Chapter 409: Reversing cause and effect, reversing the cause and effect
Just when the little girl Jiuyao was about to grab the sword of immortality, an unexpected change occurred that was beyond everyone's expectations.
I saw someone took the lead and grasped the hilt of the Changsheng Sword before Jiuyao.
But this person was not Lu Chen, but the "immortal" that Lu Chen had been unable to meet since he came to the palace.
It was a man bathed in firelight, and his face could not be seen clearly.
After the man grasped the Changsheng Sword, he said softly, "Jiuyao, this sword...you can't take it for now."
Having said that, the man waved his hand without waiting for Jiuyao to say anything.
Then Jiuyao seemed to be grabbed by the collar by someone, and was carried to the back of the hall while dancing.
It was obvious that the other party wanted to talk to Lu Chen alone.
But these words could not be heard by Jiuyao.
After Jiuyao left, Lu Chen looked at the man in front of him with a blurry face and an illusory figure.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "The fire on your body...should it be the Yangming Earth Fire of my Qingyun Sect?"
As a true disciple of Qingyun Sect's Danyang Peak.
Although Lu Chen does not need to rely on the Yangming Earth Fire of Danyang Peak to refine the elixir.
But he was not unfamiliar with this strange fire from heaven and earth.
That's why I was able to sense the strange fire on this mysterious man the moment he appeared.
Although the specific origins of this man are unclear.
But I think he should have some connection with Danyang Peak of Qingyun Sect.
When faced with Lu Chen's question, the mysterious man's eyes were obviously a little dazed.
Then he sighed: "Qingyun Sect, I haven't heard these three words for a long time."
"Yes, the strange fire on my body is exactly the Yangming Earth Fire of the Danyang Peak of the Qingyun Sect."
"I never thought that after so many years, you are still so familiar with Qingyun Sect."
Not knowing what he was thinking of, the mysterious man changed the subject: "Not really. If it was you, Daojun, then perhaps this time... would not be as long as imagined."
As he spoke, the scene around Lu Chen and the mysterious man became blurry.
The Sumeru mist that could block perception and magical powers completely enveloped the two of them.
After doing this, the mysterious man spoke again.
"I know that you have many doubts, but due to some special reasons, we cannot answer them for you here. There are great causes and consequences involved, please forgive me."
Having said that, the mysterious man turned the topic to Jiuyao.
"Although this is only the first time I've met Jiuyao, I'm sure Daojun should have guessed her background a little, right?"
Lu Chen pondered for a moment and said calmly: "If I am not mistaken, that child... should be the manifestation of the great way here."
The mysterious man nodded: "Well, in a sense, that child is the way of heaven in this broken world, and it is also the means we came up with to fight against those aliens."
"Does Daojun know what the true foundation of those strange people is?"
Lu Chen recalled the two inherited memories he had seen before, and calmly analyzed: "With the true spirit integrated into the Great Dao, those aliens may seem to be separate individuals, but in fact, each of them is just a product of the manifestation of the Heavenly Dao."
"In a sense, those aliens are the 'sons', and the real 'mother'... is the distorted way of heaven."
"Everything they do is essentially just strengthening the Heavenly Dao of the original world."
"If we don't completely resolve the distorted Heavenly Dao, no matter how many times we kill them, it will only be a temporary solution and will not change the overall situation."
"Yes, what Daojun said is the real difference between those aliens and us."
"It's just that we both overestimated ourselves and underestimated them..."
As he spoke, the mysterious man raised his hand.
I saw a strange eyeball on the back of his right hand.
The eyeball was very strange and seemed to have its own life.
When Lu Chen saw this scene, his brows instantly frowned.
Because this eyeball is undoubtedly an alien eyeball.
In other words, it is the true spirit of an alien immortal.
Let a strange true spirit parasitize on oneself.
This is definitely not a good thing.
The mysterious man raised his hand, although Lu Chen couldn't see the expression on his face at this moment.
But one can feel a hint of helplessness from it.
The mysterious man never revealed his origins.
But Lu Chen was certain that the other party must be an immortal-level being.
In theory, immortals should be as long-lived as heaven and earth and be above and beyond mundane worldly matters.
But now this mysterious man is not only trapped in a small palace.
Moreover, some strange changes have occurred in his body.
This is undoubtedly a torture for the immortals.
Combined with the scenes Lu Chen had seen in the inherited memory before.
He knew that the immortals finally figured out a way to break the ancients' immortality, which was to seal up their true spirits.
As a result, the twisted Heavenly Dao of the Nine Realms mistakenly believed that these ancient beings were still alive, and thus did not reshape their bodies.
In an alternative way, the purpose of "killing" Gu Da was achieved.
But now it seems that this method is far from as good as we thought.
"Have you begun to be slowly assimilated by those aliens?"
Assimilate with the aliens, or be contaminated by the alien ways.
This is the result that Lu Chen can infer based on the current information.
The mysterious man smiled bitterly and said, "Well, if this alienation continues, in another thousand years, we may become the next alien."
"There are only two ways to resolve this matter. One is to give up suppressing these foreigners and let them go back."
"The second is to completely resolve the source of these anomalies, which is the distorted way of heaven."
"Otherwise, we can only continue to waste time like this."
“Until one side is completely defeated, there will be no room for easing.”
"Our original plan was to use the power of the immortals to completely seal these aliens in a small world."
"But later we discovered that although the Immortal is special, suppressing so many aliens at the same time will also pollute herself to a certain extent."
"In order to prevent these aliens from reviving again, we finally made a decision."
"That is to select a group of people to share the pressure of the immortals."
"In fact, from the very beginning, we knew that we would be at risk of being assimilated by the aliens."
"But we judged at the time that as long as we could suppress this group of aliens, the war between the two worlds might soon come to an end."
"As long as the distorted Heavenly Dao is completely resolved, the alien immortal spirits sealed in us will not only have no effect on us, but will be further refined by us and become a part of our own cultivation."
"So even though we know this move is extremely risky, we still decided to do it."
"It's just that we didn't expect this war to last so long. Even after an era, this war still hasn't come to a true end."
"And we... can't hold out until the next era."
Having said this, the mysterious man remained silent for a long time.
It seems that he is helpless about the current situation and the future, and thus feels a little depressed.
Fortunately, this depression did not last long.
The mysterious man put his hand back into his sleeve and looked up at Lu Chen.
"Master Dao, I am here not to ask you to do anything, but to inform you of our situation."
"This war between aliens must come to an end in this era."
"If we cannot end everything in this era, then this war... is lost by us."
The mysterious man's tone was very calm.
But Lu Chen could hear the heavy weight in it.
The final decisive battle will be fought in this era.
This has nothing to do with the immortals' own wishes, but they can only do this.
If we continue to delay, the original immortals will soon turn into new monsters.
As one side gains strength while the other loses, they will indeed be the only ones who lose this war.
Although he knew that the situation was not optimistic, Lu Chen did not expect that the time left for him was so tight.
Because Lu Chen secretly estimated it.
The current Immortal Alliance period is already the end of this era.
To be optimistic, he may still have thousands of years.
If we are pessimistic, he may only have a few hundred years, or even less.
But Lu Chen prefers the latter.
Because if all these heretics were really suppressed.
Then he would not have encountered the situation in Los Angeles where the Black Lotus Cult sacrificed all the citizens of the city many years ago.
There will be no gifts from the Buddha Mother either.
Lu Chen couldn't guarantee other things, but as for the Buddha Mother of the Black Lotus Sect, Lu Chen was very sure that she had awakened.
Because when he was in Luocheng No. 1 Middle School, Lu Chen had once felt the Black Lotus Buddha Mother's gaze.
It’s just because of the existence of "True Cultivation of Immortality".
Help him block this prying eye.
And since one extraordinary immortal has clearly awakened, it is possible that other extraordinary immortals will also awaken.
It's just that due to some special reasons, these aliens are temporarily unable to extend their hands into the Immortal Alliance.
Some special goals can only be achieved within the Immortal Alliance through believers.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen asked: "Do you know where most of those aliens exist now?"
The mysterious man thought for a moment and said, "The alien immortal is a distortion of the heavenly way. After it leaves the original heavenly way, its own power will be greatly suppressed."
"Although we have been sleeping here for tens of thousands of years, we know very little about the changes in the outside world."
"But before I voluntarily seal the alien spirit with my body and fall into a deep sleep."
"The great avenue struggle between the two worlds has entered a white-hot stage."
"According to the information I have gradually learned over the past thousand years, both the normal Heavenly Dao of our world and the distorted Heavenly Dao of the ancients have begun to merge."
"In this process, in order to gain the upper hand, both sides of the Heavenly Dao will mobilize all resources as much as possible."
"This includes the most precious Hongmeng Purple Qi."
"For us, the Hongmeng Purple Qi is the key to becoming an immortal, and the same is true for those aliens."
"So if an alien really wakes up, their first priority is to find a way to absorb the Hongmeng Purple Qi, so that they can quickly restore their own strength."
"In this era when the Way of Heaven is not obvious and the Hongmeng Purple Qi has disappeared, the only place I can think of to obtain the Hongmeng Purple Qi is the Yiqi Ancient Court."
"Similar to the Thirty-Three Heavens being the place where the Hongmeng Qi was bred, the Yiqi Ancient Courtyard is the place where the Hongmeng Purple Qi was bred in their world."
"At present, the Thirty-Three Heavens have been completely sealed off, and I think the Yiqi Ancient Court is almost the same."
"But sealing doesn't mean disappearing. If there are really any aliens awakening and regaining some strength, they must be hiding in the ancient courtyard at this time."
"Because of their failure last time, they will definitely not show up easily this time."
"I will not leave the ancient courtyard until I am completely confident."
"Since Daojun said so, I guess he must have encountered a awakened alien."
"I never thought that in this era when the Way of Heaven is not clear and the universe is extinct, there are still strange creatures who can survive until now."
"These guys, apart from other things, their means of preserving their lives are indeed far superior to those of ordinary immortals."
After hearing this, Lu Chen almost understood the reasons why it was impossible to become an immortal in this era.
The Hongmeng Qi is the key for all cultivators to ascend to immortality.
According to the mysterious man, the two worlds are currently undergoing some kind of fusion, or wrestling.
During this process, all the primordial energy that was originally scattered throughout the universe was taken back by the Heavenly Dao.
And there will be no new Hongmeng Qi appearing.
Unless there is a result in this battle between the two worlds.
And the immortals and ancient people were born relying on the two sides of the heaven.
On the one hand, in order to suppress the ancient demons, he used his own great way as a carrier to forcibly seal the true spirits of those ancient demons.
In order to avoid being assimilated and polluted by the ancient spirit, they had to fall into a deep sleep.
This is why immortals have become extinct.
The situation of Gu Qie on the other side was similar.
Apart from those sealed ancient monsters, there must be some ancient monsters surviving in this era.
Or maybe some of them were lucky enough not to be sealed by the immortals and were able to revive again.
However, in the absence of Hongmeng Qi, the strength of these aliens is generally not strong.
Plus, he had already lost to the immortals once.
The aliens will definitely be more cautious after they awaken.
As a result, they dare not move around too much in the world.
This resulted in the extinction of alien species.
And this is the current situation of immortals in the era of the Immortal Alliance.
Then gather the land of the Immortal Alliance, which is several times larger than the Zhongzhou in the game.
Lu Chen was even more certain about the current Immortal Alliance territory, which would later include a portion of the territory of the ancient Nine Realms.
After understanding this, Lu Chen instantly sensed the terrifying undercurrent hidden beneath the peaceful atmosphere of the Immortal Alliance.
Once those aliens have accumulated enough strength, or the Nine Realms Heavenly Dao defeats the Heavenly Dao of their world.
Then the peace of the Immortal Alliance will be completely broken.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen looked at the mysterious man in front of him and said, "You went to so much trouble to call me here, I guess you didn't just want to tell me these things, right?"
The mysterious man nodded.
He raised the sword of immortality in his left hand and let go on the spot.
The next second, the sword of immortality immediately flew behind Lu Chen.
The mysterious man looked at the Longevity Sword and said seriously, "Dao Jun, it was not us who called you here, but you yourself."
"And the only reason you arranged it this way is that you want to reshape the immortal spirit in this era where becoming an immortal is impossible."
"Although I don't know how you are going to do it, nor do I know why you are doing it."
"But you have indeed arranged all this a long time ago."
"Reverse cause and effect, and turn the effect into cause. You are the only one among us...who can do this, and you are also our greatest chance of success."
