Chapter 144 - The Wandering Flame Race (1/2)

“The Yu Feng Immortal Territory is not an immortal territory left behind by the ancient divine beings, like we thought. It’s just where my Wandering Flame race lives.”

“And the Ten Directions Divine Armament is not some weapon left behind by divine beings. It’s just a valuable weapon that my lineage created. It was meant to subdue this immortal territory to keep order and stability.”

“My ancestors lived in a world of utter turmoil. This immortal territory was put together by the generations of hard work of my ancestors. Although it is located far away from the three thousand realms, it managed to formed an entire universe on its own. My ancestors were born with very special powers – they could create objects out of condensed Qi. My lineage was born with the ability to create objects out of Qi.”

“But because of this power, we attracted disaster upon ourselves. The weapons that we created became stronger and stronger and became in-built with the ability to destroy the world and create another. Because of this, my bloodline threatened the Three Realms.”

“The immortal Qi contained in the immortal realm in the ancient times was different from the present – there was almost as much immortal Qi then as in the divine realm. Immortals and divine beings fought at times. The Immortal Emperors in the immortal realm sought help from my ancestors, to create a weapon that would be able to subdue the divine race.”

“My ancestors did not respond, but they did create a few weapons that were strong enough to defeat the divine beings. This greatly angered the divine beings. Naturally, they began to attack my ancestors. My ancestors had the help of the weapons they created, but they were too few nevertheless. Of course, they were not strong enough to fight the divine beings. The battle was extremely devastating – the entire Yu Feng Immortal Territory was destroyed. My ancestors were almost wiped out. Only a few of my ancestors managed to escape the three thousand realms.”

“That was how the Yu Feng Immortal Territory got exiled to the immortal realm. My ancestors fought to survive by sealing their abilities in their meridians- they were thus able to avoid the divine beings, who tried to come after them. They longed for the day that their descendants, upon becoming Immortal Emperors, would be able to return to this land and restore their former glory. But the majority of the people from my bloodline who were able to escape ran to the mortal realm instead. The spirit Qi in the immortal realm was thin and it was difficult for them to ascend to immortality, much less unlock the meridians.”

“I, too, unlocked the memories in my meridians by chance a hundred thousand years ago. That was how I found the Winter Spirit leaves to get me past the Lishui River. It was also because of those memories that I knew the situation within the immortal territory.”

“Although all of this happened in ancient times, the original Wandering Flames race was probably similar to me – akin to the average person. But I still want to find my ancestors. This Six-Joint Mystics Sword is actually the cornerstone of this immortal territory. It is also the key that can unlock my ancestors’ meridians. Only with it can we awaken my ancestors’ memories.”

“Now you understand why I must retrieve this sword, right?”

Xun Shu finished telling the entire story and took in a deep breath. He looked up at his three companions worriedly.

“Holy shit! Shen Ying, you foodie, you should have left me some dishes, right? Aren’t you afraid that you would choke to death by eating so quickly?”

“I left you some.”

“Left my ass! Apart from green peppers, leeks and garlic, is there anything else in this bowl? Where’s all the meat?”

“Don’t be picky!”

“What cheek you have to be saying this! Wait… Yi Qing, you bootlicker, put down that pastry!”

“I made it!”

“Shit!”

The three of them fought like this over food for a long time, and nobody paid Xun Shu any attention.

Xun Shu: “…”

He felt something in his brain snap. What was it!

Flips table!

(╯‵□′)╯(┻━┻

Was anyone listening to him? Could they not show him some respect?

He must have been blind to attempt being honest with this bunch!
