Chapter 265 Disagreement
"Without the support of spiritual energy, the prehistoric mortal continent suffered severe erosion from chaos, gradually collapsing, shrinking, and converging to form the nine divine continents you see today."
"The Jiuzhou we are in is the legendary place protected by the ancestral gods. It has not been shattered with the end of the ancient mythology!"
Du Fang pondered:
"What you said is a little different from what I heard. People often talk about the shattering of the ancient world, but they only know that a major event happened ten thousand years ago. No one has described it in such detail as you did."
"What's the discrepancy?"
Bai Zhi asked him.
"The shattering of the primeval world you mentioned happened when this world suffered its third catastrophe. But from what I've heard, read, and heard from powerful cultivators, there's no mention of Jianmu collapsing. It's just that before the primeval world, there were saints who achieved enlightenment and ascended to heaven. After the shattering of the primeval world, that path was cut off. All the mighty ones in the Nine Continents are pursuing the pinnacle of the Nine Realms. What will happen after that leap to the extreme realm?"
Du Fang continued:
"But after seeing the immortal artifact Heavenly Secret Seal today, I'm basically certain that this was before the Great Desolation, that is, before the third calamity, more than 10,000 years ago. A true god or immortal who ascended to heaven cut off this path. Since then, it has been impossible for people in later generations to ascend to immortality!"
Du Fang continued to ask:
"These four tribulations of heaven and earth should be recorded in the ancient books of Longyuan and Lingxiao, right?"
"Yes!"
"But what you and I saw today is different from the classical techniques and the legends of the elders. Is that so?"
"So you mean..." Bai Zhi's expression suddenly changed.
Du Fang also became serious: "The historical records of all the sects in the Nine Divine Continents may have been tampered with ten thousand years later."
"Our history is fake?" Bai Zhi was a little confused.
"There is only one truth in history, but the truth has been covered up. If the history books of the mortal dynasties can be falsified, why can't the ancient books of the cultivation sects be falsified?"
"Who has such great magical power to do such a thing?"
Du Fang snorted coldly: "If all the cultivation techniques in the world can be taken away by the Heavenly Dao, why can't historical books and ancient texts be falsified?"
Bai Zhi murmured, "If the ancient records of the great sects of cultivation are wrong, then what do you think? Could it be that the shattering of the great wilderness ten thousand years ago was not true? It was the Emperor of Heaven..."
Her voice suddenly stopped:
"Those previous ascenders deliberately created chaos to cover up the truth of history!"
"possible!"
"Human Emperor Qiu saw through this conspiracy and fought for a glimmer of hope for the human race, paving a path for cultivation."
Du Fang talked freely.
"You and I have been inside Jianmen before. Before we knew the truth inside, we didn't know that Emperor Qiu slashed through the fairyland, swords rained down, and magic descended on the human world, right?"
"Yes!" Bai Zhi nodded immediately.
"The Human Emperor and Empress used magical instruments to build a small world, hidden behind the Sword Gate. Within the Sword Gate lies a black abyss, and hundreds of thousands of living beings and ghosts guard this secret..."
The more Du Fang spoke, the more serious his expression became:
"Only immortals, only immortals, no matter if they were in the Eighth Realm or the Ninth Realm, can bring the secret out of that tomb. Only I, who took over this sword, know this secret!"
Bai Zhi's face suddenly turned pale.
"Chang Qingzi was directly transformed into a Dao by the Dao of Heaven because he revealed the secrets of Heaven..."
"The truth of this world has been concealed by the true Heavenly Emperor of the upper realm. The cultivators and masters of the Nine Continents have no idea what the truth is!"
After Du Fang said this slowly.
Both of them fell silent.
After seeing the tragic scene of the immortal being angry and corpses floating everywhere, I knew that the Emperor of Heaven was a real living creature and had seen that terrifying power.
All the beliefs that the two had built up in the previous half of their lives began to waver.
After a long time, Bai Zhi whispered:
"Did you see what you said, or just guess?"
"All!"
In fact, some of this history was something Du Fang had heard before, some was something he had seen in Lingxiao Sword Pavilion, and some was something he had heard from low-level evil cultivators. These people did not join the sect, and almost all of their cultivation techniques were learned from the mountains and wilds.
He has lived in Zhongzezhou all year round, which is the smallest and most remote town in Nancangzhou.
We only know a few things about this ancient myth.
Until he carried the heavy burden, entered Jianmen, and saw the style of the Human Emperor, and the world hidden in the painting.
After seeing the true power of the immortal today, all the disjointed thoughts seem to be connected.
Therefore, he asked Bai Zhi to tell the history recorded in ancient books.
It turned out to be just as he guessed.
The ten thousand years of history of the Nine Divine Continents may have been modified by some powerful god to cover up some earth-shaking fact.
Otherwise, it cannot be explained why, after the strong men of Jiuzhou reach the peak of the ninth realm, no one can achieve immortality.
Bai Zhiruo was thinking, and as if to verify his guess, she continued:
"A few days ago, we witnessed the battle between the three clans of Jinghai. The Dragon Locking Nail and the Heart-Confusing Dust they used were all cultivation techniques from the prehistoric era, products from over 10,000 years ago!"
"Yes, you saw how powerful it was!"
Thinking of these horrific creatures and the cruelty they inflicted on the strong, Du Fang's heart couldn't help but shrink.
"So, I speculated that when the Primordial Era came to an end, the spiritual energy dried up, the techniques were shattered, and the last emperor of the human race slashed through the Immortal Realm and bestowed the way of sword cultivation upon all races. Later..."
"Later, prodigies emerged among the human race. Brilliant and talented individuals began to repair and create techniques to control weapon spirits. With the help of weapon spirits, they re-cultivated and walked into another world."
"This is the cultivation method for the first to ninth realms that we are practicing now!"
"If your guess is true, then this world is too cruel!" Bai Zhi's voice was extremely uncomfortable.
"According to the ancient records of the Longyuan Sword School, after the Great Desolation was shattered, the spiritual energy became very thin. As a result, all the powerful cultivators in this world were trapped in the ninth realm."
Du Fang smiled bitterly:
"One is caused by the environment, the other is caused by humans! Could that catastrophic destruction have been deliberately created by an ascender in order to cut off the path to ascension?"
"That's very likely, you guessed right!"
Bai Zhi's eyes gradually became clear and bright as she looked at Du Fang:
"You are truly very intelligent. If what you said today is true, then you are truly extraordinary to be able to come up with all this just by guessing!"
Du Fang curled his lips and smiled:
"Many people have guessed this, not just me. All the strong men who have entered the Ninth Realm would probably guess this. What about Dong Huang of the Tiannan Sword Sect and the deceased Li Moyang and his wife? Who knows about their synthesis?"
"Even the two great pillars of the country, Chang Ying and Su Shang, must have known about this history, but they just didn't publicize it!"
"Why are you so sure these people must know?"
"Because they've set their sights on my Spirit of Luck, they're willing to risk a war to find it. And there's also the Tianlong clan. Long Xiong knows that the Spirit of Luck is essential for reaching the pinnacle of the Nine Realms and the ultimate leap. All the powerful Tianlong clan members must also know this."
"These people rule the Nine Continents and possess countless information that ordinary people cannot access, yet they keep it secret!"
"It was these people who cut off the immortal bridge of the female cultivators!"
This is earth-shattering information.
The road to immortality was cut off by the enlightened ones before the ancient times, who cut off the path to ascension for the powerful cultivators later on.
After the shattering of the primitive world, the spiritual energy became thin and could no longer give birth to such ancient powerful beings.
Therefore, in the world of Jiuzhou, cultivators can only cultivate to the peak of the ninth realm.
On the road to ascension, the Bridge of Eternal Life was broken in the battle in the ancient times!
Du Fang pondered for a while and said, "I heard the Ghost Clan's Donghuang Mantra chant, and there's a line about the evil god reviving. Could it be that the Primordial Era has returned? Is spiritual energy beginning to revive?"
"I don't know, I hope so! I'm just afraid it will turn for the worse." Bai Zhi shook her head.
The two were silent for a while.
Bai Zhi wanted to leave, so she asked again:
"Is there anything else you haven't figured out?"
"There are many, such as the Sage of Heaven and Earth. Is that a human? Is he a powerful being even higher than the Five Heavenly Emperors?"
Bai Zhi bit her lip. This question completely exceeded her knowledge.
"This is the ultimate secret of this world. I don't know it. You can only wait for you to find the answer yourself!"
"But I know a little about the saints you mentioned. Just a little bit. A saint is the Way of Heaven. Since the beginning of heaven and earth, they have become one with heaven and earth. They represent the Way of Heaven. They are not human, not demon, nor immortal. They are the power of Heaven. Do you understand?"
"I don't understand! Are saints higher-level beings than immortals and true gods?"
Du Fang really couldn't understand.
"All I know is that before the Great Desolation, there was a historical period that some people call the Immortal Ancient Era. These three saints were the three spiritual energies that were generated after Pangu failed to create the heavens. They merged into the heavens and the earth. Therefore, our Heavenly Dao is intelligent. Immortal spirits like you are not tolerated by the Heavenly Dao, which means you are not tolerated by the saints."
"A saint is the living way of heaven?"
Du Fang seemed to understand something.
"That's about right. You said the Longyuan Sword Sect was cruel, absorbing ghosts and refining divine artifacts, but what you don't know is that in the way of cultivation, only after entering the seventh realm can it be considered the threshold. The spiritual veins of the Nine Divine Continents have long been exhausted. The higher you go, the more spiritual energy you need. Where do you think this spiritual energy comes from?"
"I don't know!" Du Fang shook his head again.
"It comes from people!" Bai Zhi talked freely.
Although this answer is cruel, Du Fang knows that it is true. The spiritual energy in the nine divine continents is thin, which means it is an era of spiritual energy depletion.
But the higher the cultivator becomes, the more spiritual energy he needs.
That’s why there aren’t so many strong people.
"This is a cycle. After the shattering of the primordial world, spiritual energy began to thin. All the races had the cultivation techniques left by the Human Emperor, but no spiritual energy to cultivate. So the great masters of the human race pondered and finally thought of the human race. Humans are the spirits of all races and are inherently spiritual. After death, they are buried under the grass, trees, mountains and rivers, and spiritual energy is born. This is the resource for future generations to cultivate!"
"So...so...in a few hundred years, when the spiritual energy generated by the corpses is exhausted, there will be a great war, causing the death of a large number of living things in order to replenish the spiritual energy?"
Du Fang helped her speak it out.
"Yes, the spiritual energy cultivated from human corpses can only support twenty-three emperor-level powerhouses. If there are more, it will not work. The world will be in chaos!"
This is the fundamental way for the seventh-level cultivators to return to the Dao and Heaven after their death.
Only in this way can the spiritual energy continue to circulate.
The entire Nine Divine Continents are like a cage, cutting off the path to ascension for all the strong men of all races, and locking them with twenty-three Heavenly Heart Seals.
Du Fang smiled bitterly:
This is his own origin and also the origin of the immortal spirit.
The secret of the immortals in the tomb of the Human Emperor is real.
"It's basically the same. This is the truth of this world and the logic of the way of cultivation. After death, the three souls and six spirits return to the underworld, and the blood, qi and corpse return to the nine continents. The two races of spirits and ghosts rely on the billions of lives in the ancient battlefield under the endless sea to cultivate."
Du Fang said in a trembling voice:
"Those seven great sword sects...those righteous sword sects, all use living people as training resources?"
