Chapter 836: The Ancient Immortal Extinction Mystery

It is well known that the wonders of the Xuanhuang Realm are, for the most part, the remnants of fallen cultivators.

This is what is referred to as the wonders of man.

However, the wonders of the earth and the wonders of the heavens are essentially manifestations of the fundamental Dao of the Xuanhuang World.

The Kun-Qian Bone Hand on Ou Shangtian's body, capable of reversing heaven and earth, has clearly surpassed the realm of human wonders, reaching a level close to that of the wonders of heaven.

Yet, it still retains the form of a human hand bone.

This raises an intriguing question.

Think about the heavenly wonders encountered in the past—what did they look like?

The [Derivation Law Jade], the [Sword],

As well as the [Dao Pattern Compass], [Yin-Yang Jade], [Primordial Qi of Heaven and Earth], and so on.

All of them are entirely heavenly creations, devoid of any 'human' characteristics.

"The bones of man, close to the wonders of heaven."

"Perhaps only the legendary Immortals could achieve such a thing..."

Li Fan couldn't help but think.

Moreover, the shape of the hand bone displayed by Ou Daozi seemed somewhat familiar...

A flicker of blue light shimmered across the Dao-Deviation Stone, conjuring a memory.

It was the White Bone Pioneer Realm, which had once been used to deceive the people of the Li Realm.

Back then, among the many advanced realms available for lease, Li Fan had specifically chosen this one because of its uniquely shocking scenery.

Unlike other advanced realms, which depicted picturesque celestial paradises, this one was built upon a colossal left hand made of white bone.

The surroundings were filled with endless darkness and eerie silence, with the giant white-bone hand floating in the boundless void.

It exuded an aura of profound mystery, eeriness, and unfathomable depth.

According to Immortal Zimiao, who sold this White Bone Pioneer Realm, the inspiration for this scene originated from the legendary "Immortal" who, with a single thought, had created the entire Fallen Immortal Realm.

Li Fan compared the two images.

A perfect match!

A chill ran down Li Fan’s spine.

This was no mere coincidence.

Anything related to Immortals was now of extreme interest to him.

After some thought, his clone Ji Shaoli contacted the cultivator who called himself Immortal Zimiao, using the excuse of renting the White Bone Pioneer Realm.

Rather than using an anonymous alias, he directly revealed his identity as Ji Shaoli.

Unlike before, when Zimiao had been indifferent, this time he was extremely enthusiastic.

"Senior, have you heard of me?" Ji Shaoli asked with curiosity.

"Heh, since I do business, how could I not investigate the potential clients across all the regions of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance?" Zimiao replied with a chuckle.

"After all, there aren't many cultivators willing to spend vast amounts of contribution points annually to lease a advance realm."

Ji Shaoli immediately understood.

Originally, just winning the Fixed Fish Head Prize with a few million contribution points wouldn’t have been enough to attract Zimiao's attention. It was likely that in recent times, his clone had been exploiting foresight to speculate wildly in the market and amass wealth, which had drawn Zimiao’s notice.

Ji Shaoli, however, was not the least bit concerned. Instead, he put on a show of being extremely interested in the White Bone Pioneer Realm.

He immediately proposed leasing it for a century or even purchasing it permanently.

Zimiao’s enthusiasm grew even more.

He was now almost completely forthcoming, answering nearly every question Ji Shaoli asked.

Thus, Ji Shaoli gradually came to understand the origins of this White Bone Pioneer Realm and why it bore an almost identical resemblance to Ou Shangtian’s [Kun-Qian Bone Hand].

"A True Immortal's Molted Remains?" Ji Shaoli asked with keen interest.

"Precisely," Zi Miao replied enthusiastically. "The Immortal Sage, in his elder years, was fortunate enough to have seen an illustrated record of the [True Immortal's Molted Remains] before the Great Catastrophe. The images left a profound impression on him, so much so that even after thousands of years, he could not forget them. Hence, when creating this Pioneer Realm, he imitated its form and essence."

Ji Shaoli continued to probe for more information about the True Immortal’s Molted Remains.

"Before the Great Catastrophe descended and the path to immortality was severed, the Xuanhuang Realm still maintained communication with the Immortal Realm. Not only did the great immortal sects receive celestial artifacts bestowed upon them by the Immortal Realm,"

"But also, a set of True Immortal's Molted Remains had circulated in the mortal world. The exact person who came into possession of them is now unknown, but the truth of their existence was indisputable, with various clues confirming it."

"This bone hand is one of those immortal remains. In addition, there were also the Immortal's Body, the Immortal's Skull..."

Zimiao’s narration was filled with mystery, but suddenly, his tone shifted sharply.

"Up until just before the Great Catastrophe, there were still rumors of the True Immortal’s Molted Remains appearing in the world. However, once the catastrophe struck, not only did those remains vanish, but even the sects' most treasured celestial artifacts disappeared without a trace!"

"The resulting chaos was unimaginable, further accelerating the downfall of the immortal sects."

Ji Shaoli was momentarily lost in thought. "The immortal remains and celestial artifacts... all disappeared?"

Zi Miao sighed. "Indeed. Even now, it remains an unsolved mystery—no one knows where they went. However, in today’s Xuanhuang Realm, the only place still linked to ‘Immortals’ is likely the Fallen Immortal Realm. Because of this, many cultivators who are aware of this matter believe that the missing remains and artifacts are hidden within the Fallen Immortal Realm."

"Otherwise, why would so many Dao Integration cultivators persistently explore that place?"

"The Fallen Immortal Realm, huh…" Ji Shaoli murmured thoughtfully, nodding to himself.

After this, Zi Miao no longer provided any particularly useful information.

Following a round of bargaining, Ji Shaoli ultimately purchased the White Bone Vanguard Realm for 800,000 Contribution Points.

It was evident that it had been a long time since Zimiao had encountered such a wealthy client, as his tone was filled with excitement. He even promised a hundred years of free realm maintenance and offered future discounts should Ji Shaoli need to purchase another advance realm.

The process of transferring ownership was carried out smoothly and required no further mention.

Returning to Li Fan’s true self.

"The person behind this account is likely not Immortal Sage Zimiao himself."

"To be able to carve out a space within the void, even among Dao Integration cultivators, is no small feat. Such a person wouldn’t be so materialistic."

Li Fan then turned his attention to the connection between the True Immortal’s Molted Remains and the [Kun-Qian Bone Hand].

"The True Immortal’s Molted Remains ended up in the Xuanhuang Realm."

"The power of heaven and earth cycles through all things, seeking to devour and refine such remains, integrating them into its own laws."

"Judging by the appearance of this [Kun-Qian Bone Hand], it seems that this process was at least partially successful."

"But what about the rest of the True Immortal’s Molted Remains—where have they gone now?"

"The Derivation Law Jade, the Dao Pattern Compass—could they also be related to the True Immortal’s Molted Remains?"

"The most critical question is this: whether celestial artifacts or immortal remains, they are treasures of unfathomable value. The great immortal sects would have safeguarded them with the utmost vigilance. And yet, under such circumstances, they still vanished without a trace..."

"Interesting."

Li Fan’s eyes flickered as he pondered possible explanations.

However, such ancient secrets could not possibly be unraveled with his mere mid-grade Dao Deviation Stone alone.

Before long, Li Fan had no choice but to set aside his speculations with a hint of regret.
