Chapter 545

"The secret to you becoming an immortal?" Luo Tian was stunned.

"Yes, I am indeed not an immortal of the mortal world. I only became an immortal after being infused with immortal energy..." In order to survive, the Thunder Dharma King had no choice but to reveal his secret.

"An immortal of the mortal world?" Luo Tian had not heard the previous words of the Green-Shirted Ancestor, so he was completely confused.

Beside him, Shen Liangzhou immediately walked over and explained it to Luo Tian once.

After listening, Luo Tian nodded slightly and said, "So that's how it is."

Seeing this, the Thunder Dharma King immediately said, "As long as you spare me, I will tell you the source of that immortal energy!"

Hearing this, the three City Lords were all somewhat tempted.

One must know that they had been stuck at the Heavenly Gate Realm for a long time.

And according to their experience, they had no hope of evolving and becoming immortals of the mortal world in this lifetime.

If they did not want to ascend, then finding a way to be infused with immortal energy was not a bad method.

However, the power to decide this ultimately still rested in Luo Tian's hands.

Luo Tian narrowed his eyes and said, "Tell me about it first."

The Thunder Dharma King said tremblingly, "If I tell you, will you spare me?"

Luo Tian smiled and said, "That depends on my mood."

For a moment, the Thunder Dharma King kept his mouth shut.

Without getting a promise from Luo Tian, he did not want to speak.

However, seeing this, Luo Tian narrowed his eyes and said, "Not talking? Then I'll just search your soul directly; the result will be the same."

As he said this, he prepared to take action.

Although the Thunder Dharma King had already become an immortal and was also a master of soul power, the process of extracting a soul bead would certainly not be smooth.

But that was still better than being threatened by the other party.

Seeing that Luo Tian was truly prepared to take action, the Thunder Dharma King was finally afraid.

"Wait a moment, I'll tell you..." The Thunder Dharma King did not want to die, so although he knew Luo Tian might kill him, he still wanted to take a gamble.

"My immortal energy came from a finger bone..." the Thunder Dharma King said.

"A finger bone?" Everyone was stunned.

The Thunder Dharma King continued, "That's right, an ice-sealed finger bone that contains a massive amount of immortal energy! Because of an accident, I found this thing, and then I found a way to absorb the immortal energy from within to perform the infusion!"

Sima Tianchen frowned and said, "But how much immortal energy can a single finger bone have? After you became an immortal, it must have been completely consumed, right?"

The Thunder Dharma King shook his head repeatedly and said, "No! The immortal energy in that finger bone is as vast as the sea, seemingly infinite! The immortal energy I used to become an immortal was not even one ten-thousandth of what is inside."

"What?"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

A Thunder Dharma King who had become an immortal was already strong enough to have nearly destroyed the entire Northern Region Divine City.

Yet his immortal energy was only one ten-thousandth of that finger bone!

Then just how much immortal energy was in this finger bone?

More importantly, just how strong was the owner of this finger bone?

Luo Tian listened from the side, his brows tightly furrowed.

"A finger bone... how is it so similar to what Ye Tongling and the others said? Could it be the finger bone of a Fallen Immortal as well?" Luo Tian muttered to himself.

The Green-Shirted Ancestor beside him suddenly spoke up, "A Fallen Immortal? Little Friend Luo Tian, what do you know?"

Hearing this, Luo Tian gave a rough account of the situation regarding Ye Tongling and the others.

After listening, the Green-Shirted Ancestor's eyes widened.

"This... that thing has appeared again?" he said in shock.

Looking at his expression, Luo Tian knew he understood something, so he immediately asked, "Senior, do you know about that Fallen Immortal?"

The Green-Shirted Ancestor hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, I haven't seen it either! I've only heard some rumors."

"I would like to hear the details!" Luo Tian asked.

He also wanted to resolve the hidden dangers within Ye Tongling and the others as soon as possible.

The Green-Shirted Ancestor sighed, "Actually, I'm not very clear about the origin of this Fallen Immortal either! I only saw writings left behind by people from before the Ancient Era when I was exploring an ancient ruin!"

"According to the records in the writings, during the Ancient Era, our realm once encountered a great destruction! Several immortals of the mortal world fell because of it, and many powerful holy lands and sects lost their heritage, which is why we don't even know what happened in the Ancient Era now."

"And the source of this matter seems to stem from that finger bone and that Fallen Immortal."

Hearing this, Luo Tian was immediately astonished.

"This finger bone actually comes from before the Ancient Era?" According to the previous deductions of Ye Tongling and the others, Luo Tian had originally thought that the Fallen Immortal had only descended from the Upper Realm at that time.

However, after hearing the Green-Shirted Ancestor's words, Luo Tian realized that things were not that simple.

The Green-Shirted Ancestor said with a solemn face, "After I came out of that ruin, I once explored the matter of this Fallen Immortal and the finger bone, but I had no leads for many years! I never expected that in the years after my death, this thing would appear in the world again."

"Luo Tian, this might not be a coincidence! In this era, it is very likely that a catastrophe even more terrifying than the Nine Extinction Tribulation is about to happen!"

"It's just a pity... I can no longer help you with anything."

After finishing, he sighed mournfully.

He was already just a wisp of a remnant soul, and he had been severely injured on top of that.

Now, he was about to completely vanish into thin air very soon.

Luo Tian glanced at him, then said to the Thunder Dharma King, "Where is your finger bone?"

The Thunder Dharma King said, "That finger bone..."

Who would have thought that just as he was about to continue, his remnant soul suddenly began to decay.

"Ah, Luo Tian... you went back on your word, what are you doing?" the Thunder Dharma King roared.

Luo Tian was also stunned; he hadn't done anything at all.

However, the speed of the decay was extremely fast. In just the time it takes to draw a breath, the Thunder Dharma King's remnant soul was burned to nothingness, leaving nothing behind.

"This..." Luo Tian was stunned, and then immediately became angry.

"What kind of thing dares to snatch my prey?" However, no matter how he searched with his soul power, he could not find any traces.

The Green-Shirted Ancestor on the side saw this and narrowed his eyes, saying, "No need to look, this should be a type of curse..."

"A curse?" Luo Tian was stunned.

The Green-Shirted Ancestor nodded and said, "It should still be related to that finger bone..."

Luo Tian's brows were tightly furrowed.

"A finger bone, it's that finger bone again... could it really be that Fallen Immortal? What exactly is his background? I must find an opportunity to figure it out!" Luo Tian silently made up his mind in his heart.

On the other side, the Green-Shirted Ancestor suddenly spoke up, "Everyone, my time is running out, there are a few things I must instruct you on."

Hearing this, everyone looked at him and listened quietly.

They all knew that what he was saying at this moment must be important matters.

The Green-Shirted Ancestor looked at Luo Tian and said, "Little Friend Luo Tian, the first thing is, I must warn you: although you have not yet become an immortal, you already possess the strength of an immortal! I believe this matter will spread very quickly, and by then... you will inevitably attract the attention of other immortals of the mortal world! This might cause you some trouble."
