Chapter 721: Travelers of Reincarnation, Chaotic Hole Red Lotus, Dining on Wind and Drinking Dew

The returning ruins, the place where all worlds perish and sink. Just the phantom sea composed of the remnant shadows of the light of worlds on the verge of destruction on the periphery is one of the few dangerous places in the Earth Immortal Realm.

During the Heavenly Zhou period, the ancient three continents of the Earth Immortal Realm sank into the returning ruins. During the Immortal Qin period, another three continents sank.

It is said that walking deeper from the phantom sea of the returning ruins is the true returning ruins where many worlds sink and terrifying tribulation waves ripple.

It connects to a bottomless chaotic hole of the entire cosmic world sea.

But in the Earth Immortal Realm, no one has been able to cross the phantom sea of the returning ruins for a long time. Even Primordial Spirit True Immortals dare not go deep. Some speculate that the returning ruins may not only exist in the Earth Immortal Realm, but exist in all the heavens, where there are roads to the Nine Heavens, the Heavenly Realm, the Thirty-Three Heavens, and other heavens.

"I didn't expect the Falling Dragon Abyss, which is famous in later generations, to be named for this!"

On the deck of a cloud-traveling flying boat, five figures stood. Some of these people were dressed in strong clothes, some wore cloaks and hoods, and some wore tight leather armor.

The leader, however, was dressed in Daoist robes, with sparse white hair on his head, tied with a purple-gold hairpin, and a face full of wrinkles, looking like an ordinary old Daoist.

"I have long heard that there is a road across the long time in the place of reincarnation, but I didn't expect it to be our turn!" A big man in leather armor laughed.

"We used the living beings of the mission world to cultivate demonic Dao divine abilities! Perhaps we have violated the taboos of the Lord of Reincarnation. Although this kind of quick-success cultivation is very powerful, teams that have done this before will be looked at differently by the Lord of Reincarnation and assigned many missions with extremely high death rates. We must not be careless..."

The black-robed man in a hood said in a hoarse, low voice.

"What are you afraid of? The Lord of Reincarnation has no good or evil. Even for factions like ours that lean toward the demonic Dao, we will only be assigned to those worlds on the verge of destruction."

"The world is about to be destroyed, so what does it matter if we kill some living beings?"

A man with a cold face and strange divine demon tattoos all over his body sneered: "Hasn't it been speculated long ago that the existence of the Lord of Reincarnation is to protect the balance of the cosmic world sea? We slaughter living beings and push those worlds into the Nine Heavens, which is also cleaning up garbage for the cosmic world sea."

"Since the demonic Dao exists in the place of reincarnation, it has a reason to exist!"

"But the outcome is that every five missions, there will be death missions that other reincarnators don't have, which must be completed forcibly!"

The black-robed man said coldly: "I have finally passed three death missions and have already changed many teammates. I don't want to become one of them."

"We have already received an invitation from 'Nine Heavens'. After observing two more missions, we will have the opportunity to enter 'Nine Heavens' and get rid of death missions. This death mission is extremely important to me. You know, people like us, although they have a reason to exist in the place of reincarnation, the Lord of Reincarnation has never liked us..."

"Old Daoist Chijiu, you are a person from the Earth Immortal Realm. You should know something about this mission!"

The black-robed man turned to look at the old Daoist.

"Hehe... the years before the Eternal Demon Tribulation!" The old man looked up and sighed.

"Now it should be the Wei and Jin period! In later generations, I hung out in this area, so I know something about this. The Eternal Demon Tribulation has become a taboo, and there are not many things circulating about that era. However, the Falling Dragon Abyss has existed until later generations and has become increasingly famous..."

"In those thousands of gullies and sea abysses, there are many demonic objects and sea monsters, producing many precious spiritual herbs. It is even more famous because there is a passage here leading to the returning ruins."

"This passage is one of the safest roads to the returning ruins. Therefore, when the passage opens every thousand years, even Primordial Spirit True Immortals from other worlds rush over! They try to enter a secret place, but not many come out alive... even Primordial Spirit True Immortals are no exception! So, this death mission is truly worthy of its name!"

"Main Mission 1: Enter the returning ruins! Mission failure, erasure!"

Several people looked at their main mission and were silent for a while.

Although they were already top powerhouses in various worlds, compared to the Primordial Spirit True Immortals standing at the top of the worlds, they were still far behind. This death mission was to go to the returning ruins. No matter what the subsequent missions were, it could be called nine deaths and one life.

Although they had experienced several death missions, this was the first time that Mission 1 was so terrifying.

"Of course, many people who have safely walked out of the returning ruins have achieved the Primordial Spirit! Some have even unearthed treasures at the level of spirit treasures from the returning ruins! Countless world wrecks fall into it, and those that can remain are all treasures!"

"Although this mission is dangerous, it also contains great opportunities, and there is even a chance to seize treasures at the level of spirit treasures!" Old Daoist Chijiu's wrinkles trembled, and his face seemed to be falling off something...

"Demon, what did your divine demon find out?" The black-robed man turned to ask the tattooed man.

At this time, two naked female tattoos suddenly crawled onto the man's neck, whispered something in his ear, and then the man suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood. He showed a trace of ruthlessness, wiped the black blood from the corner of his mouth, and said coldly: "My Six-Desire Divine Demon only brought back two. The level of this world is indeed extremely high! The Primordial Infant great cultivators who could suppress one side in our era are everywhere, and there are even Soul Transformation powerhouses taking action..."

"Do you remember the mission background told to us by the Lord of Reincarnation?" The tattooed man put away the Six-Desire Divine Demon and sneered.

"The Cheng Lu plate of the Immortal Han treasure appeared in the world, attracting several Primordial Spirits to strike! Penglai, Long Gong, Zhengyi, and Southern Jin all have plans. Dao, Buddha, and Demon, the three religions clashed, and the Primordial Spirit great battle caused the East Sea to boil for a thousand miles—True Dragon fell into the sea to form nine abysses, red lotus bloomed to shock the world!"

"This battle caused the sun and moon to fall together, finally breaking the void and opening a passage to the returning ruins!"

"Above the East Sea, red lotus bloomed, red flames were arrogant!"

"Eight arms danced, long sword crossed autumn, spear tip like a sharp edge!"

"Main Mission 1: Go to the returning ruins..."

Everyone looked at the news brought back by the divine demon, their faces gloomy, all with a trace of nervous aura. They looked strange, looking at the information pieced together.

Primordial Spirit True Immortals taking action—they had been lucky enough to see it once in their missions. It was a power that completely transcended everything below it. The difference between immortal and mortal was like a heavenly chasm, making them completely unable to raise any thought of resistance.

Just under the casual pressure of a Primordial Spirit True Immortal, that death mission saw only a small half of them return...

At that time, this team already had several veterans who had completed several death missions. In the end, only a few of them with less seniority remained.

That kind of terror was something they didn't want to experience a second time in this life...

Even if they had mostly cultivated to the Primordial Infant realm now, so what? Facing a Primordial Spirit, there would be no second result.

But the Primordial Spirit great battle in the information, that tragic aura almost overflowed the paper. Just the Primordial Infant great cultivators who died in the aftermath were more than a dozen. Countless living beings in the East Sea were annihilated, and even the Immortal Qin Xing Ship took action.

Such existences were legends in their era, and they couldn't even imagine the terror of such war machines...

There were six Primordial Spirit True Immortals who appeared, from Dao, Penglai, Long Gong, Buddha, Southern Jin, and Demon...

There were several spirit treasures alone!

Cheng Lu silver plate, Cheng Lu gold plate, Immortal Qin Xing Ship, White Tiger Seven-Kill Blade, Heavenly Heart Yin-Yang Ring, True Dragon Sea-Splitting Halberd, Vermilion Bird Fire-Pointed Spear... All of them became famous in the world after this battle.

The various great divine abilities displayed by several parties were also many legends they had heard! True great divine abilities taking action were something even reincarnators as knowledgeable as them had only seen twice with their own eyes, and both times they were miserably defeated and fled. The terrifying power of that level didn't need to be said.

And it was this battle that made all the reincarnators suffocate just by looking at the paper, but the result was even more shocking—this battle was actually four Primordial Spirit True Immortals besieging one person.

The Immortal Qin Xing Ship pressed down, but was beaten to collapse by four great divine abilities;

The Cheng Lu gold and silver plates pulled each other to fall into the returning ruins together, punching through the void passage;

Four Primordial Spirit True Immortals struck at the same time, and several spirit treasures were shattered, but it only caused the lotus dharma body to bloom five times. In the end, the Buddhist golden body shattered, and the True Sea Dragon fell! The guardian of the Supreme Louguan Sect fought one against four, one fled, one escaped, one died, and one was extinguished, and he himself was reborn four times, still ending the battle in his prime.

These descriptions made the reincarnators feel cold all over. Old Daoist Chijiu comforted everyone: "Our mission is only to go to the returning ruins! It may not have anything to do with such True Immortals!"

"And this person left behind the spirit treasure Red Lotus and re-entered the returning ruins. He should have gone to find the Cheng Lu plate!"

"As long as we avoid the Cheng Lu plate, we probably won't provoke characters at the Primordial Spirit level. We are on a death mission, not a must-die mission! The Lord of Reincarnation won't let us deal with Primordial Spirits!"

The black-robed man also nodded and said: "It seems our goal is still to go to the returning ruins through that chaotic hole. That Primordial Spirit True Immortal left behind a red lotus to carry those who have tokens to the returning ruins."

"This should be the safest road. Of course, we can also go to the returning ruins by ourselves without the help of the red lotus!"

Old Daoist Chijiu shook his head: "Without Primordial Spirit Dao practice, this is definitely nine deaths and one life. Is the returning ruins so easy to break into? Not to mention the various disasters and illusions in the phantom sea, just the void turbulence inside is not something we can deal with."

The tattooed man also nodded: "Entering through that red lotus is naturally the safest."

"But the red lotus only welcomes those who have offered Cheng Lu plate fragments... According to my Yin Demon's investigation, one spot overseas has already been called to a sky-high price, and most of them are in the hands of major forces. Wanting to find someone to take us into the returning ruins, the difficulty is probably no less than a death mission!"

The black-robed man said calmly: "Don't forget, that red lotus is also just a spirit treasure!"

"Don't be confused by the terrifying record of that Supreme Louguan Sect guardian! Major sects probably don't lack spirit treasures. Without the red lotus to welcome them, they can also drive their own spirit treasures to strike into the returning ruins... So, we just need to mix into a major sect that has spirit treasures!"

What he said made sense, and the remaining few nodded one after another, so the flying boat sailed toward the flying boat immortal city.

That place was closest to the returning ruins passage, and major sects, if they were prepared to break into the returning ruins, would mostly stop there to rest!

After sailing for several hours, their flying boat, which was extremely fast, had already approached the sea area where the Primordial Spirit great battle had taken place not long ago!

The aftermath of the violent essence qi still echoed at the edge of this forbidden zone. Some divine abilities still remained in the void. Just sensing the aura made the several reincarnators feel terrified.

They stopped the flying boat and dared not go deeper, because even this top-grade flying boat, whose speed was almost comparable to the late Primordial Infant stage and whose defensive array would not tremble when bearing the divine abilities of Primordial Infant great cultivators, would be destroyed and shattered if it grazed the remaining divine ability fluctuations of this battlefield.

That chaotic hole was like a black vortex, shredding the void. A carefully crafted flying boat like theirs would be completely shredded by the void turbulence before it even got close, and even Primordial Infant great cultivators would find it difficult to approach.

A red lotus took root on the black hole, its petals trembling slightly with the void turbulence, sprinkling a strand of divine brilliance!

The turbulence that could annihilate Primordial Infant cultivators hit that red lotus, only like slightly rippling water waves. The red lotus was as large as a mountain, and its heavy petals could almost lift palaces. It stabilized the chaotic hole and opened up a calm, safe pure land. Many overseas immortal sects had already used the fate of having offered Cheng Lu plates to pray silently and were welcomed into it by the red lotus.

Seeing this red lotus, the several reincarnators finally discovered how miraculous the red lotus, which they had only called a spirit treasure, really was.

The red lotus stabilized the void, and the flames burning and flying on its petals—if they touched them, they would probably be shattered. Under the burning of the karmic fire, the entire reincarnation team would probably only have the late Primordial Infant stage Old Daoist Chijiu able to escape.

Many cultivators, like them, flew to the edge of this battlefield, looking at the returning ruins passage from afar.

In that chaotic hole, the returning ruins phantom sea floated!

The little shadows reflected from time to time made many people exclaim. The returning ruins inside floated with a destructive, silent aura.

"Don't approach at will!"

An old cultivator spitting smoke from a pipe exhorted a group of disciples beside him: "Previously, a Soul Transformation expert of the Qitian Sect activated the North Star Heaven-Leveling Crown imitated by the sect and approached the traces of divine abilities left by True Person Brother Qian, wanting to comprehend the traces of the great divine ability similar to the North Star Si Ming. As a result, it provoked the reaction of that starlight, and he was beheaded of two hundred years of lifespan..."

"A Soul Transformation True Person has a lifespan of several thousand years and can withstand this strike, but you don't have such a long lifespan!"

"Old Man Guo, it is rumored that you have entered the ruins of the demon-sealing site of the Supreme Louguan Sect predecessors, which is why you were able to extend your lifespan and form a third-rank pill..." A disciple beside him shouted: "Perhaps you have a fate with that senior! Why not go up and pray to see if you can enter the red lotus?"

The old cultivator puffed on his pipe, leaning on the low couch of the flying boat.

Seeing the flying boat looking like it was condensed from clouds and mist, like a huge cloud bed, some cultivators recognized that it was the flying boat of the Dining on Wind and Drinking Dew Sect.

"You invited me here, isn't it because you want to use my past experience and that bit of sentiment to take such a trip? This returning ruins is completely different from the Yuan Magnetic Earth Aperture Thunder Sea Demon Cave of the past. It is terrifying beyond measure! The Dining on Wind and Drinking Dew Sect helped me rebuild the Swallowing Clouds in the past. Alas! It's all karma!"

He sighed: "In the past, I was able to escape the demon cave alive by relying on not being greedy and being obedient, and with the help of the Supreme Louguan Sect disciples, I was able to return alive! Being lucky enough to form a pill was all thanks to someone's guidance."

"It is I who owe them sentiment, not them who owe me half! Now that I am dragged down by you to take this trip out of the mountains, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse..."

"Old Man Guo! The three people you ordered us to find have appeared in the flying boat immortal city..."

A Primordial Infant cultivator suddenly flew over and bowed.

"They are old friends!" Old Man Guo tapped his pipe head on the deck of the flying boat, put away the pipe, and tucked it into his sleeve.

"Whether we can enter the returning ruins depends on whether we can ask the three of them for help. I don't know if they still care about my old man's face..."

He wrinkled his face, hunched his back, dragged his body, and drove the cloud bed flying boat toward the immortal city.

"The ancestral cave of the Dining on Wind and Drinking Dew Sect fell into the void, and the most likely place is falling into the returning ruins! For the sake of the ancestral lineage, I have to break into it once! We don't even have the qualifications to enter the red lotus, so I have to shamelessly find someone, which is also..." ===== CHAPTER 722 =====

He hunched his back and dragged his body, steering his cloud-bed flying boat toward the immortal city.

"The ancestral grotto-heaven of the Wind-Drinking and Dew-Eating Sect has fallen into the void; the most likely outcome is that it has fallen into the Return to Ruins! For the sake of the founder's orthodoxy, I have no choice but to make this trip! We don't even have the qualifications to enter the Red Lotus, so having me shamelessly ask others for help is also..."
