Chapter 152: Revealing the Mysterious Yellow Ruler
The old greedy man admired Jing Xing very much. He mentioned it more than once a long time ago, hoping that Su Yi would give up his love and let him teach Jing Xing on Su Yi's behalf and guide Jing Xing's practice.
He also vowed to make Jing Xing the ancestor of Confucianism and Taoism and become the most holy teacher in the hearts of scholars all over the world.
However, before Su Yi could make a decision, Jing Xing refused, saying that once he was a teacher, he would always be a father. If he turned to another person's school, his behavior would be the same as acknowledging a thief as his father.
This anger made the old greedy man's tooth hurt, but there was nothing he could do.
But every time I see Su Yi, I will always talk about the spiritual practice related to Jing Xing.
Because of this, Su Yi knew very well that with the old greedy temperament, it was indeed possible to lure Jing Xing to his door while he was away!
"This... Patriarch shouldn't do such a thing... right..."
Yu Changming was startled, and his voice became weaker and weaker as he spoke.
"Okay, let's not talk about this matter. It is a blessing for Jing Xing to be able to practice with the old glutton."
Su Yi smiled.
At first, he was worried that Jing Xing, a nerd, would lose his mind and do something stupid.
Now I don't worry about it at all.
With the old greedy man's unfathomable skills, in this vast world, only a handful of old antiques can compete with him.
Such as the "Taoist" in Jiuji Xuandu, the old monk Yanxin in Xiaoxitian, the female devil with changeable temperament in the Paradise Demon Land, etc.
Next, Su Yi asked about the disaster that happened in Tianxuan Academy today.
"They are here for the Xuanhuang Ruler."
Yu Changming directly explained the reason.
However, there was a trace of confusion between his brows, and he said: "Aside from its extremely ancient origin, this treasure has no special place. It has been enshrined in the 'Temple of All Sages' in the academy."
"In the past, I also asked my ancestors about the origin of this treasure. My ancestors only said that this treasure has a great origin and can be traced back to ancient times, but... it has no use.
Just treat it as a relic of the ancestors."
Su Yi couldn't help but said in surprise: "Eternal ago?"
The years before the Great Wilderness were filled with ignorance and unknown. That period of ancient history was as if it had been wiped out and completely eradicated, with no inheritance or classics remaining.
In his previous life, Su Yi had traced and explored this period of history, but in the end he only found some vague legends with no evidence to rely on and no traces to be found.
It was also when he was in the Netherworld not long ago that he learned that the world plane under the starry sky was called the "Xuanhuang Star Realm"!
At the very beginning, this world was extremely gorgeous and brilliant. It was regarded as the origin of the stars and heavens, and there were many mythical giants that reached the sky!
But later, the Xuanhuang Star Realm was ruined, and the rules of the sky covering this starry sky were damaged and withered!
According to what Pluto said at the beginning, the destruction of the Xuanhuang Star Realm originated from a mysterious catastrophe.
After the catastrophe, all the gods were buried, all myths disappeared, and the Xuanhuang Star Realm was completely reduced to a ruin-like place.
From that time on, the Xuanhuang Star Realm was also known as the ‘Old Land of Star Ruins’.
Time is ruthless, and the passage of time will eventually dissolve and annihilate the traces of the ancient past. The power of cultivation in the Xuanhuang Star Realm has been almost destroyed under this mysterious catastrophe. Even the monks deep in the starry sky have long been dead.
Completely forget the Xuanhuang Star Realm.
And now, Su Yi already knows that the period of history that disappeared in the eons ago was most likely a dark era when the Xuanhuang Star Realm went from its most glorious period to its ruin!
"Where is the Xuanhuang Ruler now?"
Su Yi asked.
How can one not be curious about a treasure that has been preserved from eternity?
"On me."
As Yu Changming spoke, he took out a simple black jade box and handed it to Su Yi, "Master Su, please take a look."
Su Yi was not polite and opened the jade box. Inside the jade box, there was a jade ruler that was only two feet long and three fingers wide.
It was gray all over, as if it had been burned by lightning, and there were some scorch marks on the surface.
Other than that, there's nothing special about it.
However, the "scorch marks" on this jade ruler reminded Su Yi of some ancient treasures of unknown origin that he had collected in his previous life.
Those ancient treasures are all the same as this Xuanhuang ruler, with some indelible scorch marks imprinted on the surface, as if they had been burned by thunder and fire.
Moreover, in his previous life, Su Yi used various means to find out the mystery and purpose of these ancient treasures, so he had always left them to eat ashes in the treasure house of Taixuan Cave Heaven, without paying any attention to them.
What impressed Su Yi the most was a "stone tower" that was only about a foot tall. The stone tower was divided into nine floors, and each floor was imprinted with such scorch marks, making it look very mottled and old.
At this time, when he saw the scorch marks on the black and yellow ruler, Su Yi suddenly realized that the ancient treasures he had collected in his previous life most likely also contained great mysteries!
"In the past years, many sages from our Tianxuan Academy have also speculated on the origin of this treasure, and used various secret methods to detect it, trying to discover the mystery of this treasure, but in the end they found nothing."
Yu Changming explained softly, "I feel ashamed to say it. If the Feathering Sword Court had not come here for this treasure this time, I would have almost forgotten that there is such a treasure enshrined in the Academy Hall of All Sages."
Su Yi abandoned the distracting thoughts in his mind, took out the black and yellow ruler, held it in his hand and looked at it carefully, and asked casually: "Isn't this old man able to discover the mystery of this treasure?"
Yu Changming shook his head, "It should be so. In my impression, in the past years, the Patriarch never paid attention to this thing at all."
Su Yi nodded slightly.
He also noticed that this Xuanhuang ruler was the same as the ancient treasures he collected in his previous life, and there was nothing special about it.
However, since the old man in sackcloth from "Hua Xin Zhai" has set his sights on this treasure, it is destined that this treasure cannot be an ordinary thing!
"Have you ever tried to break this treasure?"
Su Yi asked.
"Tried."
Yu Changming said in awe, "The sages of the academy in the past have chopped it with swords, split it with thunder, and roasted it with divine flames... But no matter how powerful they were, they could not shake this treasure in the slightest."
Su Yi said: "This alone is far beyond comparison with other treasures."
The ancient treasures he collected in his previous life cannot be shaken either!
It was precisely because of this that he did not abandon these castles in the first place, but left them in the treasure house to gather ashes.
Yu Changming nodded and said: "That's true, but... it's just that."
"Can you let me try?"
Su Yidao.
"Master Su, just try, don't worry."
Yu Changming hurriedly said, "If we could break open this treasure and get a glimpse of its secrets, I believe even the Patriarch would be happy to see it happen."
Su Yi nodded.
He did not use brute force, but directly used the laws of Taoism he had mastered to test.
However, after Su Yi successively used the power of the laws of reincarnation, withering and rising, the other side, and sinking, the black and yellow ruler showed no reaction at all.
"If the Law of Termination still fails, we will have to think of other means."
As Su Yi's mind turned, a wisp of the power of the avenue, as dark as dusk, emerged from his fingertips.
The reason why he had not used brute force before was because in the past years, the sages of Tianxuan Academy had already used various methods to detect the Xuanhuang Ruler.
This also means that special means must be used to perhaps get a glimpse of the mystery of this treasure.
Sure enough, his guess was correct.
When the ultimate secret is used, the Black and Yellow Ruler reacts!
Even if it is extremely subtle, this is already an amazing discovery!
It is worth mentioning that Su Yi's understanding of the Law of Termination is only superficial, not even an introduction.
The Mystery of Ending is the core of the Great Way of Reincarnation! This is why he feels so difficult and strenuous when he comprehends the Mystery of Reincarnation.
Moreover, Su Yi never expected that the mystery of ending could actually cause Xuanhuang Ruler to react!
After calming down his mind, he held his breath and concentrated, carefully using his finishing power to cover the Xuanhuang Ruler like a spider web.
Tsk! Tsk!
There was a fine cracking sound.
An astonishing scene happened. The scorch marks on the surface of the Xuanhuang Ruler looked like they had been struck by lightning. At this moment, they were like a collapsed and peeling wall, dissipating in the dusk-like final force.
Suddenly, the gray jade ruler became crystal clear.
A pure and thick aura of primitive chaos spread out.
boom!
Su Yi's hand sank, and he felt that the black and yellow ruler suddenly turned into an ancient sacred mountain, and his wrist almost broke under the pressure.
The nearby void seemed unable to withstand the heavy oppressive force, and collapsed suddenly, producing a rumbling and exploding sound!
It wasn't until Su Yi turned around that he could hold this treasure in his palm. Such a shocking change made him couldn't help but be moved and his eyes brightened.
On the black and yellow ruler, a chaotic flame emerged, shooting straight into the sky, shaking the stars, and the sky above Fengqi Mountain suddenly seemed to be covered by gray clouds.
This astonishing change shocked Yu Changming and murmured: "What kind of power is this, just like the arrival of chaos in a large world!"
His mind trembled, and he seemed to be in a trance in a primitive and ancient chaos. The fields were vast, he didn't know how big it was, it was indescribable, and he felt as small as a drop in the ocean.
Su Yi had already stood up from the wicker chair and stood upright.
The Qi around his body roared, and his robes made a hunting sound. If he hadn't used the Mystery of Ending to hold the Black and Yellow Ruler, the power of this treasure alone could easily crush Fengqi Mountain under his feet!
Su Yi couldn't help but suspect that once he let go, the power erupted from the black and yellow ruler could completely crush the world and crush it into pieces!
boom!
The sky was shaking, chaotic flames were surging, and the entire area thousands of feet in radius was enveloped in a dim and gloomy atmosphere.
This is just a strange phenomenon caused by a wisp of breath released by Xuanhuang Ruler!
"It turns out that the scorch marks on the Xuanhuang Ruler are most likely a mysterious forbidden power, and the ultimate secret can break this forbidden power, thus revealing the true face of the Xuanhuang Ruler!"
At this moment, Su Yi vaguely understood.
He suddenly remembered those ancient treasures in his previous life that were still eating ashes in his treasure house!
