Translator: Fate Translation Checker: Silavin This city that was known as King Luo City. It was a famous ancient city within the Central Immortal Domain. This vast and glorious city that stood deep within the universe had an exceptionally long history. Most importantly, the city was under the rule of an ancient Immortal King known as King Luo. At the moment, King Luo City was bustling with activity as the many Immortal Families from the Central Immortal Domain made their way over in haste. Divine light lit up the universe as scores of ancient battleships descended upon the city. As a wealthy and much-acclaimed Immortal Family of the Central Immortal Domain, the Wang Family also had an Immortal King Ancestor among their ranks. Their lineage and legacy had never been broken, and the man in white was Wang Wushang, the Young Master of the Wang Family who possessed immensely promising talent. Despite having cultivated for less than a thousand years, he had already reached the Sacred Emperor Realm with the possibility of becoming a True Daoist within three thousand years. There was a high chance that he could become an Immortal King in the future as well. Meanwhile, the tall young man beside Wang Wushang was Luo Xuan, a man of great status as he was the Successor of the Luo Family. He was also a young prodigy like Wang Wushang and could potentially become an Immortal King one day. The Forces from all over the Central Immortal Domain had received an invitation to King Luo’s birthday banquet. Luo Xuan, who was one of the hosts of the event, was personally escorting Wang Wushang which proved the high regard the Luo Family had for Wang Wushang. Luo Xuan was staring at Wang Zijin with a pleasant smile. The two figures came down from the ancient battleship and landed in front of King Luo City. All cultivators seemed infinitely small when they stood before the grand city gates. However, the two men were highly distinguished, and the surrounding cultivators swiftly offered their greetings. Wang Zijin, dressed in white, looked a little thin and frail. She felt a sense of powerlessness as she watched while Wang Wushang and Luo Xuan approached. She knew it would be impossible for her to leave King Luo City today. Therefore, she turned around and walked away without paying any attention to the two men. Luo Xuan was a little taken aback. He had a wry smile on his face as he said, “Lady Zijin is truly one of a kind. She’s unlike all the ordinary women.” Given his status, there was not a single Soul in the entire Central Immortal Domain who would not show him a little courtesy. Even the True Immortal Ancestors thought highly of him and would not treat him the way they treated ordinary young cultivators. Yet, when it came to Wang Zijin, all his attempts failed as he had never received any show of goodwill from her. Wang Wushang shook his head as he stared after Wang Zijin’s retreating silhouette. He chuckled and said, “I never thought someone like you, Luo Xuan, would encounter such a situation. Alas, even heroes have a hard time winning the heart of a beautiful woman. That being said, my Cousin, Zijin, is no ordinary woman. Even our Family’s Immortal King Ancestor expects great things from her. The Family has paid a heavy price just to bring her over from the Source World. If you wish to win her favour, Brother Luo, you’ll have to work harder. Of course, you have my fully support. That includes marriage…” Upon hearing this, Luo Xuan nodded and said solemnly, “Rest assured, Brother Wang, for I know what I should do. I won’t act rashly. I heard that Lady Zijin is the reincarnation of a powerful being from the Ancient Epoch and has an Immortal Spirit Mark. I heard that this Mark is deeply connected to the Wang Family and belonged to a formidable Immortal King.” “The Immortal Spirit Mark left behind could very well lead to the owner’s reincarnation in this life. She would eventually return to her peak. In fact, her cultivation would most likely surpass what it had been in the past…” There were two reasons why Luo Xuan became an admirer of Wang Zijin. Firstly, it was due to her looks and personality, and secondly, it was because she possessed such extraordinary origin. Because of this, everyone in the Luo Family, including his Ancestor, King Luo, approved of the union between the two. “The matter you speak of involves many complexities. Even I know very little about it. Either way, Lady Zijin has a special position in our Wang Family. Even some of our True Immortal Ancestors can’t do anything about her. Recently, she has heard about the situation over in the Western Immortal Domain and greatly desires to go there. She wants to use that gate to return back to the Source World. Of course, as you now know, the Western Immortal Domain is now a place where even Immortal Kings dare not enter carelessly. She would only be walking to her doom if she headed over there so hastily.” Wang Wushang shook his head. He could not help but sigh and quiver slightly when he spoke of this. “My Family’s Immortal King has divined that an unforeseeable upheaval would take place within the Source World and that we wouldn’t be able to bear the karmic consequences, so we are not to get involved in any way. Four Immortal Kings from the Other Domain had fallen in the Western Immortal Domain. This news has rocked the whole Immortal Domains. Now, everyone is deeply terrified of what might happen…” “The Source World is a mysterious place. It is rumoured that many reincarnated beings are there, and now, someone unimaginable from the Forbidden Epoch has appeared…” Luo Xuan sighed as well. Although they were the most talented among the young generation in the Central Immortal Domain, they dared not say for certain that they would one day become Immortal Kings. In the eyes of that Forbidden Existence, they were no different from ants. “Nevertheless, I hope you can help me keep an eye on a young man named Chen, Brother Wang. There is something about his aura that I can’t see through…” “I heard that Lady Zijin had once shown him kindness by saving him while on the Boundless Battlefield. When I was at the arena a while back, I saw some of the techniques he used. He seemed to have a connection to the Deep Control True World …” Luo Xuan’s expression grew solemn as he cupped his hand and said. “A connection to the Deep Control True World?” Wang Wushang was startled at first, but his expression turned serious as he continued, “Our Immortal Domain was secretly involved in the destruction of Deep Control True World, and the people of Deep Control have almost been wiped out. However, if he really has a connection to Deep Control True World, even the Immortal Kings would be alarmed by this.” The two men did not discuss this much further as it involved serious matters of other True Worlds. The Boundless Battlefield was a vast expanse that connected endless voids. One could use it to travel to other True Worlds if one knew the exact location. However, only Immortal Kings could traverse through this boundless space. If a True Immortal were to step foot into the area, the turbulent energy in that space would instantly turn them into dust. The Boundless Battlefield that the two of them spoke of was not actually boundless. It was merely some of the outlying area that lay deep within the depths of the universe. One could think of it as the borderlands on the edge of the Immortal Domain. From time to time, people who snuck out from the other True Worlds would appear in the Boundless Battlefield, leading to never-ending violence and chaos. It was a land of constant turmoil. Naturally, apart from other True Worlds, there were also other unknown lands, fillied with unknown races. In short, there was endless secrets hidden within that neverending space. Even an Immortal King would have to tread cautiously there. … In the Upper Realm, atop the Divine Empire. Gu Changge appeared. Ever since he exited from the gate that led to the Heavenly Ancient City, he refined the entire Celestial Ancient Continent. Using his unparalleled Divine Talent, he moved the Immortal Gate over to the Divine Empire. However, he needed a lot more time before he could establish the path between the two worlds and completely cement the Immortal Path. Therefore, he left an Avatar of himself at the Divine Empire while his True Body appeared in the boundless void with the Celestial Ancient Continent in tow. Gu Changge sat down and began to refine the Immortal Path. Chaos Flames shot into the sky, igniting the void until it was on the verge of collapse. Nothing unusual happened during his time away from the Upper Realm. Instead, signs of Immortal Ascension could be seen from the Celestial Ancient Continent and the Clans sent their representative to check on the situation. But, by the time they moved, Gu Changge had already left the Upper Realm and had appeared within the Immortal Domain again. Therefore, no one discovered anything unusual. Once the big red bird came back to the Upper Realm, it separated from Gu Changge. It was deeply afraid of Gu Changge. The act of slaughtering those Immortal Kings in the Immortal Domain had greatly terrified it. All it wanted to do now was stay as far away as possible from Gu Changge. It returned to Peach Village, and when Gu Xian’er questioned it, it had no choice but to divulge some of what had happened to her. Gu Xian’er did not know she had such origins. Though, even after hearing about it, she did not care. Back at the Immortal Academy, Sky King Zhi Yang, the Successor of Purple Mansion, had procured water from the Lake of Reincarnation to help her regain memories from her past life. She had already firmly refused him then. She believed that her present life was of greatest importance. All of the experiences of her past lives were merely illusions. Peach Village was exceptionally peaceful. At Gu Xian’er request, Gu Changge specifically built Xianer’s Palace for her. It neighboured Peach Village which made it extremely convenient for Gu Xian’er to travel back and forth. The peach trees at the entrance of Peach Village were blooming resplendently. The sea of petals was breathtakingly beautiful. Everyone knew about Tao Yao by now, but even Gu Xian’er and the villagers of Peach Village were unable to ascertain her relationship with Gu Changge. The wind brought a dense mist with it. Soon, a magnificent silhouette emerged from the haziness and stepped forward. The figure was spotless and had a fair face with a bewitching spot of cinnabar red above her brows. She was captivatingly beautiful. Tao Yao took a look at Peach Village behind her and shook her head. She soon looked up at the sky before closing her eyes. “The world is beginning to show some similarities to the past, and, just like me, she should have regained quite a lot of her past strength. Perhaps, I can give it a try now.” Her translucent eyes opened once more. The whole world was reflected in them. Seemingly in a trance, Tao Yao saw that scene from the past. She saw a young woman hugging her knees while seated in an endless wilderness. Her long black hair glowed as she sat in front of a withered peach tree. Tao Yao saw the peaceful Peach Village in the distance, as well as Yao Yao, who was playing happily with some other children. Truth be told, as she regained her memories, she began to understand a lot of things. She and Yao Yao were not of one body. It would be hard for them to merge together. Instead, Yao Yao was the incarnation of her lingering thoughts after her Tribulation. The thoughts of her life by the edge of Nether, atop the mountain; the most carefree time of her life. Whoosh The void quivered and grew hazy. Tao Yao took a step forward and disappeared from Peach Village. When she reappeared, all that was before her was a vast stretch of surging miasma and Demonic Fog. There were stretches of mountains and ravines. Demons were howling and all of existence seemed to be plunged into darkness and desolation, like the slumbering lands of the Nine Nethers. “Hongyi…” She murmured.
