Chapter 654: The Secret of the Ancient Gods (Final Chapter of this Volume)
"Senior... Time is precious, so why make such jokes. Ye Xiao was helpless in the face of the mysterious old man in front of him, he was tricked by him but he didn't dare to complain at all.
"Why, I've been waiting for you here for 10,000 years without complaining. The old man looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Your cultivation has been sufficient so far, but you lack one thing. β
"What is it?" Ye Xiao was confused.
"Courage!" the old man continued, "you know that you can't catch fish without hooks and bait, and you have personally gone into the water to see that there are no fish in this lake. But you still chose to accompany me for ten days to be stupid, because you think that this place must be a hidden mystery in the inheritance of the ancient gods. The courage to believe in authority, but not to question, has wasted a long time in vain. Remember, you have to dare to trust your own judgment later. β
Ye Xiao nodded, indicating that he had been taught.
"I see that the power in your body is neither life, nor death, nor spirit, but it is constantly devouring your own longevity, but the level of this power is extremely high, and it should not belong to the universe of gods and demons. Do you have any other chances?" asked the old man.
"I practiced the Sword of Death, which is the way of life to death, not the way of eternal life. Ye Xiao explained.
"Hehehehe, born to die, yes, yes, it's time to live to die. If only all the old gods understood this, our power does not come from ourselves, and no one can live forever. Therefore, some of the ancient gods indulged in it after seeing the way of immortality in the gods and demons universe again, and chose to pursue eternal life. This led to a great reduction in the internal division and strength of the ancient gods, so that the villains had a chance to take advantage of us. The weak are directly destroyed, and the strongest are sealed. The old man sighed.
"What should the predecessors call and what is the matter with the ancient gods, and what is the inheritance of this ancient temple?" Ye Xiao hurriedly asked, the old man in front of him seemed to know the answer to everything.
The old man looked at Ye Xiao with deep eyes, "Some questions are indeed time to tell you now, and some are not yet time." β
"With the name of the incarnation on Earth, you should call me Zhuang Zhou. I am a real person in Nanhua in the fairy world, and I founded Xiaoyao Cave Heaven, one of the four major caves of Taoism. The old man continued: "The ancient gods all came from the primordial universe, when the primordial universe was invaded by the Heavenly Demon Temple, and encountered the four catastrophes of earth, fire, water, and wind, and the entire universe was swept away. All kinds of advanced civilizations have completely disappeared, leaving only the seed of civilization in the distant galaxy - Earth. It was one of His testing grounds, and so it was preserved. Countless ancient gods have come to earth in the form of divine thoughts to find the purpose of his experiments, but they have not succeeded. Later, a great power opened up the divine realm and connected the gods and demons universe with the primordial universe, and we found this supernatural place, and all of them moved over. The laws of the universe here are not the same as those of the primordial universe, but they are also the target of the Heavenly Demon Temple's attack. Not everyone in the Gods and Demons Universe welcomes us, and some even think that it is because of our relationship that the Heavenly Demon Temple will attack the Gods and Demons Universe. In order to eliminate misunderstandings and ease relations, in the battle against the Heavenly Demons, the Ancient Gods went all out, and as a result, countless strong people fell, but they retained the power of the Gods and Demons Universe. The Heavenly Dao Will of the Gods and Demon Universe was not only grateful, but secretly murdered. It knew that the sacrifices of the ancient gods were widely known, and it was not good to destroy us who rebelled against the Heavenly Demon Temple with great fanfare, so it secretly supported a mysterious world called the Tomb Realm. The creatures of the Tomb Realm never participate in the cosmic conflict between gods and demons, and the purpose of their existence is to hunt the ancient gods. β
Ye Xiao was even more puzzled when he heard these ancient secrets, he had also seen the creature in the tomb world, that is, the terrifying golden skeleton. But what is the Heavenly Dao will of the gods and demons universe, and why does it have to get along with the ancient gods?
As if seeing Ye Xiao's confusion, the old man continued to explain: "The Heavenly Dao Will of the Gods and Demons Universe has long had its own personality, and it is not an ethereal and illusory existence. β
"What, are you saying that the Heavenly Dao already has a personality?" Ye Xiao said in surprise.
"That's right, the cosmic spirit of the gods and demons universe is the will of the Heavenly Dao, in fact, this universe can be regarded as a space magic weapon, it still relies on the world of the primordial universe. The Heavenly Dao Will is the instrument spirit of this magic weapon, and it already has its own personality. As for why it has to get along with us, it's because ...... The creatures in the gods and demons universe have no possibility of breaking through the true god, and there is no possibility of refining it, but the ancient gods are different, the Dao gods above the true gods have the possibility of refining this world to make it surrender. He obviously didn't like having an extra master, so he killed the old gods in an attempt to cut off this possibility. The old man explained.
"There is even a Dao God above the true god? You say that this god and demon universe is actually equivalent to a magic weapon, could it be forged by the Dao god? Strictly speaking, I am not a person from the god and demon universe, and I am counted among the ancient gods, and there is also the possibility of breaking through the Dao god, so the Heavenly Dao will choose to target me?" Ye Xiao only understood this at this moment, but shouldn't it be very simple for the Heavenly Dao will to kill him?
The old man continued: "Don't worry, to put it bluntly, the will of the Heavenly Dao is just the instrument spirit of the magic weapon of the gods and demons universe, and it is not as powerful as you think. There are also many great powers among the ancient gods, and it has to use all its strength just to suppress these powers, and it is impossible to have the spare strength to deal with you, it can only destroy you through other means, not to mention that there is also the Heavenly Demon Palace. β
Ye Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, what kind of son of Heavenly Dao may be the means to support the will of Heavenly Dao to destroy himself.
"We are not sitting still, the ancient gods led by the Fu Xi clan have left behind them with the power of the Heavenly Calculation, and this is the eight inheritance halls prepared for you. But fate is unpredictable, even the Fuxi clan can't accurately predict the future, these eight inheritance halls can be used as an opportunity to improve your strength, but you definitely can't rely on it completely. What's more, the most important Qiantian Temple has been cracked by the Heavenly Dao, and it has been transformed into the Emperor's Heavenly Treasure House, becoming the opportunity of the Son of the Heavenly Dao. The old man sighed.
Ye Xiao was hurt when she heard this, the Qiantian Temple, which was originally her own, was actually hijacked by the Heavenly Dao and became the son of the Heavenly Dao? The things left to me by the ancient gods were actually stolen by the Heavenly Dao to deal with me? No wonder the Qiangua has been on him, but he has never reacted at all.
"You don't have to worry, the things in the other seven halls are completely enough to help you become a god, but the path after becoming a god is only up to you. The old man encouraged.
"Senior, why did the ancient gods choose me, and even if I become a god, how can I save the other ancient gods?" Ye Xiao was most puzzled by this question.
The old man smiled and didn't answer, but said: "The crow still has the intention of feeding, there is no more suitable person than you in the world, you will naturally know in the future." β
Seeing that the old man didn't say anything, Ye Xiao didn't ask any more, pointed to the water of this lake and asked: "Senior, what is the inheritance of this Kanshui Palace, could it be this lake water?"
The old man shook his head and pointed at himself, "Of course it's me! The inheritance of the Kanshui Temple is meaningless to you now, and your cultivation has reached a sufficient level before I will come forward to solve your doubts and tell you a secret at the same time." β
"What's the secret?" Ye Xiao asked excitedly.
"The Bagua Key is not just the key to unlock the Eight Great Halls of Inheritance, it is an innate treasure in itself! The old man pointed his finger at Ye Xiao's eyebrows, and some information instantly entered Ye Xiao's mind, and he immediately knew the way to lift the seal of the Bagua Key.
"I must have reached the Hall of Inheritance to lift the seal, which means that I can now lift the seals of the Genshan Hexagram, the Lihuo Hexagram, the Xunfeng Hexagram, and the Kanshui Hexagram. Ye Xiao took out the four keys and immediately lifted the seals one by one according to the method taught by the old man. All kinds of mysterious powers spread from the four hexagrams, and Ye Xiao's heart rippled. With their own strength, it will go to the next level.
"I feel a familiar power in you, have you practiced the exercises of the Origin Demon Venerable?" the old man looked at Ye Xiao and said suspiciously.
"Yuan Shi Demon Venerable?" Ye Xiao shook his head, "I'm afraid that the only one I practice with a magic word is the Sword Sound Demon Book." β
"Sword Sound Magic Book? The old man said curiously.
Ye Xiao nodded, summoned eighty-one flying swords, formed a sword formation, and then performed the star movement.
"Rhythm Attack? It turned out to be the Origin Demon Venerable's "Demon Source Fluctuation Sword", when did it change its name to "Sword Sound Demon Classic"?" the old man shook his head, "I fought side by side with the Origin Demon Venerable during the confrontation with the Heavenly Demon Palace, and I am very familiar with his 'Demon Source Fluctuation Sword', you are practicing in the wrong direction." The Origin Demon Venerable later fell, but left behind a secret treasure called 'Huihai Secret', perhaps the inheritance of this "Demon Source Fluctuation Sword" is related to this secret treasure. It makes sense to say that it was renamed "Sword Sound Magic Book". The old man is gone, but my old thing is immortal. β
"Senior, could it be that your deity has also been suppressed by the will of the Heavenly Dao?" Ye Xiao asked.
The old man nodded, "That's right, because of the relationship between the Loose Divine Dao, I ran away from a wisp of soul thoughts and hid here, also to be your guide to solve your doubts." I know a thing or two about this "Demon Source Fluctuation Sword", I can point to you, maybe in the future you can also obtain the secret treasure of the Origin Demon Venerable. That guy is incredibly powerful, and the first person in the Demon Dao is extraordinary. You must know that there are six layers in the Heavenly Demon Palace, the first layer is the Slaughtering Heaven, the Slaughtering Heavenly Demon is murderous, and the meaning of existence is to slaughter living beings; the second layer is the Annihilation Heaven, which can change the heavens and the earth and annihilate matter; the third layer is the Silent Heaven, which can extinguish the stars and devour the light source and extinguish the energy; the fourth layer is the Annihilation Heaven, which can erase civilization, annihilate the spiritual wisdom, and cannot be prevented; the fifth layer is the Void Heaven, and the Void Heavenly Demon can ignore the law and destroy the law; as for the Eternal Heaven of the sixth layer, no one has ever seen it, only heard the teacher mention it, and only the first five layers of the Heavenly Demon have destroyed the primordial universe to the current stateγ The Origin Demon Venerable once single-handedly killed the Four Great Heavenly Demons, forcing the Void Heavenly Demon to appear, which can be described as shocking the past and the present. Even the Heavenly Dao Will never dared to force him to do something, and you should not miss his secrets. β
Ye Xiao heard a lot of secrets today, and he couldn't digest them for a while. Fortunately, now he only needs to re-cultivate the "Sword Sound Demon Codex" under the guidance of the old man, and the real name of this magic skill is the "Demon Source Fluctuation Sword" of the Yuan Shi Demon Venerable.
ββββββββββββββββ
Unconsciously, half a year passed quietly, and Ye Xiao's hair grew a lot. He stood on the surface of the lake, the soles of his feet rippled in circles, only to see him take out the Kanshui hexagram and press it into the extra hole under the sword grid of the silver fangtianwei sword in his hand, and the power of the Kanshui hexagram instantly spread to the sword body.
"Demon Source Fluctuation Sword, Water Shape!" A sword stabbed out, and a vortex centered on the tip of the sword formed in the air, and everything around it was swept into the void at the center of the vortex. took off the Kanshui hexagram, and Ye Xiao replaced it with the Genshan hexagram.
"Demon Source Fluctuation Sword, the shape of a mountain!" A sword stabbed out, and a crystalline yellow earthen wall appeared in the shape of a high mountain, which seemed to be able to block all attacks in the world.
"Demon Source Fluctuation Sword, Wind Shape!" A sword stabbed out, silently, but countless spatial cracks shattered in front of Ye Xiao's body, and the enemy only felt the breeze blowing, but it was the two ends of the body.
"Demon Source Fluctuation Sword, Fire Shape!" A sword stabbed out, and hundreds of golden crows were born from the tip of the sword, flying forward, and the terrifying flames seemed to be able to burn everything.
