Seven-Absolute Immortal Lord

In a mountain forest.

A youth with red lips and white teeth, dressed in a Daoist robe, sat cross-legged on a massive boulder. His face was immature, his hair was tied up in a Daoist topknot, and wisps of mysterious Daoist charm lingered around his entire body.

Kneeling before him was an old man.

This old man was none other than the Immortal King powerhouse who had faced the World-Destroying Demon Emperor twice and survived—the Great Elder of the Heaven-Severing Sect.

The poor Great Elder had his cultivation drained by the World-Destroying Demon Emperor twice. Just as he was in complete despair, his vision went black, and he found himself before this young Daoist.

Through their conversation, he learned that this young Daoist was actually an Immortal Lord powerhouse who had lived for endless years and returned from the Eternal Era.

Immortal Lord Qijue!

"Tell me in detail what you know about the World-Destroying Demon Emperor, Gu Qingfeng. As someone who has survived him twice, you should know him very well, right?" the young Daoist, who was Immortal Lord Qijue, said indifferently.

Although the Great Elder was a Peak Immortal King, facing such an Immortal Lord powerhouse from the Eternal Era, he had no choice but to lower his noble head and act exceedingly submissive.

"Yes, Lord Immortal."

Following that, the Great Elder embellished and recounted all of Gu Qingfeng's deeds, including his origins in the Sixth Star Ruins, how he committed atrocities there, and how he later wreaked havoc across the entire Meteor Abyss.

The Great Elder spoke of Gu Qingfeng's evil deeds for a full two hours before finally finishing.

Immortal Lord Qijue listened very patiently. For a figure like him, time was the last thing he lacked.

"So, the Eternal Era was truly opened by Gu Qingfeng?" Immortal Lord Qijue asked indifferently.

"It should be so. After all, the World-Destroying Demon Emperor said it himself."

"Oh? You actually believe the words of a demon?"

The Great Elder said in a deep voice, "If it were any other fiend, this junior might have reconsidered, but what the World-Destroying Demon Emperor says should not be false."

"Why is that?" Immortal Lord Qijue asked, intrigued. "Didn't you say earlier that he even disguised himself as your sect's Dao Child to infiltrate the Heaven-Severing Sect?"

The Great Elder nodded and said, "The World-Destroying Demon Emperor is indeed very cunning, but based on this junior's understanding of this demon, he shouldn't lie because he is extremely arrogant. This junior has never seen anyone so arrogant in his entire life.

With such an insolent personality, this demon would definitely disdain to lie."

Immortal Lord Qijue nodded in agreement, "Indeed. A powerhouse like him would naturally disdain lying to an ant."

The Great Elder: "........."

Is that polite??

"Although this demon is powerful, opening the Eternal Era is absolutely not something human power can achieve. Therefore, this seat concludes that this demon must harbor a great secret regarding the Eternal Era, perhaps related to the Flame of the Era," Immortal Lord Qijue muttered to himself, his hands continuously forming hand seals to calculate the heavenly secrets.

"Flame of the Era? What is the Flame of the Era?" the Great Elder asked curiously.

At this time, Immortal Lord Qijue slapped his forehead in realization, "This seat almost forgot you were still here."

As soon as his voice fell, Immortal Lord Qijue flicked his sleeve. A breeze instantly blew across the Great Elder's body.

Following that, an unbelievable scene occurred. The Great Elder's figure actually dissipated like green smoke, blown away by this breeze.

He scattered between heaven and earth without a trace.

"Back then, when Lin Daoxuan snatched the Flame of the Era from this seat's hands, this seat felt something was amiss. I did not expect this Flame of the Era to have such wondrous uses. I just didn't expect that, in the end, this Flame of the Era would actually fall into the hands of the World-Destroying Demon Emperor.

Could this World-Destroying Demon Emperor be Lin Daoxuan's reincarnation? Although their styles of doing things are completely different, whether he is or not, I will only know after meeting him."

Immortal Lord Qijue slowly stood up. At the mention of Lin Daoxuan, a rare flash of killing intent crossed his calm eyes.

The Flame of the Era was his item of enlightenment. It was precisely by relying on the Flame of the Era that he was called the most stunning and brilliant person in the Eternal Era.

By relying on the countless divine abilities, secret techniques, and laws of order within the Flame of the Era, he roamed unmatched throughout an entire era. He integrated its knowledge into himself and ultimately created the Seven Ultimate Skills, using them to prove his Dao as an Immortal Lord.

This was also the origin of the name Immortal Lord Qijue.

But all of this was shattered with the appearance of Lin Daoxuan.

That was Lin Daoxuan's sixth lifetime. He was like a dazzling meteor, brilliantly shining for an instant.

He proved his Dao as an Immortal Lord at an extremely fast speed, defeated Immortal Lord Qijue, and snatched away the Flame of the Era.

This incident was regarded by Immortal Lord Qijue as the greatest humiliation of his life.

Even though he was proficient in all the divine abilities and wondrous techniques in the world, they were all broken by Lin Daoxuan with a single sword—breaking all laws!

Now that he had resurrected and returned, a powerhouse like Lin Daoxuan would surely return as well. Immortal Lord Qijue firmly believed this.

That man would absolutely not be submerged in the Eternal Era.

Immortal Lord Qijue wanted revenge, wanted to defeat Lin Daoxuan, but relying solely on his current self was not enough.

He had to understand the root cause of Lin Daoxuan's strength, and the Flame of the Era was a very good starting point.

Facts proved that the Flame of the Era was absolutely not as simple as just inheriting knowledge; it definitely had other wondrous uses.

Therefore, Immortal Lord Qijue decided to make a move against Gu Qingfeng. Since Gu Qingfeng possessed the Flame of the Era, even if he wasn't Lin Daoxuan's reincarnation, he was definitely inextricably linked to him!

After pondering for a moment, Immortal Lord Qijue suddenly transformed into thousands of incarnations, splitting into ten thousand clones and heading everywhere.

He was going to look for some allies, people who were hostile to Lin Daoxuan, to form an alliance.

As a Ten-Lifetime Immortal Lord, Lin Daoxuan was active in ten eras, reaching the summit every time. On his path to the top, the enemies he made were not just a few.

Now that the Eternal Era had reappeared, those enemies of his had also returned one by one from the long river of time.

..........

In the First Star Ruins, within the Heaven-Severing Sect.

After that battle, Gu Qingfeng did not leave the Heaven-Severing Sect. Instead, he had been searching for Lin Daoxuan's sword, attempting to draw Lin Daoxuan out.

In the entire Eternal Era, the only one who could pique his interest was Lin Daoxuan.

A Ten-Lifetime Immortal Lord, unparalleled in the world in every lifetime. If he could successfully devour such an existence, it would definitely be far more satisfying than devouring ten Immortal Lords.

It was just a pity that Gu Qingfeng stayed in the Heaven-Severing Sect for a full month and searched for a month, turning the entire Heaven-Severing Sect upside down, yet he couldn't find that sword at all, as if it didn't even exist.

From this, it could be seen how unfathomable Lin Daoxuan was. He had laid out plans for the Eternal Era, hiding his sword in the Heaven-Severing Sect, yet it couldn't be found at all.

One must know that Gu Qingfeng had used the Touch of Ghosts and Gods to search every inch of land and every slice of the void, absolutely 360 degrees without any blind spots, but he still couldn't find it.

This made Gu Qingfeng even more interested in Lin Daoxuan. He decided to temporarily settle in the Heaven-Severing Sect. Since he couldn't find the sword, he would wait for Lin Daoxuan to come and get it.

As long as he stayed in the Heaven-Severing Sect, he would see Lin Daoxuan sooner or later.

However, the only thing that made Gu Qingfeng feel strange was that the Eternal Era had clearly reappeared, and all the Immortal Lord powerhouses had emerged one by one, yet Lin Daoxuan, the number one powerhouse of the ages, was nowhere to be seen.
