NOVPUB"The only power capable of contending with a True Immortal," he said, "is the power of a True Immortal."
"The catastrophe of the Abyss Star Ocean was caused by a True Immortal who had comprehended the Dao. Therefore, the force strong enough to enable the Xuanhuang World to escape..."
"Is naturally from another True Immortal."
At these words, it was as if thunder had struck, resonating in the Spirit Consciousness of the Faceless Saint Emperor. 𝚗ovp𝚞b.𝚌om
The surrounding darkness seemed to come alive in an instant, all prying into his thoughts.
"Indeed, a True Immortal is a True Immortal."
"But it’s a deceased True Immortal, right?"
However, upon abruptly learning such a secret, the Saint Emperor seemed as if he had long anticipated it.
He retorted calmly.
Mo Rubing shrugged his shoulders: "Talking to such clever people like you is really no fun."
"That’s right, the very foundation of the Ocean of Darkness is transformed from the remains of a True Immortal."
Li Ping was not surprised by this revelation.
The Ocean of Darkness could absorb the faith of the You Clan People and convert it into the Essence of Source Power. Yet, it did not care if its followers changed their beliefs.
Once the True Immortal’s Net is formed, it exists in reality and is not swayed by will.
Those who fall into the Net, desiring escape, must unleash a force strong enough to tear apart the True Immortal’s Net.
The frail You Clan People naturally did not possess such ability. The only plausible explanation was that the master of the True Immortal’s Net had perished.
Thus the bonds were no longer present.
"True Immortal," Li Ping reiterated the term.
"A Fallen True Immortal of the Xuanhuang World."
"How miraculous. To think that a True Immortal fell in such a Lower Realm. Fortunately, the Xuanhuang World hid the body of a True Immortal; otherwise, even with no rice, the clever Xuanyuan Big Brother would have had no means to save the Xuanhuang World," Mo Rubing remarked somewhat emotionally.
Li Ping then informed Mo Rubing about the existence of the Fallen Immortal World.
"Oh. I was not expecting there to really be a successor to the Heavenly Sovereign willing to share these True Immortal Remains with the people," Mo Rubing said after listening, his aura once again growing unstable.
"It’s hard to believe there can be anyone more foolish than Xuanyuan Big Brother. It’s just..."
"He has long been gone," Li Ping added.
Mo Rubing then calmed down again.
After a long time, he finally said, "Good that he’s dead. Good indeed..."
Though he said so, Li Ping for some reason, felt there was a hint of sadness in his demeanor.
Therefore, Li Ping asked the question he had always wanted to ask, "Is the King of Mystic Sky really dead?"
Mo Rubing turned his head and stared blankly at Li Ping, "If you ask me, who do I ask? He’s probably not dead. I’m looking for him too. Xuanyuan Big Brother is so strong, he wouldn’t just die like that from being schemed against by villains."
With that, he didn’t give Li Ping an opportunity to continue the conversation and simply turned back around.
"The Ocean of Darkness, based on the ’Gathering Spirit for Immortality Array Technique’ with the bones of True Immortal Remains and bound by the rope of the First Generation Great Heavenly Sovereign’s Bloodline, created out of nothing, gave birth to a power capable of contending with the attritional force of a True Immortal."
"Yet after all, it’s just an inanimate object; stripped of its control device, it has become fodder for others."
"That’s why you must never die. No matter how mighty as a True Immortal in life, once dead, even ants can trample over you."
Mo Rubing once again looked towards the device used by the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals to extract the power of darkness, his tone derisive.
"First Generation Great Heavenly Sovereign’s Bloodline?" As Li Ping thought of the You Clan People’s strange features, a thought stirred within him.
"No wonder, only these people can communiate with The Ocean of Darkness. But ..."
The direct lineage of a True Immortal, without further thought, one would know its revered nature. Yet now, it had become such a grotesque, neither human nor ghost-like appearance.
Mo Rubing seemed to perceive Li Ping’s thoughts and said coldly, "You don’t need to pity these people. If you had lived in that era and personally witnessed how the Great Heavenly Sovereign’s Bloodline enslaved others..."
"You would probably be the first to rise in rebellion."
"If it weren’t for Xuanyuan Big Brother acting back then to eradicate their influence, who knows how long this elevated group of people would have continued to reign supreme. Becoming what they are now, it can be considered their good karma," Mo Rubing said with a cold laugh.
Li Ping did not continue to argue with Mo Rubing on this topic.
"The Ocean of Darkness, in essence, is using the True Immortal Remains to gather shadowy Immortal Power, to defy the Immortal Ruins. What exactly is the device controlled by the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals?" he asked softly.
"Immortal Ruins..." Seeming to disapprove of the term, Mo Rubing scoffed again.
However, this time he did not dwell on trivial details and directly addressed Li Ping’s query, "That’s merely a magic tool forged by Xuanyuan Big Brother to control the Ocean of Darkness. After all, he couldn’t possibly keep an eye on this place all the time, and the Ocean of Darkness is too important in the entire escape plan, so he needed our assistance. A total of three pieces, each given to different Law Kings."
"Just don’t know, of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, who it truly belongs to," killing intent flickered in Mo Rubing’s words.
Li Ping nodded slightly: "Is there a way to affect the control of that ’Eye’ magic tool over the Ocean of Darkness?"
"If your Array Mastery surpasses even Xuanyuan Big Brother then..."
"Hmm?"
Mo Rubing, about to mock, suddenly recalled the level of Array Path skills the Emperor had displayed during their previous encounter.
The words he was about to speak were thus swallowed back.
"Perhaps a trial within the core of the Gathering Spirit for Immortality Array might be possible," Mo Rubing suggested.
His gaze shifted from the rift within the Ocean of Darkness, turning towards another direction.
Li Ping followed his gaze and remarked with some admiration, "Indeed, this array is unfathomably mysterious. I pride myself on my Array Technique expertise, but within this darkness, I still cannot discern any traces of the array’s path."
