Chapter 305: Conjecture of the Immortal Court War Ten Thousand Years Ago
One talisman won't work, it can dodge it, so I instantly activate ten or twenty talismans to see if it can dodge them all.
Shi Chen quickly took out more talismans, his eyes revealing determination and resolve. He waved his hands, his spiritual power surged, and instantly activated more than ten reverse runes.
Rays of light shot towards the armored puppet like meteors. Although the armored puppet was extremely fast, it was still overwhelmed by such a dense attack. It tried hard to dodge the talisman attacks, but several of them still hit its body.
The power of the reverse rune spread throughout the armored puppet, and its movements slowed down slightly.
Shi Chen was delighted when he saw this, because he knew his strategy was working.
Half a minute later, the armored puppet fell in the hall.
"This is impossible, no! My masterpiece was defeated by you like this!" The voice of King Gongshui in the hall was extremely angry.
Shi Chen activated his spiritual power and removed the reverse runes from the armored puppet. He looked at the armored puppet still lying on the ground and said, "King Gongshui, I just found a way to deal with it. According to our previous agreement, you should tell me a piece of news about the origin of the realm."
The Gongshui King remained silent for a long time, seemingly trying to calm himself. A moment later, the armored puppet on the ground slowly rose, and the Gongshui King spoke again, "Hmph! You, boy, do have some skills. As for the origin of the realm, I actually don't know where it is."
"What? Are you making fun of me!" Shi Chen said coldly, gritting his teeth.
The Gongshui King said slowly, "Young man, don't be angry. Although I don't know the exact location of the origin of the realm, I can tell you some things related to it. This does not violate the agreement between us."
Shi Chen frowned, suppressing the anger in his heart, and said, "Then tell me quickly."
The armored puppet walked towards the throne on the stage and sat down. Only then did the voice of the Gongshui King echo from the hall: "The reason why I was able to be crowned king in the Immortal Court a hundred thousand years ago was not because of my unparalleled combat power, but because I know some secrets that the masters of the various Immortal Courts need to keep secret."
"What secret? Is it about the origin of the realm?" Shi Chen asked quickly.
"It's about the origin of the realm." Gongshui King said quietly, "Those who are recognized by the origin can become the protagonists of this era. The masters of the four great immortal courts are the pride of several great eras. Only those who are recognized by the origin can establish an immortal court in the Xuanxian Realm."
Shi Chen frowned slightly, pondering the words of the Gongshui King. He asked, "How can I gain the recognition of the Origin?"
"I don't know about this either. Perhaps only the masters of the major immortal courts know." said King Gongshui.
"If what you said is true, the masters of the several major immortal courts all have the origin of the realm? I have to go to the masters of the several major immortal courts to ask for it. Haha! To refine the powerful person in the cultivation world, perhaps it is one of the masters of the several major immortal courts. Besides, I have no way to leave the cultivation world." Shi Chen said.
King Gongshui was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Although I don't know how to gain recognition from the origin of the realm, nor do I know the whereabouts of the masters of the four major immortal courts, I can tell you the reason why the war between the four major immortal courts broke out a hundred thousand years ago."
Shi Chen raised his head, looked in the direction of the throne, and said, "The battle of the four great immortal courts? It's a long time away from us. I only care about how to save the cultivation world."
"Please listen to me first. Maybe you can also get the original information from it." said King Gongshui.
"Oh, in that case, I'm all ears." Shi Chen said.
"One hundred thousand years ago, the masters of the four great immortal courts invited each other to investigate the reason why the path to ascension was cut off.
More than a hundred years later, Immortal Lord Xuanyuan returned to Xuanyuan Immortal Court and announced his retreat.
But I know that she came back injured and needs to retreat to recuperate.
Less than ten years later, the War of Immortal Courts broke out. The three major immortal courts placed all their battlefields on the Xuanyuan Immortal Court. The masters of the immortal courts fought each other and divided the territory of the Xuanyuan Immortal Court.
Finally, the territory of Xuanyuan Immortal Court was separated by them and became a new realm.
I was also injured in the battle and forced to live here," said the Gongshui King.
Shi Chen listened to the Gongshui King's story, pondering the connection. He asked, "Is the Xuanyuan Immortal Lord's injury related to the severance of his path to ascension? And how does this relate to the origin of the realm?"
"Before she went into seclusion, I heard her complaints. If you want the origin of her realm, forget it. Even if it is scattered in the territory of the Immortal Court, I will not give it to them." King Gongshui continued.
Shi Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, as if realizing something. "King Gongshui, are you saying that Immortal Master Xuanyuan's injury might be related to someone attempting to seize her realm origin? And perhaps this is the real reason why the Immortal Court War broke out?"
The Gongshui King nodded and said, "This is just my guess, but it's not without basis. The Immortal Court War broke out shortly after Xuanyuan Immortal Lord returned from his injuries, and the battlefield was right in Xuanyuan Immortal Court. There must be a deep connection between them. If someone wants to seize the origin of the realm, Xuanyuan Immortal Lord will definitely resist. If other immortal courts covet this power, war will ensue."
Shi Chen asked again, "After the Xuanyuan Immortal Court's territory was separated into new realms, did the origin of the realms also disperse?"
After a moment's reflection, the Gongshui King replied, "I'm not sure about that. But there's a strong possibility that the origin of the realm is closely connected to the realm itself. If the realm undergoes a major change, the origin of the realm may also be affected, perhaps dispersing or becoming even more hidden."
Shi Chen's brow furrowed. He knew this was an important clue, but also an extremely complex puzzle. He said in a deep voice, "If I want to find the origin of the realm, should I start with the new realm formed in the Xuanyuan Immortal Court's territory?"
King Gongshui said, "This is indeed a difficult problem. During the Immortal Court War, we defended the Immortal Court, and countless fellow Taoists perished. In the end, she didn't show up. We thought her injuries hadn't healed, and we, the Immortal Court soldiers, bought time for her, but in the end, we all ended up in a miserable end. We couldn't find the origin, and the Immortal Palace was destroyed by the angry masters of the three Immortal Courts. All of us in the Xuanyuan Immortal Court had no choice but to flee."
"Xuan Lingyun dissipated the origin of her realm into the Xuanyuan Xianting realm?" Shi Chen said in surprise.
"That should be the case, otherwise the masters of the three major immortal courts would not have separated the Xuanyuan Immortal Court to vent their anger and not look for her whereabouts." King Gongshui said.
"No! According to what you said, it's not that they didn't look for her whereabouts, but she was plotted against and sealed by one of them, so they joined forces to destroy the Immortal Court." Shi Chen said in shock based on what he saw.
"But was she sealed before the war? Or during the war? Or after the war?" Shi Chen continued to guess.
"What do you mean?" King Gongshui asked quickly.
"She was sealed before the war, which means she was ambushed by someone. She was sealed during the war, which means she was ambushed by a conspiracy. She was sealed after the war, which means..." Shi Chen did not finish his words. He was afraid to say it out loud, and he did not believe his guess.
"What is the seal after the war...what is it...what..." King Gongshui stopped asking halfway.
In the hall, people were thinking back to the half-sentence of King Gongshui's question.
