"Fallen Immortal?"
When he heard the answer from Wang Lu, Xuan Mo seemed a little surprised.
"You guys already know about it?"
Wang Lu said, "More than know, we've already dealt with it …"
Before he could finish his words, Xuan Mo's face suddenly sank. "Have they already begun to descend?"
Upon hearing her question, Wang Lu realized that the crisis of the Fallen Immortal was probably more terrible than expected. They descended. In a single sentence, Wang Lu could not help but picture the scene of dozens of Mr. Feng Yue descending on Nine Regions in his mind.
That would really be the end of the world.
However, the situation was not yet desperate. Recalling what Mr. Feng Yue did, it was not difficult to see that he tried his best to provoke disputes between the Demon World and Nine Regions. In fact, it was to pave the way for something. Unfortunately, he failed on the verge of success, and that thing did not reach the last step.
"At present, there are only advance troops. The arrival of the main force should still face insurmountable barriers."
However, Xuan Mo shook his head seriously and said, "The appearance of the advance troops means that the situation is already very bad. Well, you don't know the whole picture of the matter, so I'd better start from the beginning."
"Fallen Immortal … Let's call them by this name for the time being. The earliest record of the Fallen Immortal, for me, is also from the Savage Age a long time ago. According to the history books, one day, there was a natural phenomenon. The sky opened and a strange light shone. A creature with black wings on his back came to Nine Regions. He claimed to be an Immortal and had a powerful divine power that was unimaginable to cultivators. At first, people thought that he was a True Immortal from the lower realm, who came with the sacred will of the Immortal World and worshipped him like a god. However, soon he did evil in Nine Regions, which aroused public anger. "
Wang Wu asked, "What exactly do you mean by doing evil?"
Xuan Mo said, "This matter is not detailed in the history books, but according to the various historical materials sorted out by later people, the conclusion is that the Fallen Immortal robbed the Daoist Companion of the leader of a high-rank sect and abused her to death."
"…"
"After being insulted like this, how could the Sect Leader let it go? Unfortunately, although he was known as one of the few experts in the world, he was smashed into a meat patty in three moves by the Fallen Immortal and then swallowed into the belly of the Fallen Immortal. His thousands of years of cultivation base turned into nourishment for others."
"Moreover, this was only the beginning. Later on, he relied on his tyrannical strength, and his absurd and tyrannical actions were too numerous to enumerate. In the end, a large group of cultivators joined forces to resist him. That battle shook the heavens and the earth, and the sun and moon lost their brilliance. In the end, they completely eliminated him, but the cultivation world also paid a terrible price."
From then on, people finally realized that those who descended from the Upper Realm might not necessarily have good intentions. "
"Wait, how did you confirm that he really came from the Upper Realm of Immortals and not some other place, such as the Demon Realm? Whether it's the Nine Regions or the Demon World, to exaggerate it, it's just a drop in the ocean. "
"From that person's remains, we found clues about his cultivation in the human world. Ten thousand years ago, he was indeed a cultivator who cultivated in the mortal world. "
"So that's how it is … After ascending, he forgot his roots?"
"It's not that he forgot his roots. He was originally an evil cultivator in Nine Regions, and doing evil is his duty." Xuan Mo said with a wry smile, "But occasionally, similar things happened, and the Fallen Immortals who descended from the Upper Realm came from the righteous sects."
Wang Lu frowned and said, "It's not useful to come from the righteous sects? What exactly did they experience after ascending? Isn't the Immortal World the legendary Pure Land of Bliss? "
"You also know that it's just a legend, an excuse to induce people to cultivate seriously. In fact, no one has seen what the Immortal World looks like, and the True Immortals who occasionally descended to the lower realm have never revealed the secrets of the Immortal World. But it's not that good. Since ancient times, there have been at least eight hundred if not one thousand cultivators who ascended to the upper realm. The more ancient Desolation Age could not be counted. Among them, there were both righteous cultivators and evil cultivators. Moreover, after they ascended to the Immortal World, they might not be able to reproduce their descendants, and the descendants might not be able to inherit the character of their predecessors. It's not surprising that there are Fallen Immortals. The key problem is how to deal with these Fallen Immortals in the lower realm … "
"Is there no one in the Immortal World who cares about this kind of thing?"
"We can't confirm the attitude of the Immortal World towards the Fallen Immortals. Because occasionally, True Immortals descend to the lower realm, but they have never had in-depth communication with the cultivators, or even had a dialogue with them, so we can't ask them anything about the situation. Optimistically, perhaps they have tried their best to stop the Fallen Immortals from descending. Otherwise, the number of Fallen Immortals would be ten times or even a hundred times more than now. But … "
Wang Lu was silent for a while and said, "But it's also possible that the Immortals in the upper realm have no interest in caring about the life and death of the people in the lower realm. It's just like how human beings don't care about how much killing their children will cause by scalding an ant's nest with boiling water. "
Xuan Mo said, "Nine Regions is the starting point of the Immortal World, but it's only the starting point. The road of Immortal Cultivation is endless. As people explore the road ahead, the starting point of the past will only become more and more insignificant. Perhaps this is the reason why the upper realm has not descended many times in the past tens of thousands of years. Unfortunately, this continent may not be worth mentioning for those ambitious Immortals, but there are always a few scum who enjoy abusing the weak. In short, we can't hope that the upper realm will interfere in this matter. In the fight against the Fallen Immortals, we can't rely on anyone but ourselves. "
"So there are Dixian Immortals like you?"
Xuan Mo said with a wry smile, "The so-called Dixian Immortals are actually just self-flattery to inspire confidence. The opponent is the Immortals, who are at a height that hundreds of millions of cultivators in Nine Regions can't reach in their lifetime. It takes too much courage to be enemies with them. What's more, our plan is far more radical than that. "
"Oh? Are you going to cut the weeds and eliminate the roots, and treat both the symptoms and the root causes? "
"Well, it doesn't make any sense to simply gather forces to kill one or two Fallen Immortals in the lower realm. As long as the Immortals in the upper realm still treat the lower realm unscrupulously, the Fallen Immortals will only emerge one after another. And every time we fight, we have to pay ten times or even a hundred times the price … For the Immortal World, they only lose a scum that can't be cultivated. But in Nine Regions, they lose the elites of the Immortal Path. "
"So, specifically, what did you do?
"We decided to challenge the upper realm, break through the sky, and ask Heaven why it condones murderers! If Heaven refuses to answer, we will find an explanation for it ourselves! "
"What a radical idea!"
Even Wang Wu was amazed by the whimsical ideas of these Dixian Immortals.
Xuan Mo sighed and said, "If you have cherished people who died in the calamity of the Fallen Immortals, it is inevitable that you will have radical ideas. In our time, the calamity of the Fallen Immortals was one of the most frightening natural disasters in the Immortal Cultivation World. I don't know how many people suffered from it … "
"But later generations have never even heard of the name of the Fallen Immortals." Wang Lu said, and then after a moment of silence, he said, "In any case, it must have been an extremely tragic war.
Xuan Mo said, "It was indeed a tragic struggle. At that time, we gathered most of the elites in Nine Regions and even united with the kings of the Western Continent. We silently endured for half a year. When everything was ready, we tore open the passage to the upper realm, went against the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and forcibly set foot on the land of the Immortal World."
"Wouldn't that be a collective ascension?"
"Without the test of the heavenly tribulation, a cultivator's magical power could not be transformed into pure immortal spirit aura, and thus could not stay in the Immortal World for a long time. What's more, we gathered countless resources in Nine Regions, not just to create dozens of Immortals. "
"In fact, our plan at that time was to a large extent a gamble. The dozens of us could not stay in the Immortal World for a long time. No one could say what we would encounter during this time and what we could do. As a result, not long after we entered the Immortal World, we met three Fallen Immortals. When they saw us, they were very surprised and attacked us without saying anything. We were forced to fight. In that battle, we paid more than ten times the casualties and were crippled in just one battle. We were no longer able to carry out in-depth exploration. "
Even after thousands of years, when talking about that earth-shattering battle, Xuan Mo still looked distressed.
"But after that battle, we also realized that there was no need to continue to explore. It was a mistake to pin our hopes on one battle. It only showed that we were still too naive and conceited. The number and strength of the Fallen Immortals were far beyond our imagination. It was not a problem that our generation could solve at all. "
Wang Lu nodded and expressed his deep understanding.
Not long after they set foot in the Immortal World, they met three Fallen Immortals. Moreover, when they met, they immediately fought. This could not be explained by bad luck.
It was very likely that the current passage between Nine Regions and the Immortal World was in the hands of a Fallen Immortal organization. The world of Nine Regions was completely reduced to their breeding ground and back garden. The resistance launched by Xuan Mo and the other Dixian people, in the eyes of others, was like a beef cow that was unwilling to be left alone and jumped out of the cow pen.
"But we didn't despair. Even if this generation can't solve the problem, there is still the next generation. The cultivators of Nine Regions have been making progress for tens of thousands of years, at least until my time. Therefore, we have always believed that in the distant future, Nine Regions would have the power to protect itself. "
Xuan Mo sighed and said, "At that time, we quickly returned to Nine Regions, and in the next hundred years, we did our best to mobilize the huge power contained in Nine Regions to forcibly block the passage between the Immortal World and Nine Regions, trying to completely cut off the possibility of the Fallen Immortals coming. At the same time, we built the group of immortal tombs to preserve what we have learned in our lifetime, as well as the valuable experience left by countless generations of people in the struggle against the Fallen Immortals. I hope that future generations can benefit from it and take fewer detours. "
Upon hearing this, Wang Lu just shrugged helplessly and said, "Unfortunately, the future generations will probably let you down."
"Yes, when I woke up from my long sleep and saw the Nine Regions today, I was indeed very disappointed, even desperate. After ten thousand years, not only did the cultivators not make progress, they were far worse than before. How can we fight against the Fallen Immortals? The blockade barrier that we laid at that time was, after all, only at the level of Dixian. For those genuine Immortals, there must be some flaws. Therefore, it was only a matter of time before they came back to Nine Regions! "
With that, Xuan Mo revealed a smile and said, "However, after seeing the two of you, I have a bit of hope for Nine Regions. Perhaps today's Nine Regions is not so hopeless."
"Unfortunately, this is just my own idea. Among the companions who received the Resuscitation, the majority of them are dissenting. "
