Chapter 415 – Luo Ling’er, the Luotian Ancestor! The Secret Behind the Founding of the Luotian Sect!

Chapter 415 – Luo Ling’er, the Luotian Ancestor! The Secret Behind the Founding of the Luotian Sect!

In the Real World, Su Xing saw this and gave a slight nod.

“That Wu Clan giant wearing the elaborate headdress should be the chieftain of Tribe ge, right?”

“In the prime of his life, possessing mid-stage Golden Immortal combat power — not weak by any means… but with just this level of strength, there’s still a massive gap compared to the Wu Clan at its peak!”

However, the Wu Clan’s combative nature and their clear-cut approach to grudges and gratitude didn’t come as a surprise to Su Xing.

“Then let’s see what’s happening inside Tribe ge — what exactly is the major event of this time reversal?”

Su Xing vaguely had a guess forming in his mind as he turned his gaze toward the simulation panel.

【Soon, you followed the chieftain of Tribe ge back to the tribal village.】

【This Wu Clan giant named “Ge” apologized to you for his earlier behavior.】

【Upon returning to the Wu Clan village, you saw dozens of Wu Clan giants in their prime bustling about.】

【Some wielded giant axes several zhang tall, while others were lighting fires and stoking flames, dragging demon beasts hundreds of meters long, carving up the flesh.】

【The Wu Clan lived by hunting demon beasts. Their immensely powerful physical bodies required them to obtain sufficient energy from the blood essence of demon beasts.】

【This was especially true for Wu Clan children in their growth phase — without adequate demon beast flesh to supplement their needs, they would struggle to develop into powerful Wu Clan warriors.】

【You followed chieftain “Ge” into the inner area of the Wu Clan settlement.】

【Large slabs of demon beast meat were simply roasted and presented before you, sprinkled with mineral salt specially prepared by the Wu Clan. Though lacking in seasonings, the unique savory richness of demon beast flesh still made your mouth water.】

【Before long, several more Wu Clan warriors carried over wine vats standing several zhang tall and set them before you.】

【The Wu Clan had a deep love for wine and meat. You had saved their tribe and driven back the foreign races, earning the grandest hospitality the Wu Clan could offer.】

【After several rounds of drinks… you struck up a conversation with this great shaman named “Ge.”】

【He asked which tribe you hailed from and why you had come to Tribe ge’s territory.】

【Your current appearance was that of a Wu Clan giant, so it was only natural for ge to have such questions.】

【But you couldn’t reveal your identity as a member of the human race, so you lied, claiming you came from a distant tribe that had been destroyed by foreign invaders, and that you had been wandering ever since…】

【Upon hearing your words, ge expressed deep sympathy and didn’t press further.】

【You continued chatting like this, and during the conversation, you subtly probed him about the current state of affairs.】

【Soon, you learned that the current era was not long after the separation of the upper realm and lower realm. The ten great domains of the world had just been established, and the location you were in was called the Eastern Domain…】

【In this era, the Wu Clan had already fallen into complete decline. The remaining Wu Clan tribes mostly had impure bloodlines, and their power was far inferior to what it once was.】

【You continued asking about the power dynamics of the cultivation world…】

【ge replied that he had never heard of the Advent Cult, nor did he know of the so-called Luotian Sect or Azure Cloud Sect… But when you asked about the Celestial Secrets Pavilion, ge said he had heard of it — there seemed to be an organization among the human race called the Celestial Secrets Pavilion.】

【You pondered this, then asked about several names of powerful human cultivators you knew.】

【When you finally asked about the White Emperor, ge said he vaguely recalled hearing of a powerful figure named the White Emperor who had achieved the Supreme Unity Golden Immortal Dao fruit several thousand years ago…】

In the Real World, Su Xing drew a deep breath upon seeing this.

By now, he had figured out the timeline he had traveled back to.

“The upper and lower realms have just separated, the Luotian Sect and Azure Cloud Sect haven’t been founded yet… and the White Emperor has only just reached the Supreme Unity realm!”

“This timeline is indeed tens of millions of years in the past…”

So what major event had erupted at this point in time?

Su Xing thought for a while. A guess seemed to form in his mind, but he couldn’t quite articulate it.

He could only continue watching the simulation panel.

【After hearing ge’s words, you had a general understanding of the timeline…】

【Just as you were about to continue your inquiries, you suddenly sensed the sounds of intense battle erupting outside the tribe.】

【You and ge exchanged a glance, and without a word, both rose to your feet and headed outside.】

【With your extraordinary eyesight, you spotted a human woman high in the sky, clad in a cyan dress, fleeing for her life. Sweat had soaked through her jet-black hair, and she looked rather disheveled.】

【Behind her was a terrifying foreign-race Divine Sovereign, with strength roughly at Peak Golden Immortal.】

【The woman possessed only Early Golden Immortal strength and was clearly outmatched… yet she managed to counterattack from time to time, aided by mysterious fluctuations surrounding her body.】

【After assessing the battle, ge furrowed his brows slightly and turned to look at you, as if asking whether you wanted to help the human woman.】

【You, however, were captivated by the woman’s combat techniques. Those mysterious fluctuations were clearly a Spirit Domain…】

【No — a Spirit Realm!】

【This human Golden Immortal woman’s mastery over Spirit Domain was nothing short of terrifying, having already reached the level of Spirit Realm… something nearly impossible to achieve at the Early Golden Immortal stage.】

【It was precisely through her mastery of Spirit Domain that the woman could stand against a Peak second-rank Divine Sovereign of a foreign race despite being only at Early Golden Immortal cultivation.】

【You hesitated for only an instant before leaping skyward, charging toward the foreign-race Divine Sovereign above.】

【Seeing this, ge smiled faintly and quickly joined the battle as well.】

【With three against one, even though your strength was reduced to mere Body Tempering cultivation, with the help of two Golden Immortal-level fighters, you still held an overwhelming advantage.】

【The battle lasted a full three days before the foreign-race Divine Sovereign was finally slain.】

【Though it was three against one, all three of you sustained injuries of varying severity. Wuge’s left arm had been severed at the root, but thanks to the Wu Clan’s terrifying regenerative ability, it would regrow after just a few days of rest.】

【You also had a deep wound on your chest that cut to the bone, though fortunately it wasn’t life-threatening.】

【Just as you were about to ask the woman her identity… she suddenly lost control of her aura and plummeted from the sky.】

【Fortunately, your reflexes were quick enough. You caught her in time and brought her back to the Wu Clan village.】

【Several days later, with the aid of Wu Clan medicinal herbs, the woman successfully regained consciousness, though she still regarded you all with wariness…】

【Although you had fought together to slay the foreign-race Divine Sovereign, in this timeline, relations between the Wu Clan and the human race were far from harmonious.】

【The woman eyed you cautiously for a few moments, thanked you, and then prepared to leave.】

【But the moment she tried to stand, her legs gave way and she collapsed weakly.】

【Having been hunted by the foreign-race Divine Sovereign, this human woman had already suffered severe injuries, her vital essence heavily depleted.】

【Even her Three Flowers Above the Crown showed faint signs of dissipating…】

【Left with no choice, the woman could only remain in the Wu Clan tribe to recuperate.】

【Over the next several years, the human woman recovered from her injuries within the tribe, while you and the great shaman Wuge ventured into the mountains beyond the settlement to hunt.】

【You grew familiar with one another and gradually became close friends…】

【During these years of living together, you also learned the woman’s identity.】

【This human woman was named Luo Ling’er. She was an independent cultivator unaffiliated with any sect. After condensing her Three Flowers Above the Crown, she had set out to travel the ten domains in search of a breakthrough opportunity…】

In the Real World, Su Xing pondered carefully upon seeing this.

“Luo Ling’er? Is there a powerhouse by that name in the current timeline?”

Su Xing had never heard of her.

“It seems this woman didn’t survive to the present day…”

Su Xing shook his head slightly. That was simply how time worked.

No matter how dazzling a genius might be, they could still be swallowed up in the Long River of time.

For Luo Ling’er to contend against a Peak Golden Immortal foreign-race Divine Sovereign at merely the Early Golden Immortal stage — she certainly qualified as a prodigy.

Yet she hadn’t survived to the present…

“I wonder what the adventure in this simulation will turn out to be?”

Su Xing was quite curious.

The description of the time reversal function had stated it would involve Su Xing in a major event.

But from what he could see so far, a Wu Clan tribe being attacked hardly counted as a major event, did it?

“Perhaps what comes next will be different?”

With that thought, Su Xing turned his gaze back to the simulation panel.

【Luo Ling’er’s injuries eventually healed completely, and the time came for her to leave.】

【Before departing, Luo Ling’er invited you and ge to travel with her to more distant lands.】

【Upon hearing Luo Ling’er’s proposal, you were still hesitating when, to your surprise, the great shaman Wuge agreed first.】

【As it turned out, foreign-race incursions had been growing more frequent in recent years, and Wuge’s tribe had a disproportionate number of elderly and young. On top of that, game in the mountains was becoming increasingly scarce.】

【Therefore, ge planned to relocate the entire tribe to find a more suitable place to rebuild their home…】

【Since even Wuge had agreed, you had no reason to object.】

【And so, the three of you set out with the entire Tribe ge — several hundred Wu Clan members — in search of a better homeland.】

【In the blink of an eye, ten years passed…】

【Ten years of traveling together forged a deep friendship among the three of you.】

【But just then, something unexpected happened…】

【Although Luo Ling’er was an independent cultivator who had never joined a sect, she hailed from a cultivation family.】

【Now, Luo Ling’er received a voice transmission: the Luo family had suffered a catastrophe of annihilation. Thousands had been killed, with fewer than a hundred managing to escape with their lives — and they were still being hunted.】

【Under these circumstances, Luo Ling’er had no choice but to return to rescue her family.】

【She prepared to bid you farewell…】

【But you were uneasy about Luo Ling’er going back alone, so you temporarily parted ways with ge, agreeing to meet at a designated location in three years.】

【You accompanied Luo Ling’er to where her clanspeople were hiding. Before long, you encountered the hostile forces that had come to hunt them down.】

【You dispatched the pursuers without much effort… but in doing so, you uncovered a shocking truth.】

【The largest human cultivation sect in the Eastern Domain had been secretly colluding with foreign races and planned to conduct a blood sacrifice of humans. Luo Ling’er’s family had accidentally stumbled upon this conspiracy and was being hunted to silence them.】

【After learning the situation, you both realized that your strength alone was nowhere near sufficient to stand against them… After all, the Eastern Domain’s largest sect had Great Firmament Golden Immortals among its ranks!】

【So you and Luo Ling’er escorted the surviving Luo family members to rendezvous with Tribe ge…】

【Three years later, you successfully reunited.】

【The Wu Clan tribe had encountered no incidents, but all of you were at a loss about what to do next.】

【The Eastern Domain’s largest sect, the invasion of foreign races — even Golden Immortals could not remain untouched in such a torrent.】

【Not to mention that both the Luo family and the Wu Clan tribe had elderly and young who needed care…】

【It was then that Luo Ling’er came to you and ge with a proposal. She told you that during her earlier travels, she had discovered a Secret Realm grotto-heaven.】

【This Secret Realm grotto-heaven was not only well-hidden but also vast in scale, with enough resources inside to house both the Luo family and the Wu Clan tribe together…】

【The only problem was that the Secret Realm appeared to date back to ancient times and was extremely dangerous. With her strength alone, she couldn’t explore it.】

【After hearing this, you reflected for a moment. Soon, the three of you reached a decision — you would venture into the Secret Realm together!】

In the Real World, Su Xing finally confirmed which major event he was participating in!

“Luo Ling’er… the Wu Clan tribe… together seeking refuge in a Secret Realm. So in the end, they established a new power?”

“Then the name of that power goes without saying… the Luotian Sect!”

Su Xing drew a deep breath. He had never imagined that this time reversal would take him back to the era before the Luotian Sect was founded!

And moreover, he had happened to meet the two founders of the Luotian Sect!

“Oh no… in this timeline, perhaps I’m the third founder?”

Su Xing scratched his head, feeling it was all rather absurd.

The Luo family — that was precisely one of the major factions within the Luotian Sect.

Add in the Wu Clan tribe’s involvement…

Su Xing was now more than ninety percent certain that Luo Ling’er… was the Luotian Ancestor!

“Hss… No wonder she comprehended the Spirit Realm at merely the Early Golden Immortal stage… Only the Luotian Ancestor could have achieved something like that!”

An extraordinary gleam flashed through Su Xing’s eyes.

Now that he knew what era he had traveled to and what major event he was about to be involved in…

Su Xing knew exactly what he needed to do next.

“So the key lies in that Secret Realm?”

“That Secret Realm should be the very site where the Luotian Sect was established, right?”

“The foundation upon which the Luotian Sect was built is one of the three primordial chaos treasures — the Luotian Mirror.”

“And in this simulation, Luo Ling’er doesn’t seem to have obtained the Luotian Mirror yet… So the Luotian Mirror must be inside that Secret Realm?”

With that thought, Su Xing became deeply interested in what would unfold within the Secret Realm.

He turned his gaze back to the simulation panel.

【Soon, under Luo Ling’er’s guidance, you traveled to the Secret Realm she had previously explored.】

【Stepping into the Secret Realm, you felt as though you had entered an entirely new world.】

【The scenery was breathtaking — mountains lush and waters clear, deer darting through the forests, birdsong and fragrant flowers everywhere…】

【What astonished you even more was that within the mountain forests, there were streams formed entirely from spirit liquid.】

【The spiritual energy in the air was several times denser than the outside world, faintly approaching the level of a superior blessed land!】

【Seeing the shock in your eyes, Luo Ling’er explained that she had explored this place before and suspected it was a world fragment from the upper realm dating back to ancient times.】

【Over time, it had gradually transformed into the Secret Realm it was today.】

【You nodded slightly upon hearing this. Indeed, only in the upper realm could a place with such abundant spiritual energy exist.】

【And since the upper realm had been destroyed and the world’s spiritual energy had withered, this Secret Realm would undoubtedly become an object of contention among all major factions.】

【Fortunately, neither the Luo family nor the Wu Clan members had any intention of leaving once they arrived in this Secret Realm.】

【With so many hostile forces hunting them in the outside world, only this hidden paradise could serve as a safe haven…】

【…】

【One year later, after the Luo family and the Wu Clan tribe had been properly settled…】

【Luo Ling’er came to you and ge. Deep within the Secret Realm, she had discovered a concealed ancient palace, and it seemed that treasures were emerging from within…】
