In an elegant pavilion, wisps of incense floated from the stove in the corner. Various places in the room were filled with exquisite items, including purple wood tables and chairs, and ancient Daoist paintings.
Yu Chenran was lying on the rocking chair with his eyes slightly closed, looking particularly comfortable.
"Master, you are always in such a hurry to call me back. Is there anything important you have to do?"
Chen Qingyuan pushed open the door and walked in front of Yu Chenran, saluted and asked.
"Yes." Yu Chenran slowly stood up, picked up the tea beside him, and took a few sips: "Do you know the true intentions of the ten heroes of the Northern Wilderness?"
"Intention?" Chen Qingyuan speculated: "In the name of the ten heroes, let the Northern Wilderness's geniuses compete together to sharpen their Taoist mind and promote their practice."
"This is one of the most important things."
Yu Chenran said.
"Master, please clarify."
Chen Qingyuan's eyes were blank and he raised his hands to ask.
"The five states in the world are divided into: Imperial State, Northern Wilderness, Western Territory, Southern Territory, and Eastern Territory." Yu Chenran planned to speak slowly from common sense: "One state encompasses countless star fields and billions of stars.
The Imperial State is the core of the world, rich in resources, and the strongest are far superior to other territories. About 300,000 years ago, an ancient secret realm appeared in the Imperial State..."
Three hundred thousand years ago, it was almost the time when Demon Abyss was born.
What is the connection between this ancient secret realm and the Demonic Abyss? In addition, what is the name of the girl in red in the Tianyuan, and is there any cause and effect with these things?
Many questions popped up in Chen Qingyuan's mind.
The ancient secret realm is opened every ten thousand years. It is said that there are countless opportunities within it, and many forces in the empire have benefited from it.
At first, the ancient secret realm was occupied by the forces of Dizhou, and the remaining state boundaries were indivisible. Later, after pressure from powerful people from all sides, even the ancient sect, the holy land of Dizhou, had to give in.
Thus, today's Feast of Hundreds of Meridians was formed.
Geniuses under the age of five hundred can enter the ancient secret realm, but those over the age are not eligible no matter how strong they are.
According to the descriptions of those who entered, the secret realm is very vast, no less than a huge star field, surrounded by millions of stars, and opportunities are hidden everywhere.
Every corner of the secret realm often gives birth to purple light.
If you can obtain it and outnumber your peers, you will be favored by the great destiny, and you will either be reborn and your talent will reach a higher level; or you will receive a god-given treasure with unpredictable power.
"The feast of the Hundred Meridians happens once every ten thousand years. Anyone who is qualified to participate will have the opportunity to go further."
For so many years, Daoyi Academy has always been in a detached position and does not interfere in major world disputes.
Anyone who has a predestined relationship with Daoyi Academy and participates in the entrance examination cannot be named the Ten Elites of the Northern Wilderness.
Because the list of the top ten is a channel prepared by Daoyi Academy for talented people with little background, so that those talented young people will not be buried.
"Master, I have always wondered why I am an exception?"
Chen Qingyuan finally expressed this question and wanted to find out.
"Daoyi Academy has been hidden from the world for too long. It's time to go out and fight."
Yu Chenran looked deeply at Chen Qingyuan and said thoughtfully.
"So I am a chess piece of Daoyi Academy entering the world?" Chen Qingyuan seemed to understand, and said with an unchanged expression.
"Why, do you feel uncomfortable?"
Yu Chenran raised his eyebrows, with a faint smile on his lips, and deliberately joked.
"How is it possible? Even if it is a chess piece, not everyone can be a chess piece."
When it comes to shame, Chen Qingyuan has never convinced anyone.
Who in this world can guarantee that they are not other people’s pawns?
Besides, who can make chess pieces as comfortable as Chen Qingyuan?
"You have a big heart, kid." Yu Chenran laughed and scolded: "Don't think nonsense, you are not a pawn of Daoyi Academy, but a student."
"Yes, Master."
Chen Qingyuan said with cupped fists.
Because of you, Daoyi Academy plans to join the world.
If you really want to talk about it, you are not a pawn, Daoyi Academy is.
So who is the chess player in this game?
Is it the one from Tianyuan? Or the dean who has disappeared for five thousand years? Or is it someone else?
These mysteries can only be revealed in the future.
"Do you know the origin of the ancient pagoda?"
Yu Chenran decided to tell Chen Qingyuan more things.
"It is said that the first generation dean brought it back."
Chen Qingyuan is not very clear about this long history, he only knows a rough idea.
"That's right." Yu Chenran said with a solemn expression, "Then guess where you got it from?"
Chen Qingyuan is not a fool. With such obvious guidance, he instantly guessed: "Could it be the ancient secret realm where the Hundred Meridians Feast is held?"
"That's right." Talking about the first-generation dean, Yu Chenran looked proud: "Back then, many forces in the imperial state controlled the secret realm, but the first-generation dean still found an opportunity to enter it when he was young."
"Then, his old man suppressed all the monsters in the empire and obtained many treasures. When the time came, everyone was forced to leave the secret realm, and the ancestors were surrounded and suppressed by various forces."
"Fortunately, our ancestors have great skills and survived nine deaths. They escaped pursuit and came to the Northern Wilderness. According to the history books of the academy, our ancestors achieved great mastery in Taoism and reached the peak of their cultivation, and they went to kill the emperor again."
"In that battle, the ancestors overwhelmed countless forces and forced them to make a Dao Heart Oath, and then allowed the prodigies of each state to go to the secret realm, which evolved into the feast of the Hundred Meridians today."
Yu Chenran really wanted to see the first-generation dean with his own eyes, but unfortunately he could only imagine it in his mind, which was a pity.
The nine high-grade holy swords at the top of the Sword Mountain, as well as the ancient pagoda, as well as the top alchemy furnace and the treasure tripod, were all refined by the first dean using materials obtained from the ancient secret realm.
"Isn't it said that the imperial state made concessions in the face of oppression from other states?"
Yu Chenran only briefly described the deeds of the first generation dean, which made Chen Qingyuan feel in awe.
"Without the ancestors, the various states' forces would be like a piece of scattered sand. How could they have the courage to challenge the ancient sect's holy land that has been entrenched in the imperial state for countless years."
The first generation ancestor of Daoyi Academy was indeed a shocking evildoer. That era belonged to him alone, and no one could compete with him.
One person can suppress all the monsters in the world and dare not raise their heads.
Chen Qingyuan opened his mouth slightly, his eyes flashing with shock.
A short sentence in an ancient book may be a piece of history that is so brilliant that no words can describe it.
"You must attend the Feast of Hundreds of Meridians."
After telling the whole story, Yu Chenran looked serious.
"Yes." Chen Qingyuan nodded heavily.
"You can take a good rest during this time, or go to the ancient pagoda to sharpen your muscles."
Yu Chenran said.
"Disciple knows."
Afterwards, Chen Qingyuan left here and went to his residence to rest, and then go to the ancient pagoda when he was ready.
