Chapter 2609 The Immortal
The old man's name was Min Xue.
He was once a legendary figure, his journey to immortality nothing short of extraordinary, but no one could have imagined that he would descend into such madness in his later years, cursing both the Heavenly Dao and the Great Dao...
The power of a true immortal is all-encompassing, reaching the heavens and penetrating the earth; cause and effect reach the ears of the heavens directly!
This is suicidal...
However, Min Xue is truly reckless. With his lifespan coming to an end, what is he afraid of? He wouldn't even blink if the sky were to fall.
But the disciples of the various branches of the Heavenly Dao Palace panicked, and even the immortal elders' lips trembled as they hesitated to speak, thinking to themselves:
"Emperor Taizu, we're still alive! We're still alive!!"
"If we encounter misfortune from Heaven or the Great Dao, the lineage of our Dao will be ruined!"
……
But it seems that Ancestor Tianwen has no interest in the younger generation or the inheritance of any lineage. Since witnessing that incident back then, he has become indifferent to everything before his death, and nothing matters anymore.
"Fellow Daoist, Heavenly Questioner."
"Senior Tianwen, why have you come to this?"
"Heavenly Questions!"
Sudden.
A beam of light appeared in the sky, its oppressive power overwhelming the heavens. Three true immortals had actually descended! For a moment, all the disciples of the Heavenly Inquiry Palace were completely silent, staring in utter shock at the direction of Heavenly Inquiry Mountain. Three true immortals had arrived in person!
Their expressions were solemn, and they felt a sudden chill run down their spines. The Great Dao was resonating with them, and they realized it was this person.
Ancestor Tianwen appeared calm and composed, as if he were defiant against heaven and earth.
"Tianwen, I heard that you went to the Hongmeng Immortal River a million years ago."
"Yes."
The Heavenly Question Ancestor's gaze was profound. "There I saw a heaven-defying lineage and a heaven-defying race, the Immortal Puppet Clan."
"...The lineage of puppet crafting?"
"What is the mere art of crafting puppets? That is when puppets come to life and form their own race!"
The voice of the Heavenly Question Ancestor boomed like thunder, and he laughed loudly, "This clan is absurd, the Heavenly Dao is absurd, and there is actually an ancestor of the Immortal Puppet of Immortality within them. I was seriously injured by his attack."
He uttered some astonishing words.
But it didn't cause any uproar.
Since none of the three true immortals believed it, their expressions remained indifferent and unmoved.
"Tianwen, once you reach the realm of True Immortal and comprehend the profound mysteries, you will know that there are people beyond people. If there is a strong person who can defeat you in one blow, their realm must be above that of True Immortal. Why bother complaining about heaven and earth here?"
Some true immortals shook their heads.
Immortality is the pursuit of the immortal path.
But no one in the world has ever said that the strong must live forever, or that the Great Dao must be overthrown. It is a blessing that there is a path ahead, and there is no need to resent heaven and earth or complain about the Great Dao.
In their view, the Heavenly Question Ancestor was already nearing the end of his life and had gone mad from his pursuit of immortality.
"Heaven is unjust, the world is unjust!!"
The Heavenly Question Ancestor began to roar to the sky again, completely disregarding everything, causing the three True Immortals to frown deeply.
They weren't there to advise him, because a true immortal going mad would be a disaster. They were simply there to prevent him from doing anything detrimental to heaven and earth or to all living beings.
Rumble...
The surrounding phenomena were thrown into chaos by the immortal's words, the mountains and rivers trembled, and the Heavenly Question Ancestor continued to vent, venting that he alone was sober while the world was drunk. The brows of the three True Immortals furrowed deeper and deeper, as if they were about to 'send him off'.
They exchanged a glance and decided to stay put...
However, they still remembered the so-called 'Immortal Puppet' race, which they had never heard of or seen in hundreds of millions of years.
later.
The Heavenly Question Ancestor has gone completely mad, becoming the first true immortal to go insane in countless years. Every word he utters is incomprehensible and meaningless, leaving people sighing in despair.
However, the idea of "immortals" gradually spread throughout the various immortal realms of the Nine Extremes Heaven Continent.
……
In a corner of heaven and earth, lies the realm of the Five Elements.
The Divine Mountain Continent stretches across the universe, its celestial light surging like a tide, resonating with all paths.
Ancient fairy cities unfold quietly.
Looking into the distance.
The celestial city stands suspended in mid-air, with mountains below coiled like dragon veins, the spirit river cascading down, and starlight falling like waterfalls.
outside the city.
Hundreds of millions of cultivators come and go in an endless stream.
Before the major city gates, a spiritual path stretching across the heavens and earth unfolds.
This path was not laid by man, but rather formed by the "traces of the path" accumulated by cultivators over millions of years.
The world was in a state of utter desolation. On the contrary, due to the split of the ancient immortal realm, a large number of ancient cultivators from various domains poured in. The immortal realm has always been vast, so vast that it could exhaust the life of an ancient cultivator.
today.
The sea of clouds outside Changyan Immortal City slowly parted.
An ancient tortoise walked through the air, its shell mottled, seemingly bearing the marks of ten thousand years of wind and frost, yet as steady as a mountain.
"Miss, we have arrived at Changyan Immortal City."
A slightly aged yet respectful voice rang out from the back of the old tortoise.
"Ah."
It fell softly.
The sound wasn't loud, but it caused the surging spiritual energy around it to slow down slightly, as if even heaven and earth instinctively calmed down their restlessness.
On the turtle's back.
A woman slowly opened her eyes.
The distant celestial city's radiant glow reflected in her eyes seemed to have its brilliance slightly diminished. Even the several beams of spiritual light that had been rushing past silently deviated as they approached the old tortoise.
The old woman lowered her head instinctively and said no more.
She had followed her for many years and had grown accustomed to the fact that whenever the young lady opened her eyes, the surroundings would become exceptionally quiet.
It was as if everything was waiting for her to finish looking at this world.
Five indifferent figures stood at the back of the ghost's back, each embodying one of the five elements, protecting the woman like the five cardinal directions of heaven and earth.
"Greetings, Immortal Ancestor Nangong!"
Suddenly, a wave came from the horizon, and two figures appeared: the city lord and the deputy city lord.
The woman raised her eyes, smiled and nodded: "I have heard that the Dao veins of Changyan Immortal City are turbulent all year round, and the scattered Dao fire rushes into the heavens, causing many troubles in the outer realms. This is a great pity. After thinking about it, I decided to come and suppress it."
The words fell.
The two looked ashamed and said respectfully, "We are incompetent to have attracted the presence of the Immortal Ancestor."
"Please." The woman smiled.
"Immortal Ancestor, please!"
……
They were actually quite desperate, and had been desperate for many years. The Dao vein erupted, bringing endless blessings, which the cultivators of the entire Immortal City could not take. They could only helplessly watch the Dao fire dissipate beyond the realm. It seems that this matter has finally alarmed the higher-ups.
It's actually better that it was intercepted by ancient cultivators from other regions; it's truly a pity that it ended up in the outer realms.
And the reason why Chen Xun couldn't understand what his third sister was doing back then was actually here.
After the heavens and earth sublimated and expanded.
The Eternal Immortal Realm naturally benefited the most, with opportunities so terrifying they were unimaginable. However, this also caused people's Dao hearts to swell to an unimaginable degree, which even Chen Xun personally oversaw could no longer suppress.
So over the years, He Ling has been traveling around silently to clean up the mess for the world.
The filthy old tortoise was half-dead; it had once said it was tired of living...
Now, the crane spirit is in a deep sleep, not truly awake. There is no food to eat, so it seems tired of living and doesn't want to endure the greatest suffering in the world anymore, and has been sleeping for many years.
They entered the immortal city at a leisurely pace and disappeared into the crowd.
