Ling Yan and Ji Xiaoqian listened quietly like primary school students. Although the old story of tens of thousands of years ago had long been buried in the river of time, Yu the Great was the one who told it to them.
Da Yu continued, ”According to the situation at that time, the Immortal World being destroyed was just a matter of time. However, the moment the Immortal World was completely occupied by the Demon and Demon Realms, there would also be countless cultivators in the cultivation world involved. If the cultivators successfully ascended to the Immortal World and the ones waiting at the side of the lake were not Immortal officials, but demons and devouring immortals — what kind of scene would that be? The Immortal World cannot be taken over by the demons, which is the obsession of every single deity in the Immortal World, because the cultivators in the cultivation world are all their descendants. No one knows who will be the one in the lead, and when the deities fight with the demons, they will unhesitatingly self-destruct, pulling the opponent and the surrounding fiendish demons into destruction. ”
Da Yu smiled. His smile contained an unconcealable expression of pain. Ling Yan and Ji Xiaoqian could imagine the intensity of the battle. Once the immortals could not defeat their opponents, they would throw away the weapons in their hands, stare at the immortals with bloodshot eyes, gather the immortal elemental energy within their bodies, and pounce towards the place where the demons gathered.
Ling Yan sighed in his heart, as long as there was life, war could not be avoided. Earth was like this, even a land of saints as beautiful as the Immortal World was invaded by demons and demons. Could 'evolution' really explain the meaning of war: Only competition could transform, only evolution could perfect it? However, the word 'war' represented cruelty and destruction. It seemed that there were very few good sides to it.
”The army of the Immortal Realm relied on this obsession. After the combined demon army of the Immortal Realm had occupied nearly half of the Star Region, they were barely able to withstand the invasion of the demons and demons. After facing off against each other for over three hundred years, the demons and devils in the Immortal World were not allowed to advance, and the Immortal Realm was not able to expel the demons either.
”Ignoring the advice of the immortal lords, I forcefully used the space source energy of the Immortal World, and then led the Immortal World army to counterattack the demons. After absorbing the space source energy, my power greatly increased, and I was able to fend off the Demon Emperor and the Demon King's combined attack alone, and still had the energy to force them to move the battlefield into the demon armies, using their attacks to kill the demons without restraint. The Demon Emperor and the Demon King's combined army lost their advantage, and the Demon Lord who possessed the nature of exterminating two demons connected to this place.”
”Ever since the fiendish demons invaded the Immortal World, the Nine Immortals went all out, the Celestial Immortals and Mysterious Immortals suffered over ten thousand losses, and the number of Immortals below the Immortal's cave is beyond counting. In total, almost ten million Immortals have perished. ”I have only been back to the Hall of Alchemy for ten years and have finally encountered the consequences of forcefully absorbing the origin energy of the Immortal World. As my powers regressed, my cultivation was completely destroyed, and just as I was considering who should succeed the throne, one of the Immortal Monarchs who has coveted the Immortal Emperor position for a long time started to betray me …”
Ji Xiaoqian couldn't help but curse, ”Oh no!”
The best candidate to take over the throne was originally Immortal Monarch Tianxiang, but he suffered heavy injuries after exterminating the two Devil Commanders. In addition to that, he also took out five Demon Generals, causing his injuries to worsen, and as soon as he returned to the Palace of Alchemy, he entered a state of seclusion. Two of the remaining four Immortal Lords went into seclusion, while the remaining two Immortal Monarch and Immortal Monarch Dazzling Light stayed by my side to protect me. In the end, under the protection of the 13 Heavenly Guards, I used the power of the Meng Immortal to store up the Alchemy Hall and flee to the lower realms. Then, I found a random planet to hide in. ”
When he said the two words ”abscond”, Yu the Great didn't look ashamed at all. He still had a smiling expression on his face, as if he was very proud of it. Ji Xiaoqian was lost in thought and asked, ”What happened next? Your original body returned to the Immortal World after recovering? ”
”When I first came to the cultivation world, I didn't dare to cultivate because once I did, a large amount of spiritual energy would flow into my body. Although there are many parallel layers of cultivation worlds below the Immortal World, it's very hard for Yongle to track me down in the cultivation world, so it's not easy for him to find me. If he wants to be the Immortal Emperor, then he must find me and take away the Immortal World Source energy in my body, which is the space that was passed down to me by the previous Emperor, or else he won't be able to deter the immortals in the Immortal World.”
Ling Yan scratched his head, thinking to himself: This really is like replacing a monkey king in the mountains. If the old monkey king doesn't die, the new monkey king won't be able to convince the masses! He said, ”I thought you said that the space source is used to punish immortals who violate the rules of heaven. Then why can't it punish Immortal Yongle? If your cultivation is destroyed, you can hand over the Essence of Space to the Immortal Lord of the Meng clan, and let him execute it! ”
Da Yu laughed and said, ”What do you think the spatial origin is? A celestial item? You can hand it over casually? ”
Ling Yan rubbed his nose. He knew that he was asking a silly question. It would take some effort to retrieve the Space Source after it had fused with his body. He felt a little embarrassed, as if he was slow on the uptake. Ji Xiaoqian could not help but giggle when she saw his embarrassed face being hit by three questions in a row.
