Chapter 800: The Legend of the Twelve Sovereigns
Twelve Sovereigns?" Hearing the gentleman's sigh, not only Ling Yu and Huang Ji and others, but even the ambush who had lived in China for a long time and was the first person in China to spend endless years also showed a look of doubt. The names of the Twelve Sovereigns were unfamiliar to them, they had never heard of them, and they did not know them.
"The Twelve Sovereigns were originally the twelve lords of the Star Sea when they were in the desolate world, and they divided the Star Sea and Kyushu, as long as there are living beings, it is their territory. It can be said that they are the masters of the desolate world, calling for wind and rain, dominating one side, and omnipotent!" said the gentleman with a sigh.
Mr.'s words made everyone can't help but fall into contemplation, in the desolate world, they are proud of the existence at the top of the star sea, and live to this life, so how strong will they be. These twelve people have completely surpassed the supreme power that the world can foresee, and even the true immortals are probably like ants, right? However, listening to Mr.'s words, it seems that these twelve people are already the masters of this world, so why do they want to reawaken in this world and stir up troubled times? What is the purpose of their doing this? When they bewitched the three Shangguan brothers, what did they want to find in Huaxia?
As if seeing everyone's doubts, Mr. shook his head and continued to explain: "The origin of the desolate world originated from the Pangu Divine Venerable, when the Pangu Divine Venerable was born in the last years of the Hongmeng period, when the Divine Venerable came into the world, Hongmeng was broken, and the chaotic period was opened. At this time, the Hongjun Dao Ancestor had already obtained the Hongmeng Purple Qi, and later, the Pangu God was an adult and stood between heaven and earth. When Pangu Divine Venerable opened the world, he entered the era of flood and famine. And at that time, twelve lords were born, and these twelve lords of the desolate world are also called the twelve monarchs of the desolate world. It can be said that they only appeared on this land slightly after the Pangu Divine Venerable. These twelve dominant-level creatures are not all human races, but also demon races, elf races, ghost races, and so on. Later, the Pangu Divine Venerable traveled outside the world, and the wisp of essence left in Huaxia was transformed into a human by Hongjun Dao Ancestor, which is the origin of Hongjun Old Ancestor's gasification and Sanqing......"
It turns out that the era of the Twelve Sovereigns of the Flood and the Pangu Divine Venerable is very similar, and to a certain extent, it was the opening of the Pangu Divine Venerable that gave birth to the Twelve Sovereigns of the Flood Desolation. When the Huaxia Continent had not yet taken shape, the heavens, earth and the sea of stars were in a fog, with no high heavens and no thick soil, which was the initial state of this universe. Hongmeng, also known as Hongmeng, a sage once said: "The clouds will travel eastward, passing the branches of Fuyao, and it is suitable for Hongmeng." "There are indeed living beings in the Hongmeng world, but only a very small part of the living beings at that time were able to generate spiritual intelligence, and the universe was still in an uncivilized state.
In the Hongmeng period, the heaven and the earth were not opened, the void was not divided, and in the Hongmeng world, there was a congenital mixed element of the elemental spirit. Later, this Yuan Ling Spiritual Aperture began to open and gradually became sane. Practicing in West Kunlun, he got a fragment of the artifact "Jade of Creation" by chance, and cultivated into a Taiyi True Immortal, calling himself "Hongjun Ancestor". Hongjun is also known as "Hongyuan Daozu", and there is a saying that "there is Hongjun first and then there is heaven". Hongjun Ancestor is the ancestor of all immortals and the teacher of all saints. Therefore, strictly speaking, Hongjun Ancestor is the predecessor of Pangu Divine Venerable. And when it comes to Hongjun Ancestor, we have to mention Lu Zhuan Dao people, that is, Lu Zhuan Daojun.
Lu Zhuan Dao people were also born at the beginning of Hongmeng, building the avenue, not admiring fame, having a free and easy relationship between heaven and earth, and practicing in West Kunlun. The seniority is extremely high, and he always saves the gods from danger, and he is ethereal and unpredictable. Some people say that Lu Zhudao is the highest and supreme, he is the Tao, he will not participate in the affairs of the world, will not favor anyone, anything in the world is just an insignificant goose feather for him, and he truly follows the way of heaven and let nature be. As long as it weren't for the battle of the saints who destroyed the world, he wouldn't have appeared. Therefore, Lu Zhudao and Hongjun Dao Ancestor can be regarded as the masters of the universe in the same period.
Later, at the end of the Hongmeng period, Hongmeng was shattered, chaos was generated, chaos was like an egg, Pangu was born in chaos, conceived for more than 10,000 years, and after waking up, his hands supported the sky and his feet stepped on the ground, his height increased every day, the sky became taller, and the earth became thicker. After reaching a certain height, he used a giant axe to split the adhesions, and according to legend, the giant axe was transformed by Tianhe Venus. Over time, the top is clear, and the bottom is turbid, and the world is clear. Pangu died of immortality due to overwork, his body turned into mountains, rivers and lakes, three mountains and five mountains, his eyes turned into the sun and the moon, his eyebrows turned into stars, and his limbs turned into four pillars that supported the sky. The last breath of the essence of Pangu Shenzun was transformed into a human by Hongjun Ancestor, and then there is a saying that Hongjun gasified three Qings, namely Taiqing: Taishang Laojun, Yuqing: Yuan Shi Tianzun, Shangqing: Tongtian Sect Master. However, in later generations of Taoism, the existence of Hongjun Daozu was not recognized. Therefore, whether Hongjun Daozu is true or false, whether it is a false rumor or a real person, people in later generations do not know.
And after the Pangu Divine Venerable was feathered, the world of the Flood Desolation was completely opened, and as a result, the Twelve Sovereigns of the Flood Desolation were born. But whether the Pangu Divine Venerable finally feathered away, or traveled outside the world, the world has different opinions. Some people believe that Pangu Shenzun participated in the creation of the world, and what he left in the Chinese world was just a shell, and his true spirit had already left this universe and soared outside the sky. Some people also say that in order to keep the blue sky from falling and the earth from sinking, the Pangu Divine Venerable had exhausted all the true spiritual power and passed away. But no matter what the truth is, the merits of Pangu Divine Venerable are indelible and admired.
Therefore, the period in this sea of stars can also be described so simply. The beginning of the Hongmeng period of heaven and earth was the Hongmeng period, when the Hongjun Dao ancestor and the Lu Zhuan Dao people were counted as the highest gods in the Hongmeng period. Later, Hongmeng was shattered, Pangu was born, and this universe officially entered the period of chaos. Later, when the Pangu God Venerable opened the heavens and the earth, and the heavens and the earth were divided, they entered the period of flood and famine. And at this time, it was also the period when the Twelve Sovereigns of the Flood Desolation were born. The Twelve Sovereigns of the Flood Desolation are all the masters of all sides and domains, and they dominate the sea of stars and control the life and death of all things. Therefore, later generations often recite such a poem:
There is Hongjun first, and then there is the sky, and Lu Zhuan Daojun is also in front;
Venus turned into an axe to open the sky, and Pangu was born in chaos;
Splitting the chaotic heaven and earth, the heaven and the earth are all born;
The essence is transformed into the three Qingzun, and the body is transformed into the essence of all things;
All things in heaven and earth have spirits, and ten thousand years of enlightenment will eventually be holy;
Hua Xu stepped on the holy footprints and gave birth to Emperor Fuxi Nuwa.
Among the twelve monarchs of the Flood Desolation, the most feared is their great monarch, who is in charge of the reincarnation disk and can erase the mark of the immortals. And the eleven monarchs under him are all ruthless characters, and each of them has their own unique knowledge. Among them, there are indeed people who can make good use of the power of time and space. The Twelve Sovereigns of the Flood Desolation have ruled the Star Sea for millions of years, and they are high gods, whether they are strong in the Star Sea or the Nine Heavens Immortals, they are all respectful to them. However, when he cultivated to the level of the Twelve Sovereigns of the Flood Desolation, he disdained to have any intersections with the powerhouses of the Star Sea and the immortals. They stand tall and look down on the common people with indifference. Later, after the rise of the Xuanyuan Holy Emperor, the Twelve Sovereigns of the Flood Desolation gradually disappeared. No one knows where they went, and no one knows if they are still alive. Because although the Twelve Sovereigns of the Flood Desolation are strong, they still cannot break the shackles of heaven and earth, so they cannot live forever.
Now, after Mr. killed Bai Luo, an afterimage that rushed out of his body actually admitted that he was one of the twelve monarchs of the Flood Desolation, then the problem was much more tricky. The Twelve Sovereigns of the Flood Desolation are the true rulers of this sea of stars, and if they have ill intentions towards Huaxia, the catastrophe of Huaxia is inevitable.
Mr. himself admitted that for the middle-aged man just now, Mr. did sense the aura of desolation on his body, which was a kind of terrifying coercion that could cut people apart. The gentleman knew that if the man's real body was here, he would definitely not be his opponent. Moreover, looking at the arrogant look of the middle-aged man, it didn't look like he was lying. The Twelve Sovereigns of the Flood Desolation are arrogant in nature, and they will never speak falsely to Mr. However, what makes Mr. puzzled now is that all the twelve monarchs of the Flood Desolation want to plunder the fate of Huaxia, or only two monarchs who are good at the power of time and space are eyeing Huaxia. If there were only two monarchs who wanted to take advantage of the beginning of the martial arts era to cause trouble in Kyushu, then Mr. and the others might still have the strength to fight. But if all the twelve monarchs of the Flood Desolation have ill intentions, then Huaxia will really reach a dead end. Because their great monarch is in charge of the reincarnation disk, which wears out all things, and cannot resist.
After listening to Mr.'s explanation, everyone fell silent. I thought that Bai Luo had just obtained some inheritance, or worshipped a master who had cultivated to a strong master. But if he had anything to do with the Twelve Sovereigns of the Flood Desolation, then the enemy hidden in the shadows would be too powerful. Ling Yu had always thought that as long as he subdued Huangfu Hate Heaven and Bai Luo and forced the cultivators behind them to be asked, he might be able to know who was really behind the scenes. But now that the twelve monarchs of the flood and desolation are involved, the originally somewhat clear situation has become confusing again. The Black Hand is the Twelve Sovereigns, which is incredible.
Ling Yu and the others were in a heavy mood, and they didn't know what to do for a while. Mr. and others have been tracking down the whereabouts of the black hand behind the scenes, but now that the real black hand has appeared, it has made everyone feel an irresistible pressure. How can the true master-level beings, the supreme beings who stand proudly in the sea of stars, resist?
"Shangguan Hongzhi, you colluded with Bai Luo, intending to kill the four fellow Daoists, today I must make you pay a painful price!" Just as everyone sighed, they suddenly heard Huang Ji shouting coldly at Shangguan Hongzhi above the sky. Although Bai Luo has been killed by Mr., the mountain official Hongzhi is still there.
"Huang Ji, this time I planted it, but do you think that with your cultivation, you can leave our father and son behind? Mr. is the guardian of the Northern Regions, and his duty is to protect the safety of one party, and our Tianxuanmen and your Huang Xin Pavilion belong to the internal dispute of the four gates, and Mr. will naturally not interfere. Without Mr.'s help, do you think you are somewhat sure that you can defeat me!" Hearing Huang Ji's scolding, Shangguan Hongzhi shot back coldly. In order to prevent Mr. from intervening, Shangguan Hongzhi first buttoned down a hat and gagged Mr. He didn't expect Bai Luo to be so vulnerable, so he could only survive on his own.
Hearing Shangguan Hongzhi's words, Mr. frowned slightly. In fact, in the final analysis, this matter is indeed an internal dispute between the four gates, and Mr. is the guardian of the Northern Regions, so there is really no reason to meddle in the grievances between them. However, Shangguan Hongzhi is insidious and cunning, and this person is by no means a good person. Thinking of this, the gentleman spoke: "Shangguan Hongzhi, you are right, I really shouldn't interfere in the affairs between you, but if you want to restrain me as my guardian, I'm afraid it won't be enough. We all know your personality clearly, and for people like you, the best way is to attack strongly, rather than conniving and raising tigers for trouble. ”
After the gentleman finished speaking, he suddenly raised his palm and slapped Shangguan Hongzhi. How can Mr.'s cultivation be beyond the reach of Shangguan Hongzhi, when Mr. made a move, a trace of despair flashed in Shangguan Hongzhi's eyes, he wanted to take Shangguan Rui away, but found that he had been firmly locked by Mr.'s qi and could not break free.
After feeling the despair, Shangguan Hongzhi immediately knelt down and begged for his husband: "Sir, it is my desire for profit and my bad intentions. I know it's wrong, and I hope that my husband will spare my life and give me a way out. I promise that I will never have bad thoughts about Huang Xinge and Xuan Miaoan again in this life. ”
Shangguan Hongzhi's face changed so fast that Ling Yu and the others were stunned for a while. When I saw Shangguan Hongzhi's righteous words before, I thought he would rather die than give in? Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, he knelt in the void and begged for forgiveness. It seems that no one can remain brave in the face of life and death, not even the Supreme.
Seeing Shangguan Hongzhi's sobbing pleading, Mr.'s palm was stunned, but in the end it swept towards Shangguan Hongzhi. In front of Mr., Shangguan Hongzhi was as weak as an ant. Under the blow of the gentleman, Shangguan Hongzhi spurted blood, and although he did not die, he was also seriously injured.
"Shangguan Hongzhi, I spared your life today, not because I am a guardian, but because people like you are not worthy of soiling my hands. If there is a next time, I will let you fall into reincarnation forever and suffer the torment of hell. Get out!" Mr. glanced at Shangguan Hongzhi lightly and said coldly.
Hearing Mr.'s words, Shangguan Hongzhi was on the verge of amnesty, he was like a lost dog, and he took Shangguan Rui to run away for his life. As for the Tianxuanmen disciples under him, they were thrown by him in the Huang Xin Pavilion.
Mr. looked at Shangguan Hongzhi's fleeing back, turned his head to look at Wu Dao, and said with a smile: "I admit that I was a little blindsided before, but I didn't expect that you were still the usher!"
