chapter 6232: five possible immortals
âwhat kind of existence can put a seal on it?â coldblade asked.
âdepends on the level of the seal. regular beings have no chance, but for supreme overlords or immortals, itâs possible with a high price.â li qiye said.
âso what does this have to do with the three immortals?â princess chen asked.
âwhen just talking about the beings born in this world, the three immortals are the oldest.â li qiye said.
ânot the ones in the redemption grounds?â mu hu stopped acting stupid.
âthey are not from this world, mere outsiders.â li qiye shook his head.
âwhere did they come from?â orchidcore became startled.
li qiye smiled and didnât answer this question.
âin other words, the three immortals have sealed the source before.â coldblade speculated.
âwhen a world source is utilized to the limit, this world can reach its prime.â li qiye said: âthe three immortals are wise and do not want the world to reach its prime so they imposed certain limitations. this was why supreme overlords were rare.â
he paused for a bit and said: ânevertheless, the three immortals allowed for incremental improvements such as the formation of dao sources and dao lineages, progenitors.â
âthey eventually released the seal so more overlords appear?â coldblade asked.
âbecause times were changing and if they didnât do it, three immortals wouldnât be able to keep up. this world needed to be stronger in preparation for the future.â li qiye said.
âis that so?â monk zhu placed his palms together, appreciating the lesson.
âwouldnât this cause a problem of overlords and immortals monopolizing the veins and the world source itself?â li xian asked.
ânot quite in reality. look at how large the whales are in this ocean, can they take over everything? the same for the springs and how living beings keep on drinking water, do they run out eventually? no, it is self-replenishing with cycles.â li qiye said.
âso itâs a matter of who the source gestates, no one is really in charge.â princess chen said.
âwe have immortals, more than one.â orchidcore said.
âthree immortals are unique indeed, ranked second among three thousand worlds.â li qiye said.
âthere are three thousand worlds?â coldblade asked with a serious expression but li qiye didnât respond.
âwe have immortals from the redemption grounds, desolate ancestor, poye.â orchidcore said.
âzhan sansheng.â mu hu added.
âothers cannot produce a single one while three immortals gestated four.â li qiye said.
âthere are more because six redemption grounds, the three immortals, desolate ancestors...â princess chen said.
âredemption grounds werenât created by this world.â li qiye shook his head: âand if the three immortals were alive, desolate ancestor wouldnât become one.â
â!â the group shuddered after hearing this.
âso weâre down to two, zhan sansheng and desolate ancestor.â coldblade said.
âisnât poye dead?â monk zhu said.
âlegend has it he can reincarnate.â mu hu said.
âanyone else?â orchidcore murmured.
âwe can have up to four, right? who else can become one?â princess chen counted with her fingers.
âbodhi ancestor is close.â li xian said.
âhe failed.â orchidcore shook his head.
ârumor has it he gained heavenly sinâs legacy.â coldblade said.
âif he could become an immortal, then three immortals can have five immortals.â li qiye smiled.
