Lu Yan's mind shook, as if a thunderclap exploded in his brain.
Perceiving the essence of various versions, not changing with the myriad things, nor restricted by any particular version, isn't this precisely Lu Yan, who possesses the Unchanging trait?
At this moment, he suddenly realized why the one behind the immortality version would not hesitate to discard the supreme treasure, the Profound Vagina Door, just to lure him into the immortality version.
The reason for all this is because Lu Yan is the very unique being these This World's Only Ones are desperately searching for across all worlds!
Lu Yan's existence is a rare opportunity for the one behind the immortality version.
Within the demon version, they had countless chances to kill Lu Yan, yet they always adopted a step-by-step approach to make Lu Yan actively choose the immortality version. The purpose was to uncover the truth about the unique trait Lu Yan possesses from all worlds.
To them, a dead Lu Yan holds no value; only Lu Yan, who carries the unique trait from all worlds, can allow them to grasp that realm which almost only exists conceptually.
Thinking of this, Lu Yan suddenly met Jiang Zhiwei's meaningful gaze.
These World's Only Ones yearn for the uniqueness across worlds; does Jiang Zhiwei also pursue such a possibility? Did they intentionally highlight the unique trait across worlds, having already known something?
In an instant, Lu Yan's spirit tightened to the extreme, fearing that the amiable Immortal in front of him might suddenly attack.
But to Lu Yan's surprise, Jiang Zhiwei merely gave him a meaningful look.
They seem to know everything but pretend to know nothing.
"The This World's Only Ones are all desperately searching for the path to the uniqueness across worlds, causing the once proud immortals to begin wavering.
Born in the high-energy Xianxia version, their position is equal to the This World's Only Ones, yet they have reached the end of the celestial path due to version limitations.
Some immortals are unwilling to stand by this Xianxia version and also wish to ascend to the great transcendence of the uniqueness across worlds, attempting to invade other versions alongside the This World's Only Ones to enhance themselves.
However, version invasion will inevitably involve the Xianxia Celestial Dao, and another group of immortals, through the state of the This World's Only Ones, vaguely suspects that version invasion will result in irreparable consequences due to the collision of different celestial rules.
Thus, disagreements arose among the immortals, splitting the originally stable world.
Those who insisted on sticking to the Xianxia version founded the Profound Sect, while those attempting to initiate version invasion established the Demon Dao. Neither side could persuade the other, leading to several wars that changed the situation in the Cultivation Realm."
"But... the human heart is subject to change, as is the heart of the immortals.
Over time, version invasions have become increasingly frequent, and remnants from the previous wars continue to conduct version invasions on the Xianxia version.
They do not descend in their true forms but instead quietly infiltrate the Xianxia version using rules from other versions.
Some This World's Only Ones believe that the Xianxia version is crucial in this world, and once they can erode the Xianxia version and monopolize the Xianxia Celestial Dao, there is a substantial possibility of ascending to the uniqueness across worlds.
Facing such a situation, some immortals began to waver, and some even chose to abandon the sects they founded and joined the Demon Dao, seeking methods for version invasion."
Pausing briefly, Jiang Zhiwei's gaze seemed to penetrate Lu Yan's body, observing the cyclical path of his cultivation technique.
With a playful smile, Jiang Zhiwei slowly spoke:
"This naturally includes the Moral Immortal who founded the Daoist Sect thousands of years ago.
He was one of the oldest immortals in this land, compiling the rules of human virtue and benefiting from the Xianxia Celestial Dao.
Thousands of years ago, he decided to abandon his identity as the Moral Immortal and joined the Demon Dao, leading to a siege by various righteous sects, eventually transforming into the Karma Immortal.
His disciple, the Red Lotus Demon Venerable, established the Red Lotus Demon Sect, and with the support of the Karma Immortal founded the seventh supreme sect of the Demon Dao."
Lu Yan's expression changed drastically again.
From the early days of his cultivation journey, Lu Yan already knew the legends of the Ancient Daoist Sect and the events of its destruction after a siege by the Profound Sect.
Back then, Lu Yan thought that there must be an earth-shattering conspiracy behind this, but never expected the truth to be so absurd.
"Once, the virtuous immortal established human virtue to benefit the world; now, the Karma Immortal sees all things as mere sustenance.
The cultivation technique of the Red Lotus Demon Sect isn't easy to learn, young one, you better take care of yourself!"
Jiang Zhiwei teased, looking as if ready to witness a show.
After composing himself slightly, Lu Yan bowed respectfully to Jiang Zhiwei: "Thank you for the warning, First True Inheritance!"
These words absolutely stem from sincerity, for without Jiang Zhiwei's warning, Lu Yan might remain unaware of the truth behind the Daoist Sect and the crises hidden within the cultivation technique for a long time.
Jiang Zhiwei smirked, initially intending to frighten Lu Yan, but unexpectedly receiving such a straightforward response, Jiang Zhiwei suddenly felt a bit bored.
After bowing and standing upright, seeing Jiang Zhiwei remained silent, Lu Yan took the initiative to inquire:
"According to what the First True Inheritance said, could it be because..."
As he spoke, Lu Yan pointed at the tablet that Jiang Zhiwei had kicked aside.
"Exactly!" Jiang Zhiwei responded straightforwardly: Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✶𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✶𝓷𝓮𝓽
"Taiyi Immortal also sought the path for version invasion, but his approach was even more radical than the Demon Dao.
Seven hundred years ago, Taiyi Immortal enticed a This World's Only One named Muddy Method Spirit Venerable to invade the present world, creating a Muddy Technique Forbidden Land.
