Chapter 833: Links To The Immortal Realm
Lian Dajian information was rather surprising to Lin Wu. He knew that the Long clan certainly had links, but there was no such link for the other top clans. Even the sects didn’t have any such links.
While there had been immortals that had been born in the sects, they had ascended a long time ago. And it was mostly in conclusion, thus the others in the world didn’t know much. If it were not for the fact that the sects publicized these matters themselves, no one would have even known.
Lin Wu knew that once someone reached a certain point in cultivation and was close to ascending, they would trigger the repulsion of the world. The world’s will would act and the restrictions would loosen up, finally allowing a cultivator in the immortal ascension realm to breakthrough and reach the immortal realm.
While their final destination in the immortal realm might vary, it was a common factor for most worlds at this level.
“You clan is descended from an immortal clan?” Lin Wu asked.
“No… Not an immortal clan!” Lian Dajian said. “Just an independent immortal cultivator.” He answered.
“How did it happen then?” Lin Wu couldn’t help but ask.
“Well… my great grandfather told us this a long time ago, and it was even recorded in the forbidden records of the clan. The Lian clan was actually started by the bastard grandson of an immortal.
This ancestor of ours supposedly came to the Ming Dao world thirty thousand years ago. Though that time line is something we are unsure of.” Lian Dajian explained.
“Thirty thousand years ago?” Lin Wu narrowed his eyes and tried to recall the memories of the Skull good.
“The time of the old empires?” Lin Wu muttered.
“King Lin Wu knows of it?” Lian Dajian was surprised.
That was a time that was very long ago and barely any records were left from them. After the invasion and the rise of the guardians, the three great guardian clans had mostly wiped out the traces of the past.
This was said to have been to protect the people of the Ming Dao world, but was sometimes debated to be a selfish move. And Lin Wu knew this truth too. The Guardian clans were ambitious and having been given the bloodlines of the guardian beasts deemed themselves the only ones worth ruling the world.
Thus, they needed to remove the traces of all the past powers so that there was no way for others to use that and rise up along with them.
At first, this opposition was very strong, but over the years, it had weakened considerably. And now there were actually two clans that were close to reaching the same level as that of the Long clan just in the Long continent itself.
Lin Wu was sure that the other two continents might be in the same position.
There had been peace for a long time and prosperity could also be said to be there. Thus, the rise of new powers was simply inevitable.
“Of course I do…” Lin Wu nodded his head.
“Patriarch, King Lin Wu might be the oldest being in our world. He is said to have come a long time ago.” Elder Ruanjian whispered.
“I know…” Lian Dajian had almost forgotten that he wasn’t just talking to a beast king, but rather and old, old cultivator.
‘An old monster older than anyone in this world… just what secrets are hidden in his mind?’ Lian Dajian couldn’t help but wonder.
“Putting this aside, how exactly would you contact the immortals?” Lin Wu questioned. “I doubt the immortal would respond after such a long separation.”
“We know that too, King Lin Wu. And thus weren’t willing to bet on it. Our ancestor left behind a way to contact the immortal.” Lian Dajian answered.
“And what might that be?” Lin Wu asked, feeling truly interested.
After all, going to the immortal world was one of his goals, and he had even promised Yun Bai that he would allow his clan to escape this world. If he could actually get in contact with people from the immortal world and get some other way to leave this place, it would be rather nice.
‘Though there might be other dangers in this too…’ Lin Wu thought to himself.
Greed was something most beings had, or would develop naturally. Humans had it innately and would certainly desire something that they liked. Lin Wu was not sure whether the people of the immortal realm would end up coveting what he had.
After all, he himself was an anomaly and the Taiji Celestial’s Tomb was something that even a great cultivator like the Skull God desired. He didn’t think that he would be safe from the others desiring too.
‘I don’t think I should let them contact the immortal world… it could become problematic,’ Lin Wu decided to himself beforehand.
Lian Dajian was unaware that now he was potentially in danger.
“Our ancestor left behind a flute. As his last words he said that if we ever ran into great trouble where the clan itself was being threated into non-existence, we are to use it. While he didn’t say who it would reach, he did say it was an immortal.” Lian Dajian explained.
“Our guess is that the flute was something the ancestor was given by his father. And given the status of the ancestor as a bastard child, he couldn’t be seen openly being favored. It might have been the only thing he got from his father.” Elder Ruanjian hypothesized.
“I see…” Lin Wu muttered. “We could certainly try that.” He said.
“Yes, it is worth a try at least.” Lian Dajian spoke.
“Though… I don’t see why you need me for this, when you could have done this on your own too?” Lin Wu asked, finding it a bit suspicious.
“Well… there is an issue with it… we don’t know how to use it.” Lian Dajian replied.
“What?” Lin Wu found it ridiculous.
