As Ji Qingyu recounted the story, the greatest fog in Chu Mo's heart finally dispersed, and he finally learned what had actually happened all those years ago.

A hundred thousand years ago, several significant events took place in the Luotian Immortal Domain in succession.

First, Ji Qingyu's father failed in his attempt to reach the Ancestral Immortal Realm and remained in the Great Saint Realm, while the ancient ancestor of the Imperial Clan ascended to the Dao in the heavens after living through thirty-six epochs.

"Without becoming Supreme, one cannot escape reincarnation!" Ji Qingyu said somberly, "Even having lived through countless epochs... one ultimately cannot evade this calamity. One epoch marks a minor calamity, thirty-six epochs a major calamity, and seventy-two epochs the ultimate calamity. If the Imperial Clan's ancient ancestor had survived the major calamity of thirty-six epochs, he could have lived another thirty-six epochs. Ever since the beginning of heaven and earth, only one has evaded the ultimate calamity, becoming Supreme. Only then is one truly freed forever from calamity and reincarnation, achieving the true immortality of an indestructible golden body. Alas, our Imperial Clan's ancient ancestor did not endure the major calamity of thirty-six epochs. I was still young at that time, but I seem to recall hearing that someone had secretly interfered, leading to the great failure of our ancient ancestor's calamity. Therefore, I later followed the Daoist Sect here, though I actually sneaked out; my family knew this all along. They did not deliberately stop me, also because they had calculated that I had a calamity to avoid. They wanted me to evade this calamity."

Chu Mo listened with a trembling heart, Great Saint, Ancestral Immortal, Supreme... What kind of realms were these? It seemed like the old monk from Buddhism had once mentioned during Buddhism's glorious zenith that even a Great Saint could be suppressed. Was it the same thing he was talking about?

Chu Mo suppressed the trembling in his heart and continued to listen.

"When the ancient ancestor ascended to the Dao, his cultivation returned to heaven and earth, reportedly reincarnated, but truly... whether reincarnation exists, no one in this world can say for sure. It's a topic too profound and vast," Ji Qingyu said somberly. "But the ascension of our ancestor was a pressing concern for my emperor father; if he could not achieve the Ancestral Immortal Realm, the Imperial Clan would inevitably be suppressed. Even though those ancient beings might have a trace of fondness or fear of the measures the ancestor left behind, at most... they would not abolish the Imperial Clan. But suppression... was unavoidable. Unfortunately, my father also failed in his attempt to reach the Ancestral Immortal Realm. This time, it was certain that someone had secretly interfered. Thankfully, the divine artifact left by the ancient ancestor protected him, allowing him to escape the calamity. However, it's doubtful whether my father will have another chance to attempt reaching the Ancestral Immortal Realm."

At this point, Chu Tianji asked, "These matters should all involve the top powers within your Luotian Immortal Domain, what relevance do they have with us here? Why would your people want to seal our world? From what you're saying, our world's Emperor Realm is merely equivalent to the Saint Realm in your Luotian Immortal Domain; though not weak, it surely doesn't enter the top echelons of the Luotian Immortal Domain. What are they afraid of?"

Chu Mo was also listening intently, and he finally understood why his mother's name was taboo in this world. Because the answer... might just lie in his mother's next words!

Ji Qingyu sighed lightly and said, "You must understand, in the Luotian Immortal Domain, the top existences are old immortals who have lived through many epochs; they are too terrifying and too powerful. If their names are mentioned casually, even across countless planes, they can sense it. With just a thought… they can wipe out countless star domains! Therefore, I cannot mention their names, nor even their titles. But I can tell you, they are on par with the Ancestral Immortal Realm. The Luotian Immortal Domain has a Supreme being, an truly transcendental being, who will not interfere as long as the Luotian Immortal Domain survives. Supreme Wu Fei... hehe, he has transformed into Heavenly Dao! Thus, mentioning his title poses no problem."

While Ji Qingyu spoke, she turned to look at Chu Tianji, "As for sealing this world, it's because beings equivalent to the Ancestral Immortal Realm predicted that Yanhuang Domain... yes, this world, would give rise to a peerless being that would appear in the Luotian Immortal Domain in a future year, and then would disrupt all their fates! They would all fail to overcome the impending thirty-six epoch calamity."

At this, Ji Qingyu sneered coldly, "Our ancient ancestor's enlightenment came earlier than theirs, otherwise he could not have become part of the Imperial Clan. So, the time of the thirty-six epoch calamity he faced was also earlier than theirs. Though when it comes down to it, there's only a few epochs' difference. Thus, those beings grew fearful. They felt threatened. That's why... they sent envoys to wage war on the Yanhuang Domain. It's the war that occurred a hundred thousand years ago. By staging a massacre, they aimed to kill all the Heavenly Geniuses of the entire Yanhuang Domain! They didn't need to eradicate such a whole domain, as that would involve too much karma. They merely needed to kill all the Heavenly Geniuses of the Yanhuang Domain, then seal this world. That would be enough. At least for a few epochs, the Yanhuang Domain wouldn't be able to produce a genuinely significant talent. For them, that was sufficient."

Chu Tianji and Chu Mo almost sighed simultaneously, their expressions synchronizing completely. Chu Mo could see Chu Tianji, but Chu Tianji... could not see Chu Mo.

What surprised Chu Mo, however, was that Chu Tianji seemed to speak into the air, "Did you hear that, son? Those old scoundrels from the Luotian Immortal Domain are too despicable! Someday, you must pierce the heavens and overturn that bunch of old bastards!"

"Pah, pah, pah, what are you talking about? Our son... hasn't even been born yet!" Ji Qingyu couldn't help but spit out, glaring at Chu Tianji, then said, "An epoch is 128,600 years, and after several epochs, it will be hundreds of thousands of years later. They joined forces to seal the Yanhuang domain, with the purpose of sealing it for several epochs."

Chu Tianji said angrily, "They are so cruel, first killing the Heavenly Genius of my Yanhuang domain, then sealing this place... just because they deduced that someone who might disrupt their destiny could be born here? That's... so despicable!"

"There's no reasoning with such things; that group has always acted this way. Even those from the Great Saint Realm had suppressed them back then." Ji Qingyu said, "I ran away from home, and my family didn't try too hard to stop me, but they would definitely not allow me to marry a cultivator from the Yanhuang domain. Ah... that's troubling! What should I do now?"

"No matter what, I will never leave you," Chu Tianji said earnestly.

"I will never leave you either, I love you, Brother Tianji," Ji Qingyu rested her head on Chu Tianji's shoulder and said softly, "But after this group returns, I fear the next one will appear soon. I always feel that someone in the Imperial Clan has already betrayed us. Thus, there are two dark forces constantly vying. After our father failed to ascend to the Ancestral Immortal Realm, he passed the throne to my elder brother. Just that elder brother he... sigh."

Ji Qingyu sighed and did not continue, but changed the subject: "So, those sent to fetch me might not be willing, and those who haven't shown up might not necessarily be the good ones."

"I will never let anyone take you away!" Chu Tianji said, "Unless I die!"

Ji Qingyu covered Chu Tianji's mouth, "Don't talk nonsense, whether in life or death, I will always be with you!"
