Chapter 1118: The Truth of the Ancient Land

So, after listening to the nine-colored deer's story, spiders, butterflies, sacred cows, dragons and other powerful creatures shrouded in blood-colored red rays have acquiesced to the nine-colored deer's approach, they know that the nine-colored deer is the master demon clan guarding the soul washing pool, and is the leader among them. Now even the nine-colored deer has great trust in that Huaxia cultivator, and they naturally choose to help Huaxia and no longer embarrass Ling Yu. It's not that they believe in the Huaxia cultivator who caused trouble, but because they believe in the nine-colored deer. The vast land of Haogu is vast, although the stone tablet is an ominous thing in the entire Kunlun realm, but in the land of Haogu, the words of the nine-colored deer are the golden rule, which is undoubted. Back then, the stele was originally a sacred object in the vast ancient land, if it hadn't happened later, I'm afraid that the stele would have been enshrined on the holy mountain of the Kunlun realm, how could it be thrown into the wilderness and no one cared about, or even rejected by the living beings?

When several demon clan powers who lived in seclusion in the Kunlun realm were talking to each other, the blood-colored light in the sky became more and more intense, as if the sky was about to rain blood due to the red light. Several demon beasts discussed their next countermeasures with each other, and their voices were very loud, but because these wild beasts were too powerful, even if they talked loudly, their voices were not heard by others. These demon clans were all peerless powerhouses in the Silent Ancient Land, and it would be easy for them to avoid the ears of Ling Yu and the others. Therefore, Ling Yu and the others standing under the stone tablet had no idea what was going on.

This stele was once known as a sacred relic in the Kunlun realm, but what happened later was too weird to make this stele regarded as a bad thing. Although it seems to have been discarded in the Kunlun Realm, in fact, many terrifying magic circles have already been planted near the stone tablet to suppress the anger in the stone tablet. You two are stunned, the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and under impulse, he inadvertently broke the magic circle that sealed the stone tablet. It seems that this is the will of heaven, and it is also your calamity!" At this moment, the power in the red light awakened the Heavenly Spirit Bead, and he frowned and sighed.

"Don't scare me, old thing. Isn't it just an ordinary stone stele? Why is it still involved in holy relics and hoodoos? Besides, the cultivation of the two of us can only be prey here, if there is really any terrifying formation near the stone stele, how can it be so easily cracked by us?" Although Ling Yu also had a premonition of the seriousness of the matter, there was still a trace of luck in his heart, hoping that there was still room for redemption in all this. Moreover, he also felt very strange, if it was really as Tianlingzhu said, there was a magic circle near the stone tablet, it should not be broken by him and Yushi Tianxin.

"Hmph, you're talking lightly. Tell you, this vast ancient land has always been a paradise for savage beasts, so after that incident happened back then, in order to prevent some terrifying demon beasts that have not yet opened their spiritual wisdom but have cultivated to the heavens from inadvertently touching the prohibition, so the rulers of the vast ancient land laid out a formation, intending to seal the stone tablet. But they are all demon clans, and there have never been few human races in the vast ancient land that can set foot here, even if there are occasional human races, they also know the prohibition of the Kunlun realm, and they will not be disrespectful to the stone tablet. Therefore, the magic circle here is specially designed to deal with the demon clan! Naturally, there will be no hostile intent to kill you. The kid named Yushi Tianxin before also mentioned the Twelve Realms of the Heavens to you, and it is rumored that this Kunlun Realm has a great relationship with the Twelve Realms of the Heavens. Now judging from the majesty emanating from the stone stele, maybe that rumor is true!" Tianlingzhu shook his head and said with a straight face.

"You old fellow, why are you still talking more and more outrageous! The Twelve Realms of the Heavens are above the Ten Thousand Paths of the Sea of Stars, what does it have to do with the Kunlun Realm!" Tian Lingzhu's words made Ling Yu confused. However, when he saw Tianlingzhu's solemn expression, he couldn't help but get nervous, and muttered in his heart.

"Boy, don't you pretend to be crazy and stupid there. Do you think I don't know the reason why you dug up the dirt under the stele?If you don't have doubts about the words on the stele, how can you dig deep when you know that it might be dangerous?"

"This ......" Hearing that Tianlingzhu actually guessed what he was thinking, Ling Yu looked at him left and right, hiding the embarrassment in his heart. To be honest, Ling Yu was indeed curious about the buried characters on the stone stele, so he and Yu Shitianxin risked the danger of touching the prohibition to dig up the soil under the stele to explore the buried truth. And after Ling Yu heard Tianlingzhu's words, he suddenly seemed to remember something. His eyes were full of excitement, and he suddenly asked Tianlingzhu: "Old fellow, since you have guessed my purpose, and you are so clear about the past of the stele, do you know the truth of the stele? Or do you know what the words under the stele are that are obscured by the dirt?" Ling Yu was already extremely curious about the ancient stele, and the Tianlingzhu happened to know what this mysterious stele was. Therefore, Ling Yu's curiosity was hooked again.

"Of course I do, because the words on this stele are the original name of the Great Ancient Land. If you dig deeper just now, you should see two other words hidden by the dirt. But I don't know what those two words are. To be precise, I can only guess that the last word is boundary, but I don't know the third word. Because in distant legends, the vast ancient land is indeed one of the twelve realms of the heavens, but I don't know whether this is the first divine realm, the first realm, the first desire realm, or the first mortal realm. Tianlingzhu looked at Ling Yu and spoke eloquently......

It turned out that when the Pangu Divine Venerable had not yet opened the heavens and the earth, there were legends of the twelve worlds of the heavens and the earth. At that time, there were not really as many Twelve Realms as the Twelve Realms, because in the Hongmeng era, the Twelve Realms of the Heavens were only created in five places, that is, the Five Realms of the Heavens. Later, after the Pangu Divine Venerable split the chaos and finally Xianyou, those creation gods who had already dominated the sea of stars in the Hongmeng era completed the remaining seven realms, and finally became the twelve worlds of the heavens, that is, the twelve heavens. However, at that time, the sea of stars was surging, and all the ways were contending, and except for the only few creation gods, no one knew where the twelve realms of the heavens were. The Twelve Heavens are like treasures entangled in the sleep of the powerhouses of the Star Sea, making them think about it and sleep at night. Therefore, someone came up with the idea of searching for the Twelve Heavens. They know that it is a great blessing for them to have a chance against the heavens in the twelve worlds of the heavens.

As a result, countless powerful people secretly formed alliances, looking for clues about the Twelve Realms of the Heavens day and night. However, the vast sea of stars is more than ten thousand. Not to mention the boundless region in the sea of stars, even the stars are billions, and their search for twelve mysterious places in such a vast space is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. Therefore, after these people had been searching for hundreds of thousands of years, someone had finally exhausted all their patience and withdrew from the alliance to find the Twelve Realms of the Heavens. Moreover, as time went by, more and more people thought that the Twelve Heavens were just a tempting deception, but they did not exist. The people who first put forward this idea did not make much of a storm, but as more and more strong people gave up searching for the Twelve Realms of the Heavens, the voices of doubt became louder and louder, and the original alliance of hundreds of thousands of strong people gradually weakened, and in the end, less than twenty people were still firm, and the others had already given up.

But just when the remaining dozen or so people were about to dispel the idea of searching for the Twelve Realms of the Heavens, a sudden catastrophe completely broke the existing pattern. It was precisely because of that catastrophe that the Twelve Realms of the Heavens also appeared in people's eyes for the first time. At that time, Huaxia dominated the sea of stars, and it was the master of the sea of stars. On that day, endless demons suddenly poured out from all over the sea of stars, and they flocked to the four stars and ancient lands in the sea of stars as if they were crazy. In the beginning, people saw the invasion of demons, so they tried their best to resist. However, when the powerhouse of the Star Sea fought with the demons, he suddenly discovered a very strange phenomenon. What those demons were infesting was not an ordinary ancient land or star, but a powerful star or dao system that ruled all paths in the sea of stars. The power of the demon clan is extremely powerful, but in front of those four ancient lands, there is no way to break through it. As soon as this phenomenon appeared, the truth also emerged.

When the four ancient lands and stars were fighting against the demons, the strong people in those stars and ancient lands cultivated and did not fall behind at all. Three days after the battle, four stone tablets were raised on the ancient lands and stars. And the four stone tablets have four different names written on them: the First Divine Realm, the First Dao Realm, the First Desire Realm, and the First Mortal Realm. It's just that the divine light that permeated the four stone tablets was too dazzling, so that as soon as the eyes of the Xinghai powerhouse touched those sixteen words, his eyes bleeded and he was seriously injured. When the four stone tablets appeared, the demons became even more agitated, as if their purpose was the four stone tablets, as well as the four ancient lands and stars. As a result, the originally very anxious battle situation became more intense because of the manifestation of the four stone tablets. In that battle, at least 100,000 stars were shattered, and countless strong people died in the sea of stars. And after that battle, the four stone tablets were also regarded as hoodoos.

Hearing Tianlingzhu's explanation, Ling Yu frowned slightly, and asked puzzledly: "Isn't this reason a bit too far-fetched?" The four stone tablets are the proof of the four realms, if there is no demon invasion, then the four stone tablets should be enshrined holy relics." Even in the Twelve Realms of the Heavens, they would feel that the four stone tablets were the glory of the Twelve Heavens, how could they regard the four stone tablets as ominous things because of the invasion of the demon race?" Ling Yu felt that the strong people in the sea of stars at that time were a little unreasonable, if the world was peaceful, they would be able to rely on the four stone tablets to dominate the sea of stars, and accept the worship of all races with peace of mind. But when the catastrophe happened, they turned against each other and avoided the four stone tablets that had been worshiped as treasures before, which is a bit too realistic, right? Moreover, the four stone tablets were unconscious dead things, and it was not only ridiculous for them to do so, but also a hint of self-deception.

"Boy, this shows that you have experienced too little, and you still don't know enough about people's hearts. When people's own interests are damaged, they tend to attribute everything to others or external objects, even if the four steles were once a symbol of their glory, even if the four steles are only dead and have no spiritual thoughts of their own, they will pour out all their resentment on the steles. In other words, if the stele gives them glory, then the stele is a holy thing, but if one day the stele is coveted by others, thus affecting their interests, then the stele becomes a bad thing, whether you say that the stele is a scapegoat, whether it is a despicable person's heart, in short, this is the truth. As outsiders, we know what is right and what is wrong, but in that case, it seems that the right thing to do is to blame others. Tian Lingzhu looked at Ling Yu with a smile, a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes, and he said with a sigh.

"That'...... What about later? When the stone tablet was manifested, were the cultivators of the demon clan repulsed? Or were there several heavens that were destroyed by the demon race? Listening to your words, it seems that Huaxia is also one of the twelve heavens?" Ling Yu was noncommittal to the exclamation of the Heavenly Spirit Bead, he shook his head and asked again.

"After the stone tablet manifested, the four ancient lands and stars seemed to be activated with some kind of mysterious power, and with the blessing of that power, the demons were defeated and finally forced away. And the Huaxia Continent is indeed one of the twelve realms of the heavens, but I don't know if it is the first god realm, the first realm, the first desire realm or the first mortal realm. Because after the demons retreated, although people remembered the four steles and remembered the invasion of the demons, they couldn't remember where the four steles belonged anyway. Tian Lingzhu looked at the blood-colored stone tablet in front of him that was stained with red light with the help of Ling Yu's eyes, and said.

Hearing the words of the Heavenly Spirit Bead, Ling Yu's heart moved, and he suddenly realized that perhaps when the Demon Race invaded the Star Sea before, everyone had underestimated the four mysterious stone tablets. Just imagine, if the stele is really a dead thing without spiritual thoughts, how can it activate some kind of mysterious power to help the strong people of the Star Sea force the demons to retreat? Perhaps the people at that time were frightened by the demons and forgot to calm down and think about what happened, so they lost their calm heart when they accidentally hit and defended their own interests. In retrospect, it seems that it all had to do with the four stone monuments, which are not only not hoodoos, but treasures in the sea of stars. Otherwise, the demon clan would not have raised their clan to infest the sea of stars, and their purpose should not only be for the twelve realms of the heavens, but also for the twelve stone tablets representing the glory of the heavens. But it's a pity that because of the selfishness of those strong people at that time, they threw away the opportunities that were at their fingertips.

Thinking of this, Ling Yu remembered the deep meaning behind this matter again, and asked the Heavenly Spirit Bead: "I'm very curious, how did those demons know about the Twelve Realms of the Heavens? The Demon Race is different from the Exotic, the Exotic Land is only a subordinate place of Huaxia, although it is also very mysterious in the Sea of Stars, but it is far inferior to the Demon Race. And the demon clan is an existence that all the powerhouses of the Star Sea are afraid of. They are secretive and rarely come out, but in this matter they are unusual. Don't you think there seems to be some kind of conspiracy in this? Since they dared to blatantly intrude on the Xinghai, they obviously came prepared. Moreover, they could clearly find the location of the First Divine Realm, the First Dao Realm, the First Desire Realm, and the First Mortal Realm, which showed that they had made all preparations before manifesting the Star Sea. So, who is it that reveals the affairs of the Twelve Realms of the Heavens, or...... What about the one who told the demon cultivators?"

For Ling Yu's question, Tianlingzhu pondered for a long time, he didn't know how to answer. In fact, he was also skeptical. But he knew that some things were so dark that even he, a Chaos Artifact, could not imagine. Although he did guess a clue, he had no way to say it to Ling Yu. It wasn't that he was worried that some prohibitions would be touched, but because he couldn't bear to tell Ling Yu the cruelest and most terrible truth in the world. The demons infested the sea of stars, and they were able to accurately find the twelve realms of the heavens, which was obviously bewitched by people, and the person who bewitched them was very likely to be the peerless powerhouse in this sea of stars.

So, after hearing Ling Yu's inquiry. Tianlingzhu shook his head, he looked into the distance, and his eyes were filled with a wisp of unbearability and loss. After a long time, he finally came back to his senses and sighed to Ling Yu: "Boy, you are a smart person, and some truths that have been buried by time can only be understood, but not spoken. No matter what has happened in this sea of stars, and whether or not anyone has committed a heinous and despicable act, we cannot delve into it. Many truths have long been annihilated in the torrent of time, even if we sweep away the dust and sand that they cover on the surface and find out the truth, what can we do?"

Regarding the deliberate avoidance of the Heavenly Spirit Bead, Ling Yu had no choice but to put away the speculation in his heart. He knew that many things were indeed as Tian Lingzhu said, and the more he knew, the more troubles he would have. Ling Yu thought for a moment and said to the Heavenly Spirit Bead: "If Huaxia is also one of the Twelve Heavens, then why hasn't it been mentioned? Many years have passed since that incident, and Huaxia is no longer the ancestor of the Ten Thousand Stars who was in charge of the Ten Thousand Heavens of the Star Sea back then, but it is an indisputable fact that Huaxia was once one of the Twelve Heavens. If Huaxia spreads all over the Star Sea for the Twelve Realms of the Heavens, I'm afraid no one will dare to covet Huaxia's opportunity, right?"

Again, because of selfishness. Ever since that incident, everyone has regarded the Twelve Heavens as a place of foreboding. If you were burdened with such infamy, would you still take the initiative to admit that your homeland was the once enviable Twelve Heavens?"

Seeing the sadness in Ling Yu's eyes, Tianlingzhu continued to explain: "Back then, after the demon clan was repulsed, one of the stone tablets that appeared in the sea of stars flew back to the Huaxia Ancestral Star and landed in the Kunlun realm. Looking at the stone tablet that led to the invasion of the demons and now returned to Huaxia again, those old guys actually did something extremely resentful, they actually sealed this stone tablet in the vast ancient land. Moreover, they set up a terrifying array of ninety-nine eighty-one here, intending to trap the stele here completely. It's also strange to say that when the stele was sealed by those old guys who didn't know what to do, the status of Huaxia, as the ancestor of all stars, plummeted, and the scenery was no longer there. What's even more bizarre is that in the three years since the stele was sealed, the seven old men who participated in the sealing have died one after another. They have either experienced the five decays of heaven and man, or they have gone mad. In short, none of these seven people will have a good death. ”

"Unexpectedly, among the strongest people in China, there are also despicable people, who blame all their anger on the stone tablet for their own vanity, which is simply ridiculous. Although they died a strange death, they also deserved it. Ling Yu sneered, not having a trace of sympathy for the seven old Chinese men.

It is precisely because of the strange fall of the seven old men that the stele is considered a bad thing, and it is even more conclusive. Later, the Kunlun realm was controlled by the Queen Mother of the West, and she knew what a despicable act the ancestors of China had done, so she had been telling the descendants that if there was no very important matter, they could not enter the Kunlun realm in the vast ancient land. The purpose is not to want the history buried by time to be mentioned again, nor do it want the Chinese people to disturb the quaint stone monument that has been silent for endless years. However, I don't think the Holy Emperor of the Western Queen Mother never dreamed that after the endless years when she laid down the decree, not only did someone sneak into the Kunlun realm again, but also accidentally unlocked the ban on the stone tablet. The stele has been sealed for so many years, and there has long been endless resentment in it. And your actions with the Imperial Heavenly Heart today are obviously a big disaster. Tian Lingzhu shook his head and said to Ling Yu.

After the Heavenly Spirit Bead sighed, Ling Yu also sighed, and touched his nose helplessly, not knowing how to take the words of the Heavenly Spirit Bead. He knew that what Tianlingzhu said was right, if he hadn't been so reckless today, maybe the stone tablet would continue to be silent. But because of his curiosity, everything was disrupted. As one of the twelve realms of the heavens, even if it has long since faded out of the eyes of the world, the power of the divine realm still exists. Now that the stele is bloody, who knows what will happen next, whether it will alarm someone, trigger any ban, or ...... Attract the attention of the demons again?

Seeing the look of worry in Ling Yu's eyes, Tian Lingzhu shook his head helplessly, and whispered to Ling Yu: "Boy, today's events have indeed exceeded our expectations, but the wood is already in the boat, and it is useless to regret it." So, now that it's happened, instead of blaming ourselves, we should think about how we can make amends. The stele has been sealed for so long, and the aura in the stele must have been condensed to the extreme. If you want to seal it again, not only do you not have that strength, even if you cultivate to the sky, if you want to seal the stone tablet again, I'm afraid it will backfire and be eaten by the stone tablet!"

Seeing that Ling Yu was still at a loss, Tianlingzhu continued: "As the saying goes, it's better to be blocked than to be sparse, so in my opinion, if you want to dissolve the blood-colored evil qi in the sky, you must find a way to make the stone tablet export the evil qi in it. Only in this way may you have a glimmer of life and can save the situation. ”

While Tianlingzhu and Ling Yu were discussing countermeasures, at the same time, the nine-colored deer near the Soul Washing Pool finally nodded, and it seemed that he had also reached a consensus with the powerful barbarian demon beasts such as Jiaolong, Divine Cow, Snow Eagle, and Spider. The thoughts of the Nine-Colored Deer and the Heavenly Spirit Bead coincide, because although the Nine-Colored Deer is one of the guardian beasts of the Vast Ancient Land, he is not qualified, let alone has the strength to reseal the stone tablet. Therefore, the only thing he can do is to try to dispel the anger in the stele, even though he knows that if he intersects with the stele, it will likely be contaminated with ominousness, but he has no way out.

"Listen, this time the butterfly and I went to the place where the stone tablet was sealed. You, on the other hand, stay here and wait for us to come back. When we get there, the butterflies protect me, and if I can dispel the anger of the stele, everything will be fine. If you can't dissolve your anger......" Speaking of this, the nine-colored deer gritted his teeth violently, and there was a look of determination in his eyes. After a long time, he continued: "If I can't dissolve the anger in the stone tablet, then the butterfly will collect the body for me." Remember, if I can't defuse my anger, you must not try again, and leave as much as you can. ”

When the nine-colored deer finished speaking, he looked at Ling Yu who seemed to have lost his mind under the stone tablet, and said to Jiaolong and other barbarian demon beasts again: "No matter what the result is this time, you can't be unfavorable to that Huaxia boy. Because I still haven't told you one more thing, that Huaxia cultivator is actually a person of Heavenly Inheritance in this world!"
