CapĂtulo 1490: Chapter 718: Secrets of the Immortal Domain (Part 2)
âTreating the human world as a hunting ground, seeing all beings as nothing, and viewing us as mere pawns.â
âWhat else?â
âThe Immortal Domain is very powerful.â
âHa ha, thatâs unquestionable. If it werenât extremely formidable, even Chu Taizu wouldnât have been unable to obliterate it and instead perished at its hands.â
Lu Chengfeng seemed to reminisce, gently sighed.
âDoes the benefactor have any countermeasures?â
Lu Chengfeng shook his head:
âThe only way is to break it with force.â
âHow difficult it is.â
âIndeed, back then, I competed with Chu Taizu for the world, and regrettably, I lost to him, willingly admitted defeat, and handed over all my power, and shortly thereafter, Great Chu established itself.
Chu Taizu once promised me to establish Martial Emperor City, using the land of the East Sea as my sanctuaryâŠ.â
âThe Grand Ancestor was merciful.â
Moluo exclaimed.
Lu Chengfeng shook his head:
âHe wasnât merciful. If it hadnât been for the great enemy of the Immortal Domain, with his personality, he absolutely wouldnât have allowed Martial Emperor City to have such great power, even the court tolerated it.â
âOh?â
âA thousand years ago, the world was tumultuous for over a thousand years, with chaotic battles everywhere, small nations constantly emerging, he arose from obscurity, possessing great Qi fortune, and had only one enemy in his sights.â
âThe Immortal Domain.â
âRight, actually a thousand years ago, the Immortal Domain was not a secret to us at the time. From various clues, it could be seen that someone was deliberately guiding the human world into chaos.
I was defeated in combat with him, willingly handed over my power, and withdrew behind the scenes, it was indeed so, itâs just a pity, that fellow remained undefeated throughout his life but ultimately perished at the hands of the Immortal Domain.â
âDid Benefactor Lu participate in the battle?â
âNo, at that time, I hadnât become an Immortal yet, merely began to comprehend the rules, unable to participate in the battle, the real participants were only Chu Taizu and a million elite soldiers.â
Lu Chengfeng placed another white piece on the chessboard, where light began to flash, suddenly some changes occurred, an endless aura of murder emanated from it.
âIn that battle, a million elite soldiers of Great Chu lost to the Immortal Domain, that fellow was severely injured, nearly on the brink of death, the national fate of Great Chu was nearly shattered.
The only relief was that although Chu Taizu was defeated, he also injured the Immortal Domain. After that battle, the Grand Ancestor came to find me, granted me some opportunities, guided my cultivation, asking little, just hoping that when the Immortal Domain reappears in the future, if I am not dead, I can contribute.
Human efforts are limited, no matter how strong, itâs impossible to withstand many immortals, only when the human world unites can there be a glimmer of hope. After founding Great Chu, he stayed in power for only a short time.
Passed the throne to his offspring, and at the end of his life, made one last outburst, went alone to Nine Heavens Immortal Domain, sacrificing himself.
Completely inflicted heavy damage on the Immortal Domain, for over a thousand years since, making it dare not reveal itself, only over two hundred years ago, when Great Chu was destroyed, did some traces emerge.â
âWere you present when the former Chu was destroyed, Benefactor Lu?â
âAt that time, I was in the Capital, indeed, I had a wisp of divine thought hidden observing the battle, if Great Chu had hope, I wouldnât mind making a move, but unfortunately, the Xiang family ultimately ran out of momentum.
Two immortals perished, the immortals from Goddess Palace and Shushan who assisted, disappeared somewhere unknown, considering old friendships, I secretly helped the Xiang family once.
Let the former Crown Prince of Chu escape the Capital smoothly, now, he has also begun to rise.â
Speaking, Lu Chengfeng glanced at Chen Yuan, seemingly aware of the relationship between him and Xiang Qianqiu.
âHow much do you know about the Immortal Domain, Benefactor Lu?â
âIâm ultimately not the direct bloodline of Chu Taizu. Although he guided me, he didnât tell me everything he knew.
What could be passed down, Iâm afraid only the Xiang family holds it.â
âI seeâŠ.â
Moluoâs eyes showed some disappointment, he actually wanted to know more about the Immortal Domain from Lu Chengfeng, so he accepted his invitation.
âThese things are vague and unclear, even Chu Taizu probably didnât know much. After all, he only attacked the Immortal Domain, likely not fully aware of its origins.
We only need to know one thing.â
âHmm?â
Lu Chengfengâs eyes serious, spoke gravely:
âIn the Immortal Domain, there is not just one Heavenly Immortal!â
âHissâŠ.â
Although Moluo was a bit prepared for this, when Lu Chengfeng mentioned it, he still gasped, one Heavenly Immortal for them is an insurmountable barrier.
If there are two, or even more, thenâŠ..
What chance of victory is there?
âAlthough that fellow was flamboyant, his strength was truly invincible in the human world, holding the fortune of the Human Emperor, supported by heaven and earth, when he guided me, he once said.â
âWhat?â
âUnless the Martial Emperor resurrects, otherwise, he is invincible in the human world, so full of confidence, his strength is unquestionable, yet he still fell to the Immortal Domain.â
If it was just one Heavenly Immortal, it couldnât achieve such a feat.â
Itâs not that Lu Chengfeng looked down on Heavenly Immortals, but he held Chu Taizu in high regard, believing that even a Heavenly Immortal wasnât his match, of course, assuming only one.
âWhat is their origin, Benefactor Lu has been secluded in Martial Emperor City for so many years, is there any trace?â
Recorded history only dates back to the time of the Martial Emperor, over three thousand years ago, he actually searched ancient records for their shadows.
Due to historical gaps, the years a millennium ago were too chaotic, leaving too few traces, even records of the Martial Emperor are mere fragments.
Only as more and more relics were discovered did the legend of the Martial Emperor paving the way for human warriors emerge.
âI did search, but mostly it was suspicion, not much basis; however, I faintly discovered in various records, combined with Chu Taizuâs fragments, certain things.â
Lu Chengfeng continued.
âI hope you can tell meâŠ.â
âItâs no more than a discovery, itâs not much, Daoist Friend Moluo wants to know, I certainly wonât hide anything.â Lu Chengfeng waved his hand casually, slowly said:
âAncient records state that the Martial Emperor unified the Central Plains, expelled the demon race, established the human world, and founded a dynasty named Great Xia, history is incomplete, only knowing the dynasty lasted for over a thousand years, then fell into a chaos lasting for a thousand years, and their earliest traces seem to appear when Great Xia collapsed.â
âDo you mean the people were responsible for destroying the dynasty the Martial Emperor founded, just like Great Chu?â
Moluo frowned, asked solemnly.
âIndeed.â
Lu Chengfeng nodded.
âBut⊠how is that possibleâŠ.â Moluoâs eyes were full of shock and doubt, if referring to time, from the collapse of Great Xia to today, over two thousand years have passed, if including their cultivation time.
It might possibly reach two thousand five hundred years, and this was the point of Moluoâs doubt, not doubting the truth of Lu Chengfengâs words.
But doubting the lifespan of immortals.
Regarding the lifespan of the Sixth Realm, rumors abound, some say around five hundred to eight hundred years, some say about a thousand years, but no matter the rumor, none mention immortal lifespan exceeding two thousand years.
As Sixth Realm immortals, they naturally understand the source of lifespan; the undying primordial spirit grants eternal lifespan, yet there is still the constraint of time.
Moluo believed his lifespan definitely wouldnât reach a thousand years.
Even as an Earth Immortal, this remains within the realm of the Sixth Realm, definitely wonât undergo too drastic a change, this heâs pretty sure of.
In his perception, the Immortal Domain is merely a super large Blessed Land Cave Heaven, lacking and incapable of having Six Paths reincarnations, unable to propagate an entire realm.
It can only prove they are all born and bred in the human world.
Such beings, even if they typically lock their vitality, slow down lifespan loss, absolutely canât exceed fifteen hundred yearsâŠ..
âThereâs nothing impossible about it; Daoist Friend Moluo has animosity towards the Immortal Domain, donât you ever suspect why the Immortal Domain deliberately shapes the human world into turmoil?â
âŠ
