Book 4: Chapter 23: Heavenly Jealous Physique

“You are Wise Immortal?”

Bai Qiuran said in surprise:

“I thought that Wise Immortal was the leader of the Land Immortals.”

“It used to be like that, but then my shameless apprentice took them to rebel.”

Wise Immortal said:

“I don’t know whether he is too stupid, still thinking about fighting for power when facing the crisis of subjugation, or I am too stupid to realize that he is so stupid.”

“That’s easy to handle, you two are stupid.”

Bai Qiuran asked again:

“Can you tell me what happened before the battle between humans and devils? Much of our current history has been destroyed, and the remaining ones are unclear.”

“Of course, it’s not a secret thing.”

Wise Immortal continued to answer:

“I believe you have guessed more or less now. Yes, before the battle between humans and devils, the human race once established an immortal dynasty that ruled the Nine Provinces and Ten Lands, called the Sacred Dynasty. However, the origin of this dynasty began from the previous onde.”

Wise Immortal slowly explained everything.

“To talk about the Sacred Dynasty, we have to start with the immortal dynasty before the Sacred Dynasty. Before the Sacred Dynasty, there was also an immortal dynasty, named Dongqing Dynasty, its royal color was green. This immortal dynasty used to extend the map of the human race to the wilderness. In the time of the Eastern Qing Dynasty, the far west of Broken Soul River was called the wilderness.

The Dongqing Dynasty was founded by the first generation of the Holy Green Emperor, and it lasted for several generations until it was passed to the last generation of the Holy Green Emperor. Even though his tyrannical and cruel reign caused people’s complaints and dissatisfaction everywhere, some Land Immortal also raised the flag of rebellion, at this time, the strength of the Dongqing Immortal Dynasty was still overwhelmingly strong.

Just like the record on the stone tablet, the Holy Green Emperor randomly sent an army to sweep these mobs.

“Land Immortal Zhang Lie of the Zuiyin Mountain was actually the most powerful force in the resistance at the time, but even he only lasted a year before he was beheaded.”

The skull head paused and continued:

“The reason why the inscriptions you saw awakened the ancient city of the Sacred Dynasty is because the first emperor of the Sacred Dynasty is the descendant of Zhang Lie.”

It continued to narrate the affairs of the Sacred Dynasty.

“Originally, the Holy Green Emperor, who had overwhelming strength, was able to continue the Dongqing Immortal Dynasty for a long time no matter how tyrannical and cruel he was, but just three years after the execution of Zhang Lie, the entire Dongqing Immortal Dynasty, including the Imperial Army guarding the capital, the Flying Scale Army guarding the fissures in the demon world, the Demon Squashing Army guarding the Broken Soul River, all these elite immortal troops disappeared overnight.

Then, as if it was planned, the devils and giant beasts in the Wilderness crossed the unguarded Broken Soul River and rushed straight into Nine Provinces and Ten Lands. The Dongqing Immortal Dynasty which has existed for tens of thousands of years just perished.

“The next is a terrible period. During this period of time, the human race was slaughtered and swallowed by the devils and giant beasts, and the population was almost drastically reduced by 70%.”

Skull head quietly said:

“Until Zhang Lie’s descendant, Zhang Qing, who has cultivated to the perfect state of Land Immortal, united the human race under his command. He created the Sacred Dynasty, gradually unified the human race, and driving the devils and giant beasts to the western soil. This is the establishment of the sacred dynasty.”

“The so-called Land Immortals are immortals who have broken through the Great Ascension stage but have stayed in the mortal world and have not ascended to the Immortal Realm, right?”

Bai Qiuran asked:

“So there should be no life limit for such people? What happened to Zhang Qing after established the Sacred Dynasty?”

“He’s dead. Zhang Qing, like his ancestor Zhang Lie, is an idealist who can sacrifice his life for the human race.”

The skull’s tone was a little regretful.

“After the human race has gained a firm foothold in the Nine Provinces and Ten Lands, not only the devils but also the neighboring demons will attack from time to time. In the beginning, when the Dongqing Immortal Dynasty still existed, it was so powerful that they could only bow their heads. At that time, they finally found a chance. Many emperors of the Sacred Dynasty worked hard to maintain the peace, several ones even died in battle. The human race finally established its hegemony in the Nine Provinces and Ten Lands, the devils, and the giant beasts returned to the wilderness, and the demons also returned to the demon world after signing the treaty. Then, after a period of relative peace, some of the emperors chose to ascend and go to the Immortal Realm to pursue a higher cultivation level, while some died in the power struggle of the royal family, just like the Dongqing Dynasty. In general, the Sacred Dynasty finally gradually corrupted after lack of restraining power, and followed in the footsteps of the Dongqing Immortal Dynasty.”

“Then it went off like this?”

Bai Qiuran asked.

“No, later, when the last emperor of the Sacred Dynasty reigned, the demons and giant beasts that had been silent for many years in the wilderness suddenly appeared again. After tens of thousands of years, they seemed to become stronger and more perfect. The Sacred Dynasty has been unable to resist them this time. Even if the emperor fought desperately, he was not able to change the situation.”

The skull replied:

“Later, in order to leave the vital resources for the future human race, I was ordered to bring people to open up this Wise Immortal Mansion, and forged countless ancient cities. Originally, these ancient cities were used to evacuate the people and allow the people of the Sacred Dynasty to be able to hibernate underground to avoid disaster, but at this time, taking advantage of the emperor’s death in battle, the crown prince took a group of Land Immortals and seized power. They killed me and destroyed my soul, that’s how I end up in the current state. Then, they forcibly opened the incompleted ancient city, sealed their own soul in hibernation, intended to rebuild hegemony by possession when the human race regenerates.”

“It’s really a history of ups and downs.”

Bai Qiuran sighed:

“Then let’s stop the topic of history here. Wise Immortal, you said that you have the Great Wisdom granted by Heaven, does it mean you know everything?”

“No, what I know is limited to what I have seen before. The Great Wisdom given to me by Heaven is that when I see something, I can learn all its information through Heaven, but I can’t know what I haven’t seen. For example, why did the people of the Immortal Dynasty of Dongqing disappear overnight, I don’t know.”

The skull explained:

“In order to satisfy my insatiable thirst for knowledge, I sacrificed my other desires in exchange for this ability and the immortality blessed by heaven.”

“Oh, that means you don’t know how I can build the foundation?”

Bai Qiuran was quite disappointed, and asked with a little expectation:

“In my case, can you get some clues through Heaven?”

“Of course, there is no need to ask Heaven. I have seen a situation like you before.”

The soul fire in Wise Immortal’s eyes floated in Bai Qiuran’s direction.

“Isn’t it Heavenly Jealous Physique? Although it is rare, I still know it.”

“Heavenly Jealous?”

Bai Qiuran blinked and muttered “There is something wrong” in his heart, and hurriedly asked:

“What it is?”
