Male Inferiority and Female Supremacy in the World of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 696 - 695: Memories Like the Wind
Chapter 696: Chapter 695: Memories Like the Wind
The Immortal World is a planet, and the scar in the sky is a wormhole. Fang Zhou had considered this possibility before, but it was too bizarre to think about deeply.
He never expected these words to come out of Ling Xiaoyue’s mouth, which really shattered his worldview.
Weren’t we discussing the topic of Cultivation? How did it suddenly turn into science fiction? This was a strange shift in the narrative style.
Others definitely wouldn’t say such things nor understand them, but Ling Xiaoyue was also a transmigrator. Despite her amnesia, fragments of memory still linger in her mind, allowing her to understand what planets, galaxies, and wormholes are.
Although the narrative was a bit off, this explanation was, in fact, straightforward and clear to Fang Zhou, and he immediately understood the situation.
Ling Xiaoyue continued to roam around the shattered Immortal World with Fang Zhou.
Fang Zhou had previously thought these floating lands were pieces of a shattered continent. However, after Ling Xiaoyue’s explanation, he realized that it was an entire planet that had been shattered.
Back then, when alien creatures invaded through the wormhole, the Immortals of the Immortal World were forced to make the Immortal World the battlefield.
After a bloody battle, both sides suffered heavy casualties. The Immortal World itself was shattered by supreme power.
Now, with his immense strength, Fang Zhou could easily break a few mountains. But when it came to an entire planet, especially a massive one like the Immortal World, he really was like an ant.
This indirectly proved the immense strength of the Immortals and also demonstrated the terrifying power of the alien creatures that nearly wiped out the Immortals.
The shattered planet should have scattered into the universe and turned to dust, but the Immortal World had a barrier set by the Immortals in its atmosphere, which protected the shattered fragments from scattering, resulting in the magical scene before them.
Fang Zhou traveled with Ling Xiaoyue through these fragments, searching for the whereabouts of Tai Chu’s Sun.
However, neither of them had much hope. After the disappearance of the Yin Yang Energy, the Immortal World had been thoroughly searched numerous times, going as deep as three feet into the earth was not an exaggeration.
No one could find it then, and now, with just the two of them running around, it was even more impossible.
Surely, the Tai Chu’s Sun was no longer in the Immortal World. Ling Xiaoyue just couldn’t let go of years of hope fading away, so she was trying her luck.
As expected, they toured around but found nothing. Not to mention Tai Chu’s Sun, they didn’t even encounter a normal living creature; all they found were monsters mutated by the influence of the Abyss.
Unconsciously, they arrived at the center of the shattered Immortal World and saw the scar in the sky.
Fang Zhou looked up. A black sphere, like a moon, floated near the atmosphere.
This black sphere was the sky’s scar, the wormhole.
Although it appeared like a sphere, it wasn’t actually a ball. The wormhole had no specific direction, whether you looked from above, below, left, right, front, or back, you would always see the opening, thus giving it a spherical appearance.
Ling Xiaoyue was also looking up, with a look of reminiscence in her eyes as she recounted the appearance of the wormhole.
At that time, the wormhole suddenly appeared, startling the Immortals of the Immortal World.
Because the filling of the sky by Nüwa was too ancient, even the Immortals of Immortal World weren’t aware of the details when the world first opened, so for a while, no one associated the wormhole with the sky’s scar.
The appearance of the wormhole caused a great upheaval, disrupting the balance of Yin and Yang.
The Immortals researched for a long time before discovering it was a spatial passageway, and they reluctantly sent someone to explore it, never to return.
Then disaster struck, as the Abyss Aura emanated from the wormhole, polluting the Immortal World, while an almost endless number of alien creatures swarmed out of the wormhole.
However, the Immortals were used to being carefree and disorganized. Faced with a great enemy, they fell into a dispute between fleeing and fighting, leading to a hasty defense and nearly being wiped out.
Fang Zhou fell silent after hearing this. Previously, he thought Immortals stood high above, understanding everything, and able to see through past and future events.
But clearly, real Immortals were not like that. Aside from possessing immense power and eternal life, they had emotions and desires like ordinary people, and there were times of ignorance and impulsiveness. They were not omniscient and omnipotent.
When he first discovered Ling Xiaoyue was an Immortal, Fang Zhou felt a sense of idol collapse. Later, he thought she might be an outlier among Immortals, believing true Immortals should have an air of ethereal detachment.
Unfortunately, from Ling Xiaoyue’s recounting, these Immortals were not much different from her, behaving freely and unruly.
In hindsight, it made sense. Having painstakingly cultivated to Ascend to Immortal, freed from the shackles of mortality, living freely and unrestrained, why would they bind themselves with rules and moral restraints?
Fang Zhou looked at the wormhole in the sky and asked, "Have the alien creatures not returned? Could it have been just a one-time wave?"
Ling Xiaoyue apparently understood what "one-time wave" meant. She shook her head and said, "We managed to repel one of their assaults back then and then worked together to seal this scar in the sky, but it didn’t last long."
After a bloody battle, while Immortals suffered heavy casualties, the alien invaders did not fare much better. The enemies coming through the wormhole were almost completely slaughtered, and a small number escaped into the universe through the atmospheric barrier, their whereabouts unknown.
But it wasn’t over. The surviving Immortals knew for sure that the other side of the wormhole would organize another wave of attacks. Crossing the universe to invade was unlikely to have been done with such small forces.
So the Immortals joined forces to place a seal on the wormhole to prevent further passage.
Unfortunately, this seal wasn’t permanent and could only barely sustain for a short period. They had to find the lost Yin Yang Energy and Heavenly Repair Stone to completely seal this breach.
With no external enemies temporarily, the surviving Immortals once again confronted each other over ideological differences.
Ling Xiaoyue’s faction wanted to use this time to retrieve the Yin Yang Energy and simultaneously open the tribulation, allowing enough Ascenders to enter the Immortal World to replenish their forces for the next wormhole invasion.
The True Mother God’s faction, however, advocated abandoning the already shattered Immortal World. They believed that the wormhole could open once, so it could open a second time; fighting like this would be endless. It would be better to let these already useless places go to the other side and seek new heavens in the vast universe.
Each side had its arguments, and neither could convince the other, so they ultimately decided to act independently and do as they pleased.
Looking at the shattered Immortal World, Ling Xiaoyue couldn’t help but sigh. If both sides had taken a step back, the situation might not have been as bad as it is now.
The second invasion of the wormhole hadn’t even arrived, and yet the Immortals themselves were already falling apart, which was truly laughable.
Of course, Ling Xiaoyue absolutely wouldn’t think she was wrong and would only believe the True Mother God’s group advocating for escape were stubborn and inflexible, without any room for compromise.
"So when will this seal not hold?"
Fang Zhou pointed to the wormhole above.
