Chapter 769: Ji Family Ancient Texts, Human Emperor's Ancestry

Chen Xun didn't ask any more questions. He leisurely took a sip of his health tea, realizing that his future path to immortality would have to be explored on his own, without any guidance.

However, both he and Black Bull had reached a level where there were no clear distinctions in realms. They had begun to walk their own path of immortality, yet they still needed to seize a large amount of immortal resources.

Just sitting here trying to comprehend the Dao was torturous and would only lead to loneliness. Neither he nor Black Bull were the kind of prodigies who could understand everything in a flash or comprehend the Dao in their dreams.

"Young one," Frog Daoist suddenly spoke, his eyes gleaming with wisdom. "Which law are you cultivating? Perhaps I can offer you some guidance."

"The Five Elements Law."

"Hahaha..." Frog Daoist burst into laughter, his gaze sharpening as he exclaimed, "Nonsense!"

"This path cannot be opened; it can only be borrowed. Cultivators who attempt to open this path face the backlash of heaven and earth, and none survive. It is a forbidden path for cultivators."

"Heh."

Chen Xun sneered, already retrieving an ancient book from his storage ring.

Frog Daoist's eyes widened, stretching his neck to get a better look at the book, uncertain and taking another glance.

"Frog, do you recognize the script of this ancient book?" Chen Xun pointed at it, deliberately showing it off. "This book was a gift from my senior brother, something that can only be opened with bloodline."

Frog Daoist's eyes narrowed to slits, his frog hands shaking rhythmically.

His expression was more serious than ever as he spoke solemnly, "Where did you get this, from a small boundary?"

"Yes."

"Direction."

"The Great World of Taiyi, Xuanwei Heaven domain, near the Void Land of the Mengmu Sea Region."

"Your senior brother's surname."

"Ji."

"......"

Frog Daoist's mind buzzed at the mention, goosebumps rising all over his body as he trembled, "Young one... did you escape from a small boundary?!"

He emphasized the word "escape," his eyes filled with shock, as if lost in distant memories.

"The ancient book mentions that the Ji family is a major clan of the grand world. I can only understand this basic information, but it seems someone has added more information to this book."

Chen Xun frowned slightly, asking, "What's wrong with the Ji family, and what's wrong with Bull and me escaping from there?"

"The Ji family, during the Era of Great Slaughter among the Myriad Clans, was the original clan of the Human Emperor..."

Frog Daoist took a deep breath, staring intently at Chen Xun, his voice low and growling, "What do you think is wrong?! Wasn't this ancient book supposed to have been obliterated in the Void Land?!"

"Explain clearly." Chen Xun's expression was calm, having suppressed the urge to act against this toad several times.

"This ancient book is a forbidden item from the last cycle of heaven and earth, the final hope condensed by the myriad clans of the grand world before the extinction of heaven and earth!"

Frog Daoist was extremely agitated, his frog hands constantly pointing at the ancient book, "It is now also a forbidden item of the essence of the great world, the Water Spirit Decision!"

"What?! What?!" Chen Xun finally couldn't hold back, standing up with a roar, startling Black Bull into straightening up.

There were no outsiders in or around the thatched hut, so it didn't matter.

"Young one, back then, the Ancient Saint Clan escaped the world-ending tribulation, transmitting information to the Three Thousand Great Worlds, and this item was the information transmitted by the myriad clans that did not escape extinction to the Three Thousand Great Worlds!"

Frog Daoist shouted along with Chen Xun, "This item was obtained by the human race. The Human Emperor, with extraordinary talent, was the only one to successfully cultivate the Great Thousand Creation Art from the ancient book, leading the declining human race to rise from the boundary, but there is still a lower part!"

"White Spirit once told me that the only legacy of heaven and earth is the Crane Spirit Treasure Tree, and the Water Spirit Decision is an innate immortal art passed down through this tree, still sealed and passed down among the beings of the grand world!"

Frog Daoist became more and more excited, a lotus leaf appearing beneath him as he stood opposite Chen Xun, "But this item shortens lifespan. What do you say about something that shortens lifespan?!"

"Filthy Longevity."

"Exactly! The damned ancient human race relied on the Human Emperor and the Water Spirit Decision to rise, creating the monster Filthy Longevity to guard the boundary, harming a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of their own. Who would have thought... it became irreversible, haha!"

"Damn it... Frog, was the ancient human race really that fierce?!"

"Of course, if the remaining races today weren't fierce back then, they would have been wiped out in the Era of Great Slaughter among the Myriad Clans long ago. Would it be your turn to be born?!"

"But who would have thought such a forbidden item would end up in your hands!"

Frog Daoist's expression was quite complex, a difficult-to-conceal excitement in his heart, "The Great Thousand Creation Art probably still exists in the Ji family, and the last three layers of the Water Spirit Decision... can accomplish earth-shattering feats."

"Back then, the myriad clans thought this item had been obliterated, forcing the ancient human race to swallow their pride. Who would have thought it was still passed down... amazing! And it ended up in the hands of this Daoist... no, you, young one!"

Frog Daoist was somewhat incoherent, his momentum continuously rising, "You can use this art to mobilize the billions of Filthy Longevity troops left from the Era of Great Slaughter among the Myriad Clans, but make sure it doesn't fall into the hands of the ancient human race."

"Frog, what do you mean?!"

"Because this art was thought to be obliterated, the cause and effect were severed, so the methods of the myriad clans to clear the small boundary were so merciful, as a gesture to the ancient human race. Who would have thought, who would have thought."

Frog Daoist seemed to have discovered some earth-shattering secret, chuckling lowly, "This Daoist now understands why the ancient human race dared to restart the grand world and heaven and earth. Truly one of the most insane races of that era."

"Reduced to the blood food of the myriad clans, easily bullied, suppressed for far too long, so that's how it is..."

Frog Daoist muttered to himself, never regretting fighting alongside the human race, only regretting serving that heartless Human Emperor, "They actually left such a huge hidden danger."

He took a sharp breath, fearing that the human race might fall into that same tragic situation again, and even contemplating dragging all the world's beings down with them... cunning bastards!

Frog Daoist was stunned, his expression quickly calming, his gaze turning towards Chen Xun... this kid seemed calm and rational, hopefully he wouldn't act recklessly.

After all, with the essence of the great world overseeing, Filthy Longevity entering the grand world could be obliterated at any time, and the current human race certainly wouldn't stand by his side.

"Can the Water Spirit Decision mobilize Filthy Longevity?!" Chen Xun's eyes suddenly turned cold, "Frog, this Dao Ancestor has read a lot, you can't fool me."

"The lifespan backlash of the ninth layer of the Water Spirit Decision can only be withstood by an immortal. That's difficult for you, aren't you complaining about having too much lifespan?"

"The countless human small boundary positioning, suppressing the essence of the great world, you can't do it either."

"This plan is the backup of the entire ancient human race, not something you can accomplish alone, so don't entertain any wild ideas."

Frog Daoist shook his head, waving his frog hands, sounding like an old sage, "This Daoist was so agitated just now because I figured out some things from back then, things that have nothing to do with you. This item, for you, is just a hot potato."

"This Daoist is considered an elder, some hardships you young one can't handle, I bear a deep-seated blood feud, my suggestion is, why not leave it to this Daoist..."

"Ribbit~~~ ah!!!"

Whoosh—

A large toad was blasted out of the thatched hut like a meteor, its features twisted in agony, sparks flying as it scraped through the air, looking as if it had been blasted out with all its insides.

White Spirit stood outside the Spiritual Medicine Garden, squinting slightly as something flew past, moving at incredible speed...
