Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 1075: The Secret History of the Sect
Be it in her previous and present life, Tang Xiu was quite adept at analyzing things. After returning and living on Earth, his EQ and the ways he responded to people's intentions and behavior have improved tremendously. Although he still could not understand many things related to emotions, at least his mood was not too affected from them. In addition, there was also another reason why he lived on Jingmen Island, which was a matter about two islands in the waters to the south.
One of the two islands was used to nurture ferocious beasts, and the other for the cultivation of medicinal plants.
Each of these two issues is equally important. The children he built would grow up in the future and would become stronger as well. All of that would make the cultivation resources needed to grow into astronomical figures. He would definitely be short on resources if he relied solely on the wild herbs growing on Earth.
Suddenly, his expression changed slightly. He stopped training his thoughts as his eyes turned to the southern waters. He could sense a certain aura being deliberately sent out from that direction. It was very short, only for a few seconds, but he chose to fly south a moment after that.
“Tang Xiu!”
Xue Yu, who had also sensed the aura, caught up with her riding on an immortal sword.
“Do you feel it too?” Ask Tang Xiu. “Don't you think that it's a little familiar?”
“No.” Xue Yu shook her head.
Tang Xiu could only sigh inwardly. Xue Yu had yet to experience a struggle in the brutal place that was the Eternal World, after all. He had no experience fighting celestial, immortal, and demonic, so his sense ability to recognize the aura of others was extremely poor; whereas he already knew who was coming when he sensed that aura.
A turbulent wave rippled over the boundless ocean surface. However, the lumps of raging flames were completely burnt above the sea.
After flying high in the sky for some time, Tang Xiu and Xue Yu appeared tens of kilometers away above the deep sea. There, they saw the Fire Qilin crossing the sea surface and seemed to be looking at them.
“You're coming!”
The Fire Qilin did not look at Xue Yu and its eyes were fixed on Tang Xiu, using divine sense to transmit its voice to him.
“I know that you will come for me sooner or later, Fire Qilin.” Tang Xiu smiled and said, “Well, I didn't expect you to find me this fast, though. Anyway, there's something very curious about me. What exactly is your origin? And why did you choose to be on the human side when we fought with that demonic beast? ”
“I don't think it's necessary for you to know my origin, even though I'm sure you already have some guesses. After all, I must leave Earth and return to the Eternal World, which means I need a Spatial Teleportation Array. All of the Demon Cores that humans obtained went to you and I didn't get a share of them. ”The body of Fire Qilin is covered by high temperature flame, so high that it increases the temperature of the surrounding sea in a short time. Even the sea level where the Fire Qilin stood was boiling and making many fish and shrimp cooked and floated to the surface.
“I already know you want to return to the Eternal World, Fire Qilin,” Tang Xiu replied indifferently. “But as I said, I have a way to get you back there, but not now. I said before that I still have a lot of things that have not been done here, while my own strength has not reached the point of breaking through to the Eternal Stage. That's why I want you to be patient and wait for me. I'll naturally tell you when I ascend to the Eternal World. But..”
“But what?” Fire Qilin asked.
“You should know clearly that it is very difficult to enter the Eternal World,” Tang Xiu said indifferently. “The energy required is huge, and the process is fraught with danger, so if you do not explain your situation in the Eternal World and why you came to Earth, it is very difficult for me to trust you.”
The Fire Qilin fell silent. It knew that Tang Xiu was right, yet still felt very reluctant to tell outsiders about the things that had happened. However, for the sake of returning to the Eternal World, he decided to reveal some bits to this human. “I am a Guardian Immortal Beast from a certain sect in the Eternal World. My status is the same as the other four Guardian Beasts: Azure Dragon, Vermillion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise. The founder of this Eternal Sect was an Earth person, so he left behind some countermeasures when he was about to ascend to the God Realm. He felt that his birthplace, Earth, would be facing a major crisis, so I, Azure Dragon, Vermillion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise rushed here to protect the planet. ”
Tang Xiu's skin color changed and he spoke in a deep tone, “That's ridiculous. The three great schools, namely the Azure Dragon Sacred Sect, the White Tiger Sacred Sect, and the Black Tortoise Sect had disappeared in the Eternal World hundreds of thousands of years ago! Only the Vermillion Bird Sacred Sect remained. However, there was no record of this matter in the Myriad Vault Pavilion at all. There is no such thing related to the Vermilion Bird Sacred Sect like you just told me. ”
The aura of Fire Qilin suddenly rose. His eyes locked on Tang Xiu and stopped talking by transmitting his thoughts with divine sense, shouting, “Who are you really ?! How do you know the things in the Eternal World and the four great Sacred Sects? ”
Tang Xiu released his own aura to withstand the pressure of the Fire Qilin. He coldly hummed and said, “I know you are very strong, Shoot Qilin. But don't think I'm afraid of you. It's easy for me if I want to kill you. Take back your aura because I don't want to cause any other problems. ”
While speaking, he gently raised his left hand and forced the Star Breaking Insect out of his finger, letting it fly and land on his shoulder.
Tang Xiu could tell that the Fire Qilin was afraid of the Star-Attacking Insects. Then, he said apathetically, “Let's release ourselves from talking about something related to Star Devourer Insects, huh? Just talk. What origin? ”
“Knowing too much will only make you die without a burial place.” Fire Qilin shook his head and added, “I just want to return to the Eternal World. I have no malicious intentions towards you at all. Don't force me to answer again, because I will still tear you apart even if you are protected by this vile Star Devourer Insect! ”
Tang Xiu frowned. He could tell Fire Qilin's determination and felt somewhat helpless inside. Honestly speaking, this Fire Qilin had aroused his curiosity, and he would not be able to sleep well for a few days if he could not get what he wanted to know.
Suddenly, his expression shifted and he immediately made some movements towards the Fire Qilin.
Fire Qilin stared at Tang Xiu's movements with fixed eyes. His aura increased once again as he roared several times. Then, the laughter exploded. “You are a disciple of the Vermillion Bird Sacred Sect ?! It was totally unexpected! Hahaha .. to think that I can meet my sect disciple. I, Ravenshell, Fire Qilin, am so happy! This proved the Vermillion Bird Sacred Sect had yet to be destroyed! ”
“Hah? Whatchu mean? ”Ask Tang Xiu with a heavy voice.
The Fire Qilin withdrew its aura and approached Tang Xiu closer, saying, “Secte Five Beasts was the most powerful Immortal Sect in the Eternal World hundreds of thousands of years ago. Founded by my Master. The Five Beasts Sect was once a famous giant that dazzled the entire Eternal World, Demon Realm, Monster Realm, Spirit Realm, Underworld, and many others. My master, Emperor Qing, is a Ruler who is on a superior throne and disregards many races and all walks of life. Some even said that Sovereigns were not even inferior to some true Gods! ”
“That's bullshit!” Snapped Tang Xiu. “Emperor Qing is indeed the founder of my Vermillion Bird Sacred Sect, but the name of the sect is not the Five Beast Sect as you told me!”
“Let me finish my words, will you ?! You will naturally know about the origin of the Vermillion Bird Sect. “Fire Qilin shook his head and continued,” the Five Beasts Sect becomes the most powerful sect in the Eternal World after hundreds of thousands of years, feared by the rest of the sects that exist. But before Master ascended to the God Realm, he divided the Five Beast Sect into five independent sects, namely the Qilin Sacred Sect, the Azure Dragon Sacred Sect, the Vermillion Bird Sacred Sect, the Vermillion Bird Sacred Sect, the Vermillion Bird Sacred Sect, The White Tiger Sacred Sect, and the Black Tortoise Sacred Sect.
“I am the Guardian Immortal Beast of the Qilin Sacred Sect, while Azure Dragon, Vermillion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise separately act as Guardian Beasts for each of their respective sects. However, extreme prosperity will eventually decline as the old Chinese saying goes. After Master ascended, the five sects lost the most powerful Supreme as their protectors, and eventually caused many other forces to turn their eyes to us.
“The earth-shaking battle then took place in the Eternal World several hundred thousand years ago. The various forces attacked the Five Beast Sect and the latter was finally defeated, causing them to decline into ordinary immortal sects in the Eternal World. The five great great holy sects that were formed then gradually moved to some remote and hidden places.
“If I remember correctly, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise are all dead, leaving only me and Vermillion Bird. But I took the descendants of the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, and Vermillion Bird according to the instructions that Master had ordered earlier, which was to go to Earth and to protect his hometown. ”
Tang Xiu looked at Fire Qilin with a look of disbelief. Never once had she dreamed that the Vermillion Bird Holy Sect still had secrets within the story. It never occurred to him that the Fire Qilin had been protecting the Earth for hundreds of thousands of years.
“Then, where is the other Immortal Sacred Sect now, Fire Qilin? Where did they go, exactly? I have been in the Eternal World for ten millennia. However, I have never heard of the Qilin Sacred Sect, Azure Dragon Sect, White Tiger Sacred Sect, and Black Tortoise Sacred Sect at all, ”asked Tang Xiu in a deep voice after taking a deep breath to cope with his stirring emotions.
“I also don't know much about the next incident.” Fire Qilin shook his head and said, “Since we arrived on Earth, we have been guarding the planet. We've been able to protect the Earth despite being nearly destroyed several times. It was a pity that the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise that came with me at that time were too young and much weaker. They finally died after hundreds of thousands of years. I am the only one who has survived with a weak existence to date. ”
Tang Xiu nodded without a word. Although he was unclear about most of the stories narrated by Fire Qilin, he was very clear about one problem: the first ancestor who founded the Vermillion Bird Sacred Sect was called the Qing Emperor.
“Then, please come back first, Shoot Qilin! I remember what you said to me, and I will naturally take you to the Vermillion Bird Holy Sect to determine your status after we return to the Eternal World. If your claim is correct, then we are on the same side, “ Tang Xiu said.
The Fire Qilin thought about it for a moment. Then, suddenly it spoke, “I have a way to prove what I said, actually.”
“With what and how you plan to verify, exactly,” asked Tang Xiu with narrowed eyes.
The Fire Qilin raised its head and said loudly, “I know the name of the Immortal Guard Beast of your Vermillion Bird Holy Sect. I think there are only a handful of immortals in the Eternal World who know his name, right? ”
Tang Xiu shook inwardly and replied in a deep voice, “I can guarantee that those who know his name throughout the Eternal World are only a handful. And I'm one of them. ”
