Chapter 1244 Past Secrets
At this moment,
Lin Feng saw the withered and solemn face of Emperor Xuanyuan, and surprisingly felt waves of coldness in his heart.
He knew,
He was about to learn the greatest secret of this world!
“During the Immortal Era, with the Human Emperor in the world, there was peace throughout the land. Although there were conflicts between various races, they all fought for cultivation, and there were no extinction-level disputes! Until one day, daylight suddenly darkened, and the once brilliant sky suddenly split open, and a group of terrifying immortals descended out of nowhere!”
Emperor Xuanyuan continued in a hoarse voice:
“At first, people were excited to see visitors from the immortal realm, thinking that the seals and shackles of heaven and earth would be removed, and opportunities to become immortals would arrive. Little did they know that this group of immortals would inexplicably start fighting among themselves!”
“That battle shattered the heavens and earth, darkened the sun and moon, and countless living beings died under the remnant power of the immortal way. That battle lasted for a hundred years, from the nine heavens and ten earths to the edge of the universe, and finally ended in the Taixu Realm!”
“The Taixu Realm was originally a place for cultivators to train their divine consciousness, and no one actually lived there. It was because of that battle that the Taixu Realm was shattered, and after countless eras, it evolved into today’s Taixu Realm.”
Hearing these words, Lin Feng was extremely shocked and quickly asked:
“Then what? What was the outcome of the battle?”
“Unknown! No one knows the final result, not even the Human Emperor, because in a battle of that magnitude, even the Human Emperor would be like an ant if he went there!”
“Fortunately, after that battle, peace returned to the world, and the immortals disappeared! The surviving beings breathed a huge sigh of relief, thinking that the matter had ended. Little did they know that after ten thousand years, at the beginning of the Ancient Era, those disappeared immortals would appear again!”
At this point, Emperor Xuanyuan’s withered body visibly trembled.
As if recalling something terrifying, he continued with great difficulty:
“This time, the people of our universe weren’t so lucky, because those few immortals targeted us! They initiated an indiscriminate massacre, thus beginning the catastrophe of the Ancient Era!”
“In this catastrophe, the Human Emperor fell, the Empress sacrificed herself! Countless people from your Qingyun lineage also died in battle. Those once glorious powers and great clans were extinguished one after another, disappearing into the vast river of time.”
“Except for those who reached pseudo-immortal status and could resist somewhat! Other cultivators in our realm had almost no resistance against those few immortals. It was during this period that the ancestors of the Four Divine Mountains chose to submit, which is why the ancestors of the Divine Mountains were called immortal slaves!”
“I heard about this from the Qingyun Founder, it seems the East Divine Mountain had a change of heart at the critical moment,” Lin Feng said with a serious face.
“Correct! Of the Four Divine Mountains, only the East Divine Mountain had a change of heart! But even so, it couldn’t change the outcome! In the battle of the Era Catastrophe, almost all pseudo-immortals in the world died, and just when I thought our world would be destroyed, those few immortals suddenly stopped the slaughter and disappeared again!”
Emperor Xuanyuan looked at Lin Feng with a bitter expression and asked:
“Sometimes I wonder, are these immortals perverted? Are they deliberately toying with us? But before the Human Emperor died, he said that every ten thousand years is a cycle, and the immortals might return to unleash another slaughter. Now, the ten-thousand-year limit is almost up.”
“It shouldn’t be purely for slaughter, right?”
Lin Feng’s expression kept changing.
At this moment, after hearing these secrets, his heart was in turmoil.
“Who knows? Perhaps those few immortals simply enjoy killing, or perhaps they have other purposes! But what’s certain is that the immortals are still around, looking down upon this universe like gods from above, and they might appear at any time!”
Emperor Xuanyuan sighed and continued:
“This is why I was previously unwilling to reveal my full strength, because I knew that once I exposed my full aura, it would inevitably attract the attention of immortals… and this time I thought I would certainly die, but I never expected that you would be able to scare away that immortal!”
Hearing this, Lin Feng seemed to think of something and quickly summoned the seven-colored little person from his sea of consciousness.
The seven-colored little person was now in a deep sleep, suspended in mid-air with closed eyes, in a peaceful posture like a baby.
“Senior, my ability to drive away the immortal must be related to it. Do you know what this is? Could it be the immortal spirit you mentioned?”
Lin Feng asked.
Emperor Xuanyuan carefully examined the seven-colored little person, somewhat surprised:
“This shouldn’t be an immortal spirit, but the more I look at it, the more it seems like a person… and it has an aura of blood kinship with you! How did you nurture it?”
“I truly don’t know!”
“Once when I was about to die, it suddenly appeared in my sea of consciousness.”
Lin Feng smiled bitterly.
He had hoped that Emperor Xuanyuan, with his ancient origins and having been by the Human Emperor’s side, might recognize the origin of the seven-colored little person,
But the result disappointed him!
“Heaven never cuts off all paths. Lin Feng, you should be the variable in this era. When the next catastrophe comes, perhaps only you can resolve it!”
Emperor Xuanyuan said solemnly.
Lin Feng was speechless.
He now had countless enemies and hadn’t even found his parents, sister, wife, or daughter. How could he possibly be some kind of savior!
Most crucially,
To condense an immortal soul, he needed to absorb the thunder essence.
However,
That thunder essence was in the control of the immortals, which filled him with despair just thinking about it.
“What about the Immortal Path? What’s that all about?”
Lin Feng seized the opportunity to ask all the questions in his heart, including about the strange beings on the Immortal Path.
“The Immortal Path is quite peculiar. After the Immortal Era, the world was broken, and the immortal spirit energy disappeared without a trace. But after the Era Catastrophe, this Immortal Path suddenly appeared, containing large amounts of immortal spirit energy and various immortal products!!”
“I once thought that the appearance of the Immortal Path wasn’t a good thing, but every ten thousand years when the Immortal Path opens, cultivators who enter gain great opportunities… and no dangers have occurred. Those who died were killed by other cultivators fighting for opportunities, unrelated to the immortals!”
Emperor Xuanyuan shook his head.
“……”
Lin Feng felt uneasy upon hearing this.
The situation seemed strange,
He also recalled that the immortal had previously said he planned to let him absorb the thunder attribute essence.
So,
The other party was clearly intentionally enhancing the strength of cultivators in this realm.
But if that was the case,
Why did the immortals initiate the Era Catastrophe in the first place?
“Lin Feng, I’m telling you all this, but don’t overthink it, as it’s pointless! You just need to know that immortals currently won’t act against people without reason. This time, if you hadn’t angered the other party, they wouldn’t have thought about killing you!”
“What you need to do now is to work hard to improve your strength. As for the final outcome, everything can only be left to fate!”
Emperor Xuanyuan paused, then said:
“Your injuries are still severe. Recover here first. This is the Human Emperor’s sacred ground and will accelerate your healing! After you’re better, I’ll take you out of here!”
“Alright!”
Although Lin Feng was very anxious about the North Divine Mountain’s situation, he had no other choice at the moment and immediately sat down to meditate, absorbing the immortal spirit energy in the space to recover!
And during this time,
He surprisingly discovered that in his Dao Palace, a mysterious egg had inexplicably appeared.
