Chapter 112: Five-Turn Golden Lotus

Guangyuanzi heard this, gave a bitter smile, and said.

"This little bit of scheming from others truly cannot be hidden from the Prefecture Lord.

It is precisely because great chaos is imminent that I am so deeply worried. After this catastrophe, I fear there will be no safe place left in this Renjie, the Underworld, or even the Heavenly Realm. The Renjie, in particular, will likely suffer the most tragically; after the great calamity, fewer than one in ten living beings will remain. That is why I sigh day and night, worried every single day.

I have been waiting, waiting for someone to whom I can entrust this, yet my hope has been shattered time and time again!

Fortunately, Heaven did not fail me; just as my soul was about to scatter, I finally waited for the Prefecture Lord.

I have come to pay my respects so presumptuously for only one reason.

That is, I only hope that after a hundred years, the Prefecture Lord will remember this small favor of mine and look after my descendants!

It would not be in vain for these hundreds of years of mine!"

However, Su Yuanshan hesitated for a moment after hearing this before speaking indifferently.

"I can understand the Immortal Friend's feelings, but as you can see now, I am already unable to protect myself, so how can I talk about looking after your descendants?"

Guangyuanzi smiled upon hearing this and said.

"The Prefecture Lord need not worry; this humble immortal has come precisely for this matter!"

He was seen stroking his beard as he asked.

"Ever since the Prefecture Lord entered this Taoyuan Xujing, have you felt a continuous sense of weakness throughout your body, and has this feeling become more intense and the situation more severe as time has passed?"

Su Yuanshan nodded slightly.

"That is exactly the case. Do you know the reason?"

Guangyuanzi was seen shaking his head.

"Although this humble immortal is not entirely clear on the specific cause, I suspect it has to do with the continuous weakening of the ancient sealing power here."

Su Yuanshan's eyes lit up, and he could not help but ask.

"Ancient seal?"

Guangyuanzi seemed somewhat puzzled and said.

"Does the Prefecture Lord not know that this Taoyuan Xujing is the place where successive generations of gods, immortals, and even the ancient gods and immortals of the Middle, Ancient, and Primordial eras, as well as innate sages and other powerhouses, sealed the successive generations of demon gods, the Demon Race, demon immortals, and even the fierce gods, ancient demons, and innate ancient devils of the Three Ancient eras?

It is not just this Taoyuan Xujing; countless demons are sealed within the Bai Xu, Qianxu, and even the Wanxu here!

To put it plainly, this Gumu Jinxu is a massive battlefield of gods and demons, spanning dynasties and eras, running through the past and present, east and west. This war between gods and demons, immortals and devils, will likely continue on and will never cease!

And we are currently at the center of the vortex of this great war; what is even more fatal is that it has already begun!"

Then he revealed an even more shocking scene, which made Su Yuanshan's eyes go dark.

Guangyuanzi was heard saying.

"What is even more fatal is that this kind of god-demon battlefield is not in just one place, nor is it in just one space-time!

It is not limited to one dynasty; it could be thousands or ten thousand dynasties, coming from countless eras.

And, well, you and I, and even our descendants, will inevitably be dragged into it. If one is strong enough, one might luckily survive, but if one is slightly weaker, I fear one will be stirred until not even dregs remain!

This is reality!

This is also why I have been filled with anxiety until my death.

The great calamity is approaching, the mansion is about to collapse, yet looking around, there are many who are petty and sycophantic, and many who scheme and intrigue for their own selfish interests,

but not a single person can focus on the big picture!

Therefore, there is no one before or after who can turn the tide!

Could it be that this Heaven intends to destroy us gods and immortals?"

Guangyuanzi wore a cynical expression, speaking passionately and forgetting himself. When he reached the emotional part, he actually burst into tears, leaving Su Yuanshan stunned.

He couldn't help but think that this guy's acting was better than his own; it was a pity he didn't become an actor.

But was Guangyuanzi really just performing? It seemed only he knew best in his heart; if it was a performance, it might also have been a true outpouring of emotion.

Yet Su Yuanshan listened with extreme calmness. He had heard such seductive speeches many times before; didn't his boss do the same when he was working in his past life, painting big pictures for him? But it was useless—in the end, he only got that two-thousand-yuan salary!

He thought to himself, sometimes when others paint a big picture for you, just let them paint it. If others have such passion to splash ink, why should you stop them? Everyone lives so tiredly, just let him splash away, but don't take it too seriously; if you take it seriously, you lose.

So Su Yuanshan just listened quietly without expressing any emotional remarks. He waited until Guangyuanzi finished speaking before asking.

"Immortal Friend, you just said you came for my matter; what does that mean?"

Upon hearing this, Guangyuanzi finally reined in his agitated emotions and, somewhat awkwardly, cupped his hands to Su Yuanshan and said.

"This humble immortal was just agitated, and I hope the Prefecture Lord will forgive me. You are right; I have come precisely for your matter!

This humble immortal does not have much time left, so I must keep it brief. The reason why the body continues to be weak, I suspect, is related to the loosening of the seals on those ancient demons and ancient devils. A sliver of demonic power leaks out and erodes everything around it. It can make those ghosts, foxes, spirits, and wild Great Demons become increasingly powerful and savage,

which is to say, they become more evil, stronger, and worse!

Of course, the erosion of gods and immortals seems even more severe; this might be the reason why you feel continuously weak.

Of course, this is just a guess of mine; whether it is specifically the case, this humble immortal is not sure.

But how to reverse this unfavorable situation? To tell the truth, this humble immortal is also at his wit's end, otherwise, I would not have fallen here!"

Su Yuanshan felt somewhat helpless after hearing this, thinking to himself, you talked for a long time and said absolutely nothing.

What use is that to me? It's purely a waste of my time!

He was just about to ask Guangyuanzi to send him out when he heard Guangyuanzi say again.

"Although this humble immortal is at my wit's end, however..."

Su Yuanshan couldn't help but frown upon hearing this, thinking.

However, my foot! Can you finish your sentence in one breath?

It's already burning my eyebrows; my body is almost at its limit!

Finally, Guangyuanzi spoke again.

"If you can find the Dharma treasure left behind by that senior here, the Five-Turn Golden Lotus, it might be of some help. I cannot guarantee whether it can reverse such an unfavorable situation, but at least it will be a little better!"

Five-Turn Golden Lotus? It sounded like a very useless Dharma treasure the moment he heard it! To be honest, Su Yuanshan felt a bit disappointed, as if he had suddenly discovered a suspected "white moonlight," but upon walking closer, it was just a "cinnabar mole."

That feeling of a direct strike to the soul, to the point where the soul shattered in an instant, left him somewhat dazed.

He truly wanted to curse, "How could you even do this!"

Seeing Su Yuanshan's face darken, his body tremble, and his fists even clench tight, Guangyuanzi could not help but ask with concern.

"Are you alright, Prefecture Lord?"

Su Yuanshan did not make a sound, and Guangyuanzi sighed and said.

"Before this humble immortal attained the Dao, my secular surname was Wen, and I lived at Wuling Shan!"

"In the future, if the Prefecture Lord encounters any descendants of the Wen family from Wuling Shan, I hope you will look after them a little; this humble immortal thanks you in advance!"

"Hey, wait a moment, wait a moment, that Five-Turn Golden Lotus, how do I find it? Where is it? Where is it, hey!"

However, before Su Yuanshan could finish speaking, Guangyuanzi's predestined limit had arrived, and in an instant, he vanished into thin air.

Su Yuanshan seemed to notice that Guangyuanzi had opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but nothing came out.

Su Yuanshan: "………………."
