Chapter 1187
Chapter 1187: Immortal King Ming, who existed before the Forbidden Era, might be an acquaintance
This area was filled with a vast and chaotic mist, descending in strands, continually floating and drifting. The sky was bleak, resembling a place where vitality had been extinguished.
Grand and vast palace complexes stand erect in the depths of this region, radiating a brilliance that mirrors the heavens. Even a true immortal arriving here would feel their body on the verge of exploding, crumbling under this aura.
The ancient legendary original realm, once again opening its immortal gates, with beings from the cycle walking this path, now in the Western Immortal Realm.
I am far from being his opponent, concerned about unforeseen events. I hope the seniors will intervene on our behalf to prevent this person from escaping.
The Immortal King Kunxuan, adopting a respectful and humble posture, descended into this area and addressed the vast palace complexes ahead.
As a foreign land’s Immortal King, self-proclaimed invincible in the present world, overseeing all living beings from the celestial end, indifferent to the pa.s.sing of millions of years, he remains unperturbed.
However, in the figure’s presence within these palaces, the Immortal King Kunxuan adopts a deferential att.i.tude, behaving like a junior.
Though both were Immortal Kings, there was a significant gap in their cultivation and Dao-building expert level, even an insurmountable gap.
For him, when he was still a novice cultivator, this senior was already an Immortal King, governing the illusions of background figures across billions of starfields.
Over the years, he had risen from a mere novice to a high and mighty Immortal King.
However, in the presence of such a senior, he remains humble and respectful, aware that the senior could effortlessly erase him.
This disparity in cultivation and attainments, this terrifying and seemingly insurmountable gap, cannot be bridged at the moment.
Indeed, in the vast and mysterious foreign land, there are many ancient beings like the senior before him. However, their whereabouts need to be more prominent, and even an Immortal King struggles to determine where they are in seclusion.
These ancient beings had experienced the upheavals of other true realms, some existing since the birth of the Mountain and Sea True World, while others, survivors from other true worlds, had escaped here to live in seclusion.
In this boundless and vast universe, even the Kunxuan Immortal King does not dare to be too arrogant, fearing to provoke those ancient creatures who have lived countless epochs.
Being an Immortal King is not the ultimate world, and it’s still a distant journey to reach the highest level he knows.
Boom!!!
As the Kuxuan Immortal King’s words echoed, the area filled with the vast and chaotic mist suddenly erupted with a tremendous force.
The sky trembled, and the surrounding star fields quivered as if they were about to fall. A terrifying breath resounded in the minds of all surrounding cultivators, causing the heavens and earth to undulate.
Who dares to awaken me?
The ancient, weathered voice, carrying indifference, resounds here and echoes throughout the universe.
The Kuxuan Immortal King’s demeanor becomes increasingly respectful as he speaks, Junior Kunxuan pays respects to the senior.
The other Immortal Kings arriving from various directions are also astonished upon hearing the news.
Subsequently, they adopt respectful att.i.tudes. Even the Immortal King, who was incredibly proud and aloof with black wings on his back, restrains his aura and waits here respectfully.
In this vast universe, accommodating the presence and Dao-building expert of a single Immortal King was already challenging. However, at this moment, there was no collision of auras, creating an unimaginable tranquility.
We have paid our respects to the senior.
These Immortal Kings understand the significance of this place. In the presence of this figure, they are all juniors, with their cultivation and Dao-building expertise far inferior to the seniors.
Though they are all in the world of Immortal Kings, determining a winner among them was challenging. However, these seasoned Immortal Kings were different; their mastery of Dao-building expertise and essence surpa.s.ses the understanding of the others.
The reappearance of the ancient legendary Original World?
A murmuring old voice echoes in this place. Then, the dense fog dissipates, revealing a figure in a black robe, appearing somewhat hunched.
His face was obscured by the mist, making it impossible to see clearly. However, a terrifying aura, resonating with the great Dao sound, pervades the surroundings, making the heavens and earth seem unable to bear the pressure.
Reporting to the venerable senior, it is indeed so. A million years ago, we breached the Western Immortal Realm, attempting to find the entrance to that realm but failed…
Unexpectedly, the gateway has reappeared recently, covering the eight directions. From it emerged a figure resembling a king from the cycle, incredibly young. I am no match for him.
Kunxuan Immortal King speaks respectfully, summarizing the situation, including when his Dao avatar was cut down by a sword light. If he hadn’t timely withdrawn his divine consciousness, he would have suffered severe damage.
A king from the reincarnation?
The elder, named King Ming, suddenly shoots out two terrifying sword lights from his gaze, seemingly about to cleave the universe itself. His emotions become turbulent, unable to remain as calm as before.
“I didn’t expect to encounter a being from the reincarnation in this lifetime. Perhaps it could even be someone I knew in the past.”
King Ming speaks slowly, sweeping his sleeves. The universe before him roars, tearing open as he takes significant strides toward the location of the Immortal Realm.
Upon hearing this, Kunxuan Immortal King and the others feel their emotions stirring. They know this senior existed before the forbidden era, and following him, four Immortal Kings follow.
They were the undisputed rulers of the current foreign land, each governing numerous universes, standing as royal figures with millions of followers behind them.
In terms of status, they were the lords of the royal clans. In today’s era, their lifespans can be described as endless, overlooking the changes of epochs.
However, they mobilize together today, heading towards the Immortal Realm, tearing open a ma.s.sive tunnel in the universe.
This event causes tremendous waves in the foreign lands, and major royal clans dispatch true immortals to follow suit, collectively advancing toward the Western Immortal Realm.
At this moment, in the Western Immortal Realm, the turmoil remains unsettled. All the foreign cultivators and beings who had arrived in front of the ancient Heavenly Pa.s.sage City trembled uncontrollably, not daring to make the slightest move.
Witnessing the cold and ruthless demeanor of Gu Changge, even the true immortals feel a chill, hesitant to act recklessly.
On the contrary, many descendants of the Immortal Realm feel excited. Seeing the foreign beings in such fear and unease, they find immense satisfaction.
For a long time, descendants of the Immortal Realm had been hiding everywhere, fearing encounters with foreign beings. After the great war a million years ago, the Western Immortal Realm can be said to have fallen apart.
Supreme-level cultivators, let alone those who had attained Dao-building expertise or become true immortals, had vanished.
Most of the once powerful figures fled to other Immortal Realms, leaving the Western Immortal Realm in ruins and occupied by various foreign races.
Once flourishing, the Western Immortal Realm was vibrant and peaceful under the rule of immortal kings. A million years ago, the disaster destroyed it all, turning the Western Immortal Realm into a deserted place occupied by foreign races.
Back then, the Western Immortal Realm was prosperous, with various races coexisting harmoniously under the rule of immortal kings.
A million years ago, the catastrophe destroyed the Western Immortal Realm, shattering peace and turning the descendants of the Immortal Realm into fugitives.
Many people had no choice but to settle in desolate places, barely surviving.
I wonder which immortal king this person used to be?
Even the foreign Immortal King was scared away. His strength is truly unfathomable.
The origin world is incredibly mysterious. Perhaps, besides this person, there are other powerful beings. If they all show up, they can definitely drive away the foreign beings.
The restoration of prosperity and peace in the Western Immortal Realm is just around the corner.
At this moment, many descendants of the Immortal Realm can’t help but imagine this scene, their emotions surging uncontrollably.
Listening to the discussions of these descendants, Gu Changge’s expression remains incredibly calm, without a hint of disturbance. He silently gazes at the heavenly world, sensing vast fluctuations approaching from a distant region.
However, it’s not from the direction of the foreign lands but from other directions of the Immortal Realms.
There should be immortal kings in other Immortal Realms…
They should have sensed the fluctuations here and want to come and observe.
The Large Bird couldn’t help but speak. Although it once existed only as the spirit of the Heaven Slayer Sword for Gu Xian’er, it doesn’t mean it lacks experience. As the weapon of the Heaven Slayer Sword, it had served countless Immortal Kings.
Gu Changge nodded, a faint smile appearing on his lips.
It’s quite amusing.
They only dare to show themselves at this time. Even if they know that many descendants of this realm are being slaughtered by foreign beings, they only dare to hide in their respective domains on ordinary days.
This is the current state of the Immortal Realm.
He shook his head gently, not mocking but finding it rather amusing.
This was the Immortal Realm that Gu Qingyi had always wanted to protect and shelter. However, Gu Changge needs to find out where Gu Qingyi is currently.
As the true spirit of the Mountain and Sea True World, Gu Qingyi had witnessed the birth and nurturing of many beings, including the Immortal Realm and the foreign lands.
As the true spirit of this realm, her existence is no different from the will of the heavens. The only difference lies in the form of true nature, signifying that she was born with consciousness and can manifest as living beings in this world.
The conflicts and battles between the foreign lands and the Immortal Realm, like the existence of yin and yang, emptiness, and reality, are part of the predetermined destiny, serving as constraints for mutual destruction and maintaining balance.
However, as a true spirit, Gu Qingyi clearly favors the Immortal Realm. But this favoritism hadn’t improved the Immortal Realm; instead, internal strife was quite severe.
Otherwise, how did the five Immortal Realms come about?
With fewer internal issues, how could the foreign lands systematically break through each other?
Even though some beings in the foreign lands secretly conspired with the existences from other actual domains or had connections to the Source Realm, the Immortal Realm had declined within a mere million years, even worse than the upper realms.
Gu Changge thought about the past decisions he and Gu Qingyi had discussed, shaking his head slightly in his heart.
As the Demon Lord, he took a stand against the Immortal Realm, destroying Gu Qingyi’s plans, but not without his own selfish desires.
This decaying and crumbling Immortal Realm might be better off ceasing to exist sooner, perhaps giving birth to new vitality.
In this way, before the next Heaven Slaying War arrives, one or two anomalies might emerge, and these anomalies could aid in his plans.
