Chapter Ninety-Six: The Secret History of Antiquity
The old monk slowly told a secret of ancient times that was known in vain, and Ning Chu was fascinated when he heard it.
According to him, in ancient times, the three worlds of heaven, earth, and man were ruled by gods, human kings, and underworlds, but later, as the gods continued to grow stronger, wars broke out in the heavenly realm (fairy realm) first.
Powerful gods appeared, and after hundreds of years of chaotic warfare, they finally calmed down.
It's a pity that the heavenly realm has been shattered after pacification.
So the remaining gods worked together to create the heavenly court and elected the gods to co-lead...... Emperor of Heaven!
During this period of the Heavenly Realm Civil War, the strength of the human world skyrocketed, and the human king at that time was very powerful, and even the gods were not opponents, and once threatened the rule of the Heavenly Court.
Later, the Emperor of Heaven united with the Hades and another force to secretly attack the Terrans.
The human king was killed, and since then the world has fallen apart, and countless Taoist systems and forces have appeared.
And the current monarch of the dynasty is just a hegemon, and the luck of the human king has been broken, and it is difficult to appear a human king who can threaten the gods.
"Hey......"
When he said this, the old monk sighed slightly.
In that battle, both the heavenly realm and the human world were defeated, and the Hades King was no longer satisfied with the rule of the heavenly court, and after preparing for a thousand years, he finally started a war with the heavenly court.
That is, the 'Heavenly Underworld War' 3,000 years ago!
However, no one expected it.
The underworld was defeated.
After the gods and the gods have been fighting for several years, the heavenly realm has already suffered a great injury, while the underworld has been silently preparing for more than a thousand years, but it was defeated, and the defeat was a mess.
The Hades died in battle, the underworld was sealed, and the ruins of silence have been silenced ever since.
"I see. ”
Ning Chu breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that before the 'Heavenly Netherworld War', there were still two major battles.
However, because it is too long ago, not many people know about it.
The old monk pondered for a moment, and after Ning Chu digested all the information, he spoke again: "Actually, most people don't know that after the Heavenly Court sealed the underworld, it also quietly sealed the human world, which is what you saw on the top of the Tianshan Mountain. ”
"Why did you seal the sky?"
"Of course, it is to stifle the development of the human and underworld, although the 'Heavenly Netherworld War' Heavenly Court won, but it is also a tragic victory, and the real vitality is greatly damaged, so they will seal the underworld and the human world, and recuperate silently while stifling the development of the two sides. ”
What you see at the top of the Tianshan Mountains is just a corner of the heavens.
Like the nodes of the underworld, the territory of the human world is infinite, and naturally there are many corresponding nodes, and the nodes of the underworld are guarded by human forces. In the same way, the nodes in the human world are also guarded by forces. ”
Ning Chu's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this, and he asked, "Are they the people who chased and killed us today? aren't they also monks in the human world?"
"That's right. ”
The old monk's voice was hoarse, and there was sadness in his words. "The human world was sealed, and even the heavenly court could not easily go to the lower realm, so they found some forces in the human world and established the 'pseudo-heavenly court' to guard the human world. ”
"Pseudo-Heavenly Court?"
Ning Chu scoffed: "Isn't it just the lackey of Heavenly Court in the world, it sounds so good." ”
"Amitabha. ”
The old monk recited a Buddha name and continued:
"The pseudo-heavenly court is just my name, they call themselves the 'Heavenly Punishment Palace', and the people in the Heavenly Punishment Palace call themselves the 'Heavenly Punisher', and the people who are chasing and killing you today are not the 'Heavenly Punisher', they are just sect forces under the 'Heavenly Punishment Palace'. ”
Ning Chu's chest rose and fell, and he asked with some indifference: "Then there are many power sects in the world, just let these lackeys run rampant, why don't they attack them in groups?"
"Amitabha. ”
The old monk sighed and said: "Since the world has been sealed and the way of heaven has been blocked, the monks in the world can only stop at returning to the immortal realm, and there are no immortals in the world for thousands of years, where is the opponent of the 'Heavenly Punishment Palace'." ”
"The people of the Heavenly Punishment Palace have all become immortals?"
The old monk nodded, then shook his head again.
"To become a fairyland, but there is no immortal way. ”
"How do you say this? Please also ask the eminent monk to make it clear. "Ning Chu humbly asks for advice.
"Because of the support of the Heavenly Court, they can take that step and enter the Immortal Realm, but because the Heavenly Dao is covered, they have the Immortal Realm, but they have no Immortal Dao Fruit, so they can only be regarded as pseudo-immortals. ”
"I kind of get it. ”
Ning Chu nodded as if he didn't understand.
That is to say, the cultivation of the people of the 'Heavenly Punishment Palace' is between the Returning Immortal Realm (Ninth Order) and the Immortal Realm, and they are in an awkward position of not being able to go up or down, which can not only suppress the human cultivators, but also will not pose a threat to the Heavenly Court.
seems to be superior, but in fact it has been reduced to a dog that bites people.
You can guess with your feet that the reason why they have been unable to achieve the Immortal Dao Fruit for a long time is that the Heavenly Dao is actually only one aspect, and the real reason is that Heavenly Court doesn't want them to take that step.
This is the same as the fact that ordinary people have dogs.
Let you eat a little better than a wild dog, but it won't let you eat enough.
So that they can be loyal and diligent in their homes.
After learning about the secret history, Ning Chu had new questions.
"I don't know who the master is, he knows so many unknown secrets, and ...... What is the purpose of what you are telling me about this?
"And most importantly, where is this place?"
Facing Ning Chu's aggressive inquiry, the old monk chuckled.
"Isn't there already a guess in the donor's mind? ”
"The underworld?"
"Not bad!"
Ning Chu's face changed greatly, although he had already guessed in his heart just now, but after hearing the other party's affirmative answer at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart.
Isn't the underworld sealed, how did you get in?
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, in fact, the underworld is not what you think, and I brought you here without any harm. ”
The old monk seemed to feel Ning Chu's hostility.
When he spoke again, his tone was much more sincere: "I brought the little donor here because I wanted to cooperate with you. ”
"Work with me, work with what?"
"As the poor monk just said, now that the two worlds of man and the underworld are sealed, and they are hostile to each other, the heavenly court is secretly recuperating and recuperating. ”
Hearing this, Ning Chu already roughly understood something, but he still asked, "So the master is ready to unite the human and the underworld to fight against the heavenly court?"
"Yes!"
"Haha......"
Ning Chu chuckled, and really felt that the old monk in front of him was a little crazy.
"If the master wants to unite people and the underworld, he should find the strongest person or king in the world, and he is just a minor monk of the Dao realm, and now it is even more difficult to protect himself, you really think too highly of me. ”
The old monk smiled and shook his head.
"The donor is weak now, but it does not mean that in the future, the poor monk is not a foolish person, we have been looking for a thousand years, and the small donor is the most suitable candidate.
And I didn't have any plans to bring you here this time, just to be honest with the little benefactor, and the cooperation will be discussed in detail when you really grow up. ”
"Oh?"
Is he trying to train me?
Ning Chu's thoughts were racing, and one thing was certain, the unpredictable old monk in front of him had a high status in the underworld, and what he just said was not me, but us.
This proves that there are other people involved in it.
With their identity, they would not be able to coax themselves into a small Dao Realm cultivator.
But if it is really according to what the old monk said, they have been looking for thousands of years before they find themselves.
This...... Does it indirectly mean something?
