I Fabricated the Techniques, but My Disciple Really Mastered Them?

At the end, the Azure Sea Turtle gave a self-deprecating smile.

The great battle of the past still held many mysteries: how did Taicang fall? Exactly how strong was that one in the Imperishable Temple? Given that they killed Taicang, why didn’t they devour the Taicang Domain?

And if the Taicang Domain survived until now, could it be that the entity from the Imperishable Temple suffered serious damage and could no longer act against the Taicang Domain?

If that were the case, then the strength of that one in the Imperishable Temple might not have been much greater than Taicang’s.

But only those who participated in the final battle back then would know the truth, and even Taihe and Taikun didn’t know exactly what happened, as they were on the periphery of the battle’s core.

Everyone else had fallen.

“What’s the deal with the Netherworld? Wasn’t it said that as Master of Domain, he couldn’t side with the Imperishable Temple? How did he manage to align with the Imperishable Temple without being devoured?”

Xu Yan asked, puzzled.

According to the Azure Sea Turtle, creatures of the domain, especially the Master of Domain, could not side with the Imperishable Temple due to irreconcilable conflicts between them.

Yet the Netherworld became a member of the Imperishable Temple, appeared, devoured the Netherworld Domain he created, and left with five Blood Lords.

“The Netherworld…”

The Azure Sea Turtle pondered, “Among the Seven Great Domain Masters, the Netherworld was rather bloodthirsty. As you know, the people of the Netherworld practiced the Blood Path, once devouring Martial Artist blood for cultivation. According to rumors, the Netherworld was born with Spiritual Wisdom by devouring True Spirit Blood, using it to strengthen itself, and cultivated using blood.

“The Netherworld Blood Sea was formed from countless True Spirit Blood. He opened the Netherworld Domain, slaughtering countless Imperishable True Spirits. The reason he could be accepted by the Imperishable Temple might be linked to his cultivation methods involving blood devouring.

“The specifics are unknown, but the Netherworld was known for his defiance. He was suppressed by Taicang for a while but never submitted, making his alignment with the Imperishable Temple quite unexpected.”

The Azure Sea Turtle sighed.

“Do you think it’s possible that Taicang’s fall was due to the Netherworld’s betrayal?”

Fang Hao speculated thoughtfully.

Of the Six Great Domain Masters, it could only be confirmed that the Netherworld was alive, and moreover, had sided with the Imperishable Temple, leaving room for betrayal in the battle, suddenly attacking Taicang. ⱤâꞐộBÊꞩ

Additionally, Taicang had suppressed the Netherworld before, leaving some enmity between them, making it plausible for the Netherworld to stab Taicang in the back.

“I don’t know!”

The Azure Sea Turtle shook its head.

“I once heard Old Man Hong Ze say that the Netherworld was unyielding and straightforward, never hiding his likes or dislikes towards others, nor concealing his hatred. He was suppressed by Taicang, yet showed no resentment, understanding the reason behind it.

“Of course, this doesn’t necessarily mean the Netherworld wouldn’t betray, but it is hard to believe.”

The four people and one turtle ventured through the vast Chaos.

Looking back toward the Great Wilderness Domain, they only saw a small, magnificent Treasure Bead within the Chaos.

Until the Great Wilderness Domain vanished from sight, Xu Yan and the others felt exhilarated, looking forward to the endless expanse of the Land of Chaotic Imperishable.

The ancient cosmic battle, the mystery surrounding Taicang’s fall, was a long-lost history, and their curiosity about it held no grief or regret, as they were not the first-hand witnesses.

“Old Turtle, where is the Hong Ze Domain, and how much further?”

A desolate domain, once one of the Seven Great Domains, still piqued Xu Yan and the others’ curiosity.

“After such a long time, the Hong Ze Domain has long ceased to be in its original place, but it should generally be in that direction. If we continue exploring, we should be able to find it.”

The Azure Sea Turtle explained, “In the Land of Imperishable, domains do not remain stationary; they are influenced by the explosive Spiritual Energy and Imperishable Qi, causing slow movement, albeit very slow, but not completely stationary.

“A domain that lost its Dao Principles becomes dead and moves even faster, though it won’t stray far off course. As long as you know its general direction, it’s still easy to find.”

Xu Yan and the others nodded, not impatient, knowing that their entry into the Land of Imperishable wasn’t just for the Hong Ze Domain.

The boundless Land of Imperishable held many unknowns and many places worth exploring.

“Hey, why does that mountain look so peculiar? Could it be a True Spirit?”

Fang Hao spoke with surprise.

In the view ahead, a mountain appeared, shaped like some kind of beast lying down.

“In the Land of Imperishable, mountains are formed from the dead True Spirits, and depending on the mountain’s strength and size, one can determine the strength of the True Spirit during its lifetime.”

The Azure Sea Turtle explained, “The stronger the True Spirit, the more it is shaped into a mountain upon death by the Imperishable Qi, rather than decaying.

“Generally, mountains are the territory of a True Spirit, and if it’s a range, it indicates it is the domain of a strong True Spirit clan.

“That mountain is quite ancient with no True Spirit aura, suggesting either a solitary True Spirit died here, or its clan was wiped out or migrated.”

“I see!”

Xu Yan and the others understood.

“Let’s go, see if we can find anything useful in the mountain.”

Fang Hao said excitedly.

The Azure Sea Turtle had no objections and carried the four to the mountain.

“Judging by the scale and strength of this mountain, the True Spirit during its lifetime should have had the strength of a Minor Domain Master level, not weak at all.”

The Azure Sea Turtle observed the mountain.

“How do you determine the True Spirit’s past strength?”

Xu Yan asked curiously.

“It’s simple: look at the size of the mountain, its strength, and whether other things have grown on it…”

The Azure Sea Turtle patted the mountain, producing a dull sound, and explained.

“Generally, mountains in the Land of Imperishable are hollow inside. Of course, non-hollow mountains exist but are rare. If evading True Spirit pursuit, one can hide in the mountains by concealing their aura.

“However, the True Spirits in the Land of Imperishable lack much Spiritual Wisdom and will soon leave if they sense no aura, without entering the mountain to search.

“Nevertheless, if chased by the powerhouses of the Imperishable Temple, caution is needed, as they also know mountains serve as hideouts. To rely on a mountain for hiding, you have to choose the right one.

“Also, mountains may house some True Spirit nests; entering haphazardly risks attack. The Land of Imperishable contains every kind of True Spirit, some with special abilities.

“No one knows exactly how many kinds of True Spirits exist in the Land of Imperishable, even the Seven Great Domain Masters compiled a list of Imperishable True Spirits, confessing that it probably records less than one percent…”

The Azure Sea Turtle, being once a True Spirit of the Land of Imperishable, wandering there for countless ages, naturally understood it deeply.

Those like Old Man Xiao, the Realm Masters, understood far less about the Land of Imperishable compared to the Azure Sea Turtle.

Xu Yan and the others listened intently, knowing this was invaluable experience for traversing the Land of Imperishable.

“This mountain doesn’t have any True Spirits; to identify if there are creatures inside a mountain, one can discern from traces. True Spirits generally leave waste, though some prefer hiding and leave no trace, so caution is needed.

“Of course, the entrance to the mountain might be concealed or blatantly visible. By examining the entrance, you can usually ascertain if it’s a True Spirit’s nest.

“Except for some extremely special True Spirits, without visible traces, just a sweep with Divine Soul Force will reveal them, as these Imperishable True Spirits almost have no Spiritual Wisdom, and will expose themselves once they sense it…”

The Azure Sea Turtle imparted its knowledge to Xu Yan and the others.

Fang Hao also inspected the mountain, searching for usable materials. This trip into the Land of Imperishable aimed to collect some materials absent from the realms.

The four and the turtle entered the mountain’s interior, where Fang Hao spotted a faintly red large stone and couldn’t help but show joy.

“This is good, an excellent material for Artifact Refining.”

Fang Hao said, waving to collect the stone, “Purified, it should be enough to refine a Divine Artifact with blistering force.”

This stone was clearly transformed from the heart of a True Spirit.
