I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?-Chapter 1041 - 538: Experiences in Walking the Land of Imperishable_2

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

"The great battle from long ago, and the many mysteries it held, how did Taicang fall, and just how strong was that individual from the Imperishable Temple? Since they managed to kill Taicang, why did they not absorb the Taicang Domain?"

And now that the Taicang Domain still exists, could it be that the individual from the Imperishable Temple was seriously injured, unable to strike against the Taicang Domain again?

If that’s the case, the individual from the Imperishable Temple might not be much stronger than Taicang was.

But only those who participated in the final battle know the truth. Even Taihe and Taikun don’t know what exactly happened, as they were at the periphery of the battle’s core.

And everyone else has perished.

"What’s the deal with Netherworld? Wasn’t it said that he, as a Master of Domain, couldn’t possibly side with the Imperishable Temple, so how did he successfully join them without being absorbed?"

Xu Yan said with uncertainty.

According to the Azure Sea Turtle’s words, creatures of the Domain, especially the Masters of Domain, could not join the Imperishable Temple due to irreconcilable conflicts with it.

To side with the Imperishable Temple ultimately meant to be absorbed by it.

Yet Netherworld emerged as a member of the Imperishable Temple and appeared to absorb the Netherworld Domain he created and left with five Blood Lords.

"Netherworld..."

The Azure Sea Turtle pondered, "Among the Seven Great Domain Masters, Netherworld was one who delighted in slaughter. As you know, the people of Netherworld practice the Blood Path, once cultivating by absorbing the essence blood of Martial Artists. It’s rumored that the Netherworld came to life by absorbing the blood of Imperishable True Spirits, and upon fortifying itself with the blood of Imperishable True Spirits, it developed Spiritual Wisdom and began to use blood for cultivation."

"The Netherworld Blood Sea was filled with the blood of countless True Spirits. He established the Netherworld Domain and slaughtered numerous Imperishable True Spirits. Perhaps he was accepted by the Imperishable Temple because his cultivation methods allowed him to absorb essence blood?"

"Exactly how, we can’t know, but Netherworld himself has always been proud and unsubmissive. He was once suppressed by Taicang for a while but never once bowed his head. Him choosing to side with the Imperishable Temple is indeed unexpected."

The Azure Sea Turtle sighed.

"Is it possible that Taicang’s fall was due to Netherworld’s betrayal?"

Fang Hao mused thoughtfully.

Among the Six Great Domain Masters, to date, it’s confirmed that only Netherworld is still alive and has joined the Imperishable Temple. There’s reason to believe that betraying and striking at Taicang during the battle would align with his interests.

Moreover, Taicang once suppressed Netherworld, and there was some animosity between the two. It’s possible Netherworld would stab Taicang in the back.

"I don’t know!"

The Azure Sea Turtle shook its head.

"I once heard the Hong Ze Boss saying, Netherworld was direct and straightforward, never hiding his likes or dislikes towards others, nor his hatred. Although suppressed by Taicang, he never seemed to resent Taicang, as there was always a reason for everything.

"Of course, this doesn’t mean Netherworld couldn’t commit betrayal. It’s just hard to believe."

The four of them and the turtle moved towards a certain place through the vast Chaotic Imperishable.

Looking back in the direction of the Great Wilderness Domain, they only saw a small magnificent Treasure Bead amidst the chaos.

As even the Great Wilderness Domain disappeared from sight, Xu Yan and the others felt a surge of excitement, looking ahead into the boundless Chaotic Imperishable Land.

The old war that led to Taicang’s fall was long past history, and their curiosity about this part of history couldn’t amount to the feelings and regrets of those who had lived through it themselves.

"Old Turtle, where is the Hong Ze Domain, and how much farther is it?"

One of the once Seven Great Domain and now a dead world, Xu Yan and his companions were quite curious.

"After such a long passage of time, the Hong Ze Domain is no longer in its original place, but it is generally in this direction. If we keep searching, we should be able to find it," the Azure Sea Turtle explained, "Domains within the Land of Imperishable don’t remain stationary. They’re slowly moved by the exploding Spiritual Energy and Imperishable Qi, and although the movement is extremely slow, they don’t stay in one place forever."

"Having lost their Dao Principles and becoming dead worlds makes them move even faster. However, they generally won’t drift too far off course. Even if not in the original spot, as long as we know the general direction of a Domain, it’s quite easy to find."

Xu Yan and the others nodded, not in a rush, since entering the Land of Imperishable was not solely for the Hong Ze Domain.

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

"Eh, why does that mountain have such an odd shape? Could it be a True Spirit?"

This content is taken from fгeewebnovёl.com.

Fang Hao exclaimed in surprise.

Ahead in their field of vision, they had come upon a mountain, shaped like some kind of beast lying on its back.

"Mountains in the Land of Imperishable are all transformed from True Spirits after their death. Moreover, based on the mountain’s strength and size, one can deduce the True Spirit’s power when it was alive."

The Cang Hai Turtle began to explain, "The more powerful the True Spirit, the more likely it will transform into a mountain under the influence of Imperishable Qi instead of decaying."

"Generally, the area around a mountain is the territory of a certain True Spirit. If there is a chain of mountains, it signifies the region of a very powerful True Spirit’s clan."

"That mountain has been there for a long time and there’s no trace of a True Spirit’s presence. Either a solitary True Spirit died and was transformed here, or the clan was annihilated or migrated elsewhere."

"I see!"

Xu Yan and the others suddenly understood.

"Let’s go and take a look inside the mountain, maybe we’ll find something useful."

Fang Hao said excitedly.

The Cang Hai Turtle had no objections and carried the four of them to the mountain.

"Judging by the scale and strength of this mountain, the True Spirit’s power in life must have been at the Minor Heaven and Earth Master level, not weak at all."

The Cang Hai Turtle observed the mountain and spoke.

"How can one determine a True Spirit’s power when it was alive?"

Xu Yan asked curiously.

"It’s quite simple. Look at the size of the mountain, its strength, and whether there are other things born on the mountain..."

The Cang Hai Turtle patted the mountain, producing a dull sound, and continued to explain.

"Mountains in the Land of Imperishable are generally hollow on the inside. Of course, there are ones that are not hollow, but such mountains are rare. If one needs to evade a True Spirit’s pursuit, they can hide their aura and take refuge within the mountain."

"Of course, the True Spirits of the Land of Imperishable are not very intelligent. If they don’t sense an aura, they will quickly leave instead of entering the mountain to search."

"However, if one encounters the pursuers from the Imperishable Temple, they need to be more cautious. They also know that mountains are places to hide. To rely on a mountain for cover, one needs to pick the right one."

"Additionally, the mountain may be the den of certain True Spirits. Once inside, one is at risk of being attacked. The Land of Imperishable houses all kinds of True Spirits, some of which possess special abilities."

"No one knows exactly how many kinds of True Spirits there are in the Land of Imperishable. Even the Seven Great Domain Masters, who once compiled a register of Imperishable True Spirits, lamented that they likely recorded less than one percent..."

After all, as a True Spirit of the Land of Imperishable, the Cang Hai Turtle had roamed the Land of Imperishable for countless years and was extremely knowledgeable about it.

Masters like Old Man Xiao knew far less about the Land of Imperishable than the Cang Hai Turtle did.

Xu Yan and the group listened intently, for these were valuable experiences for navigating the Land of Imperishable.

"There’s no True Spirit inside this mountain. To discern if a True Spirit is within, one can look for signs. Typically, True Spirits leave behind excreta, but some like to conceal themselves and don’t leave any traces, so one needs to be careful."

"Of course, the entrances to the mountains are sometimes well hidden, and sometimes one can spot an opening at a glance. If you’re careful at the entrance, you can usually determine if it leads to a True Spirit’s den."

"Apart from some extremely special True Spirits where no traces can be seen, as long as Divine Spirit Soul Force probes, any presence can be detected. These Imperishable True Spirits, having almost no intelligence, will reveal themselves upon sensing the Divine Spirit Soul Force..."

The Cang Hai Turtle was imparting experience to Xu Yan and his companions.

Fang Hao was also inspecting the mountain, searching for materials that could be of use. One purpose of his journey into the Land of Imperishable was to collect materials that didn’t exist in the outer domain.

The four men and one turtle entered the interior of the mountain. Fang Hao spotted a piece of pale red stone and couldn’t hide his delight.

"This is a good find, excellent material for Artifact Refining."

Fang Hao said as he waved to collect the large stone, "Once purified, it’s enough to refine a Divine Artifact imbued with fiery power."

This stone, evidently, was the transformed heart of a True Spirit.
