Chapter Seventy-Seven—The Soul of Creation (Destiny)
Gao Hanyue's whispered voice was extremely sad, it sounded like he had lost hope, and this voice also shocked the Guangjun Cangwu Instrument Spirit who stayed in Gao Hanyue's spiritual sea, his mood was also a little complicated, he didn't know how to give it well, he was a little helpless, a little disappointed, and a little sympathetic to Gao Hanyue.
Although he doesn't particularly understand, Gao Hanyue's past is nothing compared to many people, there are many people who have lost their parents since childhood, grow up alone, and experience a lot of setbacks and pain when they grow up, don't they still persevere? In Gao Hanyue's past memories, it seems that there is no tragic experience that makes people sigh.
However, as Guangjun Cangwu's instrument spirit, since he had signed such a contract with Gao Hanyue, he naturally wanted to ensure Gao Hanyue's safety as much as possible.
If Gao Hanyue really lost the Spiritual Sea, it would be tantamount to losing his qualifications and mission to continue as a Soul Cultivator. Then Guangjun Cangwu Instrument Spirit will not hesitate to terminate the contract, and she will not return what Gao Hanyue has paid.
Guangjun Cangwu Instrument Spirit has always been like this, he will take the initiative to choose the person he approves, and conclude some kind of special contract with him that only they know, through this special contract, the fate of the two people is temporarily connected.
But when, for whatever reason, the person who made the contract with him loses the means to make him approve, then he will decisively abandon the contract and find someone else who he can approve.
Guangjun Cangwu is the artifact of the spirit clan among the ancient tribes, and it is also one of the important criteria for selecting the patriarch of the spirit clan for generations. After the former patriarch of the Spirit Clan, due to various reasons, either died or lost his power, thus losing the approval of Guangjun Cangwu, the Machine Spirit will find another person in the Spirit Family who is recognized by him.
After regaining the approval of Guangjun Cangwu, the successor can directly obtain the power of the machine spirit. In the Spirit Clan, Guangjun Cangwu has an extraordinary majesty and status, regardless of his original background or not, these are not enough to stop this person, who was recognized by Guangjun Cangwu Instrument Spirit, and succeeded him as the next Spirit Clan patriarch.
The spirit clan has been inherited for thousands of years, and since obtaining the artifact of Guangjun Cangwu, the inheritance method of the spirit family has also undergone subtle changes. Slowly, the inheritance of the Ling family became inextricably linked with Guangjun Cangwu.
It wasn't until later that the court established by the Ling family was destroyed by the Yu Dynasty, although the Ling family was pardoned by the Yu Dynasty and the Hades of the ancient tribes at that time, the momentum within its tribe was greatly weakened. At the moment when the clan was impacted, Guangjun's position became even more important.
In the end, in the more than 300 years of inheritance, the patriarch selection system of the Ling family has basically coincided with Guangjun Cangwu, and the people of the Ling family who have been recognized by Guangjun Cangwu can also obtain the qualification to inherit the status of the patriarch even if they are partial concubines.
At that time, in order to win the recognition of Guangjun Cangwu, people within the Ling family would work hard from the moment they were born, whether they were sons-in-law or concubines, they could contact Guangjun Cangwu. After the death of the previous patriarch or the loss of Guangjun Cangwu's approval, the elders within the Spirit Clan will re-place Guangjun Cangwu in the clan temple, waiting for the clansmen who can obtain his appointment to appear. Once someone is able to use Guangjun Cangwu, it means that they have obtained the approval of Guangjun Cangwu, and the Council of Elders will immediately declare them the heir of the patriarch.
This in itself is not the only criterion for the inheritance of the Spirit Clan, although Guangjun Cangwu has indeed brought unpredictable prosperity to their clan, without such an artifact, the Spirit Clan does not have the opportunity and ability to unify the Nine Domains Continent. The Spirit Clan itself is a tribe that is not keen on power, and the first patriarch, that is, the adjutant of the Creation God, Ling Cun, chose the base of the Spirit Clan as the Shengmang Great Forest in the southwest of the Nine Domains, and its own purpose was to keep the clan members away from the land of strife - the royal city.
But with the Yue tribe entering the royal city, the special musical talent and the ability to give music and rhythm words were favored by the Yue Mo family who liked music and rhythm, and gradually got the opportunity to enter the royal city.
After nearly a hundred years in the royal city, the spirit clan gradually turned from an outsider with no foundation to a powerful force in the royal city through their own efforts and the Yue tribe's ignorance and laissez-faire. At that time, the former homeland of the Spirit Clan, the Shengmang Great Forest, had become a complete homeland, and the very few Spirit Clansmen who stayed here were also completely forgotten.
At the end of the regime established by the Yue people, the Ling people can be said to have reached the point where they can cover the sky with one hand, and the efforts of several generations finally laid a very solid foundation for seizing the power of the Yue people.
With the establishment of the regime, the ideas and pursuits of the Spirit Race itself have also changed subtly. So much so that in the end, Guangjun Cangwu, an artifact that was used to judge the comprehensive ability of the heirs of the Spirit Clan, and whether it had the right to inherit, became the best tool for fighting for power and profit.
Some ambitious but not strong spirit clan sons-in-law, they should have no inheritance rights, but they tried every means to conclude a bloodline contract, or other harsh conditions, secretly obtained the support of Guangjun Cangwu, that is, Guangjun Cangwu instrument spirit, and used some unsavory means, and finally succeeded to the position of the patriarch of the spirit clan. These people, in order not to be criticized for their insufficient ability, they changed the rules of inheritance of the patriarch of the Spirit Clan, as long as they were approved by Guangjun Cangwu, they could inherit the position of patriarch.
But these people don't know that once they conclude a relationship with Guangjun Cangwu Instrument Spirit, which is not recognition, but a very heavy price in exchange for support, the consequences will be very severe, and Guangjun Cangwu Instrument Spirit has the ability to directly take away their strength and lives at any time. During that time, the speed of the change of the patriarch of the Spirit Clan was very fast, and the previous patriarch would die violently in less than five years after he succeeded to the imperial power.
Even so, there are still a large number of tribal members who yearn for the power of the world, desperate to gain the approval of Guangjun Cangwu. Hundreds of years later, the fame of this artifact gradually grew, and the people of the Nine Domains no longer longed for and hoped for it, but feared it.
People of good deeds have recorded that the patriarch of the Spirit Clan, who died under the "approval" of Guangjun Cangwu, will be reappointed within five years, and in the more than 300 years that the Spirit Clan has ruled the Nine Domains, there will be no less than seventy or eighty people of the Spirit Clan. Gradually, Guangjun's "prestige" resounded throughout the Nine Domains, and even there were rumors of it on the Hanhai Demon Spirit Continent, and this Changqin Guzheng, which was known as "Death and Death", no one dared to touch it again in the end.
Before the sinking of the Nine Domains, as the combined forces of the Ice Clan and the Phoenix Clan invaded the royal city, the Forbidden Curse of Destruction released by the entire Wu Clan together killed the ancient tribes that were still on the Nine Domains Continent at that time, the Ice Clan, the Phoenix Clan, the Hades Clan, the Spirit Clan, and their own Wu Clan, all of whom were spared in this catastrophe of destruction, and only a handful of people were lucky enough to escape.
But it was these few survivors who crossed the sea and fled to the Hanhai Demon Spirit Continent, among which there were two Spirit Clansmen, at the last moment of the destruction of the Nine Domains, at the cost of their own lives, and won the support of Guangjun Cangwu, Guangjun Cangwu Weapon Spirit protected these two Spirit Clansmen with the protection of the silver soul, and barely escaped from the deepest part of the destruction storm - the royal city, and fled to the Hanhai Demon Spirit Continent, which was not affected by the destruction of the Nine Domains.
Even though these two spirit clansmen barely saved their lives in this way, they signed a life contract with Guangjun Cangwu, which is equivalent to saying that they completely put their lives in the hands of Guangjun Cangwu Spirit, and they no longer have the right to be the master of their own lives. In disguise, these two Spirit Clansmen have only postponed the process of their own deaths.
Five years later, Guangjun Cangwu Instrument Spirit easily took their lives according to the agreement. On the Hanhai Demon Spirit Continent, not everyone knew the horror of this long qin and guzheng, so this guqin, which had lost its owner, traveled all over the world and changed hands one after another on the Hanhai Demon Spirit Continent. Until, the people of the Hanhai Demon Spirit Continent also knew that this guqin, which once came from the Nine Domains, was known as the "death and death" of Guangjun Cangwu, which was such a terrifying existence.
The owners who possess it are all in a hurry to attack it as if they were hiding from the dark forces. Later, Guangjun Cangwu Instrument Spirit gradually got tired of this life, and he took the initiative to choose to seal himself in this guqin and never see the light of day again.
People who have owned this Guangjun Cangwu think that the seal set on this Guqin is a seal within the Spirit Clan, because whether it is the appearance of this seal or the powerful power it contains, on the premise of not knowing that there is such a existence as the Guangjun Cangwu Instrument Spirit, they will naturally preconceive that this is a seal set up within the Spirit Clan.
Gao Hanyue was in a hurry to make a move, and because of a coincidence, or rather the shopkeeper's eagerness to make a move, he effortlessly obtained this artifact that people couldn't avoid. In the process of contact, Gao Hanyue also realized that there was a very strong seal on this guqin. So, she set off for the Nine Domains, wanting to find the witchcraft scepter left by the first patriarch of the Wu Clan, Phantom Night, so as to unlock the purple note seal on Guangjun's canopy.
Realizing that Guangjun Cangwu will be able to reverse her current ability and fight the Dark Legion in the future, it may be able to play an unpredictable role. In the process of finding the scepter of witchcraft, the Guardian had told her that this Guangjun Cangwu, although the most powerful existence in the soul of the instrument, was indeed worthy of the name of an artifact. But if you want to really use it, you need to pay a price that is unacceptable to ordinary people, and it may directly kill you.
Gao Hanyue once hesitated, she was not worried about her life, she was just afraid that even if she gave this life, she did not obtain the power of Guangjun Cangwu, so the sacrifice would outweigh the loss. So, she decided to find out what kind of power this guqin contains, and then make a decision.
