Sure enough, the man showed no impatience towards Wang Heng's questions and gave answers one by one, including the current situation of the Immortal King's Mansion and so on.
"I heard from the ancient immortal trees that my father is not in the mansion. Where did he go?"
The True Immortal replied, "Lord Immortal King was invited by a good friend to go to the border. It is adjacent to the foreign land and there seems to be some unusual movements there recently. Lord Immortal King's presence there can greatly deter the foreign thieves."
Chapter 5: Immortal King's Residence
"What, the border? A foreign land?"
Wang Heng was deeply shocked. According to the official history of the Ancient Era of Immortals, the demise of the Immortal King Wang, who mastered the Yuanshen Sword Technique, was related to a tentative attack from a foreign land.
In one battle, the Immortal King surnamed Wang used the "Quelling Rebellion Art" to show his great power, killed the immortal king of the foreign land, repelled the foreign army, and put down the unrest. Therefore, the Yuanshen Sword Art, one of the three great sword arts, was named "Quelling Rebellion Art" and went down in history.
Although the Immortal King surnamed Wang did not die on the spot, he ended up seriously injured and dying. He could only linger on until the late period of the Ancient Immortal Era, when he passed away in meditation. From dust to dust, from earth to earth.
In the turbulent ancient era of later generations, the Wang family had become a family of true immortals, and no one mentioned the fact that their ancestor was an immortal king.
No one knows what happened in the end, but one can guess that the Immortal King was severely injured, and the Wang family must have had a hard time. Even the deeds of their ancestor the Immortal King have been blurred and erased.
Thinking of this, Wang Heng felt a great deal of pressure. If the unusual movements in the foreign lands mentioned by the True Immortals were really the prelude to the exploratory attacks from foreign lands in the official history, then his father, the Immortal King, would soon suffer a heavy blow, and the Wang family, the Immortal King family, would also face decline.
It should be noted that the rise of an Immortal King is always accompanied by endless blood and gore, and will inevitably make many enemies. If the Wang family's Immortal King falls, loses the strength to fight, and struggles to death, then the Wang family will face terrifying pressure.
As the biological son of the Immortal King, he is placed with high hopes by his father, and most of the pressure from the outside world will probably fall on him.
"Sir, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing Wang Heng's frown and flickering eyes, the True Immortal beside him asked with concern, thinking that he was concerned about the safety of his father, the Immortal King.
Hearing this, Wang Heng's eyebrows relaxed, he regained his composure, coughed lightly, and then responded: "Nothing, I just feel that the title of "foreign land" is so familiar, it gives people a kind of pressure that makes people breathless."
“It is well known that the foreign land is powerful. There are a terrifying number of immortal kings and immortals in charge. Moreover, they are good at fighting. In the past three eras, they have annexed and destroyed many ancient worlds, killing people with blood and leaving billions of corpses. They have had friction and collisions with the fairyland and our world. It can be said that they are full of ferocity.
At the worst time, creatures at the level of Immortal Kings died in the battle. If our world did not have several famous adults and a group of Immortal Kings in charge, the foreign lands would have attacked us long ago.
In such a ferocious world, there is a sense of danger that will be revealed invisibly. It is normal for those who hear it to be hesitant and frightened. "The True Immortal explained.
Wang Heng smiled but did not respond immediately. Then he casually said, "The several great men you mentioned who are famous throughout the heavens, are they the Immortal King of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the Immortal King of the Endless, and the Ancestral Sacrifice Spirit?"
The man nodded.
“These adults and my master are giants among the Immortal Kings. Their reputations are mighty throughout the heavens and myriad worlds. Even if there are many immortal kings in foreign lands, they will never dare to go to war with our world.” The True Immortal said confidently.
Seeing how confident he was, Wang Heng couldn't help but sneer in his heart. If everyone in this world thought so, including those Immortal Kings.
Then when the foreign army comes to attack, that will be the day when this world will be defeated.
“Oh, sir, these gentlemen are supreme beings in the ancient world. All living things must pay homage to them. You cannot call them by their names directly, otherwise it will cause strange phenomena and be known to the Immortal King.
This place is shrouded in the pressure of the Immortal King, so the strange phenomena are not obvious. If you go outside, you should pay attention to this point. "
Wang Heng nodded, indicating that he understood.
While the two were talking, they had already left the Immortal King Medicine Garden. Under the guidance of the True Immortal, they passed through one magnificent palace after another. Wang Heng didn't know where the other party was going to take him, so he just followed silently. From the current conversation, it seemed that this immortal should have no ill will towards him. Of course, this might be a disguise.
However, Wang Heng felt that he was powerless and as a true immortal, there was no need for him to pretend to plan anything.
After walking for a long time and passing countless towering ancient buildings, there was still no sign of the end of the Immortal King's Mansion. This made Wang Heng extremely shocked. If it were in the world where he was, this mansion would be comparable to many big cities.
It makes sense. This is the residence of a powerful Immortal King. It is basic for it to be a world of its own. Just compare it with Panwang City, which is the home of Panwang in the Immortal Realm.
Sure enough, under the guidance of the True Immortal, Wang Heng saw one prosperous scene after another.
The Colosseum, the Chaos Inn, and the ancient streets filled with the atmosphere of immortals, with people coming and going, cars and horses, and an endless stream of traffic. All kinds of things were displayed for sale, all kinds of strange and unheard-of, which really broadened Wang Heng's horizons.
Whenever he and the True Immortal passed by, the people around them would bow to him respectfully, obviously knowing that he was the Immortal King's biological son.
There were even creatures, young and old, who wanted to come over and chat, but they were all stopped by the True Immortal and rejected one by one.
He did not want the fact that the Immortal King and his son had lost their memories to be known to everyone. Such a thing would undermine the dignity of the Immortal King.
After walking for a long time, the two came to a pair of huge gates. Standing on the mottled stone slabs stained with dark red, looking up at the pair of sky-reaching gates, one can deeply feel one's own smallness and insignificance, as if one is an ant looking up at an unreachable peak.
Seeing Wang Heng looking up and not moving for a long time, the immortal suddenly spoke.
"This gate was made from a famous ancient immortal mountain several epochs ago. It was born on a stormy night with lightning and thunder. As soon as it was born, it triggered endless strange phenomena, causing the immortals to fight each other for the treasure.
At that time, you had already reached the realm of the Immortal King, with might and power in all directions, and respected by all the people in the universe. With just one hand, you defeated all the contenders and held the Immortal Mountain in your hands. Thus, there were these two gates to the Immortal King's Palace."
Wang Heng nodded, his heart restless for a long time. If the highest peak in his original world was moved here, it would probably not be as good as one ten-thousandth or one hundred-billionth of the peak of this world.
What kind of dream did I have? What kind of vast world of gods and demons did I end up in?
When he followed the True Immortal up the wide and long steps, the sound of the Tao suddenly rang in his ears and echoed in his heart. His whole body reacted, and wisps of immortal aura emanated. His soul was even more intoxicated and was about to attain enlightenment.
However, the True Immortal at the side stepped in and stopped him from attaining enlightenment.
"Young Master has lost all his memories, and needs to start all over again. It is not appropriate to enter the realm of enlightenment now, as it will be detrimental to your future path.
Moreover, this is not a good place. The stone slabs under our feet were taken from the battlefield of the Immortal King. Some of them have been soaked in the blood of the Immortal King and have long been spiritual. It is possible that they will lead you astray. "
Chapter 6 Xunyang
Wang Heng woke up in shock, his heart skipping a beat. The stone splashed with the blood of the Immortal King would become a supreme treasure even if it was originally ordinary.
However, in the Immortal King’s mansion, they were just bricks and tiles for the floor.
This shows how wealthy and powerful an Immortal King is.
He nodded slightly and followed the True Immortal's steps.
After climbing up the stairs step by step, the two passed through the magnificent immortal building and entered a small path. Along the way, whether it was the house, the floor, or the pillars, they were all made of supreme immortal materials.
On both sides of the road stand flower beds planted with magical herbs, emitting rich and fragrant scents that add a touch of vitality to the solemn and majestic palace.
Wang Heng was admiring these scenes that he had never seen before, as if he was visiting a tourist attraction.
His fellow True Immortals did not have any suspicion about his reaction. After all, it had been confirmed that the Immortal King and his son had accidentally lost their memories.
Soon, they arrived at the destination of this trip, which was a tall and majestic palace that soared into the clouds. It was made of some special metal. From afar, the road was flowing and the fairy mist was curling. It was extremely extraordinary. It was obviously a treasure land of immortals.
"This palace is the immortal palace where the strongest general under the Immortal King, the Quasi-Immortal King Xunyang, resides. With Senior Xunyang's strength, he will be able to conduct the most detailed inspection for you and ensure that there will be no mistakes." The man who was perfect and almost like a demon spoke.
As a true immortal under the Wang family, he was well aware of the high hopes that the Wang family's Immortal King had for his son. He hoped that Wang Heng would become the strongest in the future, replicate the Golden Crow clan of the Immortal Realm, and create a myth of two Immortal Kings.
Therefore, there is no room for error.
Being in the realm of True Immortal, he could not see the problem with Wang Heng, so he asked Xunyang, who was in the realm of Quasi Immortal King, to take a look, to avoid any mistakes that would cause him to be blamed after the Immortal King returned.
A mere True Immortal cannot withstand the wrath of an Immortal King.
After explaining the reason to the guards of the fairy palace, they quickly made way for them. The two of them strode out and entered the mysterious fairy palace.
The palace is magnificent with carved beams and painted buildings, and various reliefs that are dizzying to look at.
If you don’t know, you would think you have entered a luxurious palace.
Wang Heng thought, could it be that this Xunyang Quasi-Immortal King also likes the mortal world? In his imagination, the creatures in the immortal realm should be the kind of noble people who are devoted to the Tao and transcend the mundane world, and would not focus on anything else. However, the scene he saw was completely different from what he imagined.
Just as he was thinking about this, a golden crow engraved on the wall of the hall seemed to come alive, suddenly emitting a deafening bird cry and releasing terrifying heat, like a scorching sun in the sky.
"boom!"
Flames shot up into the sky, and a golden crow actually rushed out and circled above the hall, which made Wang Heng marvel at the sight. However, the immortal next to him was used to this and seemed to have expected this to happen.
The Golden Crow flew across the sky, its feathers of light vibrating and burning with flames, slowly landing on a person's arm, and then standing on it, quietly combing its divine feathers.
Wang Heng then saw that a middle-aged man in a green Taoist robe and with black hair had appeared in the hall at some point and was looking at them with a little surprise.
"Xunyang, nice to meet you, sir."
The middle-aged man walked towards the two of them and saluted Wang Heng. He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, long black hair casually scattered, and a tall and straight body, like an insurmountable mountain, giving people an extremely heavy feeling of oppression.
Quasi-Immortal King is very close to Immortal King. None of the creatures who can reach this step are simple. They are all the best in an era or even several eras, and possess the tyrannical strength to look down on the True Immortals.
This is also the reason why the evil man brought Wang Heng here.
"Hmm? What happened to you, young master?"
Xun Yang immediately noticed something strange about Wang Heng and saw a strange look in his eyes. This was a little abnormal. You know, the two of them had known each other for a long time and shouldn't be so unfamiliar.
“Senior Xunyang, please understand. Just now, the young master went to the herb garden to collect herbs. He unexpectedly awakened his spiritual talent. However, he also paid a price for it. He lost all his memories. I dare not neglect such a major event, so I brought the young master here. I hope you will make the decision.” The evil man bowed to the middle-aged man and told him what happened to Wang Heng.
"The spirit's talent is awakened, but all memories are lost?" The middle-aged man understood immediately and quickly turned his gaze to where Wang Heng's head was.
"My lord, I am sorry."
He first apologized, and then a brilliant fairy light shone from between his eyebrows, and a golden crow flew out from it, carrying a blazing flame, as if a sun had descended to the earth.
Wang Heng only felt a burning sensation on his face, and then the golden crow rushed into the place where his soul was, flapped its wings, and flew past quickly.
After a moment, the burning sensation disappeared, and along with it, the three-legged golden crow.
Although he didn't know what happened, Wang Heng could vaguely guess the purpose of this quasi-immortal king, which was nothing more than to explore whether there were any signs of external invasion in his soul.
No matter what the result is, Wang Heng can only pretend that he knows nothing.
Fortunately, the answer Xunyang got was similar to that of the evil man, and he did not discover the secret of the body being one but the soul.
“Before he left, the Immortal King had instructed me to protect the young master and not to make any mistakes, and to help the young master perfect his cultivation and embark on the path to becoming the strongest.
Who knew that such a thing would happen suddenly in the middle of the process? At this moment, although the young master had awakened his spiritual talent, he had lost his memory. This was most likely because the soul could not withstand the sudden expansion, resulting in damage to its origin.
I'm afraid this will affect the young master's future path, Senior Xunyang, what do you think about this matter?" The evil man spoke, wanting to hear the opinion of the quasi-immortal king in front of him.
After looking at Wang Heng for a few times, Xun Yang replied, “In my opinion, the awakening of the Yuanshen talent is a blessing for you, and for the Immortal King.
He possesses such a powerful spiritual power before embarking on the path of cultivation. He has already met the requirements for practicing the Soul Sword Technique. When he really starts practicing, God knows how powerful he will be. At least in terms of soul, he can crush his opponents at will.
As for the problem of the damage to the origin of the soul, I don't think it is a big deal. You can help the young master cultivate the Tao first, and it won't be too late to deal with this problem after the Immortal King returns."
"What you said is absolutely right. The problems with the Yuanshen are not a problem at all for the Immortal King. I am worrying too much."
Having said that, the evil man said goodbye to Xunyang and was about to leave with Wang Heng.
He felt much more at ease after receiving guidance from a quasi-immortal king.
Next, you just need to help Wang Heng restore his previous state, then you can choose the Tao seed, and then perfectly cultivate the Tao and truly embark on the path of Taoism.
Chapter 7 Metal Temple
The two left Xunyang Fairy Palace. According to the evil man, their next destination was the Wang family's preaching hall.
