Chapter 487: Chapter 487: Clouds Stir Across the Realm

"Young master, what are your plans next?" asked the Jade Pool Divine Lady.

She knew that Ji Chen came to the Immortal Realm to find the whereabouts of Qu Luoning.

Having now found the other party, although he had not met her, he was still quite relieved.

"If possible, I should find a place to live in seclusion, perhaps wait for Luoning to emerge," said Ji Chen.

Of course, this was merely his current thought; as for what to do, he hadn’t truly decided yet.

The Jade Pool Divine Lady remained silent for a moment before saying, "If the Demon Monarch’s legacy truly emerges, you, possessing the Undying Daoist Lineage, might be of help to future generations."

This was no falsehood.

The Undying Immortal Monarch once shook the world, one of the strongest existences throughout ancient times. Those who inherited his legacy were destined to be among the great rulers of the world.

Such figures would undoubtedly bring immense assistance when confronting the Demon Monarch Dao Lineage in the future.

"The future is for the future to tell. Even someone as powerful as the Divine Lady, mastering the Way of Cause and Effect, cannot predict too many things. Who can truly speak with certainty about what is to come?"

Ji Chen smiled.

He eventually departed, leaving the Turquoise Pool.

Heading north, Ji Chen had no particular destination; wherever he went, that would be the place.

"Is the Demon Monarch Dao Lineage truly going to emerge?"

"The Immortal Domain is about to face a great catastrophe. This legacy should have been cut off two million years ago!"

As he passed through some ancient cities, he frequently heard such discussions enter his ears.

Evidently, the matter concerning the Demon Monarch legacy had already spread all over the Immortal Domain.

Many small and medium powers were terrified, foreseeing their living space being infinitely compressed in chaotic times.

Even some noble families and sects that had developed for tens of thousands of years, upon hearing of this matter, immediately recalled all their disciples to seal their mountain gates in search of self-preservation.

The Nine Provinces were in panic; many people felt extremely uneasy.

Yet, many others believed the opportunity had come.

Heroes emerge in chaotic times; they thought that being in such an era provided the chance to truly rise.

Some even harbored desires for the Demon Monarch Dao Lineage.

Though this legacy terrified the world, its power was undeniable.

Once someone acquired the Demon Monarch legacy, they might become the Venerable Supreme of this era!

Immortal or demon alike.

In the face of chance and power, all negative remarks became insignificant.

Immortal Radiance City.

A few days later, Ji Chen arrived here.

This city was located in southern Lingzhou. Continuing south, one would leave Lingzhou’s boundaries and enter Chuzhou, which adjoined Lingzhou.

The rumored Purple Spirit Mountain Range was located between these two provinces.

Outside Immortal Radiance City, hundreds of miles away, the Purple Spirit Mountain Range existed here.

Therefore, countless cultivators gathered in Immortal Radiance City, strong individuals from all over the world.

The Demon Monarch Dao Lineage was about to emerge from the Purple Spirit Mountain Range, shaking the world. Many wanted to determine whether the matter was true or false, hence they all congregated here.

Indeed, some with an eye on the Demon Monarch Dao Lineage also came here.

They claimed they wanted to smother the Demon Monarch Dao Lineage before it fully emerged, but what plans they truly harbored remained known only to themselves.

Heroes born in chaos.

This has been an eternal truth.

"Is it truly the Demon Monarch Dao Lineage? If such a legacy were obtained, the future Immortal Realm would surely experience unimaginable devastation!"

"It’s almost certain. It is said that the Jade Pool Immortal Master and several top strong individuals have entered the Purple Spirit Mountain Range together to investigate and have calculated some matters related to the Demon Monarch!"

"Recently, quite a few cultivators have entered the Purple Spirit Mountain Range, claiming to want to destroy the Demon Monarch Dao Lineage. In reality, most of them harbor desires for the Demon Monarch legacy."

"After all, it is one of the powerful legacies from ancient times. If obtained, one could soar to great heights. How many can truly resist such temptation?"

"A cultivation technique is neither good nor evil; it only depends on who wields it," remarked an elder.

"Even the likes of Wangtian Demon Monarch succumbed to such darkness, indicating his legacy is extraordinary. Once truly cultivated, one’s nature will undoubtedly change, reveling in slaughter and bloodshed."

Walking alone within Immortal Radiance City, all the discussions Ji Chen heard pertained to the word ’Demon Monarch.’

"It’s said the Purple Spirit Mountain Range is extremely perilous, the most dangerous Forbidden Land within the Immortal Domain. Throughout history, those who have entered mostly never returned; to step inside is almost a death sentence, so why are so many cultists rushing in recently, as if to court death?"

"Seeking wealth amidst danger, some harbor hope. Besides, the truly perilous area is the mountain’s depths, only within two hundred miles the true Life Forbidden Area exists, where no one returns alive. Most of those people now likely linger outside two hundred miles, not daring to venture further in."

The world speculated, everyone had something to say.

Along bustling streets, Ji Chen even saw some peddlers.

They shouted about selling special magical treasures that could resist the Forbidden Power within the Purple Spirit Mountain Range.

Though aware most were likely fake, many still harboring hope bought some.

Ji Chen had long grown accustomed to this.

For years, he had approached too many Forbidden Areas, each time witnessing such occurrences outside them.

He never believed in them.

Moreover, possessing the Hongmeng Body, Ji Chen reckoned that if his constitution could not repulse the Forbidden Power, no magical treasure in the world probably could.

"Chaotic times are truly coming. First, the Undying Immortal Monarch Dao Lineage emerges, and now the Demon Monarch legacy appears in the Purple Spirit Mountain Range. Only a month separates these two events!"

"Speaking of which, is the Undying Immortal Monarch truly dead or alive? Was the immortal corpse that emerged from the Celestial Extinction Mountain Range truly him?"

...

Recently, more and more people arrived at Immortal Radiance City.

Besides the old generation of strong individuals, many young geniuses also appeared gradually.

Clearly, many harbored a desire for the Demon Monarch legacy and did not want to miss it.

Some strong individuals from small and medium powers even banded together and, after a simple gathering on the day of arrival, immediately set off for the Purple Spirit Mountain Range.

"Which is stronger, the Demon Monarch Dao Lineage or the Undying legacy?"

Ji Chen pondered curiously.

Strictly speaking, the Demon Monarch was also an Immortal Monarch from ancient times, but due to the brutal nature of his cultivation technique, later generations called him the Demon Monarch.

In terms of the Ancient Scripture, it’s indeed hard to say clearly which of the two is stronger.

With these thoughts, Ji Chen soon left Immortal Radiance City, approaching the direction of the Purple Spirit Mountain Range.
