Before An Qingyu and others stepped into the hall, they heard a familiar giggle coming from the depths of the hall.
"Cao Yuan?"
An Qingyu and others looked at each other and quickly walked into the palace.
Taibai Jinxing held the fly whisk, smiled helplessly, and followed closely behind them.
After passing through the back door of the main hall, your eyes suddenly open up, and a fairy-like and elegant garden space unfolds before everyone's eyes.
This is a large lake. Snow-white clouds are floating in the sky. The green lotus leaves seem to be endless. They are gently swaying with the breeze on the lake. A blue-grey pavilion crosses the lake and leads directly to a tower in the center of the lake.
Octagon Pavilion.
A few people were standing by the lake, and they could vaguely see a familiar figure sitting in the middle of the octagonal pavilion in the middle of the lake, surrounded by several maids. These maids held fans and seemed to be fanning him.
"Good guy, why is Thief Cao missing? Is he hiding here enjoying the fairy's service?" Baili Pangpang said in shock.
"Something seems wrong. Let's go over and take a look."
An Qingyu frowned slightly as he listened to the continuous laughter in the distance. Everyone walked through the pavilion and soon arrived in front of the Octagonal Pavilion.
"Hey Hey……"
When he walked to the Bajiao Pavilion, An Qingyu saw Cao Yuan's condition clearly. He saw Cao Yuan sitting cross-legged on a snow-white futon, his eyes unfocused, looking at the lake in the distance and smiling stupidly. Wisps of black flames came from his skin.
It ignited, but before it ignited the surroundings, it was extinguished by the spiritual wind blown by the giant cyan fan in the hands of the surrounding maids.
"What's wrong with Cao Yuan?" Shen Qingzhu asked with a frown.
Taibai Jinxing walked slowly from the corridor behind everyone,
"The Queen Mother once said that four of the seven destiny locks in his body have been broken. The Black King is struggling to break out of the 'prison', causing this little friend's consciousness to be sometimes awake and sometimes chaotic. Can he regain control of his body?
It still depends on his will."
"Black King..." Jiang Er murmured twice and asked in confusion, "Black King, what exactly is he? Is he the God of Great Xia?"
"Hey hey hey hey..."
"The Black King does come from Daxia, but he is not a god... To be precise, he is a mortal who failed to reach the highest realm thousands of years ago."
"mortal?!!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present was shocked.
"Hey hey hey hey..."
"How can a mortal attack the Supreme God?"
"This is also the strangest thing." Taibai Jinxing said slowly, "Generally speaking, the highest is a realm above the divine realm. No matter how strong a mortal is, it is extremely difficult to become a god, let alone directly cross the path to become a god.
He tried to reach the highest level in one step...but unfortunately, he almost succeeded."
"After the failure to attack the Supreme Being, for some unknown reason, this mortal began to lose his mind and became a monster who only knew how to kill. He was called the [Black King] by the world."
"Even if the attack fails, his power is still terrifying. His combat power is far higher than that of ordinary gods. However, because he has not yet become a god, he has no laws, so no matter how powerful the Black King is, he cannot really kill any god."
"Back then, the Black King lost his mind and slaughtered all living beings. It was Tianzun himself who took action and sealed him with the cause and effect technique of 'Trapped in the Hell of Life'."
"'Life Prison Trapped Evil'? What is that?" An Qingyu said.
"How can I understand Tianzun's Taoism?" Taibai Jinxing smiled helplessly, "I only heard that this Black King was finally sealed in the body of a mortal with a special fate. Later, whenever he carried this Black King's
When a mortal dies, the Black King will rely on the law of cause and effect and automatically transfer into the body of another mortal with a special destiny...
Over and over again, thousands of years have passed, and one mortal after another has carried the Black King and has passed it down to the present.
And these mortals who have carried the power of the Black King throughout the ages seem to be classified by you Night Watchmen as a special kind of forbidden ruins known as 'under the gods and above all living things', which seems to be called... [Destroy the Black King]?"
After listening to Taibai Jinxing's description, everyone fell into silence at the same time. In the Bajiao Pavilion, only Cao Yuan's silly laughter echoed.
"It turns out that this is the origin of [Black King Destruction]..." Shen Qingzhu nodded thoughtfully.
"But since the Black King is so dangerous, why didn't Tianzun just get rid of him back then but sealed him?" An Qingyu thought for a moment and asked doubtfully.
"We can't figure out Tianzun's thoughts. Since he did this, he must have a special intention."
"Can't Tianzun repair the four broken destiny locks?"
"No." Taibai Jinxing shook his head, "The Fate Lock is not made by Tianzun, but is extended by these mortals who carry the Black King and have special fates. This is part of their souls, and no external objects can affect it. Its fate is affected.”
"Hey Hey……"
An Qingyu glanced at the smirking Cao Yuan with complicated eyes, "Then, is there nothing we can do?"
"I'll tell you the truth." Taibai Jinxing said sternly, "Right now, this little friend only has two options left... Either, rely on your own willpower and use the only three fate locks left to suppress the Black King in your body. ;
Or, the body is completely invaded by the Black King, the last three fate locks are broken, the Black King is born again, and then is imprisoned in the body of another mortal by Tianzun himself... But in this case, the little friend may not survive.
Success or failure, life or death, can only depend on this little friend's own destiny."
An Qingyu frowned tightly.
"Hey hey hey hey..."
Snapped--!
Just when the atmosphere was silent and depressing, Baili Pangpang, who was standing behind Cao Yuan, suddenly raised his hand and slapped Cao Yuan's Tianling Cap.
"I said, Lao Cao, we are here to talk about business, can you please be quiet?" Baili Pangpang said with his eyes widened.
Just as An Qingyu was about to stop him, Cao Yuan's continuous giggles suddenly stopped.
An Qingyu froze on the spot.
The black flames dancing on Cao Yuan's body seemed to have decreased a bit. There was a vague look in his empty eyes, and his ears moved slightly, as if he was listening to something.
"Can he hear our voices?" Shen Qingzhu's eyes showed a hint of joy, he grabbed Cao Yuan's shoulders and shook him twice, "Old Cao! You can't give up! You have already half-stepped into the gate of hell for seven nights. You can still breathe a sigh of relief, but you must not die! Do you hear me?"
Cao Yuan's eyes flickered again, and the black fire ignited on his body became increasingly scarce.
"Tianzun said that if he wants to defeat the Black King, he needs some external stimulation... This is also an important reason for calling you to heaven." Taibai Jinxing stroked his beard with a smile, "It seems that this time, Tricks work."
While everyone was chatting, a figure pushed a wheelchair and slowly approached along the corridor.
"Who said that I have already half stepped into the gate of hell?"
