Xu Fu glanced around at everyone, stroked his beard, and slowly began to narrate some little-known secrets.

In the 26th year of Emperor Shi, a meteorite fell into East County.

This meteorite was not an ordinary astronomical phenomenon; it was an interstellar ship dispatched by the Mayan Star people to search for other life-bearing planets.

Thanks to the joint efforts of cultivator experts, those invading Mayan Star people were mostly eliminated.

However, as time passed, this major event that once threatened the life and death of the entire planet was gradually forgotten by people.

Yet, there were two people who always remembered it.

One was the Eternal Emperor Qin!

The other was Xu Fu!

Xu Fu, through astrology, predicted that the Mayan Star people would definitely invade Earth on a large scale again.

The Emperor wanted to ensure that his throne and his descendants' legacy continued without interruption, so he naturally wouldn't allow these Mayan Star people to invade his territory in the future.

Thinking of future generations, the Emperor made preparations. He used the Mechanical Techniques of Moo to forge a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers, to be buried with him in the Lishann Imperial Mausoleum a century later.

Simultaneously, he also ordered the Great General Meng Tian to bury a dragon bone as long as ten thousand li found in Kunlun Immortal Mountain, to guard the vast lands of China.

These two creations were later known as the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum Terracotta Army, and the Great Wall!

Xu Fu then set out to sea under the guise of searching for the Undying Divine Medicine, attempting to persuade the Immortal Sects to join forces to combat the Mayan Star people.

However, he traveled far and wide without any success.

At that time, the Tianyin Ancestor, Sect Leader of Penglai Pavilion, seeing Xu Fu's impressive talent and determination, accepted him as a Closed-door Disciple.

This also gave Xu Fu hope for a more indirect way to save the country!

He tried several times to persuade his master Tianyin Ancestor but to no avail.

Later, it seemed that Tianyin Ancestor realized his time was near, and he summoned Xu Fu alone to impart a secret.

For some unknown reason, the two of them had a fierce argument.

Not long after, Tianyin Ancestor passed away.

Xu Fu had once shown the ambition to control Penglai Pavilion and, by extension, the entire Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm. His personality was eccentric and erratic, leading to many conflicts with his peers.

Now, with this incident, Xu Fu was regarded as a traitor to his master and ancestors.

Unwilling to be caught, Xu Fu defected from Penglai. Before leaving, he took his senior brother Tian Yazi's infant daughter, Zixuan, with him.

At that time, Penglai Pavilion was the undisputed overlord of the cultivation realm.

Thus, Xu Fu, the renegade disciple, could no longer find a place for himself in the cultivation realm and had to return to the Human World, where he founded the Heavenly Net.

Zixuan was raised as his adopted daughter. Later, by chance, she met and fell in love with Li Lingyun, and gave birth to a son named Li Chen.

…

Xu Fu's story was too fantastical, leaving many present completely confused.

There are records in ancient texts about the meteorite in East County and the Mayan Star people. However, they are mere words and fragments, without any system.

Moreover, these matters have nothing to do with cultivation. Most people regard them as legend stories for entertainment and rarely take them seriously.

"Xu Fu, do you think that by fabricating these lies, you can cover up your betrayal of your master and ancestors?"

A Penglai Pavilion Elder named Peng Yue pointed at Xu Fu and shouted fiercely.

After scolding Xu Fu, he approached his senior brother Tian Yazi to persuade him.

"Sect Leader Brother, don't believe Xu Fu's nonsense. Let's capture him together and avenge our master!"

Tian Yazi stared intently at the image in midair, his body slightly trembling, and his expression extremely complex.

"Xu Fu, are all the things you said true?"

Xu Fu nodded in response, "Of course, I can swear to the heavens. If there's even one falsehood, may I suffer Heavenly Punishment!"

Seeing Xu Fu swear such a venomous oath, many people changed from refusing to believe him to being somewhat convinced by his words.

Tian Yazi glared at Xu Fu and demanded, "Xu Fu, do you think I'll believe you after just a few words? Is that possible?"

Xu Fu seemed to have anticipated Tian Yazi's question and didn't argue much. He responded smoothly.

"Believe it or not, it's up to you!"

Having said this, he turned and walked towards Li Chen.

Li Chen, with many doubts in his heart, was about to speak when he suddenly saw Xu Fu place a square object into his hand.

"This is the Heshi Jade, the core part of the Infinite Jade Bi. As long as you embed it on the Jade Platform, you can open the barrier between Earth and the Ancient Nine Provinces Plane and leave here!"

Upon hearing Xu Fu's transmission, Li Chen was shocked. He took the jade and saw that it was four inches in diameter, with five dragons intertwined on the top. The front bore an inscription by Li Si: 'Mandated by Heaven, Longevity and Prosperity' in eight large characters.

"The Imperial Jade Seal?"

Xu Fu nodded slightly, "Yes, it is indeed the Imperial Jade Seal of Emperor Shi. With this seal, you can summon the Ancestor Dragon and command a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers. Whether the world can survive this catastrophe depends entirely on you alone!"

As he said this last sentence, Xu Fu's tone had a sense of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders. Moreover, it had a hint of final words.

Li Chen sensed something amiss and pressed, "What about you?"

"Since I came, I never planned to go back!"

Xu Fu's gaze was profound, his expression solemn.

After speaking, he glanced at Lian Hongshang, Zhao Yuqing, and Ling Shuanghua.

Finally, he looked at Li Chen, earnestly warning him, "When the plane opens, it will generate a mysterious space vortex. A slightest mistake could suck a person into it, which is extremely dangerous. So you must go alone and not take anyone else. Otherwise, it's certain death!"

In fact, Li Chen was even more aware of these dangers than Xu Fu. Not only did he know these, but he also knew the main components of these space vortices.

The positive and negative magnetic forces generated by dark matter interact to form death black holes. Even a Divinity Transformation Expert would be utterly annihilated if slightly careless.

Li Chen's gaze swept over the faces of Ling Shuanghua, Zhao Yuqing, and Lian Hongshang.

Ling Shuanghua was the treasure of Ling Yunlong, Sect Leader of Cloud Sea Sect, known for his obsessive love for his daughter. Anyone who dared have thoughts about his daughter would mean a fight to the death with the entire Cloud Sea Sect.

Zhao Yuqing was now a Direct Disciple of the Master of Azure Water Palace at Moon God Palace. Moon God Palace always looked out for each other, especially the Master of Azure Water Palace. No one dared to easily act against Zhao Yuqing with her around.

Therefore, Li Chen wasn't worried about their safety after he left.

The only person he was concerned about was Lian Hongshang.

Li Chen noticed the Little Demon Immortal sitting on the Lotus Platform and, after a moment of thought, whispered to Lian Hongshang, "Hongshang, later, you follow the Little Demon Immortal with Little Dragon!"

Lian Hongshang looked surprised and asked, "Chen, what about you?"

Li Chen thought for a moment and said, "I have important things to do. Once I'm done, I'll find you in the Demon Domain!"

Lian Hongshang, seeing Li Chen's seriousness, nodded vigorously like a pecking chick.

…

The initial idea was to have Xu Fu narrate these events in the first person. But the first-person perspective was limited and didn't tell the full story. After much consideration, I switched to an omniscient perspective. Please pardon any shortcomings due to my limited skill as the author!

The intricate plot has basically been sorted out. Starting tomorrow, regular updates will resume, with at least three updates at midnight!

Next chapter will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone!
