Chapter 612: Chapter 529: Return_2

[Despite being followed by several menacing undercurrents, they were all readily resolved through careful guidance from Li Shenghong’s tutelage to the four of them.]

[In the 152nd year after the Immortal Fall, Li Shengshi exterminated the demonic beings of Copper Mountain, stopped the evil arts of the demon people, gaining past kindred’s legacy, achieving great creation, and at the age of forty, he ascended to become the Perfected.]

[Suddenly, his fame rose again, even stirring up Kyoto.]

[Amid the flurry of public discussions, just like Li Shenghong had done before, Li Shengshi, despite the discouragement of the clan elders of the Zongren Mansion, turned his back on the Divine Capital and defended the border town.]

[Following this move, various rumors flew around, saying he was tired of the political intrigues in the Divine Capital, or, saying he still held a grudge against the royal family for sitting by as Li Shenghong died, or that he had inherited the legacy of the Sword Immortal.]

[However, Li Shengshi ignored all this and resolutely returned to Changbao border, where, under the warmly received by the Wanyu Divine Monarch Li Lan, they both defended Changbao together.]

[Under the protection of Gui Ling’er, they exorcised demons, slaughtered the Demon Dao, defended the border and prevented the various evil beings in the towns from breaking out. His reputation gradually rose with great merits. It was said: The second Sword Immortal was born.]

[In the 267th year after the Immortal Fall, after more than a hundred years of preparation, Li Shengshi became an Infant God well before his bicentennial. The name of Daqian’s Flood Dragon Li Shengshi was circulated throughout the Spirit Suppressing Realm, and it was rumored that he might become an Immortal.]

[With great fame came convenience, as well as various assassination attempts.]

[Meanwhile, after more than two hundred years of chaotic slaughtering, the Devil Cult had been thoroughly divided by the Immortal Alliance. However, at this time, the last bit of stability within the Immortal Alliance had also been exhausted.]

[Due to a spirit medicine for intelligence enhancement and longevity suddenly appearing at Shoucheng Mountain, it was ’accidentally’ discovered by the true disciples of the three major sects at the same time, leading to a melee.]

[Thus, God Sovereigns arrived at the scene and joined the melee.]

[In the end, the medicine was destroyed and people died, causing this issue to produce a significant uproar.]

[With the guidance of interested parties, the Immortal Alliance eventually sparked contradictions and split into hundreds of factions with Wanyu, Daqian, and Flying Immortal at the helm, creating an even more chaotic melee.]

[As a result, the entire Spirit Suppressing Realm became more chaotic and darker.]

[Disciples of the Immortal Sect were in constant disputes, and the conflicts were escalating, with no regard for the sufferings of mortals. Demon Dao and Devil Cultivators ran rampant, with Sinners constantly causing trouble and the population declining.]

[In this situation, Li Shengshi emerged with a turtle and three friends and five great God Sovereigns, maintaining the peace of Changbao county.]

[In the first year of the new era, or the 492nd year after the Immortal Fall, after hundreds of years of major conflicts, the severely damaged Immortal Alliance saw the resurgence of the Devil Gate in such a time of crisis. The Blood Demon Sect and Hehuan Sect seemed to be overpowering the righteous path.]

[Threatened with annihilation, the disciples of the Immortal Alliance finally regained their sobriety. After a separation of more than two hundred years, the Three Sects reunited. However, they couldn’t merge again as one, they settled territories, established laws, and formed alliances, launching a new era of co-governance by the Three Sects.]

[From then on, the era of the Immortal Alliance was gone, and the era of the Three Sects splitting the world into three parts arrived. The Wanyu lineage was brought back together, and the Daqian academies were everywhere, and the Flying Immortals divided their supporters into numerous parts.]

[The Hidden Tower was also split into three parts, the Daqian Hidden Vein joined the Divine Capture Bureau and became public constables, overtaking from darkness, managing a province;]

[The Wanyu Hidden Vein slipped into the Dark Guard, took control of a hall and completely disappeared from the world;]

[The person in charge of the Hidden Vein of the Flying Immortals: Dark Two, ambitious and set up a branch sect, wanting to seize the merits and enter the high-level of the Feixian Alliance.]

[However, during the struggle against the Devil Gate, many branches were involved, the sects that were completely destroyed were countless, and the lineage of the Hidden Vein of the Flying Immortals was thus cut off.]

[This situation attracted Li Shengshi’s attention, and he had to intervene and assist Dark One and Dark Three in their breakthrough to become Infant Gods, and preserve the continuation of the two branches’ lineage.]

[In the following decades, the borders were carefully re-allocated, and the borders between the sects were completely established. Li Shengshi was then granted a peerage, taking control of Changbao.]

[However, because of this, he faced a disaster and encountered a Great Cultivator of the Devil Gate in the battlefield. Struggling for several seconds, he finally received ’belated’ support. Although his life was saved, his further possibilities had been lost.]

[Afterward, as the Three Sects settled down, despite the constant upheavals along the border due to the Devil Gate, the interior of the Three Sects gradually established peace and the people rested and recovered.]

[After hundreds of years of strife, the situation continued to clarify. After a battle that lasted for a thousand years, the place gradually settled, and the Spirit Suppressing Realm entered an era of co-governance with seven major factions.]

[However, due to various worldly grudges, every one or two thousand years, a war would break out with the Devil Gate because of various reasons, and never really ended.]

········

Under the protection of the Golden Balance, Wang Zijia looked at the images flashing through the turbulent river, various pieces of information also emerged in his mind.

Although it didn’t cover everything down to the smallest detail, he gained a lot of information.

The rapid passing of images lasted until a thousand and one hundred years later when Li Shengshi sealed himself off, thereby marking the end.

"Thud!"

As the fast-forwarding images stopped, the Balance Scale plunged into the silver river again and disappeared downstream.

After a moment, Wang Zijia saw the exit, not just one, but several!

It seemed to be the fragmented Divine Kingdom from before, a few desolate and scattered small spaces.

Without giving Wang Zijia a chance to choose, the Golden Balance protected him, randomly charging towards an exit.

In an instant, Wang Zijia’s eyes were filled with a silver surge, and his whole person fell into a state of daze.

·······

Almost at the same time, the several small spaces that stemmed from the shattered Divine Kingdom drained by the Sinners, quietly and silently integrated into the Shen Hong Realm, appearing at multiple places in Changbao.

However, no traces materialized in any of the spaces, they were simply a few barren and broken wastelands, the largest no bigger than a soccer field, the smallest the size of a single building, and hence did not cause any disturbances.

·······

In Changbao’s border, within the canyon that Wang Zijia and Li Xingming had entered earlier.

The space in the canyon began to fluctuate abruptly, as if something was integrating into it.

In an instant, the ’mountain body’ that was in a deep slumber on one side opened its house-sized enormous eye, looking at the backyard of the house in the valley with anticipation and nervousness.

In that backyard, the space was rippling. That backyard, originally not very large, abruptly came to contain a barren rocky wasteland the size of a basketball court.

The figures of Li Xingming and Gui Cheng suddenly appeared.

For a moment, both man and turtle were bewildered. The next moment, a huge shadow came over, blocking the sunlight.

Li Xingming was shocked.

"Patriarch!"

"Mother!"

Both man and turtle, looking at the mountainous figure in front of them, simultaneously saluted.

"Where is the person who went in with you? Where did he go?" From the turtle’s mouth came a voice, surprisingly not deep, but rather clear.

"Uh...I don’t know!" Li Xingming replied stiffly.

The Patriarch’s first concern was not him, but Chu Jiefu. For a moment, it wasn’t clear who was the real descendant of the Li family!

"Replying to mother, after we entered, we didn’t see Chu Jiefu himself. It seems that he didn’t enter the same space as us!" Gui Cheng reported as such.

The mountain-like gigantic turtle’s pair of eyes dimmed for a moment.

The next moment, as if thinking of something, it suddenly disappeared from the spot.

"Boom!"

With her disappearance, a large area of emptiness appeared around her, forming a basin-like huge crater.

The plants growing on her back and the rocks all fell off, causing a considerable commotion.

Hukou Mountain Valley, due to the loss of one side of the mountain body, turned into a canyon.

"What’s wrong with the Patriarch?" Li Xingming looked at Gui Cheng beside him, confused.

"Let’s go, back to the city..." Mid-sentence, Gui Cheng seemed to think of something. He paused, abruptly corrected himself, "To Sword Burial Valley!"

"Patriarch, are you saying... the Hidden Tower is reopening?!!!" At Gui Cheng’s words, Li Xingming was taken aback, and then his face lit up with joy.

Gui Cheng said nothing, just quickly departed in a certain direction.

Li Xingming immediately followed him.

·······

Elsewhere, in the barren mountains of Changbao Border, a space the size of a basketball court integrated into the world.

However, there was nothing unusual. On the spot, there was only an extra large piece of rock.

On the rock stood a young man.
