Chapter 1469 - Conversing Across Worlds
Su Yi accepted it, then inserted his divine sense.
The message’s contents were simple. Basically, a little over a hundred years ago, the effects of the Age of Fallen Immortals tapered off completely.
After hitting rock bottom, the Immortal Realm welcomed an age of unprecedented changes!
The old world order had been lost to the catastrophe, and the new order had yet to take shape. Thus, the Immortal Realm was as turbulent as the first parting of primordial chaos. Valiant experts vied for the throne, and the flames of war lit up the skies.
Enormous changes were taking place.
The Blood Firmament Immortal Sovereign’s eldest disciple, Qi Nie, had authority over the Church of the Pure One. He’d gathered subordinates from far and wide, and he hoped to re-establish the Central Immortal Court and seize dominion over the Immortal Realm.
In the message, Qi Nie ordered Yu Liushan to keep a close eye on someone called the Tailor. He said he was a divine emissary of a goddess.
And he said that they could use the Tailor to find leads to Wang Ye’s reincarnation!
When Su Yi saw this, his eyes narrowed. Qi Nie is Blood Firmament’s eldest disciple. How could he possibly have learned that the Tailor served the Goddess of Silent Darkness?
There had to be some incredible secrets behind it all!
Su Yi continued reading, then discovered yet another surprising matter.
In Qi Nie’s message, he said that a group of unrivaled top experts had sent their forces to seek out Wang Ye’s reincarnation. Furthermore, they’d already acquired leads through their subordinates, and they’d already started taking action.
When Su Yi saw this, his eyebrows rose. Experts of the Immortal Realm are looking for me?
There was almost no doubt about it. These had to be Wang Ye’s enemies! Most likely, these were the same people who’d once joined forces with the Blood Firmament Immortal Sovereign to ambush and kill Wang Ye!
Perhaps it was because these top experts had started taking action that Qi Nie was under such pressure. In his message, he ordered Yu Liushan to do everything in his power to find Wang Ye’s reincarnation.
And he said that if he needed help, all he had to do was crush the jade slip the message was carved on. Then, he’d be able to make contact with Qi Nie!
......
As Su Yi reclined in his wicker chair, his face flickering in and out of view beneath the swaying lamplight.
He brushed the message talisman with his fingertip and sank into thought.
Yu Liushan had received this message around twenty years ago.
In other words, Qi Nie, the Blood Firmament Immortal Sovereign’s eldest disciple, had learned of the Tailor’s allegience to the Goddess of Silent Darkness more than twenty years ago.
It was around the same time that a group of the Immortal Realm’s top experts sent their forces to do their utmost to seek out Wang Ye’s reincarnation. And Qi Nie’s message even suggested that they already had leads!
All of this made Su Yi frown as he realized the problem at hand.
After all, he’d only been in the Epoch of Demonism a few days, and he had only reincarnated into the Azure Continent a bit over twenty years before. At first, he didn’t even have his memories of his time as Su Xuanjun. Yet the experts of the Immortal Realm had already begun their operation by that time? That was simply unbelievable, completely beyond Su Yi’s expectations.
Su Yi thought for a long time, then reached a conclusion—
It was highly likely that word of his reincarnation had reached the Immortal Realm while he was still the Swordmaster of Abstruse Force!
“It seems I have to take a trip back to the Dark and Gold Star Realm.” Su Yi’s eyes flashed.
If those experts of the Immortal Realm had begun their operation twenty-some years ago, they were certain to have sent their forces to the Nine Provinces of the Wilds!
“I left the Dark and Gold Star Realm four years ago to return to the stars. Nothing strange happened before I left,” Su Yi muttered to himself. “That implies that although the forces sent from the Immortal Realm began their operation a long time ago, they’ve yet to enter the Dark and Gold Star Realm!”
It wasn’t hard to guess why that was the case. The Human Realm’s connection to the Path of Transcendence had long since been severed, and the Domain Boundary Battlefield had long since vanished.
The Human and Immortal Realms were completely separate. Given the circumstances, experts of the Immortal Realm couldn’t possibly come to the Human Realm!
But that was exactly what Su Yi found so fishy.
If the Human and Immortal Realms were completely separate, how could a group of the Immortal Realm’s experts have uncovered leads about him twenty-ish years ago?
“No matter what, after I return to the stars, I have to take a trip to the Dark and Gold Star Realm,” murmured Su Yi. “Perhaps I’ll be able to uncover some clues then.”
Unprecedented developments were taking place amongst the stars, too. It wasn’t just that the Path of Transcendence had reappeared. Even the Laws of the Immortal Dao were recovering, and it wouldn’t be long before the lost Domain Boundary Battlefield re-entered the world.
All of this meant that the gates to the Immortal Realm would soon reappear. That didn’t just mean that cultivators of the Human Realm would be able to ascend. Experts of the Immortal Realm would be able to enter the Human Realm once more, too!
Su Yi didn’t even need to think to know that if that truly came to pass, he’d be in for endless trouble.
It wasn’t just because he was Wang Ye reborn. More importantly, he controlled the power of reincarnation!
......
“With my current strength, I cannot remove the Spirit Pearl Flower in your soul, but I can seal it to prevent Blood Firmament from controlling you,” Su Yi said solemnly. “Once I’ve stepped into the Immortal Dao, I’ll naturally be able to resolve this trouble with ease.”
Mu Jing shook, a rare hint of excitement on his steely, taciturn face.
He immediately threw himself to the ground. “Please, save me, Sovereign!”
Who in the Immortal Realm didn’t know how terrifying and wondrous the Blood Firmament Immortal Sovereign’s Spirit Pearl Flowers were?
Even fellow Immortal Sovereigns struggled to break free once the flowers took root in their soul. They had no choice but to let the Blood Firmament Immortal Sovereign control them as he pleased!
Over the years, Mu Jing had slowly given in to despair. He no longer dared hope for the flower’s removal.
But Su Yi’s words made his spirits soar. It was as if he’d been trapped in a dark cage for ages, only to finally see an opportunity to break free!
“Rise. You needn’t prostrate yourself before me,” said Su Yi.
Mu Jing rose and said solemnly, “Understood!”
Then, without any more wasted words, Su Yi circulated a wisp of the Sword of the Nine Hells’ power, condensing an intricate Edict, which he placed in Mu Jing’s soul.
Mu Jing instantly sensed that the flower rooted in his soul had been completely suppressed!
“Many thanks, Sovereign!” Mu Jing bowed, his expression full of utter gratitude.
“Step to the side for now. I have something to discuss with Blood Firmament’s first disciple,” ordered Su Yi.
“Understood.” Mu Jing nodded his assent, then retreated into a corner of the hall.
Su Yi, meanwhile, crushed the message talisman.
Buzzz!
Wisps of strange and unfathomable immortal light interwove, and soon, a resplendent, colorful curtain of light appeared in midair.
......
Meanwhile, in the Immortal Realm.
A blessed ground in the territory of the Church of the Pure One.
A thin man in Daoist robes sat beneath an ancient tree, strumming a zither. Its music was like a burbling spring, as soothing as a clear breeze.
Wisps of wondrous truths of the Grand Dao manifested within the music, forming countless flower petals that drifted to the ground. Their pure fragrance permeated the air.
Off in the distance, two fresh-faced young disciples watched with reverence.
Their sect leader’s attainments in the Dao of the Zither were so wondrous as to manifest a rain of immortal flowers!
Suddenly, the zither music came to an abrupt halt, and the flower petals disappeared.
The thin man raised a silently glowing message talisman into the air. A hint of a smile tugged at his lips.
He crushed the talisman, and a curtain of light appeared.
“Yu Liushan, have you found our target?” he asked with a smile.
A palace hall appeared reflected on the curtain of light.
The hall was covered in bookcases. A man reclined comfortably in a wicker chair before the reading desk.
The flickering lamplight bathed his reclining figure. Only the online of his face was visible; Qi Nie couldn’t see his features clearly.
Nonetheless, his gaze focused, and his smile disappeared. “Who are you?”
Formless pressure emanated from the man in Daoist robes. He seemed as dignified as a god!
The two young disciples in the distance stiffened, then quivered from head to toe.
The man reclining in the wicker chair took a sip of wine. “Are you Blood Firmament’s eldest disciple, Qi Nie?”
The man in Daoist robes had a grave look on his face. “I am.”
He was trying to see Su Yi’s face clearly, but across the curtain of light, and under such poor lightning, there was no hope. All he could tell was that the other party was a young man with a leisurely bearing.
“I’m the person you’re looking for,” said Su Yi.
“The Eternal Night Immortal Sovereign!?” The man in Daoist robes was visibly startled. Even the wood zither across his lap seemed startled; its strings quivered, letting out a low note.
A moment later, he seemed to realize that he’d lost his composure, and his expression regained its former calm. “So, you were in the Epoch of Demonism after all!”
“I didn’t seek you out to hear that nonsense,” Su Yi said flatly.
The man in Daoist robes fell briefly silent. “You crushed the message I sent Yu Liushan and revealed yourself to me. What are you after?”
“Two things,” Su Yi said casually. “First, I want you to tell Blood Firmament to be careful, or else, someone might well show up in his immortal cave while he’s in seclusion and take his head.”
The man in Daoist robes frowned and said coldly, “If you’re really so capable, why not do it now? Or are you perhaps far from capable of that after undergoing reincarnation?”
Su Yi ignored this, instead taking a sip of wine. “Second, I heard that you plan to re-establish the Central Immortal Court?”
“That’s right,” Qi Nie said expressionlessly. “The Immortal Realm has suffered the effects of the Age of Fallen Immortals for hundreds of thousands of years. Its natural order has crumbled, and everything beneath the heavens is in chaos. Someone ought to step forward, re-establish the Central Immortal Court, and assume command to bring light back to this world!”
Su Yi laughed derisively, his gaze cold and cruel. “You ought to know that before someone assumes authority of the Central Immortal Court, they must first obtain my approval. And I can tell you now that you... aren’t worthy!”
