"Uncle Zheng also said the same, he was one of the star warriors who guarded the city at that time, and when he heard the news and rushed from another section of the city wall, my parents were already ...... Nope. The Star Temple sent someone to investigate, but in the end, it was not done. Later, thanks to Uncle Zheng's taking me in, I have been living in Whitehorse Town ever since. Wu Xing clenched his right fist and said in a deep voice: "Back then, those Xingwu people on Koubian were all well-known among the barbarian tribes, and I will definitely cultivate hard after the completion of this trial...... When the time comes, go to the bitter cold land in the north, look for those barbarian star warriors, and verify the truth!"

"According to your current cultivation method, you may end up like that examiner, and you will be a seventh-grade star martial artist if you die. Seven-rank Xingwu went to the bitter cold land in the north, is it to send him to death?" the old man shook his head.

Wu Xing just glanced at the old man, but did not speak, obviously not believing what the latter said.

The old man stroked his beard, changed his words, and asked, "Listen to what you just said, when the fire meteor crashed down the giant stone stele? Are you talking about the giant stone tablet in the Heavenly Court ruins above the ladder? Is that huge stone tablet very large, much larger and taller than all the other steles in the stele forest?"

"I heard the old man in White Horse Town say that it seems to be like this......" Wu Xinghu glanced at the old man suspiciously, and asked rhetorically, "So what?"

"Then it's no wonder!" the old man sighed and said: "These giant stone tablets in the stele forest are actually from the original Heavenly Court, well, equivalent to 'floor', 'wall brick', Wenqu Xingtian Emperor and Wuqu Xingtian Emperor and the gods attach inscriptions to them, and then use the inscriptions to carry the star power, so that the Heavenly Court can swim on the Nine Heavens Star Sea; however, there are nine steles that are the first of all the steles, which is called ' The Law of Nine Words, containing the nine heavenly ways, is the foundation of the operation of all things in the universe, and is the cornerstone of the Wenqu Star Heavenly Emperor and the Wuqu Star Heavenly Emperor and the gods to rule the heavenly court. ”

"It's a pity that there are no two days in the sky and no two masters in the country. The Wenqu Xingtian Emperor and the Wuqu Xingtian Emperor later broke with each other and went to war. It's just that the two Heavenly Emperors and the gods are extremely powerful beings, and their methods of dealing with the defeated are beyond our imagination and extremely cruel......."

Wu Xing vaguely guessed what the old man was talking about, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and muttered: "Could it be that the defeated are sealed in the giant stone stele? This is the origin of the stele spirit?"

"Eh, wait a minute......" Wu Xing suddenly found that there was a key word in the old man's sentence just now that was very easy to misunderstand, so he asked directly: "You just said 'beyond our imagination', are you sure it's 'us'? You also said before, 'The reason why I appeared is according to your habits'....... Who the hell are you?"

The old man's eyes were a little empty, as if he was caught in a memory, and said slowly: "Thousands of years ago, a king was born on the Starfall Continent who had no one before and no one after him. After decades of conquest, he unified the entire Starfall Continent, expelled the barbarians to the bitter cold land in the north, took thousands of huge stone tablets from the top of the ladder, and built an impassable city wall between the lofty mountains and mountains in the north, called the 'Great Wall', and locked the barbarians firmly in the north. After that, this king ascended the throne and became the emperor, and he was the first emperor of the ages!"

"After becoming emperor, the emperor's mind changed greatly, and he had a whim, and tried to conquer the Great Rift Valley, which was regarded as purgatory by the common people! On weekdays, even Xingzun is reluctant to stay in the Great Rift Valley for a long time, let alone a lower-grade civil and military star monarch or even an ordinary soldier?! Even if he loses troops and captures a few mountains on the periphery of the Great Rift Valley, he will be overwhelmed by the beast tide in the blink of an eye! Hehe! It can only be said that in that battle against the Great Rift Valley, in addition to the reckless use of military force and the loss of money and labor, the only good thing the emperor did for the Starfall Continent was to build two overpasses over the Great Rift Valley for the deployment of troops and the transportation of baggage and people. This has finally solved the traffic problem between the north and south of the mainland. ”

"Tianqiao?" Wu Xing asked thoughtfully, "Is it a style similar to the ladder?"

"Yes, two bridges that are literally suspended in mid-air. The old man continued: "However, it is precisely through the construction of the Great Wall and the Sky Bridge that the Emperor's understanding and application of the 'Nine Words Law' of the Wenwu Star Heavenly Emperor has also deepened a lot. Then, when he was supposed to recuperate with the people, the emperor ordered the Starfall Continent to be divided into thirty-six counties, and each county began to build majestic star temples for worship to the gods. The emperor even went to the East China Sea several times to supervise the dragon ships, and went to sea to find the legendary Penglai realm, trying to reach the heavenly court directly from Penglai....... Later, the realm of Penglai was found, and he also went up from the ladder to the heavenly court, but he only saw the heavenly court with broken walls and ruins. Originally, he should have stopped here and managed his huge empire with a group of star monarchs and ministers. Who would have thought that the emperor would become even more demonic, even more demonic, cronies and traitors, ignoring state affairs all day long, but concentrating on how to make the ruins of the Heavenly Court return to the Nine Heavens Star Sea, recast the glory of the Heavenly Court, and even began to recruit a large number of people from all over the country to build a platform in suitable places along the ladder of heaven......"

"In just a few years after the unification of the world on the Starfall Continent, if a large empire has become a trend of collapse, the people are not living well, beacons are everywhere, and even many star monarchs have joined the ranks of resisting the tyranny of the emperor! You must know that those who win the hearts of the people will win the world, and those who lose the hearts of the people will lose the world! In the end, the emperor will be executed if there are those who risk death to admonish the left and right, and the star monarch will be made into a stele spirit and sealed in the giant stone stele, which has reached the point of sensational madness......

"It is also thanks to the first emperor of the ages, I have lived thousands of years more and witnessed the vicissitudes of the Starfall Continent. It wasn't until the impact of the meteor that destroyed the seal that I was able to break free. ”

"It turns out that this is how you became the ....... of the stele spirit" Wu Xing's tone at this time naturally slowed down a lot, but he couldn't help but ask: "Why didn't you choose someone else and chose me instead?" The star monarchs or students of the Star Hall or the Star God Temple are far superior to me in terms of talent and qualifications!"

The old man smiled slightly and said, "This is going back to the giant stone tablet that fell from the ruins of the Heavenly Court to the stele forest in White Horse Town. In fact, among the ruins of the Heavenly Court, there is no such a unique megalithic tablet, and I am very sure about this. ”

Wu Xing was stunned for a moment, then guessed what the old man meant, stretched out his finger to the sky, and asked suspiciously: "According to your meaning, the ruins of the Heavenly Court on the ladder are not complete. Above the nine heavens, there are ....... The other part of the Heavenly Court is used to, well, store the 'Law of Nine Words'? And then, for some reason, maybe it finally lost the bearing of star power completely, and then one of the 'Law of Nine Words' giant stone tablet fell? In fact, it didn't fall from the ruins of the Heavenly Court?"

"Yes, according to my speculation, it is highly likely that the remaining parts of the 'Law of Nine Words' megalithic monument will fall one after another. The old man bowed his head and said, "And the interval between the fall times will get shorter and shorter." ”

"But, what does this have to do with me?" Wu Xing spread his hands and said, the topic went back to before: "I have ready-made exercises, which are simple and clear, why should I take the risk of following your arrangement and trying the so-called 'at least a three-rank Xingzun' exercise?"

The old man shook his head and said, "Ready-made exercises? two stars for half a month, four stars for two years, I will guarantee you nine stars for a month! But the condition is that you can't complete the trial, because as long as you land in the Penglai realm, you will definitely be aware of my existence by the priests of the Star God Temple." As long as you miss the realm of Penglai, and then you get off the ladder at the platform in Longxi, and go to the stele forest in White Horse Town to find the giant stone tablet of the Nine Words Law, our agreement will be completed. ”

"Wait...... What does it mean to be 'aware of my existence'?" Wu Xing wondered: "Didn't the stele spirit just help the trial students wake up and light up the Morning Star or Chang Geng Star? Hearing you say this, you actually want to leave the ladder with me? That giant stone stele is nothing special! I have been practicing martial arts since I was four years old, and I have been going in and out of the stele forest, and nothing unusual has happened. Moreover, it has been more than ten years since the giant stone tablet of the Nine Words Law fell into the stele forest in White Horse Town, and if there was anything in it, I am afraid it would have been taken away by the priests of the Star Hall long ago. ”

The old man pointed to his nose and said, "There is a living example in front of you. Why can't the other trial students or even the Star Monarch see me, but you can see me? They don't know the correct way to unseal the Nine Words Law Giant Stone Tablet, and it would be useless to spend another ten or twenty years. ”

Wu Xing was not so easily persuaded, shook his head and said, "You really said a flower....... But I still don't believe you, unless you tell me why only I can see you, why the jade pendant merges with my palm, why the priests of the Star Temple are aware of your presence?"

"Did you know that bats are actually blind, but they can walk around very small and dense things without hitting a wall, elephants can communicate in a language that humans cannot hear, and their language can travel a distance of ten or twenty miles, and even the giant whales in the dragon boat can communicate with each other in the water from a long distance. The old man explained, "You can see me, we can talk because we are of the same kind, we speak the same 'language.'" ”

"The same 'language'?" Wu Xing was puzzled.

"It's just that the 'conversation' we have now is actually happening in your head, limited to the two of us, but you can't talk to anyone else in this way. I am invisible to them. The old man continued: "Jade, on the other hand, is the essence of the stele and has the quality of assimilation with the master. In the future, you will pay a little attention to the fact that those Star Venerables are wearing jade pendants around their waists, and the jade pendants can increase their spiritual power to a certain extent, which is equivalent to, well, equivalent to a small doppelganger. And the piece of jade pendant that is integrated into your palm is owned by me, and it has been assimilated by my spiritual power for thousands of years. Water can be compatible with water, but fire and water are not. Therefore, it is only natural that the jade pendant can be smoothly integrated into your palm. After all, the palm of my hand is the bridge that communicates with the star power, and it is through the light star in your palm that I can establish contact with you. ”
