Chapter 453 Ancient Truths, Whereabouts of the Demon Clan_2
Only the victorious sects are eligible to board the Breaking Realm Ship.
Anyway, according to our Cold Water Palace's records, the final great war in the Cultivation World was extremely brutal.
Nearly half of the Immortal Sects were annihilated because of it.
The ones who won the war boarded the Breaking Realm Flying Boat and ultimately departed the realm."
"As for our Four Great Secret Places, it was the ancestors who decided that in the vast starry sky, everything is unknown, and it was uncertain if they could find a way out.
So, ultimately, they selected some disciples with shallow Cultivation and used Spiritual Artifacts to stabilize the secret realm, giving them a place of refuge.
Even if they ultimately failed, it would at least leave some legacy for this world."
After hearing Han Lingshuang's narration, Lu Qing finally understood what had happened at the end of the previous Cultivation Era.
And the reasons for the disappearance of many Immortal Sects.
It turns out they left this world by boarding spiritual artifact flying boats.
In this way, some of the mysteries in his heart could be resolved.
And "Yan" within the Leaving Fire Tripod, also suddenly realized.
No wonder the conflict between Li Huo Sect and the rival sect suddenly intensified at that time.
It was apparent those behind-the-scenes Primordial Spirit Great Powers had long planned it.
They wanted to first eliminate some sects, making it easier to gather materials and refine flying boats.
As for why Li Huo Sect was chosen, it could also guess the reason.
It was likely because Li Huo Sect was quite wealthy, but at that time did not have a Primordial Spirit Great Power in command.
"Young Master, you should ask her if the Yintian Sect ever boarded the Breaking Realm Ship in the end?"
"Yan" suddenly spoke.
Lu Qing was slightly stunned, then realized that the Yintian Sect should be the sect that fought against Li Huo Sect back then.
Han Lingshuang heard Lu Qing's question, thought about it for a moment, then shook her head:
"According to the records of our Cold Water Palace, Yintian Sect was not among the sects that ultimately boarded the Breaking Realm Ship and departed."
"Yan" fell into silence upon hearing that.
Actually, after listening to Han Lingshuang's description, it had already anticipated this result.
Back then, Li Huo Sect was defeated by Yintian Sect and eventually exterminated.
But Yintian Sect was also not in a good state, with most of its internal experts dead or injured, and their Sect Spirit Artifact heavily damaged.
Under such circumstances, they would surely not have survived the final sect war.
Ultimately failing was only natural.
However, although knowing that Yintian Sect didn't meet a good end either, "Yan" wasn't particularly happy.
Because it knew that both Li Huo Sect and Yintian Sect were just pawns in the calculations of those behind-the-scenes Primordial Spirit Great Powers.
Lu Qing sensed "Yan"'s silence and roughly understood its feelings.
However, he didn't say anything and began inquiring with Han Lingshuang.
"What about the Divine Talisman Sect? Did this sect board the Breaking Realm Ship?
And what happened with the Demon Clan and Sea Clan in the end?"
Han Lingshuang looked at Lu Qing strangely.
She realized that the honored one was indeed somewhat peculiar.
Clearly knowing little about the Ancient Immortal Cultivation Era, yet somehow seemed quite knowledgeable about certain sects, being able to accurately name them.
Despite feeling strange, she did not reveal it, but pondered for a moment and said:
"The Divine Talisman Sect was naturally on the Breaking Realm Ship; according to records, this sect was extremely powerful.
Although the disciples within the sect were considered few compared to other sects.
Every disciple was a genius, exceptionally strong.
Especially at that time, the Divine Talisman Sect was rumored to have two Primordial Spirit Realm Great Powers.
A sect so powerful naturally qualified to board the Breaking Realm Ship.
Even according to our ancestors' records, the Divine Talisman Sect didn't even participate in the sect war, directly having the qualification to board the ship."
"As for the Demon Clan and Sea Clan, these two groups are very mysterious.
It's rumored that as the cataclysm was imminent, the leaders of the Demon Clan, along with many Great Demons, disappeared overnight.
And the Sea Clan, residing deep in the ocean, is not something our Human Clan Cultivators can easily explore.
So no one knows what their final situation was."
Did the Demon Clan disappear in the end?
Lu Qing silently noted this upon hearing.
The reason he was curious about this was because of Little Li.
According to "Yan", Little Li's parents were likely high-ranking members of the Demon Clan.
If the Demon Clan, like the high-ranking human cultivators, chose to leave this world.
Then Little Li's parents might not have truly perished.
"Honored one, you just mentioned that there really exists other worlds beyond this realm?"
At this moment, Han Lingshuang asked.
"Naturally it is true; not only do other worlds exist, but they are vast beyond measure.
However, those worlds are very far from this world of ours.
Even Primordial Spirit Great Powers, without utilizing magical treasures, relying solely on their own Cultivation to travel, would likely need hundreds of years to reach another world."
Lu Qing replied.
His words were not mere fabrications.
After eliminating that gray-robed man, he acquired a Star Map from his Storage Bag.
From that Star Map, he learned that the world he currently resides in is located in a border wasteland that's dark.
Even within the Star Map, this area is marked as uncharted territory.
The distance to the nearest world from here is so vast it defies numerical description.
Much less traversing many unknown void and dark regions.
Presumably, this is also the reason those Great Powers in the previous Cultivation Era wanted to craft a Breaking Realm Ship.
Without guidance from the Star Map, even Primordial Spirit Great Powers would be helpless and despairing facing the vast dark starry sky.
"Even Primordial Spirit Great Powers would need hundreds of years of travel time?"
Han Lingshuang was directly shocked upon hearing this.
She is currently only in the Foundation Establishment Realm, and whether she can smoothly break through to the Golden Core Realm in the future is still uncertain.
So she truly could not imagine just how distant that distance is.
At the same time, she finally understood why the ancestors never returned once they left.
Such a far distance, even if the ancestors found foothold there.
Probably no one would be willing to spend so much time crossing the vast starry sky to return.
"Hmm, so you needn't worry about any issues arising from Cultivating the Cultivation Technique I passed to you.
The sect it belongs to is in an incredibly far-off world and is almost impossible to return to ours."
According to the markings on the acquired Star Map, Lu Qing knew.
The two gray-robed men's coming here was due to coincidence and the miraculous nature of the Void Flying Boat.
Their sect is in a great world called "Tianyuan."
That world is extremely far from here.
The Spirit Stones consumed solely to travel via Transmission Array midway are a considerable number.
Not to mention if the gray-robed men's sect could deduce their place of demise.
Even if they could deduce it, Lu Qing doesn't believe the opposite would expend so much for two Golden Core Realm disciples to venture to an unknown place.
"Ling Shuang takes heed of your teachings, honored one."
Han Lingshuang realized the importance of the Cultivation Technique within the Inheritance Jade Scroll in her hand once Lu Qing mentioned it again.
She instinctively held it tighter, solemnly responding.
Seeing her solemn demeanor, Lu Qing then showed a slight smile.
The reason he granted Han Lingshuang this opportunity was because he greatly admired this woman's character.
Especially when she willingly accepted Li Changbo's challenge for the sake of Cold Water City's citizens, Lu Qing regarded her highly.
Perhaps in many people's eyes, it was a foolish act.
At least even Lu Qing himself wouldn't sacrifice himself for others.
But that doesn't stop him from respecting such a character.
So he's willing to give a high-level Golden Core Realm heritage to assist Han Lingshuang in breaking through better.
This trip to Cold Water Palace granted Lu Qing great rewards.
However, it was also time to depart.
Immediately, he said to Han Lingshuang: "Palace Master, now that everything here is settled, it's time for me to take my leave."
