In the majestic and quiet palace, the curtains were like clouds, drifting like fog.
Hearing Qing Feng's call, the old man lying on the bed moved his fingers.
His tightly shut eyes moved, but he didn't open them.
He opened and closed his dry lips, and said in a weak voice, "Qing … Qing Feng, you're here …"
Qing Feng stood respectfully beside the bed. Seeing this, he had a complicated expression. Then, he said softly, "Master, as you expected, many of the spirit formations around the Floating Flame Realm have been destroyed."
"The aura of the outside world has entered. Some experts might have used it to deduce this place."
"In addition, during this period of time, the demonic aura outside the City of No Return has become denser. Many powerful demonic creatures have appeared, but they were all exterminated by the Great Commanders."
"You don't have to worry too much."
He told the Old City Lord in detail about the many things that had happened outside the City of No Return.
Qing Feng also understood that the Old City Lord was gradually handing over all the affairs of the City of No Return to him, intending to let him completely take over the City of No Return.
The Old City Lord didn't have much time left. He didn't know when he would pass away.
Facing such a situation, even Grandma Yao was helpless. She could only shake her head and sigh.
The Old City Lord should have passed away a few thousand years ago, but he had been kept alive by various secret techniques and medicinal herbs.
In his own words, he hadn't completely handed over the City of No Return to Qing Feng, so he couldn't be at ease.
"The omen left by the ancestors has appeared again."
Hearing this, the Old City Lord, who was lying on the bed, let out a weak sigh after a long time. He said, "Is the core source of the City of No Return no longer able to support it?"
Qing Feng knew that this matter couldn't be hidden from him. He nodded and said, "At most, it can hold on for another ten years."
"Ten years …"
The Old City Lord fell silent. Then, he sighed and said, "There's no time left."
"There are some things that I want to tell you directly while I'm still conscious. However, that girl Cen Shuang shouldn't be in the City of No Return now. "
"When she returns, I'll tell the two of you."
Qing Feng stood respectfully and didn't say much. He knew that the Old City Lord said this because he had something to say to him.
At this moment, the old city lord also seemed to be immersed in some kind of memory.
After a long while, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "Actually … I've always known that you're very resistant to the position of City Lord of No Return."
"You are not from the Floating Flame Realm. If possible, you would like to go to the Immortal Domain outside to find your past..."
"You've always told me that you're a person with no past. All of your memories are stuck in the City of No Return."
"Speaking of which, I am indeed very selfish. I wanted you to stay in the City of No Return and let you take over. I wanted you to share some of the burden with that girl, Cen Shuang."
Listening to the old city lord's long-winded words, a blank look flashed across Qing Feng's silent face.
He was indeed a person with no past and no memories. From the moment he woke up, he was already in the City of No Return.
For the next few thousand years, he lived here and treated the City of No Return as his home.
In the beginning, he really did want to leave this place and go to the outside world to find out his identity and past.
But now, these thoughts had changed a lot … At the same time, his shoulders had become much heavier and he had many responsibilities that were difficult to shirk.
Especially before he came to this palace, when he saw the children in the academy who were learning Dao and cultivating under the teachers …
Every one of them had an innocent and happy smile on their faces. When they saw him, they would respectfully greet him as Lord Qing Feng.
There was also that arrogant junior sister who was extremely confident and felt that she was not weaker than anyone in her life.
"Master, you don't have to say these things. The City of No Return is my home now. I won't let this home be destroyed."
Qing Feng said to reassure the old city lord.
In fact, to him now, his past and origins were not important anymore.
Although sometimes, he would have some strange dreams. In the dreams, he seemed to be constantly killing and fighting, and would never stop …
Hearing this, the old city lord's face revealed a gratified smile even though his eyes were tightly shut.
He continued speaking.
"If such a day comes, I still hope that you will be able to search for your past."
"Qing Feng, you are the most special person I have ever seen. The power in you is beyond my imagination. The reason why I wanted to take you as my disciple was also because of my selfishness."
"Actually, I am not Cen Shuang's grandfather. I am just an old servant who was ordered by my master to protect Cen Shuang as she grew up."
"And Cen Shuang's father was one of the most powerful people in the Immortal Region. He was the leader of the four Celestial Lords of the Immortal Palace. His name was Longevity Celestial Lord."
"But even from my master, I have never seen such a powerful force …."
Hearing these secrets that the old city lord had never mentioned to him before, Qing Feng was stunned.
Cen Shuang was not the old city lord's biological granddaughter?
Her father was the leader of the four Celestial Lords of the Immortal Palace?
The old city lord continued speaking, his tone filled with emotion.
"Don't doubt my words. Your origin is very mysterious. Even if you can only use a small portion of your power now, you are almost at the threshold of the Immortal King Realm."
"You should know that in the golden age of the Immortal Dao, Immortal Kings were extremely powerful existences. It took many eras for one to be born."
"This time, Little Yu and the others paid a huge price to awaken the True Bones of those Immortal Kings and intimidate those people in the outside world."
"In the current era, Immortal Kings are even rarer. Every one of them is an invincible figure who looks down on the past and present. But I believe that on the day you understand your origin, you will surpass the Immortal King Realm and reach an unimaginable realm … "
He had originally planned to say these words to Qing Feng in the future.
However, he could already feel that his lifespan was slowly slipping away. He didn't know how many more days he could hold on.
If he didn't take this opportunity to explain everything clearly, Qing Feng would probably never understand these things in his lifetime.
The Little Yu that the old city lord was talking about was a child he had adopted a long time ago.
However, he was now called Elder Yu. His cultivation was close to the Immortal King Realm and he had lived for a very long time.
He was also one of the most respected elders in the City of No Return.
Qing Feng still hadn't recovered from the shock of the old city lord's words. He stood there in a daze for a long time.
"So I had such an origin? Surpassing the Immortal King Realm … "
He muttered to himself.
Judging from the scenes in his dreams during this period of time, he should have had some unknown identity before this.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to keep killing and fighting in that foggy space.
"Who exactly am I?" Qing Feng couldn't help but ask himself.
"A long time ago, when the Immortal Palace was at its peak, the existence of the Floating Flame Realm was actually to stop those strange races in the Origin World outside the Vast Sea …"
At this time, the old city lord continued to talk about the secrets of this place. He planned to tell Qing Feng everything he could.
The Floating Flame Realm and the Blue Sea Realm, although it sounded like they supported each other.
However, no one knew that a long time ago, the Blue Sea Realm was also a sacred land like the Floating Flame Realm.
Later on, for some reason, the strange races in the Origin World broke through a crack in the Vast Sea and entered the Blue Sea Realm.
Then, they completely destroyed that place and turned it into a demonic land for demons.
The so-called demonic Qi was actually formed by the Absolute Yin Death Qi that pervaded the Origin World.
It could corrode and contaminate all living beings in this world.
Over the years, all living beings in the Floating Flame Realm had been fighting against the demons that came through the crack in the Blue Sea Realm, but not many people knew these secrets.
After hearing the old city lord's words, Qing Feng finally understood. A dazzling light flashed through his eyes.
At this moment, his heart seemed to be touched, as if some ancient memory was awakening in his mind.
"Outside the Blue Sea Realm, there is a crack passage that leads to the Origin World?"
He muttered. Before this, he had never heard of the Origin World.
However, there was a memory that was engraved in his mind that couldn't be erased and constantly reminded him.
This monstrous hatred couldn't be erased with time.
"Sooner or later, I will step into the Origin World and destroy the strange depths there. I will quell all the darkness that has existed since ancient times."
Qing Feng muttered to himself in his heart. This thought had never wavered.
Even if he didn't know what it meant, he knew that this was probably what he would do in the future.
"When Cen Shuang comes back later, why don't the two of you set the engagement? I can see that you've always liked Cen Shuang.
"Even though I'm not her real grandfather, I've watched her grow up …"
"If it were up to me, Cen Shuang would probably agree. I can see that she has always loved and respected you as her senior brother, even if she would often say some impulsive things."
At this moment, the old city lord spoke again. His voice was weak, but he couldn't hide his smile. He planned to tie the knot between the two of them at the end of his life.
When he heard this, even the usually calm Qing Feng was stunned.
When he reacted, his expression quickly became uneasy. He hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Master, don't joke around …"
"Cen Shuang only treats me as her senior brother, and I have always treated her as my junior sister. I have never thought of anything else."
However, the old city lord lying on the bed only smiled and didn't say anything else.
His expression was as if he had completely seen through Qing Feng.
Boom!!!
At this moment, the heavens and earth suddenly trembled violently. There seemed to be a terrifying aura coming from a faraway place. It caused the endless sea below the City of No Return to churn up monstrous waves, as if it was going to drown the heavens.
The entire City of No Return was trembling as if there was a huge earthquake.
Many cultivators and living beings looked outside in shock, not knowing what was happening. Some even flew up into the sky, but they were affected by the tremors and almost fell down.
"The laws of heaven and earth in the outside world are colliding …"
"This is the Dao of the two worlds trying to merge. After countless eras, is the Immortal Domain going to merge with the world that was once separated?"
Although the old city lord's eyes were closed, he could sense everything.
Qing Feng, who was originally a little uneasy, had a heavy expression on his face as he looked at the horizon.
In the Fu Yan Realm, they couldn't see the changes in the outside world, but they could sense the changes in the laws of the Immortal Domain.
"Master, are you saying that the Immortal Domain outside is merging with the Origin Realm that was once separated?"
Qing Feng asked. In their words, the Origin Realm was the Upper Realm. There wasn't much difference between the two.
At this moment, a valiant and tall figure rushed over with a blood-stained spear. Behind her was a gray ancient beast that looked like a giant wolf.
She quickly rushed over to the palace. All the guards who saw her didn't dare to stop her.
"Junior Sister Cen Shuang …"
Looking at this figure, Qing Feng couldn't hide the complicated expression on his face.
"There are also problems in the Blue Sea Realm. Many demons that are stronger than before have appeared. They seem to want to cross over …"
"We have to make a decision."
The tall woman named Cen Shuang was wearing soft armor. Her appearance was exquisite, and her features were picturesque. However, she was slightly cold and valiant.
She didn't waste time. The moment she returned, she immediately informed them of the problems in the Blue Sea Realm.
However, before she finished speaking, she noticed the scene at the end of the world. Her brows furrowed, and her face couldn't hide the hatred on it.
2.6 "Heaven Illuminator …"
Cen Shuang enunciated these words word by word.
At the end of the vast and boundless world, there was an explosion of endless world light. It was extremely unpredictable, and there seemed to be a blurry figure sitting there cross-legged.
Endless Dao sounds, sacrificial sounds, and world sounds enveloped him. Thousands of heavens and realms rose and fell around him. He was extremely divine.
Although it wasn't his real body, it was just a phantom that appeared from an endless distance, endless universe, and endless space.
However, it also made cultivators and living beings want to kneel down and worship, praying and kowtowing to that place.
This was a supreme majesty, like the true Heavenly Dao.
In the depths of the Upper Realm's Divine Nation, Gu Changge appeared at the center of the universe after making all the preparations. He also stood among the thousands of realms.
He sat there with his legs crossed. Behind him, countless rays of light appeared. All kinds of grand sacrificial sounds, world sounds, praises, and worship sounds resounded throughout the universe.
All living beings and cultivators knelt down and prayed devoutly in that direction.
Buzz!
At this moment, the thousands of realms began to tremble. Gu Changge's aura covered every inch of the void. His figure seemed to be burning and became blurry.
The rich light of the Immortal Path illuminated the world, revealing every corner of the universe and expelling every piece of darkness.
The Immortal Realm that had disappeared for countless eras finally began to appear in the world at this moment. A vast light and shadow appeared in the sky.
Countless orthodoxies, races, and cultivators in the Upper Realm watched all this in shock and excitement. They could feel the rich Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth pouring in.
The two ancient and boundless universes overlapped with each other.
