Chapter 1243 Four Eras–Xuanyuan at the End of the Immortal Era
Cold wind whispers, heaven and earth weep.
Silly Dragon’s body trembled uncontrollably.
Recalling the scene when he first met Lin Feng at Kunlun, that strong-willed man…
Everything seemed like it happened just yesterday, yet also felt like tens of thousands of years ago!
His heart was about to break!
“Respected elders, is Lin… is Lin Feng really dead?”
Silly Dragon asked.
“With the nine dragon earth energy returning, Mr. Lin should be dead…”
A guardian spoke,
His voice deep and desolate.
He recognized Silly Dragon, knowing the relationship between this young man in red and Lin Feng. How painful must it be for a former brother to come searching?
“What do you mean ‘should be’? How could he possibly die!”
Silly Dragon roared hysterically, tears silently sliding down his face. Before his eyes, everything turned gray, not a trace of color remained.
Everyone silently watched Silly Dragon, at a loss for words.
After a brief pause,
The group of powerful beings from across the nine heavens and ten earths finally departed, a magnificent army marching toward the Void Realm. Various terrifying figures connected with the horizon line, eventually disappearing into the vast sky.
Meanwhile,
In a misty space.
A young man dressed in white clothes lay quietly on the sandy ground.
The young man’s eyes were tightly closed, his features as if carved by knife and axe, with distinct angles yet carrying a hint of gentleness and paleness. He was handsome, yet weathered, with an unresolvable melancholy between his brows.
Beside the young man,
Was an elderly man with white hair,
The old man wore tattered clothes, his body emanating a strong aura of death. He now stared at the young man with cloudy eyes, lost in thought, his mind elsewhere.
Just like this,
Time passed, and suddenly the young man’s right hand moved slightly, then his eyes slowly opened.
“Am I dead?”
Lin Feng’s eyes were vacant, his lips dry, his voice hoarse.
He remembered rushing into the Thunder Cloud Divine Palace earlier, seeing the blood-covered Emperor Xuanyuan confronting that immortal.
He wanted to help, but after a blinding white light, his consciousness was stripped away, his soul seemed to leave his body and dissipate, and he knew nothing more!
In his mind,
He should be dead!
But at this moment,
Lin Feng saw Emperor Xuanyuan sitting cross-legged beside him. The Emperor’s once towering figure was now hunched, his piercing gaze now cloudy and dim.
“Senior, are you dead too? Where is this place? Is this where souls go after death?”
Lin Feng asked with a trembling voice.
He struggled to sit up, feeling completely weak, as if all his strength had been drained, utterly exhausted!
“We are not dead. This is a hidden realm left by the Human Emperor, you could call it the Human Emperor’s domain.”
Emperor Xuanyuan shook his head in response.
Lin Feng’s expression froze, then as if remembering something, he excitedly asked:
“Does that mean we won? We defeated that immortal?”
Hearing this, Emperor Xuanyuan gave Lin Feng a strange look: “You don’t remember what happened?”
“Before? What happened?”
Lin Feng was confused.
Emperor Xuanyuan fell silent.
Scenes from the Divine Palace flashed through his mind.
At that time,
He was fighting the immortal with all his might, and just when he was about to collapse, Lin Feng suddenly rushed in. Then a burst of seven-colored light erupted, the palace shook, immortal power surged, and that blinding light enveloped everything, making nothing visible, not even his divine sense could detect anything!
And when the light dispersed.
Everything returned to calm,
That immortal and the palace had disappeared, leaving only the unconscious Lin Feng.
At that time, Lin Feng was in extremely poor condition, his life in danger. He used his last bit of strength to bring him to the Human Emperor’s domain. The spiritual essence left here by the Human Emperor could heal Lin Feng’s injuries.
“What exactly happened then?”
Lin Feng supported himself with his arms, staring directly at Emperor Xuanyuan.
After pondering for a moment, Emperor Xuanyuan told him everything.
Lin Feng’s body trembled upon hearing this.
So the seven-colored little figure had saved him again?
That time, the seven-colored figure had frightened away the strange creature, and this time, it had driven away the immortal from the Divine Palace!
What exactly was this seven-colored figure?
It seemed like a companion born with him, yet mysteriously terrifying, even its host knew little about it.
“I finally understand why the Human Emperor, before leaving, told me to pay special attention to you…”
“It seems this era truly has variables! A person like you has appeared!”
Emperor Xuanyuan sighed softly.
Lin Feng had countless questions in his mind.
From what he could tell,
Emperor Xuanyuan clearly knew about the existence of immortals long ago, and the reason he remained hidden was to stop that immortal at the critical moment.
Considering this,
Emperor Xuanyuan’s battle prowess was terrifyingly powerful!
“I know you want to know the secrets of the past. Since that’s the case, I’ll tell you everything.”
Emperor Xuanyuan sighed and murmured:
“Strictly speaking, our world has four time periods: the distant Immortal Dao Era, then the Ancient Era, the Early Ancient Era, and now the Post-Modern Era.”
“I was born at the end of the Immortal Dao Era. It was a brilliant age when the great Dao was flawless, and the human world was filled with immortal energy. Many cultivators condensed immortal bodies and immortal souls, and there were even many who condensed both immortal bodies and immortal souls!”
“How is that possible? Wouldn’t condensing both an immortal body and immortal soul make one an immortal?”
Lin Feng asked in shock.
“You’re mistaken! Condensing both an immortal body and soul at most makes one an immortal of this world. To become a true immortal, one lacks the most important element!”
“What element?”
“Immortal spirit!!”
Emperor Xuanyuan’s expression became extremely desolate as he continued:
“I didn’t become an immortal, neither did the Human Emperor, because we lacked immortal spirit. And our world could never produce immortal spirit—it exists only in the immortal realm! So even if one condensed both an immortal body and soul, at most they would be considered a pseudo-immortal!”
“Why can’t immortal spirit be born here?”
Lin Feng couldn’t help but ask.
“That I don’t know! But the Human Emperor, who was the strongest person back then, sensed something. He said our universe had been abandoned by the immortal realm… The immortal path withered, making ascension impossible unless someone from the upper realm came to remove this seal and shackle!”
Emperor Xuanyuan replied.
Hearing these words,
Lin Feng was stunned. This news was explosive. All along, he had believed that condensing an immortal body and soul would allow one to ascend to the immortal realm, but now he learned that many had reached this step during the Immortal Dao Era!
At this point, Lin Feng seemed to realize something and asked with uncertainty:
“Wait! If there were so many powerful beings who condensed immortal bodies and souls, where are they? Why can’t we see any of them now?”
“Because they all died! They died in the catastrophe of the Ancient Era! And it all started with an incident back then…”
Emperor Xuanyuan’s expression suddenly became extremely grave.
