The Nine-headed Bug had indeed been here before …
Fang Xing, Ao Lie, and the others immediately understood from the expressions of the people from the Immortal Realm that they had guessed correctly. The Nine-headed Bug had also followed the Dragon Tribe's Ancient Path of Immortals to this place. Moreover, from their expressions, it seemed like they had not been very happy with this place …
"How is he ungrateful? Quick, tell us! "
As soon as Fang Xing heard that shout, his entire face became a little more spirited, and he anxiously asked.
Everyone fell silent again. They all looked at the white-robed Daoist Master beside them, only to see that the old man was also a little dejected. He gently waved his hand, as if he did not want to mention the past. However, he called out to Yu Jizi in a low voice, as if he wanted Yu Jizi to tell him about the past. Yu Jizi naturally understood, so he took a step forward and said, "I won't hide it from the three of you. Every few years or decades, there will always be some humans, demons, immortals, buddhas, and so on who come through different paths. Our Celestial Realm has always been hospitable and never neglected them. Unfortunately, no matter how sincere we are, we can't change everyone's hearts …"
"Sigh …"
Hearing this, everyone around him sighed at the same time. Their expressions were a little comical.
Yu Jizi continued, "The King of Jiu Ling, or the Nine-headed Bug, came here in a small world of the Dragon Palace thirty years ago. My master, the Virtuous Dao Master, the Great Compassion Buddhist Lord of the West, and the Mighty Demon Lord of the South, all thought highly of him. They talked about the Dao, Immortals, Buddhism, and swords with him. It was a joyous occasion. When he heard that the Immortal Realm had been destroyed, he was extremely disappointed. The Dao Master even advised him that although the Immortal Realm had been destroyed, he could still become an immortal by staying in the Immortal Realm.
"Thirty years ago?"
"He could become immortal by staying here?"
Yu Jizi did not speak, but once he did, he immediately stirred up waves in the hearts of Fang Xing and the others …
The first thing that shocked them was the time that the Nine-headed Bug had arrived in this Immortal Realm!
Thirty years ago? How was that possible?
Back then, they and the Nine-headed Bug had stepped onto the Starry Sky Immortal Path one after the other. At most, there was a difference of more than ten days of effort. Later on, they hurried through the starry sky until they reached the first major obstacle. They never dared to be negligent, and the distance between them and the Nine-headed Bug had probably shortened. Later on, the three of them did indeed refine the Serene Earth in the sea of stars, which delayed them for more than a month. But later on, the three of them had greatly increased their strength, and their speed had also increased. Although they had also collected a lot of Meteoric Iron Star Ores along the way, their overall speed had been increasing!
In other words, even if the Nine-headed Bug really traveled very quickly and was ahead of them, it shouldn't make sense for them to arrive at the Celestial Realm thirty years earlier than them. After all, that was a long thirty years. How could they be left behind so far?
Although she was shocked, Yu Jizi did not look like he was lying. She endured it and listened to him continue.
On the other hand, Lu Sou's thoughts were completely captivated by the words "seek immortality and attain immortality". His face was filled with infatuation …
The reason why people sought immortality was because after becoming an immortal, their cultivation could improve further and transform into an immortal's body. What was even more tempting was that they could truly break through the Tribulations of Life and Death and attain immortality. As long as they did not die, they could live freely forever …
Because of that, the cultivators in the world sought immortality for various reasons, but the words "immortality" were definitely at the top of the list!
Lu Sou was like that. Once he heard that immortality could also be achieved in the Celestial Realm, he could not help but be tempted.
Yu Jizi was still panting when he mentioned the Nine-headed Bug. He did not notice the waves of shock in Fang Xing and the rest's hearts. He continued, "… when this person first heard it, he looked very sincere. He earnestly asked for guidance from the Dao Master and even expressed his willingness to become the Dao Master's disciple to seek the Dao of immortality. My master also thought highly of him. When he found out that he came from the Dragon Tribe's Ancient Path, he even promised him that he did not need to be my disciple. If he could comprehend the Dao, he could discuss with the other Supremacies and give him the position of Dragon Lord …"
"Hmph, the position of Dragon Lord?"
When Ao Lie heard this, he could not help but tremble. Fang Xing reached over and pinched him.
It was no wonder that Ao Lie was unhappy. The Nine-headed Bug was the main culprit behind the theft of the Dragon Clan's fortune. Yet, in the Celestial Realm, the Nine-headed Bug was purposefully named as the Dragon Lord. This was equivalent to acknowledging the Nine-headed Bug as the rightful owner of the Dragon Clan's fortune. Even if Ao Lie had no respect for the Celestial Realm, he couldn't help but feel angry when he heard this. He was extremely unhappy.
However, after being pinched by Fang Xing, he also understood that this was not the time to be angry, so he forced himself to endure it.
As for the Old Sect Master, he was quick-witted and understood where Ao Lie's anger came from. He coughed lightly. Yu Jizi also came to his senses. He bowed to the Old Sect Master and avoided this matter. He continued, "… No matter what, the Dao Master and the other Supremacies treated him well enough, right? Not only did they promise him … but all the children and nephews he brought were also accepted as disciples by the Supremacies. They were brought along to cultivate. It was supposed to be a happy ending, but who would have thought that this person … was actually harboring evil intentions! "
At this point, Yu Jizi gritted his teeth in hatred. He paused for a moment before continuing, "This Nine-headed Bug is really a wolf with wild ambitions. He stayed in the Celestial Realm for three years and has always been devout in his pursuit of the Dao. No one was on guard against him. Moreover, he had an honorable status, so everywhere he went, everyone treated him with respect. However, who would have thought that just as everyone accepted him, he would commit such an evil deed that angered even the gods? He took advantage of the fact that the Supremacies were cultivating in seclusion to sneak into the Sky Palace and kill the four senior brothers guarding the Sky Palace. He then borrowed the Dragon Palace Small World and stole half of the Immortal Life sealed in the Sky Palace. He abandoned all his children and nephews and escaped from the Ten Extremities Grounds …"
"How hateful!"
"That Nine-headed Bug deserves to die a thousand times for his crimes!"
After hearing Yu Jizi's words, countless people around them became enraged and started cursing loudly.
Fang Xing, Ao Lie, and Lu Sou also looked at each other. They were all a little surprised.
This was especially so for Fang Xing. After hearing these words, he felt a little admiration for the Nine-headed Bug.
This person was amazing …
With different standpoints, the words they said were naturally different. From Yu Jizi's mouth, he said that the Nine-headed Bug was an ungrateful person who had deceived them and stole their trust. Moreover, he was ruthless and did not hesitate to sacrifice his own children and nephews. However, in Fang Xing's ears, he heard a different story, and he felt that his story was most likely true …
When the Nine-headed Bug first came to the Celestial Realm, he was probably also confused, feeling about the same as them. In the beginning, he was probably intimidated by the experts in the Celestial Realm and did not dare to be too arrogant. These people told him that the Celestial Realm had already been destroyed and this was the only Celestial Realm left. He definitely did not believe them, but he did not say anything and feigned civility. The children and nephews that came with him said that they were brought by the High Lords to cultivate. They were probably held as hostages …
However, this person was clearly very capable. He did not show it on the surface and used three years to earn these people's trust. He also found out some secrets about the Celestial Realm and then made a move to steal the Celestial Realm's precious treasure. He sacrificed the lives of the children and nephews that were brought by the High Lords to escape the Celestial Realm … This forbearance, this ruthlessness, this perseverance, this determination, was truly admirable!
"Sect Master, I don't know if I'm being rude, but I wonder what the Nine-headed Bug stole half of the Celestial Realm's life is referring to …"
In the silence, Fang Xing and the others did not speak. After a while, Lu Sou hesitantly opened his mouth.
"Heh, after hearing about that beast, all you care about is what the Celestial Realm is?"
A child behind the Old Sect Master asked coldly with an unfriendly tone.
Lu Sou was immediately speechless. The child was straightforward, and his questions really put him in a difficult position.
Indeed, if he was so impatient, it would make it seem like he was up to no good …
"If we don't know what he stole, how would we know how much damage he caused to the Celestial Realm?"
Fang Xing smiled and said to the Old Sect Master, "Am I right, Old Immortal?"
"Hehe, since the three of you have questions, there's no harm in telling you!"
The Old Sect Master did not seem to be on guard. He chuckled and said, "Actually, the so-called Celestial Realm is the inheritance that we brought with us when we escaped from the Great Celestial Realm. It can also be said to be a type of fate. Cultivation in the world is not just about becoming a True Immortal. One also needs the support of the Celestial Realm to truly live forever and become a True Immortal. The few of us brought the Celestial Realm's Heavenly Palace and sealed it in the Celestial Realm's Heavenly Palace. It was originally prepared for these juniors, but we didn't expect that Nine-headed Bug to sneak into the Heavenly Palace while we were unprepared and wanted to steal the Celestial Realm's Heavenly Palace. Although we discovered it in time and only managed to steal half of it, it was still a great loss … Sigh, what pained this old man the most was why he did that. If he cultivated properly, why would he need to guard against the Celestial Realm's Fate? "
Fang Xing directly ignored the Old Sect Master's last few words, but his eyes flickered slightly …
This was the first time he had heard of the Celestial Realm.
However, when he thought about it, if becoming an immortal was so easy, then countless cultivators wouldn't have pursued it their entire lives.
For example, Lu Sou and the other old fellows had guarded this path for thousands of years, but they still wanted to risk their lives to walk this path instead of cultivating in Heaven's Origin. This was because no matter how hard they cultivated, they couldn't truly become immortals. They lacked something necessary to become immortals …
Now that he thought about it, Fang Xing vaguely guessed that the thing they lacked was the Celestial Realm!
"This Nine-headed Worm is simply an ungrateful son of a bitch. He deserves to die ten thousand times over. It serves him right that he can't become an immortal in eight lifetimes …"
Fang Xing didn't know how long he thought about it, but he suddenly began to curse angrily. His words flowed like a river, and his anger was unbearable. Even the people from the Celestial Realm around him felt a little embarrassed. They couldn't help but have a good impression of this person who scolded the traitor of the Celestial Realm. They felt that this was how the three of them should act after hearing about the past. Fang Xing also didn't know how long he had been cursing. When even Ao Lie and Lu Sou couldn't take it anymore, he finally asked with a serious expression, "Old Immortal … Where is the Heavenly Palace?"
