Chapter 1503 Questions and Answers
After exchanging words for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Lu Chen learned that the mysterious woman's name was Fang Xinyi, and he also obtained the answers he wanted.
He cleared his throat and first asked the question that concerned him most: "Miss Fang, my first question is, what was the cause of the destruction of the Divine Domain during the War of the Gods, and was this related to the Conferment of Saints List? What exactly is the Conferment of Saints List?"
After speaking, Lu Chen looked at Fang Xinyi with anticipation. As his cultivation level continued to improve, the things Lu Chen encountered became more and more complicated, and these problems were the key to completing the tasks assigned by the old Taoist priest.
Given Lu Chen's current network of connections, he can only get the answer from Fang Xinyi.
Upon hearing this, a complex light flashed in Fang Xinyi's eyes, as if she were recalling that distant and tragic history. She then said:
"The origin of the War of the Gods is actually very complicated. It was a great war involving many forces and conflicts of interest. The initial trigger was the appearance of the Conferment of Sainthood List."
She paused here, gathering her thoughts, "The Conferring of Sainthood is an ultimate sacred artifact, possessing the complete 'Dao' and the laws of the world. In our time, the Divine Realm was merely one of countless world planes, ruled by the Human Emperor. Later, after the Human Emperor disappeared, the human race lost its ruler."
The powerful figures of various factions were thus stirred with ambition, striving with all their might to attain the Primordial Chaos Realm, break through to the Primordial Grand Luo Golden Immortal level, and thus become the new leader of the human race.
At this point, Fang Xinyi glanced at Lu Chen, noticing his focused yet puzzled expression, and continued:
"Later, the Investiture of the Saints list appeared in some ruins. Legend has it that to attain the Primordial Chaos realm, one must sever the self, that is, 'sever the three corpses,' cutting off one's good thoughts, evil thoughts, and obsessions. This is then entrusted to a magical artifact, and the Investiture of the Saints list is one such artifact."
Therefore, after the list of saints was published, as more and more powerful people wanted to prove the Dao of Hunyuan, the conflicts gradually escalated and eventually evolved into that tragic war.
In their struggle for control of the Conferred Saint Ranking, various factions spared no expense, even resorting to forbidden powers, which led to the destruction of the Divine Realm.
Lu Chen was deeply moved and couldn't help but ask, "Then, aren't there any other Grand Luo Golden Immortals who will step in to stop this tragedy? Or simply crush everyone and become the leader of the human race?"
Fang Xinyi rolled her eyes at Lu Chen, "Proving the Dao of Hunyuan is not so easy. If the Human Emperor had not refined the Xuanhuang Qi and thus achieved the Dao of Hunyuan, the human race would probably have been wiped out by other races long ago."
"So, according to you, besides the Human Emperor attaining the Primordial Chaos Realm, no other cultivators have attained the Primordial Chaos Realm? How is that possible?"
Lu Chen couldn't help but ask in surprise. He thought of that mysterious old Taoist priest. If the reasoning was correct, Lu Chen guessed that the old Taoist priest should be the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao. Then how could his cultivation not have reached the level of Hunyuan?
“Nothing is impossible. Proving the Dao of Hunyuan is not an easy thing. If someone could really prove the Dao of Hunyuan, the Divine Realm would probably have been repaired long ago, and the Explosion World you mentioned would not have occurred.” Fang Xinyi shook her head with a solemn expression.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Chen also became interested in the Conferring Saints List, so he asked:
"Do you know any clues about the Conferment of Sainthood? And who obtained this magical artifact after the War of the Gods?"
Fang Xinyi shook her head again. "The last time the Investiture of the Saints list appeared in the world was after the War of the Gods ended. It is said that it disappeared into the void and has never been seen since."
As for who you mentioned received the title of "Saint," I estimate that no one actually ever did.
Later, because the Divine Realm was no longer suitable for habitation, many forces led their people away one after another. By chance, my tribe and I went to the Immortal Realm.
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen suddenly interrupted the other person and said:
"Miss Fang, based on my understanding, back then, over ten thousand of your people from the Divine Realm went to the Immortal Realm, causing the Immortal Realm continent to shatter and the Chaos Tree to be destroyed. They were mistaken for extraterrestrial demons and eventually retreated back to the Divine Realm."
What I find strange is, with your cultivation levels, how could cultivators from the Immortal Realm possibly have the power to defeat you?
Upon hearing this, Fang Xinyi showed a helpless expression, then excitedly denied it: "No... we are not extraterrestrial demons, and we did not destroy the Chaos Tree."
Do you know that the Chaos Tree is the core that maintains the stability of the entire Immortal Realm? It is not only protected by the rules of the world, but also possesses the power of chaos itself. How could it possibly be destroyed because of us?
Moreover, when we first arrived in the Immortal Realm, the world's rules suppressed our cultivation to the Taiqing Xuanxian Realm. How could we possibly have the ability to destroy the Chaos Tree? As for destroying the Immortal Realm continent, that's utter nonsense.
Hearing this, Lu Chen fell into deep thought. He knew that if Fang Xinyi's words were true, then there must be more unknown secrets hidden behind the battle back then.
Moreover, all the clues end here. Perhaps only by finding the ancient monsters that survived from the distant past can we obtain some new clues.
Fortunately, the information he received today gave Lu Chen some clues about how to repair the Divine Domain.
First, since the Chaos Tree is the foundation of a world, and I happen to possess a sapling of the Chaos Tree, I only need to nurture it to maturity so that I can use it to repair the Divine Realm.
In the Buzhou Mountain Secret Realm, Lu Chen learned that the black stone was a World Stone. It is said that the World Stone is the cornerstone of a world and can also be used to repair the Divine Domain.
As for whether anything else is needed, Lu Chen's current knowledge is still unknown, but he believes that when he breaks through to the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal level, he should be able to solve all the problems.
Seeing that Lu Chen was deep in thought, Fang Xinyi did not disturb him, but waited quietly.
After a moment, Lu Chen snapped out of his thoughts and asked another question: "Miss Fang, do you know any ways to reach other divine or immortal realms?"
Fang Xinyi remained silent for a long time, seemingly weighing whether or not to answer the question. "The paths to other divine or immortal realms are not easy to find, and are fraught with danger," she said slowly.
"I do know some information about this, but it's not complete. It's said that there's a spatial passage called a 'star bridge' between each plane."
This passage connects different divine and immortal realms, and even cultivation realms. Once one's cultivation reaches a certain level, one can comprehend the "Star Bridge" from the laws of space, thereby achieving free travel between realms.
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen's eyes lit up. He believed that as long as there was a way, he could definitely achieve it. This was the power of the Chaos Dao Life Technique, which gave Lu Chen confidence.
Maybe then I can even realize my dream of returning to Earth...
