Volume 2: Achieving the Nine Heavens and Breaking the Cage Chapter 572: True Ancient Events
"In the ancient times, in the True Ancient Immortal Realm, there were forty-nine masters who called themselves True Spirits."
"The strength of the True Spirits is that each one is at least at the third ancient realm. They dominate the entire True Ancient Immortal Realm, and the era in which the True Spirits exist is called... the First Era."
Gu Xiaoxing was still sitting cross-legged in the main hall, listening quietly to what the ghost was saying in his body.
"Among them, the first True Spirit, the Yu Dao True Spirit, is the leader."
"Rumor has it that the Imperial Dao True Spirit has at least reached the perfection of the third ancient realm, and it is even very likely that it has already entered the fourth ancient realm...!"
“Perhaps you don’t know what the fourth ancient realm is. It can be described in four words… omnipotent!”
Gu Xiaoxing's heart trembled. The meaning of the four words "omnipotent" was so huge!
"But later, the forty-nine true spirits disappeared or fell, until the first true spirit Yu Dao also fell. Their era was completely over, and from then on... the second era began!"
"If he is omnipotent, why did he fall?" Gu Xiaoxing finally couldn't help asking.
Ming Ling said: "The events of the First Era are too far away, and the reasons are no longer known, but the fact is that this is the case."
Gu Xiaoxing was silent. According to Ming Ling, no one knew how long ago the First Era was. It could probably not be described in tens of thousands of years, but at least hundreds of millions of years.
But even after such a long time, after countless billions of years, the true spirit... is reviving!
Perhaps only by asking the True Spirit himself can one know what happened in the first era countless years ago, which led to the demise of the True Spirit Clan that dominated the entire True Ancient Immortal Realm.
Gu Xiaoxing did not interrupt Ming Ling again.
After a brief silence, Ming Ling continued, "The True Spirit Era ended. In the second era without powerful True Spirits, thousands of schools of thought contended in the True Ancient Immortal Realm. Eventually, three major sects emerged."
"Nine Dark Mountains, True Word Sword Sect, and Ten Thousand Array Immortal Sect, in the second era, these three major sects are the leaders."
“I don’t know the reason why the other two sects rose to prominence, but the rise of Jiu Ming Mountain was due to the discovery of the corpse of the first true spirit, Yu Dao!”
"All the inheritances of Jiu Ming Mountain come from... the Imperial Dao True Spirit!"
When Gu Xiaoxing heard this, he was immediately shocked. He had guessed before that Jiu Ming Mountain had an inseparable relationship with Yu Dao Zhen Ling.
"So burning incense...?"
Before Gu Xiaoxing finished speaking, Ming Ling replied, "The burning incense is the result of the Dao Furnace on the head of the Dao True Spirit after its death."
Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaoxing suddenly remembered what Hou Tu Zhen Ling had said.
The Taoist spirit controls the Taoist furnace, and Taoist incense burns in the Taoist furnace.
It seemed like everything was connected.
But unfortunately, he had to build his foundation by burning Taoist incense, and it seemed that the Thick Earth True Spirit had left behind the words "time is running out" because of this.
Gu Xiaoxing has not forgotten these words!
Thinking back to the previous time when the Nether Fire burned excessively and he had that feeling similar to that of being possessed by another body, Gu Xiaoxing couldn't help but make the same association.
Is it the First True Spirit Yudao, who is taking over another's body and resurrecting himself in a way that Gu Xiaoxing cannot understand ?
Is it possible that the source of this underworld fire is... the True Spirit of the Imperial Dao?
Gu Xiaoxing will use the Nether Fire to restore his blood, flesh, essence, energy and spirit, but in fact, the restored part belongs to the True Spirit of Yu Dao.
Once the recovered blood, flesh, energy and spirit of Gu Xiaoxing are completely suppressed, does it mean that the True Spirit of Yu Dao is about to awaken?
And he, a lonely little star, will be doomed to eternal damnation?
Suddenly, Gu Xiaoxing's mind was shaken, and a huge wave of emotions surged in his heart. The more he thought about it, the more terrified he felt.
It was as if, from the moment Gu Xiaoxing established his foundation by burning Taoist incense, he had become the cauldron for the Taoist True Spirit to possess other people's bodies and be resurrected!
But there are still many things that Gu Xiaoxing can't figure out, and the thing that he can't figure out the most is.
Why would burning Taoist incense appear in their Fulai Village?
Or did the old village chief do this on purpose?
But why did the old village chief do this?
Maybe the old village chief has his own plans, but Gu Xiaoxing doesn’t think that the old village chief will harm him!
This must also involve the skeleton hand behind the old village chief!
This is a huge vortex!
While Gu Xiaoxing was brainstorming, he was also working on his cultivation and soul, constantly cleansing his blood, flesh, energy and spirit to dilute the sense of strangeness.
At the same time, he also secretly warned himself that he must never use the Nether Fire to restore himself at will in the future!
Gu Xiaoxing guessed that the more he used the Nether Fire, the faster the Yu Dao True Spirit would awaken.
Once the true spirit of Yu Dao awakens, there will be no hope for Gu Xiaoxing.
This made Gu Xiaoxing feel even heavier in his heart, not only because of himself, but also because of the candlelight.
Will the candlelight also turn into another person?
And how much time do I have left?
Gu Xiaoxing didn't know that at this moment, he felt unprecedentedly confused and helpless.
He had too many doubts in his heart.
But when he looked up, he found a pair of clear eyes, which made Gu Xiaoxing stunned.
"Your mind is in turmoil!"
It turned out that Dongfang Yu had come to his side without him knowing when.
Gu Xiaoxing looked at Dongfang Yu, his lips slightly opened, but he couldn't say anything.
He couldn't tell Dongfang Yu about these things.
With the operation of his cultivation, Gu Xiaoxing's eyes have returned to normal. With his current cultivation and physical body, let alone being blinded, even if his eyeballs exploded, he would be able to recover quickly without the Nether Fire.
Dongfang Yu frowned when she saw Gu Xiaoxing hesitating to speak. As Gu Xiaoxing deliberately tried to stop her, she had no idea what he was thinking.
But the feeling of mutual understanding was still there, and Dongfang Yu could still clearly feel Gu Xiaoxing's mood.
Uneasy and confused.
Dongfang Yu slowly walked to Gu Xiaoxing's side, leaned against him, held his hand, and said, "If you don't want to tell me, I won't ask."
Their fingers were tightly clasped, and it seemed as if their hearts were connected to each other. Inexplicably, Gu Xiaoxing's heart gradually began to calm down, and his uneasiness and confusion gradually faded away.
He tightened her hand and suddenly said, "How long do you think a person is alive?"
Dongfang Yu turned his head slightly, glanced at Gu Xiaoxing, and said nothing.
Gu Xiaoxing did not wait for her answer, but continued: "You know, I don't seek immortality, but sometimes, I think immortality is good."
"A mortal lives for sixty years, while an immortal lives for ten thousand years. I have experienced half of You Fangdie's life, and I know that feeling. So sometimes, I feel that immortality is boring."
"You are not Youfangdie." Dongfang Yu said.
Gu Xiaoxing was silent for a moment, then nodded.
"Well, I still have you."
Gu Xiaoxing tightened Dongfang Yu's hand again, and secretly added two more names in his mind. Then his eyes became firm again, and he said in his heart.
"Ming Ling, continue."
Soon, the voice of the ghost was heard again in Gu Xiaoxing's body.
"Although the True Spirits perished in the First Era, they were too powerful and it was still difficult to sever their territories. Some of them began to be reborn as True Gods."
Gu Xiaoxing knew this, as it was exactly what Fang Qingqing had said in the dead man’s dream.
"And the reincarnation of the First True Spirit, Yu Dao, is in Jiu Ming Mountain. You should know this. The one who awakened him was the previous generation of Jiu Ming Girl, Fang Qingqing."
"After that, the True God of Imperial Dao stayed in Jiu Ming Mountain, and eventually became a Taoist couple with Jiu Ming Girl..."
Then, Ming Ling talked about the past events of Jiu Ming Mountain.
Gu Xiaoxing listened carefully. According to what Ming Ling said, this true god did not have the memory of the true spirit, just like a new life.
But he is really powerful. It can even be said that the cultivation talent of the True God Yu Dao is unparalleled!
In just a thousand years, he had reached the perfection of the second ancient realm, a peak that was completely impossible for ordinary people to reach.
You must know that in the True Ancient Immortal Realm at that time, there were only three people who could step into the third ancient realm.
All of these three people are old monsters who have lived for at least tens or millions of years.
They are the masters of the three great sects!
It took the True God Yu Dao only a thousand years to reach perfection in the second ancient realm, and he was only one step away from the third ancient realm!
You can imagine how talented he is.
"Another thousand years later, the True God Yu Dao successfully took that step and became the fourth person in the True Ancient Immortal Realm to step into the third ancient realm!"
"But not long after, the fifth person who entered the third ancient realm appeared."
"This person's talent even exceeds that of the True God of Imperial Dao."
"This person is from the True Word Sword Sect, and his name is... Gu Xiaochen."
Ming Ling said this with some profound meaning, and paused deliberately, waiting for Gu Xiaoxing's reaction.
Hearing the three words "Gu Xiaochen" again, Gu Xiaoxing was truly shaken.
There must be some connection between Gu Xiaoxing and Gu Xiaochen.
Seeing that Gu Xiaoxing didn't say anything, Ming Ling continued, "The True God who reincarnated at that time was not only Yu Dao, but also many other True Gods. Each of them had extraordinary talents, enough to sweep across an entire generation."
"The only one is Gu Xiaochen. He is not a true god, but his cultivation level is improving faster than those true gods!"
"It was as if he appeared out of nowhere in that era, joined the Zhenyan Sword Sect, and was accepted as a personal disciple by the Zhenyan Patriarch. He should have led the Zhenyan Sword Sect to glory."
“But on the day when Gu Xiaochen stepped into the third ancient realm, something no one expected happened.”
"He personally killed his master who was also in the third ancient realm, and destroyed the entire Zhenyan Sword Sect!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaoxing's breathing paused.
This Gu Xiaochen, the first thing he did after achieving success in cultivation was to betray his teacher and ancestors?
this……
Dongfang Yu obviously noticed something strange about Gu Xiaoxing and gave him a questioning look.
Gu Xiaoxing shook his head slightly at her and said "It's okay", then asked the ghost in his body: "Is there a reason for him to do this?"
Ming Ling said: "He said that he was the calamity of the True Ancient Immortal Realm, and the True Ancient Immortal Realm was destroyed."
Gu Xiaoxing was stunned. "What's the reason? Is he crazy?"
"He is indeed crazy."
But Ming Ling not only did not refute, but also said in agreement: "Later, he destroyed the entire True Ancient Immortal Realm by himself!"
