Chapter 197 Tianyuan Great Monarch, Opening the Immortal Treasure
A long long time ago, a great war between the immortals and the demons took place in the mortal realm. It shattered the sky and crushed the land. After the war, 90% of the mortal world was ruined.
Blood was flowing like a river, and there was heap after heap of dead bodies.
After the great war, an immortal descended on the mortal world. Seeing that the mortal world was in shambles, he created the Tianyuan School to prevent the world from falling into ruin as well as to preserve humankind.
The school remained absolutely neutral, and they refrained from participating in any disputes or conflicts.
They welcomed all humans to come and cultivate in the school, but the disciples of the Sacred Lands were not allowed to become their core disciples.
“Then how about this time? Many Sacred Lands have opened the immortal gates and many immortals are descending. They’re going to attack and obliterate this mortal world, so what will the school do?” Jiang Ming asked.
It went without saying that he would not believe it entirely. However, such a statement indeed had appeared in his “status,” but it was too general.
“The school can protect the people in Zhong Province!” Liu Changkong said.
“Protect Zhong Province?” Jiang Ming frowned.
He activated the Dharma Eyes and scanned Zhong Province. Then, he discovered there were spatial nodes in all four directions, each with a terrifying aura. When he tried to look into it, he felt a chill down his spine.
Liu Changkong nodded. “When that happens, I think the mortal world is beyond saving.”
He did not explain more, and Jiang Ming did not press on. Instead, he turned around and left.
He did not have any reason to attack the Tianyuan School or the Yantian Zhong. The Yantian Zhong only yearned for immortality. They did not participate in any of the fights, so Jiang Ming did not have any reason to attack them either.
Both Ye Ming and Liu Changkong couldn’t come to their senses for a long while. “I can’t believe that he has the ability to wipe out so many immortals and Sacred Lands. Sir, am I still dreaming?”
“I think I’m dreaming too. This is too unbelievable. But it’s a bl;essing for us that such a person exists in our world. Once the Sacred Lands are gone, it would be hard for those immortals to come to our world.”
“True. It’s a blessing for us as well as the mortal world that so many Sacred Lands are gone. But, sir,I’m afraid that the destruction of many Sacred Lands would lead to some chaos. Should we do something about it?”
“Yeah, we should. We need to guide them. Besides, pass on an order to the sects across the world and tell them that they shouldn’t attack normal people.
“There is no good or evil among cultivators, but they must not bring the ordinary people into play. However, now is the best time to set some rules! Haha, this is a blessing for all the people across the world!”
Chuyang Peak.
After Jiang Ming had returned, he threw himself on the rattan chair and let out a long sigh.
Hua Huo and the other three flower fairies fluttered their wings and came to his side. They began wiping his face with a towel, or fetching him water and fruits.
“You’re the best, senior brother!” Linglong shouted happily before landing beside him. She peeled a piece of orange and popped it into Jiang Ming’s mouth, “Not only did you kill those immortals, but you also had destroyed those Sacred Lands. No one in history has ever done that before. Senior brother, you’re the first one!”
“I just want to enjoy the sun, but they don’t allow me to. So I have no other choice but to kill them all,” Jiang Ming said, “I’d like to see who has the guts to bother me again.” “You killed them all just because you wanted to enjoy the sun? That’s one hell of a good reason,” Linglong chuckled.
Xi Yao, who was standing at the side, had a complicated expression on her face.
The man in front of her had slain the immortals and destroyed the Sacred Lands.
“Do you hate me?” Jiang Ming cocked his head and asked Xi Yao.
“Should I?” Xi Yao smiled bitterly, “It’s true that you’ve destroyed the Riyue Sect, but I should thank you for sparing my master and me. If not, no one would be able to inherit the Riyue Sect.
“Brother Jiang, Linglong, I guess it’s time for me to go. Thank you for everything so far.”
Xi Yao said as she rose into the air.
“Go ahead!” Jiang Ming nodded, “You can always come back whenever you want. I’ll keep the house for you.”
Xi Yao nodded and went away.
“Senior brother, you have already lost your only chance to sleep with her,” Linglong teased.
“Well, I’m satisfied with ten of you,” Jiang Ming replied.
“Really? You’re not lying, right?”
“Of course, I’m not.”
“I don’t believe it! Let’s go, senior brother. I want to test if you’re telling the truth or not.”
“How are you going to test that?”
“It depends on how hard you work!”
“What?”
Three days later, Jiang Ming returned to the rooftop.
He looked into the sky and rubbed his back.
He turned around and looked at Taiyang Peak. He remembered something and sent a message to the sect master, telling him to prepare since the Eastern Region will fall into chaos after all Sacred Lands had been destroyed as well as to move everyone out of Taiyang Peak.
When the sect master received the message, he was first taken aback before he leapt into joy.
“The Qingyun Sect is gone? I’ve been receiving news that big things are happening in the world outside. I thought it was just a rumor, but it turned out to be real! Haha, now that the Qingyun Sect is gone, it’s time for the Jiuyang Sect to shine!” He laughed.
As for the second part of the message, he had no objection to leaving Taiyang Peak.
Very soon, all the disciples on Taiyang Peak were relocated to another location. Jiang Ming landed on Taiyang Peak, followed by Linglong and her nine clones.
Immediately after, they came to a spatial node, a little globe of light between reality and illusion, below the Jiuyang Sect.
If they did not wield the True Illusion Dao or the Spatial Law, they wouldn’t be able to notice it.
“Let me do it!”
Spatial Linglong took a step forward and shattered the seal. The globe of light glowed brightly before turning into a door. She walked into it, followed by Jiang Ming and Linglong Five Elemental Linglong stayed outside to guard the surroundings.
As soon as he stepped into the door, Jiang Ming felt a strong pressure on him as well as an immense amount of violent aura in the air.
It was a spacious area.
The sky was blood red and the land was brown.
There were bones and corpses littered all over the space as well as divine light that seemed to be glowing for an eternity.
“Senior brother, upon reaching the Golden Immortal Realm, one would become impossible to be destroyed,” Linglong said as she enveloped Jiang Ming in a light barrier. She pointed at a dead body and continued, “That’s the corpse of a Golden Immortal. It should be indestructive, but it’s decaying and withering away. Do you know what happened, senior brother?”
“Is it being eroded by the blood and violent qi in this space?” Jiang Ming replied.
“Exactly! Although the Golden Immortal is indestructible, they can be eroded by many other powers or forces until they finally vanish into oblivion,” Linglong said, “In the land of inheritance, I’ve read a lot of books and scrolls so I know what is going on. This place should be the place where the great war happened 10,000 years ago. Many of these dead bodies are the Golden Immortals, which shows how great and cruel the war was.”
“How can a battlefield of this scale appear here?”
“There’s only one reason, senior brother. The original location where the great war happened was wrecked and it fell into the depths of space and time, merging into one of the spatial nodes of our world. Perhaps those great monarchs from the immortal worlds noticed it, so they sent immortals into our world, trying to seize control of the situation here. However, for some real Great Monarchs, they might not care about it since it’s just a ruin. Only those who’re in between will want to explore it. Perhaps there are some treasures here.”
As they were talking, they continued to move forward. What Linglong was talking about was nothing but her own speculation.
Suddenly, both of them stopped and looked at a stone monument beside them, and their eyes widened.
“The stone monument contains the supreme dao fluctuation that suppresses the spatial node that leads to the outside of this place,” Linglong said as she frowned, “Look, senior brother. There is a message on top of it. A divine monument sealing the ancient battlefield. Entering is allowed, but exit is prohibited. The one who left this message is Tianyuan Great Monarch.”
Linglong said, “Entering is allowed, but exit is prohibited. No wonder no one can come to disturb the Jiuyang Sect this whole time, so they have all been suppressed. Anyway, don’t worry, senior brother. I’ve checked it, and we can go out after coming.
“As for this Tianyuan Great Monarch…” Linglong continued, “Our world is known as the Tianyuan Continent, so could it be related to this guy?”
“I’ve been to the Tianyuan School, and Liu Changkong told me that the Tianyuan School was created by an immortal, so I guess it must be him. It truly surprises me to find that he has come here before in the past and suppressed the violent souls here to prevent them from escaping,” Jiang Ming said.
After they had finished studying the stone monument, they continued to move forward.
Spatial Linglong, who was standing at the front of the group, raised her hand and a ray of light beamed out of her finger. A soul then appeared from a broken jade on the ground in front of them and vanished into thin air.
“I can’t believe some of the souls are still here after such a long time. Unfortunately, they won’t have a good ending in such a place where evil energy fills the air!” Spatial Linglong said as she continued to move forward.
The land was barren and filled with many holes. They would come across a blood pool formed by the blood of the fallen experts from time to time. These pools were filled with so much evil energy that it even bred immensely powerful blood spirits that danced and screamed on the lake.
“These blood spirits are powerful. Their strength is on par with an Imminent Immortal expert. Unfortunately, they can’t leave the blood pool and they aren’t sentient.”
Spatial Linglong waved her hand and destroyed the blood pool.
At the same time, she was also collecting items that were still left intact.
Suddenly, Jiang Ming felt something in front of him and he was stunned.
