Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 603 The Primordial Land, The Legend of Immortals! (Two Chapters Combined)

"One unit complete."

"Two complete."

Three.

Song Changming waited until his mental energy was more than half depleted before stopping and preparing to leave.

He could certainly continue to expend his energy analyzing and deconstructing the seal.

However, he felt that even without the abyssal beasts, this place was not safe, and he couldn't help but feel uneasy if he continued to waste his energy here.

Therefore, his consistent approach is to stop when he has used up half of his energy and wait for the next session.

Take out the bronze mirror. Most of the cracks on this precious mirror have been completely repaired by itself, with only the last small crack still remaining.

Yuan San is right, the Treasure Mirror can heal itself, but the speed of self-repair is much slower than he said.

Sixty years have passed, and it has not yet fully recovered.

Of course, as long as it doesn't affect Song Changming's daily teleportation use, he's not in a big hurry about whether the treasure mirror is repaired or not.

After all, he didn't know what the effect would be after the magic mirror was completely repaired.

Just as he was about to open the portal, a voice suddenly entered his mind, causing him to stop. His eyes showed a change, and he lost his previous ease.

"You brat from the Witch Clan, it's you again!"

The voice was casual and non-threatening, but it was enough to make Song Changming focus and tense up.

This was because the voice belonged to none other than the heart of the Star Devouring Dragon emanating from the seal below.

He had once encountered this world-destroying beast, but had not found another opportunity since.

Now, decades later, this is only the second time he has heard the voice of the Star Devourer Dragon.

“Only I would come here, and it could only be me,” Song Changming replied, taking a deep breath.

"That's true. Even if other beings came here, it would be mostly useless. Only you can make contact with me."

Song Changming remained silent.

"So, do you want to let me out?" Seeing that Song Changming didn't respond, the Star Devouring Dragon's voice rose again.

“Impossible.” Song Changming refused decisively.

He was determined that no matter how eloquently the Star Devourer Dragon talked, he would never release it.

He would never do something so foolish as to release a terrifying beast with the power to destroy the world.

"Don't you want to come with me and see that real world, that wider world? Are you willing to stay here in this little anthill and not want to give it up?" The Star Devouring Dragon continued the previous topic.

Even though this topic has been around for decades.

His voice was seductive, easily arousing beings outside the seal.

Song Changming even felt a little dazed, but soon the little soul in his sea of ​​consciousness gathered his spiritual power and transformed it into an unbreakable barrier, directly blocking the soul-penetrating voice of the Star-Devouring Dragon, and he regained his clarity.

"Um?!"

His alertness immediately spiked.

In the previous communication, although he heard the thoughts of the Star Devouring Dragon, the Star Devouring Dragon could not affect his soul in the same way as it could now.

Now, his spiritual power has become stronger, and he is being influenced by the other party.

Is this a sign that the sealing power is weakening?
"Don't worry, relax. We can definitely cooperate. You don't belong here either. The descendants of the Witch Clan only exist in the primordial land. You are just a wanderer here, just like me."

The Star Devouring Dragon made almost no attempt to conceal its intentions; it wanted to bewitch Song Changming into helping it escape. Its words were quite straightforward, yet they inexplicably stirred the mind.

"Stop your tricks, or there's no point in us talking anymore," Song Changming said with a cold snort.

"You've misunderstood me. I didn't do anything. This is the power of the heart; it conveys not only words but also emotions."

My heart doesn't lie; you should be able to sense that in these words, I harbor no ill will towards you.

The Star-Devouring Dragon patiently explained, clearly not wanting Song Changming to actually turn and leave.

Song Changming did indeed want to learn more from this Star-Devouring Dragon, and he was willing to take some risks for it.

He also believed in the spiritual power he had cultivated to this day.

Wu Shenpo has already reached the third level of godhood in the past few decades. His soul strength and potential have increased significantly.

He was truly unafraid of the Star-Devouring Dragon's bewitching influence.

"So, you also come from the primordial land you mentioned? Tell me, what kind of place is that? I'm not going to a completely unfamiliar and unknown dangerous world," Song Changming replied.

"Hehe, you will go," the Star Devourer Dragon seemed unconcerned.

"That is the real world, the true heaven and earth. Don't you want to see those legendary immortals who have attained enlightenment and live for ten thousand years?"

"The immortal is right there!"

"And you, you too can become an immortal, as long as you go there!"

"..." Song Changming was somewhat surprised. He had thought that the Star Devouring Dragon would say something inspiring, but he did not expect that the other party would directly bring up immortals.

"Living for hundreds of years in this small world is like a cicada in summer; no matter how beautiful its song is, it's nothing more than meaningless screeching under a small tree in a corner."

For immortals, hundreds of years are but a fleeting moment, but for you, it is the end of everything. A lifetime of cultivation, all your efforts, have turned to dust and vanished.

"Let me ask you, are you willing to do this?"

"Would you like a celestial fruit that grants immortality and even eternal life?"

Song Changming fell silent, his mind racing with thoughts.

"Outside is the primordial world, while I am in a small, self-contained world."

His intuition told him that, regardless of whether the other party's claim of being an immortal was true or not, the credibility of their description of the world was still quite high.

Moreover, this small world may have many limitations, while that primordial world is a much wider realm.

"If immortals are truly this extraordinary, then becoming an immortal must be extremely difficult. Yet, in your words, it's as if everyone is an immortal," Song Changming chuckled, continuing his attempt to elicit information.

"In the primordial earth, anything can take on a spiritual form; nothing is impossible. Becoming an immortal is not easy, but with your Wu clan's abilities, obtaining an immortal fruit and joining the ranks of immortals is not difficult."

If you help me, I can also help you become an immortal, how about it!

The Star-Devouring Dragon made a promise. Although there was a seal between them, Song Changming felt as if a pair of enormous, oppressive eyes were staring intently at him.

Below the eyes was darkness.

In the darkness, there was a hidden, ferocious maw, as if if he agreed, it would swallow him whole without hesitation, leaving him no chance to escape.

Is the idea of ​​becoming an immortal tempting?

That must be tempting. Everyone wants the supernatural powers and magic of immortals, immortality, and the power to rule the world.

Whether they are highly skilled martial artists or ordinary commoners, no one is exempt.

Of course, this does not include Song Changming.

He already possesses the ability to live forever.

As for the immortals' supernatural powers and magic, he can slowly explore and find them in the future; there's no need to rush.

After all, he wasn't a tree cicada that could only live for a few hundred years; the description of him by the Star Devourer Dragon was not accurate.

The idea of ​​immortals didn't hold much appeal for him.

On the contrary, that primordial world was more of an interest to him.

Everything can become a spirit, and there are even immortals. If all of this is true, then such a world is destined to be even more bizarre and fantastical, and even more vast and unbelievable than the Nine Provinces.

"Are there any martial artists in the primordial world?" Song Changming continued to inquire, setting aside the Star Devouring Dragon's request for mutual assistance.

"Yes, but not many. They are all mortals who went from small worlds to the primordial land but failed to obtain the immortal fruit. They are not just martial artists, but also some other people."

The Star Devourer Dragon seemed very patient, answering every question.

He knew very well that if he wanted to provoke Song Changming, who possessed the Soul of the Witch God, he needed to describe the world he lived in clearly enough.

He knew people well; once they discovered a much larger forest, no tree cicada would want to return to the small tree in the height of summer.

They wish they could all become birds, fly to the forest, and prosper forever.

"The others?"

“Of course, martial arts are the mainstream and orthodox here, but that may not be the case in other small worlds. They have their own mainstream cultivation systems, which is not surprising, is it?” the Star Devouring Dragon explained.

Song Changming thought it made sense, and after a moment's thought, he asked, "How many small worlds are there like ours?"

"As numerous as the stars, they all depend on the original earth, yet exist independently. Some are small worlds inhabited by living beings, while others are dead lands."

As for how the small world was formed, you'll have to come with me to the primordial land in the future to find the answer yourself, hehehe.”

The Star-Devouring Dragon's laughter seemed to confirm that Song Changming would definitely go to his original world, and it intentionally preserved some of the world's mystery, allowing Song Changming to explore it on his own.

At this point in the conversation, the Star Devourer Dragon's inner thoughts began to blur again.

Song Changming understood that the time for this conversation was over again.

"Young man of the Witch Clan, there's no need to rush. Take your time to consider it. Just remember one thing: only I can take you to the Primordial World."

The laughter of the Star-Devouring Dragon gradually weakened and eventually disappeared completely, and Song Changming could no longer detect the presence of the Star-Devouring Dragon.

Song Changming stood still, staring at the sealing array beneath him. In the deathly darkness of the abyss, only the abyssal energy continued to gush forth.

It must be said that this conversation with the Star Devouring Dragon made the new world beyond the Nine Provinces clearer in his mind.

The primordial earth, countless small worlds, immortals, and spirits.
This is the truth about the world that the Star Devourer Dragon revealed to him!

Although it was only a small part, it still had a significant impact on his worldview.

"I thought there was a new world beyond the fog, but now it seems that's not the case," Song Changming shook his head to himself.

His intuition told him that the Star Devourer Dragon hadn't lied to him this time either.

It wasn't until a strange abyssal beast climbed down from above, noticed him, and made a strange sound that Song Changming opened the teleportation portal and left the abyss.

He did not keep the contents of his conversation with the Star Devouring Dragon to himself; instead, he chose to tell the Cloud Emperor.

"The Primordial One?" Inside the Cloud Palace, the Cloud Emperor slowly descended from his throne, muttering to himself, lost in thought.

"Your Majesty has heard of this?" Song Changming asked, seeing that Emperor Yun did not seem too surprised after hearing it.

Without saying much, Emperor Yun directly pulled out a thick ancient book, as tall as a fist, from his Qiankun Ring and handed it to Song Changming.

"The term 'original' has been mentioned in the ancient book collections of the royal family and some longevity families," Emperor Yun said, casually turning to the page he wanted in the ancient book.

The practiced page-turning motion clearly showed that Emperor Yun had read these ancient books extensively in the past, almost to the point of wearing them out.

Song Changming's gaze also fell on the contents of the ancient book.

The entire text is written in ancient human script, which means he has studied and researched ancient human script in particular, which is why he can understand the ancient characters on it.

There is indeed a concept of a primordial land on it, but...
"The Celestial Realm? What is that?"

Song Changming was taken aback. The primordial land recorded in the ancient books was actually a place called 'Qiongjie', which seemed to be somewhat different from what the Star-Devouring Dragon had described.

What concerned him even more was that, according to the ancient books, this primordial land was also known as the Sky Realm, and the Sky Realm was inhabited by immortals!

He never expected that this passage from the ancient book also mentioned the concept of immortals.

When he turned the page and continued reading, he discovered that the content of this record was actually a dream of a descendant of a royal family in Yuanzhou in ancient times.

"Something from a dream can be recorded in this ancient book?" Song Changming said, somewhat speechless.

"Just because he's royalty?"

He now understood why the Cloud Emperor had never mentioned this so-called primordial land before.

After all, this is something from someone's dream, and the content is absurd. Just treat it as an interesting anecdote from back then, and there's nothing worth mentioning. It shouldn't be taken seriously at all.

"If you hadn't told me these things today, I wouldn't have remembered the records in this ancient book," Emperor Yun said with a shake of his head and a faint smile.

"The reason this interesting story was recorded is because this descendant of the royal family later became the ruler of Yuanzhou. In that era, his prestige was almost second only to Emperor Yuan. He was also considered a top-notch expert with amazing talent!"
It's normal that someone with such a background would have their past deeds, words, and even things like bedwetting recorded and told.

Changming, you have the name of the Immortal King of Song, and your deeds have long been widely circulated among the people and have been fabricated into books; it's all the same.

After hearing this, Song Changming had no way to refute it.

Some people are destined to become the protagonists of an era, attracting much attention, which is understandable.

It can only be said that this ancient human king was such a protagonist who shone brightly in an era.

Song Changming's gaze remained fixed on the contents of the ancient book as he turned the pages.

Later, this royal descendant, who had not yet become the king of the human race, claimed that everything in the dream was told to him personally by his father, who had been missing for a hundred years.

Back then, he firmly believed that his father had not disappeared, but had gone to the primordial land in his dream and become an immortal in that celestial realm.

However, this was ultimately just a dream, impossible to verify, and there was no need to verify it.

Song Changming closed the ancient book and looked at Emperor Yun.

Emperor Yun was also watching him.

"How is it?" Emperor Yun asked.

Song Changming was silent for a moment, then frowned and said, "It is indeed too strange."
