Chapter 814: Secrets Covered by Gods

Following the emergence of the bitter voice, Xu Qing's mind instantly stirred up waves, and a memory that did not belong to him rose in his heart.

This memory was fragmented and not coherent, like a puzzle.

Because a lot was missing, even if it floated in Xu Qing's heart, it was still difficult to piece together too many complete meanings.

Only one cognition was relatively clear, revealed from these memory fragments.

The Yan Yue Xuan Tian Clan, in the endless years ago, before the gods descended, was the period of the Ancient Emperor Emperor Xuanyou; its name... was not this.

This clan's former name was the Xuan Tian Great Witch Clan! It was one of the most important allies under the Ancient Emperor Emperor Xuanyou, and also one of the most powerful supporting clans of the human race.

The relationship with the human race was extremely close, and they fully supported the Ancient Emperor Emperor Xuanyou in ascending the throne and unifying Eastern Wanggu.

Even in the period of the Ancient Emperor Xuan, this Ancient Emperor and the Ancestral Witch of this clan at that time were life-and-death friends; before they each achieved their peak, they were partners and close friends, saving each other from life and death many times.

That Ancestral Witch's strength was astonishing and could be called the left and right arm of Emperor Xuanyou, making great contributions to the Ancient Emperor's unification of Eastern Wanggu.

The name of the Ancestral Witch's only son was also bestowed by the Ancient Emperor Emperor Xuanyou; this cognition floated in the memory fragments and was reflected in Xu Qing's perception, making his heart shake, and he opened his eyes that had been closed, revealing suspicion.

"Yan Yue Xuan Tian Clan, Xuan Tian Great Witch Clan..." Xu Qing's breathing was slightly rapid; whether in the Human Emperor's Capital or in this Yan Yue Xuan Tian Clan, he had never seen an introduction to this history.

And now looking back, the records of the Yan Yue Xuan Tian Clan and the human race could only be traced back to the defeat in the period of the Emperor of the Eastern Victory Human Race; as for the previous history, there was none.

It seemed that both sides had unconsciously erased the history of the Ancient Emperor Emperor Xuanyou period.

But unexpectedly, no one thought of it, no one paid attention to it, and no one traced it back, as if the blank memory was reasonable.

This was incomparably eerie.

"Cognition, affected!" These five words instantly floated in Xu Qing's mind.

"Being able to affect two clans for such a long period of time must be the power of gods."

Xu Qing was silent; his mind floated to the Yan Yue Xuan Tian Clan; afterward, he carefully organized the memory fragments reflected in his own heart after the first skull was fished out; although it was still difficult to grasp the specifics, he had extra guesses about this Jiu Li Forbidden Zone.

"The 'Father Witch' mentioned in that sentence is probably the Ancient Emperor Emperor Xuanyou and that close friend, which is the Ancestral Witch of this clan at that time."

"Zi Li means that the Ancestral Witch's son, named Li..."

"This name was also bestowed by the Ancient Emperor Emperor Xuanyou, and this place is the Jiu Li land."

Xu Qing's heart was surging.

"Could it be that Jiu Li is not a fierce beast, but the son of the Ancestral Witch of the Xuan Tian Great Witch Clan?"

"Then his sentence 'failed the Xuan Tian Great Clan'..." Xu Qing lowered his head to look at the silt under his body, his gaze seemingly able to penetrate a thousand zhang to look at the suppression below.

"Is that bone mountain formed by ashes the remains of Jiu Li?" Xu Qing was silent; for this Jiu Li land, he rarely felt curiosity.

A moment later, he withdrew his thoughts and perceived the purple crystal; inside this crystal, a skull was clearly floating, shining eerily there.

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes, looked up at the bronze incense burner above his head, and soon, he made a decision; his right hand raised and waved violently, instantly dispersing the smoke rings emitted by the bronze incense burner.

The isolation power of the smoke rings also disappeared, and the gray mist flowing in the surroundings pounced instantly; but an eerie scene appeared.

Those mists, after approaching Xu Qing, although the suppression of divine power and cultivation was still terrifying, the invasion of Xu Qing's flesh and soul actually decreased!

It was just that the feeling of causal entanglement was even stronger, making Xu Qing's connection with this place incomparably close, as if he were about to become one and inseparable.

Xu Qing perceived for a long while, his eyes revealing sharp light; he pointed his hand, the smoke rings fell, and the isolation formed again; his cultivation and divine source in his body also became active again.

"This piece of gray mist from Jiu Li is incomparably domineering, excluding everything, making all cultivators who step into this place unable to leave."

"But I merged a skull, so I am no longer completely different from the gray mist here, so... I am considered half-source?"

"Then if I can fish out all nine skulls and become completely the same source as the gray mist here, the gray mist will no longer be a restriction for me."

"That way, the causal connection will also reach the extreme, and the gray mist might not let me go..."

"But what if I take the gray mist with me!"

Xu Qing muttered, afterward, he closed his eyes again to recover himself.

Just like this, time passed; a few days later, Xu Qing opened his eyes; the cracks in his sun corona were fewer, and he perceived that his fishing for the moon in the well could be unfolded again.

Xu Qing did not have any hesitation; he stood up and, following the position in his memory, walked to the second patch of silt where the skull was buried deep. There, he raised his hand to form a seal, and the brown flame appeared once again, burning the Red Mother-colored flesh and blood. Very quickly, drops of liquid fell, the silt dissolved, and the small hole appeared.

Having had one successful experience, for Xu Qing, repeating the previous success was relatively easy; although the consumption of the sun corona and the impact on himself still existed, overall, Xu Qing succeeded more often; in his purple crystal, the number of skulls was already a full four!

Four skulls made Xu Qing's connection with this Jiu Li land reach an astonishing degree; he no longer needed the bronze incense burner.

The gray mist here, for him, had completely lost its invasion; it wandered around him, actually revealing a feeling of intimacy.

Even the suppression of gods and cultivators, he could also suppress to a certain extent.

This matter was unprecedented in the Yan Yue Xuan Tian Clan!

Even if Ji Dongzi were here and saw this scene, he would definitely be horrified to the extreme, unable to believe what he was seeing.

It was truly unimaginable!

Four, this was the limit of Xu Qing.

Because that brown flame of his, after burning continuously for more than half a month, extinguished.

Without the flame, it was impossible to burn Red Mother flesh to form golden liquid, making it difficult to melt the silt, unless Xu Qing could think of other ways; otherwise, if he wanted to continue, he could only sink down personally and enter the silt.

However, this idea, after he pondered, was still abandoned.

As he got closer and closer to the source, Xu Qing had a premonition that once he entered a thousand zhang under the silt, he feared he would be judged as Jiu Li by the divine shrine there...

And then be suppressed.

By that time, everything would have no hope; as for how to continue, Xu Qing didn't think about this problem for the time being.

Because the memory fragments contained in those four skulls were constantly piecing together in his mind, until a mystery that had been hidden for countless years, covered by gods, was unveiled in his heart, blowing the wind of the ancient times.

That was the story after the Ancient Emperor Emperor Xuanyou left; the Ancestral Witch of the Xuan Tian Great Witch Clan refused the invitation of his close friend Emperor Xuanyou, refused to leave Eastern Wanggu, refused to leave his hometown.

The two sides had rare disagreements in their lives regarding the matter of gods.

And the moment the Ancient Emperor left and the divine remnant face arrived, the heavens and earth were dark and blurred; accompanied by the appearance of the remnant face, one terrifying god after another.

That day, the Heavenly Dao cried, all living things wailed; these gods fell into the Eastern Wanggu continent, some fell into the remaining clans, some fell into hidden places, each setting off a catastrophe.

Among them, there was a god whose form was like a spider, walking out from the remnant face; its status was astonishing, surpassing most gods; wherever it passed, all gods bowed their heads.

And its goal was also very clear, which was the Xuan Tian Great Witch Clan, wanting to enslave this clan to become its believers.

The Xuan Tian Great Witch Clan, unwilling to be slaves, under the leadership of that Xuan Tian Ancestral Witch, spared no cost, spared no life, and fought with this god and other gods who followed it.

That battle, blood rain fell all over the world, the great domain collapsed, the Xuan Tian Great Witch, as a life-and-death friend of Emperor Xuanyou, his own strength was naturally terrifying, and his clansmen were also astonishing; the witchcraft they practiced was different from cultivators, each manifesting, some becoming giants, some becoming giant beasts.

That battle was earth-shattering.

The Xuan Tian Great Witch Clan died countless times, and gods also died in large numbers; divine corpses fell to the earth.

Finally, the Xuan Tian Ancestral Witch sacrificed his life and then heavily injured that spider-form god who was worshiped by all gods, and he himself fell, turning into the Absolute God Witch Array, isolating all divine power, covering his clan, and protecting his clan.

Before he died, he passed the position of Ancestral Witch to his only son, letting him uphold the belief of the Xuan Tian Great Witch Clan, for the clan, against the gods; his son was named Jiu Li.

Jiu Li was sad, but in this era, in a world filled with gods, what he inherited was not only the position of Ancestral Witch and the belief of the clan, but also the responsibility.

Thus, he led all the remaining Great Witches in the clan, outside the Absolute God Array, and continued to fight with the gods, not retreating half a step, and not returning to the clan for a day.

For the Xuan Tian Great Witch Clan, Jiu Li was a qualified Ancestral Witch, because under his and all the Great Witches' confrontation with the gods, time passed.

Within the territory of the Xuan Tian Great Witch Clan covered by the Absolute God Array, the clan gained time to recuperate; gradually, a new generation of witch cultivators began to appear, and among them, there was one whose aptitude was stunning, and even possessed the style of a leader.

Because the Ancestral Witch was fighting outside, he almost became a legend, and the clan also needed to adapt to the changes of the era; thus, this one was given high hopes and stood out in the clan to become the first Great Secretary of the Xuan Tian Great Witch Clan!

The Ancestral Witch is in the sky, managing the destiny! The Clan Leader is in the mortal world, managing the mortal power! Hence, the Great Secretary.

The memory ended here.

Xu Qing opened his eyes, his expression incomparably complex, because he thought of the information about Jiu Li he had seen in the Holy City of the Divine Mountain.

"The number one fierce beast in the Mountain-Sea Domain, named Jiu Li!

This beast's status in the Yan Yue Xuan Tian Clan is very special, because in the history of Yan Yue, there has only been one instance of Jiu Li being subdued.

That was the first Clan Leader of the Yan Yue Xuan Tian Clan in those years, and also the Great Secretary who led this clan to rise; his mount was Jiu Li." ===== CHAPTER 815 =====

"The number one fierce beast of the Mountain-Sea Great Domain, its name is Jiuli!"

This beast's status within the Yanyue Xuantian Clan is very special, because in the history of Yanyue, there has only ever been one instance of a Jiuli being subdued.

That was the first Clan Leader of the Yanyue Xuantian Clan back then, who was also the Great Administrator who unified and led this clan to rise; his mount was the Jiuli.
