Chapter 53: The Legend of the Holy Fire
Ship Hall.
The fourth elder cleared his throat: "Sit down, sit down, take advantage of this time, let me tell you about the origin of the Immortal Cultivation Realm, which you must know as an elite disciple." It all started with the mass extinction of the dinosaurs, and legend has it that a long, long time ago, there was a beautiful and ferocious asteroid that struck the Gulf of Tonkin in present-day North America. The impact tore apart the earth, separating the current Xiniuhe Prefecture from the Nanzhan Buzhou and Pangea Continent, and the sandstorm mixed with radiation dust rose six thousand meters high, and the temperature was close to the surface of the sun. The violent shock wave, in six seconds, affected the entire earth. Some animals are still eating grass, and they are shattered and die, which is really sad. ”
Wan Bao: "Master, are you going to tell us about 65 million years of history?"
Fourth Elder: "Okay, let's start with two million years ago. 63 million years after the mass extinction of the dinosaurs, the surface of the earth was buried by radiation dust, there were no living beings, human beings lived in the darkness of the earth, there was nothing to say, all for survival, and only a very small number of the very few survived in the end. As for how you survived, I don't want to tell you. ”
"On that day that year, there was a lingering light rain, and it was two hundred years at a time. Two hundred years later, the rain stopped, the sun shone on the land, and the survivors of the mass extinction began to return to land. ”
"This is really a miraculous moment, thanks to that continuous rain, which saved the earth, purified the atmosphere, and formed the Pangea Ocean, which is the catastrophe of the flood. At that time, the planetary fragments with high-intensity radiation energy produced by the impact were the so-called spirit stones. ”
"But that has nothing to do with what I'm talking about today. I am telling this nonsense to let you know that anything can happen on this earth, including destruction! Be prepared at all times. ”
"In the first few years after the catastrophe of the flood famine, there was no difference between humans and demon clans, and they lived a life of drinking blood until there was fire. When it comes to fire, you have to remember a great person, and that is Hongjun Ancestor. Hongjun Ancestor was the most intelligent person at that time, and in order to explore the root cause of the extinction of the dinosaurs, he did not hesitate to travel thousands of miles to the planetary impact point, which is now known as the Land of Chaos. There, he discovers eight flames that burn endlessly, as well as various items that have never been destroyed in the fire, collectively known as the Innate Things. ”
"Hongjun Ancestor divided the primordial fire obtained from the planet impact point into eight parts of different attributes, and gave them to the major disciples, these eight parts of fire, we call them the Eight Desolation Holy Fire. These eight fires are the supreme energy of the Three Realms, and they have the power to destroy the heavens and the earth, so they cannot be gathered together. At that time, one of these eight fires was stored in the innate gossip furnace of Taishang Laojun, which was called the Eight Desolation Dry Fire. One is stored in the furnace of the Tongtian Sect Master, and it is called the Eight Desolations from the Fire. A copy is stored in the reincarnation mirror of Nuwa Niangniang under the Nine Shadows, called the Eight Desolation Kunhuo. One is stored in the palace lamp of the original Tianzun, called the Eight Desolation Earthquake Fire. One is stored in the Brahma lamp of the ancient Buddha, called the Eight Desolations Xun Fire. One is stored in the Eighteen Hells of Hell, called the Eight Desolation Fires. One copy is stored in the heart of the Fire Demon Ancestor Zhu Rong, and it is called the Eight Desolations and Fire. The origin of these fires, as the successors of the Immortal Dao, you all need to know!"
Wan Bao: "Master, no, it's only seven, and one is missing." ”
The fourth elder took a sip of the tea poured by the younger brother Yuanying: "That's right, Ah Bao is right, it's one less." This last Eight Desolation Fire escaped control when Hongjun Ancestor separated the primordial fire, and he didn't know where to go. ”
Wan Bao: "Is this fire spiritual?"
Fourth Elder: "That's right! Bao'er's comprehension is high. According to Hongjun Ancestor's inference, it was these Eight Desolation Sacred Flames that pushed the asteroid out of orbit and crashed into the earth. ”
Yuan Yicheng: "Fourth Elder, aren't you talking nonsense! Since this fire has spirituality, how does Hongjun Ancestor control it?"
Fourth Elder: "Well, everyone is talking nonsense, why can't I talk about it? So I'm going to talk about the next very important thing! That is the Eight Desolation Holy Fire Order! Every kind of fire is controlled by the Eight Desolation Holy Fire Order!"
Yuan Yicheng: "Wait, isn't that holy country invincible? I remember Master Changmei said that the only Eight Desolation Holy Fire that exists in the human realm is not the one in the Holy Demon Ancestral Land Altar? ”
Fourth Elder: "It seems that the old ghost of Changmei has told you a lot! However, I can only say that all the manipulation techniques of the Eight Desolation Holy Fire Order have not been passed down by Hongjun Ancestor! Or, even he himself does not know! One thing that is well known is that this Eight Desolations Holy Flame Order can manipulate the Holy Soul Warriors who have been imprinted with Holy Souls by the Holy Flame!"
Xuan Yi: "Fourth Elder, what is the Holy Soul?"
Fourth Elder: "The so-called Holy Soul, this, well, this, what about your understanding! Simply understood is the soul contract, understand! I don't understand that we communicate in private!"
Xuanyi: "I understand, I understand, I understand completely!"
Wan Bao: "Master, where are the several Holy Flame Orders now?"
Fourth Elder: "Don't worry. The Qianzi number in the hands of the Holy Lord was snatched by the Tongtian Sect Master during the Battle of the Gods, and it should have been given to the Holy Lord by the Tongtian Sect Master as a treasure of the town. The Eight Desolation Holy Fire Order is now at the Holy Demon Ancestral Land Altar. And the Kun number in the hands of the Holy Demon Lord Yang Dianfeng that day was the treasure of the town clan given by Nuwa Niangniang. The redemption number in the hand of the demon lord Ouyang Wentian was given by the Fire Demon Ancestor. And after the primordial Tianzun incarnated into the Dao, the Eight Desolation Holy Fire Order in the Kunlun Palace was lost in the Kunlun Thirteen Golden Immortals Civil War, and its whereabouts are still unknown. As for the Kanzihao, it was originally suppressed at the bottom of the Tianhe River, but now it is also lost. The Xunzi number is now in the hands of Lingshan Rulai. The Genzi was originally guarded by Jizo Bodhisattva, but during the last Hell Rebellion, Jizo was seriously injured, and the whereabouts of this token are now unknown. ”
The four elders looked around: "I've told you so much, these are not nonsense! I have attained the Tao and cultivated the truth, and I could originally enjoy the blessings of the heavens, but it was for the sake of this lost Holy Fire Order that I stayed in this human realm. And our Immortal Dao Ancestral Court, on the surface, is established for the benefit of immortal cultivators, and the most important task in the secret is to help Heavenly Court recover the lost Holy Fire Order on these few sides!
"Understood!"
Fourth Elder: "Next, I will talk about the Immortal Dao Ancestral Court." My Immortal Dao Ancestral Court was established a thousand years ago, and it was originally just a platform for immortal cultivators to communicate with each other. Since the Kunlun Civil War, after the Eight Desolations Sacred Flame Order was lost, Heavenly Court intervened in the investigation, and it was found that this Holy Flame Order may have fallen into the human world. However, according to the rules of heaven, the immortal realm is not allowed to directly interfere in the affairs of the human realm, so with the help of my immortal Dao ancestral court. My Immortal Dao Ancestral Court thus began to formalize and evolved into the only agency of the Heavenly Court in the human realm, called the Immortal Alliance. The Immortal Alliance is headed by the ten elders, including me, and the following are divided into deacon elders from each realm. The supreme governing body is the Joint Council of Ten Elders. The deacon elder is in charge of the affairs of various realms or assists the major elders in managing some affairs, such as me, the little brother who pours tea, don't underestimate him, he is also a deacon elder, and he is the old man's confidant, otherwise such an important thing as pouring tea will not be handed over to him to do, and how many assassinations and poisons will be seen through by him. You have to treat him with respect!"
The little brother of Yuanying burst into tears, and his snot and tears flowed into a teacup.
Wan Bao: "Master, is the position of the elder voted for by everyone?"
The fourth elder said, "Not all. Our Ten Elders were directly appointed by Heavenly Court. As for the deacons and elders, the composition is complicated. When the Immortal League was first established, there were not enough people, some of them came out of the big sects, some of them were the cronies of our great elders, and some of them were voted for. But now, they are basically promoted from the deacon disciples, and the fittest is survived. The deacons and disciples of the Immortal Dao Ancestral Court are specially cooperating with the elders to manage the entire Three Thousand Realms of Immortal Cultivation. Deacon disciples are now recruiting a group every 100 years, like you, this batch of candidates should be selected, you should feel honored! When you take the exam, you must have faith in the Immortal Dao! Remember what I said?"
Yuan Yicheng: "Exams, exams! I hate exams the most! How can there be exams!"
Fourth Elder: "The situation is pressing, this time is different from the past, in the past, we only needed to pick a few suitable ones, go to the Immortal Dao Ancestral Court for training, talk about some big truths, and reward and encourage it." But the Grand Elder proposed that from this cohort onwards, every child of the elected deacon would have to pass an entrance exam. ”
Yuan Yicheng: "Then why doesn't Wanbao need to take the test, just become your personal disciple!"
Fourth Elder: "What are you anxious about! Everywhere you target Bao'er, the thief's heart will not change." Bao'er is my own disciple, yes, but he is not a disciple of the deacon of the Immortal Dao Ancestral Court! he is just like you, he will have to take the exam later!"
"I'll just briefly talk about the exam rules. ”
"The exam is very simple, just one and lasts for a month. Within this month, you will cross the primeval jungle of the 100,000-li demon clan and arrive at Xiting Bay, where someone will meet you. Those who survive are considered qualified. The other rules are, ask for more blessings! It's a brutal survival trial! If you don't get through, you'll be sleeping in the belly of the monster! The exam begins! The ship will explode in three minutes. ”
After the four elders finished speaking, they disappeared with the little brother Yuanying.
