Capítulo 2039: Chapter 2038: Battle Records Through the Ages, Alliance with the Sea Beasts
“When Immortal Island appeared, the Death Swamp had always been there.
But initially, this Death Swamp was in a dormant state, and it’s unclear when it started to awaken and expand.”
“Do you believe in the legend of the Old Tree?” Xu Zii asked.
From what Xu Zii had learned earlier, the sea beast tribe believed in the Old Tree.
However, the humans on Immortal Island treated the Old Tree legend with disdain, always considering it a re myth.
Initially, Xu Zii was uncertain, but he beca convinced of the existence of the Immortal Token and the Curse within it, leading to the condensation of the Cursed Body.
He began to acknowledge that the Old Tree might not be just a legend.
Upon hearing Xu Zii’s question, Elder Buhui beca much more serious.
He was silent for a mont before replying, “I won’t lie to you, we didn’t believe in the Old Tree initially.
But until the Divine Emperor went to the Death Swamp.
A branch appeared from within it.”
“A branch?” Xu Zii was curious.
Elder Buhui nodded.
“After the Divine Emperor entered the Death Swamp, he never ca out again.
However, three days later, a branch flew out and landed outside the Death Swamp.”
“We picked up the branch, and upon examination, we couldn’t identify its species.”
“We could only discover that the branch contained a strong curse power.
Since then, we began to believe in the existence of the Old Tree.”
“Well, you were certainly slow,” Xu Zii replied.
“Can I have a look at that branch later?”
Elder Buhui thought for a mont and nodded.
“It should be possible. The Alliance Leader sees you as the highest partner; we try to et all your conditions as much as we can.”
Xu Zii continued to review these docunts.
According to records, the Death Swamp has expanded nine tis.
The history notes this.
The first few expansions of the Death Swamp drew little attention.
But eventually, no matter how powerful the beings were, once they entered, they never returned, gradually turning it into a Forbidden Land.
The Divine Emperor’s disappearance further solidified its fearso reputation.
During the nine expansions of the Death Swamp, there were conflicts with Immortal Island three tis.
Respectively, during the sixth, seventh, and eighth expansions.
During the sixth expansion, a first-rate power acted as the main force to attack the Death Swamp.
The result was that they never returned.
In the seventh expansion, a superpower was the main force, along with many powerful Loose Cultivators.
Yet, they faced defeat again.
And the eighth expansion was the battle that terrified the entire Immortal Island and shocked it with the Divine Emperor’s involvent.
At that ti, the Divine Emperor, along with his followers and several superpowers, went into the Death Swamp.
Many believed he would succeed.
Such a formidable force would be hard to ignore anywhere.
Yet even with such power, a being like the Divine Emperor, he never returned.
From then on, the Death Swamp’s dreadful reputation not only spread through Immortal Island but also throughout the Robbery Immortal Domain.
It was because of the enormous failure of the eighth expansion that during the ninth expansion, no one dared to stop it.
Until now, the Death Swamp is about to embark on its tenth expansion.
Moreover, the expansion rate of the Death Swamp has been increasing and happening more frequently over the years.
Initially, it expanded every few hundred years, but now it expands every few decades.
This led to the existence of the Death Ancient City, the formation of the Nine Heavens Alliance, and the alliance between the Human Emperor and the Mountain-Controlling River Emperor.
The tenth expansion of the Death Swamp is bound to result in a major conflict with the Nine Heavens Alliance.
This conflict will be decisive.
It will determine the fate and future of Immortal Island.
If this ti fails, Immortal Island will never again have the ability to block the Death Swamp.
However, if successful, Immortal Island will completely resolve this crisis.
Hence, this battle is critical.
Therefore, the Nine Heavens Alliance Leader complies with Xu Zii’s requests, she is putting everything on the line.
Her own life, including the future of Immortal Island.
Xu Zii sighed as he looked through these materials.
Apart from the Death Swamp, there was also information about the sea beast tribe.
“Why don’t you cooperate with the sea beasts?” Xu Zii curiously asked.
“From what I know, the sea beast tribe is also very apprehensive about the Old Tree, why not join forces against the Death Swamp?”
Upon hearing this, Elder Buhui laughed.
“Have you interacted with sea beasts before?”
“The sea beast tribe too is a group of foolish creatures.
They believe the Death Swamp is invincible.
They think we are all descendants of the Old Tree, and only by killing us all can the secret of the Death Swamp be unraveled.”
“Without the bloodline, the Old Tree cannot resurrect.
The Death Swamp believes it will not expand.”
Xu Zii slightly frowned, finding the logic too extre.
However, in this battle, if they had the sea beast tribe, it might increase their chances of victory.
Xu Zii acknowledged the power of the sea beasts.
After all, dealing with sea beasts yearly consus half of Immortal Island’s military strength.
If the sea beasts were no longer a threat, and so other forces united, the alliance’s strength might be stronger.
With this thought, Xu Zii spoke up, “I could pay a visit to the sea beasts.
Perhaps I can persuade them.”
“They’re not that easily persuaded,” Elder Buhui said with a laugh.
“If talking doesn’t convince them, then fighting will; there’s always a place for reasoning,” Xu Zii replied.
Xu Zii spent an entire afternoon going through these materials in the hall.
He wasn’t in a hurry; after all, one afternoon wouldn’t make much difference.
He valued this information deeply.
At the very least, it provided so understanding of the Death Swamp’s interior.
To enter the Death Swamp, one must pass through three barriers, known as the three deadly barriers.
Many people can’t even get through these three barriers and die within.
These three barriers mark the periter of the Death Swamp.
Especially within the domain of the natives like Mu Yang and others.
After reading these materials, Xu Zii proposed to view the branch.
Elder Buhui swiftly went to report.
The location of the branch was highly confidential, requiring the key of the Nine Heavens Alliance Leader.
This ti, it was the Nine Heavens Alliance Leader herself who guided Xu Zii over.
“Taoist Friend Xu, what do you think of the current situation?”
On the way, the Nine Heavens Alliance Leader asked.
Xu Zii smiled and replied, “We still don’t know the true face of the Death Swamp, how can I judge?”
Upon this, the Nine Heavens Alliance Leader looked a bit sorrowful.
“The Divine Emperor should have seen it, yet the real situation couldn’t be conveyed back.”
The two arrived at the deepest part of the Nine Heavens Alliance.
Inside was a cave.
Xu Zii felt the powerful and overwhelming curse force emanating from the cave even before getting close.
In addition to this cave, a super formation was in operation.
If not for this super formation, the entire Nine Heavens Alliance would be enveloped by the curse force.
