The Golden Crow Burns the Sky

Chapter 135: Reason for retirement, related to darkness?

The performance of the Immortal Bell is the first reaction of almost all the strong people in the universe after learning about this matter. It is not surprising.

Therefore, Xuan Hui remained extremely calm, not caring too much about Xian Zhong's shock and anger, and just continued speaking.

"With the current level of cultivation of the Emperor, there is probably no longer anything in this world that he dares not do."

"Even someone as powerful as the Immortal Emperor was forced by the Emperor to retreat into the dark and achieve Nirvana several times just to become an immortal as soon as possible, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the gods of the Immortal Bell took a deep breath, and the shock in their hearts was simply beyond words.

But if you think about it carefully, this actually makes sense!
To put it bluntly, according to common sense, there is no need for a strong man like the Immortal Emperor to hide in the dark. Before he achieved enlightenment, he was comparable to the Ancient Lords. After he achieved enlightenment, he was even more comparable to the Emperor as the God of All Races, the Supreme Emperor!
If he hadn't sensed some potential threat, why would he have to hide away from the world?
As for the Immortal Emperor, is he hiding on his own initiative just to act as the mastermind and hunt for the blood of enlightenment?

Such a reason is even more untenable!
Considering that the Immortal Emperor is in no way inferior to the Emperor in terms of strength, if he really wants to hunt down an enlightened person, as long as he is a little more cautious than the Emperor and has a good grasp of the restricted area, would he still be afraid of being overthrown by a group of latecomers?

Even if he kills his way through and seizes the true blood of the Eternal Emperor and the King, who can stop him?
After the myth, there is no such person in the world!

However, if there is an unparalleled enemy hiding in the shadows, the choice made by the Immortal Emperor afterwards makes sense.

It was precisely because of the threat from the Emperor that the Immortal Emperor had to retreat from the world and choose the almost quick path of bloody nirvana.

Otherwise, with such talent and ability that the Emperor could regard him as a successor, why would he be so determined to embark on a path with such obvious flaws and shortcomings?
Even if he couldn't achieve nirvana in blood, this person's talent and accumulation were definitely enough to support him in becoming an immortal in the mortal world, and there was no need for him to take such an unconventional approach.

For a moment, Lingbao Tianzun and Xianzhong, who had figured out the situation, were silent. They vaguely felt the terrifying power of the Emperor, and that sense of deterrence was far greater than that of the Immortal Emperor!
Lingbao Tianzun couldn't help but talk to himself.

"Is the Emperor really that terrifying?"

"good."

Xuan Hui responded to him and then said.

"This time when I went into Primal Chaos, I actually gained something extra, which is related to the Emperor."

"Now that both of you are here, you might as well listen."

After saying that, Xuan Hui recounted what he had gained during his trip to Chaos, including the otherworldly formation with supreme devouring power, the many traces of the Emperor's intervention, and the final battle between Xuan Hui and the Emperor's afterimage.

After explaining the cause and effect of all this, Xuan Hui said again.

“However, I have a feeling that the person who fought with me that day was not the real Emperor’s afterimage.”

"At the very least, that afterimage is by no means complete. It's missing a lot of things."

Xuan Hui's narration, which contained a huge amount of information, made Lingbao Tianzun and Xianzhong ponder again.

Normally, no matter it is a strange formation, an alien system or the afterimage of the emperor, the appearance of any one of them is enough to shock everyone.

But now, these things actually appeared in a cluster, and in the deepest and extremely mysterious infinite chaos. This made the two of them think about many things and have many doubts in their hearts.

If there are too many coincidences, then they are no coincidence at all.

"The Emperor is definitely not someone from another world. So, could it be that this person has obtained some inheritance from another world, or obtained that kind of system?"

"Perhaps it has something to do with the path to becoming an immortal?"

Soon, Lingbao Tianzun and Xianzhong began to speculate, and they talked back and forth, proposing many hypotheses and possibilities, but then they overturned them one by one. In fact, this matter was too complicated and confusing, and even the prehistoric immortal weapon and the mythical ancient Tianzun did not dare to draw conclusions lightly.

Xuan Hui certainly had his own guesses, and they were all different from those of Lingbao Tianzun and Xianzhong, but he was not in a hurry to express his thoughts.

Xuan Hui spoke only when Lingbao Tianzun and Xianzhong's speculations had almost reached a bottleneck and it was difficult to come up with new clues.

"Xian Zhong, you come from prehistoric times and are one of the two most ancient immortal artifacts in the world. You must know a lot of old stories."

"Darkness, you should have heard of it, right?"

Hearing this, Lingbao Tianzun was still a little puzzled, but the expression of the Immortal Bell God suddenly became solemn. He certainly knew the so-called "darkness". It was the most terrifying original substance in the world, a demonic and corrupt force, and had been the mortal enemy of the immortal way since ancient times.

"Fellow Daoist, you also know about darkness? This is the great enemy of all living things in the world. In the past, Emperor Huang Tian left to quell the source of darkness."

"I thought there should be no news of darkness in this world..."

Having said that, Xian Zhong suddenly reacted and looked at Xuan Hui with a tone of disbelief.

"Fellow Daoist, what you mean is that the Emperor is related to darkness and is contaminated by that substance?!"

Xian Zhong was a little surprised, but after some thought, he felt that Xuan Hui's statement might not be unreasonable.

After all, the power of darkness not only leads to human depravity, but also allows those infected to give birth to a new dark soul, creating another "me" within the body.

The Emperor's temperament has changed drastically, and he has repeatedly acted ruthlessly against the mortal world. This is quite consistent with Xian Zhong's understanding of the power of darkness, which makes him begin to doubt this possibility.

"But, that's not right, right?"

"Emperor Huang Tian has been arbitrary and decisive for eternity. With his supreme power, there should be no darkness in this world, right?"

This time, the Immortal Bell, who had experienced a slap in the face, was unusually hesitant - the realm of the Immortal Emperor had long been beyond the understanding of the Immortal Bell, so for many things about Shi Hao, the Immortal Bell did not dare to be sure, and could only make some simple guesses.

Xuan Hui remained noncommittal about this. It was true that Shi Hao had been the sole dictator for eternity, but could we really say that he had isolated the source of darkness and cleared away all the potential strange forces in the mortal universe?
That’s not necessarily the case!

Apart from anything else, the Corpse Immortal Emperor was awakened by Shi Hao himself, and the fact that the dark side of this ancient Immortal Emperor could remain in the mortal world was obviously with Shi Hao's tacit consent.

Apart from anything else, the Dark Immortal Emperor alone can be regarded as the greatest source of darkness in the world. If he can reach the plateau, he can become one of the weird giants!

Based on this, Xuan Hui would never think that the mortal universe has been completely isolated from the strange clan. Even with the sword of the immortal emperor who is in power for eternity, people like them cannot sit back and relax.

Of course, Xuan Hui couldn't tell all this directly to the immortal bell, let alone say that Emperor Huang Tian was just an unreliable brat. There was even a rumor in a certain world line that he "drank beast milk and became stupid", and the reputation of "Wolong" spread throughout the world.

After pondering for a moment, Xuan Hui just said.

"Emperor Huang Tian has his own plans, but he may not be able to plan everything out, and there will always be times when he runs out of power."

"As latecomers, we cannot just rely on our predecessors. The right thing to do is to catch up."

"As for Emperor Zun, I do think that his transformation is related to darkness, which can also correspond to some details I have seen."
