The Most Generous Master Ever

"Impossible. How can Senior be Celestial Thearch Zhen Wu?"

For a moment, Ye Qiu fell into deep disbelief. He couldn't believe that the lonely man who once stood in the forbidden cage was actually the once majestic Celestial Thearch Zhen Wu.

Meng Tianzheng smiled faintly at the terrified Ye Qiu.

"During the Immortal Ancient era, a human youth walked out of the Great Desolate and left a heavy mark in the long river of history. He entered the Dao with martial arts and took the name of Zhen Wu!

"It was he who founded the Immortal River and established the foundation of our human race. It was also because of him that we gradually led an era, allowing more and more people to appear on this exciting historical stage.

"He is a legend and also the most tragic Celestial Thearch!

"He barged through seven uninhabited forbidden areas to explore the mysteries of longevity, but he was attacked in an ominous manner. He died at the beginning of the Immortal Ancient chaos and disappeared."

At this point, there was only reverence in Meng Tianzheng's eyes. Then, he looked at Ye Qiu and said, "I feel a trace of his aura from you. That ferocious aura that has been sealed for countless years. That is his unique Dao. It is the Dao that he has been searching for his entire life.

"Child… I don't know what he passed on to you, but I know that he must have his reasons for choosing you. I can't see through the karma in this. Perhaps my cultivation is still shallow and not enough to pry into the profundities."

Hearing this, Ye Qiu fell silent. Perhaps… the Celestial Thearch Zhen Wu chose him because he had no choice? He had been trapped in the forbidden area for so long. He passed a day like a year. No one could reach him alive.

He had no choice. Only Ye Qiu could enter there, so he chose Ye Qiu.

Of course, there was another possibility. Perhaps he had deduced the future and seen the tip of the iceberg. He had decided on Ye Qiu, so he chose him.

Then why did he think it was Ye Qiu?

Ye Qiu suddenly remembered that the drop of divine blood back then was a drop of divine blood from the Immortal Ancient, a drop of blood left behind by a mysterious expert. Back then, when he absorbed this drop of divine blood, he vaguely felt a familiar familiarity. Could it be that… his ancestors had once been glorious?

That was why he felt this intimate. It was more like the inheritance of a bloodline.

Ye Qiu was even more confused. Where did he come from and where should he go? His memories of the first half of his life were only fixed on the moment Daoist Xuantian brought him back to Violet Cloud Peak.

Ye Qiu didn't remember anything that happened before that. He didn't even know where he came from, where he was born, or where he lived.

His mind was in chaos. Ye Qiu looked at Meng Tianzheng blankly. He definitely knew something.

Then, he asked, "First Elder, please explain."

Meng Tianzheng knew what he was thinking and what he was puzzled about.

Ye Qiu was anxious to know the answer, but Meng Tianzheng only shook his head and didn't choose to answer.

He only said, "Nothing in the world can escape the process of a cycle. It's karma and fate. I know your doubts and confusion, but I have to tell you that there are some things you can't touch yet. Do you understand what I mean?"

Outside Star Picking Pavilion, waves of thunder occasionally sounded. It seemed to be a warning from the world, an existence that even Meng Tianzheng had to fear.

Ye Qiu took a deep breath. He understood that in the end, he was still too weak and couldn't come into contact with that level.

Then, Ye Qiu said, "First Elder, do you know about the Longevity Calamity?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Meng Tianzheng's pupils constricted. No one knew better than him what the Longevity Calamity was.

Because he was the survivor of that calamity.

Meng Tianzheng took a deep breath and said, "Child, let me tell you a story."

Ye Qiu didn't answer. He just listened attentively.

"When the world was in chaos, the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands had yet to be born. At that time, the world was more like a plateau. It was barren, dead, and dim.

"In a cycle, the world gave birth to the first batch of living beings. They revived from the darkness and gradually developed intelligence. After a hundred cycles of reincarnation and continuous evolution, these living beings gradually became stronger. As they became stronger, the desire in their hearts became stronger.

"They have experienced all kinds of life and death and understand that the end of life will eventually lead to death. As they watched the people closest to them leave one by one, the years passed and the times changed. As the sorrow ended, unwillingness was gradually born.

"Therefore, a thought grew in the depths of their hearts. Can life last forever?

"The moment this thought appeared, the chaos in the world seemed to have been cut open by a pair of big hands.

"Some people discovered that living beings who woke up from the chaos were born with their own inheritances. The laws of heaven and earth were engraved in their bone texts. They were compatible with each other and were not affected. If they want to explore the end of the law, they have to constantly become stronger and plunder.

"Therefore, the calamity of the myriad races erupted. That great calamity established the status of the Ten Fiends and confirmed their innate supreme status. From then on, the Ten Fiends established the Immortal realm, which was also the original Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.

"Later on, as they became stronger, this world could no longer withstand their existence. This is a death tribulation. Once they exceed this boundary, they will be killed by the world. In order to break this death tribulation, they began to search for a wider world and explore the mysteries of longevity.

"At this point, the golden age of Immortal Ancient has begun!

"In the tens of thousands of years of exploration, the Ten Fiends left the Immortal Realm one after another. In the subsequent era, more and more young and handsome races began to step onto the stage to display their talent.

"Under the protection of the Ten Fiends, it was relatively stable. However, one day…"

At this point, Meng Tianzheng's eyes became terrified and uneasy.

Ye Qiu knew that this might be the source of the Immortal Ancient's destruction.

Meng Tianzheng said with an incomparably solemn tone, "One day, a forerunner discovered a mysterious expert who had fallen on that uninhabited plateau. That was an incomparably terrifying existence, but no one knows why he died. When he died, a drop of dark blood flowed out of his body."

At this point, Meng Tianzheng's expression flickered as if he had been attacked. He spat out a mouthful of blood. He didn't continue. Even though Ye Qiu didn't hear everything, he seemed to have vaguely guessed the truth.

It turned out that all the so-called chaos was caused by a drop of blood from the mysterious expert on the plateau. It was he who broke the balance of the world and caused the Immortal Realm to enter an unreasonable darkness.
