Chapter 1037: Chapter 1056: Return to Buzhou
This person is a Heavenly Patrol Immortal Officer of the Immortal Court, also the enforcer of the Tianyun Immortal City. His duty is to monitor this city, and if anyone mentions events from three million years ago, he will personally obliterate those who break the taboo.
This is not unique to Tianyun Immortal City; the same applies to other regions. This is a rule set by various races and is adhered to by all.
Although this Heavenly Patrol Immortal Officer does not know the history from three million years ago, he has killed countless individuals who breached the taboo. He is aware of the name Ye Xuan, the Undying Venerable.
He has also been very curious about why these words make all races so fearful, to the point of labeling them as untouchable taboos.
However, because of his responsibilities and the immense horror intertwined within, he dares not delve deeper.
Yet now, the person standing before him claims to be Ye Xuan, saying he has been slumbering for three million years. Could he truly be the legendary Undying Venerable?
Unfortunately, before the Heavenly Patrol Immortal Officer could snap out of his thoughts, Ye Xuan gently spoke, saying, “The so-called taboo is merely a purposeful act to erase that period of history. They are merely mortal cultivators. Leave them be, and do not trouble them.”
Ye Xuan flicked his finger, and time and space transformed with a roar. The Heavenly Patrol Immortal Officer vanished in shocked disbelief, and having finished all of this, Ye Xuan casually walked towards the tavern’s exit!
“This… senior… are you truly…?”
Watching Ye Xuan’s departing figure, Lin the Great Cultivator shuddered as he spoke, a fiery intensity visible in his eyes.
Ye Xuan paused, slowly turned around, and looked at Lin the Great Cultivator, saying, “Perhaps I am the person you believe I am. I also thank you for vindicating me.”
Ye Xuan turned back indifferently, his figure becoming ethereal and fleeting, disappearing from Lin the Great Cultivator’s view.
Bam!
Lin the Great Cultivator fell to the ground, his eyes wide open as if his soul had been lost, because he was utterly certain that this person was indeed the legendary taboo existence.
“Ye… Ye Venerable… where… where are you going?” Lin the Great Cultivator shouted in panic.
“Buzhou Mountain is a former site of the Heavenly Court, where heroic souls that died for me are buried. They should not be disturbed by outsiders.”
Ye Xuan’s voice drifted to Lin the Great Cultivator’s ears, and a golden elixir silently fell into Lin the Great Cultivator’s hand.
“Nine Revolutions Golden Pill?”
Although Lin the Great Cultivator’s cultivation was weak, he understood primordial ancient history. Holding the golden pill in his hand, he was stunned on the spot.
Legend has it that the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill is a treasure of heaven and earth. If a cultivator consumes it, they can instantly become Immortal. Lin the Great Cultivator was so shaken by the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill in his hand that even his soul trembled.
“It’s him, it’s really him, the one who vanished for three million years has appeared again!” Lin the Great Cultivator spoke with a trembling voice, his entire being overwhelmed with excitement.
…
Buzhou Mountain!
Vast and majestic, reaching into the celestial clouds, yet the Divine Mountain of Buzhou is dilapidated, completely losing its form. The collapsing mountains stretch in continuity, and the gigantic peaks piercing the celestial clouds are split in two.
Having endured the destructive war three million years ago, Buzhou Mountain was already riddled with devastation, bereft of its past magnificence, turning completely into a desolate and ruined land.
Here lie the bones of the Heavenly Court’s followers, where their heroic souls are also buried. At midnight, Buzhou Mountain cries an earth-shaking lament, a mournful wail echoing through the ages, sending shivers to those who hear it.
Moreover, Buzhou Mountain is extraordinarily eerie. No matter your cultivation, even quasi-saints entering Buzhou Mountain will lose the power of air control, forced to walk like mortals in the mountain, as if a mysterious force presses upon all spirits, making it an exceedingly supernatural place.
At the foot of Buzhou Mountain.
Numerous figures are advancing along the ruined mountain paths towards the interior of the mountain. Multicolored ancient chariots traverse the sky; golden carriages rumble in. The terrifying powers unfurl in this part of the world.
However, regardless of who arrives, they must descend from the air and then proceed on foot into Buzhou Mountain like mortals.
Strolling alone, traversing Buzhou, Ye Xuan, clad in black, his silvery hair cascading behind him, exuded no aura, akin to a mortal sauntering alone in the mountains, which drew the attention of people from various races.
For no other reason!
This Buzhou gathering is organized by various races. Those attending are powers of heaven and earth, with rumors that the leaders of several major forces will personally come. The minimum cultivation of those entering Buzhou Mountain is the Immortal Realm, but Ye Xuan exudes no aura, clearly having a mortal body. How could this not draw attention?
What a pity!
Though Ye Xuan strolled alone and did not wish to be disturbed by outsiders, some Immortals were curious about him and wanted to inquire.
Yet just as they approached Ye Xuan, he vanished, such an unearthly event caused some of the mindful individuals to be stunned with terror, realizing this mysterious person must indeed be a quasi-saint, and they had misjudged.
The mountain body is like a knife cut, the forest is intricate and lush. The decayed Buzhou Mountain has no path leading to the peak. With Ye Xuan’s arrival, the desolate aura of Buzhou Mountain became even more intense.
“Heavenly Venerate… Heavenly Venerate… Heavenly Venerate!”
An eternal desolation, waiting in vain, the entire Buzhou Mountain emits a cry of desolate eternity, which is a mark left by undying heroic souls.
As if in that distant past, they had always called out to someone in this way, waiting for that person’s return in vain.
The body is buried, the soul also extinguished, yet that undying will forever drifts in Buzhou Mountain, even if their soul scattered and perished, their undying spirit remains engraved in Buzhou Mountain.
“Cang hai sang tian, time flies like a shuttle, I have returned, but where are all of you?”
Ye Xuan sighed deeply in desolation, as if seeing the former Heavenly Court attendants fighting bloodily, and seeing those familiar figures buried in Buzhou Mountain.
“Ouch!”
Suddenly, a voice of pain came from a mountain wall, only to see a young maiden plummet from the wall, causing laughter of ridicule from various races as she fell to the ground.
“Little girl! You’re just a Heavenly Immortal in cultivation, do you want to attend such a grand event? I think you should return to where you came from!” A person from the Immortal Court jested.
“Hmph! Demon Race is indeed weak, look at this girl, only Heavenly Immortal cultivation. Our offspring at her age have already advanced to the Taiyi Realm,” a Great Witch spoke disdainfully.
“Truly shameful for our Demon Race. Who is your master? How could they let you come here alone?” A Daluo Demon King scolded the maiden, face flushed.
“My master was killed by evil people… Qingxuan only wants to ascend to the mountain peak and worship the Demon Emperor as a master… to avenge… avenge the old man…” The Demon Race maiden’s eyes were slightly red, and a mist appeared, her words choked to the utmost.
As the maiden spoke, the faces of the great powers were stunned, then they laughed wildly, gazing at the maiden with derisive eyes.
“Ignorant Little Demon! How could the Demon Emperor accept you as an apprentice, leave quickly and don’t disgrace our race.” The Daluo Demon King shouted, making the maiden cry out loudly.
“Cang hai sang tian, times change, a flower withers, a flower blooms, surely this is the karma in the dark!”
Not knowing when!
Ye Xuan quietly appeared beside the maiden, looking at the crying girl before him with a long sigh.
“This… this big brother you…”
The Demon Race maiden was helped up by Ye Xuan, she wiped her tears, looking at Ye Xuan with bewilderment!
“Is your name Qingxuan?” Ye Xuan said softly.
When Gu Qingxuan’s eyes met Ye Xuan’s, she was stunned on the spot, only feeling that Ye Xuan’s eyes encompassed everything, as if seeing the world’s changes. It felt as if she was facing not a person, but a universe!
Looking at Gu Qingxuan’s dazed face, Ye Xuan nodded slowly, yet his eyes appeared somewhat vague, the distant memories reverberating in his mind for a long time!
“There’s always two similar flowers in the world. One wilts, one blooms, Gu Xiaoxiao, is it really you?” Ye Xuan sighed longingly.
“Big brother! What are you talking about?” Gu Qingxuan finally returned to her senses, looking at Ye Xuan with some fear.
Ye Xuan withdrew his thoughts, gently smoothing the girl’s hair. Such a sudden action made the maiden stutter, yet as she gazed into Ye Xuan’s eyes, the sense of wariness in her vanished quietly!
“Once I was young and reckless, brazenly arrogant, allowing a woman to perish because of me. This is the pain in my heart. Since you can appear again, whether you’re her or not, past regrets, this life’s compensation.”
Ye Xuan’s words left the maiden puzzled, but she could completely feel a trace of sorrow from Ye Xuan, and she could only remain silent, not knowing what to say.
“You wish to avenge your master, then acknowledge me as your master. From now on, in this boundless primordial land, you shall stand above the heavens. This way, perhaps I can make up for the regrets of my past life.” Ye Xuan spoke softly.
“Haha!”
Suddenly!
As Ye Xuan’s words fell, numerous mocking voices followed, the great powers of various races looked at Ye Xuan as if seeing an idiot.
“You this reckless kid, deceiving a young girl, making us utterly disdain!” This was someone from the Immortal Court speaking!
“Hmph, speaking arrogantly, who do you think you are? Heavenly Dao Saint?”
“While my Witch Clan has Houtu Saint above, none of our race’s saints dare speak such arrogant words.”
Many mocking voices transmitted, evidently Ye Xuan’s words were extremely arrogant, making them believe Ye Xuan was coaxing this just recently entered Heavenly Immortal Demon Race girl.
