Immortal Martial Arts: Marry a Wife and Live a Long Life

Chapter 281: Surviving a Catastrophe by Sleeping? The Root of Qianyuan Divine Continent's Decline, the Tragic Son of a True Immortal

"Not agreeing?"

Han Li's gaze flickered, his tone still calm, as if chatting with an acquaintance. "The White Emperor misses you."

"You."

The pupils of the Great Emperor Changfeng contracted slightly. Han Li seemed calm, but he was clearly threatening him.

The White Emperor was killed by Han Li, and he misses him? Is he going to send him down to meet the White Emperor and reminisce with him?

"Sigh~"

Staring at Han Li for a while, the Great Emperor Changfeng suddenly sighed, and his whole person slumped.

The other party had him figured out. He seemed to have no choice, not even the power to resist.

"What do you want to ask? I will tell you everything I know." The Great Emperor Changfeng looked desolate, as if he had aged a hundred thousand years in an instant.

Even in the ancient times, he had never fallen to such a state. It seemed as if he was a little lamb, at the mercy of others.

A glimmer of light flashed in Han Li's eyes. After pondering for a while on the word "everything," he asked, "How did you survive the ancient catastrophe?"

Han Li asked the question he was most concerned about.

The catastrophe in Yuankun Domain began with the Xuan God Sword Mountain, a profound and unfathomable immortal sword. Even if it only slightly recovered, the Sword Ray could be invincible, cutting down all immortals in the world, even the Nine Heavens True Immortal couldn't withstand a strand of Sword Ray.

After the catastrophe, the True Immortals, Celestial Immortals, and even the Great Emperors of Yuankun Domain all perished. Countless imperial and immortal treasures were destroyed as a result. However, the Great Emperor Changfeng managed to survive.

Although there was a divine formation separating them, Han Li still saw through the cultivation base of the Great Emperor Changfeng. He was only at the Heavenly Sovereign Realm Fifth Stage, at most late stage. Such a weak power was definitely unable to survive the catastrophe in Yuankun Domain.

The Great Emperor Changfeng opened his mouth but didn't say anything for a while, as if he didn't know how to respond.

"Is this what you call telling everything?" Han Li frowned, a hint of dissatisfaction in his calm tone.

This was only the first question, and the Great Emperor Changfeng didn't answer. He had to deal with this ignorant Great Emperor properly.

"I apologize, Fellow Daoist Han. It's not that I don't want to tell you, but even if I do, you won't believe it."

Seeing that Han Li seemed to be getting angry, the Great Emperor Changfeng quickly spoke up, a bitter smile on his face.

Zi Miaozhen's beautiful eyes flashed with curiosity. She had come here on orders the previous two times, so she only had a basic understanding of the Great Emperor Changfeng.

She knew nothing about how the Great Emperor Changfeng survived the catastrophe in Yuankun Domain, how he became enemies with the White Emperor City, and why the White Emperor didn't personally go to Qianyuan Divine Continent to kill the Great Emperor Changfeng.

Now that the White Emperor was dead, the only one who knew these secrets was probably the Great Emperor Changfeng.

"If you don't tell me, how do you know that I won't believe it?" Han Li snorted coldly, his gaze becoming somewhat unfriendly.

He suspected that the Great Emperor Changfeng wanted to deceive him, but the Great Emperor Changfeng hadn't figured out how to deceive him yet, so he avoided answering.

Great Emperor Changfeng was at a loss for words. He sighed inwardly and reluctantly said, "I fell asleep and woke up to find that I had passed the ancient calamity."

Pass the ancient calamity just by sleeping?

Han Li blinked his eyes and became even more suspicious of Great Emperor Changfeng's words. If one could pass the ancient calamity just by sleeping, then throughout endless ages, countless Great Emperors, Celestial Immortals, and True Immortals in the Yuan Kun Domain would not have perished.

"Great Emperor, you better tell the truth, or else..." Zi Miaozhen also felt confused. She thought that Great Emperor Changfeng was making things up, so she spoke up to remind him.

"Changfeng, do you think I can be easily fooled?" Han Li's face turned cold, and his tone carried a hint of killing intent.

"Fellow Daoist Han, Fellow Daoist Zi, you have misunderstood me. I really did pass the ancient calamity after waking up. This is absolutely true."

"Now my life and death are in Fellow Daoist Han's hands. How could I dare to fabricate lies to deceive you?"

Feeling Han Li's killing intent, Great Emperor Changfeng quickly explained, his expression becoming even more distressed.

"I mentioned earlier that I didn't know how to bring it up, and even if I did, you wouldn't believe me." Great Emperor Changfeng felt wronged.

He had done everything according to Han Li's request, but the two of them didn't believe him and thought he was deceiving them.

But even if he felt wronged, he had to hold it in. He had to swallow all the distress and explain clearly. He didn't want to die unjustly.

While Great Emperor Changfeng was speaking, Han Li and the spirit of the Lightning Boat were observing his words and actions, but they didn't notice anything unusual. It was highly likely that he wasn't lying.

However, Han Li was still not at ease. His Divine Sense entered the Chaos Cauldron he carried with him and descended to the center of the Chaos Yuan River. His Divine Sense took form and revealed Han Li's figure.

Luyao was still in the same posture, her slender and jade-like legs exposed. When she saw Han Li's Divine Sense incarnation, she grumbled discontentedly, "Have some manners. You come in without even saying hello. What if I was changing clothes and you saw me?"

Han Li's mouth twitched. She was just a spirit, not a physical being. What clothes could she be changing?

Besides, I'm your master. So what if I see? I still want to go.

He wasn't in the mood to tease Luyao now. He knew she was saying one thing but meaning another. She was a cold and elegant Tsundere Onee-san. He asked directly, "Did Great Emperor Changfeng lie?"

Luyao was the spirit of the Golden Immortal Soldier. As long as Great Emperor Changfeng told a lie, any subtle movement or fluctuation in his body or spirit would not escape Luyao's eyes.

"No, he didn't," Luyao said coldly, her voice as frosty as ever.

She was about to say something when Han Li's Divine Sense incarnation voluntarily dissipated. This made Luyao even angrier, and she slapped her palm, almost breaking the Chaos Yuan River.

"You damn guy!"

Luyao was very angry. Since the Chaos Cauldron fell into Han Li's hands, she hadn't had a peaceful day.

Han Li either came to provoke her for no reason or came to ask her questions. After getting the answers, he would just leave her behind.

"You really make me mad!" Luyao raised her small pink fist and looked at Han Li outside, wanting to punch him with it.

Great Emperor Changfeng was still muttering in a low voice, feeling wronged. Han Li retracted his Divine Sense and interrupted, "Tell me the details. For example, why were you trapped in this formation? What did you see after waking up? And what is your origin and background in the ancient times?"

Great Emperor Changfeng believed that he had passed the ancient calamity just by sleeping, but Han Li felt that there was more to it. Perhaps he could uncover many secrets.

"Do not hide anything," Han Li added.

The Great Emperor Changfeng did not immediately answer, but said, "I am willing to explain everything in detail. I only have one request: spare my life."

He knew very well that if he revealed everything, he would lose his value. Even if it meant offending Han Li, he needed a promise first.

"Do you still have the qualification to negotiate with me?" Han Li's words were sharp and not at all polite.

The Great Emperor Changfeng's expression changed constantly, but he did not speak. He just looked at Han Li, seemingly determined to die rather than yield.

Han Li looked at him deeply, suddenly smiled, and said, "Rest assured, Fellow Daoist Changfeng. As long as you satisfy me, I will not make things difficult for you."

"After all, you have helped me a lot."

Indeed, Han Li did not intend to be too harsh on the Great Emperor Changfeng. Although the Great Emperor Changfeng had caused trouble for him by guiding Lu Tianxiang to find him, it also helped fulfill the marriage between him and Lu Tianxiang.

Later, Han Yongzhen, Han Yongxiang, Han Yongji, and others came forward, and the Great Emperor Changfeng also provided them with many opportunities, although he had hidden malicious intentions.

If the Great Emperor Changfeng answered his questions without reservation, it would earn him quite a few points.

So, while the death penalty could be forgiven, the living sin would be hard to escape.

Let the Great Emperor Changfeng serve the Han Family of Chengsheng Mountain for twenty ten thousand years. Han Li felt that he was being too kind.

With the Great Emperor Changfeng's lifespan, serving the Han Family as a slave for twenty ten thousand years would still leave him with several tens of ten thousand years of life.

By then, the Han Family of Chengsheng Mountain should be filled with Celestial Immortals, and the Great Emperor would be no better than a dog.

"Hoo~"

The Great Emperor Changfeng breathed a sigh of relief. Although he did not receive a specific promise from Han Li, he had a glimmer of hope.

Seeing that Han Li was a man of his word, he hoped that after Han Li crossed the river, he would not push him into the water.

"In that case, I will speak to Fellow Daoist Han and Fellow Daoist Zi in detail."

"In the past, although I, Changfeng, was not well-known in the ancient era, my background and foundation were extraordinary."

The Great Emperor Changfeng fell into reminiscence, constantly recounting his glorious moments and the miserable life he had endured since being trapped in this grand formation for over ten ten thousand years.

The Great Emperor Changfeng continued to speak to himself, clearly immersed in his memories or perhaps having spent too long alone, eager to pour out the words that had been pent up for tens of ten thousand years.

Han Li ignored the Great Emperor Changfeng and fell into contemplation. Seeing this, Zi Miaozhen did not disturb Han Li and silently stood by his side, looking up at him with admiration in her beautiful eyes.

The Great Emperor Changfeng was a descendant of a True Immortal, born in the late ancient era. He had just broken through to the Quasi Emperor realm when the ancient calamity was about to erupt.

Therefore, the True Immortal father of the Great Emperor Changfeng made a decision to seal him in an exquisite emperor formation to protect him.

When the calamity erupted, whether it was the Heavenly Sovereign Realm Great Emperors or the Celestial Immortals and True Immortals, they all perished and were harvested by the Xuan Shen Sword Mountain.

The True Immortal instructed the Great Emperor Changfeng to continue cultivating, but he had to suppress his realm and must not break through to the Heavenly Sovereign Realm before the end of the ancient calamity.

The True Immortal had important matters to attend to and only left the Great Emperor Changfeng with a top-grade emperor weapon. After the calamity passed, he would be able to break through and wield a Heavenly Sovereign Realm emperor weapon, which would undoubtedly make him invincible.

At that time, the young and ambitious Great Emperor Changfeng did not want to live like this. Even though he was trapped in the grand formation, he continued to cultivate desperately. His True Immortal father had left him with enough cultivation resources.

In less than a hundred years, the Great Emperor Changfeng broke through from the Quasi Emperor First Stage to the Quasi Emperor Ninth Stage, preparing to break through to the Heavenly Sovereign Realm in one go, and then break out of the Emperor Formation to find his True Immortal father and participate in that great event.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the True Immortal left behind a contingency plan and sensed that the Great Emperor Changfeng was about to break through. The contingency plan erupted, suppressing the realm of the Great Emperor Changfeng, causing him to fall into a deep sleep.

Until one day, the Xuan Shen Sword Mountain revived, and one brilliant sword ray after another bloomed, killing one famous Great Emperor, Celestial Immortal, and True Immortal of the Yuan Kun Domain after another.

On that day, the Qianyuan Divine Continent gathered a large number of True Immortals, Celestial Immortals, Great Emperors, and Saints. Not only from the Qianyuan Divine Continent, but also from the surrounding thirty-six Divine Continents, and even some strong individuals from other Divine Continents of the Yuan Kun Domain.

They all came for the same purpose, which was to unite the power of all the strong individuals using the power of a Golden Immortal-level remnant formation, connecting the thirty-seven Divine Continents, and attempting to resist the Sword Ray of the Xuan Shen Sword Mountain and survive the ancient calamity.

But unfortunately, they failed. Perhaps only by gathering the power of all the Saints and above in the Yuan Kun Domain could they resist, or perhaps they would be easily killed.

Under the brilliant Sword Ray of the Xuan Shen Sword Mountain, the Golden Immortal-level remnant formation was instantly destroyed, and a large number of strong individuals died, while the remaining ones scattered and fled.

The collision between the formation and the Sword Ray caused great turbulence, and the loud rumbling sound echoed throughout the Yuan Kun Domain, awakening the Great Emperor Changfeng.

He saw one Saint and Great Emperor after another being mercilessly slaughtered by the Sword Ray, and even the Celestial Immortal who had traversed the Yuan Kun Domain for billions of years was killed by a strand of Sword Ray, with their bodies falling from the Nine Heavens.

The Great Emperor Changfeng was completely frightened. He desperately hid himself, avoiding being discovered by the Sword Ray of the Immortal Sword, and even forgot his father's instructions: the Sword Ray would not actively attack beings below the Heavenly Sovereign Realm.

At that time, the Great Emperor Changfeng was in a panic, abandoning everything and just wanting to hide. He was afraid, with deep fear in his heart.

His father failed to gather the power of a large number of strong individuals and dozens of Divine Continents with the Golden Immortal-level remnant formation, and died. Even the Celestial Immortal who was high above and overlooking the world couldn't withstand a Sword Ray. If he went out, it would be suicide.

The ancient calamity came quickly and went quickly, harvesting all the Great Emperors, Celestial Immortals, and True Immortals of the Yuan Kun Domain, but it only took a very short time. The Xuan Shen Sword Mountain returned to calm once again.

However, the entire Yuan Kun Domain was plunged into extreme turbulence and chaos in the aftermath of the ancient calamity, and countless ordinary people, weak cultivators, and even powerful cultivators perished in this calamity.

Due to that collision, Qianyuan Divine Continent suffered the most severe damage, with all dragon veins collapsing and a large number of spiritual veins shattering, resulting in a drastic decrease in Qianyuan Divine Continent's Spiritual Qi. The surrounding thirty-six Divine Continents were also affected, although not as severely as Qianyuan Divine Continent.

This is also the main reason why there has been no birth of a Holy Abyss Realm in Qianyuan Divine Continent since the ancient catastrophe. It was all caused by that collision.

It was only many years after the great catastrophe that Changfeng Great Emperor broke through to the Heavenly Sovereign Realm. During that time, he was depressed and lost, until he finally rallied and ascended to the Heavenly Sovereign Realm.

During Changfeng Great Emperor's Transcending Tribulation in the underground world, although there was the protection of the Emperor Formation, it still caused a great commotion. The various Great Saint territories in Qianyuan Divine Continent, and even other powerful forces in the Yuankun Domain, were all aware of it.

After some investigation, the Holy Land and the Great Teaching of Qianyuan Divine Continent discovered that it was Changfeng Great Emperor who was undergoing Transcending Tribulation. This led to an internal turmoil.

Although Changfeng Great Emperor was the son of an ancient True Immortal from White Jade Capital, the ruler of White Jade Capital did not want to let him out. Otherwise, with Changfeng Great Emperor's strength, he would seize his position and power, and no longer have control over all the resources of White Jade Capital.

Therefore, the ruler of White Jade Capital either supported the release of Changfeng Great Emperor or imprisoned and suppressed him, and reached an agreement with the Celestial Immortal troops and True Immortal troops of White Jade Capital.

Although Changfeng Great Emperor was the son of a True Immortal, according to the rules inherited from White Jade Capital, the Immortal troops had to obey the orders of the Daoist Lord.

The Daoist Lord of White Jade Capital knew that it was impossible to kill Changfeng Great Emperor, otherwise those Immortal troops would definitely rebel. So the agreement reached was to let Changfeng Great Emperor continue to stay in the Emperor Formation, and take away his Emperor's weapon and most of his cultivation resources.

This was a stain for the Daoist Lord of White Jade Capital, so he killed or erased the memories of many people who knew about it, and only each generation of Daoist Lords knew about this matter.

At the end of the ancient era, both the White Emperor and Changfeng Great Emperor were very prominent and were disciples of White Jade Capital. However, after the great catastrophe broke out, the White Emperor took away some of the heritage of White Jade Capital and fled to the Taibai Divine Continent, where he established the White Emperor City.

The enmity between Changfeng Great Emperor and the White Emperor also arose from this. Changfeng Great Emperor wanted to kill the rebellious White Emperor, and the White Emperor also wanted to kill him, but White Jade Capital did not allow it.

They could only send people to inspect the seal of the great formation from time to time, and also check on the situation of Changfeng Great Emperor.
