Chapter 301: Has been destroyed?

After Hong Xuan settled, Li Yun lifted a teacup, took a sip, and leisurely said, "Is the Eternal City in such a hurry to return to its original world?"

"Well…" Hong Xuan rubbed his hands, a somewhat embarrassed smile on his face.

Truth be told, he had no idea what the original world was like. He was born after wandering in chaos with the Eternal City Lord as his master. In the entire Eternal City, there was only the City Lord who retained memories of the original world. As the Grand Commander, Hong Xuan naturally followed the will of the City Lord. If the City Lord wanted to go back, he would go back.

"No need to be nervous; I was just speaking casually," Li Yun said softly.

Hong Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried that the Pavilion Master might have ulterior motives, preventing the Eternal City from returning. If the Pavilion Master didn't allow them to leave, relying on their own strength, they might spend their entire lives in the Heavenly Origin Realm without returning. If they could have gone back earlier, there would be no need for the delay.

"Please, Senior, if there's any advice for the eager hearts of the hundreds of thousands of living beings in the Eternal City, feel free to enlighten us," Hong Xuan said, producing a divine medicine that emitted ethereal energy, capturing the soul with its radiant brilliance.

This was an Emperor Grade Medicine, difficult to cultivate, but the Eternal City had several. Even the methods of becoming an Emperor were abundant within the Eternal City, making their foundation almost unrivaled in the Heavenly Origin Realm.

After taking out the Emperor Grade Medicine, Hong Xuan anxiously watched Li Yun. While Emperor Grade Medicine was precious, it had to be compared to something. Even compared to the Heavenly Origin Realm, it lacked a lot.

However, against their original world, the difference was even more significant. Luckily, they weren't seeking detailed information about the world, just a way back. The value of such a path depended solely on the word of the Pavilion Master.

"An Emperor Grade spirit medicine," Li Yun casually picked up the medicine, examined it, and spoke, "The value is not enough. However, I can tell you something."

"Please enlighten us, Senior!" Hong Xuan quickly responded. Hearing the first half, he felt somewhat disappointed, but the latter part excited him. The information from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion had already proven valuable. Meng Qingzhi, who had just become an Emperor, was a testament to that. What could they rely on to scheme against him? It was none other than the information from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion.

"Don't get too excited yet," Li Yun glanced at Hong Xuan, speaking calmly, "What I'm about to say may not be the information you want to hear."

"Uh…" Hong Xuan's expression froze, and he stiffly clasped his hands, saying, "Please, Senior, speak frankly."

"It seems that the Eternal City may not be able to return," Li Yun put down the teacup, solemnly stating.

"Cannot return?" Hong Xuan was stunned for a moment, struggling to process the information. He couldn't believe it. "Senior, do you mean that we can't open a spatial passage, or that our original world has…"

"Opening a spatial passage is easy," Li Yun said nonchalantly. "With the strength of the Eternal City Lord, he could open one in an instant. But what if your original world has already been destroyed?" Li Yun's gaze fixed on Hong Xuan.

"Destroyed?" Hong Xuan exclaimed, standing up, incredulous. For a moment, he was unable to comprehend the situation. He wasn't sure, "How is this possible?"

"Nothing is impossible." Li Yun waved his hand, signaling Hong Xuan to calm down. He spoke confidently, "Although you haven't been to your original world, you should have some understanding. Moreover, why the Eternal City ended up in chaos, you should be aware of that too."

"Well… I do have some understanding," Hong Xuan nodded.

"Hmm," Li Yun chuckled lightly and continued, "Your original world was called Profound Flame Realm, one of the top-tier worlds among the myriad realms. It was powerful. However, after a battle between two terrifying figures, Profound Flame Realm disintegrated into three separate worlds: Profound Light Realm, Profound Secret Realm, and True Martial Realm.

"Among them, Profound Light Realm is the strongest, and True Martial Realm is the weakest," Li Yun explained.

Hong Xuan sat woodenly on the chair, as if all his strength had been drained. His eyes seemed lifeless.

"Your Eternal City originally sought refuge in the chaos to avoid disaster, and now, wanting to return to the Profound Flame Realm is impossible. However, it's not difficult to go to the other three worlds. By the way, let me remind you, these three worlds have greatly weakened in strength. With the City Lord's current power, even if he goes, his lifespan won't be restored unless he quickly breaks through the True Immortal Realm and steps into a higher realm."

"This…" The news hit Hong Xuan hard. The dream pursued by hundreds of thousands of beings in the Eternal City turned out to be an illusion, a mirage. This was too difficult to accept, especially when he learned that his City Lord couldn't extend his lifespan. It left him in despair.

Without the City Lord's presence, even if they went to any of the three worlds, what could they achieve? These three worlds were originally split from the top-tier worlds, each with profound foundations, capable of producing True Immortals effortlessly. There might even be existences beyond True Immortals.

If they went without a True Immortal overseeing them, they would, at best, be a first-rate force. Moreover, there was no guarantee that they would be accepted. More likely, they would be met with hostility. Without the City Lord and facing attacks from various forces, the Eternal City would soon vanish.

It was better to stay in the Heavenly Origin Realm, enjoying their dominance over the three-acre land, especially since, apart from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, they couldn't find any force in the Heavenly Origin Realm or the Purple Profound Realm that could challenge them.

"Senior, is there any way to make the original Profound Flame Realm reappear?" Hong Xuan asked softly. His curiosity was piqued by the union of the Heavenly Origin Realm and the Purple Profound Realm. If two unrelated worlds could merge, why couldn't a world that was originally one entity?
