Chapter 1583: Chapter 1583: It’s Time You Knew Some Things

Jian Mingyin’s face reddened, and she quickly broke free from Yang Yan’s embrace, her figure flickering next to Jian Wuming.

Yang Yan asked in astonishment, "Daughter, what’s going on here?"

Jian Mingyin hurriedly explained, "It’s not what you think. The Ancestor treats me very well, like his own daughter, which is why he says such things."

Jian Wuming let out a light snort, as if he had tacitly acknowledged it.

At this moment, Yang Yan said to Jian Wuming thick-skinnedly, "Father-in-law, please accept a bow from your son-in-law."

Saying this, he bowed respectfully to Jian Wuming.

Only then did Jian Wuming’s resentment ease a bit.

Soon after, Jian Wuming said, "Yang Yan, come to me, Mingyin, I will tell you about True Immortals. Now is the time for you to learn."

Though Jian Mingyin felt strange, she still obeyed Ancestor’s command and approached him with Yang Yan.

Jian Wuming gazed at the sky and sighed deeply, "Alas! The world today has become corrupt and decayed."

"In the Ancient Times, True Immortals were the highest level. Besides them, only the World Tree, whose existence is unknown over how many eras, surpassed them."

Yang Yan’s heart stirred as he thought of the World Tree core within his body.

Jian Wuming glanced at him languidly, "The World Tree is not everlasting; only the World Tree core can endure."

Yang Yan was startled, knowing that the existence of the spirit was unknown, but at this moment Jian Wuming revealed such words.

Jian Wuming’s words seemed to acknowledge the existence of the spirit.

Meanwhile, Yang Yan also became doubtful if the spirit was still like the spirit before.

Jian Wuming continued, "Who in this world can escape death? Ascending to immortality only means living longer."

"But when the day comes that life runs dry, one inevitably turns to dust."

Yang Yan couldn’t help but speak, "Doesn’t the everlasting existence of the World Tree prove eternity?"

He spoke this to resolve the confusion in his heart.

Jian Wuming looked deeply at Yang Yan, as if seeing through his entire being, witnessing the existence of the World Tree within his sea of consciousness.

But Yang Yan understood this was mere illusion.

Even if the World Tree existed, unless he actively revealed it, even an Immortal Monarch couldn’t discover the World Tree within his sea of consciousness.

Jian Wuming continued, "Since the Ancient Times, countless times the World Tree shattered, its intelligence replaced countless times in successive destructions."

"Where is eternity in all this? Perhaps only Divine Gold, which never gives birth to intelligence, and the fallen bodies of Immortal Emperors can be eternal."

"This world seems unable to host eternal beings. Should they appear, they can only exist as stones, lasting through time."

Yang Yan felt deeply shaken, faintly touching upon the world’s truth.

Yet after recalling carefully, he realized he hadn’t unlocked any secrets.

He had no choice but to continue listening to Jian Wuming’s discourse on world history.

"Long ago in the Ancient Era, the existence of three thousand True Immortals stabilized All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, ensuring a steady life throughout."

"Those three thousand True Immortals had long grasped their Rule Origin and could be considered indestructible; they were immortal."

"But one day, for reasons unknown, the three thousand True Immortals divided into two factions, erupting in fierce conflict. Darkness overwhelmed the skies, obscuring the sun and moon."

"While the others assumed it was just another quarrel between them, like past times."

"None could predict that in this battle, a True Immortal would fall."

Upon reaching this point, terror flickered in Jian Wuming’s eyes.

As if the ancient battle had reappeared right before him.

"That battle devastated All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, countless True Immortals perished. The one capable of killing True Immortals was your World Tree."

Yang Yan was overwhelmed by turmoil.

He never imagined the World Tree possessed such power to annihilate ancient True Immortals, akin to the terrifying strength of present Immortal Emperors.

Unable to withstand the unanswered questions, Yang Yan hastily inquired:

"Why did the World Tree ignite war among Ancient True Immortals? What grants the World Tree such power?"

Jian Wuming sighed deeply before continuing, "At that time, it wasn’t the World Tree that orchestrated the war. It’s unknown why one True Immortal could wield the World Tree’s power."

"He discovered the World Tree held Three Thousand Rules Origin and could annihilate True Immortals, triggering the war."

"This led to True Immortal’s demise, the realms broken, and finally, to the universe we have today."

"Perhaps that True Immortal uncovered the World Tree’s secret, which might be the key to achieving eternity."

"As for why the World Tree possesses the power to kill True Immortals, I do not know."

For the first time, Yang Yan sensed the formidable aspects of the World Tree in his sea of consciousness, though it had aided him significantly in times of crisis.

But he considered the World Tree as a being comparable to Immortal Emperors, never expecting it could vanquish Immortal Emperors.

Perhaps it even harbors the chance to achieve eternity.

Yang Yan felt an overwhelming fear bearing down upon him.

He profoundly grasped the truth in "an unwitting man finds peril in holding precious things."

Now that he holds the World Tree core, even though Immortal Emperors are asleep and Immortal Monarchs and True Immortals cannot act freely in this universe.

But Yang Yan is about to break through to the True Immortal stage.

When the time comes, perhaps...

At this moment, Yang Yan finds himself without a remedy, feeling deeply troubled.

"In the ancient war, nearly all True Immortals perished, except for the one who could wield the power of the World Tree."

"Yet later, recorded in historical texts, following the war that swept across All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, the place where that True Immortal resided shattered into debris across the cosmos."

"And after the World Tree shattered, the place of that True Immortal was echoed with an earth-shattering roar, turning into ruins."

"Later explorers found only fragmented True Immortal corpses and remnants of the World Tree. Nothing else remained."

Yang Yan seemed to envision the scene before the fall of that True Immortal.

That day, while that True Immortal pursued the eternal chance hidden within the World Tree.

For reasons unknown, suddenly the World Tree collapsed, scattering into fragments.

That True Immortal too perished under the World Tree’s power capable of killing True Immortals, his Primordial Spirit dissipating.

Thinking of this, a somber breath arose within Yang Yan’s heart.

Yang Yan curiously asked, "Senior, you have shared much, why haven’t you mentioned the name of that True Immortal?"

Jian Wuming’s expression turned solemn as he replied, "Cannot be spoken, cannot be spoken! That True Immortal once destroyed All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, and now even naming this True Immortal is forbidden."
