Chapter 1077: Chapter 556: The Initial Battle, Learning of Yu Ting_2

“`

“If the Heavenly Dao was strong enough, and the reincarnation completely perfected, even someone as powerful as you could enter the cycle of reincarnation after falling, and be reborn into a new life. If you possessed the Reincarnation Secret Art, you could even retain memories of your past life when you returned. However, the current Great Wilderness Heavenly Path cannot achieve this, as it can only allow weaker beings to reincarnate.”

Xu Yan added, then smiled and said, “How about it? Are these pieces of information valuable enough for you? Whether you understand the meaning behind them is not for me to explain.

“I am quite curious why the Unchanging Divine Master didn’t directly consume the Taicang Domain after losing the war back then.”

This had always been a mystery; even Taihe and the others couldn’t understand it, only guessing that the Unchanging Divine Master was also heavily injured, thus temporarily sparing the Taicang Domain.

Some even speculated he was restrained by another power.

The Netherworld looked incredulous. The changes in the Taicang Domain were so unbelievable. Why had such a transformation occurred?

No wonder they said Taicang was already history.

The Great Wilderness Domain!

The Netherworld remembered this name deeply. He had a premonition that the Unchanging Divine Master’s plot might be thwarted.

Trying to devour the Great Wilderness and extract its Qi of Domain might just be a pipe dream.

Of course, he wouldn’t report this information to the Unchanging Divine Master, pretending he knew nothing.

“The Unchanging Divine Master did not devour Taicang because the timing wasn’t right. He was waiting for the opportune moment, and this moment might arrive soon.

“He plans to devour the Taicang Domain at the start of the Next Era, extracting everything from Taicang to achieve some purpose.”

At this point, there was nothing to hide.

The Netherworld even hoped the Imperishable Temple would fail, allowing the Great Wilderness to prepare in advance, which would be a good thing.

“The start of the Next Era?”

Xu Yan wondered, “What do you mean?”

Since these secrets were already mentioned, the Netherworld saw no need to hold back.

“I only learned these secrets recently, only then realizing we were defeated without grievance back then.”

The Netherworld said solemnly, “Since you’re from Taicang, you should know some matters of when the Domain was established. At that time, a purple light streaked across the Chaos, and Taicang led us to capture it. Aside from some use for self-transformation, most of it was used to establish the Domain.

“And the years in the Land of Imperishable are counted by this light, from when this light begins until the next appears. This period constitutes one Primordial Age.

“When the next light streaks across the Chaos, that’s the start of the Next Era and the end of this Primordial Age. The Unchanging Divine Master has kept the Taicang Domain, perhaps waiting for the Next Era to start, to devour and extract the Domain for certain purposes.”

Xu Yan looked surprised, realizing such secrets existed, and that the purple light was not unique but appeared at intervals over time.

“I understand now, the Seven Great Domain have not been around for a full Primordial Age, while the Imperishable Temple has existed for at least over two Primordial Ages. That’s why you think the defeat was not without grievance.

“Even the Unchanging Divine Master probably obtained the Creation from the purple light, and not just once.”

The Seven Great Domain, being a newly established power, indeed had no grievance in losing to such an ancient and deeply rooted entity as the Imperishable Temple.

The Netherworld nodded, adding, “The next light might not be purple, and according to the Unchanging Divine Master, each light has a different color. I suspect each light contains different mysteries.”

He sighed and continued, “Obtaining this light has its own intricacies. Back then, it was Taicang who passed on the Dharma to us. I suspect the Unchanging Divine Master may not know how to obtain it, though this is just my speculation.

“What the Unchanging Divine Master plans to do at the start of the Next Era, his purpose, or whether it is to break through himself, nobody knows. He is very mysterious; I have never seen his true form.”

Xu Yan was enlightened, “So that’s how it is!”

The Netherworld smiled as he said, “I’ve told you too much; it’s your turn to share something.”

“No problem.”

Xu Yan smiled and replied, “You might be interested in reincarnation, so I’ll give you an explanation, though it’s a simple one, as I don’t know much myself.”

“Alright.”

The Netherworld nodded.

Xu Yan briefly explained reincarnation, and they both questioned each other about some doubts.

“It seems you intentionally avoided telling me how you came to join the Imperishable Temple.”

In the end, Xu Yan brought up the matter of the Netherworld’s allegiance again.

The Netherworld fell silent for a moment, then said, “When I was born, I had a fraternal brother. When I began to develop Spiritual Wisdom, roaming the Land of Imperishable, his Spiritual Wisdom had just begun developing. At that time, we weren’t very powerful, but having Spiritual Wisdom, we learned to set traps and knew to avoid dangerous areas.

“During one event of consuming True Spirit Blood, I suddenly had the idea of strengthening myself with it, so I began to ponder how to use True Spirit Blood to fortify myself.

“My brother and I spent quite a bit of time on this and gained some success, but one accident led to my contamination by foul True Spirit Blood. Although my consciousness was clear, outwardly, my aura was entirely gone, as if I were dead.

“My brother, in order to save me, went out to collect True Spirit Blood but encountered an accident. When he returned, he thrust a Purifying Blood Tree into my hands, saying he had met an immensely powerful being. He didn’t want to be enslaved and had to flee, keeping me hidden from that being.

“That was the last trace of my brother. You must have guessed, the powerful being he mentioned was the Unchanging Divine Master.”

The Netherworld’s expression was incredibly complex.

“I originally thought the powerful being he talked about was some terrifying True Spirit. After recovering, I always searched for my brother, to no avail. Then came the encounter with Taicang.

“It wasn’t until the war against the Imperishable Temple that I learned he had become an elder there. It was also he who pleaded with the Unchanging Divine Master to spare my life.”

Xu Yan was silent. He realized who the Netherworld’s brother was.

Blood Demon!

The term Netherworld Blood Demon Path came from the names of the Netherworld and Blood Demon.

“Blood Demon’s current circumstances might not be favorable. If he succeeded, Blood Extreme, who once followed the Netherworld, might have become the Netherworld’s brother?

“No, surely the Netherworld would lose his mind.”

Xu Yan pondered internally.

The bond between the Netherworld and Blood Demon was evidently deep. To save the Netherworld, the Blood Demon surely paid a great price, which could be inferred from the complicated and resigned expression of the Netherworld.

“So that’s the way it is!”

Xu Yan nodded slightly, not mentioning the affair of the Blood Demon. Whether the Blood Demon would be replaced depended on his own destiny.

“The Unchanging Divine Master is extremely powerful and mysterious. I have never seen his true form, not even my brother, who is now an elder of the Imperishable Temple, has seen his true form.

“My brother’s Martial Arts was once guided by the Unchanging Divine Master. He is an exceedingly fearsome enemy. Although the Great Wilderness Heavenly Path might not be weak, its growth time is still too much to contend with the Unchanging Divine Master.

“However, having the Yu Ting as a backing might be a method, but be wary; Yu Ting might harbor ambitions of consuming the Domain as well.”

The Netherworld thought for a bit, then warned.

“Yu Ting?”

Xu Yan was surprised, “What is Yu Ting?”

“Hmm? Are you not using Yu Ting as a backing?”

The Netherworld was taken aback.

“We of the Great Wilderness don’t need foreign backing. I’ve never heard of Yu Ting.”@@novelbin@@

Xu Yan furrowed his brow.

The Great Wilderness’s greatest backing was, of course, their master; no need to seek outsiders.

The Netherworld was astonished, pointing at Ming Yu, “She is from Yu Ting. You’re with her, and you don’t know of Yu Ting?”

Xu Yan suddenly perked up, realizing there was a third force aside from the Great Wilderness and the Imperishable Temple.

Ming Yu, from Yu Ting!

No wonder Ming Yu was neither a creature of the Domain nor part of the Imperishable Temple.

“She was just a chance encounter. She paid me to escort her, and I was curious about the Qing Ling Jade Bamboo, so I agreed.”

Xu Yan curiously said, “Could you tell me more about this Yu Ting?”

The Netherworld appeared surprised, “Yu Ting is a power in the Land of Imperishable, not weaker than the Imperishable Temple; it’s very mysterious, even the Unchanging Divine Master treats it cautiously.

“I don’t know much about Yu Ting, but being treated cautiously by the Unchanging Divine Master shows its considerable strength. What Yu Ting’s true intentions are, is anyone’s guess.

“With the upcoming start of the Next Era, the Imperishable Temple is wary of Yu Ting’s interference with the Taicang Domain. I was also ordered to impede Yu Ting’s strong figures from entering the region surrounding Taicang’s domain…”
