Cultivation: I Signed in with the Talent of an Immortal at the Start

Chapter 145: Ancient Demon Abyss Official Establishment of Diplomatic Relations

“Back then, the Yuanji Heavenly Sect was also incredibly glorious, with strength no less than our Kunlun lineage.”

Real Person Lingyun said with emotion, “And it was such a powerful Holy Land that, overnight, it turned into a demonic lair, with thousands of miles of the Holy Land becoming ruins, and not a single living soul surviving within the Holy Land.”

He learned all of this from an Old Ancestor of Kunlun.

The top floor of the Sect’s Hall of Books also contained records about this matter.

Han Xuanji frowned, realizing that the matter was not simple, and asked, “What kind of calamity was this, that even such a Holy Land was completely unable to resolve it…?”

“This was a calamity of Heaven and Earth; naturally, it could not be resolved by human power.”

Immediately after, Real Person Lingyun did not keep them in suspense, “And all of this is related to even more ancient matters.”

“In the Primordial Era, the Taixu Spirit Realm was invaded by the Demon Race, and the Kyushu Continent was the initial point of the Demon Race’s invasion. Demonic Abysses were born one after another, hundreds of millions of living beings perished, and blood flowed like rivers across the Kyushu Continent.”

“Fortunately, five True Immortals descended, setting up Restrictions to Seal the five most powerful Demonic Abysses, and then creating the five great Dao traditions, teaching the world. These were the predecessors of the five great Holy Lands, and the fundamental meaning of our Holy Lands’ existence is to each suppress a Primordial Demonic Abyss.”

“Something went wrong with the Primordial Demonic Abyss suppressed by the Yuanji Heavenly Sect. Not only was it itself destroyed, but it also brought disaster to the world. Fortunately, the four great Holy Lands, together with an unparalleled expert, re-repaired the Restriction at that time, but it is unknown how many people sacrificed themselves.”

“From that day on, our various Holy Lands dared not have any slack in our hearts.”

“Senior, you see that although my Kunlun has many experts, these Seniors and Ancestral Masters almost all need to be permanently stationed in front of the Demonic Abyss, integrating themselves with the formation to maintain the Seal. They fear any mishap that could lead to the Demonic Abyss losing control and causing a great disaster. Therefore…”

Real Person Lingyun’s tone was heavy and helpless, “Our various Holy Lands may seem mighty, but in reality, the power we can freely mobilize is far less than outsiders imagine. It’s not that we don’t care about worldly affairs, but rather that our responsibility is too great.”

“If the Demonic Abyss were to stir, that would be the true great calamity.”

“So that’s how it is.”

Han Xuanji nodded, and at the same time, he guessed something, “So, the Blood Spirit Demon Lord escaped from that Demonic Abyss?”

Real Person Lingyun nodded and said, “The Blood Spirit Demon Lord caused a bloody storm in Central Continent back then, and even began to explore the secrets of the Demonic Abyss. In the end, an Ancestral Master of my Kunlun, who was guarding the Demonic Abyss, had to take action to suppress him. However, this Devil Head was quite cunning and escaped to the Sinking Demon Abyss, which is precisely the Primordial Demonic Abyss that the Yuanji Heavenly Sect once suppressed.”

Purple Sun Old Ancestor, who was beside them, also spoke, “We thought this Devil Head would surely die upon entering it, but we didn’t expect him to find a way back.”

Speaking of this, Purple Sun Old Ancestor also felt a lingering fear.

Fortunately, the Blood Spirit Demon Lord did not completely destroy the Demonic Abyss Restriction.

If he had attracted creatures from the Demonic Abyss and caused a disaster, it would have been a calamity that would throw the world into chaos and cause all living beings to fall.

In fact, when the Kunlun Immortal Sect encircled and suppressed the Blood Spirit Demon Lord that day, they had already drawn some experts who were guarding the Demonic Abyss.

If they had sent all of them, once the Primordial Demonic Abyss had any mishap, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

And normally, the Sinking Demon Abyss also had experts guarding it, with the four great Holy Lands taking turns to assign people to stand guard.

However, the Blood Spirit Demon Lord was powerful.

When he escaped from the Demonic Abyss, he took advantage of the unguarded moment of the expert guarding the Demonic Abyss and ambushed him, severely injuring him.

Han Xuanji could also feel the heavy responsibility conveyed between the lines.

He who wishes to wear the crown must bear its weight.

The four great Holy Lands truly lived up to the name “Holy Land.”

It was Han Xuanji who had misunderstood them before.

“The Holy Lands have suppressed the Demonic Abyss for tens of thousands of years, protecting the peace of this realm; their Karma is immeasurable.”

Han Xuanji slowly spoke, his tone filled with respect.

This respect was for the countless Kunlun Seniors who sacrificed themselves to protect all living beings.

The world said that the Holy Lands were high and mighty, occupying high positions but doing nothing.

It seemed that the world was indeed ignorant.

In reality, the Holy Lands naturally could not widely publicize such matters.

If the matter of the Primordial Demonic Abyss caught the attention of some madmen, it would instead be a disaster.

“This Han was previously unaware of the reasons, and thought that the esteemed Holy Lands were high and mighty, not caring about worldly affairs; indeed, I was ignorant.”

Han Xuanji stood up and bowed slightly in greeting.

“Senior, you speak too highly. Guarding the Demonic Abyss is precisely the meaning of our Kunlun’s existence.”

Real Person Lingyun quickly stood up to return the bow.

Then, he changed the subject, looking at Han Xuanji with a hint of eagerness in his eyes, “Senior’s cultivation is profound, your immortal techniques are exquisite, and your Sword Dao has reached the pinnacle, truly making us marvel. However, our Kunlun has a long Legacy, with countless treasured classics and Secret Realms of blessed lands within. If Senior does not disdain us, could you…?”

Real Person Lingyun did not state it explicitly, but the intention to recruit was obvious.

Although their Kunlun Immortal Sect had many experts, they would not stir up more.

Especially this unfathomable peerless Sword Immortal, they naturally wanted to bring him into their ranks, which was crucial whether for resisting the Demonic Abyss or strengthening the Sect’s power.

Most importantly, Han Xuanji’s past achievements all proved that he possessed a benevolent heart to protect all living beings.

Real Person Lingyun felt that after saying so much, Han Xuanji should not refuse.

At this moment, he stared intently at Han Xuanji.

Han Xuanji’s heart was as clear as a mirror, and he naturally understood the other party’s meaning.

“This Han is accustomed to being a free spirit, so I’ll pass… However, if Kunlun faces difficulties, you can always inform me.”

Han Xuanji politely refused.

Are you kidding?

If he joined the Kunlun Immortal Sect and then received benefits from them, wouldn’t he have to give something back?

Although he respected these people, he was unwilling to become like them, guarding the Demonic Abyss all day long.

Moreover, he could still sign in even if he didn’t join the Kunlun Immortal Sect…

Of course, if the Kunlun Immortal Sect was in trouble, he would not stand by and do nothing.

Han Xuanji politely refused but was willing to establish a good relationship.

Although Real Person Lingyun felt a little disappointed, he also knew that this matter could not be forced.

A sincere smile appeared on his face, “Senior is righteous. You are welcome to stay in my Kunlun Immortal Sect for these days. If you have any needs, feel free to speak.”

Real Person Lingyun felt that if Han Xuanji stayed in the Kunlun Immortal Sect for a period of time, he might change his mind.

Then, he seemed to feel it was not enough and continued, “The Shenxuan Sect is also a renowned Righteous Path Sect. My Kunlun has long admired your name. My Kunlun is willing to form an eternal alliance with the Shenxuan Sect, exchanging resources and knowledge, and the exchange of Disciples between us would be a wonderful thing.”

“Hmm.”

Han Xuanji nodded silently.

“To establish diplomatic relations with Kunlun is truly a blessing for my Sect.”

Without the slightest hesitation, Han Xuanji agreed to this matter.

For the Shenxuan Sect, it was undoubtedly an “overreach.”

Although the Shenxuan Sect could be considered a renowned Holy Land in Eastern Azure Continent, in Kyushu, it was only considered second-rate, and if one looked at the entire world, it was not worth mentioning.

However, the Kunlun Immortal Sect was such a colossal entity, a top-tier Holy Land in the entire world.

If a Disciple from the Shenxuan Sect could “study abroad” at the Kunlun Immortal Sect, becoming an “exchange student,” it could be said to be a great Opportunity.

Han Xuanji had no reason to refuse.

“If Xuan Weizi and the others knew, I wonder how happy they would be.”
