Chapter 829: Traitors are in the first three rows! (2/2)
Since it was about the Immortal King, Senior Immortal Xiaoyao could not answer it directly, thus he answered it with another question, “Just now, I said there are laws that are the principles of heaven and earth, and no one can go against it. So do you think that even in the Immortal World, can anyone break the supreme law and achieve true immortality? What are the consequences of forcibly trying to break through the supreme law?”
When he heard these questions, Wang Lu immediately understood.
No one could live forever, even the Immortal King cannot break the restraint of this supreme law. His struggle was just futile, but it has caused various side effects. For example, Yanluo’s inhuman life form might be one of the side effects. At the same time, Senior Immortal Poxu thought that Xia Yu just possessed his own blood descendant. However, Yanluo’s experience proved that the scope of the Immortal King’s attack had been expanded for a long time, so…
“Is there no objection? How could the Xia Family never speak out about it? Was Yanluo willing to be used as a vessel for the Immortal King?”
Senior Immortal Xiaoyao then asked another question, “Why do you think I have to split my consciousness to come here? Why do you think I can read the information on the fragment of the Gate of All Realms?”
In Wang Lu’s mind, another mist was dispelled.
He split his consciousness because he wanted to do this in secret. He forcibly closed the two-worlds passage by using the power from his real body for others to see, while secretly he split his consciousness. And why could he read the fragment of the Gate of All Realms… Of course, it was because the Gate of All Realms passed through the hands of Senior Immortal Xiaoyao after it was transported back to the Immortal World by Xia Yu.
Since Senior Immortal Xiaoyao could read the information on it, of course, he ought to be able to detect what Wang Lu did to it. If he could remind the Immortal King in time… no, it should be said that since even he could detect the abnormality on the fragment, Xia Yu should be able to also. But in the end, Xia Yu was still severely damaged by the self explosion of the fragment of the Gate of All Realms. So, what did this mean? Has Senior Immortal Xiaoyao done something in it?
The answer seemed to be self-evident.
Wang Lu’s heart rate began to accelerate slightly.
The news brought by Senior Immortal Xiaoyao was too unexpected. If it was true, this almost desperate war would finally usher in the greatest dawn.
However, the matter was so important that it was impossible to easily trust it.
Wang Lu asked, “Why do you want to tell me this? You are a Senior Immortal, so I think you shouldn’t have to worry about being possessed, right?”
This was also inferred from previous experience. Previously, among the several Immortals that had come before, Canglan had been studied for fifteen years, so the mystery of a Senior Immortal could also be seen at a glance. However, Wang Lu never found that his body composition was similar to that of Yanluo. In addition, there was no sign of being possessed until his death. Only Xia Xiaohe and Yanluo, the two Immortals under the rank of Senior Immortal, had been possessed by Xia Yu.
Senior Immortal Xiaoyao smiled when he heard those words and raised an almost irrelevant question: “In your imagination, what should the Immortal World look like?”
Wang Lu said, “For most cultivators, it’s a place where countless ideals converge.”
“In fact, the Immortal World was once brilliant.” Senior Immortal Xiaoyao’s tone was flat and light, but it continued to reveal sadness, “The Immortal World in its heyday was second to none in the world. Even the gods of the Western Continent had to bow down to the Immortal World. But now, there are no more than a hundred Immortals, and the Immortal World has nearly fallen. They even have to place their hope in the lower realm. What do you think is the cause of this big gap?”
When he heard this, Wang Lu almost gasped.
There was only one answer to Senior Immortal Xiaoyao’s question: the Immortal King needed to take responsibility for all this!
If it was carefully considered, everything seemed to be reasonable. An Immortal King who was old and delusional about immortality. A ghost father who used all means, by hook or by crook, to extend his life that he didn’t even let go of his own daughter. Under the leadership of such a person, how could the Immortal World not be in decline?
The supreme law of heaven and earth could not be violated. The longer a person lived, the higher the price for prolonging the life when it was about to die. If the Immortal King had already reached the end of his life, then the price of maintaining his life would be…
And thus, the purpose of Senior Immortal Xiaoyao’s trip was clearly revealed!
“Do you want to use me to get rid of the Immortal King, this greatest evil? That’s a good intention. And I’m very interested. Then…”
“Then now, please do your best.” Senior Immortal Xiaoyao said and then stretched his hand back. At the same time, a gap appeared once again in the two-worlds passage.
“I am an Immortal, a loyal minister of the Immortal King, I will not cooperate with you in anything.” Senior Immortal Xiaoyao seriously said, “If you have any unreasonable expectations, it will only waste what little hope you have left.”
Wang Lu said, “There’s no need for you to remind me of this. I don’t believe any of you, and I will not let go of any of you. I will end you all and you can die in peace.”
“Heh, your tone is not small. Then, I’ll wait and see.”
With that, Xiaoyao lifted up Yanluo’s remaining body and then flashed through the gap in the space barrier.
The next moment, the voice from Spirit Sword Mountain sounded again.
“Wang Lu, when will you be back? We almost can’t hold it!”
