"I've read a lot of books. I'm not lying to you!"
The Little Princess of the Jade Lake said seriously, "In the Jade Lake, there are many ancient books. Some were left by the ancient Jade Lake, and some were collected by the Fuyao Palace. There are many secrets recorded in them. I saw many of them when I was playing in the Scripture Hall. Many ancient books recorded the great war between the Celestials and the Sages in ancient times. However, those books are too old, and the words have changed, making them very obscure. It is difficult for me to understand them. But one thing I can guarantee is that the first batch of Celestials who ascended were driven out by the Sages! Now, the world has an agreement. Whether it's the Immortal Realm or the Lesser Immortal Realm, no one is allowed to return after the sky is sealed. This Lihen Heaven is obviously summoning those from the Lesser Immortal Realm, but they can't return. Once they do, the Tianyuan Continent will be in chaos. It will be chaos that even the Saints can't quell! "
"So you're also half-baked. You're making it sound so serious. Are you trying to scare me?"
Fang Xing was slightly taken aback when he heard this, and then he rolled his eyes in disdain and looked doubtful. He was really doubtful of what the little princess of the Jade Pool had said. After all, he had been in the Cultivation World for a long time, and when everyone mentioned "Immortals", they were filled with reverence and took them as the goal of their Cultivation Path. But this little princess said that Immortals were sinners and were banished by the Sages …
This was challenging his view of the world!
"I'm really not scaring you …"
The Princess of Yaochi was in a hurry to leave. "This is too serious. I must tell the Great Elder and the others!"
"Leave if you want. You're my hostage now!" Fang Xing was extremely unreasonable and refused to let her go. "Explain things clearly first!"
"I can't explain clearly …"
The Little Princess of the Jade Lake was so anxious that she was about to cry. "I didn't, I just took a few glances at it. Who would have the time to delve into the ancient past? What I can tell you now is that the Celestial Ascension is not that simple. Furthermore, the orthodoxies of Lihen Heaven were actually much more powerful than they are now. However, they followed the ancient tradition and divided their forces into two. Most of the forces built their own small Celestial Realm in the outer space. Their foundations were left in the Tianyuan Continent so that they could find suitable disciples …"
"... But afterwards, the Immortal's Path was severed and the Tian Yuan Continent became a sealed world. Not only did it sever the path of ascension from the Immortals' World, even their orthodoxies lost contact with the smaller Immortals' Worlds outside the world. As a result, their strength plummeted. The first-rate were reduced to second-rate, and there were even a few orthodoxies that were annihilated. Instead, our Fuyao Palace and the eight great clans took advantage of the situation and rose up, occupying even more fortune. Now, the Mysterious Coffin is about to descend, yet they want to bring back the people from the smaller Immortals' Worlds. Isn't that making the situation even more chaotic? Believe me, in the world of cultivation, it has been said that Immortals are sinners. Letting the Immortals return will bring disaster! "
After the Princess of Yaochi's explanation, Fang Xing gradually understood.
It turned out that the so-called Lesser Immortal Realms were not the Immortal Realms in the traditional sense. They were orthodoxies built in outer space. Before the Tianyuan Continent was sealed, many cultivators went to outer space to search for cultivation resources. Some powerful orthodoxies would even find suitable places in outer space to build their foundations. After the cultivators in their orthodoxies passed the Nine Tribulations, they did not go to the Immortal Realms, but directly went to the orthodoxies to continue their cultivation. This was how the name 'Lesser Immortal Realms' came about.
And after the Nine Coffin descended, the world was cut off. Other than the Saints and the few old monsters in the various provinces, ordinary cultivators could not go to outer space at all. This kind of seal was as if someone had used great power to seal the Tianyuan Continent, which was why cultivators called it the Seal of the Heavens.
Before the Heavens was sealed, many orthodoxies had built their sects in outer space, such as Lihen Heaven, Wangqing Heaven, and other orthodoxies. They could add the word 'Heaven' to their names, which was not just for show. At that time, only the orthodoxies that had been established in outer space, which was their own 'Lesser Immortal Realms' sect, had the right to add the word 'Heaven' to their names. Unfortunately, when the Heavens was sealed, these orthodoxies suffered greatly. They lost contact with the orthodoxies of outer space, and their strength was greatly reduced. They were no longer as powerful as the Fuyao Palace and the Eight Great Families.
And from what the Princess of Yaochi said, it seemed that there was an agreement between the Saints of the Tianyuan Continent. In order to avoid the great calamity, they did not want the people of the Lesser Immortal Realms to return. Because the Nine Coffin Sealing the Heavens was actually to protect the Tianyuan Continent from the great calamity, and the people of the Lesser Immortal Realms did not have the protection of the Nine Coffins. No one knew if it was related to the great calamity. Now, the Lihen Heaven was clearly for their own benefit, and they were dragging the entire Tianyuan Continent with them. This was why the Princess was shocked. Lihen Heaven was too bold …
"Is it that serious?"
Fang Xing was stunned when he heard that, and he frowned tightly.
The Princess of Yaochi nodded repeatedly, "It's very serious. Let's leave quickly and tell the grand elder and the others!"
"Wait, I finally managed to kidnap you, and I'm just going to send you back like this …"
Fang Xing grabbed her again, and his face was filled with doubt, "Moreover, we still don't know if it's as serious as you say it is. You've said it yourself, the people of the Lesser Immortal Realms might only be related to the great calamity. The Lihen Heaven are no idiots. Even if summoning the people of the Lesser Immortal Realms back is like inviting trouble, they can't do that. It's like they can hide from the great calamity …"
"T- t- this is a great calamity, and you're actually treating it like it's nothing …"
The Princess of Yaochi was speechless, and she suddenly rushed up to Fang Xing angrily, biting his arm and refusing to let go.
In fact, she could not be blamed. Fang Xing indeed thought that way. He had always been bold and fearless. Every time someone mentioned the so-called Great Tribulation, it would be mysterious and incomparably solemn. However, he felt that even if you talked about the Great Tribulation and he talked about the Great Tribulation, no one would be able to explain what it was. Ordinary people might be increasingly afraid of this unknown thing, but he did not take it seriously. Instead, he seemed to be quite curious about the unknown Great Tribulation …
If the Princess of Yaochi knew what he was thinking, she would probably bite him to death.
"Haha, you're right, fellow Daoist. We of Lihen Heaven are not fools. If it was really possible to bring about that great calamity, we wouldn't have asked the Celestial Ancestors to return. In truth, the Small Celestial Realms of Lihen Heaven, and even the Small Celestial Realms of other orthodoxies, have nothing to do with the great calamity. It's just that some people have abandoned them, and they intend to use them as the first line of defense when the great calamity comes …"
At that very moment, a faint voice was suddenly heard from nearby, "Therefore, it is only right and proper for us, the Lihen Heaven, to bring the Celestial Ancestor home. Not even the Saints can say anything about it. After all … it is already very kind of us not to seek justice from them!"
"Wow …"
When she heard that voice, the Princess of Yaochi suddenly rushed behind Fang Xing, tugging at his clothes, trembling.
And Fang Xing was also shocked, and he turned to look, and saw a young man with long hair hanging down his forehead.
It was Young Master Lihen, who had been in seclusion for ten years. At some point, he had come to his side and even heard a few words.
This person, along with Young Master Fusu, Yuan Buyu, Shao-situ of Fuyao Palace, and Zhao Yatong of the Zhao family, were known as the Four Young Masters of the Central Region. They were the four most dazzling juniors of the Central Region's cultivation world ten years ago, and their names had spread throughout the Tianyuan Continent, and they were praised as the four seedlings of the cultivation world.
But in these ten years, although the Four Young Masters were famous, their fates were very different, and they rarely appeared together in public. Of the four, besides Shao-situ of Fuyao Palace, who was still free and unfettered, Zhao Yatong had lost to Shao-situ and was too ashamed to meet anyone. She entered the First Division of Subduing Abyss, and after ten years of tempering, she became the only Jindan Realm general in the First Division of Subduing Abyss. Young Master Fusu had been ostracized by Fang Xing and lost his position as the Divine Child of the Yuan family. He was now under house arrest, unable to leave the house.
As for Young Master Lihen, he had disappeared ten years ago, cultivating in seclusion. Outsiders said that he had obtained a copy of the Immortal Sword Scripture from the Xuan Coffin, and then went into seclusion for ten years, practicing the sword in his dreams. But Fang Xing knew that he had actually stolen Xu Lingyun's sword embryo, so he had gone into seclusion to nourish it. Not long ago, in order to seize the fortune of the Demon Abyss, Lihen Heaven had chosen Fairy Qing Yue as the Goddess, and entered the Demon Abyss. But he had not shown his face. Fang Xing had never imagined that he would see him at this underground altar, during the ceremony to welcome the people of the Small Immortal Realm back …
"Why are you scared like a grandson …"
Fang Xing shot an indifferent glance at Young Master Lihen. Although he was cautious, he did not think much of him. Instead, he was a little curious about the Little Princess of Yaochi being so scared. It must be known that this girl was so bold that she had once clamored about beating him up.
"As everyone knows, of the Four Young Masters, Young Master Fusu has a good reputation, Young Master Red Embellishment is a good friend, and Young Master Lihen …"
The Little Princess of Yaochi stammered, "… So murderous!"
She subconsciously did not mention Young Master Situ. It was probably because Shao-situ's "lecherous" reputation was not very pleasant to hear.
The atmosphere was strange. It was as if the edge of a sword had lightly brushed past one's skin.
The Little Princess of Yaochi's "so murderous" suddenly caused Young Master Lihen's body to have an unsettled red color.
"Haha, Little Sister Xiaoqing is actually wrong. I am not a murderous person!"
Young Master Lihen heard the Little Princess of Yaochi's words and laughed softly. He called her name directly, as if he had seen the Little Princess before and knew her. He was also calm and had no murderous intent, but his words were shocking …
"It's just that there are too many people in this world who deserve to die!"
"Swoosh." Just as he spoke, a ray of sword light suddenly shot towards the Little Princess of Yaochi's forehead.
This sword had no signs at all. It was extremely strange, but it was ruthless and merciless. It went straight for her forehead.
Facing this sword, the Little Princess of Yaochi was dumbfounded. Her face was full of terror. However, her cultivation was sealed, so she could not even dodge it.
"Swoosh!"
But just as this ray of sword light was about to reach her forehead, suddenly, a palm stretched out horizontally. It was as steady as a mountain. It was extremely ingenious. The originally formless ray of sword light seemed to have a form. It was grasped in his palm and could not move forward at all.
"How dare you touch my hostage?"
Fang Xing's cold voice rang out. There was also a murderous intent in it. "Do you believe that I will kill you?"
