Because in Gu Yuan's opinion, after the Nine Elements Sect degenerated into a hidden family, the conflicts between the two sides have not diminished.
Some conflicts have lasted for nearly a hundred years.
How could there be no conflict during the sect period?
At this time, Hou Jing said.
"We all belong to the Nine Elements Sect, and there will inevitably be some friction between each other. However, there is really no particularly fatal conflict. In addition, Tian Kuang Sect and Yang Jun Mansion were very prestigious among the Nine Elements Sect at that time. Basically, they were the same
All kinds of conflicts were resolved between the South and the North."
"Then what happened?
I remember that the Yinsha Sect seemed to have offended many people."
"Alas, we were deceived by Master Long at that time."
"Master Long?"
"That's right, it's Mr. Long from Jiuxing Yamen."
"what happened?"
"At that time, Master Long said that we, the Yinsha Sect, should be allowed to rule the world, saying that only evil cultivators like us can put an end to those righteous ways."
"So you agreed?"
"If it were just Master Long, we wouldn't agree, but the key is to have Shangjiu Xing's opinion."
"On the ninth line?
what is that?"
"Our Nine Elements Sect belongs to the Lower Nine Elements at most, and belongs to the Jianghu. Above the Jianghu, there is also the Wulin. The so-called Wulin is where the Upper Nine Elements sects hang out."
"Are there also nine attributes?"
"That's right, the Shangjiuxing sect that specializes in our Yinsha Sect is the Taiyin Sect. It is said that the Yinsha Sect's Demon Sect Grand Ceremony came from the Taiyin Sect."
According to Hou Jing’s description.
Gu Yuan basically understood something.
There is a difference between the upper nine lines and the lower nine lines.
Under normal circumstances, the lower nine elements are nourished by the upper nine elements.
Taiyin Sect raised Yinsha Sect and let them live in the world.
And Shang Jiuxing went specifically to mix in the martial arts world.
After roughly understanding it, Gu Yuan asked again.
"Then, what did Master Long say?"
"Master Long funded our Yinsha Sect at that time, and allowed our Yinsha Sect to burn, kill, loot and commit all kinds of evil everywhere. We basically beat up all the other Nine Elements sects."
"What happens after that?"
"In addition to us starting to fight, sects in various places also started fighting due to various conflicts. That is to say, since then, the deadly feud between the sects has been forged."
"This is really...sigh..."
Gu Yuan couldn't help but sigh.
He thought to himself that the Nine Elements Sect couldn't say how big of a mistake it was back then, so why did it have to be punished in this way?
But it sounds normal.
In the face of absolute interests, it is indeed easy for people to lose themselves.
It is normal for the Yin Sha Sect to be deceived.
"After a great war, the Nine Elements Sect has completely declined. Each of them has been hiding in the world as a family, and is called a hidden family."
Gu Yuan added for him.
"And because the Hidden World family has no ability to practice or even accept disciples, it is impossible to recreate the grandeur of the Nine Elements Sect back then."
Hou Jing nodded: "Yes, it is like this. It can never be repeated again. No one can repeat it. It is because of your magnanimity that the Nine Elements Sect has rekindled the fire of revival."
"Why do Jiuxing Yamen, or Mr. Long and others do this?"
"I don't know. Maybe they think it's good for them. I really don't know."
No matter what, he didn't know.
Speaking of which, it's not his fault. After all, Jing didn't have much experience at the time, so he was still relatively young.
Gu Yuan asked again.
"What was the upper limit of the Nine Elements Sect's cultivation level back then?"
"Everywhere in the extreme realm, there are not a few who are at the peak of martial arts, and the masters are even more awakened."
"Awakening cultivation?
what is that?"
"That is a higher realm."
"oh?"
"The extreme realm is already the end point for ordinary martial artists. If one has a more refined understanding of his own martial arts, he can still aspire to reach the pinnacle of martial arts, but if he reaches the pinnacle of martial arts, he has really reached the pinnacle."
"I know that once you reach the peak of martial arts, your realm has come to an end, and no matter how you practice martial arts from now on, it won't work anymore."
"But above the pinnacle of martial arts, there is a realm of awakening. If someone can break through to awakening, they will have entered a new world."
"Awakening..."
This is the first time Gu Yuan has heard of this term.
He didn't know there was such a realm before.
It turns out that reaching the peak of extreme realm or martial arts is not the end.
It turns out that you can still awaken above it.
Gu Yuan doesn't know what kind of state he will be in after awakening, but Gu Yuan knows that he is definitely not a warrior in the ordinary sense.
At this moment, Hou Jing said.
"Perhaps it's because they don't want to see awakening. They think we people in the lower nine realms are not worthy of awakening?"
Although this is just a reason for Hou Jing's casual guess, it is very likely to be true.
Although Gu Yuan still doesn't quite understand what the people in the Jiuxing Yamen do.
But he knows very well that as a superior, he naturally hates the power of inferiors.
Now it seems that the decline of the sect back then was probably a conspiracy.
"Then what's going on with the black curtain?"
Hou Jing sighed: "Oh, this is also a long story."
"Tell me about it."
"The Black Curtain was created by my eldest brother and I. At that time, we witnessed the decline of the Yin Sha Sect and the decline of each sect one by one, so in order to protect ourselves, we created the Black Curtain."
"And in order to target the Black Curtain and the Hidden Family, they created the Dragon Bureau?"
"Yes, Dragon Bureau was founded by Master Long back then, and it belongs to the category of Jiuxing Yamen. However, Jiuxing Yamen seems to look down on them, so they don't take it seriously."
"Why did Black Curtain start to do evil things again?"
"An organization needs to develop, especially if an organization like ours wants to develop, it has to do whatever it takes. At first we were doing it to protect ourselves, but later we were doing it specifically to deal with the Dragon Bureau and the secret service agencies in various places."
"What is the reason for your deep sleep?"
"Oh, because we have reached the peak of the extreme realm, my eldest brother can even reach the peak of martial arts soon, but we can't make the Five Lotus Pills, and our cultivation has stagnated. In the end, we have no choice but to choose this method. Let's see.
Is there any way in the future?"
This deep sleep lasted for many years.
Even now that they woke up, they were still a little uncomfortable. Of course, they didn't expect that the black curtain had been destroyed.
Gu Yuan also sighed.
"It seems that there are no pure bad people in this world. Everything that seems unreasonable has helpless actions behind it."
