Chapter 1231: Taboo Existence returns to Immortal Domain, he wants all immortal kings to come to worship
There are several immortal kings present, and the foreign troops wouldn’t dare to initiate a war here. Moreover, in my countless years in the Immortal Domain, we’ve never had disputes with foreign lands or other immortal domains. Perhaps these foreign ent.i.ties have come to discuss matters with their ancestors.
In the purple bamboo forest, mist drifted, and the radiant light on peculiar rocks flowed, creating an otherworldly ambiance.
Cultivators conversed in hushed tones, speculating about the intentions of the visitors from the foreign land. Many individuals ascended to the sky, their gazes fixed on the distant reaches of the universe.
Heaven and earth resonated with rumbling energy from the unknown source, causing various vibrations. The cultivators, unable to comprehend the phenomenon, remained on guard.
The current Immortal Domain no longer operated under the unified rule of the Immortal Palace as it once did, fragmented into several pieces and weakened in overall strength compared to other realms. The recent loss of the Western Immortal Territory to foreign lands was a stark reminder of this decline.
Now, residents of the Immortal Domain preferred a policy of self-preservation, avoiding unnecessary entanglements. Despite its weakened state, the Central Immortal Domain still possessed formidable overall strength, boasting numerous ancient ethnic groups and immortal kings at their peak.
Just as worry permeated Luo w.a.n.g Mansion about the intentions of the foreign creatures, an immortal king’s voice resonated from the depths of the void.
The tone was cold, devoid of emotion, as if untouched by the pa.s.sage of countless ages.
“This is an envoy sent by King Ming from a foreign land, so there’s no need to worry.”
The immortal kings, seated cross-legged, gazed indifferently toward the far reaches of the universe, awaiting the arrival of King Ming’s envoy.
King Ming from a foreign land?
The revelation left everyone in the bamboo forest stunned. Even ancient true immortals displayed changed complexions, having heard of this immortal king’s notorious name, responsible for several immortal kings’ downfall.
It was evident that King Ming differed from the typical immortal kings. While his strength might not be the absolute pinnacle, he instilled unparalleled fear and dread.
Despite the difficulty in determining the outcome between immortal kings, King Ming swiftly defeated several within a relatively short time of attaining the position of Immortal King. Even fellow Immortal Kings couldn’t help but feel a sense of envy and jealousy toward him.
Why would King Ming from the foreign land send envoys at this time?
The younger generation, including w.a.n.g Wushang and Luo Xuan, frowned, expressing shock and astonishment. However, they dared not pose further questions and silently followed the true immortal ancestor of the clan, waiting with bated breath.
Some time ago, in the Western Immortal Domain, King Ming not only faced the fall of four foreign kings but also came and left in a hurry, as if frightened away.
No, not frightened away, but actually flee hastily.
Perhaps it’s related to that incident.
Could it be linked to the rumored taboo existence?
w.a.n.g Wushang’s eyes flickered with various divine lights, contemplating multiple possibilities. A sudden realization struck him, and he was deeply shocked. Many ancient true immortals in attendance also entertained similar thoughts. It was an inevitable conclusion, even though contemplating particular possibilities was horrifying.
In the distance, w.a.n.g Ziji’s figure emerged in the purple bamboo forest. Instead of genuinely leaving, she lingered as several immortal king ancestors appeared.
Observing the unfolding situation, she muttered, “Taboo existence…” The utterance of these four words revealed her sharp intellect and antic.i.p.ation of a connection to the matter at hand.
During this period, w.a.n.g Ziji sought information about the realm of origin, the upper realm, through various means, attempting to understand the events unfolding there.
However, the responses she received indicated chaos in the upper sphere, with heavenly secrets in disarray. Even the Immortal Kings refrained from casual deduction and scrutiny.
In any case, the Realm of Origin served as the true origin of the Immortal Domain. Numerous ancient beings would awaken, and ent.i.ties from past incarnations would return. Even Immortal Kings would hesitate to venture there alone, let alone ordinary cultivators and creatures.
The secret was closely guarded among the Immortal Kings, recognizing the profound depths of the matter.
Despite the knowledge of the Heavenly Pa.s.sage ancient city’s appearance in the Western Immortal Domain and the pa.s.sage leading to the upper realm, they were still waiting to set foot in it.
The recent events in the Western Immortal Domain, where the four foreign immortal kings met their demise at the hands of the taboo existence emerging from the Heavenly Pa.s.sage ancient city, sent shockwaves throughout the Immortal Domain.
w.a.n.g Ziji had also received news of the existence of the taboo, weakened from its former glory. This prompted the need to venture into the Immortal Domain, hunting immortal kings to use as nourishment for restoration.
An Immortal King in the Central Immortal Domain, skilled in divination, had predicted that the taboo existence would not set foot in the Immortal Realm for nearly a hundred years.
During this period, it would refine the origins of immortal kings and subside. However, the reactions of Luo w.a.n.g and others suggested that the situation might not be as straightforward.
Several members of the Immortal King’s family appeared in the sky, proceeding to the outskirts of King Luo’s Mansion under the orders of their ancestors. They awaited the arrival of King Ming’s envoy.
In the midst of this, Luo w.a.n.g, seated cross-legged in the void, received a voice transmission from his subordinate, causing a hint of confusion to crease his brow.
“What’s happened now?” the other immortal kings queried, communicating through their thoughts.
In addition to King Ming’s foreign troops, Bai Chuan from the Southern Immortal Domain has appeared outside the Zhenjie ancient city. He seems to be in a hurry, suggesting a significant event.
Luo w.a.n.g’s revelation prompted a subtle shift in the expressions of the immortal kings. However, their faces remained shrouded in chaotic mist, concealing their true sentiments.
Their shock was palpable, almost unbelievable. Bai Chuan had been unwavering in his dedication to the Southern Immortal Domain, serving beside Moon King.
What could have prompted him to take such an unprecedented step away from his post? The gravity of the situation weighed heavily on their minds.
“It seems that unexpected events have transpired in the Southern Immortal Domain,” remarked the ancestor of the w.a.n.g family, his expression bearing the weight of concern.
In the distance, the universe rumbled, heralding the arrival of Ming Yi and others from the foreign land. They descended in an ancient chariot outside Luo w.a.n.g City.
It has finally arrived.
Ming Yi sighed with relief, the journey fraught with worry about potential mishaps. Thankfully, they reached Luo w.a.n.g City unscathed.
Members of the great families of immortal kings promptly stepped forward to welcome Ming Yi and her entourage into the mansion. Several immortal king ancestors sat cross-legged in the void depths, silently observing the unfolding scene.
Luo w.a.n.g nodded slightly; a wisp of blue smoke enveloped his form, transforming into a vague middle-aged man who entered the mansion. This was one of his incarnations, not the G.o.d, yet within his territory, the distinction between the G.o.d and the avatar held no significance.
“I bring an edict from the ancestor of King Ming in our clan, meant to be delivered to Senior King Luo of the Immortal Domain,” Ming Yi announced respectfully, despite her ordinarily cold and arrogant demeanor. She handed over the decree, written by King Ming, to two Daoist boys within the mansion.
“As it is King Luo’s birthday, other immortal kings are present besides King Luo,” mentioned an ancient true immortal from the Ming Mansion. His eyes gleamed like a divine lamp, sensing the formidable pressure from the deep void, suppressing the surrounding world.
“Please wait here for a moment, honored guest. We will convey the order to the ancestor,” the two Daoist boys a.s.sured. With the gravity of the situation, they swiftly brought the decree into the depths of the mansion, delivering it to King Luo’s incarnation.
In the Purple Bamboo Forest, an air of antic.i.p.ation gripped all the guests as an intuition spread that significant events were unfolding in the Immortal Domain. The expressions that were once filled with smiles and laughter now bore a weighty solemnity, revealing the gravity of the impending revelation.
The looming question lingered in the minds of many: “How should we handle ourselves if another catastrophe befalls the Immortal Domain?” A collective concern permeated the atmosphere.
As everyone awaited the ancestors’ words to unveil the unfolding situation, vibrations echoed from the depths of the distant universe.
A silver-white Pegasus emerged, carrying a figure clad in silver armor. The stars themselves quivered in response to the Pegasus’s terrible presence. Bai Chuan, the quasi-immortal king from the Southern Immortal Domain, had arrived outside Luo w.a.n.g City.
In contrast to the foreign envoy, Bai Chuan held a distinguished status. Regarded as the second most influential figure in the Southern Immortal Domain, he commanded respect even from Immortal Kings. This made him a pinnacle in the Immortal Domain.
“Lian Baichuan, the quasi-immortal king, arrived in person…”
The creatures present were stunned, struggling to believe the unfolding events. w.a.n.g Wushang, Luo Xuan, and the younger generation grasped the abnormality of the situation, recognizing that the successive appearances of King Ming and Bai Chuan hinted at something significant.
The several cross-legged immortal kings, sensing the magnitude of the moment, abandoned their composed positions. Some manifested clones and ventured to meet Bai Chuan.
Bai Chuan, exuding a youthful handsomeness, donned silver-white battle armor that emitted an overwhelming brilliance. Atop a Pegasus of true immortal caliber, he traversed the vast universe with extraordinary speed, arriving at the dominion governed by King Luo in the blink of an eye.
“It’s good that everyone is here,” Bai Chuan declared sternly, standing outside Luo w.a.n.g City without immediately entering.
The immortal king who had intended to greet him furrowed his brow at Bai Chuan’s words, choosing to wait and observe the unfolding situation.
Bai Chuan spared no words and unfurled the decree, radiating the majestic aura of an immortal king. The luminous handwriting in the law shone as brightly as the sun, compelling all eyes to avert their gaze, even True Immortals avoiding the intense coercion.
Observing the decree, an immortal king questioned, “Is this the aura of the Moon King? Is it her decree?” Perplexity furrowed his brow as he sought to decipher the meaning behind Bai Chuan bringing the Moon King’s decree at this moment.
An immortal king examined the decree and expressed disbelief, “This is a summons for all the immortal kings in the Immortal Domain to visit the Moon Palace in half a month. This cannot be the Moon King’s intention. He doesn’t possess the authority to demand all immortal kings to visit his palace.”
Baffled by the unprecedented nature of the decree, an immortal king addressed Bai Chuan, seeking clarification on the unfolding situation. The Immortal King’s overwhelming aura enveloped the sky, causing the vast starry expanse to quiver as if on the brink of explosion. Under this pressure, the inhabitants of Luo w.a.n.g City, numbering in the tens of billions, instinctively knelt in submission.
In the face of the Immortal King’s wrath, Bai Chuan remained composed, stating, “This is a decree directly issued by His Majesty Moon King herself. I am unaware of the reasons behind it.” Unyielding, Bai Chuan continued, “I am also mandated to visit the Eastern Immortal Territory and the Northern Immortal Domain shortly. The surroundings within a million miles of the Moon Palace are sealed off, preventing any access, even from me.”
While suspecting Moon King’s peril, Bai Chuan exercised caution in divulging more than necessary.
The revelation from King Luo echoed like a thunderclap through the consciousness of all the gathered immortals.
The solemnity of his words carried a weight that commanded immediate attention. The news was nothing short of astonishing—Taboo Existence had returned to the Immortal Domain, and the Moon King’s decree was not an expression of her will but a directive from this formidable being.
The atmosphere in Luo w.a.n.g City turned grave, and an unsettling tension gripped the hearts of those present.
With his strength and authority, the Moon King was a revered figure among the Immortal Kings. However, the return of a taboo existence demanded an entirely different level of concern.
Bai Chuan’s expression remained cold and stubborn as he validated King Luo’s statement, reinforcing the gravity of the situation.
Yes, it’s exactly as King Luo said. The decree is a message from the taboo existence. He wishes all the immortal kings in the Immortal Domain to pay homage to him.
The realization struck like lightning and stunned the city’s immortal kings and other beings. The taboo existence, feared and revered, had once again stepped into the realms of the Immortal Domain. The implications were far-reaching, sending ripples of fear and uncertainty through the hearts of all those who heard the revelation.
