Chapter 844: Eight Immortals' Deeds

Chapter 844: Chapter 833: Eight Immortals’ Deeds

Ding Ling asked about the matter.

Little Mountain Sea also expressed not knowing.

Ding Ling then inquired about the Eight Immortals’ whereabouts.

Little Mountain Sea’s leaves drooped and gloomily said:

“They’re all dead.”

‘Even immortals can die?’

Ding Ling was moved:

“Are you sure the Eight Immortals weren’t just thoughts transformed, or perhaps merely avatars?”

“Not thoughts.”

Little Mountain Sea said crisply:

“Although I don’t remember things about my mother, I remember some events that occurred in the Celestial Court. Those Eight Immortals were powerful figures in the Ancient Era, traversing vast areas, nothing like thoughts incarnate, nor like avatars.”

“So, they were real immortals?”

Ding Ling was surprised:

“True Gods were actually killed by this Void Nether Soul Zombie?!”

“They went to their deaths willingly.”

Little Mountain Sea shook her leaves, seemingly deep in recollection:

“I remember they refined eight Divine Swords with their Primordial Spirits and heart’s blood to suppress the Abyssal Flood. The Divine Swords together restrained the flood, thereby averting the total destruction and decay of the Celestial Court and the Valley of Eternal Spring.”

She paused and continued:

“But now I’m about to hold out no longer. If you, big brother, hadn’t come, I might have died a while ago.”

She seemed exceptionally innocent and pure, speaking of death without much fear, her voice youthful, pleasant, and clear, like the tinkling of a Spiritual Spring cascading over rocks:

“Oh my, my previously peeled skin is almost healed, you know. Thanks, big brother.”

It wasn’t just the skin.

Even the lines ‘Duan Siping was here’ and ‘Murong Longcheng was here’ had completely disappeared.

Little Mountain Sea’s tree body was beginning to recover vitality.

The yellow spots covering her head gradually turned green.

Ding Ling’s Martial Arts True Qi’s restoration strength was notable.

“No need to thank me.”

Ding Ling smiled and said:

“You restrained this Void Nether Soul Zombie for the living beings, your merit is immeasurable. I should be the one thanking you.”

“This was the thing I was supposed to do.”

Little Mountain Sea said crisply:

“I’m usually asleep, rarely awake. I only wake for a moment when someone comes. But none of those people have saved or helped me. Only big brother is an exception, so of course, I need to thank you, big brother.”

Ding Ling stopped dwelling on the matter, changed the topic, and said:

“Have all the immortals in the Celestial Court died? How did they die?”

“They died in the battle against the Void Nether Soul Zombie.”

Little Mountain Sea again seemed lost in memory, ‘full-headed’ leaves swaying occasionally:

“The Void Nether Soul Zombie is shapeless and formless, hidden deep in the void, extremely hard to detect. The ancient gods fought the Void Nether Soul Zombie for hundreds or thousands of years, until the last one standing managed to suppress it into the Abyssal Flood. Normally, it remains out of sight, only appearing when people come, trying to tempt them, turning them into puppets for its use.”

“Isn’t the Void Nether Soul Zombie a world?”

“Yes.”

Little Mountain Sea said crisply:

“It is a world. But it can manifest countless enemies within its world.”

“Enemies within the world.”

Divine Mountain Sea?

Ding Ling was stirred in thought, asking:

“Is your mother from the Upper Realm? Is her true identity the Mountain and Sea Realm?!”

The Furnace Spirit of the World Furnace once said the Upper Realm has nine Mountain and Sea Realms.

And the Mountain and Sea Realm is the mother that bore Spirit!

“Mountain and Sea Realm?”

Little Mountain Sea was puzzled, but instinctively shook her leafy head:

“Possibly, perhaps. I don’t know much about my mother. She left in a hurry, leaving only some information points about the Celestial Court, Earth Realm, and how to suppress the Abyssal Flood. Other than that, I know nothing.”

If the Divine Mountain Sea really is the god that nurtures Spirit.

Then at least two of the nine Mountain and Sea Realms have already fallen.

And the enemy comparable to the Divine Mountain Sea, the Void Nether Soul Zombie, must also be a World God capable of nurturing ‘Spirit’.

However, the ‘Spirit’ born in the world of the Void Nether Soul Zombie behaves incredibly eerily, sinisterly, and powerfully.

Even the ancient gods found it hard to resist, leading to their complete annihilation, leaving only some Sword Pills and remnants as proof they once fought and struggled for this world.

“Then why didn’t Duan Siping kill me at the time?”

Ding Ling suddenly thought of this point.

“Because I was restraining the Abyssal Flood, only then did Duan Siping, emerging from the Hongyuan, have a brief chance to regain clarity of mind. Otherwise, in his madness, he would not have recognized anyone.”

“I see.”

Ding Ling was relieved.

So it turns out he survived.

It was all thanks to Little Mountain Sea exerting power in the lower Earth Realm.

At that time, he couldn’t hear Little Mountain Sea’s voice at all.

And did some things that hurt Little Mountain Sea.

Yet, Little Mountain Sea not only didn’t hold grudges but repeatedly helped him, saving him.

It shows the utmost simplicity and kindness of Little Mountain Sea’s heart!

To turn weapons of war into gifts of peace is already commendable.

To transform an enemy into a friend is rare indeed.

To fully accept someone who harmed oneself and be willing to help them wholeheartedly is a level of thought and moral conduct beyond human imagination!

“Divine Mountain Sea, Little Mountain Sea…”

Ding Ling sighed deeply.

As expected of the progeny of the Divine Mountain Sea, such inclusiveness, tolerance, and benevolence is exceedingly rare.

Whew! Whew!

Ding Ling’s Martial Arts True Qi, infused into Little Mountain Sea, became increasingly rich, causing Little Mountain Sea to frequently exclaim, ‘Oh how comfortable, how comfortable’.

As Little Mountain Sea continued to heal.

Ding Ling noticed that the more violently the abyssal flood raged and surged, the higher and more frightening the waves became.

These waves seemed at times about to engulf Ding Ling.

But each time it reached the Valley of Eternal Spring, it would be driven back by the faint glow emanating from the Immortal Tree and the Fountain of Youth.

As the Immortal Tree fully recovered.

The faint glow turned into streaks of fine light, shooting throughout the Ten Directions Realm, weaving into a net and array, repelling the Abyssal Flood back and quickly restoring the Carefree Ten Extremes Array.

The mysterious passage vanished again within the Mortal Realm.

To reappear, the Abyssal Flood would have to overflow and the Immortal Tree decay again.

“Thank you, big brother. I’m all right now.”

Little Mountain Sea’s entire tree body bent down, seeming to bow to Ding Ling as a gesture of thanks.

Ding Ling smiled, took a step back to avoid the courtesy, and said:

“Little Mountain Sea, can I kill that Void Nether Soul Zombie in the Abyssal Flood?”

The Void Nether Soul Zombie is a world.

The ‘Spirit’ it nurtures is also called Void Nether Soul Zombie.

Just like the Divine Mountain Sea, the ‘Spirit’ it nurtures is also called Little Mountain Sea.

“You probably can.”

Little Mountain Sea seemed to be thinking:

“I will cooperate well with big brother. As long as I cooperate well with big brother, I think that Void Nether Soul Zombie will not be your match.”

Saying this.

Little Mountain Sea shook her body, and suddenly a small seedling emitting a faint glow flew out:

“Big brother, this is my ‘Spirit’. You can take it, and it will guide your path forward and assist you in refining the Void Nether Soul Zombie.”
