Chapter 2495 The Mysterious Veil

Chaos Sea, Primordial Sacred Palace.

When he saw the Chaos Sea and the myriad realms boiling, and when he saw the legendary land of ancient times descend, the Primordial Saint Venerable, although he could understand the vast Dao heart of all living beings, still had a trace of calm in his eyes, without excitement or astonishment.

At the summit of the heavens...

What is that inverted, illusory shadow of the vast天地 (heaven and earth)?

The border is defined by the chaotic sea frontier.

What are those insurmountable rules of heaven and earth...?

A solemn look appeared in the eyes of the Primordial Saint Venerable. Everything was unknown, everything was unclear. He simply bowed silently towards the direction of the Eternal Immortal Realm. The Great Dao of the Severed Immortal Realm had been turbulent for fifty million years. The common people did not know, but he did.

He is the same as the True Immortal Xuanli.

He had seen the Eternal Immortal Realm in his youth and even witnessed the true face of the Dao Ancestor. Knowing that the Immortal Realm had been separated from the Dao for fifty million years, the once supreme status of the Eternal Immortal Realm had also plummeted in his heart.

Even the attainment of two True Immortals and the arrival of the Eternal Immortal Realm were no longer considered good things to him; his expression was extremely solemn.

"The beginning of the Yuan Dynasty".

In the sky, Taixu and Hongyan, two great saints, crossed the void. Both were at the half-step True Immortal realm, but their blood and immortal bodies were severely decayed and could no longer maintain their peak condition. Judging from their appearance, it seemed that the Primordial Saint Venerable had forcibly extended their lives.

His two old friends, however, have long been pulled from the river of time by him, yet they remain unattainable, forever just a hair's breadth away.

This line.

Even in the ancient times, these two pioneers spread their teachings throughout the Chaos Sea. Now, in the prosperous era of the Immortal Realm, there are far too many powerful beings on their path, which has dispersed a large amount of their Great Dao origin, making it impossible for them to attain true immortality on the main path.

As for why these two old friends could not attain enlightenment, it was due to the times and fate.

He could not possibly slaughter all living beings for the sake of these two old friends. These two were not so insane as to want to go to such lengths. In fact, they had long ago wished to return to the void and return their Dao to all living beings in the Chaos Sea. The world had been at peace for countless millennia, which had put their hearts at ease.

"Taixu, Hongyan." The Primordial Saint Venerable cupped his hands and sighed slightly, "As expected, I have alarmed you."

"If I could pay my respects to the Dao Ancestor before returning to the Void, my life on the path to immortality would not have been in vain."

"Back then, my vision was rather narrow; I was unaware of the vastness of the immortal realm and its immensity throughout the ages."

……

The two sages gave a wistful smile and responded with clasped hands.

They no longer possessed the sharpness and vigor of their youth, but carried some regrets from their younger days. They had long since let go of many things, their lives now marked by the desolation of time. Perhaps they still harbored a sliver of hope, wishing to find an opportunity to attain enlightenment in the ancient immortal realm.

Seeing his two old friends in this state, Yuan Chu was silent for a moment.

He gazed into the distance at the chaos and sighed, "Wait a little longer."

The two knew that the scenery in Yuan Chu's eyes was different from theirs, and they fell into deep thought. But they couldn't help but take another look at the chaotic frontier. So far, apart from the strange phenomena of heaven and earth, no ancient beings have appeared.

Beyond the primordial chaos.

They can't see it.

Ten years later.

The powerful beings of the Immortal Realm flocked to the Chaos Sea, each seeking their own abode in the countless Immortal Domains of the Chaos Sea, seemingly waiting only for the first frontier of eternity. Throughout the countless ages of the Immortal Realm, there has never been a vast and closed Immortal Territory.

The celestial history of the Three Thousand Immortal Realms has long since turned to dust and been forgotten by cultivators since the True Immortal took charge.

Naturally, they were also waiting for the Eternal Immortal Realm to be fully revealed, so that they could have the opportunity to ascend to this realm and see for themselves whether the legendary Eternal Immortal Realm was truly as powerful as it seemed. They were quite ambitious.

hum-

Within a few months, one after another, powerful organizations from the immortal realm began to descend upon the Chaos Sea. Ancient giants such as the Five Elements Spirit Manor and the Southern Border Immortal Alliance all sent ancient immortals to the scene.

Mysterious and awe-inspiring, yet cultivators always yearn to unveil the layers of mystery surrounding the world.

Countless other lineages, along with their own lineage's prodigies, arrived with sharp and formidable auras.

In the Chaos Sea, many old monsters from the entire Immortal Realm arrived, and even more geniuses came. They were all in high spirits and possessed a powerful Dao heart that could overwhelm all cultivators under heaven.

The entire Chaos Sea was in an uproar.

True immortal lineages, giant organizations, flourishing lineages, ancient immortal families, peerless hegemons, ancient immortals, and super geniuses all gathered together, creating a turbulent and unprecedented spectacle in the Chaos Sea.

The native cultivators of the Chaos Sea were truly amazed, seeing one strange and bizarre race after another. Indeed, seeing is believing, and they were damn strong and strange!

This day.

Even the legendary race from the Immortal Realm, the Creation Immortal Clan, has come!

The bodies of its beings are in a spirit-like form, with a main trunk like jade bones and vines connected together. They have no fixed facial features, only the phantom images of living beings flowing in the outline of their faces. Their limbs constantly change as they walk, taking the form of grass, feathers, or animal limbs, as if all spirits temporarily reside in their bodies.

The appearance of this race caused a stir throughout the realms, and even caught the attention of the Primordial Saint Venerable. He recognized the race's ancestor; they rarely appeared openly in the Immortal Realm, preferring to live in seclusion, cultivating the Dao and attaining enlightenment through the myriad spirits—a rare occurrence...

"Fellow Daoist Yuanshi."

In a distant land, the ancestor of the Creation Immortal Clan no longer had a fixed form, leaving only the outline of an ancient immortal body. His head was empty, and within his chest, all things were born and died. The forms of all things on his body changed with each breath, but they always returned to the origin of "creation".

Create emptiness.

“Fellow Daoist Kongyan.” The Primordial Saint Venerable’s gaze was somewhat profound, and he treated this person with a slightly solemn attitude. “Have you already foreseen the creation?”

"I've only come to take a look. The wonders of time cannot be moved by an old man like me."

"hehe..."

……

The two exchanged knowing smiles; they were just acquaintances, not close friends, and a brief greeting was enough.

The Primordial Saint Venerable believed that this race was exceptionally good at producing True Immortals. The stronger the heavens and earth became, the stronger the living beings became, and the more they successively attained the Dao, which was of great benefit to this race. However, strangely enough, no True Immortal had ever appeared in this race.

As the ancient times descended, the True Immortals instantly sensed that the Immortal Realm had become incredibly vast; it would be strange if this race hadn't appeared.

The Immortal Clan of Creation arrived with an entire realm.

In the world.

"The creation of the void, indeed! The ancient immortal realm emerged from heaven and earth. Even if it returned to the immortal realm, it could not possibly have triggered such a celestial phenomenon, let alone made heaven and earth even more profound. Now, upon observing..."

Another ancestor of the Creation Immortal Clan spoke meaningfully, "...This realm has transcended the Immortal Realm and has long stood alongside the Immortal Realm. In fact, its Immortal Realm has its own unique Great Dao rules, with boundless creation potential."

These words were truly astonishing, but thankfully no outsiders heard them.

“Since that’s the case, I’m just wondering what the purpose of the Eternal Immortal Realm’s descent is.” Zao Kongyan said calmly, “Back then, our ancestors were killed by the Eternal Immortal, which shocked our clan for thousands of years, and we dared not attempt to reach the Tai Xuan Realm.”

So this is the answer to the question that the Primordial Saint had been pondering for countless years!

This race was so frightened by the ancient times that they dared not produce any more True Immortals. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they were afraid of having their Dao Fruits 'harvested'. Being strong would be too conspicuous; being neither too strong nor too weak was the way to survive.
