The First Immortal of Destiny-Chapter 697: Legend of the Immortal Realm_1

One stormy day, with violent wind and heavy rain, thunder roared and lightning flashed. An afterimage pierced the rain curtain, appearing above a poisonous swamp. The figure that stopped had a pair of wings on his back, formed from clouds, astral gales, and lightning, looking extraordinarily mystical. This person was Shen Mo. In such violent weather, the amplification from his Cloud Thunder Wing was immense. With a single flap of his wings, he could fly dozens of miles, several times faster than his conventional Escape Skill and second only to his Sword Escape Skill.

His current location was the Southern Poison Zone, not far from Five Poisons City. After the world's dramatic upheaval, a forbidden land had descended here. The Outer Zone creature known as Ze Wang that emerged from this forbidden land was of the demon kind, often kidnapping human cultivators and mortals to serve as incubators for its myriad venomous grubs. During Shen Mo's tribulation in the Demonic Killing Field, a Class V Ze Wang had even "sent" a wisp of poison smoke.

Strange! Shen Mo thought, gazing down at the poisonous swamp below, his face etched with puzzlement. The Ze Wang tribe seems to have also moved out of the Primordial Realm.

Currently, this poisonous swamp showed no hint of the mystical aura of a forbidden land; only local toxic creatures dwelled here. Clearly, all the Ze Wang demons, along with their forbidden land, had migrated to another world!

In these past two years, apart from the Outer Zone demons I forced away, many forbidden lands have actively departed this world on their own, Shen Mo mused. What on earth has happened?

Just as when Outer Zone creatures, forbidden lands, and Evil Spirits had all descended en masse during the initial world upheaval, in the short span of two years, the number of forbidden lands in the Red Flame Zone had more than halved. Among them, only a few forbidden lands of Outer Zone demons were forced to migrate because Shen Mo had come knocking. However, the vast majority—including Outer Zone demons Shen Mo hadn't troubled, and even the forbidden lands of benevolent or neutral Outer Zone species—had also quietly vanished from the Primordial Realm!

No matter how confident Shen Mo was, he wouldn't believe he was the sole reason for this situation by constantly troubling the Outer Zone demons. Expelling the forbidden lands of just a few Outer Zone demons was already a significant challenge for him alone. Now that forbidden lands belonging to forces righteous, malevolent, or neutral were all migrating, there surely had to be a reason he didn't understand.

But regardless, the large-scale departure of Outer Zone creatures and forbidden lands from the Primordial Realm was excellent news for the native inhabitants of this world.

Instantly, a thought stirred in Shen Mo's mind, and he flapped his Cloud Thunder Wing.

CRACKLE! SIZZLE!

A tempestuous surge of clouds and flickering lightning erupted behind him, and he transformed into an afterimage, speeding north.

Several Shichen later, Shen Mo's figure appeared above Chong'a Mountain.

The Riverside Sect's gate had been reduced to ruins; even the Mountain Protection Array was completely destroyed. Last year, after Shen Mo had shattered more than half of the Thousands Insects Evil Corpse's forbidden land and abducted over a hundred Thousands Insects Evil Corpses, the Class V powerhouse of this tribe, seeking revenge, had found its way to Chong'a Mountain. It razed hundreds of miles around Chong'a Mountain to the ground. Only Fairy Flower Valley, under the protection of Big Moro Yao, was spared!

However, for the past few years, all disciples of the Riverside Sect had been hiding and practicing their cultivation within the Green Cloud Cave. Consequently, the Class V Thousands Insects Evil Corpse failed to vent its fury and instead brought upon itself the "Three Disasters and Six Tribulations," truly almost "dying of anger" in the most literal sense.

Now, including the Thousands Insects Evil Corpse tribe, most Outer Zone demons had already departed this world. Shen Mo no longer needed to lead his hundred thousand disciples in constant flight.

SWISH!

A dazzling Sword Light erupted from Shen Mo's fingertip as he executed the "Fairyland sword style."

In the next moment, the Green Cloud Cave manifested in the world, settling upon the ruins of the sect gate. From the Outer Realm, it appeared as a radiant sphere of light, enveloping an area dozens of miles across. Yet, its inner world was vast and boundless, as large as five Mountain River Realms.

The interior of the cave paradise was also divided into five distinctly different regions.

The largest region remained in its most primordial state, its exposed rock surface appearing utterly desolate. However, under the influence of sunrises and sunsets, wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, much of the rock had already weathered into fine sand, and rivers and lakes had formed. Seeds of flowers, grasses, and trees, carried by strong winds from other areas, could be faintly seen, dotting the landscape with specks of green.

At the very center lay the Vacuous Zone, as if crafted from Spirit Stones and white jade, so exquisitely beautiful it seemed otherworldly.

Directly north of the Vacuous Zone was the Mountain-River Zone, which retained its original appearance. It now featured an additional sect gateway, no less grand than the original Linjiang Mountain Range site. This zone encompassed mountains and rivers, with palaces and buildings arrayed in neat rows. Outside the sect gate, numerous mortal towns and villages were scattered about, populated by citizens of the Red Flame Country rescued from demons.

In the northwest corner, several shattered forbidden lands had been refined into the Green Cloud Cave, now housing captive demons like the Thousand-eyed, Human-faced Willows, and Thousands Insects Evil Corpses.

East of the Vacuous Zone was the Jade Pool Zone, where the flow of time was ten times slower than elsewhere. It was planted with a vast number of exotic flowers and herbs from the Red Flame Zone, the Heaven Patrolling Zone, and those obtained from Fairy Flower Valley!

As the Green Cloud Cave unfurled, disciples of the Riverside Sect began to move out in batches to reconstruct their sect gate.

Shen Mo was just about to contact Flower Fairy A Yao to ask her about the reasons for the mass departure of forbidden lands when, unexpectedly, A Yao preemptively transmitted her thoughts to him.

Only after a detailed discussion with her did Shen Mo understand why the Outer Zone species were leaving the Primordial Realm. Shen Mo had not yet refined the Green Cloud Cave into a forbidden land, so he was not fully aware of these changes.

Outer Zone creatures like Big Moro Yao, Protectors of forbidden lands, had, over the past two years, successively sensed a completely new world. And unlike the Primordial Realm, which was a Withering Realm, this new world had not detached from the Universe Tree!

"From ancient times, my Flower Fairy clan, as well as other Outer Zone species, have circulated a legend.

"On the Universe Tree, there is a leaf of the world that will never wither!

"Moreover, unlike other non-withering worlds, even we, the remnants from withering and decaying worlds, can smoothly enter this world. Once we descend there, we will no longer need to migrate every so often.

"This new world we sensed might be that never-withering leaf…

"It could also possibly be the 'Immortal Realm' from the legends of you Human Cultivators!

"Shen, in a few days, my Fairy Flower Valley will also depart for that new world. If you are interested, refine a forbidden land as soon as possible and descend there.

"Otherwise, if you miss this opportunity, who knows how many tens of thousands of years you'll have to wait for the next one."

The news Big Moro Yao conveyed was nothing short of astounding!

That day, Shen Mo summoned all the high-ranking disciples of the Riverside Sect, informed them of this matter, and listened to their opinions and thoughts.

The following day, the Riverside Sect halted the process of moving disciples out. Instead, they dispatched all disciples at the Spirit Sea Realm and above to move famous mountains and great rivers, incorporating them into the Green Cloud Cave.

At the same time, Shen Mo also passed the method of refining forbidden lands, which he had obtained from "Fairy Pei Yu," to Big Moro Yao for her review.
