“Hmph, the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals truly is full of evildoers. They’re assisting mere mortals to return to the Immortal Cultivation World, yet they still labelled them as traitors. What a great pretext to perpetrate their crimes!” the skull complained angrily and disdainfully.
“Little boy, you must remember, do not ever let the cultivators of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals discover that white jade hand bone on you.”
“Otherwise, your life will be in danger!”
The skull warned.
“Why is that?” Xiao Heng widened his eyes in confusion.
“This is related to a great figure and the dispute between that figure and the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.” The skull sighed, before recounting an ancient tale to Xiao Heng.
Long, long ago, a True Immortal descended upon the Xuanhuang World.
He was kind and virtuous, caring deeply about all living beings.
Knowing the difficulties of cultivation and the hardships of becoming an
Immortal, he tirelessly taught the principles of cultivation to all cultivators.
Many practitioners benefited greatly from him, making incredible progress in their cultivation.
The Immortal Cultivation World had its most prosperous period during this time.
However, when the time came for the True Immortal to return to the Immortal World, he was ambushed by a group of cultivators.
This group of people was highly adept at cultivation and were utterly fearless.
They shattered the passage between the Immortal World and the Xuanhuang World, trapping the True Immortal.
After rounds of endless battles, the True Immortal’s injuries became more and more severe.
In the end, he perished in the Xuanhuang World.
Although the True Immortal had physically died, his will remained.
Before his death, he took one last look at the Xuanhuang World.
Every sight and object in the world was imprinted in his mind. His will lingered for a long time, and after thousands of years, it gradually evolved into a massive consciousness world.
The Fallen Immortal Realm.
The group of cultivators who attacked the True Immortal back then formed the initial Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.
The amount of information contained in this story was massive and took Xiao Heng a while to digest.
“Senior, why did the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals attack the True Immortal?” Xiao Heng asked.
“Why? Of course, it was for benefits! The True Immortal came from the Upper
Realm and had countless Immortal Laws and Immortal Instruments.” “Acquiring even one is a great opportunity. ”
“Take the Tianxuan Mirror, the cornerstone of the Alliance of Thousands of
Immortals, for example, it is one of the Immortal Instruments that the True Immortal used to keep by his side.”
“It has endless wonders.”
The skull said, with a tone full of resentment towards the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.
Afterward, the skull introduced the wonders of the Tianxuan Mirror to Xiao Heng.
Xiao Heng, who had never seen such a treasure, had his eyes light up.
Then he denounced, “The Alliance of Thousands of Immortals is truly despicable!”
After a while, Xiao Heng asked again, “Then who are you, senior? And why have you turned into this kind of state?”
The skull fell silent for a while, seemingly recalling memories.
Then he slowly said, “Not all cultivators are as heartless and crazy as the original Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.”
“There are many cultivators who have benefited from the True Immortal and are immensely grateful and respectful to him.”
“After hearing that the True Immortal was attacked by the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, they were devastated and swore to avenge the True
Immortal.’
“They spontaneously formed the [Immortal Revival] organization, opposing the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.”
“Unfortunately, the power of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals was too massive, the Immortal Revival couldn’t compete.”
“After thousands of years of extermination, the number of members in
Immortal Revival diminished. Now, only I remained alive.”
The skull’s words were filled with a sense of unyielding sadness.
Xiao Heng, who had a strong sense of justice, couldn’t help but get emotional, his eyes were slightly red.
“Senior…” he wanted to offer some comfort, but the skull interrupted him.
“Haha, I don’t need pity from a little kid like you!”
“Before, I was merely lingering on as a consciousness within the rift of the
Fallen Immortal Realm, and the Immortal Revival had no successors.”
“I didn’t expect that the heavens would allow me the chance of [Immortal Revival], bringing you into my presence!” A ghostly radiance shot out from the eye sockets of the skull, enveloping Xiao Heng.
“Boy, you are a cultivation genius that appears once in a millennium. To join our [Immortal Revival] and take up the mantle of fighting against the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, couldn’t be better!”
Saying that, Xiao Heng noticed a storage ring appearing on his hand.
At the same time, a great deal of information suddenly appeared in his spirit consciousness.
Most of it was basic knowledge needed for cultivation, and even contained a technique called the [Ocean Command Rapier].
The skull withdrew the ghostly radiance, speaking slowly, “I have imparted to you the knowledge of early cultivation, it’s enough for you to cultivate safely until the Golden Core Stage.”
“However, you must remember to cautiously conceal yourself, never expose yourself. That Immortal Sovereign from the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals has unfathomable cultivation. Thousands of years have passed, I’m afraid her strength might not be inferior than that True Immortal from back then. ”
Xiao Heng’s face turned serious, but then he awkwardly asked, “Senior, I’m still young and alone. It’s a bit… isn’t it for me to take on the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals?”
The skull scolded angrily, “Fool! You can recruit! If you meet any companions with talent, you can invite them to join us in [Immortal Revival]. The [Immortal Revival] faction has been dormant for thousands of years, we need fresh blood.”
“But ensure the other party is trustworthy, don’t let the spies of the Alliance of
Thousands of Immortals infiltrate.”
Xiao Heng said with a hint of surprise, “That’s really wonderful!”
The skull said again, “I have expended too much energy imparting my knowledge to you. I am about to fall into slumber.”
“For the time being, the matters of [Immortal Revival] will be entrusted to you.”
“If there are new members, you can bring them to the middle finger bone.”
“There is an altar there, a treasure of our [Immortal Revival]. You can obtain techniques and items by praying.”
“However, the altar is sentient, it only responds to reasonable requests. You will get the specifics once you use it.”
The voice of the skull grew weaker but did not cease to give instructions.
“Senior, how long will you sleep before you wake up?” Xiao Heng asked worriedly.
“Hehe, that’s uncertain. I am someone who is already dead, I barely survive with a thread of obsession.”
“I may wake up within a year or so, or I may never wake up.”
“However, if you are willing, when you have the capability in the future, you can help me collect the Foundation Establishment Strange Objects that form from a cultivator’s death. Although those items no longer hold the wonders of heaven and earth and are useless to others, they can assist in my revival.”
The skull said slowly.
Xiao Heng nodded continually, keeping it in mind.
“Remember, there’s another point. If you sense that my aura has completely disappeared, that would mean this place might have been exposed. Immediately destroy this hand bone and never enter this place again.” The skull reminded again.
“Alright, that’s it.” The skull seemed to have weakened to the extreme, no longer able to support itself.
“Senior!” Just as the skull was about to completely succumb to slumber, Xiao Heng hesitated and then voiced the question that had been bothering him.
“You haven’t told me your name yet?”
“….You are not worthy to know my name yet. Once you truly take up the responsibility of Immortal Revival, you will know.”
After saying that, the skull disappeared into the darkness.
“Senior? Senior?” Xiao Heng called out a few times, but there was no response.
He sighed regretfully, took out a silver necklace from his storage ring, and began to resonate with it as his senior taught him. The necklace emitted a radiance.
Then Xiao Heng’s vision darkened. A moment later, he was back on the Deserted Island Flying Boat.
His companions were still deeply asleep around him. All that had just occurred seemed like a dream.
But the ring in his hand, and the necklace hanging around his chest, reminded Xiao Heng that this was not a dream.
The young Xiao Heng was burdened with responsibilities that a child his age should not carry.
Exhausted by the mental strain, he soon fell asleep.
Early the next morning, he woke up before everyone else.
He went alone to the beach, recalling the techniques imparted by the senior skull, and quietly began cultivating with eyes closed, sensing the spiritual energy around him.
A little while later, Ye Feipeng, who had awoken to find Xiao Heng missing, noticed the fluctuations of spiritual energy by the sea and came over. Seeing Xiao Heng meditating with his eyes closed, at first, he didn’t notice anything.
But when he got closer, Xiao Heng suddenly opened his eyes. A faint blue, but vaguely formed water sword appeared.
Guarding in front of Xiao Heng, with its sword tip pointing straight at Ye Feipeng, it threatened to launch a deadly attack at any moment.
Ye Feipeng stumbled and fell to the ground as if he had seen a ghost. Pointing at Xiao Heng, his body trembling, he couldn’t say a word for a long time..
