Perfection: The Eastern Emperor Bell manifests, I am the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor

Chapter 87 Nameless Quasi-Immortal Emperor

The moment he reached the edge of the ancient realm, the void in front of him rippled, and an ancient blue lamp appeared out of thin air.

The flame is not ordinary fire, but a pure and gentle light of wisdom that seems to illuminate people's hearts and guide them on their way.

The green lamp flickered slightly, its flame pointing towards the depths of the ancient realm.

"Fellow Daoist, please follow the lamp."

A gentle and calm voice rang out from the lamp flame; it was none other than the Lamp-Burning Immortal King.

Lu Xuan nodded and followed the guiding blue lamp, flying into the ancient primordial realm.

Along the way, he saw many amazing sights.

It possesses an innate spiritual root that is rooted in the void and absorbs chaotic energy.

There are ancient thunder spirits that frolic in the sea of ​​thunder and control the lightning.

There was a mysterious cultivator, ethereal and elusive, fishing on the banks of a tributary of the river of time…

The profound history of this ancient realm is unfathomable.

Finally, the green lamp led him to the center of the ancient world, a tranquil bamboo forest.

In the center of the bamboo forest, there is a simple thatched hut with a stone table and two stone benches in front of it.

An elderly man, dressed in a simple gray robe, with a thin face and gentle, wise eyes, sat on a stone bench, holding an oil lamp similar to a guiding lamp, and waited quietly.

He exuded no imposing aura, as if he were completely integrated with the bamboo forest and the world around him. Yet, his very existence gave people the feeling of an ancient lighthouse, illuminating the path for the lost and calming the hearts of the people.

He was none other than the Burning Lamp Immortal King.

"Fellow Daoist Lu Xuan, you must be tired from your journey. Please have a seat."

The Immortal King Ran Deng smiled slightly, gestured for Lu Xuan to sit down, and poured him a cup of tea. The aroma of tea mixed with the fragrance of bamboo, which was refreshing and pleasant.

"Thank you for the invitation, Fellow Daoist Ran Deng."

Lu Xuan bowed and sat down. He could sense that this Burning Lamp Immortal King's cultivation was unfathomable, and he was probably a giant among the Immortal Kings.

It may even have touched upon the realm of imperial light, and its path is unique, seemingly related to "guidance," "protection," and "wisdom."

"Fellow Daoist, there's no need to be so polite."

The Immortal King Ran Deng looked at Lu Xuan with a calm gaze, his eyes seemingly able to see through many secrets.

"Fellow Daoist, you have attained the Dao of Chaos Battle Immortal in the Boundary Sea, defeating all the heroes of the various realms. Your reputation has already spread throughout many ancient realms. I have taken the liberty of inviting you here. Firstly, I wish to see such a brilliant and outstanding young talent as you. Secondly... I also sense that you carry a trace of inexplicable causal connection with this ancient history and that bygone era."

Lu Xuan's heart stirred. This Burning Lamp Immortal King was indeed extraordinary, as he could vaguely sense his connection to the era of the Fallen Emperor.

"Fellow Daoist Ran Deng has discerning eyes."

Lu Xuan did not deny it, but he did not elaborate either.

"This journey is also to explore cause and effect and to understand my own path."

The Immortal King of Burning Lamp nodded, not delving into the matter further, but simply stroking the green lamp in his hand and speaking slowly.

"Cause and effect are like the flame of a lamp, flickering and uncertain, yet there are always traces to follow. The ancient primordial world has existed for a long time and has gone through many vicissitudes, perhaps it contains some ancient marks that fellow Daoists may be interested in."

His words were meaningful and seemed to have a hidden meaning.

Lu Xuan understood that this might be another important opportunity for him to explore the lost ancient palace and uncover the mystery of the fallen emperor. He picked up his teacup and began a conversation with the unfathomable Burning Lamp Immortal King in this tranquil bamboo forest, about the Great Dao, cause and effect, and ancient history.

Outside the window, bamboo shadows sway, and the lamplight flickers like a bean, seemingly reflecting the secrets of eternity.

The bamboo forest was tranquil, and the aroma of tea wafted through the air. As Lu Xuan listened to the peaceful words of the Burning Lamp Immortal King, the questions in his mind about the mysterious blue-robed Quasi-Immortal Emperor resurfaced.

He put down his teacup, looked directly at the Immortal King Dipankara, and asked the question that had been lingering in his mind for a long time:
"Fellow Daoist Ran Deng, during the previous battle at the Boundary Sea, the Azure-Robed Emperor who suppressed dozens of dark giants... do you know his background?"

The Immortal King of the Burning Lamp paused slightly as he stroked the lamp flame, a hint of reminiscence and a complex, unfathomable expression flashing in his eyes.

He remained silent for a moment, and the flame of the green lamp seemed to sway gently, reflecting the vicissitudes of time.

"He..."

The voice of the Burning Lamp Immortal King carried a distant sigh.

"If I am not mistaken, the one you are referring to is the one who calls himself 'Nameless' and comes from the 'Great Realm of Xuanhuang'."

"The Xuanhuang Great Realm?" Lu Xuan was unfamiliar with this name.

"That was an ancient realm that no longer exists."

The tone of the Burning Lamp Immortal King was filled with compassion.

"At the end of the Emperor's Fall era, when the dark turmoil was at its most intense, the Xuanhuang Great World was the first to be affected and was completely eroded and devoured by darkness... Hundreds of millions of living beings within the world, along with their glorious civilization, were all turned into resources for darkness. It was a great tragedy for the World Sea."

Lu Xuan was shocked as an entire great world was completely swallowed up.
How tragic this was!
"Then how did he..."

Lu Xuan pressed for an answer.

"According to extremely ancient rumors,"

"Immortal King Burning Lamp continued, his voice low and deep."

"At the final moment when the Xuanhuang Great Realm was about to completely fall and the boundary wall was about to collapse, all the remaining powerful beings in the realm sacrificed their own flesh and souls, burning the last source of the entire realm, and together they tore open a rift of transcendence, sending out the most talented and wonderful child in the entire history of their realm, who carried their last hope and all their resentment... "

"That child is him."

The gaze of the Burning Lamp Immortal King seemed to pierce through time and space, witnessing that tragic scene.

"He carried the legacy and blood feud of the entire Xuanhuang Great World and drifted into the Boundary Sea. No one knows how he spent those years, only that... he reappeared in the world's sight 600,000 years after that great calamity."

"He appeared in a desolate place and has already attained the Dao of Immortal King!"

Even the Immortal King of Burning Lamp couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Six hundred thousand years is such a short time for a Celestial King! Yet, the moment he was born, he was filled with boundless hatred and bloodlust, with a clear objective—to kill only the Dark Celestial King!"

"He was like a vengeful ghost, roaming the Boundary Sea, searching for any Immortal King-level being related to the source of darkness. In the early stages, although he was powerful, the dark forces in the Boundary Sea were deeply entrenched, and he encountered danger many times. The most famous time was in the 'Burial God Starfield,' where he was ambushed and killed by more than twenty Dark Immortal Kings! That battle caused the starfield to collapse and the laws to turn to ashes. Everyone thought that this brilliant but unfortunate avenger was going to perish... After the battle, he did indeed disappear, his aura completely silenced, as if he had been completely obliterated by the darkness."

"The Boundary Sea remained silent for half an era as a result."

The Immortal King Ran Deng paused, took a sip of tea, as if trying to calm the weight of recounting this history.

"Many people have gradually forgotten him, thinking that he was just another fleeting ripple in the conflict between the two sides."

"However..." the voice of the Burning Lamp Immortal King suddenly became solemn, "Just when everyone thought he had already perished, he... reappeared!"
