I don’t know how many billions of years have passed since the war in ancient times, and there is no point in dwelling on history. Shen Lang shook his head and asked: "Where did your Red Star Bead fragments come from?"
The giant python explained: "In the past, Zhulong left behind nine red star beads. Only by holding the red star beads can one enter and leave the Tongtian Demon River and the ancient demon world. In order to prevent the monks from outside the realm from getting the red star beads, Zhulong gave these nine red star beads to his own
Safeguarded by confidants."
"After the war, eight Red Star Beads disappeared and wandered in the ancient demon world. Another one was broken during the war and turned into tens of thousands of tiny fragments, scattered around Tongtian Palace."
Shen Lang's eyes lit up and he quickly asked: "Apart from these fragments in my hand, where are the other fragments?"
The giant python said awkwardly: "To be honest with the master, the ancestors of the old slave have already collected all the fragments of the Red Star Bead that can be collected. From generation to generation, almost all the fragments of the Red Star Bead have been eaten up, and the master has obtained
Those seven fragments are the last remaining fragments."
Shen Lang frowned and said, "Eat it all? Your cultivation will not be affected in this Tongtian Demon River. What are you going to do with these Red Star Bead fragments?"
The ancestor of the giant python, the Snake, is the guardian beast of the Tongtian Palace. When the candle-bearing dragon cursed the Snake, it also injected a trace of dragon breath into his body, which can exempt him from the power of the Tongtian Demon River and avoid being deprived of his cultivation.
for.
The Snake was originally an extremely powerful mid-level true spirit! But by the time of the Python, the bloodline has been extremely weakened. The Python can at best be regarded as a holy-level spirit beast that has inherited a trace of the blood of the Snake. It is also the lowest level of the Holy-level spirit beast.
.
The giant python explained: "The master doesn't know something. The Red Star Bead contains the power of Zhulong's true blood, and after swallowing it can help improve his cultivation. Because our ancestors could not leave Tongtian Palace, they collected countless Red Star Bead fragments and wanted to borrow Zhulong's power.
The power of true blood improved cultivation and broke the curse, but ultimately failed."
"The curse has been passed down from generation to generation, and coupled with the erosion of the evil energy of this underground abyss, the bloodline of the snoring snake inherited by the ancestors and descendants is getting thinner and thinner. Although we have many children, only one survives. We are almost a single lineage, and we survive
The descendants who come down will be fed a fragment of the Red Star Bead to strengthen their physical constitution. Although our lifespan is long, we have also experienced thousands of generations, and the fragments of the Red Star Bead have been used up."
Shen Lang frowned. He originally wanted to find more fragments of Red Star Beads, but it seemed that this idea also failed.
Having swallowed a fragment just now, Shen Lang indeed felt the huge power of Zhulong's true blood, and even activated the blood spirit energy in his body.
However, the power of this true blood was too thin and weak, and his blood spirit body did not react much.
If you can collect a few complete Red Star Beads, you might actually be able to obtain the bloodline of the Candle-bearing Dragon in one fell swoop!
Of course, these are just thoughts and are almost impossible to realize.
Shen Lang continued to ask: "Why did the Tongtian Demon River trigger two tsunamis in the near future? The latest tsunami also swept across the entire Demon Continent."
The giant python replied: "This old slave doesn't know, but the most likely situation is that the law power of the Tongtian Demon River has caused turmoil! The former Zhongshan Zhulong was just a clone and did not have the ability to lay a complete
The power of laws. To put it bluntly, Tongtian Demon River can only be regarded as half of the power of laws at most, which is equivalent to a formation that stabilizes the interface of the ancient demon world to prevent monks from outside the realm from breaking through."
"The eye of this formation is at Zhongshan. There is a candlelight on the top of Zhongshan, which is the source of energy that maintains the continuous operation of this magical river. If the energy of the candlelight fluctuates or passes quickly, it may cause the power of the law to
turmoil!"
"The old slave guesses that there are two possibilities. The first one is that the candlelight on the top of Zhongshan Mountain is about to disappear. After all, this demonic river has lasted for hundreds of millions of years, and it is reasonable for the energy to disappear. The second possibility is that
, a powerful monk tried to absorb the energy of the candlelight, causing the power of the law to fluctuate violently!"
Shen Lang pondered for a while, what the giant python said must be very accurate.
He suddenly recalled what he heard from the young man who was collecting magic light heavy sand at the edge of the Tongtian Demon River. Before the tsunami, two monks entered the Tongtian Demon River.
Is it possible that there are really powerful monks who want to absorb the energy source of this demonic river?
All this is unknown, but perhaps he will be able to understand everything after he enters Zhongshan.
"By the way, why was the forbidden beam of light emitted from the entrance of Tongtian Palace just now Taiyi's golden light? Is this Tongtian Palace related to Taiyi Zhenren?" Shen Lang asked the last doubt in his heart.
"The old slave is ignorant and has never heard of Taiyi Golden Light...but he has heard of Taiyi Zhenren. This great master seems to be the ancestor of the human race. To be honest with the master, there is a portrait of Taiyi Zhenren enshrined in the Tongtian Palace.
, why don’t I take the master to have a look now?” the giant python said quickly.
"good."
Shen Lang nodded immediately.
The giant python was hit by the Star Soul Technique, and Shen Lang didn't worry about the other party cheating this time. He followed the giant python into the Tongtian Palace.
The Tongtian Palace has been completely destroyed, with collapsed buildings everywhere, leaving many desolate and ancient traces inside.
For example, corpses, broken magic weapon fragments, and cracked armor can be seen everywhere, which is quite similar to the scene in the Kyushu secret realm.
Shen Lang had no interest in searching these garbage dumps. Countless years had passed. Even if he could find any treasures, they would have been eroded by the evil energy in the abyss and could no longer be used.
Almost all the buildings inside Tongtian Palace have collapsed, only the main hall is still barely intact.
Walking into the main hall, the golden courtyard and jade pillars are overflowing with sunlight. Although the crystal stones on the walls have been cracked and disfigured, they still retain their former splendor.
In the side hall on one side of the main hall, there is indeed a huge tribute table enshrining the portrait of "Zhenren Taiyi".
Taiyi Zhenren in the portrait is an old man wearing a Tai Chi Taoist robe, with white hair and a childish face. He has kind eyebrows and kind eyes, wears a jade crown on his head, and holds a whisk in his hand. He is mysterious and profound.
It was exactly the same as the phantom that Shen Lang saw in Guangtian Palace.
Shen Lang bowed and performed the highest level of etiquette to show his inner respect.
Who knows, at this moment.
With a "whoosh" sound, a golden light shot out of the portrait, forming a shadow that stood in front of Shen Lang.
"Tai... Taiyi ancestor?" Shen Lang was startled.
The giant python on the side was also trembling all over, with an expression as if it had seen a ghost.
He had gone in and out of Tongtian Palace countless times, and for the first time he discovered that there was another dimension to this portrait.
"You sir, this is the second time Pindao and you have met. Since you are here, Pindao just wants to give you some instructions." The phantom of Master Taiyi shook off the fly whisk in his hand and said in a calm tone.
Shen Lang was extremely shocked. Although he didn't know why Taiyi Zhenren was here, he still hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed: "Taiyi ancestor, please speak!"
