Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword

Chapter 607: Chapter 584: One Step Behind (3/3)

The Immortal Realm had experienced a near-total disaster a million years ago, which is said to have claimed vast numbers of lives. Even the Creation Emperor only possessed a lifespan of up to 300,000 years and no one from that era has survived to the present day.

Exactly how that disaster came about, who was fighting whom in that great battle, has become completely untraceable!

It seems that Huo Tian and the original owner of the Black Sword never appeared in the Immortal Realm, and the same goes for Huo Tian’s mortal enemy. A million years ago, her Daoist sanctuary existed within the Immortal Realm, but now it’s nowhere to be found!

Even if several Peerless Experts perished together in that great battle a million years ago, how could such powerful beings disappear without a trace? The Great Eternal Emperor disappeared for a hundred thousand years and yet his illustrious name lives on. The lifespan of Immortal Realm cultivators is long, and even for someone as long-lived as the Creation Emperor, a million years is merely three or four generations passed on. How is it then that they could vanish so completely?

Could it be that this particular chapter of history is taboo, known only to a select few?

Indeed, a million years isn’t too long for the lifespan of the Creation Emperor, but for the cultivators of Xihai City, a million years represent the passage of thirty to forty generations. It’s quite normal for many secrets to be lost.

To uncover information about Huo Tian and the original owner of the Black Sword, one must go to high-tier Immortal Cities, perhaps even to Juexian City, and furthermore, to the few families that have a continuous lineage from the Creation Emperor.

Zhou Heng set aside the whirlwind of thoughts in his heart and flew southward with the others. As the gravity had decreased several folds here, their speed had naturally increased greatly. According to Yang Lanxin’s estimate, they would reach Nine Beasts Valley, where the Moonlight Lotus grows, in a day’s time.

Nine Beasts Valley is home to nine peak Moonlight Emperor level Demon Beasts, which is why it’s called Nine Beasts Valley. To obtain the Moonlight Lotus, one must pass through the territories of these nine peak Moonlight Emperor Demon Beasts!

Although all nine Demon Beasts are at the peak Moonlight Emperor level, Realm does not equate to Battle Power. The last guarding Demon Beast has a strength that is at least ten times, perhaps even a hundred times, greater than the first!

They are unable to leave Nine Beasts Valley because their purpose is to stand guard, to watch, and to complicate matters for treasure-seeking cultivators. It doesn’t matter if the cultivators die; there will be more after a hundred years.
