185: secret

The few people listened to Phoenix Fairy's description.

It turned out that back then, the Heavenly Martial Continent was filled with Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, countless experts, and Emperor Realm Experts traversed it, and she was the only Immortal on the Heavenly Martial Continent.

She was the first expert to Breakthrough to the Human Immortal Realm, possessing the True Phoenix Holy Body, shattering the Void Realm, and Ascension to the Immortal Realm, originally thinking she would leave behind a myth.

However, Phoenix Fairy's process after Ascension to the Immortal Realm was not so perfect, and it was even a bit stifling.

A Human Immortal Realm Early Stage Martial Artist, who ascended from the Lower Realm, could be said to be as numerous as ox hair in the entire Immortal Realm; while not the absolute bottom, they certainly had no say.

When Phoenix Fairy ascended to the Immortal Realm, she landed in the Qingye Mountain Range, an extremely vast mountain range that was larger than the entire Heavenly Martial Continent.

The largest force controlling the Qingye Mountain Range was called the Qingye Sect, and it was said that there were True Immortal Realm Experts within the Sect, terrifying to such an extent.

And Phoenix Fairy, possessing the True Phoenix Holy Body, was an incredibly rare Alchemy treasure for those experts.

Therefore, the Qingye Sect tricked Phoenix Fairy into entering it, intending to refine the Bloodline within her body into a Medicinal Pill.

But Phoenix Fairy was not foolish; as a Human Immortal who ascended from the Lower Realm, she had fought her way through countless battles and experienced extraordinary things, so she sensed that something was amiss. She immediately used her methods to escape the Qingye Sect, leave the Immortal Realm, and flee back to the Lower Realm, the Heavenly Martial Continent.

However, the Qingye Sect pursued relentlessly, dispatching three Human Immortal Experts to the Lower Realm to apprehend her, and Purple Yang Immortal was one of them.

It was just that Purple Yang Immortal did not know the reason for the capture; he was not a direct descendant of the Qingye Sect, but also a Martial Artist who had ascended to the Immortal Realm from another Lower Realm.

The fleeing Phoenix Fairy united all the Emperor Realm Experts of the Heavenly Martial Continent, and here, a great battle erupted with the three Human Immortals from the Immortal Realm.

Ultimately, Phoenix Fairy and all the Emperor Realm Experts perished.

Purple Yang Immortal was suppressed by the Locking Immortal Tower.

Yue Zhi Immortal was Sealed within an ice crystal coffin, unable to escape.

The leader, Blood Moon Immortal, perished with Phoenix Fairy, buried here.

After hearing the full story, everyone present's expressions changed.

"So that's how it is."

Su Changqing narrowed his eyes; no wonder Phoenix Fairy claimed that people from the Immortal Realm were like jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards—it was indeed true.

To actually use living people for Alchemy, extracting their Bloodline for refinement, was simply insane.

Although Su Changqing didn't know how terrifying a so-called True Immortal was, he certainly couldn't deal with them now, and the gap between them was extremely vast.

However... one day, Su Changqing believed that he would crush True Immortal Realm Experts as easily as crushing an ant.

He still had that much confidence.

"That Qingye Sect is an Immortal Rank force, incredibly terrifying, yet I never expected them to be so despicable. It's truly laughable."

Phoenix Fairy said with a cold laugh.

Su Changqing remained silent, not saying anything about avenging Phoenix Fairy in the future.

After all, there was no real connection between them, so he naturally wouldn't risk his life for revenge.

Of course, if one day Su Changqing's Cultivation became Heaven-Defying and he could easily wipe out the entire Qingye Sect, he would be happy to do it casually.

After all, the Qingye Sect had bullied Martial Warriors from the Heavenly Martial Continent, and he had come from the Heavenly Martial Continent, so casually crushing them would naturally not be a problem.

"This sword was left behind by the leading Human Immortal Martial Artist back then. It is a top-tier Emperor Weapon. If you need it, take it. My Divine Sense is also about to dissipate.

I never thought that I, Phoenix Fairy, would Cultivate for a lifetime, finally Ascend to the Immortal Realm with great difficulty, only to meet such an end. How lamentable."

Her eyes held a hint of helplessness and regret.

"However, after Cultivating for so many years, this is the first time I've seen such a peculiar junior like you. I hope you can go further."

When Phoenix Fairy first saw Su Changqing, she couldn't see through him at all, as if there was an invisible peculiarity on Su Changqing that resisted the probing of Divine Sense.

"Oh, and once this place opens, the Spiritual Qi of the Heavenly Martial Continent will recover, and then it will be a prosperous era for Cultivation. This is also a good thing for you. Cultivate well."

With that, Phoenix Fairy's Divine Sense dissipated.

From now on, there was no longer any trace of Phoenix Fairy in the entire world.

Watching this scene, Su Changqing's eyes flickered between bright and dim.

Although a million years had passed and the Qingye Sect that Phoenix Fairy spoke of might not even exist, possibly having been swallowed by the long river of time, this also served as a reminder to Su Changqing: when he ascends to the Immortal Realm in the future, he must be extremely careful and cautious, otherwise, his fate might be even worse than Phoenix Fairy's.

After all, the secrets Su Changqing held were far greater than Phoenix Fairy's.

Su Changqing glanced at the long sword in front of him and pulled it directly from the stone tablet.

This was a top-tier Emperor Weapon, also the personal sword of Blood Moon Immortal. There was no remnant soul on it, and after a million years of baptism, much of the sword's Spiritual Qi had dissipated, but it remained incredibly sturdy.

However, Su Changqing had the Emperor Abyss Sword, a true Immortal Artifact, in his hand, so he naturally didn't think much of this so-called top-tier Emperor Weapon.

He casually tossed it to Purple Yang Immortal.

"This long sword is for you. Make do with it."

Purple Yang Immortal was momentarily stunned as he looked at the Emperor Weapon in his hand.

This, this was Blood Moon Immortal's most treasured weapon, a top-tier Emperor Weapon, incredibly sharp, and once renowned.

Although after a million years of baptism, most of the Qi within the sword had dissipated, it was still an incredibly rare treasure.

Moreover, if properly nurtured in the Acquired stage, it could definitely recover its original power.

"Thank you, Master!!!"

Purple Yang Immortal saluted excitedly.

Even in his prime, he didn't possess such a treasure, let alone now.

Blackwater Immortal Master and Peak Lord Yuan Jia, standing nearby, also showed envious expressions in their eyes.

Su Changqing took all of this in, smiling faintly:

"If you two render meritorious service in the future, this Saint will not be stingy with rewards."

Su Changqing was truly adept at making casual promises.

Upon hearing this, Blackwater Immortal Master and Peak Lord Yuan Jia were immediately overjoyed.

An Emperor Weapon!

That was an Emperor Weapon!

Perhaps, apart from Su Changqing, no one else in the entire Heavenly Martial Continent would be unmoved.

"Yes."

The two respectfully saluted.

Jiang Jiusheng looked at her Little Junior Brother with some curiosity. After not seeing him for a long time, he was no longer the naive young man who had just joined the Sect, but the Taixuan Sect Saint who wielded power over life and death and terrifying strength.

"Senior Sister, let's go look elsewhere."

Su Changqing said with a slight smile.

"Okay."

Jiang Jiusheng naturally wouldn't refuse.

Within this Secret Realm, many Emperor Realm Experts had perished, so there were still many Emperor Realm Legacies.

Although Su Changqing didn't need the so-called Emperor Realm Legacies, he could bring them back for the Tai Xuan Sect Disciples; it was better than giving them all to the Martial Artists of all races, right?

At that time, if every Tai Xuan Sect Disciple had an Emperor Realm Legacy, it would be incredibly Heaven-Defying.

After all, after the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi recovered, Breakthrough in Cultivation would be easier. If the Martial Artists of all races obtained Emperor Realm Legacies, it was possible that a group of Emperor Realm Experts could emerge in a short period, which would naturally not be a good thing for Su Changqing.
