Chapter 704 The Gravekeeper



The Land of the Fallen.

Everyone followed the little wandering soul and traveled millions of miles, and finally saw a different place.

The Land of the Fallen was very large. All they saw along the way was desolation. The sky and the earth were dead silent, with nothing in them. The mountains and rivers had long since collapsed or dried up, and there were traces of war everywhere.

This was the fairyland that was once filled with singing birds and fragrant flowers. Now, only piles of yellow earth remain, and not a single person can be seen.

Finally, the land ahead was shrouded in smoke.

Just when everyone was on guard, the little wandering soul dived into the fog and was submerged and disappeared in an instant.

Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou rushed in without any hesitation.

Seeing how decisive they were, the others hesitated for a moment and then rushed in.

The scene in front of me suddenly changed.

The sounds of mountains roaring and thousands of horses galloping rang in the silent ears. After the smoke was cleared, a large army of murderous people rushed out. The sky and the earth changed color and the earth broke apart. It was like the world in the Dharma Ending Age, the sky had fallen.

"What is this?" Gao Han paused.

Zhongli Tingzhou followed him closely and held his other hand tightly. Feng Xinxing and the others behind him disappeared at some point. No one knew whether they were separated by the fog or teleported to another place by the strange atmosphere here.

"The battlefield."

Gao Han: "...I can see it's a battlefield, to put it another way."

Zhongli Tingzhou: "Well, a war in the immortal world?"

Gao Han: “It’s possible.”

Thousands of troops rushed over, raising tons of dust, the sound of killing was deafening, and it felt like the sky was collapsing and the earth was splitting apart. Heaven and earth were in chaos.

It felt as if he was coming towards them, and cold sweat broke out on his body. Just when he could not help but take action, he rushed past them.

The roar soon disappeared, and the next moment, the scene in front of him changed again.

They came to a void, above which stood countless immortals, and opposite these immortals were hideous and ugly faces.

They saw the powerful Immortal King soaring into the sky, releasing boundless power, and with a wave of his hand, the demons on the opposite side were reduced to ashes.

Yes, these ugly faces are the monsters in the monster battlefield.

Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou both looked surprised. They thought that the monsters appeared about ten thousand years ago, but they didn't expect that they had already appeared during the war in the fairy world. However, these monsters were a little different from the ones in the monster battlefield. They looked more like controlled puppets, without any spirituality.

Gao Han frowned: "What's going on? Is this the truth about the war in the fairy world? The enemy of the fairy world is a demon?"

Zhongli Tingzhou: "It shouldn't be that simple. Keep reading. There may be things we don't know."

The two continued to look down, and the scene of the battle changed in the blink of an eye.

This time, a scene finally appeared that looked familiar to the two of them.

A river flows down from the sky, the water is rushing and fierce, and the sound of water falling into the water is deafening, which is a spectacular sight.

They recognized that this should be the legendary celestial river that could allow monks to ascend to heaven.

The next second, there was a sudden loud bang, and something went wrong in the middle of the Tianhe River. It actually began to collapse, and a large amount of river water poured out and disappeared in an instant.

Is this the scene of the collapse of the Milky Way? But they still didn’t see why the Milky Way collapsed.

When the collapsed Milky Way turned into starlight and disappeared between heaven and earth, the picture did not jump to another scene.

The world is silent and returns to nothingness.

At this moment, a sound of footsteps was heard from the depths of the darkness.

When the man walked out of the gray fog, Gao Han's pupils suddenly shrank.

"What's wrong?" Zhongli Tingzhou asked.

"It's him, the old man guarding the grave."

Zhongli Tingzhou narrowed his eyes and stared at the old man who was walking towards them. The old man's aura was vague and it was unclear whether he was a projection or a real person.

It was obvious that the old man was a real person. He came up to the two of them and looked at them with a strange look.

"You actually came to the Land of the Fallen."

These words were spoken to Gao Han.

"Isn't it possible?" Gao Han said lightly.

The old man raised his head and laughed, "Of course not. I just didn't expect that after just a few years of not seeing you, your cultivation has already reached the late stage of fusion. It really surprised me. Your companion doesn't seem to be an ordinary person either." He stared at Zhongli Tingzhou, "There seems to be a familiar aura about him. Is the Samsara Pearl in his possession?"

The alertness in Zhongli Tingzhou's eyes did not change at all, "Old man, what do you want to do?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't take your Samsara Pearl. Even if I want to take it, it won't agree. Not everyone is willing to follow the Samsara Pearl. If you force someone to refine it, it will only backfire. Otherwise, back then..." As if he felt he had said too much, the old man quickly shut up.

Zhongli Tingzhou: "Otherwise what happened back then?"

The old man waved his hand. "It's just a past event. Let's not talk about it. Why are you here? The demon battlefield should have broken out by now, right?"

Gao Han stepped forward and said, "Senior, we came in from Lingxian Garden. The space of Lingxian Garden was broken by people from outside, so we ended up here."

The old man nodded. "The space barrier of Lingxian Garden is indeed thin. It seems that it is also due to chance. Now that we are here, there is no need to rush out."

Gao Han: "Senior, I would like to ask you a question."

The old man glanced at him and said, "Do you want to ask about the destruction of the fairyland?"

Gao Han nodded, "Yes, senior, can you tell me?"

The old man pondered for a moment and said, "Since you can come here, it means that the situation outside is not optimistic. It doesn't hurt to know this. Come with me."

The old man waved his hand, and the scene around him changed again. This time, the deathly silence faded away quickly, and deafening sounds hit the ears of the two from all directions.

They returned to the battlefield, but this time the battlefield was not a fight between thousands of troops, but a confrontation between two powerful forces.

Gao Han finally saw the ruler of the demons, but he was surprised to find that he was a pitch-black mass with no visible entity. He looked like a demon formed by evil spirits. On the opposite side, he saw immortals with extraordinary auras.

The two sides soon started fighting. Demons and immortals continued to die, and blood clouds condensed and collapsed from time to time every day, and blood rained all over the sky.

But then something unexpected happened to them. An unexpected incident occurred on the immortal side, and some powerful immortals suddenly turned against them.

"Do you know what this scene means?" asked the old man.

Gao Han thought for a moment and said, "It seems that demons can possess bodies."

Immortals will not easily take over another person's body. Although another person's body can allow them to be reborn, it may not be suitable for them, and taking over another person's body also requires a price. However, it is different for demons. They have no price to pay and it seems that they can take over another person's body whenever they want.

The old man was not surprised by this, "Demons can indeed take over a person's body, but to be precise, it is not called taking over a person's body, but planting a demon."

The two men's eyes instantly focused on the old man, "What is a demon seed?"

The old man pointed forward.

At this time, a powerful demon was killed, his soul exploded and instantly rushed into the body of a nearby immortal, and roars could be heard faintly in the air.

"Not good, he has been invaded by the demon species."

After a while, the spiritual power of this immortal turned into demonic energy, and he was instantly infected and turned into a demon, with demonic energy surrounding his whole body. However, before the demon had time to adapt to the new body and power, a sword light pierced through its head, and the souls of both the immortal and the demon were destroyed.

Gao Han saw the owner of the sword light, an immortal king with an ethereal air, handsome, cold, and extremely powerful. Every time he swung his sword, the heaven and earth would shake, and a large number of demons would die under his sword.

The old man noticed their gaze and looked at the immortal with a look of great nostalgia, "Do you know who he is?"

The two listened attentively.

“Lord Donghua is the number one person under the Immortal Emperor. He is extremely powerful. If the immortal world had not been destroyed, the name of Lord Donghua would have become famous again. In this battle, he killed two of the three great generals under the command of the demon species. Unfortunately, he passed away when the demon species was sealed.” The old man’s voice was vicissitudes of life. Over time, things have changed and people have changed.

"Senior, what exactly is a demon species?"

Zhongli Tingzhou seemed to want to say something, but was quickly interrupted by Gao Han. He remembered what old man Yuanshan had said, that he was stranded in the Xuantu Universe after a great battle with the demons. It turned out that the demons existed before the fairyland was shattered.

"Demon seeds are something from another dimension, equivalent to the origin of that world. They are born in endless evil spirits and possess immortal power. The disappearance of the immortal world is inseparable from the demon seeds. Every demon has a demon seed in its soul. Once a human cultivator is invaded, a demon seed will be planted in his soul and he will become a demon and assimilate with the invading demon's soul. A powerful demon can also plant sub-demon seeds to assimilate people with weaker strength."

The old man sighed, "It's a pity that the people in the fairy world noticed it too late. By the time they discovered the truth, it was too late."

Gao Han was silent for a moment, "Those immortals who suddenly rebelled were planted with demon seeds, right?"

The old man: “Not bad.”

Zhongli Tingzhou: "So this is the truth behind the immortals killing each other. They were invaded by monsters, but they didn't discover it until the very end. Their reaction ability is really amazing."

The old man heard the sarcasm in his words, but he was not annoyed. "Some things are hard to explain clearly. The demons are extremely cunning, and the fairy world was a peaceful era back then. They won't be discovered in a short time."

Zhongli Tingzhou asked curiously, "There are also periods of peace in the Immortal World? I thought there would never be peace in any era."

The old man was somewhat speechless. Why was the focus so distorted? "When the forces of all parties stabilize, peace will naturally come. Without talking about these, do you still want to hear about the demon species?"

Zhongli Tingzhou shrugged.

Gao Han: "Please speak, senior."

The old man said, "The demons could not be killed. Later, the Immortal Emperor set up the Heaven-Slaying Array and sacrificed the lives of tens of thousands of immortals to seal the demons. However, the demons' counterattack before they were sealed also caused the Immortal Realm to collapse. The Tianhe River is the pillar of the Immortal Realm. Once the Tianhe River collapses, the Immortal Realm will no longer exist."
