Chapter 803 - 365: Revered by All, Li Chang’an Forms a Fake Soul

That rebellion marked a historical turning point for the entire Fire Cloud Secret Realm. Hundreds of Golden Core cultivators across the secret realm were slaughtered, all factions were destroyed, and a massive amount of records was lost in the turmoil. Aside from the Fire Cloud Divine Hall, every other sect and clan was completely wiped out.

From then on, successive generations of Fire Cloud Divine Lords began utilizing the treasures left behind by the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty. In the years that followed, countless other upheavals occurred. Whenever a situation completely spiraled out of control, the Fire Cloud Divine Hall would use Tier Four Power to destroy everything. Because of this, many low-level cultivators in the Fire Cloud Secret Realm believed that their world had experienced several great calamities, resulting in the disappearance of past records. In reality, these so-called great calamities were all orchestrated by the Fire Cloud Divine Hall.

"It is true that some ancient texts were destroyed in the turmoil, but many were also confiscated by my Fire Cloud Divine Hall, especially the records concerning the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty," the Fire Cloud Divine Lord recounted slowly. "Therefore, the masses of the Fire Cloud Secret Realm today have no idea that the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty even existed. They believe the Fire Cloud Secret Realm is the entire Cultivation Immortality Realm..."

If his words were to spread to the outside world right now, they would undoubtedly cause an absolute uproar, likely triggering a new round of turmoil within the secret realm. However, Li Chang’an had used an Array to intercept all sound.

He asked the Fire Cloud Divine Lord, "Do you know the entrance and exit of the secret realm?"

"I do not," the Fire Cloud Divine Lord shook his head. "Not only do I not know, but none of my ancestors knew either."

"Oh? Have you never thought of investigating it?"

"They did not dare to," the Fire Cloud Divine Lord stated.

According to the records, the officials of the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty always appeared suddenly. Only those officials knew the location of the secret realm’s entrance and exit. The natives of the Fire Cloud Secret Realm, even those from the Fire Cloud Divine Lord’s lineage, had no idea how to leave. Out of fear of the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty, his ancestors did not dare to investigate the entrance and exit, despite their curiosity about what the outside world looked like. Even though they all suspected that the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty might no longer exist, they still dared not act rashly.

"My ancestors all felt there was nothing wrong with ruling over this small secret realm, but I didn’t think so. In fact, I had considered investigating the exit of the secret realm."

The Fire Cloud Divine Lord’s courage was far greater than that of his predecessors. He had originally planned to first break through to Tier Four Body Refinement before searching for the exit. That way, even if he encountered a Nascent Soul True Monarch from the outside world, he would have the strength to fight!

However, before he could successfully break through, Li Chang’an arrived.

Li Chang’an rejoiced inwardly, "Good thing I acted fast enough." The exit of the secret realm wasn’t actually too hidden. As long as the Fire Cloud Divine Lord mobilized the cultivators of this entire world to search for it, it wouldn’t take long to find.

At this time, the Fire Cloud Divine Lord voiced the question lingering in his mind. "My Lord, has the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty already perished?"

"Yes." Since Li Chang’an completely controlled the Fire Cloud Divine Lord, there was no need to hide too much. He immediately spoke of the events that had occurred in the outside world—from the fall of the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty to the Nine Great Immortal Sects, then to the last Divinity Transformation Celestial Monarch, all the way up to the current Battle of Righteous and Evil.

After listening, the Fire Cloud Divine Lord remained silent for a long time. According to Li Chang’an’s account, the Righteous Dao did not have high odds of winning this Battle of Righteous and Evil. If the Demonic factions were to take over Changqing Mountain, the entire Fire Cloud Secret Realm would face a great calamity. His own fate would likely be far more miserable than it was now. Although he had become Li Chang’an’s servant, he wasn’t subjected to too many restrictions. Moreover, through Li Chang’an, he could glimpse a much vaster world.

"My Lord, if the Righteous Dao is defeated, can you take me away with you?"

"Rest assured. If it truly comes to that, I will naturally take you with me," Li Chang’an promised. To him, the Fire Cloud Divine Lord was already his personal property, so he naturally had to bring him along.

About half an hour later, the interrogation concluded.

Li Chang’an went with the Fire Cloud Divine Lord to inspect his private Treasure Vault. Inside this private Treasure Vault, massive amounts of Fire Cloud Crystals were stored. As far as the eye could see, countless Fire Cloud Crystals were piled up like mountains. Furthermore, there were quite a few Tier Four Treasures, all left behind by the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty back in the day.

"The total value of these Fire Cloud Crystals and treasures could probably rival ten thousand years of accumulation from those Nascent Soul Sects."

Li Chang’an didn’t stand on ceremony. With a grand wave of his hand, he collected all the treasures into his own Storage Pouch.

Afterward, he went to the Fire Cloud Divine Lord’s private Library. Inside the Library, there were quite a few Cultivation Techniques and Magic spells, but most were of a low Tier. Back then, the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty was likely worried that a peerless genius might emerge from the Fire Cloud Secret Realm and deliberately suppressed its cultivators.

Li Chang’an carefully browsed through everything. He didn’t see a single one that reached the Celestial Grade; there were only a handful of Earth Grade Cultivation Techniques and Magic spells. In addition, the Hundred Skills of Cultivation Immortality were also incomplete, with only the four disciplines of Pill, Talisman, Artifact, and Array reaching Tier Three. The methods for utilizing various treasures were similarly quite crude. Under these circumstances, those capable of cultivating to the Golden Core Stage were almost all exceedingly rare geniuses. Just like Gao Tianlan, the first to submit to Li Chang’an—if he had been in the outside world, he would have likely cultivated to the Late Stage of Golden Core long ago.

Soon, Li Chang’an discovered the records concerning the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty.

"So this world once had Tier Four Spirit Veins, and more than one at that. They were just extracted by the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty," Li Chang’an muttered. "Without a Tier Four Spirit Vein, advancing to Nascent Soul is significantly more difficult."

These Ancient Texts recorded the actions of the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty in this world. According to their descriptions, many perilous lands originally existed here. Besides the Human Race, there were also a massive number of Demon Beasts and bizarre Alien Races. Among those Alien Races, there were even Tier Four existences comparable to Nascent Soul True Monarchs.
