Volume 1 The Scourge of Ascension Chapter 31 The Mystery of the Nine Turns of the Jade Pendant
Looking at each of the fierce beasts that passed, Cheng Hao was shocked and found their frozen expressions, all with unwillingness, anger and a trace of pain.
After taking Cheng Hao around, the two came to the fierce beast called Han Qi again. Along the way, the Bright Demon Beast never said a word except to explain the names of the giant beasts to him. Along the way, every time he passed a giant beast, his face became more melancholy.
"The God King in your mouth is the man in white in the Heavenly Pillar, and you and these fierce beasts were captured and sealed here by him, right?"
Everything he had experienced in the previous dream was enough for Cheng Hao to understand everything, although he didn't know what these fierce beasts had gone through, but from their frozen expressions, he could see what kind of struggle they had gone through before they were sealed.
The Bright Demon Beast nodded, and answered Cheng Hao, facing the Han Qi in the crystal wall in front of him for a long time.
"It's been a long time since I've been here, thank you!"
Leaving his eyes off the figure of Han Qi, the bright demonic beast walked towards the place where Cheng Hao woke up at the beginning, and suddenly said this when Cheng Hao hurriedly followed.
"Why do you want to thank me? Didn't you bring me here?"
Cheng Hao asked suspiciously, and then thought of the scene before coming here, and couldn't help but feel a move in his heart, an unbelievable thought was breeding in his mind, could it be...
"I forgot to tell you, the jade pendant is the god king ding. Sure enough, the words of the Bright Demon Beast confirmed Cheng Hao's thoughts, "Back then, I broke through the seal and caused the formation to be damaged, and the Divine Ding Weapon Spirit self-destroyed in order to protect the remnant soul of the God King, so you have the opportunity to let it recognize the master." After speaking, the two of them had already come to the place where Cheng Hao appeared for the first time before.
"Can you tell me about you and this jade pendant? ”
Now behind the bright demonic beast, Cheng Hao asked. Since seeing the scene in the dream, Cheng Hao wanted to know what kind of time it was, what happened after the dream, and the question of going out was temporarily forgotten.
The bright demonic beast turned around and looked at Cheng Hao. With a deep sense of loneliness in his eyes, he said, "Of course you can!" Then he sat down cross-legged and placed the spear in front of him, falling into a deep memory...
Back then, there was an accident in the Heavenly Dao, the void was shattered, and the five true realms, the god realm, the immortal realm, the demon realm, the demon realm, and the underworld, collided with each other and turned into countless fragments, causing the lives to be destroyed. In order to fight for the territory, there are constant fights between the various tribes. And the five, as the supreme rulers of all walks of life, are facing the danger of falling at the same time for some reason, including the god kings of the divine realm.
As a giant of the party, the Bright Demon Beast was celebrating with his fellow clans after leading his demon clan to conquer a territory, when the God King descended. In the face of absolute strength, even if this god king was already declining, the Bright Demon Beast still had no room to fight back and was captured, and was sealed in the God King Ding, which stored endless spiritual power, in endless fear.
Similar scenes are constantly staged, gluttonous, ruthless, and disgusting... The leaders of a total of ten fierce beasts, including the Bright Demon Beast, these strong men who were supposed to rule one side were sealed one after another as nourishment for the God King to extend his life.
After that, the limit of the god king had arrived, and he sealed his remnant soul into the heavenly pillar in the god ding, and used the formation to absorb the cultivation and qi and blood of the ten fierce beasts.
However, many years passed, and while the various tribes were still clashing over the territory, something happened that no one expected. Among the ten fierce beasts sealed in the Divine Ding, the Bright Demon Beast abandoned cultivation to break free from the seal by using its own natural shield technique.
The seal was broken, and the remnant soul of the God King could not continue to absorb the cultivation and qi and blood of other fierce beasts. Under the chain reaction, the formation of Shending itself was damaged, and the endless aura collected in it exploded and leaked, forming a terrifying impact, making Shending rush out of the heavenly realm and penetrate the mortal land of Kyushu, descending into the endless nothingness.
Within the void, spiritual power continued to leak out, gradually turning into a continent. And the ensuing Bright Demon Beast escaped from the Ding, but it lost all its cultivation, and the Inner Dan also turned into two halves, half of the memory and half of the source of life. The half of the memory was left in the Ding forever, and he himself fell into a deep sleep, but by mistake he merged with the slowly forming continent and had an endless lifespan.
In order to ensure the immortality of the remnant soul of the God King, who was getting weaker and weaker, the machine spirit was willing to turn into a formation pattern that complemented the formation in the tripod and solidified and wrapped the body of the tripod with spiritual power, turning into the appearance of a jade pendant, making the space inside the tripod isolated from the outside world, and sealing some spiritual power in the tripod.
Countless years have passed, and creatures have slowly been born on the continent, and the bright demonic beast that has fused with the earth has slowly awakened, but when he woke up, he was no longer the bright demonic beast he used to be.
There is no cultivation, no memory, and he lives in a muddy way, afraid of humans like ordinary fireflies. It wasn't until Cheng Hao's appearance that the aura of the other half of the Inner Dan in the Nine Turns Jade Pei deeply attracted him, and everything that happened after that appeared.
"So your memories were only restored before you entered here?
After listening to the story of the Bright Warcraft, Cheng Hao suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the Bright Warcraft before entering here was so timid, and it was like two people in front of him.
"That's right, the remnant soul of the God King is completely unconscious, but I still can't get close to the Heavenly Pillar for too long, it will be refined after a long time, otherwise I won't let you fuse it!"
The bright monster smiled, perhaps because of the memories of the past, which made him a little melancholy, and his smile looked quite reluctant. After speaking, he got up and took Cheng Hao back to the lakeshore forest before entering the Shending space.
The undisguised words made Cheng Hao quite embarrassed, but I have to say that this is the truth. And if it weren't for the fact that Cheng Hao had the same innate Dao body as the God King, he could be immune to the coercion of the God King's remnant soul, maybe the Bright Demon Beast would be willing to find someone else, and it wouldn't have allowed Cheng Hao to refine the Heavenly Pillar.
"The Heavenly Pillar and the Divine Ding have long been integrated, and through this prohibition, they can interact with the Heavenly Pillar and enter and exit freely. ”
The Bright Demon Beast broke the prohibition of fusing the Heavenly Pillar into Cheng Hao's sea of knowledge, and was about to leave.
After being forbidden to enter the sea of knowledge, Cheng Hao felt an inexplicable connection with the jade pendant, as long as he thought of it, the scene in the Shending would appear in his mind at any time.
Driven by curiosity, he put the long sword behind him into it, and as soon as his mind moved, the long sword disappeared in an instant and appeared in the Shending space, thinking about taking out the long sword, the long sword appeared in his hand again. Just as he was having fun, the Bright Demon Beast had already gone away.
"Is it possible for the other nine beasts to break free from the seal?"
Cheng Hao couldn't help but stop him, when the Bright Demonic Beast was able to escape, Cheng Hao was worried that now that such a long time has passed, will there be problems with the seal, and will the other nine fierce beasts have the possibility of breaking free from the seal, after all, this is like a time (harmony) bomb. And this nine-turn jade pendant, whether in terms of function or meaning, it is impossible for him to abandon it.
"As long as the remnant soul of the God King does not die, the seal will continue to strengthen. Unless you have the strength to truly refine the entire Wang Ding of the Gods, they will never come out. The Bright Demon Beast looked back and said, turning around and flying into the sky in the form of fireflies and disappearing.
Seeing the bright monster leave, Cheng Hao couldn't help but feel emotional, and the last worry was also put down, looking at the familiar world around him, Cheng Hao took a deep breath, "I don't know how long it has been, it feels so good to come back!"
Back at the lake, Cheng Hao saw the pile of wood that had grilled fish before, and after walking over, judging from the traces of ashes, it seemed that it had not been extinguished for a long time.
"Could it be..."
Cheng Hao was incredulous, ran all the way ahead, looked at the black tree in front of him that was burned by the fire, and reached out to touch the residual warmth.
"It's only been one night!"
After experiencing that dream before, he witnessed the long years of the entire god realm, and he even had the illusion that he had spent several years, and the bright demonic beast didn't tell him how long it was, but his body had no traces of time and no hunger that had not eaten for a long time, so he thought that he would be in a coma for two or three days at most. Unexpectedly, only one night has passed.
This night, he witnessed too many incredible things, prohibitions, formations, all kinds of immortal magic weapons, demons and monsters, even including the Bright Demon Beast and the nine-headed ancient beast that still existed in the Nine Turns Jade Pei, etc., which had never been heard of before, which was shocking earlier than when Nangong Que told himself that they were people from the other world. Walking all the way to Qingzhou City, there were many thoughts in my mind.
There are many stories about gods and demons and monsters, and they have always been just stories that people wanted to come up with in ancient times, but now I have experienced them myself, and they are even more powerful than the stories told in the storytellers!
After thinking about it, I found that there were actually many things that I hadn't figured out, such as why the remnant soul of the God King suddenly disappeared when he fused the Heavenly Pillar before, and why he saw a scene in the dream, these have no answers, and the Bright Demon Beast didn't tell him what he meant, and maybe even he couldn't figure it out.
The world in the dream realm is called the heavenly realm by the bright demon beasts, which is the collective name of the countless fragmented continents after the five true realms collide together, and the god king Ding broke through the Kyushu Continent as a mortal realm after landing from the heavenly realm, so where is the Kyushu Continent, and it will be the same place as what Nangong Que said?
As for the Heavenly Realm, Cheng Hao didn't dare to think there, the world force value described by Nangong Que would definitely not reach that height. There are still too many things that he can't figure out, and he feels that his thoughts will explode if he thinks about it again. It took only two or three days to walk all the way, but it took five days to get halfway there.
This is a small county town located between Xin'an County and Qingzhou City, and at this time, Cheng Hao walked to the door of an inn to go in and eat something.
In the past five days, I have been thinking about the scene from a few days ago, and I have also entered the Shending space a few times, and the remnant soul of the God King is still looming in the heavenly pillar, but he can't get close to those fierce beasts without the help of the Bright Demon Beasts.
Just as Cheng Hao stepped into the door of the restaurant, a six- or seven-year-old child held a clay pot full of water in his hand, cautiously ran to the counter of the inn and raised the clay pot in his hand, and said excitedly to the shopkeeper who was settling accounts, "Grandpa, look! I caught a small fish by the pond." I'm going to raise it and watch it grow!"
The shopkeeper put down the abacus in his hand and walked out of the counter, reached out to take the clay pot and looked inside, and saw a small thumb-length fish struggling in the water, as if frightened of the unfamiliar environment in the fish tank.
"Haha, good grandson, what are you catching it for? It's still so small, it's going to die if you keep it in a jar, and grandpa will accompany you to put it in the river, okay?"
The shopkeeper touched the child's head lovingly and said with a smile. The little grandson always loves to have an inexplicable love for small animals, but when his beloved pet dies, he will always be sad for a long time.
"Oh, but there are a lot of big fish in the river, what if it gets eaten by the big fish?"
The boy hurriedly said, snatching the clay pot from the shopkeeper's hand, for fear that his grandfather would really take the little fish and release it.
"Silly boy, if you put it in the river, one day he will grow up and become a big fish. The shopkeeper picked up the child and patiently explained.
