Chapter 593  The Truth

Emperor Long then began to tell Chen Li about the matter. "You may not know it yet, but your planet is one of the ancient planets in our universe. However, it was the ancient planet that was born last, and the people born there were descendants of the ancients, but the distance from there to the Five Divine Heavens is the end to the end."

"Doesn't that mean those two places are the ends of this universe?"

"Yes." Emperor Long responded with a nod. "Unlike the Five Divine Heavens, which are located at the front end and close to the source of qi in this universe, your planet is located at the back end. That's why the qi on that planet is too weak, and the cultivators there were not as strong as other cultivators. Unfortunately, all of our reincarnations before me didn't care about that planet, so the situation there continued to decline because cultivators from other realms kept trying to invade it repeatedly, which was due to the abundance of cultivation resources there."

"Hmm?" Chen Li raised his eyebrows for a moment before nodding in understanding to Emperor Long. "Even though my planet has so many cultivation resources, they won't be able to cultivate faster, mainly because of the different quality of Qi."

"That's right." Emperor Long then told Chen Li again. "The quality of Qi in the higher realms is indeed the best for cultivators and beasts, but the population is too large now, and many resources are starting to become scarce, so they try to get resources from other realms, especially the lower realms. Meanwhile, the situation on your planet is deteriorating with each passing era, leading to a decrease in the birth of new cultivators and an increase in the birth of mortals, thereby making it easier for those invaders to conquer it.

"So what's your real purpose in sealing my planet? There's no way you're doing that just to repel those cultivator invaders, right?"

"Why are you in such a hurry?" While shaking his head, Emperor Long asked Chen Li. "I discovered your planet after I ascended the throne, and I have thought of many ways to improve it, including forbidding them from setting foot there. However, my efforts were in vain, and they continued to invade there, destroying a quarter of the planet. Ultimately, I unearthed an ancient formation known as the Golden Restraint Formation Array, which exhibited multiple effects. First, the formation suppresses the Qi, preventing anyone from absorbing it. Once we remove the formation, the long-suppressed Qi will increase severalfold. Second, it hides the resources and various things related to cultivation, and not a single cultivator can find them, so those who come from other realms won't target that planet anymore. Third, I left the keys to remove the formation in several places on that planet, but you won't be able to take them with your current cultivation."

"Is it true that if we remove that formation, the Qi in the earth will increase severalfold?"

"Yes." Emperor Long nodded to Chen Li. "In fact, the Five Divine Heavens once used that formation, and its proximity to the universe's Qi source made it superior to other realms."

"Oh?" Hearing that momentarily took Chen Li aback. "Does that imply that Earth will also ascend to the middle or upper realms?"

"Yes and no." Emperor Long's answer made Chen Li raise his eyebrows. "As long as the planet is still in its current position, the already increasing Qi will gradually thin out if many cultivators inhabit the planet again, so you have to move it near the Qi resource, and the most suitable location is in the upper realms. However, it's not an easy thing to do; not even Xiao Shijian can do it, and you need the help of many people to be able to move it."

Chen Li himself realized that moving a planet from one end to the other was not an easy matter and would require a huge amount of energy. Even though Xiao Shijian was basically immortal, her ability consumed too much Qi, so she would not be able to do it alone, and she would fall into a deep slumber before she managed to move it. "Do you think Shijian can take those keys?"

"Unfortunately, Shjian won't be able to help you retrieve those keys; otherwise, she would have already retrieved them long ago, and you are the only cultivator who can retrieve them, especially since those keys are bound to your soul." After hearing Emperor Long's answer, Chen Li let out a heavy sigh, realizing that his goal of returning the Qi to Earth was clearly unattainable in the near future. "Moreover, the planet hasn't been sealed for too long, and the effect of the formation hasn't reached its peak yet, so you don't need to think about that and focus more on your own life, especially since you're still too weak."

"Yeah, you're right." Chen Li then asked him again. "Then, what about the remains of the cultivators on my planet? Are there many other remains there?"

Emperor Long replied with a nod. "There are still many cultivator relics left, but not all cultivators can access them, including you and Xian'er. As for Dongfang Hanxue and Dongfang Hanyue, the relics of the Ice Phoenix and White Tiger's bloodlines chose them to be their owners over their own accord, or else they wouldn't be able to find either of them. Anyway, you've been here for too long, so I'll send you out now, but after this, you should be able to understand how to get into this place, and you can come in here whenever you want later."

After hearing that, Chen Li nodded in relief. "All right, I still have a lot of business in the outside world, so you can send me out now."

After Emperor Long waved his hand, Chen Li disappeared from the place, but he then turned in another direction and asked the person hiding in the dark. "Don't you want to come out to see me, Hermit Long?"

"Hahaha!" Hermit Long laughed before appearing in front of Emperor Long. "Your time is running out, and you'll disappear soon, especially since he's got a lot of your old memories now."

"Isn't that natural?" Emperor Long asked with an unencumbered expression. "We are just remnants of our memories, and we will all disappear when he gets everything back, so I don't mind that. However, I still don't know what will happen to him after he gets all your memories, and I hope he won't be as evil as you."

"Hey, I once told you that there is one of our reincarnations who is much more evil than me, remember? Unfortunately, you have never met him before, so you can't understand his horror." Emperor Long scowled in response to Hermit Long's comments. "My memories probably won't affect him too much, but meeting that devil Long Wang will change everything, especially because he is a pure devil and his memories will undoubtedly greatly affect him; most likely, they will turn him into pure evil like him."

Before asking him, Emperor Long nodded in understanding. "Does that mean you became so cruel because of the influence of the devil Long Wang's memories?"

"Yeah." Hermit Long gave him a nod of approval, especially since that was indeed the case. "Unlike you, I was born as a black dragon, and my basic nature was already quite cruel, but I was still able to control my evil side before I met the devil Long Wang. However, many things changed after I met him, and his memories had a significant influence on my character. Fortunately, I didn't live as long as you, or else there would be so many people who suffered because of me."

"Sometimes I thought that you weren't that cruel, and you still had a heart of compassion."

"Ha ha!" Hermit Long laughed at that, but his expression suddenly became serious. "Anyway, you have to tell him about the sword, or he'll end up the same as us."

"Sword?" Emperor Long raised his eyebrows as he tried to remember it. "You mean the sword Sophia used to stab me?"

Hermit Long nodded to him. "All of us are born with indestructible bodies, and that sword is the only item that can kill us. However, I don't know for sure where it came from or who created it, especially since I didn't succeed with all of our predecessors. If my guess is correct, it has existed since the era of ancient Long Wang, and it is also what killed him."

"Hmm?" After hearing that, Emperor Long became engrossed in thought. "If that sword has existed since the ancient Long Wang era, then Xiao Shijian should know of its existence, right?"

"Yes." Hermit Long then looked at Emperor Long with a solemn expression. "I once suspected that Xiao Shijian had something to do with the death of the ancient Long Wang, but I didn't know about her purpose in killing him, especially since they had lived together for billions of years."

Emperor Long let out a heavy sigh and looked far away. "I'll tell Chen Li about the sword if he comes here again, but I won't tell him about your allegations, especially since you don't have any evidence to support them."

"It's up to you, then."
