Chapter 1745

"Helpless, helpless."

The Endless Sea Sovereign revealed his true emotions, repeating the word "helpless", expressing extreme resignation.

"Do you want to know everything that happened back then?"

The Endless Sea Sovereign gazed at Ye Xuan, his eyes complex.

Ye Xuan nodded, saying, "Not just back then, ideally everything."

The Endless Sea Sovereign nodded slightly, saying, "Follow me."

He turned and walked away.

Ye Xuan followed closely behind.

The two of them didn’t speak on the way.

Soon, the Endless Sea Sovereign led Ye Xuan through the Sea Forest and arrived in front of a giant mystical clamshell.

This mystical clamshell was as large as a mountain, emitting a faint Immortal Light, surrounded by Chaos Mist.

At this moment, as the Endless Sea Sovereign arrived, the mystical clamshell slowly opened.

Inside the mystical clamshell, there was surprisingly a Cave Heaven Blessed Land.

The Endless Sea Sovereign flew into it.

Ye Xuan looked around at everything, guessing this place might be where the Endless Sea Sovereign usually sleeps.

The concentration of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi was as rich as the deepest part of Dao Chu Ancient Land’s Dao Chu Cliff.

Upon entering this Cave Heaven Blessed Land, he realized it was even more exquisite, perfectly embodying the ancient saying "a world in a grain of sand, a Bodhi in a leaf."

Within this mystical clamshell’s Cave Heaven Blessed Land, many small worlds of the heavens were hidden.

The Endless Sea Sovereign swept past those small worlds, entering the central Immortal Mansion.

The Immortal Mansion was not large, built within a mountain, like a Daoist temple.

The plaque had two words on it — Immortal Mansion.

"We’ve arrived."

Upon landing at the entrance of the Immortal Mansion, the Endless Sea Sovereign said hoarsely.

After Ye Xuan landed, his pupils slightly contracted.

The power of this place caused one of the two Ancient Characters in his Emperor Soul, the character "Immortal", to tremble significantly.

This situation was very similar to when Mo Qiankun contributed that Immortal Stone to Ye Xuan earlier.

"Is there Immortal Qi here?"

Ye Xuan speculated in his mind.

"What’s wrong?"

The Endless Sea Sovereign noticed Ye Xuan’s unusual behavior and turned to look.

Ye Xuan shook his head slightly, saying, "Nothing, just surprised by the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi in your Immortal Mansion, it seems quite unusual."

The Endless Sea Sovereign withdrew his gaze, stepped over the threshold of the Immortal Mansion, and said, "Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, that’s a term from after the downfall of the world."

"Before that battle appeared, we called it... Immortal Qi."

Ye Xuan, following behind the Endless Sea Sovereign, paused slightly upon hearing this, looking at the slightly desolate figure of the Endless Sea Sovereign, as if he could faintly see the downfall of an ancient and grand era.

Ye Xuan followed up, saying, "So, before that battle, the concentration of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi was as rich as it is now?"

The Endless Sea Sovereign did not turn back, his voice slowly transmitted, "Hundreds, thousands, even tens of thousands times more than now, was just the basic level."

A gleam of insight flashed in Ye Xuan’s eyes.

Today’s conversation almost confirmed his supposition about the era before that battle.

These small worlds within the mystical clamshell were probably born because of this Immortal Mansion.

Soon, they arrived at the hall of the Immortal Mansion.

Calling it a hall, it was actually just a chamber.

On the upper side, there was a huge Dao Map, on which was inscribed an ancient and grand character "Dao". 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Below it was a Divine Altar, with a few incense smoke wisps.

Below and on both sides, there were simple meditation mats.

After entering the chamber, the Endless Sea Sovereign threw the Yang Demon into the Divine Altar, then sat cross-legged on the upper meditation mat, gesturing for Ye Xuan to feel free.

Ye Xuan pulled over a meditation mat and sat down, waiting for the Endless Sea Sovereign to continue the earlier topic.

"How do I put it..."

Sitting on the meditation mat, the Endless Sea Sovereign regained a little vitality, rubbing his forehead, his voice no longer hoarse, showing a bit more energy, "Actually, with your knowledge, you already have a general understanding of that battle, and perhaps know quite a bit about the events prior. But since you’ve asked, today I’ll reveal these matters to you fully."

"Listening intently."

Ye Xuan sat upright with a solemn expression.

The Endless Sea Sovereign’s face showed a hint of recollection, slowly saying, "That was the Immortal Ancient Era, also known as the Immortal Ancient Great Era. This realm was the Ancient Immortal Realm, encompassing an endless vast universe, with no boundaries to speak of. At that time, nature’s spiritual energy and Heaven and Earth Essence Qi were collectively called Immortal Qi, and all beings cultivated by absorbing Immortal Qi, attaining the Dao and becoming Immortal, everyone was Changsheng."

"I was also born in that era, witnessing the splendor of the Immortal Ancient Great Era."

"Until one day, the ancient Emperor Pass Great Wall, its beacon was lit, and a group of mysterious and powerful existences arrived."

"They were called, the Sovereigns of Dou Tian!"

At this point, the Endless Sea Sovereign’s face had a hint of cold killing intent and resentment.

The appearance of this group broke the balance of the Ancient Immortal Realm.

Countless beings died tragically.

"No one had ever heard of the Sovereigns of Dou Tian, this group seemed to have appeared out of thin air, extremely powerful, comparable to the ancient Immortal Kings, and utterly indomitable."

"Ancient Immortal Kings emerged from seclusion to go to the Emperor Pass Great Wall to fight against the Sovereigns of Dou Tian."

"But once the real battle started, it was discovered that the power of Sovereigns of Dou Tian was even above the Immortal Kings."

"That day, the Emperor Pass Great Wall was stained with the blood of Immortal Kings, shaking the entire Ancient Immortal Realm."

"This event alarmed the Hong Yao Immortal Emperor, the strongest in the Ancient Immortal Realm, who led us in a powerful counterattack, and for a time, nearly annihilated the Sovereigns of Dou Tian."

"That battle, we won."

The Endless Sea Sovereign couldn’t help but show a hint of excitement on his face.

But the next moment, his eyes showed despair: "We never expected that the Sovereigns of Dou Tian were just the vanguard. Their Dou Tian Divine Domain initiated a prolonged invasion against the Ancient Immortal Realm afterwards."

"The Ancient Immortal Realm fell into the brink of collapse."

"We tried to negotiate, but the other side never showed any intent to negotiate. In their view, it was to completely crush our Ancient Immortal Realm."

"In the long battle, as more and more Immortal Kings fell, we became less capable of retaliation, with fewer and fewer strong individuals guarding the Emperor Pass Great Wall, until eventually Hong Yao Immortal Emperor had to personally guard the largest Emperor Pass Great Wall."

The Endless Sea Sovereign continued speaking.

"Hmm?"

But Ye Xuan frowned, he couldn’t hear what the Endless Sea Sovereign said next.

It seemed like some power had muted it.

At this moment, the Endless Sea Sovereign also felt something was wrong, looking towards a certain part of the void.

There, a lady’s silhouette was floating.

Upon seeing that silhouette, the Endless Sea Sovereign lost his composure: "Immortal Emperor!?"

Hong Yao Immortal Emperor!?

The silhouette slowly turned around, it was Zhou Youwei.

Also known as Hong Yao Immortal Emperor!

She looked at the Endless Sea Sovereign coldly, saying, "You have called my true name multiple times, revealing the Heavenly Mechanism, what is your intent?"

The Endless Sea Sovereign felt a chill over his entire body.
