After leaving the main hall, Xu Yang followed Gu Hong Ancestor all the way to the back of the main hall, where Gu Hong's cultivation retreat room was located.

"Xu Yang, sit down. ”

After Gu Hong Ancestor stepped into the meditation room, he sat down cross-legged on one of the futons. At his signal, Xu Yang walked over and sat cross-legged on the other futon.

Suddenly, a cool feeling rose from the futon under his knees, soaked into Xu Yang's limbs, and slowly flowed to the sea of stars and the sea of knowledge, making Xu Yang's mind clear.

"This futon ......" Xu Yang looked down, the futon was made of a strange blade of grass, glowing with a lilac light, and he knew at a glance that it was not an ordinary thing.

"This requiem futon was woven by the Xuantian Patriarch when he collected the holy medicine requiem grass, and cultivated on it, which has the effect of purifying the heart and concentrating the mind, and the grasp of surviving the heart demon tribulation will ......be greatly improved," Gu Hong Ancestor said slowly, "Xun Ji spent his heart demon tribulation here, and achieved the saint avenue." ”

Xu Yang nodded, he was now the Seven Tribulation World Venerable, and he was only two Tribulations away from the Ninth Heart Demon Tribulation.

"I don't know what happened when the ancestor ordered Xu Yang to come over?" Xu Yang knew that Gu Hong Ancestor would never come to introduce the treasure of the requiem futon.

"There are some things I want to entrust to you. I'm old, and in the starry battlefield, I may fall at any time, and it is necessary to find a successor in advance. "Gu Hong Ancestor said.

"The successor?!"

Xu Yang was taken aback, and then said, "Old Ancestor Gu Hong, if you didn't count the time when you pretended to be Xuantian Patriarch, we would only meet for the first time today, right?

Gu Hong Ancestor smiled: "The first time we met, I'm afraid it's not right...... Xu Yang, as early as more than ten years ago, on the streets of Donglai Kingdom in Yingzhou, didn't you and I meet each other?"

"Donglai Kingdom?"

Xu Yang's brows furrowed tightly, and he suddenly woke up. Shocked to stand up from the requiem futon.

"Old Ancestor Gu Hong, you are the crazy ...... in the linen robe at that time," Xu Yang said in surprise.

"Yes, I am the crazy old man," Gu Hong Ancestor said with emotion, "I have been crazy for hundreds of years, until I met you." only then did he come to his senses. ”

For the scene more than ten years ago, Xu Yang can still clearly recall. The strength of the crazy old man in the hemp robe is far beyond Xu Yang's cognition, and even the current Xu Yang can't tell the other party's realm.

"This ...... Even so, you and I have only met two or three times, and I am afraid it would be a little rash to entrust the affairs of the human race to me. There are still many strong people in our Terran Alliance. For example, Snake Ancestor, Sword Mansion Saint Ye Xing, etc., they should be more competent than me. Xu Yang said.

"Hehe, Xu Yang...... Do you think that the meeting between you and me on the streets of Donglai was accidental?" said Gu Hong Ancestor leisurely.

"Isn't it?" Xu Yang's eyes widened slightly.

Gu Hong Ancestor did not directly answer Xu Yang's rhetorical question, but stood up, paced leisurely in the small quiet room, and finally said with some unreasonable answers: "The first generation of the Emperor Ancestor. That is, the personal disciple of Xuantian God left a testament before his death, asking my emperor to be every thirty-three years. He opened the Little Heavenly Road Trial, and spent a lot of energy to extradite talented people from all continents to join the Little Heavenly Road Trial. The patriarch left this testament without revealing the reason, and our disciples in later generations are only guessing. This is related to what the patriarch often said, 'destined people'. It wasn't until I came to the Hall of Stars that I realized the purpose of this testament. ”

While speaking, Gu Hong Ancestor walked to the north wall of the quiet room, and with a gentle flick, the north wall of the quiet room suddenly rumbled open. A dark and heavy secret passage appeared in front of Xu Yang's eyes.

"Follow me. ”

Gu Hong Ancestor stepped into the secret passage first, and Xu Yang followed.

The secret passage was not long, and after walking dozens of steps, Xu Yang stepped out of the secret passage and regained the light in front of him.

It is an elaborate attic with a simple decoration, only in the central area, with a raised platform on which stands a quaint stone slab. On the surface of this stone slab, there are mysterious words engraved with each word, each of which Xu Yang does not recognize, only feels that it contains mysterious laws and truths.

"Immortal words. Xu Yang gasped, although he didn't know these words, he could guess the origin of these words. Before the seventy-two doubtful graves in the Kurong Realm, the seventy-two immortal inscriptions that stood also had this kind of writing.

"This is the Tablet of Destiny, on which the Xuantian God left a prophecy. After pondering for a long time, I roughly guessed the full text of the prophecy," Gu Hong Ancestor turned around and looked at Xu Yang with burning eyes, "Xuantian God predicts that in the future, there will be a destined person to appear, inherit his mantle, and re-lead the clan! ”

Xu Yang walked forward as he said and came to this quaint stone slab. The trajectories of the immortal characters on the stone slabs change, and the horizontal and vertical lines are combined, and finally a figure is formed.

This figure has no color, but from the edges and corners of his eyebrows and eyes, Xu Yang feels a distinct sense of familiarity.

The figure on this slate is precisely himself!

"Do you understand? The person in Xuantian God's prophecy is you. Old Ancestor Gu Hong sighed, "Over the years, I have cultivated in the Hall of Stars, and I have seen the relics left by the Xuantian Patriarch, and I have great respect for his universal methods. Since he has chosen you as the prophet, he will not be wrong. ”

Xu Yang's mind was still in a huge shock, and he couldn't say anything for a while.

"Eight hundred and twenty years ago, I learned for the first time in the Hall of Stars about the existence of the prophet, so I traveled around the continents, looking for the prophet everywhere, wanting to take him as a disciple and bring him back to the emperor to teach him carefully," Gu Hong Ancestor sighed and said, "It's just that it wasn't until later that I realized that I was wrong, and it was very wrong. ”

"In the endless search, I fell into a state of paranoia, and later I was even almost crazy! It was not until I met you on the streets of Donglai Kingdom in Yingzhou more than ten years ago that I woke up from my madness and completely woke up. "Gu Hong Ancestor said.

Xu Yang said: "More than ten years ago, the ancestor found me, why didn't he take me as a disciple and bring me back to the emperor according to the original plan?"

Gu Hong Ancestor said: "After this crazy process, I woke up to the fact that you, as a prophet, have your own growth trajectory. If I intervene forcibly, there will be unknowable consequences. Just imagine, if I had brought you back to the Emperor Sect, even if I taught you carefully, would you have been able to grow from a Xuan Shi to the realm of the Seven Tribulations World Venerable in more than ten years?"

Xu Yang was silent, and then shook his head. In the past ten years, he has experienced countless vicious battles, many of which he narrowly escaped death. These sinister experiences stimulated his potential in a desperate situation, so he continued to break through his realm, and he cultivated to the Seven Tribulations World Venerable in more than ten years.

If he lived a comfortable life in the Emperor Sect, I am afraid that Xu Yang's current achievements would not be much better than those of other Emperor Sect disciples. According to the age of thirty, it is already good to be able to achieve King Xuan.

"Xu Yang, when you first came to the Starry Sky Battlefield, you didn't know much about the situation here. Do you know what forces are our enemies made of?" said Gu Hong Ancestor.

Xu Yang hesitated for a moment and said, "Among the twelve strong clans of the Barbarian Wilderness, except for the bloodsucking clan that was completely wiped out by the Xuantian God back then, there are still eleven races left. The four major sects of the Immortal Alliance, as well as the Penglai Immortal Sect, these five forces from within the human race, are also our great enemies. ”

"Yes, do you know the relationship between these ethnic forces?"

Xu Yang shook his head: "Please also ask the ancestor to solve his doubts." ”

Gu Hong Ancestor said: "There are a total of sixteen large forces, but they are actually divided into three factions. ”

"First of all, it's the chess piece of the Evergreen Heavenly Immortal Domain. The four families of the Immortal Alliance, Kunlun Immortal Sect, Xingchen Academy, Celestial Clan, and Huang Clan, are the forces directly controlled by the Evergreen Heavenly Immortal Domain, and they are absolutely loyal to Evergreen Heaven. Under their co-optation, there were two other barbarian clans, the Tianmu clan and the Yu clan, who joined this faction, so there were a total of six families in the Evergreen Heaven faction. ”

Gu Hong Ancestor continued, "The second faction is the Yin Netherworld Heavenly Immortal Domain Control Zhì. The Hades Clan, the Ghost Clan, and the Penglai Immortal Sect are all loyal subordinates of the Yin Netherworld, and they also wooed the Fog Clan. Among this faction, there are only four, but the Hades and Ghost Clans each have two saint-level masters, so they should not be underestimated. ”

"The third faction is the forces of the barbarian clans that have not yet attached themselves to the two immortal domains. Led by the Soul Clan, the Yaksha Clan, the Iron Clan, the Rock Clan, the Mei Clan, and the Royal Beast Clan, a total of six major ethnic groups. The single strength of the soul clan is the strongest, and there are three saint powerhouses in their clan, so the rest of the clan is looking at their horses. ”

After introducing the three major factions, Xu Yang had a refreshing feeling, and he had a clearer grasp of the battlefield shape in the Heavenly Ancestor Array.

"Fortunately, our enemies are divided into three major factions, and if they work together, the Terran Heaven-Replenishing Ancestor Formation's defense line will probably be difficult to maintain. Xu Yang said.

Old Ancestor Gu Hong nodded approvingly, and said, "Now the three major factions are basically working on their own, and none of them are willing to fight hard with our human race and lose their own strength. After all, the strength of our Terran race is not weaker than that of any faction. ”

Xu Yang nodded, and he began to quickly build plans in his mind. Compared to an all-iron opponent, an opponent divided into three factions is undoubtedly easier to deal with. As early as Yingzhou, Xu Yang took advantage of the contradiction between the Hades and the Royal Beast Clan to lead the human race to the left and right, and finally won a chance to breathe and seal the two strong clans.

"Xu Yang, what do you think about the matter of the Boya Ruins this time?" Gu Hong Ancestor interrupted Xu Yang's thinking and asked. (To be continued......)
