What is an immortal?

Chapter 992: Destiny


"Yan Emperor, acting so swiftly against Su Wu, isn't it a bit hasty?" Mountain Emperor's voice was rough, carrying some doubt.

"No matter, he is merely the least conspicuous of the three embryos. Even if there's some loss, it won't affect the overall situation. Star Emperor, do you have any new information on your side?" Yan Emperor smiled slightly, speaking with indifference:

After speaking, his gaze turned to the woman in white.

Star Emperor's expression was indifferent, and her voice was crisp like a spring: "The Demon Son has brought back the Three Realms Immortal Boat."

"Good, then let's go investigate." Yan Emperor said.

As his words fell, the figures of the three flickered and disappeared from the spot.

In the next instant, the three were in a massive valley.

This valley was wide and deep, with the surface exposed with black rock, as if stripped bare by the relentless passage of time, presenting a desolate and ancient atmosphere.

Outside the valley, dense black mist swirled, like a natural barrier, blocking the view of the outside world.

Inside the valley, in the central flat and open area, a gigantic silver formation stood prominently.

This formation was pentagonal, surrounded by seventy-two sky-reaching demon pillars, responding to the void crystal stones on the ground, emitting a faint light.

As if countless eyes, those crystals silently watched everything within the formation, making one's scalp tingle.

At the five corners of the formation, each had a half-human height altar.

On the altars, dense demonic qi rolled, and five Demon Clan Mahayana cultivators were sitting cross-legged, focusing on maintaining the operation of the great array.

Among them, was the Reincarnation Demon Lord.

Under the combined efforts of the five, a gigantic silver bubble gradually formed in the void.

Inside the bubble, a silver giant boat hundreds of feet long was quietly floating, it was the legendary Three Realms Immortal Boat.

Beside the Immortal Boat, a massive silver giant fish was floating. It looked similar to a whale but appeared listless, as if it had lost its vitality.

Yan Emperor's gaze was as sharp as a torch, sweeping over the giant boat and the silver fish, then walked to the Reincarnation Demon Lord's side, and asked in a deep voice: "Is the delivery matter completed?"

The Reincarnation Demon Lord respectfully replied: "Reporting to Yan Emperor, the delivery is complete. All four Reincarnation Seeds have been successfully delivered to the Chuyun Realm without anyone noticing."

"Well done, you must always be cautious and not expose your whereabouts." Yan Emperor, hearing this, nodded, satisfied, and said.

After speaking, his gaze again turned to the silver giant fish.

He raised his hand and grabbed the void, and the fish's eyes suddenly turned, a "thump, thump" beating black heart flew out from its body, flying towards Yan Emperor.

As the heart approached Yan Emperor's body, it flashed with a dark light and merged into his body.

Immediately after, the body of the silver giant fish began to shrink rapidly, eventually transforming into a hunchbacked man.

This man was Jiang Liu.

Jiang Liu fell with difficulty at Yan Emperor's feet, weakly asking: "Father, how did I do this time?"

At this moment, he appeared dispirited, with a declining aura, looking like a withered and decrepit figure close to death.

"You completed this mission quite well." Yan Emperor gently stroked Jiang Liu's head, a loving smile on his face.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Liu was filled with joy, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

However, this satisfaction did not last long, as his head suddenly tilted, and he passed out.

Yan Emperor's expression remained unchanged, his gaze then shifting to the quietly floating Three Realms Immortal Boat.

His divine thought gently probed inside it, but in the next moment, his face suddenly changed, as if covered in frost.

"Where is the World Tree? Why is there no trace of the World Tree in this Immortal Boat?" Yan Emperor's voice revealed strands of coldness.

He looked down at Jiang Liu, who was unconscious on the ground, a hint of confusion and anger flashing in his eyes.

But at this moment, Jiang Liu could not respond to his question.

The anger in Yan Emperor's heart instantly ignited, he shouted violently: "Useless!"

Then he suddenly raised a foot and stomped hard on Jiang Liu's body.

With a "boom", Jiang Liu's body exploded under Yan Emperor's foot, like an overripe watermelon, flesh and blood flew everywhere.

The Reincarnation Demon Lord, seeing this, was shocked in his heart, quickly raising his hand and shooting out a blood light.

In mid-air, the blood light transformed into a six-sided disk, with six black holes distributed on it, each surrounded by complex runes.

In one of the holes, light burst forth, forming a spinning vortex, sucking in Jiang Liu's shattered body and the flying flesh around.

Soon after, the runes on the disk lit up one by one, emitting brilliant light.

Before long, light sprayed from another hole, and a human figure flew out, heavily falling to the ground.

The person was naked, with a hunched back, it was Jiang Liu.

At this moment, his body had returned to its original state, the previous state of decline swept away, looking full of vitality.

However, he remained unconscious.

Yan Emperor coldly swept a glance at Jiang Liu, the anger in his heart had already subsided a lot.

He did not blame the Reincarnation Demon Lord for saving him, after all, Jiang Liu still had value to be used.

He turned to Mountain Emperor and said: "Collect materials as soon as possible to repair this Three Realms Immortal Boat. The day the Wentian Secret Realm opens will be our chance to completely take over the Chuyun Realm. At that time, we will advance to higher realms and conquer more lands."

The Mountain Emperor responded in a deep voice, "Alright."

As soon as the words were spoken, the black mist shrouding the outside of the valley suddenly dissipated, revealing the scene beyond.

Outside the valley entrance was a vast plain, filled with countless Demon Clan cultivators.

These Demon Clan cultivators had strong auras and powerful cultivation.

Among them, there were as many as ten Dharma Phase Cultivators, and several Body Cultivators who had refined the Fiery Sun Body.

Behind them were hundreds of Dharma manifestation Stage cultivators, Body Cultivators with the Undying Body, and Soul Cultivators of the Realm of Life Witch.

And beyond these people were countless Demon Clan warriors, arranged neatly, forming a formidable military array.

"Flatten Chuyun! Conquer all realms!" someone shouted, starting the slogan.

The entire plain instantly resounded with a thunderous roar: "Flatten Chuyun! Conquer all realms!"

This sound persisted, seeming to make the entire heaven and earth tremble.

...

In the blink of an eye, twenty years passed swiftly like flowing water.

Through years of management, White Emperor City had long since restored its former prosperity and bustle, the streets were crowded, filled with clamoring voices, and the people lived in peace, enjoying the beauty of a peaceful era.

The heat of midsummer was like ruthless flames, mercilessly scorching the land. White Emperor City, which hadn't seen rain for over three months, was steaming with heat, as if set to evaporate all life.

The cultivators of the City Lord Mansion, gazing at the scorching sun in the sky, were anxiously discussing whether to perform spells to attract clouds and bring rain, to relieve the people's suffering.

At that moment, a disc-shaped black cloud seemed to drift slowly from the horizon, silently covering the skies above the City Lord Mansion.

"Ha, what a coincidence, just as we were discussing rainmaking, the cloud came on its own," Hua Zhi chuckled lightly, her words filled with joy and anticipation.

As soon as she spoke, she realized something was wrong.

The black cloud was no ordinary cloud, it churned with unusual intensity, the thick clouds spreading rapidly like ink, covering the entire sky of White Emperor City in an instant.

The people and cultivators in the city initially thought that the much-anticipated rain was finally coming.

They cheered, looking forward to the refreshing rain that would wash away the oppressive heat.

As time passed, they realized things were not as they seemed.

The cloud grew thicker and the wind blew harder, yet no rain fell.

However, the thick cloud did block the scorching sun, making the city considerably cooler.

Amidst the uncertainty, the sky suddenly filled with intense Yin Qi.

The already dark cloud became even heavier, as if it were about to swallow the entire sky.

The sun's light was completely blocked, plunging White Emperor City into darkness.

The sudden change terrified the people in the city, who hurried home, fearing the work of demons.

Some highly cultivated cultivators stood at high vantage points, watching the turbulent clouds, a vague unease rising in their hearts.

At that moment, a silver glow suddenly shone from within the dense cloud.

A massive silver round moon slowly emerged. Although the glow was dim, it exuded a mysterious power.

The round moon seemed to possess a certain magical power, with beams of silver moonlight piercing the void, shining straight down on a location within the City Lord Mansion.

And that place was precisely where Yuan Ming was in closed cultivation.

At this moment, Yuan Ming sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion, eyes closed and deeply focused.

In his hand, the Moon God Ring emitted a gentle light, resonating with the round moon in the sky.

As the silver-white moonlight power descended, Yuan Ming's entire body was enveloped in a hazy light and shadow.

Those strands of silver-white light transformed into specks of floating light, slowly merging into his body.

His divine soul drifted out from the sea of consciousness, hovering above his head.

The seven spirits, transformed into seven phantoms, coninuously absorbed the moonlight power outside the divine soul, gradually becoming more substantial.

As the refinement of the seven spirits was completed, the phantoms merged back, uniting with the divine soul.

When all the phantoms became one, Yuan Ming's divine soul erupted with an immensely powerful wave of divine soul energy.

This wave spread out layer by layer, instantly sweeping across the entire City Lord Mansion, and then extending to the whole White Emperor City.

In that instant, Yuan Ming seemed to hear countless voices sounding in his ears.

They were either high-pitched, low, rapid, or slow, chaotic yet seemingly containing an enigmatic rhythm.

These voices were like the words, actions, thoughts, and ideas of all living beings, interwoven to form a wondrous force. Although this force was vague and chaotic, it seemed orderly and full of wisdom.

"Is this destiny?" Yuan Ming felt a surge of enlightenment in his heart.

He realized that the destiny of every being was determined by the force created by their words, actions, and thoughts.

And this force was the link connecting them with the universe, the trajectory of their lives.

At this moment, Yuan Ming finally understood why the Great Wish of All Living Beings required advancement to the Realm of Life Witch to practice.

Because only by truly comprehending the destinies of beings can one guide the force of all beings' will with their own grand aspiration.
