Chapter 690 Purpose
"Is it Immortal Weng?" Wen Guying asked.

Hong Ling denied it, "It's not him, it's Dai Zong."

"The ancient immortal Dai Zong?" Wen Guying asked Hong Ling for confirmation.

"It's him." Hong Ling said with certainty.

"Please continue, Immortal." Wen Guying said.

"You don't seem too surprised?" Hong Ling asked.

Wen Guying shook his head slightly and asked, "If even the ancient immortal Tian Su could fall, what else can't happen?"

The spiritual energy of Hong Ling seemed to condense.

Wen Guying noticed it, and asked, "Does the True Immortal not know about Tian Su's fall?"

"I have some guesses, but I didn't expect that he would really do such a thing." Hong Ling sighed, "Let me continue. Dai Zong sensed my location, and he came to me, hoping that I would stand on his side in the coming catastrophe. He believed that in this catastrophe, at least half of the ten people of the Three Ancients and Seven True Ones would perish. He and I are not human. He believed that this catastrophe is our chance."

"One is an ancient immortal, the other is a true immortal, both are close to being invincible and eternal. What are you fighting for?" Wen Guying asked.

Hong Ling replied, "The difference between ancient immortals, true immortals and ordinary immortals is that we have occupied a part of the authority of the Heavenly Dao, just like Haotian's Heavenly Court and Song Fengzi's Samsara Dao... They are managing the world on behalf of the Heavenly Dao and have also established many rules for the Heavenly Dao in the human world. The Heavenly Dao is eternal and always changing. The Three Ancients and Seven True Immortals seem to be infinitely close to the Heavenly Dao, but as the world changes, they will also be replaced and abandoned."

She said: "Tiansu, Guihong, Haotian, Qingzi, Jiufeng and Songfengzi, the five of them all want the way of heaven to always favor humans. The others don't think so."

When reviewing the past, we should ask: “What did they think?”

Hong Ling replied: "Dai Zong wants the demon race to prosper again. Luo Yao doesn't care about these things. Weng Xian... he always makes a lot of trouble, but before that, I didn't know that he actually had the ambition to replace the way of heaven with his own way."

She continued, "I rejected Dai Zong and planned to move to another place to continue my retreat. Just as I was leaving, Weng Xian attacked me, and Dai Zong, who I thought had left, also showed up. My injuries had not yet healed, and I was no match for them. After realizing this, I attached a little of my divine consciousness to the magic weapon and ordered them to hide."

Hong Ling said: "I am that divine thought."

"What about the other ancient immortals and true immortals? Didn't they notice it?" Wen Guying asked.

"No. The place where I was in seclusion was very secret. After Immortal Weng accepted my path, he began to pretend to be me. However... I can feel that he did not completely accept my path. In fact, because of this, his power at the moment has been greatly reduced." Hong Ling replied.

"Then can you still regain your path and ascend to the immortal throne?" Wen Guying asked.

"I am the Immortal Yingfeng." Hong Ling said calmly, "I have been hiding for about three hundred years. One day, I felt that an immortal had descended to the mortal world, so I followed him. I have been in many places in the mortal world and have become a magic weapon for many cultivators... Finally, a little demon picked me up. She cherished me very much, but she was too weak... I saved her several times, and she wanted to repay me, so I asked her to take me to the vicinity of Luoxia Secret Realm. She agreed, and took me to hide from place to place, and walked for a long, long time before finally getting here. After that, I hid here and slowly recovered my strength."

"How is Feng's mood?" Wen Guying asked.

"How is she now?" Hong Ling asked. "Dead," Wen Guying replied.

"How did he die?" Hong Ling asked.

"For her two friends." Wen Guying said.

"I understand." said Hong Ling.

"She is very accomplished in the field of space. The reason I can hide in the cracks of space without being noticed by the evil spirits is because of some inspiration I got from a discussion with her." Wen Guying said.

"I know. But someone as loyal as her is destined not to go far." Hong Ling said sadly: "She doesn't know my identity, she just thinks I'm a weapon spirit born in Luoxia Secret Realm. I made an appointment with her that when her cultivation level is higher, she will come over, and then I will give her a magic weapon that is more suitable for her."

"After a long time, about five or six hundred years, I felt 'me'." Hong Ling spoke faster, "At first, I thought Dai Zong and Weng Xian had noticed me, but it wasn't me. After exploring the secret realm and confirming that I could control it, I left. I understood that they wanted to use the secret realm to do something. So I lay dormant in silence."

"Didn't you want to go find Tiansu?" Wen Guying asked.

"Tian Su didn't arrive, nor did he come to find me, which explains a lot." Hong Ling paused for a moment and said, "When I was wandering in the mortal world, I heard the legend of the hero, and I knew that something must have happened to him." Hong Ling fluttered, "Finally, half a year ago, my power and another strange power appeared. Driven by that strange power, the secret realm gradually emerged from the void. So I made some moves to let more people feel that the Luoxia Secret Realm is about to be born."

She said: "So they also sensed my existence. But fortunately, they did not realize who I was, but thought it was the spirit of the secret realm who was rebelling."

"Where is the spirit of the secret realm?" Wen Guying asked.

"He ascended to heaven ten thousand years ago." said Hong Ling.

"This..." Wen Guying was speechless for a moment.

The red spirit fluttered, and seemed to be in a very happy mood. She asked back: "Humans can ascend, demons can ascend, why can't weapon spirits ascend?"

"Since ten thousand years ago, Luoxia Secret Realm has been an ownerless secret realm." Her voice suddenly lowered again, "An ownerless secret realm waiting for a new master."

"I know what they want to do." said Hong Ling.

"Under the Nine Seas, there is an undiscovered spiritual vein. He is using my power to drive the Luoxia Secret Realm to stimulate the power of that spiritual vein. At the same time, he projects the Taisu Realm downwards. His purpose is not to use the Taisu Realm to completely control the secret realm, but to use the Luoxia Secret Realm to project the Taisu Realm into the mortal world. After that, I will use my last spell to transform time and space."

When Wen Guying was about to ask again, Hong Ling said in a deep voice: "You must remember the most important point. Thirty thousand years ago, I was in harmony with the Heavenly Dao and caught a glimpse of that beam of light. After that, my Dao heart was broken. And Weng Xian... he has not yet fully accepted my Dao path. Do you remember it clearly?"

"But I don't have much strength left, and my body is torn into pieces. I can't lift the sword anymore." Wen Guying said.

"This is Luoxia Secret Realm, and I am Yingfeng Immortal." Hong Ling said softly: "In countless time and space, there is always a you who can still hold a sword."
