Urban Undying Lord
Chapter 200 - 200 200 Shrouded in Mist

200: Chapter 200: Shrouded in Mist 200: Chapter 200: Shrouded in Mist Ye Xuan was no fool; he knew his own cultivation level better than anyone, and he had deeply immersed himself in studying the Undying Immortal Scripture.

The words of the Moon God touched precisely on his greatest concerns.

Ingesting Blood Qi, his cultivation level surged rapidly.

In just a few short years, he stepped into the Transcendance Tribulation Stage.

It was an unheard-of feat, not only in this era of declining spiritual energy but even in the Earth Immortal Realm, where Spiritual Energy was abundant.

Just as the Moon God had said, Ye Xuan was following the path of Blood Cultivation, which had no relation to the Immortal Dao.

If he wished to become an immortal and enter the Earth Immortal Realm, while his blood qi was his greatest asset, it was also his greatest restraint.

“Ye Daoist, this osmanthus tree was originally a seed from the Moon Palace, and an object of the immortals.

Although in this world, the tree was cultivated with Blood Qi, the essence of the osmanthus still contains the charm of the Immortal Spirit.

Only this tree can help you transform Blood Qi into Spiritual Energy.”

The Moon God’s words were earnest, and her eyes were pure and flawless, clearly not words of deception.

At this moment!

Ye Xuan gazed blankly at the osmanthus tree in front of him, sinking into deep thought, while the Moon God remained silent, evidently giving Ye Xuan time to contemplate.

An entire hour passed, and Ye Xuan snapped out of his reverie.

He shook his head slowly, his eyes indifferent as he looked towards the Moon God and said, “What you said is indeed true; this Blood Qi is indeed my greatest restraint.

However, I will not give up, nor will I transform it into Spiritual Energy.”

“Why…

why…

don’t you understand…

if you continue like this…

even if you continue to devour Blood Qi…

and your cultivation grows by leaps and bounds…

it will still sever your path to becoming immortal!” The Moon God’s voice trembled faintly, her eyes filled with great confusion.

“Because I do not want to die.”

Ye Xuan spoke solemnly, his gaze drifting towards the direction of Duanchang Mountain, and a glint of blood light flickered in his eyes.

The Moon God suddenly realized, sighing deeply as she said, “I understand now, you’re worried about the Primordial Spirit, and that’s not without reason.”

Indeed, Ye Xuan was worried about the Primordial Spirit.

If he truly transformed all his Blood Qi into Spiritual Energy before becoming immortal, this osmanthus tree would be his greatest reliance.

If anything were to happen to the tree, he would be trapped in this realm, at the mercy of the Primordial Spirit, and that was an outcome he did not wish to see.

And this worry was only one aspect; the main reason was actually the Moon God herself, because Ye Xuan did not trust her.

The relationship between the two could not be described as hostile, but they certainly were not friends.

The Moon God was being so eager to help him, it almost certainly hid her own agenda; this was also why Ye Xuan refused.

“Tell me, why did you say I am a puppet?

Where does the Blood Sea Battlefield come from?

Who is the Primordial Spirit?

And what is your relation to the Guanghan Fairy within the Earth Immortal Realm?” A series of questions spilled out from Ye Xuan’s mouth.

“You should have noticed by now, my true form is a jade rabbit.

My relationship with the Guanghan Fairy, you must have some guesses.

As for the Blood Sea Battlefield…”

As the Moon God slowly narrated, she drew Ye Xuan into a mysterious and vast world.

The Moon God, originally a jade rabbit from the Earth Immortal Realm, was, in the distant past, always by the side of the Guanghan Fairy.

As time passed, a great ancient war quietly began ten thousand years ago.

The Moon God couldn’t recall how she had left the Guanghan Fairy and participated in that Ancient Battle, for she had perished in it, and even her own lingering soul had been suppressed beneath the endless Blood Sea, her memories becoming exceedingly fragmented.

All she remembered was that the Ancient Battle had been triggered by one person, known as ‘Yuan Mo,’ the Inheritor of the Undying Immortal Scripture, who brought an unimaginable calamity to the Earth Immortal Realm.

On the day the Ancient Battle began, Immortals fell from the high heavens while Yuan Mo laughed wildly with arrogance, staining the blue sky with the gorgeous and tragic blood of Immortals.

Demons died, Immortals fell, a whole world was left in ruins.

Even with Yuan Mo’s unrivaled Cultivation, facing the heavens and all Immortals, he too suffered mortal wounds, forcing him to flee towards the Exile Land.

It wasn’t until the host of Immortals pursued Yuan Mo to the Exile Land where Ye Xuan was, that the ultimate battle took place.

In that final battle, Yuan Mo performed a blood sacrifice, slaying all Immortals and Demons, and further suppressed their lingering souls beneath the Blood Sea.

This space was known as the Blood Sea Battlefield, also called the Ancient Battlefield, isolated from the Earth Immortal Realm and not within this era of decline.

According to the Moon God, the Blood Soul Strange Beasts in the Blood Sea Battlefield were born from the Essence Qi and blood of the slain demons and Immortals, which also explained the origin of the Blood Sea Battlefield.

However, this ultimate battle caused the powerful Immortals of the Earth Immortal Realm to close the passage between the two realms, leading to the gradual disappearance of Spiritual Energy in Ye Xuan’s world until it reached the current age of decay.

As the mystery of the Ancient Battle’s history unveiled a corner, Ye Xuan listened intently and then said in deep contemplation, “Did Yuan Mo die?

And who is the Primordial Spirit?”

The Moon God shook her head slowly, her eyes slightly bewildered, “In that last battle, I only remember Yuan Mo enacting the blood sacrifice and falling on the Ancient Battlefield.

Yet, I have a feeling he wouldn’t die so easily, for if even our lingering souls could remain, Yuan Mo certainly had means to save himself.”

“Moreover, I suspect that the Primordial Spirit’s sudden appearance in the Blood Sea Battlefield was no coincidence, almost as if it emerged out of thin air.

It’s possible that it is a remnant of Yuan Mo’s soul,” the Moon God analyzed aloud.

“Is the Primordial Spirit Yuan Mo?” Ye Xuan frowned, not surprised by the Moon God’s answer, for he had already harbored such suspicions, yet he couldn’t confirm them.

“This is just my conjecture, whether the Primordial Spirit is indeed a part of Yuan Mo’s soul, I cannot be sure.”

The Moon God said this with a peculiar look in her eyes towards Ye Xuan, “You have practiced the Undying Immortal Scripture, theoretically, you’re Yuan Mo’s Inheritor.

Have you found Yuan Mo’s corpse within the Blood Sea Battlefield?”

As the Moon God’s words reached his ears, Ye Xuan’s gaze sharpened, realizing that in his four years of battling on the Blood Sea Battlefield, he knew it like the back of his hand, yet indeed had never discovered Yuan Mo’s corpse, an unsolved mystery.

“If I’m not mistaken, even if the Primordial Spirit is not Yuan Mo’s lingering soul, there must be a deep connection between them.

And you…

you are the Puppet in the Primordial Spirit’s hands.

He’s nurturing you, likely scheming a grand plan,” the Moon God expounded.

“Why are you helping me?” With this conversation between them, Ye Xuan asked softly, for he always believed that the Moon God would not help him without her own reasons.

“Because only by helping you become Immortal can you take me back to the Earth Immortal Realm, and I can return to the Moon Palace, to be with my master,” the Moon God said with a wistful smile, revealing her true purpose.
