Reaching a general decision, they headed towards the lunar mountain. Shortly after, they arrived at the lunar plain before cautiously approaching the base of the mountain. After all, the whole mountainous area was the domain of a titan lord. As they moved closer to the mountain, a voice suddenly bood out from its center.
"I've been expecting you."
After feeling a gust of wind, they found themselves standing at the top of the lunar mountain. From a quick look-around of their new surroundings, they knew they were in a worldly domain. Worldly domains were the most powerful domains any cultivators could manifest on the mortal plane. They were still trying to figure out why they were teleported to where they were standing when the voice sounded again.
"I knew you will co sooner."
They were wondering where the words were coming from when a mild flick of light began to reveal a huge man sitting on a ditation mat, wearing a simple yellow robe. The wonderful shine of the man's head was of no mistaken identity. They quickly raised their cupped hands with a respectable bow.
"Greetings, titan lord Luyang."
Ju Feng, who was caught in the mont, suddenly beca aware of his situation and hurriedly followed suit, bowing deeply. He knew his body and soul, could be disintegrated by an angry titan lord before he even realized what he had done wrong. Even the thoughts of reincarnation gave him shivers.
"You have my greetings too, immortal ones."
Lord Luyang swiftly glanced at them while making a quick assessnt of their various states.
"I believe you've already figured out where you are. Yes, you are in my personal domain."
Realizing they were still standing, the titan lord gestured towards the mats that were in a semi-circle in front of him.
"Please, do have your seats.
Titan Lord Luyang waited for them to sit down before continuing.
"I guess you all want to know about my becoming. Yes, I will tell you. It's been a long ti since I've had an audience like this. Alright, from the beginning, I was created a yellow mountain. No awareness, no mind, no thoughts, and surely, no soul. Just a simple mountain. But during the rapid expansion of this universe, so much cosmic energy was released which had enormous effect on so natural things. Although not many experienced the effects, but the few that did, received the powering aftermath of the energy.
Hundreds of millions of years ago, with the passage of ti, its effects on started to manifest. I slowly began to gain awareness. I started to reason. I began asking myself many questions. What was I? Where was I? And why was I? Slowly, I began to understand, and gradually, I beca a sentient being."
Stopping temporarily, Lord Luyang looked from one face to the other. Registering their devoted attention, he nodded and continued.
"After gaining awareness, I continued to absorb the cosmic energy nonstop. Many millions of years after gaining sentience, I realized I could transform into a mortal form. That was my immortal attainnt. Unlike immortal mortals like yourselves, we titans don't cultivate since we are natural elentals. But we have our own ways to eternal life. It may be difficult and may take longer ti, but we do have titan sovereigns who have reached true eternity. I know what you are all thinking. Yes, we do ditate to gain soul enlightennt. The more the ditation, the more the awareness. The more the awareness, the more the reasoning."
With furrowed brows, the titan lord stopped and rummaged through so stored information in his mory.
"Many years after the great war, a titan king entered the void looking for the Irolon-black-star. An ultimate dark coloured core believed to exist in the void. Why was he searching for it? Did he even know its location? Up till now, we still don't know. But one thing we do know is that, there's a few ultimate cores in existence. The ones we know are the Icarion-Blue-Stone from our universe, the Iderian-Red-Orb from chaos and the Irolon-Black Star from the void."
The titan lord paused for a second as a sad distant mory ca into fore.
"The titan king was well aware of the dangers of the void. He believed he was well prepared for the forces inside it. Unfortunately, he ca across an entity he couldn't properly phantom. From the mories he left behind on the mory stone, he said the entity was of pure dark energy. Darker than the elents of shadow, but in different forms of manifestation.
They battled. However, from the manifested aura of the entity, the titan king knew it was already a lost cause. But sohow, he managed to escape with his true soul, leaving his immortal body behind in the void. Still, his soul was gravely injured during the escape. It disintegrated upon entering our universe, but not until he put the information in the mory stone.
The Nefrims[watchers] guarding one of the primordial gates were the one that saw him first, and called for the assigned celestials."
A rift appeared in the space beside the titan lord Luyang. It was indeed a spatial dinsion. They watched as a small golden jar containing what appeared to be an elixir, and six golden cups, flew out of it. In a swift invisible move, the elixir was poured into the cups, and all were served without them leaving their positions.
After downing his drink in one gulp, the titan lord continued.
"When the celestials saw the information on the mory stone, they swiftly inford the divines. And the divines imdiately identified the void entity as one of the manifestations of the Tartar-Atram. An embodint of nature that had been declared an existential threat to this universe and any other universal dinsions. It was the right declaration due to the destructive existence of the entity, and the extrely deadly atrantal energy it was using. That was the sa energy that attacked you. Might not be the sa entity, but it's the sa energy."
That was a lot of information to process for the mind of Ju Feng. From the information received, he now knew that the atrantal energy was from the void, and that the Tatra-Atram or its relatives were trying to kill him and his mother. But why? He had also co to know about a titan king who went into the void and died on coming back. Did he even find the core he was looking for? What were the cores for?
Ju Feng had so many questions to ask that he didn't even know where to start. While deliberating on the questions, he heard the voice of his mother which brought him back to the present.
"Titan lord Luyang, do you know why the demons are after us?"
Asked Zhang Xiu Ying concernedly.
"Unfortunately, I don't. But know this, the reason must be a grevious one since they don't care about the deaths of others to get to you. And that's dangerously alarming. That puts you in a serious mortal danger."
"But can they still co back here?"
"Oh, they can. And from what I've seen, they will. But I think it won't be for the ti being. By now, they must have known of my existence on this plane."
Glancing at Zhang Xiu Ying, the titan lord let out a short breath before shaking his head.
"Zhang Xiu Ying, you need to realize what you are truly capable of as a demigod. You should be much more powerful than you are now. I have a feeling about your true nature, but I will get to that later."
"Titan lord Luyang, pardon for asking this, how can we fight them?"
Zhang Li Qiang asked with a little reservation due to the prolong mont of silence from the titan lord.
"Absolute power is all you need. Although powerful elental energies are needed to fight an enemy like this, you simply need to be more powerful. If you are, you won't need to fear the atrantal energy in this universe. Why? because their power is limited here in this universe due to the protection of the Alpheron core."
The titan Lord paused to look at their comprehensive faces and smiled before continuing.
"You live in that ancient cave at the outskirt of the village, don't you? Make good use of what you have."
