Seeing Zhang Zhengkun’s reaction was so great, Li Nan was also very surprised.
Having known Zhang Zhengkun for such a long time, in Li Nan’s impression, Zhang Zhengkun had always been a very calm and steady person, he had never seen the other party so excited.
“Pavilion Master Zhang, what does it mean to say this? Have you heard of the Mother Fairy?”
Li Nan asked suspiciously.
Zhang Zhengkun nodded and said with a gloomy expression, “The Shura Mother Immortal! It is the most supreme totem of the Shura Palace!”
“Xiu Luo Mother Immortal?!”
This was the first time that Li Nan had heard this complete name.
Afterwards, Zhang Zhenkun told Li Nan some things about the Xiu Luo Mother Immortal.
According to legend, eight thousand years ago, before the Heavenly Gate existed, this world was originally one, and there was no distinction between the secular world and the True Martial World.
At that time, the Xiu Luo Mother Immortal was the most powerful person in this world, and her cultivation level was already ranked among the Great Luo, and she was called the only immortal in this world!
Originally, with the success of the Mother Immortal, it was enough to win the adoration of everyone in this world.
Unfortunately, the Mother Immortal was not satisfied with her current status and wanted to attain a higher level of cultivation!
The Mother Immortal had heard that beyond this world, there was a heaven beyond the heavens, and that above the Da Luo, there was the Immortal above the Immortals.
And the Xiu Luo Mother Immortal’s greatest ambition is to ascend to the Heavens beyond, to become a higher level of existence above the Da Luo!
However, all the resources in this world are no longer sufficient to enable the Cultivating Mother Immortal to reach the next level.
Even the most spiritually dense blessed lands and the most profound techniques in this world could not help the Cultivating Mother Immortal rise to the next level.
In this entire world, the Cultivating Mother Immortal was already a little too high up.
For ordinary people, this high place would be a source of pride and honour, but for the Cultivating Mother Immortal, it was a kind of despair, a deep despair!
In this despair, the Cultivating Mother Immortal was close to going off the rails.
In the end, the Shura Mother Immortal made an extremely crazy decision, that is, she would trade all the lives in the entire world for a chance to take a step up!
She would use the lives of all the people in the world as a guide to soar beyond the heavens!
Such a move would be a great catastrophe for the whole world.
It is said that nearly 70% of the world’s population died in such a cataclysmic event.
It was only after the world’s strongest people joined forces, and with the self-sacrifice of a super-powerful person whose strength was comparable to that of the Shura Mother Immortal, that the Shura Mother Immortal was finally suppressed, bringing an end to the catastrophe!
After listening to Zhang Zhengkun’s account, Li Nan’s heart was extremely complicated.
Although it was only a verbal account, Li Nan could still feel how cruel and tragic the battle was back then!
Seventy percent of the world’s population was killed!
What a concept!
That Shura Mother Immortal had killed so many people for her own selfish interests.
And now, those people like Chen Lingjun and Yuan Qianshan were even trying to revive such a madman, this was simply abominable!
At this moment, even Zhang Zhenkun’s face was extremely gloomy and serious.
“With the strength of martial artists on Earth today, if an ancient superpower like the Shura Mother Immortal were to be resurrected, then there would be no one in the entire world who could fight with him! At that time, I’m afraid that the catastrophe of 8,000 years ago will repeat itself!”
Zhang Zhengkun said in a low voice.
Hearing these words, Li Nan’s heart could not help but be worried.
When he thought that everyone in the world might die in this catastrophe, he felt a shiver run down his spine.
And then, something suddenly occurred to Li Nan.
“But, there is something I don’t quite understand. What does Chen Lingjun and the others’ desire to resurrect the Shura Mother Immortal have to do with the Chen Family?”
Li Nan asked in confusion.
This was what he couldn’t understand the most, even though their Chen Family was rich, they were just a powerful family in the secular world, and didn’t have any gongfu, nor did they have any strong people or anything like that.
According to reason, the Chen family had nothing to do with the Cultivator Mother Immortal.
But now, according to the rhetoric in the conversation between Chen Lingjun and Yuan Qianshan, it seems that the Chen family has an extremely close connection with their master plan to resurrect the Shura Mother Immortal.
This made people feel very unbelievable.
Zhang Zhengkun’s brow was also locked in a frown.
“Although I haven’t fully figured this out yet, but guessing that they have wasted so much effort to obtain the Chen Family, I’m only afraid that it is related to the Heavenly Gate!”
Zhang Zhenkun said after thinking about it.
“Heaven’s Gate?!”
Li Nan was even more puzzled.
In his perception, the Heavenly Gate was just a barrier separating the secular world from the True Martial World, and he really could not figure out what such a barrier had to do with Chen Lingjun’s plan.
I only heard Zhang Zhengkun explain, “You know, in fact, eight thousand years ago, the Secular World and the True Martial World were one. The Heavenly Gate didn’t exist, so naturally there was no distinction between the Secular Realm and the True Martial Realm!”
“So? ……”
Li Nan was stunned.
This was the first time he had heard of such a thing.
Then, something else suddenly occurred to Li Nan.
“Wait a minute, it says that the Heavenly Gate did not exist eight thousand years ago. That means that it was from after the Shura Mother Immortal was suppressed that the Heavenly Gate appeared. So, there is some kind of special connection between the Shura Mother Immortal and the Heavenly Gate, right?”
Li Nan spoke out the speculation in his mind.
Zhang Zhenkun gave Li Nan a meaningful glance, and then nodded his head.
“That’s right, there is indeed a definite connection between them! In fact, the original meaning of the Heavenly Gate’s existence was to suppress the Shura Mother Immortal!”
“What ……”
This time, Li Nan was completely surprised.
Such a statement was greatly out of Li Nan’s expectation.
Only to hear Zhang Zhenkun continue, “Back then, after the Shura Mother Immortal had achieved greatness, her entire body had exceeded the realm of ordinary life. She fed on aura to strengthen herself. In a world where aura was abundant, she was the true master of the world!”
“Therefore, the powerful people at that time came up with a way to deal with the Shura Mother Immortal, which was to construct a special cage to cut off all the aura supply around the Shura Mother Immortal, weakening her to the lowest point. Only then will the whole world have a chance to win!”
Hearing these secret secrets, Li Nan only felt a chill run down his back.
He suddenly thought of many things and finally understood the meaning of the Heavenly Gate’s existence.
“So, truth be told, our entire secular world is actually just …… just a cage?!”
Li Nan uttered these words incredulously.
Zhang Zhengkun hesitated for a moment, but eventually nodded his head.
“That’s right, exactly!”
“Back then, all the strongest people in the world joined forces to block and besiege the Shura Mother Immortal in a combined effort, before eventually building such a heavenly gate to trap the Shura Mother Immortal within.”
“It was only after another thousand years of trapping that the spiritual energy in the Shura Mother Immortal’s body was depleted to near exhaustion. It was only until that time that the world’s strongest finally had their final chance!”
After hearing these words, Li Nan’s heart was incomparably complicated.
Those strong people had waited for thousands of years until after the power of the Shura Mother Immortal had been completely exhausted before they had a chance, it was really hard to imagine how strong that Shura Mother Immortal should have been back then!
What Li Nan didn’t expect was that the secular world he had been living in was just a cage to trap the Cultivating Mother Immortal.
This simply made Li Nan’s entire worldview collapse!
Not just Li Nan, I am afraid that if everyone in the secular world were to hear this, they would all feel the same way as Li Nan.
However, Li Nan was no longer in the mood to consider the matter of the cage.
What he was most concerned about now was the matter of the Cultivating Mother Immortal.
If a monster of the level of the Xiu Luo Mother Immortal was really allowed to reappear on earth, it would definitely be the true end of days!
“So, what Chen Lingjun and the others are planning to do now is to make a move from above the Heavenly Gate?”
Li Nan voiced out his speculation.
Zhang Zhenkun nodded his head.
“That’s right, with the life level of the Shura Mother Immortal back then, even if the world’s powerhouses joined forces at the same time, they would not be able to completely destroy it, and could only seal it in the secular world. In the absence of sufficient spiritual energy, the life of the Shura Mother Immortal would remain under a state of silence. However, once there is enough spiritual energy, that Shura Mother Immortal will …… reappear on earth!”
Zhang Zhenkun said with a gloomy face.
“So, as said, if Chen Lingjun and the others really have the intention to resurrect the Xiu Luo Mother Immortal, then they will definitely have to start with the Heavenly Gate!”
Li Nan frowned, “Then what should we do now, we must stop them to do so!”
“Of course! Of course we have to stop it! However, the main thing we need to do now is to find out what their next step is before we do so!”
Zhang Zhenkun said.
In fact, it wasn’t that Zhang Zhenkun hadn’t thought of making a direct move against the Shura Palace and giving Chen Lingjun and the others a kick in the teeth.
However, the feasibility of this matter was open to question.
First of all, the Xiu Luo Palace was one of the Three Greatest of True Martial Arts, and had many disciples under it, and its status in the entire True Martial World was extremely high.
Now, without any evidence, it would not be wise for them to take action against such a great sect based on mere speculation.
Moreover, even if they were to forcefully take action, Yuan Qianshan was now at the cultivation level of a Golden Immortal and was the strongest person in the world.
Coupled with the hundreds of thousands of disciples of the Shura Palace.
They were afraid that the Divine Moon Pavilion would not stand a chance against the other side.
Therefore, it was simply not feasible to make an early move against the Xiu Luo Palace.
Even if they were to make a move, their Divine Moon Pavilion would have to hold the other party’s hand and win the support of all the sects in the entire True Martial World before they could do so!
Li Nan had also understood Zhang Zhengkun’s situation.
“I understand, then all of this, I’ll be counting on Pavilion Master Zhang!”
Originally, Li Nan thought that this time it was just a personal vendetta between himself and Chen Lingjun.
But now, it seemed that this entire matter was already about the survival of the entire world!
