"This method is still related to the power of laws."
"I don't know when it started, but these ancient immortals suddenly discovered that the more complete laws they comprehended, the higher their chances of success during the Immortal Tribulation."
"Although this sounds somewhat inconceivable and illogical, at that time, this was the case and received the approval of many people."
"So, those ancient immortals began to think of ways to comprehend more complete laws. At first, they were still rational, but as time went by, some ancient immortals began to shift their attention to other ancient immortals."
"The other methods to comprehend a complete set of laws are too slow and difficult. The fastest method is to kill other Ancient Immortals and seize their complete set of laws. Then, refine and comprehend them to transform them into your own complete set of laws."
"Many things can't be stopped once they start. In the end, all the ancient immortals began to fight with each other, and it affected the cultivators below the ancient immortal realm. A war of immortals finally began quickly."
High Priestess Anya answered Luo Ping's question straightforwardly and explained the subjective factors of the battle of immortals.
"So that's how it is. As the saying goes, desire is limitless. As long as the temptation of benefits is enough, it can make anyone lose their rationality."
Luo Ping said with some emotion.
"Yes, all of this was caused by desire. These ancient immortals pursued to transcend the Immortal Tribulation and successfully ascend to the sacred realm."
"In order to successfully transcend the Immortal Tribulation, they could disregard everything. They wouldn't even bat an eyelid if they had to slaughter an entire race, because in their eyes, the lives of these races couldn't be compared to their path of immortal cultivation."
"Originally, immortal cultivation was a matter of tempering one's Dao Heart and cultivating one's character. In fact, it required an unswerving Dao Heart, strong and unyielding determination, and perseverance. It was absolutely not an evil heart that would willfully slaughter the innocent."
"However, in the process of cultivation, countless immortal cultivators were driven by desire and gradually deviated from the normal path of cultivation and embarked on the path of evil."
"In fact, as long as they didn't deviate too much, it didn't matter too much. Once they deviated from the right path, they would completely degenerate into the path of evil."
"Back then, those ancient immortals had lost their rationality because they wanted to successfully overcome the immortal tribulation and ascend to the Saint Realm. Another reason was that they were affected by the dark laws of the Dark Astrals.
High Priestess Anya said.
"Dark Spirit Clan?"
"Senior, are you talking about the Dark Spirit Clan, one of the eight Spirit Clans that has always been opposing the Elf Clan?"
Kong Haotian asked.
"That's right, it's this race!"
"The Dark Astral Clan cultivates the Power of Darkness, and the Law they grasp is the Law of Darkness, which opposes the Law of Light of our clan. Therefore, the Dark Astral Clan and our clan have always been at odds with each other."
"The power of darkness that the Dark Spirit Clan cultivates can trigger the inner desires of every race, causing them to produce evil power in their hearts. It will be difficult for them to control themselves, and in the end, they will lose their minds."
"Even the Ancient Immortals of the Ancient Immortal Era found it difficult to resist the Ancient Immortals of the Dark Spirit Clan who possessed the Law of Darkness. That was why they gradually lost their minds, leading to the War of the Immortals."
High Priestess Anya explained.
"I didn't expect the Dark Astral Clan to be so powerful. No wonder their clan has been so proud until now. Although their numbers are very small, traces of the Dark Astral Clan can still be found in the Immortal Realm."
"According to senior, the Dark Astral Clan should have secretly added fuel to the fire in the War of the Immortals in the Ancient Immortal Era. This led to the war between the Ancient Immortals, which led to the destruction of countless races and the end of the Ancient Immortal Era."
Zhu Ying said.
Unlike the Elf Clan, who had disappeared without a trace in the Immortal Realm, although the Dark Astral Clan was rarely active in the Immortal Realm, their traces could still be found.
For example, Duanmu Gou, the general of the Duanmu Clan, whom Luo Ping had met before, had taken a Dark Astral Clan as his Immortal Pet. It was precisely because the Dark Astral Clan still existed that no one was too shocked.
"That's right. It can be said that the Dark Astral Clan was the biggest driving force behind the War of the Immortals. It was also because the Dark Astral Clan gathered a large number of Ancient Immortals to fight against our clan that our clan suffered a great loss and was almost wiped out."
High Priestess Anya said.
"Senior, after the War of the Immortals, there should be a lot of Ancient Immortals left, right? Logically speaking, Ancient Immortals have mastered the Power of Law and their strength is exceedingly high. It shouldn't be a problem for them to survive for ten billion years. "
"But why hasn't any Ancient Immortals appeared in the Immortal Realm? They couldn't have perished together, right? "
Luo Ping suddenly thought of this question and asked.
Zhu Ying and Kong Haotian nodded in puzzlement when they heard this. They couldn't understand this point.
"I don't know the specifics either. After all, back then, in order to preserve the remaining members of the clan, the Patriarch of our clan used a forbidden technique. He forcibly activated the Holy Light Crystal to unleash its strongest attack. Then, he used a sealing technique to seal the Holy Light Crystal."
"Since then, our clan has been completely isolated from the outside world. After more than five billion years, the seal of the Saint Light Crystal gradually weakened and our clan was able to obtain a trace of contact with the outside world."
"At that time, the Immortal Realm had already entered the Magnificent Immortal Era. Too much time has passed since the Ancient Immortal Era, so I don't know what the outcome of the War of the Immortals was."
"However, I have a few speculations in my heart. As for what exactly happened, perhaps the truth will be revealed in the future, or perhaps it will never be known."
High Priestess Anya shook her head. Clearly, she was also very puzzled and curious about the outcome of the War of the Immortals.
Seeing the inquisitive look on Luo Ping's and the others' faces, High Priestess Anya continued, "The first possibility is that those Ancient Immortals were seriously injured after a great battle. Even if a few of them were able to maintain their strength, it's very difficult to successfully transcend the Immortal Tribulation."
"In other words, these Ancient Immortals basically died under the Immortal Tribulation. Those who succeeded in transcending the Immortal Tribulation naturally ascended to the Sacred Region."
"This speculation seems very reasonable, but it can't stand up to scrutiny. After all, it's normal for Ancient Immortals to survive for 10 billion years without transcending the Immortal Tribulation."
"The second possibility is that the battle between the Ancient Immortals has attracted the attention of the Saint Realm experts, so they sent experts to kill all the Ancient Immortals in the Immortal Realm or exiled them to a special space," Qin Wentian said.
"In comparison, I feel that the possibility of these Ancient Immortals being exiled is higher. After all, even Sacred Region experts wouldn't dare to kill so many Ancient Immortals so casually."
"As for the third possibility, it's also the most reliable one. That is, the battle between the ancient immortals caused the entire immortal realms to become unstable, resulting in the appearance of a gigantic spatial tear that transported all of them to another space. In addition, all of them were trapped in a certain space."
High Priestess Anya revealed all three of her speculations. She was more inclined to believe the third possibility.
When Luo Ping and the other two heard this, they fell into deep thought. After digesting High Priestess Anya's words, they nodded.
"Senior's words are very reasonable, but after all, we haven't seen the means of Ancient Immortals. Moreover, with our knowledge, we can't make any analysis."
"It seems that it's impossible for Ancient Immortals to appear in the current Immortal Realm. After all, it's very difficult to comprehend a complete law in the current Immortal Realm."
"By the way, may I know senior's cultivation base back then?"
Zhu Ying asked.
"Back then, I was just an Immortal Monarch who had comprehended a part of the Law of Light. In the current Immortal Realm, I'm a peak existence. However, in the Ancient Immortal Era, there were as many Immortal Monarchs as there were hairs on an ox. My strength was only average among the Immortal Monarchs."
High Priestess Anya answered frankly.
"With senior's comprehension of a part of the Law of Light, you're only average among the Immortal Monarchs. This shows how terrifying the strength of the Immortal Monarchs in the Ancient Immortal Era was."
"Junior has another question to ask senior. May I know when the Immortal Realm was born and how long has it existed?"
Zhu Ying asked again.
She was originally a native of the Immortal Realm, so she was naturally very interested in the history of the Immortal Realm. She wanted to know when the Immortal Realm was born.
"The Immortal Dao is vast and the world is endless. The history of the birth of a spatial world is not something that weak Immortal cultivators like us can know.
"Not to mention an Immortal Monarch cultivator like me, even countless Ancient Immortals would find it difficult to know when the Immortal Realm was born.
"After all, the era I lived in was already the end of the Ancient Immortal Era. As for how long the Ancient Immortal Era existed, it was already very vague at that time. There were many different opinions.
"Whether it was a hundred billion years, a trillion years, or even longer, it's impossible to verify.
"Even Ancient Immortals were just weak ants under the Heavenly Dao. Even if their lifespans were endless, they still had to face the greatest challenge of transcending the Immortal Tribulation. How could it be compared to the time of a spatial world?
"In the history of the Immortal Realm's development, the Immortal Cultivators were constantly changing. It's estimated that other than the first batch of Immortal Cultivators, no one knows when the Immortal Realm was born."
High Priestess Anya said with awe and emotion.
Upon hearing this, Luo Ping and the other two also felt infinite awe in their hearts. With the gradual improvement of their cultivation, they increasingly found their own insignificance.
The scope of people's knowledge was like a circle. The more they knew, the bigger the circle. Similarly, the boundary of the circle was exposed to more unknown areas.
"Senior, it's said that the Elf Clan's lifespan is at the forefront of many races. Is this true?"
Luo Ping thought of this question and asked.
