121: Chapter 121 The Heart of an Immortal

The movements on Ling Yichen's side had long been noticed by everyone who had reached the demigod level.

However, no one believed he could do it.

Because for hundreds of years, he was not the only one who had harbored this thought; many others had tried, but unfortunately, they all failed.

This time, everyone was convinced he would fail just like the others.

Unexpectedly, the moon actually broke free from the first restraint, which moved countless people!

"It actually broke the first seal. If so, it's very likely it will break the second seal next!"

Lu Yuan's hoarse voice carried a trace of excitement.

Even he had long coveted this [Moon]. Once he could obtain it, perhaps he could fulfill his grandmaster's instructions and explore some secrets of that [Immortal].

In fact, for thousands of years, the Human Race, Demon Race, and God Race had been silently exploring the deeds of this Immortal.

Where did he come from?

And why did he die and end up on the Dark Star?

Most importantly, everyone wanted to glimpse the realm of an Immortal!

So far, the strongest known power was Yuan Tiangang, the God of War among demigods, who could single-handedly take on the Twelve Heavenly Gods of the God Race.

But that was all!

The so-called demigods still hadn't been able to break free from the restraints of heaven and earth and could only stay within the world of the Dark Star!

But that Immortal was different!

He could transcend the restraints of heaven and earth and reach other worlds. With just a fallen immortal body, he nurtured the entire world of the Dark Star, bred countless demigods, and hatched countless powerful races.

Therefore, everyone wanted to know the secrets of that [Immortal] and even more so, wanted to break through to his realm!

However, the three major races all possessed fragments of the immortal body and had studied them for many years, but they had never found the method.

The three races unanimously believed that only by piecing the remains back into a whole would there be a chance to comprehend them.

Yet, no one was willing to hand over the part of the remains they possessed; instead, they all thought about seizing others'.

Now that each race had been recuperating for thousands of years and their power had accumulated to a certain degree, they were all rubbing their hands, eager to try.

Therefore, in recent years, there had been no major wars, but small conflicts had constantly erupted, all testing the reactions of each race.

And right now, this [Moon] seemed to be the fuse that would trigger disputes among the races!

"Senior Brother, let's go over there. I want to see how that kid is doing!"

Chan Yiming said to Lu Yuan beside him.

He saw that Ling Yichen had already disengaged from the unsealing of the moon and felt a faint worry.

At the same time, he looked at the purple light filling the sky, full of eagerness.

The purple ring sealing the moon was formed by the divine consciousness of the Twelve Heavenly Gods. Each ray of purple light was a fragment of divine consciousness. If one obtained and refined it, they could strengthen their own divine consciousness; it was a rare treasure.

The collapse of the purple ring was also an opportunity, and he wanted Ling Yichen to absorb it to improve his strength!

Lu Yuan nodded gently upon hearing this, grabbed Chan Yiming, leaped, disappeared from the foot of the mountain in an instant, and appeared directly beside Ling Yichen.

At this moment, Ling Yichen was still feeling shocked by that glance from the moon when he suddenly felt the space tremble, and then he saw his master and senior uncle appear out of thin air beside him, causing his eyelids to twitch.

"Master, Senior Uncle, why are you here!" he asked in surprise.

However, the next second, Chan Yiming immediately rushed over, slapped him on the back of his head, and scolded, "You rascal, you kept me in the dark for so long!"

Ling Yichen heard this and immediately gave a wry smile, feeling slightly guilty.

Indeed, the old man previously thought he was condensing his first star, but in reality, he had already refined over three hundred stars.

It was really because time was tight; otherwise, he could have even condensed the sixth star halo!

Of course, he didn't dare say this out loud. If the old man knew he still wanted to condense a sixth star halo, he would probably beat him to death!

Five star halos were already extremely terrifying, and the consumption was astonishing. It was only because his spiritual sea of consciousness was powerful enough and his Mental Energy far exceeded that of ordinary people that he could bear the consumption of five star halos!

"Master, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have kept it from you!"

Ling Yichen revealed an innocent smile.

The old man sighed deeply, the anger on his face already struggling to hold, and the laughter between his brows was about to jump out at any moment.

In fact, he was actually very happy.

Having such a talented disciple, how could he not be happy!

"How is it? Are you hurt anywhere?" he asked with concern, his eyes scanning Ling Yichen's body.

Then his expression became strange, because he discovered that Ling Yichen had no injuries.

Although there was residual blood on his mouth, there were no obvious injuries on his body, and his aura was very stable.

"I'm fine, basically nothing wrong!" Ling Yichen answered calmly.

"Holy crap, monster. Being hit by the backlash force of the sealing immortal eye and still being fine? You're a damn monster!" The old man couldn't help but curse, swearing under his breath.

Ling Yichen frowned slightly, looked at his master, and asked, "immortal eye? Master, is that eye an immortal eye? Is it the eye of the Immortal Race?"

Chan Yiming immediately shook his head and said, "It's not the eye of the Immortal Race, but the eye of an Immortal!"

Ling Yichen frowned again. Immortal Race, Immortal? Was there a difference?

Seeing his puzzled expression, Chan Yiming immediately explained, "The Immortal Race is a race, while an Immortal is a realm!"

"Any creature that possesses a trace of the Immortal Bloodline can be called the Immortal Race. For example, that young girl, she awakened the Immortal Bloodline, so she is actually already considered part of the Immortal Race."

"And an Immortal is a supreme realm."

"With the strength you just unleashed, you should barely be considered a quasi-A-rank."

"And above A-rank, there are S-rank, SS-rank and SSS-rank!"

"And above SSS-rank is the existence of demigods!"

"Reaching the level of a demigod can be considered the top combat power in this world."

"However, a demigod is not the end. Above a demigod, there should be higher-level ranks, such as the Immortal Realm!!"

"It's just that we don't know how many spans there are between a demigod and an Immortal!"

"As you can see, that immortal eye in the sky is the eye of an Immortal!"

"Although it is just one eye, the power it unleashed could go head-to-head with several demigods!"

"Is it shocking?"

"One eye can rival several demigods; what kind of powerful existence is this?"

"Moreover, that is just an eye left behind by a dead immortal body."

"It's hard to imagine how powerful he was when he was alive?"

The old man recounted many secrets in one breath, which were things Ling Yichen had never heard of.

Not only him, but locals like Ye Qingzhu had never heard of them either.

Only she, after hearing the old man's story, saw her expression change repeatedly, as if she had thought of something.

Unfortunately, everyone was focused on listening to the old man and did not notice her situation!

"Master, where did this immortal eye come from?" Ling Yichen asked the key question!

Upon hearing this, Chan Yiming immediately looked up at Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan nodded gently, and only then did Chan Yiming look at Ling Yichen and say, "Thousands of years ago, a human immortal body suddenly drifted into our world and fell into the Star Domain."

"Shortly after, the Star Domain nurtured many demigods. These demigods were the original ancestors of the humans, demons, immortals, and gods."

"The ancestors of each race launched a chaotic war that lasted for thousands of years to seize the immortal body. In the end, it ended with the Demon Race winning, the Immortal Race being annihilated, and the Human and God races suffering defeat."

"And the ownership of the immortal body is no secret. The Human and Demon races each took half of the body, while the God Race took the head!"

"That eye was taken by the God Race from the immortal's head!"

"The other one is the sun you see!"

Hearing this, Ling Yichen was completely stunned.

Since he accidentally glimpsed a trace of the moon's secret, he had made countless guesses, never expecting such an answer.

He suddenly looked with pity at the immortal eye struggling to break free from the second seal and murmured, "This Immortal is truly miserable. Even in death, he cannot rest in peace. His body was carved into pieces, and his eyes were refined into the sun and the moon. No wonder his eyes are filled with resentment and brutality!"

At this moment, he finally understood where the anger and brutality in the immortal eye came from.

If it were him, he might be even more brutal than that immortal eye.

He had been imprisoned for six years and already wanted to destroy this world, let alone having been imprisoned for thousands of years!

That was an unimaginable pain!

However, after hearing his words, everyone was stunned.

Everyone was shocked by the power of the Immortal, but only he started from the feelings of the Immortal and felt injustice for the Immortal.

Lu Yuan looked at Ling Yichen with deep eyes, then patted his shoulder, and said, "Perhaps this is where you are different from others. You can always put yourself in others' shoes and feel their pain, while we have never thought about the feelings of the Immortal."

"Everyone craves power and only wants to obtain greater power from the immortal body, never thinking about the emotions of the immortal body itself!"

After saying this, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he asked seriously, "Child, you are completely different from others. Perhaps only you can fulfill the grandmaster's last wish, collect all the remains of the Immortal, and explore all the pasts of the Immortal!"

"Are you willing?" Lu Yuan looked at him with great eagerness.

Ling Yichen was a bit stunned, but he immediately nodded firmly and replied, "If I have that kind of strength in the future, I would naturally be willing to help him piece together a complete body, find him a quiet place, and let him rest in peace!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Lu Yuan suddenly trembled!

Then his expression changed drastically, his aged face suddenly flushed red as blood. The next second, his chest heaved violently, and a dull heartbeat, like a heavy hammer from heaven and earth striking a giant drum, came from his body.

The next second, countless golden rays burst from his chest, and a fist-sized golden heart began to tremble violently, as if it were about to break free from Lu Yuan's chest.

"Senior Brother!" Chan Yiming shouted in horror.

Lu Yuan, however, endured the discomfort, gave Chan Yiming a look, and said tremblingly, "Don't panic, I'm fine."

"It was his words that triggered the resonance of the heart of the immortal; it now wants to leave me and go to him!"

Upon hearing this, Chan Yiming was even more shocked, then looked back at Ling Yichen, feeling somewhat worried.

"The heart of the immortal is incomparably powerful; it cannot be borne by anyone other than a demigod. Can he... handle it?"

After saying this, he suddenly asked anxiously, "You rascal, what level have you practiced your Myriad Worm Body Forging Method to?"

Ling Yichen was stunned. Although he was also very shocked by what was happening, he immediately replied, "Five Viscera Realm is complete, Four Limbs Realm is great success, only the torso part has not been condensed!"

Hearing this, Chan Yiming widened his eyes again, subconsciously cursing, "Holy crap... are you even human?"

He originally thought Ling Yichen had just started practicing the Myriad Worm Body Forging Method and was at most at the early stage of the Five Viscera Realm. But he didn't expect that this kid was not only at the completion of the Five Viscera Realm but also had great success in the Four Limbs Realm. How could he not be surprised?

He had practiced for decades and was only at the completion of the Five Viscera Realm. How could he have surpassed him in such a short time?

However, he still subconsciously asked, "How many Poisonous Insects did you condense in your Five Viscera Realm?"

Ling Yichen didn't think much and replied calmly, "3.6 million!"

"How... how... how many?" Chan Yiming's voice suddenly rose by eight octaves, and his eyes widened.

He once thought he had misheard.

Until he heard Ling Yichen say again, "Uh... 3.6 million!"

"Damn!" Chan Yiming was powerless to refute. He felt terrible, feeling uncomfortable everywhere, especially his heart, which felt like it was about to faint at any moment.

"I worked hard for decades and at most only condensed 3,600, which was already the limit."

"You're telling me you condensed 3.6 million?"

"But then again, since his Mental Energy can maintain the operation of five star halos, it naturally can support you in condensing 3.6 million Poisonous Insects."

"Of course, these 3.6 million are not his limit, but the limit of this Secret Art!"

"Hehe!" At this moment, Chan Yiming was suddenly so jealous!

He sighed deeply, turned to Lu Yuan and said, "Senior Brother, since the heart of the immortal itself has the will to go to that kid, then why don't you take this opportunity to pass it to him? Don't worry that the kid won't be able to bear it; I guarantee he won't die!"

Lu Yuan smiled dotingly upon hearing this.

He had heard the conversation between Chan Yiming and Ling Yichen clearly, and he was also clear about the Myriad Worm Body Forging Method, because it was something they had found together when they were traveling outside.

Since Ling Yichen had already practiced the Myriad Worm Body Forging Method to the great success of the Four Limbs Realm, he could naturally bear this heart of the immortal.

Because back then, Chan Yiming had also once borne the heart of the immortal, and at that time, Chan Yiming was not as powerful as Ling Yichen was now.

"Good, the time, place, and people are all in alignment, everything is very fitting, so let's pass it on!" Lu Yuan also made up his mind!

"Protect me!" Lu Yuan said to Chan Yiming, then tremblingly grabbed Ling Yichen and sat cross-legged facing him.

Hum~

On Lu Yuan's body, the golden light suddenly reached its peak, and the next second, the golden heart slowly floated out from Lu Yuan's chest, heading towards Ling Yichen's chest.

But just at this moment, a voice like a thunderbolt from the sky rang out: "Humph, the heart of the immortal is indeed in the hands of you humans!"
