The environment of Xuanyu is filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers during the day, like a fairyland on earth.
The night was like purgatory, filled with slaughter and death, and the stench of decay permeated the air!
No one can change the environment here.
However, the immortal Xuanxian transformed this canyon into a paradise that glows even at night.
Furthermore, not a single ferocious, decaying monster dared to approach this place!
This demonstrates the extraordinary abilities of this mystical immortal!
At least, neither Chen Xuan nor the Emperor of Fengdu could transform this canyon into this state.
Although Chen Xuan could use the Law of Creation to create a paradise in a short time, the real paradise transformed by the Law of Creation would soon collapse due to the suppression of the Great Dao of Mystery.
The vulture had shrunk to only one meter in size, and there was a nest made of branches in the canyon, which was its den.
It settled comfortably in its nest to rest. It had just eaten a Great Emperor-level maggot king and hadn't digested it yet. Once it finished refining it, its strength would increase considerably.
Chen Xuan and the others sat down at the stone table in front of the thatched hut.
Xuanxian brewed a pot of tea, its aroma filling the air. After pouring some for the two of them, he leisurely took a sip himself.
"Fellow Daoist Xuan, you mentioned earlier that there are three theories about the Xuan Venerable's demise in the Xuan Realm. May I ask what those three theories are?"
Chen Xuan asked, "The reason they came here is also to hear about this matter."
Xuanxian took a sip of tea; it was sweet and had a lingering aftertaste.
His gaze swept over Chen Xuan and the Emperor of Fengdu, and he smiled slightly: "The first theory is that Xuanzun was killed by Huangtianzun."
"In that era, the only person capable of killing him was the Desolate Heavenly Venerable."
"Even the immortal god of the divine realm, the twelve-winged seraphim of the immortal realm, the ten-turn wheel lord of the heavenly realm, or the demon lord of the demon realm, or the ancestral dragon of the dragon realm, none of them have the ability to kill him!"
"Only the Desolate Celestial Venerable possesses such power!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan and the Emperor of Fengdu exchanged a glance.
They seemed to have heard of this claim as well.
However, the Desolate Celestial Venerable had no reason to kill the Profound Venerable.
Xuanxian slowly spoke: "Of course, most people do not agree with this statement, because Huangtianzun and Xuanzun have no grudges against each other."
"Furthermore, since the appearance of the Desolate Celestial Venerable in all the heavens and myriad realms, he has never killed any Supreme Being. Even if a Supreme Being offended him, he merely punished and suppressed him."
The Emperor of Fengdu interjected, "What is the second possibility?"
Xuanxian glanced at him, cleared his throat slowly, and began to speak:
"The second theory is that the Venerable Master himself passed away peacefully."
"To die peacefully in meditation?"
Chen Xuan immediately looked puzzled.
A supreme expert has already achieved immortality, so how could they possibly pass away on their own?
"That's ridiculous and impossible. It's more likely that he was killed by the Desolate Celestial Venerable."
The Emperor of Fengdu shook his head directly.
How could a supreme being simply pass away on his own?
"You don't understand. The profound Dao that Xuanzun cultivated is extremely mysterious. It's not surprising that he suddenly passed away."
"He himself was half divine and half demonic. Therefore, some supreme beings speculated that he may have been in this region where his divine and demonic nature clashed and could not be suppressed, leading to the collapse of his Great Dao, his demonic possession, and his fall."
Xuanxian's explanation.
"He's already become a supreme being, how could he possibly suffer a qi deviation? I don't believe it." The Emperor of Fengdu shook his head.
Chen Xuan stroked his chin and said, "If the Venerable Xuan has suffered injuries to the Great Dao in the past, and his Great Dao is incomplete or has cracks, it is not impossible for him to suffer from demonic possession."
He thought of the Spirit Lord.
Why does the Spirit Lord need to reincarnate?
It was precisely because the cracks in her Great Dao were irreparable and began to spread to an uncontrollable degree.
So, does the Xuanzun, who is so powerful that he can be compared with the Undying God, the Ancestral Dragon of the Dragon Realm, the Demon Lord of the Demon Realm, and other top supreme beings, also have scars on his Great Dao?
"Whether the Mysterious Venerable has any Great Dao injuries, no one knows. Perhaps one person throughout history knows, but he has said nothing."
Xuanxian spoke.
"The person you're talking about, is it Shi Zun?"
Chen Xuan said that the relationship between Shi Zun and Xuan Zun was very different; the two even jointly crafted a supreme Dao artifact.
Furthermore, after the fall of Xuanzun, Shizun went to the Xuan Domain many times to investigate the reason for Xuanzun's demise!
"Hmm, I think that during the Boundary Sea Era, the Stone Venerable must have already known the truth, but he remained silent. It was precisely because he remained silent that the Supreme Beings of the Mystic Realm had a third guess."
Xuanxian paused here.
The Emperor of Fengdu urged impatiently, "Don't keep us in suspense! What's the third guess?"
Xuanxian didn't speak, but he stretched out a finger and pointed to the sky.
The Emperor of Fengdu immediately looked up and saw that the sky was pitch black, without a single star.
"What exactly are you trying to say?" The Emperor of Fengdu frowned.
Xuanxian suddenly became extremely serious.
His finger was still pointing towards the sky.
Chen Xuan's eyes narrowed into slits instantly.
He seemed to realize something, and slowly asked, "You mean, Heaven?"
Xuanxian's eyes immediately showed appreciation.
The Emperor of Fengdu's gaze immediately sharpened.
He didn't know what the heavens were, but he had heard of them!
Why have the divine realm repeatedly invaded the realm between Yin and Yang?
It is said that this was done to please the heavens!
"What is the Heavenly Lord? Is it a powerful being? Or a will? Or perhaps, a place?"
Chen Xuan inquired.
Xuanxian shook his head and said with a wry smile, "This is not something I am qualified to know."
"However, it is said that the reason why the Desolate Celestial Venerable cut down the World Tree may be related to the heavens."
"The reason why the Mysterious Venerable perished was because he comprehended the Way of Immortality within the Great Dao of Mystery; therefore, he could not live!"
Chen Xuan and the Emperor of Fengdu were immediately horrified, and almost simultaneously blurted out, "The path to immortality?"
No one can live forever!
Even the supreme being can only live as long as heaven and earth!
But who knows if there will ever be a day when the world ends?
If one day, even heaven and earth grow old and reach their end.
So, will even the supreme being age and decay along with it?
Therefore, even the most powerful being is only said to be as long-lived as heaven and earth, having attained immortality.
As for immortality, no one can achieve it!
But Xuanzun comprehended the way to immortality?
This is absolutely outrageous!
Therefore, the so-called Heaven cannot keep him!
Of course, this is just one of the three speculations about the fall of Xuanzun!
"I forgot to tell you something."
Xuanxian finished the remaining half of his tea in one gulp, then revealed a smile.
