Chapter 136: The Beginning of the Legend
Climb to the top of the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda and leave your own legend in the Xuanhuang world!
Seeing the content of this side quest, Shen Yuan's whole person froze in place, and his slightly trembling pupils showed the unrest in his heart.
Shen Yuan learned from Gong Buyu that the Supreme Daozi had ascended to the highest level of the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda ten thousand years ago, and he had sung for the world for ten thousand years.
In the eyes of Shen Yuan, the authentic Supreme Daoist, this matter was naturally that the Luoyun Sect had not been able to find traces of the Supreme Daoist for a long time, so it deliberately falsified deeds and circulated them in the world, so as to deter the major caves and blessed lands.
When Shen Yuan had contact with Yunmeng Dragon Monarch and the Lord of the Blood River Yuan Slaughter Dao, he had vaguely learned about some of the things that the Falling Cloud Sect had done thousands of years ago, as well as all kinds of information about the name of the Supreme Daoist, which also confirmed Shen Yuan's guess.
However, when Shen Yuan reversed the ten thousand years of time with the help of the Tian Yuan Secret Decree and returned to the prosperous era of cultivation before the ten thousand years, he realized the seriousness of the problem.
The Falling Cloud Sect no longer exists!
This supreme immortal sect that has a cave sky, an earth immortal powerhouse in charge, and a pot heaven divine power has been passed down, and its size is not inferior to the ten major cave heaven holy lands has disappeared.
In that heavenly curse of the ascension, the Falling Cloud Sect lost not only the records in the historical documents, but even its own existence was erased from the timeline.
In this great era when the Falling Cloud Sect was supposed to intimidate the world, the inheritance and powerhouses of the Falling Cloud Sect no longer existed, and even these Tianjiao disciples of the Cave Heaven Blessed Land had no way of knowing the name of the Falling Cloud Sect.
Originally, Shen Yuan, who was a supreme Daoist, should also be erased together, but Shen Yuan had traveled a full 10,000 years late, and he was not affected by the Falling Cloud Sect in any way.
The high-level leaders of the Falling Cloud Sect secretly created momentum for the Supreme Daozi before the ascension of the Sect, and those false legends about the Supreme Daozi that were passed down to later generations should have dissipated with the erasure of the Falling Cloud Sect.
But the amazing coincidence seems to have turned into a reincarnation at this moment.
"The task given by the system is to let me climb to the top of the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower.
I am the supreme Taoist son of the Luoyun Sect, and after climbing the tower, I should be sung by the Xuanhuang Realm.
This means that what will leave a name for singing in the future generations is not the false momentum of the Luoyun Sect in secret, but what I really experienced. β
"I came after 10,000 years of time, leaving my own legend in this Xuanhuang Realm!"
Shen Yuan's heart was shocked.
At this moment, he couldn't even tell whether the root of the legend of the Supreme Daozi was his own doing, or the result of the secret momentum of the high-level of the Luoyun Sect.
History, which was supposed to be a straight line, turned into a twisted MΓΆbius ring under his interference, and the beginning of the legend and the time and space thousands of years later are connected at this moment.
Thinking of this, Shen Yuan looked at the system interface in front of him.
The cause and effect of all this seems to be caused by the system's reward for that Tian Yuan Secret Order.
Shen Yuan couldn't even tell if this was intentional by the system or if it was just a coincidence.
Looking at the words on the side quest interface, Shen Yuan's thoughts fluctuated.
Just when the system issued the task, he vaguely felt that the system seemed to have become a little different.
After being late for thousands of years, the logic of the system seems to still stay before thousands of years, showing a formulaic and rigid cycle, and the bugs of self-logic contradictions emerge in endlessly, which is jokingly called artificial intellectual disability by Shen Yuan.
It was precisely because of the bugs in the system itself that Shen Yuan was able to easily complete the hidden task.
And now that the system has triggered the side quest so coincidentally before this Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda, Shen Yuan vaguely feels that the system has a sense of intelligence.
It's as if the logic of the system itself, which has fallen into distortion and chaos, has returned to normal, and it is no longer the rigid artificial retardation system that it used to be.
This is not good news for Shen Yuan, who is not familiar with these changes for thousands of years.
Because he has long been vaguely aware that there is a big hole behind the artificial intellectual disability system, it is only that he can easily take advantage of it by successfully getting stuck with a bug after 10,000 years late.
The side quests given by the system returning to normal made him hesitate.
"The legend after 10,000 years, the side tasks given by the artificial intellectual disability system are guiding me to the top of the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda.
If I abandon this side quest, will the legend be passed on? Will there be other impacts on the AI disability system? β
Shen Yuan's thoughts fluctuated in his heart, but his eyes finally fell on the four words "reward unknown".
"The rewards given by side quests are generally not affected by the system, for example, the apprenticeship given in the previous side quest was personally prepared by the palace ancestor of Rong Cheng Da Yutian.
If nothing else, this side quest should be the same.
It is related to climbing the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda, is the reward to become the host of the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda? Or maybe it has something to do with the Tianyuan Secret Order that sent me into the small world of Zhenlong? β
Shen Yuan fell into deep thought because of the many secrets in it.
Just as Shen Yuan was contemplating and pondering, the Tianjiao of the major sects all took Shen Yuan's change in demeanor into their eyes.
The major sects Tianjiao had never heard of the name of the Falling Cloud Sect, and only thought that Shen Yuan was born in a small sect that was not well known, but he still had a certain curiosity about Wen Tiantai's flying sword technique.
Wen Tiantai was born in the Purple Cave Zhaotian, and his flying sword technique was not weak among the Avatar Cultivators, and it must be certain extraordinary to be able to be praised by Wen Tiantai like this.
But Shen Yuan's previous restless demeanor change made these sect Tianjiao very disappointed.
They didn't know what Shen Yuan was thinking, in their eyes, it was just someone who opened his mouth to expose the fact that Shen Yuan was from a small sect, but it made Shen Yuan panic to such an extent.
"Even though the flying sword technique is extraordinary, it is difficult for such a heart to become a big thing!"
Almost all the sect Tianjiao made a judgment for Shen Yuan in their hearts, and a little contempt faintly flashed in their eyes.
Wen Tiantai suddenly became a little anxious.
Among so many people present, only he knew how good Shen Yuan's swordsmanship was to kill a fourth-order desolate man with one sword, and none of the so many people present could have this strength.
These swordsmen are all extremely talented, and they will not suffer from gains and losses at all just because they are ridiculed for the power of the sect.
There must be something else wrong with this.
He brought Shen Yuan here precisely to introduce these sect Tianjiao to Shen Yuan, and tried to introduce connections to Shen Yuan, who was already extraordinary.
Who would have thought that it was because of the unexpected situation that caused other people to despise him, and his good intentions turned into bad things, which made him not know what to do.
However, fortunately, although the other sects Tianjiao disdained Shen Yuan, they would not casually refute Wen Tiantai's face and ridicule, but secretly despised Shen Yuan in their hearts, and then made up their minds to reduce contact with Wen Tiantai.
There are standards in the circle of Zongmen Tianjiao, and Wen Tiantai rashly introduced outsiders in today, which is already a big loss in the eyes of everyone.
Several sect Tianjiao ignored Shen Yuan's existence, and immediately began to change the topic:
"Before entering Lingxufang City, I had a meeting with one of the sect elders who came to Zhenlong's small world.
The elder once said that the rebellion of Xuanhuang Qi was coming to an end, and the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda would be opened soon, and it would be time for everyone to ascend the tower. β
The good-looking woman in a cyan robe said softly:
"The Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda has been in existence once in nine thousand years, and the news of its opening this time has not even spread out of the surrounding states.
If it takes a long time, there will inevitably be more big Yin Tianjiao coming to this small world, and if you want to stand out from the many tower breakers at that time, I am afraid it will not be easy. β
Liu Hang smiled loudly, not caring about the woman's statement.
"What if there are more tower trespassers? After all, this Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda is a place to test cultivation, understanding, and supernatural powers, as long as your own background is enough, you can climb to the top level.
If you don't have enough background, even if there are few people who break into the tower, it will be difficult to climb to the back of the tenth floor. β
Liu Hang's opening immediately aroused the echo of other sect Tianjiao.
"What Senior Brother Liu said is extremely true, our goal is only after climbing the tenth floor, even if there are more tower breakers, it has nothing to do with me."
"The highest level of the Great Cultivator of the Transformation Realm can only reach the twelfth layer, and there is a huge gap that is difficult to surmount, and we only need to show our potential to attract the recognition of the elders in the sect."
"It is worthy of Senior Brother Liu, and he is not affected by external forces."
Even Wen Tiantai's face couldn't help but show a little admiration, but he stayed beside Shen Yuan, who was still pensive, and did not speak.
And at this moment, a slightly immature voice sounded.
"I noticed that the major sects seem to have only sent one or two senior brothers and sisters from the Transformation God Realm, but the top Tianjiao and Daozi of the real sect have not appeared, I don't know what the reason is for this?"
Everyone followed the sound and looked, and the person who spoke was Xu Lin of the White Horse Xuanguangtian, the youngest of the disciples of the major sects present.
At the age of less than twenty-five, he stepped into the realm of transforming gods, and he can be regarded as the most talented one among the people present.
Although he has good talents, Xu Lin came from an ordinary background and never understood the various relationships within the sect, so he spoke like this.
Liu Hang, who was the leader of the crowd, looked stunned, and then laughed and said:
"Those senior brothers and Taoists have never come to this Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda, not because they don't want to come, but because they have scruples so they don't dare to try."
Liu Hang's answer immediately aroused Xu Lin's curiosity.
"Why don't you dare to come?"
Liu Hang didn't speak immediately, but turned around and asked:
"Do you know that the trial layers of this Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda correspond to the cultivation realm?"
"Since you have come to participate in the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda Trial, you have naturally learned about these things.
The first to third floors, the fourth to sixth floors, and the seventh to ninth floors of the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda correspond to the realm of refining, qi and qi refining respectively, while the tenth to twelfth floors correspond to the realm of transforming gods.
If you want to climb the thirteenth floor, you must have the cultivation of refining the realm of gods and true people.
According to this calculation, in order to reach the final eighteen layers, only the Great True Truth, who has returned to the Void Peak, can achieve it.
However, the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda only restricts the entry of cultivators under the age of 100, and it is extremely difficult to advance to the realm of refining gods in such a short period of time, let alone the realm of the pinnacle of the void.
For tens of thousands of years, the highest record for climbing the tower was only the fourteenth floor set by those two nine thousand years ago. β
Liu Hang nodded and asked with a smile:
"Since each layer almost corresponds to the corresponding realm, why are so many people rushing to climb the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda?"
Xu Lin's face suddenly showed a puzzled look, his brows furrowed but he couldn't say the answer.
In fact, this answer is very simple, because although the realm of Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda corresponds, this standard is not absolute.
For example, a gifted early stage cultivator who is a god transformation has the hope of ascending to the eleventh or even twelfth layer, once he completes such an achievement, it means that his potential has surpassed his own realm, and he will naturally be able to gain the admiration of his fellow monks and the attention of the elders of the sect.
On the contrary, there are some people who have cultivated well, but their own foundation is unstable and does not match the realm.
For example, there was a farce in history, a blessed land of contemporary Daozi climbed the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda with the peak cultivation of the gods, but finally stopped at the tenth layer and became the laughing stock of the entire cultivation world. β
Of course, this does not mean that those senior brothers and Taoists who are unwilling to participate are all people with unstable foundations.
But for them who have already stepped into the late stage of transforming gods, it is a matter of course to be able to climb the twelfth floor, the gap between the realm of transformation and refining gods is too big, and there are few people who have been able to cross the great realm and climb the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda throughout the ages.
Those senior brothers and Daoists who have ascended to the twelfth layer will not be rewarded by the sect, but because they make a mistake and stop at the eleventh layer, their own reputation and resources will be affected.
There is no reward for success, but there is a punishment for failure, and over time, those senior brothers who have stepped into the middle stage of the god transformation and the late stage of the god transformation are unwilling to participate in this Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda trial. β
Liu Hang's words suddenly made Xu Lin suddenly realize, and thanked Liu Hang again and again.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Liu, for your doubts."
The nunette in Tsing Yi on the side couldn't help but speak:
"In that case, wouldn't this trial not be able to see those Dao Masters of the Great Cave Heaven Blessed Land who have cultivated to a high level?"
"Of course not, although most Daoists are not willing to spend time participating in this thankless trial, there will still be some Daoists with outstanding talents who want to challenge the thirteenth layer with the peak cultivation of God Transformation.
Even in the other two major markets, it is said that the Holy Son and Holy Maiden of the Ten Great Cave Heavenly Holy Lands who have stepped into the realm of refining gods and true people have arrived, and even the third prince of the Great Yin Royal Family, who claims to surpass the Heavenly Martial Emperor, has also come to the small world of Zhenlong.
Their purpose was to break through the fourteenth layer record set by the Heavenly Martial Emperor and the Purple Jade Qingping Heavenly Sect. β
As soon as these words came out, someone immediately sighed:
"Among the ten major cave heaven holy lands, if you want to obtain the seat of the Holy Son and Holy Maiden, you must ascend to the realm of refining gods at the age of less than 100 years, otherwise you would rather let the position of the Holy Son and Holy Maiden be vacant.
It is said that now the ten major Cave Heaven Holy Lands have all had Holy Sons and Holy Maidens born, and there are even several Cave Heaven Holy Lands that have more than one true person refining gods, and some people have already experienced several open and secret battles because of this.
With so many Tianjiao in this world, the Xuanhuang Realm is lucky, and the future will be an unprecedented grand and prosperous world! β
"Although I can't wait for those holy sons and saints, I also hope to be able to break through the limitations of my own realm and ascend to higher levels."
"The junior brother has recently made a slight entry on the rune path, and he only needs to be able to verify it in the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda and climb the eleventh layer to know that it is enough."
"Our target is naturally the eleventh layer."
"Senior Brother Liu is still in the middle stage of the Transformation Spirit, and the target must be the twelfth layer, once he ascends, he will not be inferior to all Daoists!"
Everyone was enthusiastic about the discussion, and even Wen Tiantai couldn't help but participate in it and said:
"I've just reached the early stage of the transformation of the gods, and I know that my background is shallow, and I am already content to be able to ascend to the tenth layer."
"Why should Senior Brother Wen be humble?"
"After all, Senior Brother Wen is new to the realm of transforming gods, and it's a good thing that he can't be ambitious."
In the midst of the discussion, Wen Tiantai suddenly looked at Shen Yuan, who was still silent on the side, and couldn't help but ask:
"I don't know how many floors Shen Daoyou wants to climb to participate in this Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda trial?"
Wen Tiantai's words woke Shen Yuan up from his complicated thoughts.
He subconsciously looked at the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda towering straight above the clouds, his eyes crossed the space, and he saw the highest treasure pavilion engraved with the faces of the gods and Buddhas of the heavens, and countless Xuanhuang Qi fell, as if suppressing everything in the world.
The gods and Buddhas between the treasure pavilions contain divine meanings, and under the shroud of the Xuanhuang Qi, they seem to manifest their true god posture, and their magnificent bodies are above the nine heavens, and their eyes look down on the common people indifferently.
The Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda is conceived by the Xuanhuang Realm, and all the things on it are the essence of the Xuanhuang Realm, and the appearance of the eighteenth layer of the gods and Buddhas also symbolizes the upper heavenly court overlooking the Xuanhuang Realm.
Looking at the magnificent scene above the heavenly dome, for some reason, Shen Yuan's mind was completely empty, and the flame of the Divine Power Seed on his chest swayed gently with the will of the host.
The legends of ten thousand years, the supreme Daozi, the secret order of Tianyuan, and the secrets of the system disappeared, and at this moment, Shen Yuan followed his instinct to reach the peak and trampled this piece of heaven and earth, the gods and Buddhas who suppressed the world.
The corners of his mouth gently hooked a touch of arc, and Shen Yuan's flat words carried the invincible belief that pushed everything sideways.
"Ascend to the top, of course."
