The Clan Master Can't possibly Be A Mortal-Chapter 1185: Conversation with the Immortal Emperor
Chapter 1185: Chapter 1185: Conversation with the Immortal Emperor
The end of the scene.
Lu Ling’s provocation of the Corpse Monarch, patting his butt while leaving, was witnessed by the many Immortals present, causing them to twitch at the corners of their mouths, stunned into silence for a moment.
"Shameful!"
Zhen Xiang Heavenly Immortal, having seen the end of the scene, curled his lips, feeling that Lu Ling was really too ostentatious.
"Your memory of this is very important; imprint it into this Memory Preserving Pearl, and then you may take your leave... but remember, do not speak of today’s affairs for the time being."
Zhen Xiang Heavenly Immortal took out a luminous pearl.
This object floated in midair.
It was the size of a longan, entirely translucent, flawless, reflecting Lu Ling’s figure within.
"Your subordinate obeys."
Lu Ling nodded, quickly carrying out the task.
As a Human Immortal Realm cultivator, imprinting a segment of memory into the Memory Preserving Pearl was not difficult; he completed it in just a few breaths.
"Elder, I have completed the task, so..."
"Go to the treasury, choose your reward as you please."
"Alright!"
Lu Ling, carrying the treasury token bestowed by Zhen Xiang Heavenly Immortal, left the Immortal Hall at his leisure, leaving behind many solemn-faced Heavenly Immortals and Immortal Venerable Level powerhouses.
The atmosphere at the scene was slightly somber.
For a long time, no one spoke.
It wasn’t until Lu Ling was far away that an Immortal Venerable with white hair and beard took the Memory Preserving Pearl, his gaze flickering.
"Fellow Daoists."
The old Immortal Venerable’s voice was heavy, "We’ve discovered a great secret! This is a piece of key information that could fill the historical gap of turmoil and darkness in the Immortal Realm; we must pass it on to the Immortal Emperor."
In the following time, the Immortals repeatedly reviewed the scene.
They could affirm that this memory was authentic and had not been tampered with by Lu Ling.
This meant one thing...
The Corpse Monarch is still alive!
And beside him, there were countless Yin Sha Armies.
What’s worse, in just over a decade or two, the Corpse Monarch would be freed from his confinement and once again threaten the safety of the Immortal Realm.
"The Corpse Monarch has been suppressed for so many years; he must have advanced to an extremely high level in his comprehension of the Law of Yin Sha. Once he emerges, I’m afraid there will be catastrophic casualties."
The old Immortal Venerable’s face turned grim.
The other Immortals nodded in agreement.
"The Sun Immortal Venerable and the Moon Immortal Venerate must have severed the land of suppression from the Immortal Realm after subduing the Corpse Monarch, aiming to distance the danger."
"No!"
"The corner of the Immortal Realm was perhaps not severed by the two Immortal Venerates. After all, they mysteriously disappeared shortly after the end of the dark turmoil, rumored to have perished."
"Then who severed the land where the Corpse Monarch was sealed?"
"It’s not very clear, but we can be sure that the deeds of the two Immortal Venerates are true."
"It was they who turned the tide and saved the Immortal Realm."
"But now, the two Immortal Venerates are being labeled as great deceivers, bearing the stigma, how tragic!"
"Indeed!"
"We must announce this news, rectify the names of the two Immortal Venerates, and let the world know that our peaceful lives today are the result of the hard work of our predecessors."
The Immortals present began to discuss fervently.
"We cannot!"
The old Immortal Venerable stopped everyone.
"Why?" Zhen Xiang Heavenly Immortal asked in surprise.
"Do you really think it’s merely due to the gaps in history that the two Immortal Venerates have come to bear such infamy? If there weren’t mysterious forces at play behind the scenes, how could it have come to this?"
The old Immortal Venerable’s expression turned stern.
Seeing through the heart of the matter, he continued:
"During the period of dark turmoil, someone must have known of the exploits of the two Immortal Venerates as they battled the Corpse Monarch and subdued him."
"These events could have been passed down from generation to generation."
"But now, they have gradually turned into what we see today, leading everyone to doubt the truth of the Immortal Venerates’ achievements in subduing the enemy, causing them to bear centuries of stigma."
"Without someone orchestrating from behind the scenes, I do not believe it."
"Now, if we publicize this matter, we will undoubtedly be targeted by those mysterious forces."
"Then, will we still have a chance to live?"
These words were like thunderclaps exploding in the minds of the Immortals, making them realize the complexity of the situation.
"Indeed!"
"What should we do?"
The Immortals felt a chill run down their spines.
Those who could manipulate the discourse in the Immortal Realm from the shadows must be at the level of Immortal Emperors, or perhaps even those Heavenly Venerables who have never dared to reveal their true faces in public.
These entities were terrifying.
Once targeted by them, doom was certain.
"I will first report to the Immortal Emperor and ask for his judgment."
The old Immortal Venerable stated solemnly.
"What’s the matter?"
A majestic voice rang out.
Everyone looked towards the source of the voice, only to see a figure cloaked in snow-white standing in front of the Immortal Palace’s gate, with hands behind his back, casting a cold gaze over the assembly.
"Greetings to the Immortal Emperor!"
"Welcome Immortal Emperor upon his emergence from seclusion!"
All the immortals present immediately knelt down to pay their respects.
"Dispense with the formalities!"
The Tiancan Immortal Emperor waved his hand.
He took the Memory Preserving Pearl that the old venerable had presented, read the memories within, and his expression gradually turned to shock.
"So this is the true situation!"
The Tiancan Immortal Emperor was excited, nearly crushing the Memory Preserving Pearl in his grip. He quickly surveyed his surroundings, "Keep this secret safe. Without my command, you are not to reveal it to anyone."
"To the immortals, come with me."
The Tiancan Immortal Emperor left the Immortal Palace.
"Yes."
Several Immortal Venerables followed him out.
Immortal Emperor’s Hall.
The Tiancan Immortal Emperor and the old venerable, among several other top powerhouses from Tiancan Immortal Palace, sat with grave expressions.
"Join me in descending to the lower realms."
"Of course!"
"We will dispatch divine sense avatars to the lower realms."
"I intend to meet with Ye Feng, make peace with him, and secure an opportunity to enter the Gate of the Immortal Realm."
This declaration left the old venerable and several others astonished.
The illustrious Tiancan Immortal Emperor, intending to make peace with Ye Feng? If word got out, it would surely make jaws drop.
But, no one dared to refute the decree of an Immortal Emperor.
After making some preparations, they immediately arranged for their divine sense avatars to descend to the lower realms and headed towards the location of the Gate of the Immortal Realm.
...
Misty Peak.
Ye Feng had already returned with Shi Youyou and the others, sitting under the Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree, drinking tea, waiting for the Immortal Spirit Holy Spring’s eruption, after which he could attempt to break through to the next realm.
Suddenly, Ye Feng’s gaze flickered.
"I’ll be right back."
Having said that, Ye Feng tore through the void and left.
On the grassland.
Shi Youyou and the others were surprised.
...
Gate of the Immortal Realm.
Ye Feng passed through the vortex to the Tianlan Immortal Realm and saw four figures standing in his line of sight, either white-haired elders or mature and stable middle-aged men.
"Oh, Tiancan Immortal Emperor, it’s you!" Ye Feng looked at the person in the lead, "What is it, you’ve come to kill me?"
"No, I’ve come to make peace," the Tiancan Immortal Emperor shook his head.
"Make peace? Interesting!" Ye Feng laughed.
"We’ve come concerning the Corpse Monarch who has been suppressed under the ground in one corner of the Immortal Realm. Fellow Ye Feng, the matters of the past were a misunderstanding. I was summoned by the Tianluo Immortal Venerable to descend to the lower realm, and I was compelled to take action," explained the Tiancan Immortal Emperor.
"A misunderstanding?" Ye Feng sneered, hardly convinced.
"Fellow, you might not be aware, but we immortals from the Immortal Realm can accept cultivators’ requests from the lower realms to help them eliminate formidable enemies. Of course, this is on the condition that they offer various supreme treasures as compensation before summoning us," the Tiancan Immortal Emperor continued to explain.
"Oh?" Ye Feng raised an eyebrow.
"Tianluo Immortal Venerable summoned me to the lower realm with a bottle of Myriad Spirits Genuine Blood as remuneration. Having accepted the Myriad Spirits Genuine Blood, I was obliged to act, otherwise, it would have been a violation of the celestial summoning oath and I would have incurred divine punishment," the Tiancan Immortal Emperor spoke again.
"Sect Master Ye, this is true," a voice sounded.
Everyone turned to look.
A Replica Ancient Saint stepped through the Gate of the Immortal Realm and stood next to Ye Feng, offering an explanation on the spot:
"Indeed, the Immortal Realm has a celestial summoning oath."
"Each celestial domain is a subordinate interface of the Immortal Realm, collectively known as the lower realms."
"Cultivators from the lower realms can gain help from the strong beings of the Immortal Realm by offering Supreme Treasures as tributes."
"In order to ensure that the strong beings of the Immortal Realm don’t just take the treasures without acting, the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Realm has established the summoning oath. Whoever dares to take without fulfilling their obligations will definitely incur heavenly punishment."
"Thinking back, I was tempted by folly and for an Innate Supreme Treasure from the lower realms, dispatched an avatar to descend, but ended up being strung along and beaten by the enemy of the summoner, an utterly disheartening experience," said the Replica Ancient Saint with an embarrassed expression.
He did not wish to bring up such an embarrassing history.
"So there’s such a thing as that," Ye Feng suddenly realized.
"This fellow is one of our Immortal Realm’s own?" Tiancan Immortal Emperor looked at the Replica Ancient Saint.
