Chapter 902: Chapter 470: The Legend of Taicang, the Origin of the Domain

“`

Li Xuan raised his hand and pointed at Tian Zi, then pointed to the sky, and then the ground. Laughing, he said, “You, spirit of the Domain, transformed from the purple light!”

Upon hearing this, Tian Zi was shocked, but at the same time, he no longer doubted Li Xuan’s strength and even felt a sense of relief.

Since he knew his identity and yet did nothing, it was clear he had no ill intentions.

Only a handful of people knew of his identity as the spirit of the Domain.

And those who knew he was transformed from purple light were even fewer.

“So, the senior really knew, it was I who was overly cautious.”

Tian Zi smiled wryly.

“It seems you, young one, have your stories as well. Why not share them?”

Li Xuan chimed in with a smile.

Tian Zi was silent for a while, then raised his finger and pointed to the sky, saying, “Beyond the Domain lies the Land of Chaotic Imperishable, do you call it Chaos, senior?”

Li Xuan smiled, nodding and shaking his head, “Yes, and no!”

Beyond the Domain lay a chaotic state, filled with Imperishable Qi. Li Xuan thought of Chaos first, so he mentioned Chaos.

However, Tian Zi’s question indicated they did not refer to it as Chaos.

Li Xuan naturally didn’t wish to revoke his statement entirely, nor would he wholeheartedly deny Tian Zi’s terminology, thus he offered an enigmatic response.

Some words should not be spoken conclusively; otherwise, there is no room for maneuvering, and Li Xuan was already expert in this.

Tian Zi did not ask why it was, and was not, but instead, his expression turned serious, his tone complex and filled with reminiscence as he said, “The chaos beyond the heavens, Taicang calls it the Land of Imperishable, also known as the Land of Chaotic Imperishable, once it was called such by the strong within this Domain…

“The Land of Imperishable seems to exist eternally, inhabited by True Spirits. Yet, like beasts, they are powerful and are even endowed with natural abilities; however, their use is crude, without an understanding of cultivation, relying solely on self-growth.

“When the beings of the Land of Imperishable were born and for how many eras they have existed, nobody knows; strong as Taicang, even he cannot trace back to see it clearly.

“Of course, the senior must know. Before, I would have surely pestered you endlessly with questions, but now I no longer have such curiosity.”

As he spoke toward the end, Tian Zi’s expression became somewhat desolate.

Li Xuan listened quietly, feeling a bit sentimental. The Chaos before the heavens, Chaotic Imperishable, did not differ much from what he knew as Chaos.

He poured a cup of tea for Tian Zi, positioning himself as a listener.

Since Tian Zi had begun to recount these past events, he couldn’t stop and would continue to narrate, revealing everything.

As expected, Tian Zi took a sip of tea and continued speaking.

“Taicang was born in the Land of Imperishable. According to Taicang, he didn’t know how he was born nor what kind of being he was, initially muddled like those Imperishable True Spirits with unopened spiritual wisdom.

“At that time, the Land of Imperishable was teeming with True Spirits, where the strong preyed on the weak, and the smaller True Spirits were always in danger of being devoured.

“Taicang said he witnessed the brutal battles of the True Spirits. For some reason, his spiritual wisdom began to awaken, gradually becoming intelligent, and his body slowly took on a human form.

“Observing various True Spirit battles, recognizing both the strong and the weak, he gradually figured out how to avoid, how to dodge, and how to efficiently hunt True Spirits…”

Tian Zi narrated slowly.

The protagonist of this story was named Taicang.

Based on Tian Zi’s narrative, it was clear his relationship with Taicang was extremely intimate, and these tales were evidently not personally experienced by Tian Zi but were told to him by Taicang.

Li Xuan thought of Tian Zi’s origin, the spirit of Taicang Domain, transformed by the Heavenly Purple Light. Clearly, his birth was related to Taicang.

Perhaps Taicang even created him.

“How vast is the Land of Imperishable? Taicang said he didn’t know either. He wandered without a fixed abode and had faced dangers in the Land of Imperishable. Back then, he was unaware of the passage of time and had no concept of time, always drifting aimlessly. Yet, having spiritual wisdom, he felt pride when facing other True Spirits.

“As time went on, Taicang no longer regarded himself as the same kind as those True Spirits, believing himself to be unique.

“After wandering for an unknown length of time, Taicang encountered an incredibly strong True Spirit, yet this True Spirit was already old, seemingly on the brink of death.

“Taicang observed this True Spirit until it withered and died, its body discovered and devoured by other True Spirits.

“Taicang said that scene shocked him greatly. It was then he realized that even if creatures weren’t killed, they would still age and die. Although he didn’t know how long that True Spirit lived, it ultimately died.

“From that moment, Taicang felt he should have a pursuit…”

Tian Zi paused here, looking at Li Xuan.

“Senior, do you know what Taicang’s pursuit is?”

Li Xuan nodded slightly, having already guessed some of it.

“You said Taicang was a very gifted young one. Taicang is the unparalleled talent I know of.”

Tian Zi exhaled a breath and said in a deep voice, “Taicang was the first cultivator in the Land of Imperishable. He had extraordinary talent, founding the Path of Cultivation.

“Taicang cultivated within the Land of Imperishable, devouring the fierce spiritual energy, constantly exploring and improving.

“Like this, after an untold number of eras, Taicang grew more powerful. The once mighty True Spirits he couldn’t contend with, he could now hunt with ease.

“As he cultivated deeper and became stronger, the range Taicang traversed in the Land of Imperishable widened, and he was able to hunt stronger True Spirits.
