Chapter 180: The Queen Mother of the West Is a Sinner?
Ye Chen couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, all the more powerful beasts needed this stone sword to deter, could it be that the once mysterious Kunlun people had fallen to this Cheng DΓΉ?
"Old man, I can see that you have all cultivated more or less, but the realm doesn't seem to be high, I don't know who the person with the highest realm in the village is?"
Ye Chen's question made the old people who were doing it change color slightly, after all, asking these questions is a bit sensitive, which is equivalent to directly probing the details of the village. But the old man could see from Ye Chen's eyes that he had no malicious intent, but was just a little puzzled and curious, and couldn't help but sigh and said, "Actually, we don't know who the strongest person in the village is. β
"Why is this?" Ye Chen was a little surprised, and said, "I think that your village should not be able to deal with even fierce beasts, but need this stone sword to guard it." β
"To tell you the truth, our village was very strong many years ago, but for some reason in the subsequent generations, the bloodline became thinner and thinner, so that there were only a handful of people in the entire village who could achieve something in cultivation. β
"Yes, now in our village, except for the two ancestors who have been in retreat for thousands of years, the strongest is only in the early stage of the Immortal Lord Realm. And we don't know what the situation of those two ancestors is......"
At this time, the other old man looked a little unnatural, and hesitated for a long time before he said: "The old man knows that you are all people with advanced realms, and I don't know if you can help us check it." β
"What's the matter with the old man, even if he says it, if he can do it, he will do his best!" Ye Chen immediately said, vaguely feeling that what the old man said was not simple.
"Here's the thing......"
The old man immediately told what had happened to them for many years, and he couldn't help but surprise Ye Chen, Nan'er, and Yan Xiaoyan.
It turned out that there were people in this village who felt abnormalities in their bodies in their old age about 10,000 years ago, and for generations, this abnormality became more and more common, and almost everyone could feel a very strange aura flowing in their bodies when they reached their old age.
Listening to the old people's words, Ye Chen's face changed slightly, and he said, "I don't know if this happened in your later years for generations?"
"Judging from the records left by Gu's ancestors, it should be that feeling when the blood and qi began to wither when they had just entered their old age, and when the blood and qi became more and more depleted, they could clearly feel that there was another strange breath circulating in the body. β
Ye Chen was silent, with a thoughtful look on his face, and after a while, he asked, "Except for old people like you, can there be any young people who feel even the slightest abnormality?"
"No, we have asked the young people in the village, and our grandparents have also asked their juniors, and none of the young people have felt ...... physical abnormality."
Ye Chen nodded slightly, and then asked the old man on the opposite side to stretch out his hand, he grabbed the old man's wrist, his fingers immediately turned pure gold, and wisps of Great Dao Immortal Patterns submerged into the old man's wrist, and the divine thoughts also probed into his body.
Gradually, Ye Chen's expression became more and more solemn, and when he let go of the old man's wrist, he didn't make a sound for a long time, which couldn't help but make Nan'er and Yan Xiaoyan also feel the severity of the situation, this may be irreversible, otherwise Ye Chen would not have shown such a look.
"Little brother, have you already understood what is going on, if you have really checked the clues, please say it directly. The old man opposite Ye Chen said this, there is nothing to fear at his age, what he is most worried about is the bloodline inheritance of the entire clan, and it may be possible to break it off if it goes on like this.
"Before answering this question, let me ask a few more words, and I know that you are the descendants of the Kunlun clan who were once mysterious and holy spirits. What I want to know is, how did you come to this sealed world, did your ancestors record how you came here, and did they encounter a strong enemy at that time?"
"Little brother, when you ask this, the old man remembers, when the old man did see such a record when he was looking through the ancient books, it roughly said that the ancestral land of Kunlun was not sacred, the spiritual root was dug up, and the strong enemy was unstoppable, so he looked for a place of refuge. β
"There are so many records in the ancient books left by the ancestors, and there is no superfluous description of this matter. β
"That's it......" Ye Chen's expression was solemn, and he sighed: "I'm not sure what happened back then, when most of the time I can guess a few points." The reason why you feel the abnormality of your body in your later years is that your ancestors were cursed when they retreated. β
"Cursed?"
The old man present and the rest of the village were shocked.
"Little brother, are you sure it's a curse? But our Kunlun remnants have been here for endless years, and if there is a curse, it shouldn't have appeared ten thousand years ago, right?"
"I'm sure your people are indeed cursed, it's a curse imprinted deep in your bloodline with the power of order, it will make your bloodline thinner and thinner, but it won't make them lose their bloodline origin. Although your Kunlun Relic Clan seems to be in great decline now, there is still a possibility that there will still be atavistic bloodlines in the generations, and they have unlimited potential!"
"But why did these curses only occur 10,000 years ago?" the people of the Kunlun Relic Clan were full of puzzlement, which was really a bit unbelievable.
Ye Chen sighed and said, "The person who planted the curse on your ancestors back then should be hundreds of millions of miles away, so the power of this order supernatural power has weakened. And your ancestors were all people with great supernatural powers, and their cultivation was unfathomable, and with their Great Dao Immortal Ability, they could still suppress and dissipate the power of this curse. But with the reproduction of generations, although the power of the curse has been consumed a lot, the descendants have also been affected in the process, and the bloodline of the Daozhì inheritance has gradually thinned, and the achievements in cultivation cannot be compared with the previous generation, so the generation has gradually fallen lonely, until 10,000 years ago, your ancestors can no longer suppress the power of the curse, which makes your bloodline have thinned to the point of almost nothing......"
"This ......" several old men's beards trembled slightly, as if they had become more old in an instant, and sighed: "If this is the case, then the sky is going to die, and one day the bloodline of our clan will become indistinguishable from ordinary people......"
"Young Master, is there a way to solve this problem, is there really no way to break this curse?" Nan'er sympathized with these people in the village, their ancestors were once the mysterious Kunlun clan, but now they have fallen to such a point.
"The person who planted this curse back then should be the best among the supremes, otherwise it would not have allowed the ancestors of the Kunlun remnant clan to find another place of refuge. Ye Chen shook his head and sighed: "This curse can't be broken by external forces, at least I haven't thought of any way yet." β
"Maybe this is retribution, isn't it often said that all laws are empty but cause and effect are not empty, back then our Kunlun clan had a sinner, and now we dare to bear this evil consequences......"
When Ye Chen heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, and said, "Dare to ask the old man, what you said was that ancient era?"
"Yes, it is the era of chaos, this is the pain of our entire Kunlun clan!" said the old man sitting directly opposite Ye Chen in a deep voice, and the other two old men and the rest of the Kunlun clan also had heavy faces.
"I wonder if the old man can tell me what happened back then?"
The old people sighed, seeing that Ye Chen was very interested in this, the old man among them said in a deep voice: "According to the codex left by the ancestors, when our Kunlun clan had not yet moved to this time, there was a genius in the clan who was amazed by ancient and modern times, who stepped into the secret realm of the Immortal Dao at the age of five, became an immortal king at the age of ten, was honored at the age of twenty, became a saint at the age of forty, and was already a supreme at the age of 100!"
"There are such geniuses in the world!" Ye Chen was shocked, with his tens of thousands of years of experience, he was an invincible supreme back then, and the growth process of thousands of Tianjiao in the world was seen by him, but no one had such an amazing appearance.
"Yes, she is known as the most amazing genius in ancient and modern times! Back then, the Emperor of Heaven personally decreed that she should go to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall and give it to the Queen Mother of the West!"
"Old man, the sinner in your mouth is the Queen Mother of the West?" Ye Chen was quite surprised in his heart, which subverted his perception of the Queen Mother of the West.
"That's right, it's the Queen Mother of the West. Since she was named the Queen Mother of the West, she established Yaochi Immortal Mountain in the Heavenly Court of the Immortal Realm, and rarely returned to Kunlun after that, but every time she came back, she would always take away the girls with extraordinary qualifications in our clan, and those girls were never heard from again. β
"Tens of thousands of years later, we Kunlun will have two more supremes, that is, the two ancestors who took us to escape here. I don't know why, the ancestors were suddenly attacked by mysterious people, and one of them was the Queen Mother of the West! She shot mercilessly, wantonly killing our Kunlun people, if it weren't for the two ancestors, our Kunlun people would probably have ceased to exist a long time ago. β
Hearing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but look at each of the Kunlun remnants present, and said, "Presumably you have known these things for a long time, the ancestors did not hide this matter from you, plus the curse I said earlier, do you already think that this curse was planted by the Queen Mother of the West in the blood of your ancestors?"
"There should be no one else but her. Several old men said in a deep voice: "The ancestors mentioned in the codex that when the Queen Mother of the West was in the prime of her cardamom years, almost the Kunlun clan used the strength of the whole clan to find precious resources such as fairy spirit essence for her, and made every effort to cultivate her to become the supreme, but I didn't expect that in the end, it almost caused our clan to be destroyed......
"Things may not be what you think, this matter should involve a lot, it is very complicated, and it involves some secrets in the heavenly court, which cannot be explained in a few words. With my understanding of the exercises practiced by the Queen Mother of the West, she would not know this vicious curse technique at all, and your ancestors have made it very clear that there were two people who attacked your Kunlun back then, not the Queen Mother of the West. Speaking of this, Ye Chen paused and said, "In this world full of conspiracy, sometimes what you see with your eyes is not necessarily true. β
"Do you know the exercises cultivated by the Queen Mother of the West?" The Kunlun Relic Clan present was suddenly full of vigilance towards Ye Chen, and there was even hostility in their eyes, but soon they shook their heads again and said, "No, you can't get her inheritance and cultivate her exercises, her exercises can only be cultivated by women, could it be them?"
Everyone in the Kunlun Relic Clan shifted their gaze to Nan'er and Yan Xiaoyan, which couldn't help but make Ye Chen feel quite speechless, and explained: "Don't speculate, my understanding of the exercises of the Queen Mother of the West came from accident, and I had inadvertently visited the ruins of the Ancient Heavenly Court. β
"Ancient Heavenly Court Ruins, are you saying that the Heavenly Court that used to be extremely prosperous has disappeared?" The people of the Kunlun clan were very shocked, and their faces were full of disbelief.
Ye Chen also felt strange and said, "You should know something about this matter, after all, your ancestors should have come here when this heaven and earth had just been sealed, and at that time, great changes had taken place in the heavenly court, your ancestors should know about this, could it be that they didn't record it?"
