Chapter 340

"Speak! What exactly happened?"

Chu Yang sat down on his butt beside Sun Wukong and raised his hand to take out 【Heavenly Gate】.

【Heavenly Gate】 hovered above Sun Wukong's head, strands of white light falling down, steadily suppressing the blood-colored radiance faintly emanating from Sun Wukong's body.

Following this, the scarlet-as-blood color in Sun Wukong's pupils also gradually faded, eventually turning light red, and his long-tensed body also relaxed significantly.

Sighing, Sun Wukong smiled bitterly: "After parting with you in the Central Continent back then, I went to the Beast Domain."

"I was ambushed by someone while competing for a relic treasure and nearly lost my life."

"However, I eventually seized the treasure. After I recovered from my injuries and digested what I had gained, I went to that beast race that had ambushed me to seek revenge."

Speaking to this point, Sun Wukong paused, a hint of regret in his tone, and added:

"I wiped out that beast race, but because of this, I accumulated too much killing intent, and my reason was nearly crushed."

"In a hazy state, under the pull of my killing intent, I inexplicably came here..."

"Had I known this would happen, I, Old Sun, would never have started a massacre that day no matter what!"

Although his killing intent was heavy, it was only because the clone had infinitely magnified a certain personality of Sun Wukong, rather than him being bloodthirsty without cause.

To give a simple example, he was like a Killing God on the battlefield, but outside the battlefield, he would not slaughter the innocent.

Therefore, Sun Wukong was naturally quite regretful about being controlled by his killing intent.

Chu Yang narrowed his eyes and asked: "I see this world is lifeless; you wouldn't have killed all the living beings in the entire world, would you?"

Sun Wukong was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, pointed to the Golden Hoop Mark on his forehead, and said:

"Although I, Old Sun, was influenced by the killing intent at the time, I did not completely lose my reason, not to mention there was still the Buddha Nature in my bloodline."

Chu Yang did not say more, but waited quietly for the rest; since Sun Wukong had not been completely controlled by the killing intent, there was clearly another reason for him ending up in this state.

Sun Wukong glanced at a stone sculpture in the great hall, sighed again, and said:

"After coming here, I suppressed the killing intent and looked for a way to go back."

"Finally, I inadvertently discovered an extremely unique inheritance here and learned the history of this world."

"This world once had countless powerhouses, but it was invaded by the Demon Tribe. In the end, to expel the Demon Tribe, ninety percent of the living beings of this world voluntarily sacrificed themselves, just to forge a Supreme Killing God through the Blood Sacrifice Method!"

"They succeeded, but they also failed."

Sun Wukong's words did not continue, but Chu Yang had already guessed what happened next.

Success naturally referred to expelling the Demon Tribe, and that so-called Demon Tribe was eighty percent likely to be the Outer Evil Tribe.

As for failure, it was likely that the Killing God completely lost his reason and eventually slaughtered all the living beings of the entire world.

Sun Wukong took a deep breath and said: "At the moment of his fall, that Killing God regained his reason and left his inheritance here, hoping that later generations, after inheriting his legacy, would be able to find the source of the demonic chaos and pacify the Demon Tribe!"

"Once you resolve the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon tribe's affairs, we will meet at the Tian Yao Phoenix tribe."

A dream of five years; the many experiences in the dream had allowed Tang Huo'er to grow significantly. After confirming the direction of the East Dragon Island, she flew away.

Chu Yang stepped into a space wormhole and left the void space.

…………

Deep in the Beast Domain, a forbidden zone of life.

The reason this place is called a forbidden zone of life is that in the ancient era, several Beast Emperors fell here without leaving a single trace.

Later, some wanted to investigate, but anyone who approached the secret truth would vanish into thin air without a sound.

Thus, this place became a forbidden zone for the top beast tribes. Even though there had been peace for the last thousand years, no one wanted to come here and look for trouble.

Walking through the forbidden zone, Chu Yang searched for the precise location using the coordinates provided by Pan Gu while pondering the matter of the Klein Bottle.

At first, he had intended to use the Klein Bottle to jump to the timeline five years later, but he discovered he had been too presumptuous.

Although doing so only changed the timeline he himself was on, fundamentally, it was no different from accelerating the entire Douqi Continent by five years.

To influence the timeline on such a large scale—let alone his current self, even if he reached the Sovereign Realm, he absolutely could not do it.

After all, no matter how independent the Douqi Continent was, it was ultimately a lower plane contained within the Great Thousand World.

Influencing the timeline of the Douqi Continent was equivalent to influencing the time of the entire Great Thousand World.

Although the power of the Klein Bottle was strong, it required sufficient energy to support it in order to be unleashed.

In the state of the Original Body of Martial Essence, Chu Yang's Primordial Qi reserves were even more profound than the Douqi reserves of an ordinary Dou Di.

Even so, merely influencing three time nodes had nearly drained his Primordial Qi.

And that was only for five years!

But if one only indirectly influenced a certain timeline of the past or future, the consumption required would be greatly reduced.

However, that had no great significance to Chu Yang, so overall, influencing time through the Klein Bottle was indeed a powerful ability, but not a practical one.

The power of the Klein Bottle went far beyond this. The team in the Soul Palace was still conducting further research and development; currently, they had only inferred the time-influencing function through Qiang Wei's use of the Klein Bottle in the original plot.

Putting aside his thoughts, Chu Yang stopped and looked at a barren mountain ahead.

This barren mountain looked unremarkable, but Chu Yang had discovered a unique spatial rift.

This spatial rift had the same effect as the spatial rift in the Northern Desert and could be considered a loophole in the spatial structure of the Douqi Continent.

Sun Wukong was inside!

"No wonder I couldn't contact the Black Tower..."

Chu Yang frowned. When he couldn't directly lock onto the precise location through the coordinates, he had vaguely felt something was wrong.

Now that he discovered Sun Wukong was in a spatial rift, everything made sense.

The other side of the spatial rift could be the Great Thousand World or another plane. The Black Tower was ultimately just a derivative version of Pan Gu, and its computing power was far less powerful than Pan Gu's, so naturally, it could not conduct cross-plane communication.

Along the way, Chu Yang had practically eaten grade-nine medicinal pills like candy, and his Primordial Qi consumption had long since fully recovered.

He waved his hand gently, and the space around the barren mountain began to tremble violently.

A moment later, a highly unstable space channel emerged. Even looking from afar, one could see the spatial storms raging within the channel.

To materialize a spatial rift and forcibly open a channel connecting to the outside of the Douqi Continent—perhaps only Chu Yang could do this in the entire continent.

Otherwise, why would the Douqi Continent have been "closed off" for thousands of years?

In Chu Yang's view, there were many suspicious points in the history of the Douqi Continent; these points had been glossed over by predecessors, with no records in history books.

First was that all the Dou Di vanished overnight. One didn't need to think to know that these people must have left the Douqi Continent.

But ever since then, the spiritual energy originating from the upper planes in the Douqi Continent had gradually dried up, which meant that from that time on, the Douqi Continent had been completely isolated from the Great Thousand World.

But who did this? One must know that the Great Thousand World had always faced the invasion of the Outer Evil Tribe. The Outer Evil Tribe couldn't do anything about the Great Thousand World, so they set their sights on various lower planes.

Yet for so many years, the Douqi Continent had remained safe and sound, not even seeing a shadow of the Outer Evil Tribe.

Even in the ancient era, only the Devouring Spirit Tribe likely had some connection with the Outer Evil Tribe.

This indicated that either some powerful existence among the ancient Dou Di of the Douqi Continent had set up a restriction that even the Outer Evil Tribe couldn't break.

Or perhaps the Outer Evil Tribe was unwilling to pay too high a price to break the restriction and invade the tiny Douqi Continent.

There was another possibility: those Dou Di of the past did not go to the Great Thousand World but died fighting to intercept the Outer Evil Tribe, and before falling, they joined forces to set up the restriction.

But regardless of which possibility it was, it showed that the ancient era of the Douqi Continent was extremely glorious and had once produced supreme geniuses.

But why were there no records of this in the Great Thousand World or among the Outer Evil Tribe? These matters were quite intriguing, just like the Super God world; the Douqi Continent had a historical gap that made it difficult for later generations to speculate.

Chu Yang always felt that the truth was likely related to the spatial rift. After all, with the Douqi Continent's spatial structure, which was even more stable than the Super God universe, spatial rifts shouldn't exist.

However, to figure out what was going on, he would have to wait until this matter was finished and take a trip to the Wild Ancient Domain.

Perhaps only the Bodhi Ancient Tree would know some things from those years.

Once the entrance to the space channel gradually stabilized, Chu Yang did not hesitate and flew into it.

Storms raged within the spatial rift, and countless spatial fragments swept through. Even if a peak Dou Sheng powerhouse entered, they would lose a layer of skin if they didn't die.

However, for Chu Yang, neither spatial storms nor spatial fragments posed a threat.

Ever since discovering the black crystal, Chu Yang had been filling Pan Gu's database. The database for the Douqi Continent was already tending toward perfection, and the spatial structure of the Douqi Continent had been comprehensively analyzed.

To put it plainly, the current Chu Yang could be called a master of the spatial level on the Douqi Continent!

Even if an ancient Dou Di of the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon tribe were reborn, they could not compare to him.

However, spatial rifts were full of randomness. As a loophole in the spatial structure of the Douqi Continent, any spatial rift could connect to multiple planes.

Chu Yang could only rely on Pan Gu's coordinate lock on Sun Wukong to distinguish the general direction.

After wandering in the spatial rift for several days, Chu Yang finally discovered an "exit" to a spatial rift.

And Sun Wukong was likely there!

Forcibly tearing open the tiny "exit" of the spatial rift, Chu Yang ignored the hellish scene behind him and stepped into it.

When he bathed in sunlight once again, Chu Yang immediately felt extremely rich energy.

Compared to the Douqi Continent, the energy here was at least ten times denser! Chu Yang found himself standing on a mountain peak. Looking into the distance, towering ancient trees could be seen everywhere, and the entire world was filled with an ancient charm.

But beneath this ancient quality was a dead silence that made one's heart panic.

There was not a hint of life, and even the vegetation was filled with deathly energy, not like living organisms.

Narrowing his eyes, Chu Yang locked onto a direction and was about to perform a spatial jump, only to find that the spatial structure of this world was actually far more stable than that of the Douqi Continent.

Slightly surprised, Chu Yang abandoned the idea of a spatial jump, his body turning into a stream of light as he flew away.

In an ancient, dilapidated hall, Sun Wukong was bathed in golden light, looking solemn and sitting cross-legged, appearing completely out of place with the entire world.

When Chu Yang arrived, he breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Sun Wukong unharmed.

Although Sun Wukong was only a clone, the two had spent a long time together, and naturally, a bond had formed.

Moreover, the clone's strength was not high; its strength lay in its potential. If Chu Yang wanted to cultivate another clone, it would undoubtedly take a long time.

Sun Wukong seemed not to have noticed Chu Yang's arrival, his eyes still tightly closed, like an old monk sitting in meditation.

"Getting more and more like the Victorious Fighting Buddha..." Chu Yang smiled, but then frowned immediately.

Because he discovered that although Sun Wukong was covered in Buddha light on the surface, beneath that light surged a killing intent that even he found somewhat wary! On the way here, Chu Yang had discovered that although this world had no trace of life, there were many traces left by intelligent life.

Such as the hall Sun Wukong was currently in.

This meant that this world was not like this before, but had experienced some kind of change that led to the extinction of life.

Thinking of this, Chu Yang couldn't help but have an absurd thought.

This clone of Sun Wukong was inherently murderous; could he have killed all the living beings in this world, wanting to prove his Dao through killing? Just as he was muttering to himself, the golden light on Sun Wukong's body suddenly surged, and a phantom appeared above his head.

Chu Yang recognized at a glance that the phantom was the original Sun Wukong from the Super God world! Because the aura was identical! Subsequently, the golden light rapidly converged, leaving a mark similar to a golden hoop on Sun Wukong's forehead.

Everything returned to calm, and Sun Wukong slowly opened his eyes, a pair of scarlet blood-red eyes looking at Chu Yang standing not far away.

He opened his mouth and made a hoarse sound, but could not speak.

After adjusting for a long while, Sun Wukong said in a raspy voice: "You... how did you find me?"

Chu Yang frowned and said: "If I hadn't come, you would likely have been controlled by your killing thoughts!" (End of chapter)

Chu Yang frowned; whether the reactions of these people were real naturally could not be hidden from his eyes.

Now it seemed that the high-level members of the Flower Sect indeed did not know about the matter of Hua Yu, and Pan Gu's coordinate lock on Yun Yun was indeed right in the Flower Sect.

But if Yun Yun was only there to send Hua Yu off, why could she not be contacted by him and Na Lan Yanran?

Chu Yang had originally thought that Yun Yun had fallen into the trap of the Flower Sect and been harmed by someone.

But now it seemed that this did not appear to be the case.

Thinking of this, Chu Yang looked at the high-level members of the Flower Sect and said with a smile: "It seems it really is a misunderstanding. I intend to walk around and look, I wonder if you all mind?"

Facing Chu Yang, how would the powerhouses of the Flower Sect dare to say no?

Thus, Chu Yang left alone, while the powerhouses of the Flower Sect politely welcomed Tang Huo'er into the mountain gate.

In front of a mountain peak deep within the Flower Sect, Chu Yang stopped for a long time, his gaze finally locking onto a cave halfway up the mountain.

With a flash of his figure, Chu Yang swept into it and walked slowly toward the depths of the cave.

The cave passage was narrow, but when he reached the end, it suddenly opened up, and a stone room leaped into his eyes.

Looking at Yun Yun sitting cross-legged in the center of the stone room, Chu Yang frowned.

Yun Yun appeared to have no abnormalities, but the biggest problem was...

She was a bit too normal!

Her breathing was even, her complexion rosy, yet she was not in a state of cultivation, as if she were asleep.

But Chu Yang clearly had not hidden his aura, and his footsteps while walking were echoing in the cave, yet Yun Yun had not the slightest reaction!

At this moment, Yun Yun made Chu Yang suddenly think of a "vegetative person."

Or rather... a living dead person whose body was unharmed but whose soul had been extinguished! (End of this chapter)
