The Immortal Realm, it turned out, was indeed so beautiful.
Precisely because Lu Chuan had witnessed the destruction of the Immortal Realm, he cherished the beauty he saw now all the more.
Mist swirled, cranes hovered, and wherever the eye could see, all was immaculate and beautiful.
Empress Wu Zong sacrificed her own power, shattering millennia of ti, to send Lu Chuan to the bygone Immortal Realm. Yet, Empress Wu Zong left forever, as she had to bear the backlash from the river of ti. Her physical body rapidly disintegrated, and the laws of the Demon Suppression Pagoda were extinguished. The souls of the eight Demon Kings sealed within it scattered to nothing, securing an incredibly precious opportunity for Lu Chuan, a chance for redemption.
Without the Tower Spirit’s guidance, without the help of the Dry Corpse, Lu Chuan appeared so bewildered.
In the first decade, Lu Chuan never knew what he ought to do. He rely road the Immortal Realm, behaving like a Loose Cultivator, leisurely traveling about, and in the process, made several friends.
Relying on the knowledge he mastered in later generations, Lu Chuan would leave a poem every ti he drank himself into a drunken stupor, poems that were often recited by many in the Immortal Realm, earning Lu Chuan the title of Poet Immortal. The Family Head of the Zhuge Family treated Lu Chuan as a distinguished guest, and the Turquoise Pool hosted special banquets in his honor, with Yaochi Fairy expressing her feelings for Lu Chuan openly.
Alas, all this was but a mirage. Though Lu Chuan shattered the river of ti to return to the Immortal Realm of old, his roots ultimately remained on Earth. In the end, Lu Chuan politely declined Yaochi Fairy’s affection, leaving behind a poem before departing the Turquoise Pool. Never again, regardless of others’ requests, could anyone persuade Lu Chuan to compose even a line of poetry.
In the second decade, a prodigy unexpectedly appeared in the Immortal Realm. No one knew his true na or what he truly looked like, as he always wore a plain white mask on his face. Even while drinking with friends, no one had seen his true appearance. People encountered him and called him Banished Immortal, and over ti, Banished Immortal seed to beco his na.
The Banished Immortal had exceptional talent. Although he was born to a declining family, he showcased incredible abilities, advancing from Qi Cultivation to the Tribulation Crossing Realm in just ten years, an unprecedented feat even in this Immortal Realm.
Whenever people discussed the Banished Immortal, soone would inevitably compare him to Lu Chuan, calling them both unparalleled prodigies, for Lu Chuan, besides poetry, had also demonstrated formidable combat power.
Lu Chuan was naturally very curious about this Banished Immortal, so he invited him to a duel under the guise of drinking together.
That battle, rembered fondly in the Immortal Realm even decades later, saw the two fight on Fenglang Mountain for three days and nights without clear victory, leading to their becoming the closest of friends.
Another ten years passed, and Lu Chuan gradually forgot the purpose of coming to the Immortal Realm after shattering the river of ti.
Here, he indulged in pleasure and was revered by many.
Lu Chuan found it hard to forget his forr life, but with the successive departures of the Dry Corpse and Wuzhong, he couldn’t see his path clearly.
That year, Yaochi Fairy still could not forget Lu Chuan. After a battle with the Wine Immortal left Lu Chuan seriously injured, Yaochi Fairy personally ca forward, taking Lu Chuan from the Wine Immortal’s grasp. For three years, she stayed by his side, day in, day out, setting aside her dignity and pride as Yaochi Fairy, just to grow old with Lu Chuan.
The greatest challenge is to repay a beauty’s deep affection. Lu Chuan remained at the Turquoise Pool and had a grand wedding with Yaochi Fairy, causing a stir across the entire Immortal Realm. Yaochi Fairy invited all the world’s powers to attend their wedding. Lu Chuan temporarily let go of his past, staying by Yaochi Fairy’s side, and they had a daughter and a son.
Thus, a century had passed since coming to the Immortal Realm.
In this hundred years, Lu Chuan had never t that person, the one who held his destiny, who severed the Immortal Path, and then charged him with the mission to restore it.
In the second century, Lu Chuan finally broke through to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, becoming a True Immortal. He and Yaochi Fairy’s daughter beca the most beautiful woman in the Immortal Realm, even surpassing Yaochi Fairy slightly.
Their son inherited Lu Chuan’s talent. Though not as stunning as the Banished Immortal, he beca a Tribulation-crosser at less than seventy, suggesting everything was moving toward a better direction.
Until the arrival of the third century.
Unexpectedly, Lu Chuan encountered a familiar face. Though flourishing at the ti, imdiately standing out upon ascending to the Immortal Realm, Lu Chuan recognized at first sight the man who, without a doubt, pulled him back from the Gates of Hell in the Life Forbidden Zone: the Dry Corpse!
Now going by the na Yan Yang, he had no recollection of anything between him and Lu Chuan, which greatly surprised Lu Chuan.
This Yan Yang, having none of Lu Chuan’s mories, did it not an that all had indeed occurred, signifying that the Immortal Path had been severed and the cycle of reincarnation begun once more?
But if it were so, then... who was he himself?
Lu Chuan grew increasingly confused, to the point of doubting his own existence until he received word of Yan Yang’s death. The Immortal Abandoned People suddenly mounted a counterattack, and the Evil Spirits rose in a surprise assault. Over the next three hundred years, Lu Chuan stayed at the Turquoise Pool, simultaneously fighting against the Immortal Abandoned People and resisting the large-scale invasion of the Evil Spirits.
In the ninety-fifth year of the Immortal War, Lu Chuan and Yaochi Fairy’s son died in battle, surrounded and killed by the Immortal Abandoned People, sending Lu Chuan into a rage. He went to the Outer Domain alone, confronting six Immortal Lords, and though severely injured, he slew all six who had a hand in his son’s death.
In the one hundred and seventh year of the Immortal War, Lu Chuan’s daughter, Lu Yao, was corrupted by Evil Spirits. Searching the entire Immortal Realm, Lu Chuan could find no way to drive out the Evil Spirits, only able to helplessly watch his daughter sink step by step until she fully beca one of them.
In the two hundred and seventeenth year of the war, an internal betrayal within the Immortal Realm severely injured Yaochi Fairy, and by the ti Lu Chuan arrived, she was barely clinging to life. Despite his best efforts, he couldn’t save her. Hundreds of years as husband and wife ended with her scattering into starlight in his arms.
Lu Chuan despaired.
His wife, his second daughter, all had perished in this struggle, their souls entirely obliterated.
It was the first ti in over seven hundred years that Lu Chuan felt so disillusioned with the Immortal Realm.
Once the seeds of destruction began to sprout, there was no stopping them.
Thus, with Ichikazu’s strength alone, Lu Chuan annihilated all the forces within the Immortal Realm, forging hundreds of Immortal Bodies into the Immortal Slayer Sword and with a desperate strike, severed the Immortal Path.
With the Immortal Path severed and celestial secrets shattered, the remaining people’s power regressed, leaving them unable to withstand the invasion of the Immortal Abandoned People and Evil Spirits. It was then that Lu Chuan finally realized, there had never been any Three Lifetis, that it all arose because of him.
He personally cut off the Immortal Path and severed celestial secrets. Lu Chuan was filled with remorse, unable to part with the mories of his beloveds, and so, at the cost of losing all his cultivation, he left behind a seed.
