While there was still noisy outside, Shangguan Xin came to Huang Zi's courtyard.
Huang Zi lazily raised his head and glanced at Shangguan Xin, and said feebly: "You're back."
Shangguan Xin glanced back, then felt the surrounding environment calmly, and even his own little world unfolded.
"You don't have to be so serious. As long as you enter my house, no matter how loud the noise is, you won't be able to hear it from outside." Huang Zi curled his lips, "I see that your shackles have loosened a little. I think you are ready?"
"
"Two hundred years ago, in order to break through the bottleneck, I went to Nanzhou. As a result, I accidentally entered the ancient battlefield of the Netherworld. I had to modify the treasure body technique. It was equivalent to cutting off an arm, but I finally got over it." Shangguan Xin snorted coldly,
Then he said, "And I also successfully broke through to the Earthly Immortal Realm... Later, what I saw, heard, thought, felt and understood in the Netherworld Ancient Battlefield also benefited me a lot. So fifty years ago,
I have already entered the Taoist realm."
"Very good." Huang Zi nodded.
Shangguan Xin sneered: "You asked me to go to Nanzhou back then, did you have a premeditated plan?"
"I'm not a magician like Ye Yan and Gu Sicheng. How can I predict what will happen two hundred years later?" Huang Zi rolled his eyes, "And even they can only deduce a hint of heavenly secrets at most, and then leave the rest.
You can only rely on your own speculation... No one in this world can accurately predict the future."
"Indeed." Shangguan Xin nodded, "Lao San also said that no matter it is my era, or the later Second Era, or the Fourth Era, there are only a few words left by history to record it. Although there are many historical legacy
There are many unsolved mysteries, but the development and evolution of many things are basically known to people.”
Having said this, Shangguan Xin paused for a moment, then spoke again: "Only the Third Era we are currently in...does not have any records."
Huang Zi chuckled lightly, his tone and posture were as lazy as ever.
"Then you must also know the only reason why this situation occurs."
"This world... is shattered, and all souls are annihilated." Shangguan Xin looked solemn. "But if this happens..."
"There won't be a third era? Right." Huang Zi chuckled, "Your era was shattered? Penglai, Kunlun, Fangzhang, Yingzhou and other five great immortal lands were directly shattered? There are still some incomplete remains floating today.
In the Dead Sea.Second
When the era broke, the eighteen continents were directly shattered and sank? They were almost extinct. Nowadays, it is only possible to find clues in some residual worlds and secret worlds... So tell me? Such a situation? Do you think this history is still true?
?”
"Old man, what do you mean..." Shangguan Xin frowned slightly and pondered for a moment before saying, "The third era we are in...is not broken? But it has just become a special area like the residual world? But there is no one there.
It was excavated, so that’s why it disappeared?”
"Of course, there are two other possibilities." Huang Zi shrugged, "One is that they are people from the Fourth Era? Deliberately erasing the news about our Third Era."
"What about the second one?"
"Why do you think the era I am in now is really the third era?"
Shangguan Xin was suddenly startled.
An incredible look appeared on her face.
"According to the theory of the era, the depletion of spiritual energy is the catastrophe of the end of the law, and when the spiritual energy in this world revives again, it will be the beginning of a new era." Shangguan Xin said in a deep voice, "If we can let the spiritual energy circulate around
And the beginning again? If it lasts for a long time, then one era can span a very long time... If there is no water in what Lao San said, the fifth era may be the most prosperous era in this mysterious world."
"Do you know the identity of Dieffenbachia?"
Shangguan Xin shook his head.
"He is the gatekeeper of the Netherworld Ancient Battlefield." Huang Zi said lightly, "His existence is to suppress the aura of the Netherworld Ancient Battlefield, causing unsuspecting people to stray into it and become the nourishment of the Lord of Heavenly Demons.
Help him get out of trouble."
Shangguan Xin's pupils shrank suddenly: "Is it because you are a thief?"
"It doesn't count." Huang Zi shook his head, "At best, I was just... scared to death. Then this flaw was taken advantage of by someone who wanted to, and that's how the following series of things happened... I asked you to go to Nanzhou before.
, firstly, that is indeed your place of nirvana, and secondly... I also wanted you to go over and spy on the situation of the Nanzhou Monster Clan. But I didn't expect that the people from the Peeping Immortal Alliance had already helped Ao Hai and Wannian Qing set up a trap.
The line was broken, that time you..."
Speaking of this, Huang Zi also sighed softly: "It's probably because Ao Hai accidentally killed him."
Shangguan Xin suddenly fell silent.
When Huang Zi said this, her mind changed and she understood what Huang Zi meant.
At that time, Ao Hai was secretly discussing cooperation with Wannian Qing, which was a major event for the demon clan.
And Huang Zi is the strongest person in the human camp, and she is the most capable disciple in Taiyi Valley. She is almost recognized as the successor of the next generation of martial arts, so her sudden appearance in Nanzhou will inevitably cause demons.
The clan's vigilance. In line with the principle of preferring to kill the wrong person rather than miss it, she was forced into the ancient battlefield of the Netherworld by the Blue Sea Dragon Guard at that time, and was trapped for more than two hundred years.
When Shangguan Xin thought of this, her teeth itched with hatred.
"Are you plotting against me?!"
"How can this be said to be a calculation?" Huang Zi rolled his eyes, "You came to me for advice at that time, don't you think I pointed it out to you... At best, it can only be said that you were unlucky at that time, so
You can’t blame me for this.”
Shangguan Xin snorted coldly, the anger still lingering on his face: "What on earth are you planning?"
"I don't have a plan, don't talk nonsense."
Shangguan Xin stared at Huang Zi, who still looked lazy and tired. Even his posture had not changed. Shangguan Xin knew that he could not get anything out of Huang Zi's mouth.
As for Huang Zi's statement that he had no plan, Shangguan Xin absolutely didn't believe it.
With her status and cultivation in the past, she naturally knows that people with their level of cultivation are no longer fighting for luck, but for the way of heaven.
Therefore, the plans laid by such people are far beyond the vision of other monks. They are even willing to spend thousands or tens of thousands of years waiting, laying out, and planning, just to accumulate a little advantage for themselves.
.
Just like Jiuliyou.
She would rather ruin two eras and almost destroy the entire mysterious world than admit her failure, just to get the last chance to make a comeback.
But it's a pity...
In the end, the success fell short.
Others may not know it, but Shangguan Xin knows that Jiu Liyou woke up and was born early, which made her like a premature baby with congenital deficiencies. And it is precisely because of this congenital deficiencies that she needs to be in the mausoleum.
He went on a killing spree to stabilize the foundation of his realm, hoping to break out of his cocoon again.
But she didn't expect that she was also in the Netherworld Ancient Battlefield, so all her plans came to nothing.
And all this is due to the double coincidence between her and Su Anran.
Others may think this is just a coincidence.
Even the Demon Alliance would think so.
After all, Shangguan Xin has been trapped in the ancient battlefield of the Netherworld for more than two hundred years, almost to the point of being forgotten by the outside world. But Su Anran has only begun to make a name for herself in the mysterious world in recent years, and this time she went to Nanzhou to provide support.
In order to give him some experience, it was even more unexpected that he would be involved in the Netherworld Ancient Battlefield. After all, the Demon Alliance launched a surprise attack at that time, which attracted the attention of the Netherworld Ancient Battlefield. It was impossible to predict who would be involved.
But Shangguan Xin would never think so.
If she accidentally entered the ancient battlefield of the Netherworld two hundred years ago, was it Huang Zi's arrangement?
Is it because at the last moment, she can act like a surprise soldier and kill Jiu Liyou, who is inherently deficient due to his premature awakening?
After all, it was Huang Zi's idea to go to Nanzhou in the first place.
As for Su Anran...
If it weren't for the fact that there was a soul in his divine sea that must have had the strength of the Taoist realm during his lifetime, then he would never have been able to subdue the Netherworld Ghost Tiger in the Netherworld Ancient Battlefield; and if there hadn't been the Netherworld Ghost Tiger, he would have disturbed
Without disturbing the balance of yin and yang in the ancient battlefield of Netherworld; and if the balance of the ancient battlefield of Netherworld was not disturbed, Jiuliyou would not be able to wake up early, and she would not be able to notice the changes in the ancient battlefield of Netherworld.
One coincidence is a coincidence, two coincidences can still be said to be coincidences, but if three coincidences occur at the same time...
Shangguan Xin never thinks that this kind of thing is a coincidence.
Even further extrapolating, why does Su Anran's divine sea host the soul of a powerful Taoist realm?
Is this Huang Zi’s deliberate arrangement or guidance?
At the very least, Shangguan Xin believed that if Huang Zi really wanted to take action, it would be impossible for the remnants of the soul in Su Anran's divine sea to remain in Su Anran's divine sea.
Various signs made Shangguan Xin insist that Huang Zi must be planning something.
He even suspected that Huang Zi might have already taken that step.
"Stop thinking nonsense, I am your master, how can I still deceive you?" Huang Zi felt a headache when he saw the suspicious look on Shangguan Xin's face.
Among the ten disciples, because of the height Shangguan Xin had reached, it was destined that her vision was never low. In addition, due to her previous status, she naturally knew many secrets.
In today's era, there is no room for casual cultivators to survive, not only because all kinds of cultivation resources are controlled by sects, but the most important thing is the experience in cultivation, various secrets, and so on.
This is also one of the main reasons why those small sects cannot compete with the big sects.
Because there is no real powerful person in charge, the sect lacks the vision and structure from a high position, and the competition for resources is difficult, which naturally leads to the extremely slow development of the sect. Therefore, even if these small sects have any good ideas
, it is often difficult to retain them. Even if their own direct bloodline has a genius, they will take great pains to send it to a large sect.
This is reality.
Whether it is nineteen sects, thirty-six sects, or seventy-two sects, these big sects in Xuanjie either have profound inheritance, or they fought for a way out in the earliest bloody years, or they are
Some far-sighted sects are making secret arrangements.
For example, the three Buddhist temples in the Nineteenth Sect were formerly the holy land of Buddhism, Lingshan.
For example, the Four Holy Lands of Jianxiu, the Hidden Sword Pavilion acquired the Sword Sect’s Sword Mountain and Sword Washing Pond in the past, and the Wanjian Tower acquired the Sword Sect’s Jingshu Pavilion, which led to the sudden rise of these two sects. And Beihai Jiandao and Ling Sect
Sword Villa also has some inexplicable and unknown causal relationship with the Sword Sect, which is why this so-called Four Holy Lands of Sword Cultivation was finally established.
Among the three families, the Dongfang Family was built by the descendants of the royal family of the Eastern Han Dynasty, one of the three dynasties of the Second Era; the Nangong Family was built by the descendants of one of the four Heavenly Tribes of the Second Era; and the Ximen Family was built after the split of Lingshan in the past.
, founded by an elder after he returned to secular life.
Among the three giants of martial arts, Dahuang City has received the martial arts inheritance of the first era; Shen Yuan Villa was established by the great saint who rebelled against the demon clan; Tiandao Sect's background is relatively worse than the first two, but its founder was also the former one.
A peerless strongman who has emerged from countless battles with the demon clan over the years, there is still a legend about this "Demon-Slaying Crazy Sword" among the demon clan.
The two schools of Confucianism, Baijiayuan, are separated from the Zhuzi Academy, and the origin of the Zhuzi Academy involves the inheritance of the Academy in the Second Era. Like Lingshan, they are both hermits during the Dharma Tribulation at the end of the Second Era.
Sect.
Among the four Taoist sects, Tianshan sect and Longhushan are also secluded sects; few people in Wandao Palace know its origins, but Huang Zi is one of them, because its inheritance is related to Tiangong; as for Zhenyuan Sect
The founder of the Heavenly Sword Clan, like the one from the Tiandao Sect, was created by a venerable who came out of the battle with the demon clan. The other party had a fatal friendship with the earliest founders of the Tiangong.
As for the thirty-six sects and the seventy-two sects, there are very few who really come out of it relying on luck and opportunity. Most of them are powerful people who came out of the nineteen sects. The sects founded by the Venerable, they were once the nineteen sects.
The identity of the subordinate sects of the sect. Only with the passage of time, under various opportunities, did these subordinate sects gradually get rid of the control of the main sect and acquire completely independent characteristics.
Of course, this is not all.
There are still a small number of the Thirty-six Sects and the Seventy-two Sects, who cannot escape the radiating influence from the Nineteenth Sect.
But on the other hand, without the inheritance of the Nineteen Sects, these sects would not be able to develop.
Therefore, this is the difference between inheritance with foundation and inheritance without foundation.
In Taiyi Valley, if Shangguan Xin, Tang Shiyun, and Ye Jinxuan were released, they would be able to create a behemoth in a matter of minutes with potential that is not inferior to that of the Nineteen Sects.
There is no other reason.
The three of them themselves possess extremely profound and inherited knowledge.
But precisely because of this, Huang Zi's influence on these three people is actually the lowest.
Rather than saying that these three people were his disciples, it would be better to say that these three people were fellow Taoists who could sit down and discuss Taoism with him.
Especially Shangguan Xin.
Huang Zi thought for a while and felt that it was not a good thing to continue to let Shangguan Xin go like this.
"What do you want to do again?" Shangguan Xin suddenly felt a chill.
Being in the Daoji realm, she can already see a glimpse of the way of heaven, so even if she doesn't deliberately peek, she still has the three-dimensional concept of "somewhere in the world".
The sudden chill made her realize that something bad was forming.
But in today's mysterious world, if the Venerable Sea of Bitter Realm does not come out, she is an existence that can truly walk sideways in the mysterious world.
Therefore, there are not many people who can scheme against her or make her suffer.
But there happened to be someone right in front of me.
"How could you think so bad of my teacher?" Huang Zi looked distressed, "Everything I did for my teacher was for your own good."
"Ha." Shangguan Xin sneered, expressing disdain.
"For my own good? The last time you asked me to go to Nanzhou, I ended up being trapped in the Netherworld Ancient Battlefield for two hundred and seventeen years. Is this what you call being for my own good?"
"But you are not in the Daoji realm now?" Huang Zi curled his lips, "There are many geniuses in the Xuan world, but you are the only one who can enter the Daoji realm before the age of five hundred so far in this era. You see,
Am I doing it for your own good? Now, as long as you don't get out of the sea of suffering, no one in the Xuan Realm can stop you, and you can do whatever you want in the world."
"I believed your evil!" Shangguan Xin cursed, "You are such a bad old man!"
"Stop talking so much." Huang Zi refused to listen, "The secret realm of Tianshan Mountain is about to be opened. Do you want to go there with Lao Wu?"
"Is the Tianshan secret realm about to open?"
"Well, when it was opened last time, you were not qualified to enter, but this time you are qualified." Huang Zi nodded, "And... I heard that none of the people who entered last time seemed to have reached the top of Tianshan Mountain, so this time
If there are no accidents, there should be two Tianshan Fairy Lotus Grasses at one time. With your strength, you should be able to compete for one... As for Lao Wu, I'm afraid it depends on chance."
