Chapter 982 The Secret of the True Immortal in the World
"I caused the unusual movement in the fishing pond? Fellow Daoist, you think too highly of me."
The golden figure first laughed at himself, then began to introduce himself: "My real name is Baihua Taoist, and I am the leader of the Tianlian Sect in Wansheng Realm..."
"But that was thousands of years ago."
Taoist Baihua said with a gloomy tone: "Back then, the [No] spell suddenly broke out and swept across all realms. Although the Wansheng Realm tried its best to resist, it still couldn't stop it from spreading. We had no choice but to abandon the realm and flee. We originally wanted to find a safe place to take refuge, but we didn't expect..."
"Everywhere I pass, there are scenes of the end of the world."
The golden figure of Baihua Taoist flickered slightly, as if blown by a light breeze, showing that her heart was extremely restless. Even after so much time had passed, every time she recalled the scene of that year, her heart was suddenly filled with waves.
"The disasters encountered by each world are different. In the star field surrounding our Wansheng World, the gray mold spots are like a surging sea, swallowing up everything in the world. In some worlds, distorted creations appear and are completely destroyed in the constant killing of each other, like a bloody purgatory."
"If that's all, as long as we run far enough, we might still be able to find a glimmer of hope. But..."
"There are [True Immortals] within the Immortal Ruins." Li Fan said in a deep voice at this time.
Taoist Baihua glanced at Li Fan and nodded slightly.
"Outside the Fallen Star Region, there is an invisible barrier that prevents us from leaving. And inside the Fallen Star Region, there are true immortals who use the word [hunger] to gain enlightenment and ignore the life and death of the world..."
"Hmm? Wait a minute. You just said that there was an immortal who used the word "hunger" to attain enlightenment? What does that mean?" Li Fan asked with his eyes flashing.
"Isn't the True Immortal suppressed by the Hunger Technique?" Li Fan raised the question in his mind.
Taoist Baihua was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "It seems that fellow Taoist from Xuanhuang Realm doesn't know much about True Immortals, so he has some misunderstandings."
"According to the research of the surviving cultivators in our various cultivation worlds, the immortal characters [hunger], [chaos], [death], etc. that caused the disaster in our star region should have been written by the same true immortal."
"This True Immortal has the supreme power to materialize the laws of the world into words. With just a few strokes, he can easily destroy an entire region and countless immortal cultivation worlds."
"So, all the disasters we have suffered were caused by this true immortal?" Li Fan asked in a deep voice, his eyes flashing.
Unexpectedly, Taoist Baihua shook his head slightly and denied it: "Didn't I just say that if it was really that True Immortal who took action, our star field would have been destroyed in an instant. The hunger and chaos tactics that erupted during the catastrophe, although they also brought boundless world-destroying disasters, are not worthy of being compared with the True Immortal's methods."
"That is..." Li Fan was slightly stunned, and then he suddenly thought of something.
"Imitation pen?"
"That's right. The surviving cultivators from various realms at that time, after synthesizing the records about true immortals handed down from various realms, all came to the same conclusion. The immortal seal characters that caused the disaster in the lower realm were all written by the same person, or the hand of the immortal." Taoist Baihua said slowly, but there was no hatred in his tone, but it was full of powerlessness.
Hearing this, Li Fan couldn't help but feel a little puzzled: "We in the Xuanhuang world have experienced many disasters. We know very little about the true immortals. But why did that immortal commit such an endless killing for no reason?"
"Immortals will not do meaningless things. Just like the immortal in the Immortal Ruins, he sat in meditation for thousands of years and realized the meaning of hunger to the extreme. He did this just to go one step further and achieve the realm of Nameless True Immortal." Taoist Baihua sighed.
"Nameless Immortal? I have heard of this. I don't know his name, and all records have disappeared..."
"Could it be that immortals also have levels? Not all immortals are like this?" Li Fan asked humbly.
"That's right. When the path to immortality is not yet closed, cultivators like us can also ascend to immortality. After being baptized by the immortal spirit and shedding our mortal bodies, we can officially become immortals. Our strength will instantly change dramatically, expanding by more than a hundred times."
"But compared to the [Nameless True Immortal], there is still a huge difference. Every immortal is an ultimate seeker of the Way. When they are able to completely master a path in the world, they will be an existence that transcends all things. Everything in the past is erased, and the world cannot know their names. They can only be called by the path they have mastered."
"That nameless immortal who carved the Dao with words, we respectfully call him the [Inscribed Dao Immortal]."
…
Listening to Taoist Baihua's description of the realm above the immortals, Li Fan couldn't help but be fascinated.
The information about immortals in the Xuanhuang Realm has long disappeared in the long river of history, and even those who teach the law know very little about it.
Perhaps only the Five Elders Council, the remnants of the ten immortal sects, has some remaining information.
Today, by chance, I have met the survivors of the ancient immortal calamity and learned the secrets of the true immortals. This is definitely a great opportunity.
Of course, Li Fan did not completely trust the Taoist Baihua.
Just listen to it for now.
…
Taoist Baihua continued, "The Immortal Mingdao has already transcended, but he may have left behind a few authentic works of Mingdao."
"Something happened in the Immortal Realm back then. The Immortal Road collapsed and the Immortals all fled. These authentic works may have been obtained by one of the Immortals."
"He copied the words 'hunger', 'chaos' and 'death', which means cholera is spreading in the world. This must be related to the path he is practicing."
"Chaos destroyed countless immortal cultivation worlds, but the word 'hunger' was obtained by another immortal. Perhaps the word 'hunger' was in line with the immortal's path, so he sat cross-legged at the former immortal world passage and comprehended it on the spot."
"You must know that ten thousand years may seem extremely long to us. But to an immortal, it is just a period of seclusion."
"As for the consequences of his understanding of the word 'hunger'..."
"We, the monks from the lower realm, are nothing more than ants in his eyes. Why would he care?"
When Taoist Baihua said this, there was a hint of resentment in his words.
After Li Fan absorbed all the other party's words, he thought slowly.
"These are just your guesses, right? Do you have any substantial evidence?"
Taoist Baihua shook his head, but was still very confident: "Those of us who survived the disaster were all the most powerful people in our respective fields. With the help of the remaining information from various fields, we can infer that..."
"Even if it's not the absolute truth, it's close."
“Especially those who copied the seal characters of the True Immortals and realized the words of hunger, they are only at the level of immortals. Although their strength absolutely crushes us cultivators, they have not reached the unpredictable level of the nameless True Immortal.” There was a sense of pride in the tone of Taoist Baihua.
Li Fan recalled that in the 115th life, the person in the Immortal Ruins suddenly opened his eyes after sensing his gaze. He also transmitted the word "hunger" to the Xuanhuang Realm through the induction of his clone, thus destroying the world.
