"Here is..."
After a period of dizziness, the scene in front of Lu Chuan changed dramatically, the forest shadows turned into a vast wasteland, with ruins and broken walls as far as the eye could see, all desolate and decayed.
At the limit of his vision, Lu Chuan clearly saw a skeletal structure coiled atop the entire mountain peak, looking like the corpse of a dragon or serpent, so enormous it seed capable of crushing the entire mountain.
A sense of desolation sprouted from the bottom of his heart, instantly affecting Lu Chuan with waves of sorrow.
"So, this is the Immortal Realm? It’s so different from what I imagined..."
Lu Chuan had thought, even after all these years, the Immortal Realm should still be vibrant. How could it be so desolate?
"Tower Spirit, can you see the scene in front of ?"
Lu Chuan instinctively reached for the little tower on his waist, but was disappointed to find an empty spot. He quickly lowered his head and saw the little tower had disappeared, only to notice it a thousand ters away, resting on a corpse.
"Tower Spirit? Are you... are you alright?"
"I... I recognize him."
The Tower Spirit’s voice trembled, speaking word by word, "When I ascended to the Immortal Realm back then, I fought against him."
Lu Chuan followed suit and looked, only to see a headless dry corpse, whose skin and flesh, though not rotten, had beco rough under years of weathering.
"Did you... did you win?"
"It was a draw, his strength was imnse, making him highly skilled in Thunder Skill, his physical body extrely strong, we fought for three days without reaching a conclusion, he eventually let go, no longer stopping ."
ntioning past affairs to the Tower Spirit was like recounting the story of a stranger, it had been so long, so mories had gradually beco vague, and without careful recollection, it’s indeed hard to rember.
"How did the Immortal Realm beco like this?"
"I thought you would know."
"No, I... when I left the Immortal Realm, it never showed signs of destruction."
The Tower Spirit erged from the tower body, stepping once more onto this place she had longed for, only to find everything had changed, the forr glory of Empress Wu Zong gone, the Immortal Realm too had decayed into ruins.
"What exactly happened?"
"In any case, let’s walk around first, see if we can find any clues."
Lu Chuan exhaled deeply, burying the headless corpse and erecting a naless tombstone, and under the guidance of the Tower Spirit, ventured north.
The dry corpse and Lu Chuan sought the Ten Thousand Demon Spirits, the treasure of the Zhu Ge Immortal Family of the Northern Continent, refined from the spirits of thousands of Great Demons, feared to be the most ruinous and dangerous treasure in the world, the Tower Spirit in her lifeti had battled Zhuge Family’s immortals, in front of the Ten Thousand Demon Spirits, the Demon Suppression Pagoda fell short countless tis.
"It seems, you have already reached the Immortal Realm."
While Lu Chuan still mulled over the present scene of the Immortal Realm in confusion, the dry corpse’s husky voice sounded in his ear.
"Can you reach ?"
"Although it’s a bit troubleso, it’s not a problem."
"How did the Immortal Realm beco like this? What actually happened back then?"
"Soone slaughtered all the immortals in the Immortal Realm, even severing the Immortal Path, with the Immortal Path broken, the immortal presence gone, the Immortal Realm naturally perished."
Listening to the dry corpse’s nonchalant recount, Lu Chuan felt even more puzzled.
"How... how is this possible?"
"I found it unlikely too, if not for narrowly escaping, I might have ended like those skeletons in the tomb. Lu Chuan, what you seek is within the Zhuge Family, but after so many years, without Zhuge Family’s suppression, the Ten Thousand Demon Spirits likely have taken form, you best be careful.
You have only one year, if you obtain the Ten Thousand Demon Spirits, I can prolong your life, if you fail to obtain it, there’s no chance your Sea of Consciousness can be repaired."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan’s face turned grim, softly said, "You didn’t ntion this before."
"Fortunes always co with risks, as a cultivator, you should understand this truth, go ahead, seek fortune, obtain the Ten Thousand Demon Spirits, I will repair your Sea of Consciousness."
...
anwhile, on Earth.
Mr. Lu traversed that door, finally returning to Exotic Realm Space, after a slight stretch, he wasted no ti in returning to Earth imdiately.
The mont Mr. Lu’s aura appeared, Old Master Situ on the Profound Sect suddenly opened his eyes, a hint of delight flashed through the worldly giant eyes.
"He’s back!"
"Grandpa, who’s back?"
Situ Qinghuan furrowed her brows, puzzled, "Is it... has Lu Chuan returned?"
"Probably not... it’s Lu Chuan’s grandfather’s aura, the old fellow, his presence seems slightly stronger, now he’s likely half a step into the Tribulation Crossing Realm, Qinghuan stay in the sect, I will et my old friend."
Saying that, Old Master Situ vanished abruptly before his precious granddaughter could speak.
Watching the scattering remnant shadow, Situ Qinghuan secretly sighed.
"Lu Chuan... when will you return?"
Counting the days, it’s been a month since Lu Chuan left, during this period there has been no contact, life or death unknown, Situ Qinghuan has been on edge daily, yet there’s nothing she can do.
Since Lu Chuan departed, they spent a month clearing the Ancient Demon Beasts left by Empress Wu Zong under the joint forces of the Martial Alliance and Penglai Immortal Domain, also tackling those two Unification Realm Experts, Kong Yuanliang fortunately broke through the Integration Realm sitting in the Immortal Realm.
A long-lost peace finally returned, the lives of the won also returned to their paths.
