Heaven exhausted your energy and caused you to lose too much. Although you now have immortal runes and Immortal Bone, you cannot be considered True Immortal body. Your defeat of the Immortal of the Foreign Realm from the Foreign Realm relied more on the sword in your hand. What you need to do now is to properly recuperate..." The Lord of the Forbidden Zone said a lot.
Su Yu nodded, understanding the other party's meaning. What they said was indeed true, but his situation was somewhat different.
Time waits for no one; I don't have that much time to wait...
"It seems you've already decided what to do," the man in white said, shaking his head with a hint of helplessness.
That person was the same way back then. I advised him to lie low, whether it was hiding in a forbidden area or entering the Immortal Domain, but he had to repay the karma of the World Tree, and in the end, he died a bloody death on the border of the Great Red Heaven.
Su Yu stood up and bowed, already indicating his intention to leave.
"If you need anything, come find me here." The white-robed man's voice became gentle and magnetic once again.
Su Yu bowed and bid him farewell. The black-clad female immortal stood up even more cautiously and stood beside her companion, bowing slightly.
When she looked up, she was stunned, utterly incredulous. All around, there was no sign of the thatched huts or vegetation; the landscape was desolate. The so-called Cosmic Lake was gone, and the distant medicinal fields had dried up.
Before my eyes, only half of a snow-white skull remained, along with two smaller, dull, and damaged skulls behind the snow-white skull.
" The Lord of the Forbidden Zone, and his pair of Daoist disciples..." The female immortal felt her voice trembling.
Such a forbidden figure, who transformed the universe into a lake, and whose servants were all True Immortal, perished, leaving only a few withered bones, fading away with the passage of time, existing coldly and desolately, a truly tragic end.
All of this,
Like a fleeting dream, I've finally woken up!
On the other side, the black peacock's feathers were ruffled, and the woman it transformed into fell into this demonic land, her long legs trembling.
She stared in horror at everything, her beautiful face as white as snow. Just moments ago she had been struggling in the cosmic lake, but now she was left in this desolate state.
"Was it a dream?" The female fairy seemed somewhat lost and sighed softly.
"Perhaps there will be a day when I return in the future," Su Yu said calmly. With a flick of his sleeve, he captured the panicked black peacock, pressed down with a finger to force it to reveal its true form, and then lightly leaped onto its back.
"They're gone."
With the female immortal slightly lifted, Su Yu clamped his legs together and urged the black peacock to cross the river.
As for Yue Chan and Qingyi, he didn't concern himself with them. With the Azure Moon Flame and the blessing of his own Chaotic Blood, they had already gone through multiple back channels. If they still couldn't pass through even with all that, they wouldn't be worthy of immortal Xian Dao powers...
Chapter 806 Paying Homage
The immortal rode away on his bird, while two mortals were lost in an illusion. The dilapidated ancient forbidden zone fell silent, occasionally disturbed by a cold wind that stirred up pebbles, making a mournful sound in the ruins.
Time is the inn of all things. Seasons change, stars shift, and the world rises and falls; in the end, only embers remain...
"This Lord of the Forbidden Zone must have been Supreme Peak figure in life... but now he has turned into bones, lying scattered in the wilderness."
The vast ocean floats, emanating a pale golden starlight. Smoke and clouds rise, Xian Dao peacock traverses the cosmic sea. A woman in black has long eyelashes and an inscrutable expression on her face. She looks back at the Yin-Yang Crossroads, feeling utterly desolate.
She thought of herself.
If cause and effect change, and this immortal body has flaws, it will most likely not be able to withstand the sucking of the Ancient Chaos Mosquito. In that case, her fate will be no different from her opponent's, with only a snow-white skeleton to prove her existence.
Su Yu remained silent, merely stroking the sword embryo, his mind still immersed in the great secrets of the past.
