The Legend of Immortality in the Nine Heavens Season 1: Lin Xiuya Chapter

Prologue·Nine Heavens Continent Before the world opened, there was chaos. There is no light, no darkness, no top, no bottom, only the most primitive Hongmeng energy churning and blending in the boundless void. In the center of this boundless chaos, there are six heavenly books that are naturally condensed from the original laws of heaven and earth. They are not classics in the ordinary sense, but the embodiment of the rules of the great road. They are the principles that have existed since the birth of the universe. These six heavenly books are "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", "Qimen Dunjia", "Shen Nong's Pharmacopoeia", "Martial Arts Heavenly Book", "Illustrated Records of Divine Weapons", and "Books of Magical Techniques". "The Book of Mountains and Seas" records the origins and true names of all mountains, rivers, geography, rare animals, scenery and gods in the world; "Qi Men Dun Jia" explains the infinite mysteries of time and space flow, formation deduction, and destiny mysteries; "Shen Nong's Pharmacopoeia" includes the creation of all things, pharmacology and toxicology, and resurrection; The "Book of Heaven and Heaven" is engraved with the supreme method of tempering the body, penetrating the meridians, and reaching the pinnacle of martial arts; the "Picture Book of Divine Weapons" depicts the ultimate skills of collecting the essence of heaven and earth, introducing rules into weapons, and forging unparalleled magic weapons; and the "Book of Magic Techniques" brings together the original runes that communicate with heaven and earth, drive elements, and perform thousands of magic techniques. These six books record all the laws of heaven and earth and are the key to the end of "Tao". They hang quietly in the depths of chaos, exuding the eternal and weak brilliance of Taoism, as if they are sleeping, and as if they are waiting for the destined person who can bear its weight. However, an unprecedented catastrophe completely tore apart this eternal tranquility and changed everything. In ancient times, the Immortal Emperor who ruled the Immortal Realm and the Demon Emperor who ruled the Demonic Realm fought for the ownership of these six heavenly books containing supreme power, and a war between immortals and demons spread across nine heavens and ten lands. It was a tragic war that cannot be described in words, surpassing all records in later history books. Under the command of the Immortal Emperor, the protective power of the ten directions turned into bright stars. In front of the Demon Emperor's seat, the evil aura from the ten directions condensed into a monstrous black tide. Countless immortals, demon generals, heavenly soldiers, and demonic soldiers under both sides launched a desperate fight in the nine heavens. That battle caused the sky to burst, the sun and moon to lose light, and the stars to roll back. Countless powerful beings fell like meteors, and their blood spread across the void like a downpour, dyeing the originally clear sky into a sad dark red; their skeletons, wrapped with broken magic weapons and unwilling remnants, fell to the mortal world like meteors, creating bottomless craters one after another on the earth, causing the earth to shake and magma to surge, just like the end of the world. The most brutal blow even affected the six heavenly books themselves. The collision of vast origin forces made the six treasures unable to withstand it. They shattered in the violent shock and turned into countless fragments, large or small. Like star fragments, they were scattered to the vast lower realm along with the remains of fallen immortals and demons. Thousands of years passed slowly by. The seas are changing, the stars are changing. The huge pits that were smashed out gradually filled up with rainwater, turning into lakes as deep as mirrors; the raging wind and quicksand healed the scars of the war, covering the wilderness and turning it into a vast wilderness. The bones of immortals and demons buried deep in the ground slowly released their remaining spiritual energy and original power over a long period of time, silently nourishing and transforming this traumatized land, causing its spiritual veins to gradually grow, and the mountains and rivers began to breed wonders - this is the origin of what later generations called the "Nine Heavens Continent". The six shattered fragments of the Book of Heaven are scattered in every corner of the Jiuxiao Continent, either hidden in famous mountains and rivers, hidden in secret places, or wandering in the ordinary world. Each fragment carries part of the laws of heaven and earth and the supreme inheritance. The fate of those who obtain it often changes drastically: someone accidentally finds a fragment of the "Book of Martial Arts", realizes the lost secrets, and soars into the sky; someone finds a corner of the "Illustrated Book of Divine Weapons" and refines weapons according to the diagram, and finally becomes an unparalleled magic weapon; there are even people who understand nature because of the fragments of the "Shen Nong Pharmacopoeia" and live dead human flesh and white bones, becoming a medicine sage. These fragments have become the supreme opportunity that countless cultivators on the Jiuxiao Continent dream of and fight to the death. And the legacy left by that ancient war goes far beyond the fragments of the Book of Heaven. The ten "powers of protection from ten directions" under the Immortal Emperor's seat, which symbolize order, protection and light, and the ten "powers of protection from ten directions" under the Demon Emperor's command, which represent chaos, destruction and darkness, were also shattered and separated in the ultimate collision, but did not completely dissipate. They were combined with the powerful residual souls and obsessions after the death of the immortals and demons. After millions of years of nourishment by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the gestation of the origin of the continent, they gradually produced incredible transformations. The remnant soul of the immortal was fused with the power of guardianship, and in places where graceful bells and righteousness gathered throughout the continent, ten great beasts were born: the Yinglong that moved clouds and rain, the Fire Qilin that walked on fire, and the Nirvana that was reborn. The phoenix, the white tiger in charge of killing, the Kunpeng that travels in the nine heavens, the Haechi that distinguishes right from wrong, the nine-tailed fox that charms all living beings, Baize who knows all things, the Xuanwu that is in charge of defense, and the Qingluan that symbolizes auspiciousness. Their nature is almost bright, their intelligence is extremely high, and they have the ability to move mountains and seas. Only those who are destined to have a pure and clear mind, an extraordinary fate, and are recognized by them can form a blood contract of life and death. The combination of the ferocity of the devil and the cruel obsession gave birth to ten ferocious beasts in those filthy places and bloody abyss: the chaos that devours all things, the gluttonous glutton, and the unruly and untamable beasts. The , the ferocious and cruel , the nine-headed monster snake nine babies, the chisel-like teeth, Qiongqi with wings on its back, the huge mountain-like Fengxi, the slender and terrifying Xiu snake, and the nine-headed venomous snake Xiangliu. They are bloodthirsty and soul-devouring, extremely violent, and often travel thousands of miles across the land. Only the Lords of the Ten Directions Demon Realms in the Demon Realm, who are extremely powerful and ruthless, can suppress and tame them with absolute power, and use them as terrifying weapons for conquest and killing. These are two extreme existences born from the battle of the same origin, but they have gone to different ends of the road between light and darkness. Ancient prophecies circulated: When the ten sacred beasts and the ten ferocious beasts appear in the world, there will be a great disaster and the world will be turbulent; and when they recognize their masters one by one, it will also be the beginning of the revival of the Jiuxiao Continent and the reshaping of the pattern. Every appearance and choice they make will profoundly affect the destiny of the continent. The Jiuxiao Continent has a radius of tens of millions of miles and is vast and boundless. Under the continent, spiritual veins are criss-crossed, just like the meridians of the human body, continuously breeding and circulating the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, making the immortal energy (spiritual energy) permeate the continent, nourishing all things, and giving birth to countless immortal sects, aristocratic families, and powerful beings. In the center of the continent, a natural barrier stretching for millions of miles, towering into the clouds, and as steep as a natural chasm, the Duanxian Cliff, completely separates the continent. The Duanxian Cliff is shrouded in strange clouds and violent winds formed by the conflicting auras of the two realms all year round. It is difficult for birds to cross, and it has become a natural barrier that separates the two places. To the west of the cliff is the Immortal Realm, which is vast and fertile, with numerous sects. It is composed of ten directions of heaven and earth (or ten Immortal Realms). Each has an Immortal Emperor guarding one side, maintaining order, and jointly resisting the Demonic Realm. To the east of Yaya is the Demon Realm. The environment is relatively harsh and the forces are divided. It is also divided into ten demon realms, each governed by a demon emperor and all loyal to the supreme demon god. Since the ancient war between immortals and demons, the two clans of immortals and demons on both sides of the Broken Immortal Cliff have forged a blood feud that has lasted for thousands of years. They have been constantly fighting each other, and the wars have stopped. The hatred has long been engraved in the bone marrow and inheritance of both sides, and it has never really stopped. Therefore, the legend about the fragments of the six heavenly books scattered all over the world, as well as the traces and prophecies of the ten sacred beasts and the ten ferocious beasts, have been passed down from generation to generation on the Jiuxiao Continent, and have become the ultimate dream of countless immortal cultivators who pursue their lifelong pursuit, eager to defy heaven and change their fate, and transcend reincarnation. It is generally believed in the world that if a person with great luck and perseverance can collect the six books, awaken and obtain the power of the ten beasts, he can master the principles of heaven and earth, transcend the constraints of this world, achieve the supreme road, and even have the ability to restart the ultimate battle that never truly determined the winner and decided the ownership of heaven and earth thousands of years ago. However, the prediction is ultimately vague and the future is difficult to predict. No one knows when, how, or for whom this legendary day will come. All causes and effects are hidden in the long river of time, flowing quietly, waiting for the opportunity to be triggered. Thousands of years of time, just a blink of an eye. In the Immortal Xuantian Realm, there is a majestic mountain range full of spiritual energy - deep in the Lin Family Mountain Range. A clear and powerful baby's cry suddenly broke through the long silent night, startling countless spiritual birds who were practicing in the mountains, flapping their wings and flying towards the twilight sky. At this time, no one knew that this baby, who was born in a family of immortal cultivators that had begun to decline and was about to be repeatedly crushed by cruel fate and reshaped in desperate circumstances, would one day become the first person to unlock the secrets of heaven and earth that had been sealed for thousands of years and stir up the storm in the sky. He will lose everything he once cherished on the road of growth, and will regain everything in ruins and abyss; he will fall into the darkest abyss of despair, and with his unyielding will and chance, he will climb step by step from the bottom of the abyss until he reaches the top of the unreachable sky. The story begins here. Intention: Xianxia
