The white-haired boy's words continued.

“…… You intend to weaken Taishang Haotian's control over the Great Wilderness, so you came up with such a plan to let Emperor Wuzong of Great Chu break the Tongtian Steps at the cost of his life, so that Taishang Haotian can no longer easily send people to the Nether Realm.

Taishang Haotian was angry about this, but in a short period of time, he didn't have the ability to repair the Tongtian Steps. Therefore, he handed over the 'Tai'a Sword' and the authority to manipulate the Heavenly Tribulation to the Great Qi Taizu, and with the help of the power of the lackeys of the Great Qi royal family, he ruled the Great Wilderness......"

Another picture quickly popped up in Gu Xu's mind.

He came to a wilderness hundreds of miles away from Kunlun, and saw Chu Wuzong Xiong Tianxi hunting in rags and saying goodbye to him with pride, not caring if his trip would be gone. Luo Chuan handed over the liquor he practiced beside him, and the rich aroma of the wine seemed to linger on the tip of his nose, which was real and lingered for a long time.

"Am I really the kind of person who would let my subordinates die for the sake of my own great cause?" Thinking like this, Gu Xu felt that his head hurt even more.

"Since Emperor Ziwei had the ability to lay out such a big picture hundreds of years ago," after a brief silence, he asked the white-haired boy, "Then why did he want to be reincarnated and reborn?" ”

"At that time, you were just like an ingot, just a wisp of remnant soul," the white-haired boy replied, "If you don't have a physical body of your own, then your cultivation will never be able to go any further, and your ability to comprehend the Great Dao will be a little weaker than that of ordinary monks." ”

"Then why go to Earth...... Are there any other worldly tribulation cultivations? ”

"In order to explore the origin of the world, we are looking for a way to step into the 'return to the ruins'."

The explanations given by the white-haired boy sounded reasonable.

Gu Xu felt that he was almost completely convinced—or rather, he really felt that he had come up with these ideas a long time ago.

Before he knew it, he had killed more than a dozen demon beasts and came to the halfway point of Kunlun.

At this time, Kunlun finally unveiled the mystery and showed him the true face of the "Great Wilderness Divine Mountain".

It is full of strange flowers and trees, such as Wenyu tree, Yuqi tree, Langji tree, Bishu, Yao tree, etc. The fruits of these trees are all pearls and jade, and it is said that they are exclusively for the phoenix.

There is a big tree-like rice tree, called "Muhe", up to five fathoms, the thickness of which requires five people to hug. It grows rice on its own without sowing seeds every year.

Next to Mu He is a begonia tree, which blooms with red flowers and bears yellow fruits like plums, but it is seedless and very convenient to eat. After eating the begonia fruit, people can float across the ocean and not drown in the water.

There is also a kind of herb that tastes like green onions, and after eating, it can eliminate sorrow.

And the springs flowing in the mountains are nothing short of extraordinary.

It is called "Risen", and it is surrounded by flowers, and the water is sweet and fragrant, like wine.

But Gu Xu's mind was full of thoughts about the "astrolabe", thinking about what the white-haired young man said, and he didn't have the heart to take anything away from here at all.

I don't know how long it took, but he finally came to the peak of Kunlun Mountain.

Surprisingly, on the top of Kunlun, which is full of cliffs, there will be a large area of relatively flat open space.

"This used to be Tianyun City, a checkpoint town between the upper and lower realms," the white-haired boy introduced, "Taishang Haotian sent his subordinate 'Lu Wu' to guard here. Lu Wu is a half-human, half-beast monster with a human face, a body like a tiger, and nine tails.

"Hundreds of years ago, Chu Wuzong slashed it to death with a sword, and by the way, uprooted the entire Tianyun City together."

Gu Xu looked down at the smooth and flat ground.

He couldn't imagine what kind of amazing power it was to completely destroy a legendary "city of immortals" without leaving a trace.

Suddenly, he felt the astrolabe placed in the "Idle Cloud Dwelling" begin to vibrate violently and uncontrollably.

With a thought, he took it out.

The astrolabe shimmered with dazzling light, floating into the air, and flying forward at a rapid pace.

Gu Xu showed his body technique and followed closely.

He knew that the astrolabe had sensed the location of the last fragment. It can't wait to be reunited, to be whole again.

…………

The "White Tiger" fragment of the astrolabe is sandwiched between the gaps of two rocks.

It took Gu Xu a lot of effort to pull it out.

I only heard a "pop", and the fragments of the "White Tiger" and the astrolabe body were spliced together like magnets, and the patterns were completely consistent, and there was no crack in sight, as if it had been a natural whole from ancient times to the present.

Suddenly, all the stars carved on the surface of the astrolabe lit up in unison.

The entire astrolabe glowed with dazzling light, like a sun rising from the top of Kunlun.

A majestic force poured into Gu Xu's body like a flood, almost bursting his meridians directly.

Gu Xu had to quickly run the "Red Flame True Technique" to digest these extra powers out of thin air.

A few days ago, he had just advanced to the fifth realm, "Meng Po Pavilion".

But at this moment, under the impetus of this force, he was running fast on the road to the Netherworld, and it seemed that the Sixth Realm "Xudu Gate" was not far from him.

And in addition to strength, what Gu Xu needs to absorb now is a lot of memory and knowledge.

He has always felt that there is an inexplicable sense of distance in the life of Emperor Ziwei, or the "past life" in the mouth of the white-haired boy, which is more like a story told to him by others, rather than his own personal experience.

But at this moment, as pictures flashed through his mind like a slide, he seemed to really remember his identity, and he really became the Emperor Ziwei.

……

When he was eight years old, he and Taishang Haotian worshiped the immortal gate together and learned the method of cultivation. The two are equally qualified, and they are both friends and rivals.

At the age of thirty, the two stepped into the realm of saints together, and at the same time formed a force called "Heavenly Palace" to conquer everywhere and build hegemony together.

Ten years later, the two of them were promoted to "True Monarch" together, and then exterminated the demon fairy clan and unified the upper realm.

At this time, they found their way to the Ninth Realm.

In a world, there can only be one Ninth Realm powerhouse.

But both of them are competitive personalities, and they both want to be the one who reaches the top.

As a result, the partnership broke down.

After that, there was an endless battle between the two.

When he saw that Emperor Ziwei's body was dying and his soul was broken in the game set up by Taishang Haotian, and only a wisp of remnant soul escaped, Gu Xu clearly felt a strong anger burning in his chest, making him want to kill the upper realm immediately, dismantle Taishang Haotian into eight pieces, eat his flesh, drink his blood, and then crush his bones and ashes.
