Chapter 1199: The people saved in the boundless battlefield, Tao Yao’s choice
This city was called Luo w.a.n.g City, a renowned ancient city in the central immortal realm, with an incredibly ancient existence, standing deep within the vast and majestic universe.
What makes it even more significant was that within this city, an ancient Immortal King was presiding, named Luo w.a.n.g. Currently, it is the grand celebration of Luo w.a.n.g’s billionth birthday, inviting many powerful figures from the central realm.
The entire Luo w.a.n.g City was lively, with numerous ancient immortal families from the central immortal realm flocking to the celebration. Bright divine lights traverse the universe as ancient warships approach and descend upon this location.
The w.a.n.g family, one of the highly esteemed immortal families in the central domain, had an Immortal King overseeing them. With their lineage unbroken, the young man in white by the name of w.a.n.g Wushang stands as the current figurehead, possessing unparalleled potential.
Having cultivated for less than a thousand years, he had already reached the Supreme Realm, with the prospect of achieving Dao-building expert level within the next three thousand years.
In the future, there was a significant possibility of him reaching the threshold of an Immortal King. Beside w.a.n.g Wu Shang stands a tall young man, the heir of the Luo family named Luo Xuan. His ident.i.ty was equally prestigious; he was a young talent with the potential to vie for the Immortal King position.
During this celebration hosted by Luo w.a.n.g, various family traditions from the central immortal realm were in attendance. As the host, Luo Xuan personally accompanies w.a.n.g Wu Shang, indicating the high regard Luo’s family holds for w.a.n.g Wu Shang.
Luo Xuan’s gaze was fixed on the figure of w.a.n.g Zijin in front of the city. With a friendly smile, he shows a gesture of goodwill. As the ancient warship descends, the two figures step onto Luo w.a.n.g City.
This city, grand as the gates of heaven, had cultivators appearing like tiny ants in front of its majestic gates. However, the ident.i.ties of the two were incredibly n.o.ble, and the surrounding cultivators respectfully offer their greetings.
w.a.n.g Zijin, in a white robe, appears somewhat delicate. As she looks at the approaching w.a.n.g Wu Shang and Luo Xuan, a sense of powerlessness arises in her heart. She knows that leaving Luo w.a.n.g City today was an impossible task.
Therefore, she turns and walks away, completely ignoring the two men. In response, Luo Xuan was slightly surprised, a wry smile appearing on his face. He says, “Miss Zijin is truly unique, different from ordinary women.”
Given his status, who wouldn’t give him a bit of face in the entire central domain? Even some true immortal ancestors hold him in high regard and wouldn’t treat him like an ordinary junior. However, when it comes to w.a.n.g Zijin, he encounters continuous indifference and coldness.
w.a.n.g Wu Shang watches w.a.n.g Zijin’s departing figure, shakes his head, and chuckles. He says, “I never thought someone like Luo Xuan would face such a situation. It seems heroes are still no match for the charms of a beautiful woman.”
“But our cousin Zijin is no ordinary person. Even our Immortal King ancestor values her highly. He went to great lengths to bring her up from the foreign world.”
If Luo Xuan wishes to pursue our cousin Zijin, he’ll need to put in more effort.
Of course, I personally strongly support this union…
Upon hearing this, Luo Xuan nodded solemnly and said, “Rest a.s.sured, Brother w.a.n.g, I have a sense of propriety and won’t act recklessly. I’ve heard that Miss Zijin is a powerful ent.i.ty reincarnated from an ancient era, possessing an immortal mark. The connection between that ent.i.ty and the w.a.n.g family runs deep—it’s a representative Immortal King of an era.”
“She left behind the immortal mark, and it’s likely that she will undergo reincarnation and rebirth in this life, reaching new heights in cultivation. At that time, her strength may surpa.s.s her past achievements.”
He admired w.a.n.g Zijin not only for her personality and beauty but also because of her remarkable origin. This, in turn, led the entire Luo family, including their Immortal King ancestor, to support this matter.
“This matter is quite intricate, and I only understand the force of it. In any case, Cousin Zijin holds a special status in our w.a.n.g family, and even some true immortal ancestors have no way to deal with her.”
“Recently, she heard about the situation in the Western Immortal Realm and is eager to go there, using the portal to return to the foreign land. However, the current Western Immortal Realm is so perilous that not even an Immortal King dares to venture easily. If she rushes there, wouldn’t it be akin to seeking death?”
“Initially, even our Immortal King ancestor predicted that unexpected disturbances would occur in the foreign land. We, being unable to bear the consequences, were advised not to touch it.”
w.a.n.g Wu Shang shook his head, expressing a hint of sigh and trepidation. After all, the demise of the four Immortal Kings from another realm in the Western Immortal Realm had shaken the entire Immortal Realm.
The foreign land is indeed a mysterious place, said to have buried many existences from various cycles of reincarnation. This time, an unspeakable existence emerged—a forbidden being…
Luo Xuan also sighed. Despite being among the outstanding younger generation of the central immortal realm, they felt like dust in the eyes of such forbidden ent.i.ties.
However, I hope Brother w.a.n.g can keep an eye on a young man named Chen. I sense something indiscernible about him…
I heard that Miss Zijin kindly saved him on the vast battlefield. Recently, I saw his skills in the arena, and it seems he has the shadow of the underworld behind him.
Following this, Luo Xuan’s expression became serious, and he arched his hand.
The shadow of the underworld realm?
w.a.n.g Wushang was momentarily stunned, then his expression also turned serious as he spoke, “The destruction of the underworld realm back then actually had the shadow of our Immortal Realm. If it truly involves the underworld Realm, even the existence of an Immortal King might be alarmed.”
They should have delved more into this matter, as it touched upon significant issues related to other realms.
The Vast Battlefield was a vast and boundless area that connected endless domains. Through it, if the coordinates of other actual realms were known, one can descend and explore. However, only the presence of an Immortal King grants the qualification to traverse the vast expanse, as true immortals stepping in would be instantly crushed by the overwhelming aura of the boundless void.
The so-called Vast Battlefield mentioned by the two was not truly endless but rather external regions located deep within the vast cosmic expanse, akin to the borderlands at the furthest reaches of the Immortal Realm.
In the Vast Battlefield, beings from other actual realms occasionally trespa.s.s, leading to continuous conflicts and chaos—a land of utter disorder.
Of course, within the endless expanse, besides beings from other actual realms, there were many unknown and vast areas, along with numerous unspeakable tribes, delving into countless secrets.
Even the appearance of an Immortal King in that place requires utmost caution.
In the Upper Realm, at the pinnacle of the Divine Kingdom, the figure of Gu Changge appeared. After leaving through the portal in the Ancient City in the Immortal Realm, he refined the entire Immortal Ancient Continent. Using supreme divine techniques, he transported the Immortal Gate to this location.
However, much more time was needed to establish a pa.s.sage between the two realms thoroughly and transform it into a Immortal Channel.
Therefore, he left a mental avatar in the Divine Kingdom, while the main body, carrying the Immortal Ancient Continent, appeared in the boundless void.
Gu Changge sat cross-legged here, starting the refinement of the Immortal Channel. Chaotic flames soared, nearly causing this void s.p.a.ce to collapse.
During his absence from the Upper Realm, no unusual events occurred. Instead, due to the appearance of divine phenomena in the Immortal Ancient Continent, various clans dispatched individuals to investigate.
However, by then, he had already left the Upper Realm and appeared in the Immortal Realm. Hence, no one discovered anything abnormal.
After returning to the Upper Realm, the Large Bird separated from him. The Large Bird was now deeply wary and frightened of him, having witnessed his slaughter of several Immortal Kings in the Immortal Realm. It now desired to keep a considerable distance from Gu Changge.
Upon returning to Peach Village, facing Gu Xian’er’s inquiries, the Large Bird had to reveal some information to her.
Gu Xian’er didn’t mind her newfound origin. When she was at the True Immortal Academy, Zi Yang Heavenly King, the heir of the Purple Mansion, had brought water from the Lake of Reincarnation, attempting to restore her memories from her past life.
However, at that time, Gu Xian’er firmly declined, believing everything from her past was an illusion.
The village of Peach Blossoms was incredibly peaceful. At Gu Xian’er’s request, Gu Changge built a palace for her, the Xian’er Palace, adjacent to Peach Village. This made it highly convenient for her to return to Peach Village during regular times.
At the entrance of Peach Village, peach trees blossomed brilliantly, lush and vibrant, with colorful and enchanting petals. The presence of Tao Yao was widely known, but even Gu Xian’er and the villagers were uncertain about her relationship with Gu Changge.
A figure of extraordinary grace emerged as a thick fog rolled in, creating an immortal ambiance. With each step, she walked out, untouched by dust or impurity. Her face, as pure as snow, bore a touch of captivating vermilion at the center of her brows, bewitching all who looked at her.
Looking back at Peach Village, Tao Yao gently shook her head. Then, casting her gaze towards the sky, she closed her eyes.
The world now bears a semblance of its former atmosphere. She, too, should have recovered somewhat.
It may be time to give it a try.
Tao Yao opened them with eyes reflecting a l.u.s.trous gla.s.sy hue once more, beholding the distant mountains, seas, and drifting clouds.
In a trance, Tao Yao saw a scene from the past. In the boundless wilderness, a young girl with flowing dark hair sat gracefully by a withered peach tree, embracing her knees.
Tao Yao glanced again at the tranquil Peach Village in the distance, observing the joyful play of the children.
As her memories awakened, she also gained an understanding of many things. Tao Yao and she were not indeed one and could not easily merge. Instead, Tao Yao embodied her enduring thoughts after undergoing tribulations—a period of carefree time by the boundary of the underworld and the summit of the withered mountain.
Buzz!!!
The void lightly trembled, becoming blurry. With each step Tao Yao took, she disappeared into Peach Village. When she reappeared, she was surrounded by vast miasma and demonic fog.
Mountains and valleys, demonic roars echoing everywhere, the entire s.p.a.ce immersed in deathly silence and dimness, resembling a perpetual resting place in the depths of the underworld.
Red attire…
She whispered.
