Chapter 419: If Future Generations Attain Immortality Through Fortune, They May Use This Tablet to Seek the Truth

The Jiuzhou Di Yi Xian did not deny it:

"Based on ancient texts, I traveled in the direction recorded as taken by the three Immortals, following it beyond the world into the void, where I found a stone tablet."

Crossing the void is an Immortal's ability, but merely entering the void and staying there briefly is within the reach of a Divine Being at Step Six.

The Jiuzhou Di Yi Xian had entered the void and examined the void near the edge of the world, making a discovery.

"The tablet bore a single inscription: 【If future generations attain Immortality through fortune, they may use this tablet to seek the truth.】"

"I knew it was left by the three Immortals because the final signature on the tablet read: 'Tiancang, Minghong, Guxi left.'"

"Did the elder retrieve that tablet?" Xiang Hong wondered if he could see it.

The Jiuzhou Di Yi Xian shook his head: "No. That tablet was clearly left by the three Immortals for future Immortals. I have not reached Immortality and dare not disrupt this karmic bond."

At that moment.

The Tianxie Sword Immortal looked at the Jiuzhou Di Yi Xian: "Immortal, do you suspect the three Immortals once came to this world? They crossed the void to reach somewhere—perhaps merely passing through, or perhaps coming here specifically."

The Jiuzhou Di Yi Xian nodded silently, stroking his long beard:

"If not for the Group Master sending us here, I would not have known this world existed. It should be far from my realm, yet Tiancang Immortal's presence appeared here—there must be some connection."

"Elders, quick, look—the light cluster has changed again."

Xiang Hong pointed at the dark-glowing light cluster.

During the conversation about Tiancang Immortal, the dark-glowing light cluster changed once more.

The light cluster shifted without any temporal pattern—sometimes changing again mere seconds after the last shift, sometimes taking a full minute before shifting again.

This time, it was not a person, but a tombstone.

Carved upon it were characters unlike any script from the Initial Realm; Xiang Hong could not read them.

"These are ancient characters from my world," the Tianxie Sword Immortal recognized them at a glance, fixing his gaze: "This is!"

"Sword Immortal elder, these are characters from your world?"

Xiang Hong grew even more convinced of the dark-glowing light cluster's mystery—it depicted figures and objects from more than just the Initial Realm; the unfamiliar ones before might not even belong to this world, but could originate from others.

It would have been better if Lord Tianhong were here.

With him, we could identify whether these shifting figures and objects belonged to their respective worlds.

The Tianxie Sword Immortal nodded and read the inscription: "Tomb of Wan Cheng Immortal."

The Jiuzhou Di Yi Xian and Xiang Hong were stunned.

This transformation was an Immortal's tomb? Wait—an Immortal's tomb? Does that mean Immortals can die?

The Tianxie Sword Immortal saw their thoughts and spoke plainly:

"Wan Cheng Immortal truly died—he is the only Immortal whose death has been confirmed."

Hm?

Upon hearing the latter half of the Tianxie Sword Immortal's words, Xiang Hong and the other wondered: "Only one Immortal whose death has been confirmed"? Does that mean the deaths of other Immortals cannot be verified?

That doesn't make sense.

Why would anyone need to verify the death of other Immortals? Can't Immortals simply still be alive? Or isn't it nearly impossible for Immortals to die? Why assume they're dead at all?

"Actually, Immortal, before you saw the Immortals from your world, I encountered one from mine—not Wan Cheng Immortal, but another: Wan De Immortal."

"But that transformation happened too fast—just a second—and I couldn't examine it closely, so I couldn't be certain. Now, I can confirm: it was indeed another Immortal from my realm, Wan De Immortal."

The Tianxie Sword Immortal glanced at the dark-glowing light cluster now transformed into a tombstone, and said calmly:

"You must be wondering why I say Wan Cheng Immortal is the only Immortal whose death has been confirmed—what happened to the others?"

"The Immortals of my realm, like those of your world, have all vanished without a trace—as if evaporated into thin air. To this day, none have been found."

The Jiuzhou Di Yi Xian's expression froze slightly.

Just like the Immortals in my world…

Instantly, he faintly understood the meaning behind the Tianxie Sword Immortal's latter words.

The Tianxie Sword Immortal continued:

"When you mentioned the disappearance of Immortals in your world, I already suspected the figure I saw earlier—Wan De Immortal—was real, because Wan De Immortal vanished along with all other Immortals in my realm, with no word since."

In fact, Wan Cheng Immortal also vanished once.

But after vanishing, Wan Cheng Immortal returned—mortally wounded, barely alive—and soon after died from his injuries.

The reason for Wan De Immortal's disappearance and that of the others remains unknown.

But Wan Cheng Immortal revealed the reason for his own disappearance before he died…"

Before the Tianxie Sword Immortal could speak, the Jiuzhou Di Yi Xian, observing his expression, guessed:

"To carry out some important task?"

Immediately, before Xiang Hong's widened eyes, the Tianxie Sword Immortal nodded in agreement with the Jiuzhou Di Yi Xian's guess.

Xiang Hong's expression turned peculiar.

The Immortals of the Jiuzhou Di Yi Xian's world departed into the void to carry out an important task; the Immortals of the Tianxie Sword Immortal's world also left for an important task—then Wan Cheng Immortal returned mortally wounded and died shortly after.

Xiang Hong did not believe these events were unrelated.

What are the odds of such coincidence? For a moment, he suspected: could the disappearance of all Immortals in the Tianxie Sword Immortal's world have been because they were all sent on the same important task?

If so, what was that task?

In fact, the Jiuzhou Di Yi Xian and the Tianxie Sword Immortal held the same suspicion.

And in that instant, all three thought of the same thing.

The Primordial Battlefield.

Had only the three Immortals from the Jiuzhou Di Yi Xian's world entered the void for a task, they would not have thought of the Primordial Battlefield.

But now, with Immortals from the Tianxie Sword Immortal's world involved—and one having died—

A task so significant it drew at least four Immortals, and resulted in an Immortal's death—how could one not immediately think of the Primordial Battlefield?

That was the most fitting possibility.

The original battlefield was the great war between past and future, involving all the myriad realms; every living being of the myriad realms on the past side had the duty to take part.

"Sword Immortal, what was the reason for the disappearance of the Immortal in your world? Immortal Wan Cheng died handling affairs, so what about Immortal Wan De that you saw earlier? Speaking of which, one Wan Cheng, one Wan De—these two can't have any relation, can they?"

"The disappearance of Immortal Wan De wasn't mentioned, but he should have also gone to handle that matter. To be honest, Immortal Wan Cheng and Immortal Wan De are twins."

Jiuzhou Di Yi Xian and Xiang Hong's bodies trembled.

Twins?!

Twins who became powerful experts—they had seen them before, but twins who both achieved Immortality—that was just too astonishing. One must understand that Immortality was not so easily attained, let alone two brothers both becoming Immortals.

They couldn't imagine the talent of Wan Cheng and Wan De—how on earth did their parents give birth to such children? Way too incredible.

Tianxie Sword Immortal paid no heed to the two's astonishment:

"Immortal Wan Cheng and Immortal Wan De left at the same time, so it's basically concluded that Immortal Wan De was also handling that matter, only he never returned—his whereabouts unknown."
