Chapter 590 - 494: Obsession with Longevity, Immortal Realm Arrangement

"Eternal Immortal Dynasty Luofu Realm?"

Zhang Kui frowned, feeling somewhat unbelievable.

In the Eternal Immortal Dynasty, he had encountered both the Netherworld and the Illusion Dream Realms before, and found them challenging at the time. Now, although they had not fallen like the Infinite Immortal Dynasty, they had long since declined.

Yet the Luofu Realm, the strongest of the Three Realms, had never appeared. How did the Celestial Craft Immortal Realm become connected with this ancient power?

Wait!

Zhang Kui suddenly recalled something and quickly asked, "Senior, you once mentioned that shortly after the Emperor Venerable's disappearance, the three old Realm Masters of the Eternal Immortal Dynasty also mysteriously vanished, thus igniting the Ancient War."

"You said it was suspected they followed the Emperor Venerable to join a mastermind behind the scenes, but how did their Supreme Treasures end up in the Celestial Craft Immortal Realm's hands? Could it be that they have already fallen?"

In the Immortal King Hall, Luo Changsheng was silent for a while, his eyes full of confusion, "That's precisely what's strange to me."

"At the peak of the Immortal Dynasty, we also discovered the existence of the Reversal of Yin and Yang Catastrophe and the mastermind behind it. Subsequently, the Emperor Venerable and the three Realm Masters disappeared, and internal conflict among the Immortal Kings led to a massacre to delay the Reversal of Yin and Yang. If the old Luofu Realm Master did not surrender but perished, could the Emperor Venerable be..."

Saying this, Luo Changsheng fell silent again.

Zhang Kui shook his head slightly, looking out at the dark starry sky beyond the window.

People always say longevity is desirable, but longevity also has its sorrows.

Before becoming immortal, he was curious about one question: those who stepped onto the Immortal Path could clearly enjoy carefree lives, yet why were they all so murderous, with desires far exceeding mortals?

It wasn't until he attained longevity that he gradually understood, that while the Immortal Body could indeed endure forever, the Divine Soul would undergo changes.

Some immortals became tranquil and indifferent, uninterested in anything, and as a result, their Divine Souls became stagnant like stubborn stones, their Immortal Bodies dispersing into the world.

Some immortals indulged in extreme luxury, enjoying all the pleasures of the world, but in the end, grew even more confused, collapsing into endless madness.

It's almost laughable. To gain freedom, one must let go of obsessions, yet obsessions are often the drive that prevents many people's Divine Souls from being worn away by the river of time.

This was also the reason chaos ensued when the Kaiyuan Divine Dynasty stepped into the void. Fortunately, Zhang Kui instilled his grand aspiration to reshape the world into the hearts of the Divine Dynasty's people.

The Twelve Immortal Monarchs were no exception. The Emperor Venerable once led them to establish order, but in the end, they all embarked on different paths due to their individual obsessions.

Zhang Kui had long discovered that this Longevity Immortal Monarch was deeply obsessed with his master, the Emperor Venerable. From admiration and following, it later turned into hatred, even to the extent of faking his death to become an Artifact Spirit...

Thinking of this, Zhang Kui said in a deep voice, "No matter what mysteries lie within, the truth will eventually come to light."

With that said, he no longer paid attention to Luo Changsheng, forming a spell with his fingers and pointing forward.

Buzz!

The eyes of the two Mahayana Cultivators controlling the starship fell into confusion, while the Wolf Demon Immortal looked on in horror as the surrounding scene drastically changed, with rotting wolf corpses emerging from the deck, crawling towards him.

Though he had achieved the Immortal Path, the Wolf Demon Immortal was naturally unafraid of ghosts, but each of these corpses bore a resemblance to him and cried out incessantly, "Father, save me!" "Ancestor, save me!"

"Roar!"

The Wolf Demon Immortal's eyes gradually filled with blood, unaware that a large hand was slowly extracting his Divine Soul.

Indeed, Zhang Kui used the Nightmare Prayer Immortal Technique to hallucinate the three and employed the Qi Prohibition Skill to prevent the Wolf Demon from resisting, concurrently conducting a soul search. With his current Tao Cultivation, using several Earth Demon Skills simultaneously was a breeze, devoid of any trace of firework.

The reason for such trouble was to assume an identity.

Before long, information was extracted from the Wolf Demon's Divine Soul, and even the corpse was thrown into the Immortal King Tower, while Zhang Kui chuckled, changing into the appearance of the Wolf Demon, and sat down in the captain's seat.

The two Mahayana Demon Cultivators behind him regained clarity, completely unaware.

Identity substitution was just the first step, entering the Celestial Craft Immortal Realm was the goal. Fortunately, Zhang Kui had a way, with a slight move of his Divine Thought, a connecting core array pattern instantly twisted.

Rumble!

The entire starship began to shake violently, immediately detaching from the fleet.

"Bai Liao, what's going on?"

In an instant, a light and shadow appeared within the cabin, revealing a Snake Demon with a single horn on its head, clad in golden armor, with an extraordinary aura.

The two Mahayana Demon Cultivators behind him hurriedly knelt in fright, while Zhang Kui unhurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Reporting to Lord Liu, the starship has encountered a problem."

The Snake Demon seemed to be in a very bad mood, snorted coldly, and said, "Useless! Return to report to the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, then..."

He hesitated a bit, "Well, after that, don't come back. The cave mansion is currently vulnerable, make sure to guard it carefully to prevent other families from taking advantage."

Zhang Kui slightly cupped his hands, "Yes, sir."

He learned from the Divine Soul of the Wolf Demon that although the Celestial Craft Immortal Realm was orderly under the strong suppression of elders, various forces, big and small, often engaged in open struggles and covert maneuvers, frequently exploiting others' predicaments.

The Liu Family of the Snake Demons joined the Celestial Craft Immortal Realm a thousand years ago and annexed many forces with ruthless methods, but something happened when they were on the rise.

Recently, it seemed that the family had discovered something, and began to secretly send out the family's forces...

Thinking of this, Zhang Kui suddenly smiled slightly.

The leader of those who hunted Yuan Huang was also a Snake Demon. It seems the news of their obliteration has already spread, and it is indeed fate.

With a plan in mind, Zhang Kui immediately piloted the sword-shaped starship towards the Celestial Craft Immortal Realm. His technique was very skillful; though the starship tilted slightly, it could still manage to sustain its course with difficulty.

Soon, the vast Celestial Craft Immortal Realm was in full view. As he got closer, he could feel the power of the Profound Micro Divine Light. Its vastness was far greater than the Yin Yang True Fire Origin, seemingly gentle yet as solid as steel.

Zhang Kui narrowed his eyes slightly, took out a token from his bosom, and activated it with a spell. As the token emitted a similar radiance, the repulsive power of the Profound Micro Divine Light instantly disappeared.

This was something from the Wolf Demon, and compared to the ancient token held by the Cyan Flood Dragon, it was as different as heaven and earth. No wonder it had exposed its flaws.

Like the former Celestial Essence Star Realm, the Celestial Craft Immortal Realm was also a self-contained space. After passing through the Profound Micro Divine Light, the bursting spiritual qi of the starry sky instantly became gentle, and auspicious signs appeared before his eyes. Cloud seas surged, and the pavilions and towers of countless islands and mountains seemed like an Immortal Palace.

"Truly worthy of the name Immortal Realm..."

Zhang Kui silently praised in his heart and headed towards one of the immortal islands.

Although there were various forces within the Celestial Craft Immortal Realm, the strategic items like the sword-shaped starship were firmly controlled by the Elder Council and managed by the Hundred Treasures Pavilion on the island.

There was more than one damaged starship, and he saw many along the way, some tainted with black fluid, their spiritual qi extremely dim, evidently having encountered the Black Buddha left on the path by the Black Ming King.

Zhang Kui didn't care; he secretly operated the Tongyou Skill, and the Tai Chi Light Wheel in his eyes revolved, and the entire Immortal Realm suddenly underwent a transformation.

On each of the immortal mountains, lights of various colors flickered; these were the guardian arrays laid by various forces, strong and weak, mixed and variegated.

Beneath the sea of clouds, the blazing white spirit light visible to the naked eye rushed like rivers, forming a dense net that consolidated the entire Immortal Realm, simultaneously forming a chain array suppressing tens of thousands of star beasts full of resentment.

Despite such a magnificent scene, Zhang Kui's expression remained unchanged.

In an instant, he saw through the entire layout of the Celestial Craft Immortal Realm. Although it appeared imposing, the arrangement technique and concept paled compared to the Celestial Essence Star Realm, let alone the current Merit Golden Lotus.

Its entitlement as an Immortal Realm relied solely on millennia of accumulation.

Of course, there were also things that caught Zhang Kui's attention.

In the place where the underground Spirit Veins converged, the spiritual qi was like a tangible ocean, and the shadow of an enormous creature emerged. Vaguely, it seemed to be a Three-legged Treasure Toad, its aura terrifying, holding a pearl in its mouth that emitted brilliant light, unmistakably the Profound Micro Divine Light.

"What a treasure!"

Zhang Kui felt a bit envious; this was a Treasure Beast, far more powerful than his Treasure Toad and Dragon Turtle.

Moreover, this Three-legged Treasure Toad actually enveloped and protected the core of the Celestial Craft Immortal Realm, with energy to spare to suppress the Profound Micro Divine Light Origin, possibly reaching the level of a half-step Starry Sky Dominator.

The foundation of the Celestial Craft Immortal Realm was indeed profound.

Zhang Kui resisted and retracted his gaze, turning instead to the largest island in the center.

There, a Sword Qi surged to the sky, suspending up and down, unmistakably the "Great Derivation Star Sword," the treasure of the Luofu Realm Master.

The Sword Light emitted by those sword-shaped starships was powerful, comparable to the Thunder Fire Floating Cannon of the Divine Dynasty, but compared to this Divine Sword's Sword Qi, it was like a star encountering the scorching sun, even making Zhang Kui himself feel his hair stand on end.

Suddenly, Zhang Kui felt something and stopped probing. Immediately, a grand Divine Thought swept over the sea of clouds, enveloping the entire world.

Zhang Kui used the Qi Prohibition Skill to hide his aura, pretending not to have noticed anything, and directed his men to report the starship, then headed to the Liu Family's residence.

On the central island, Elder Xuanji of the Celestial Craft Immortal Realm frowned slightly.

The nearby sword-carrying Demon Immortal elder asked, "Elder Xuanji, what happened?"

"Someone was spying on the Divine Sword. Forget it; it's probably just a clan head plotting something again."

"Hmph, daring and reckless, wait until the lord descends..."

"Shut up!"

After reprimanding the sword-carrying elder, Elder Xuanji looked down at the grand hall plaza, a fanatical glint flashing in his eyes.

There, the huge Array Disc used to summon the Dark God's true body had already been completed. Even without activation, it faintly emitted a terrifying feeling of devouring everything, as if connected to a void black hole...
