Chapter 479: Shangbao Qintie Ba! Prehistoric Emperor! Differences in Myths!
Seeing that the warning had no effect, Chu Yang not only didn't leave but approached at a faster speed, and the person in the river jumped out.
This was a young man who was extremely lean, like skin and bones, but very tall, very much like a bamboo pole.
Yet he held a huge weapon in his hand, which was pitch black all over. It was a pitch-black nine-toothed rake, and paired with this person's bamboo pole-like figure, it was really somewhat discordant.
Chu Yang's gaze first fell on the young man, then looked at the nine-toothed rake in his hand, and his eyes couldn't help but light up slightly.
Compared to the Demon-Subduing Stick, this nine-toothed rake was obviously more than one grade stronger.
The most important thing was that the moment he saw this nine-toothed rake, Chu Yang associated it with many things.
For example... Tianpeng! This name is almost a household name in Earth's China.
The many inheritances in the relic universe everywhere corresponded to the Heavenly Court immortals in Earth's China legends, so in Chu Yang's view, the inheritance of this Forbidden Land of Gods was likely related to that Marshal Tianpeng.
"This Forbidden Land of Gods already has an owner. If you don't want to die, leave immediately!"
The lean young man spoke coldly, holding the rake, looking at Chu Yang with slightly cold eyes.
Just at this moment, a stream of light quickly approached from far to near, and arrived in front of Chu Yang in the blink of an eye.
That was a clone!
Chu Yang didn't even look at it, just slapped it casually, and the clone shattered.
This scene made the lean young man's eyelids jump wildly, and he couldn't help but tighten his grip on the rake.
Chu Yang acted as if nothing had happened, laughing: "Don't be nervous, I came here to ask you some questions, and by the way, borrow the ancient god cultivation method left in this Forbidden Land of Gods to read."
"Just this?" The lean young man examined Chu Yang, looking suspicious.
If it were someone else, he wouldn't ask the purpose at all. As long as the other party didn't want to leave, he would take action to drive them away or kill them directly.
But the situation was different now; he couldn't see through the other party's cultivation, but just the fact that this person could slap a clone to pieces was enough to make him treat it with caution.
Seeing the lean young man like this, Chu Yang became more convinced of some of the guesses in his heart, nodded with a smile: "If I had malicious intent, why would I waste my breath with you?"
The lean young man's face changed, his words were full of confidence, but he had to admit that this person might be stronger than him.
Chu Yang looked down at the big river, then narrowed his eyes and said: "The Heavenly Dao origin suppressed here is indeed slightly stronger than other Forbidden Lands of Gods."
"It seems that the ancient god who left this Forbidden Land of Gods was not to be underestimated before his death..."
These words fell into the lean young man's ears, no different from a reassurance.
Chu Yang was telling him that he knew many things and knew the importance of the Forbidden Land of Gods, so he wouldn't mess around.
At the same time, it was also to make the lean young man understand that his strength far exceeded his imagination by pointing out the many special features here.
Sure enough, after Chu Yang finished speaking, the lean young man's eyes flickered for a moment, and he said softly: "Why don't we go down and talk slowly?"
Chu Yang nodded, then followed the lean young man to the river bank, looking at the big river that was as brilliant as stars, and asked softly:
"I don't know the name of the ancient god who left the inheritance here?"
The lean young man shook his head: "It is not recorded in the inheritance, but I can be sure that in this relic universe, every ancient god who left an inheritance cannot trace their name and identity."
"They seem to not want future generations to know..."
Chu Yang nodded, which was about the same as his guess, and then asked: "It seems that all prehistoric ancient gods rely heavily on Dharma artifacts, and the core part of the inheritances they left behind is also Dharma artifacts."
"Do you know the reason?"
Chu Yang stared at the lean young man. When he encountered inheritors before, he also raised this question, but no one could answer it.
The lean young man was silent for a moment, but his silence made Chu Yang's eyes light up.
Not denying it directly meant that the other party must know the truth, or had mastered part of the clues.
In fact, from the moment the two met, Chu Yang had been testing this point.
He proposed to borrow the cultivation method in the ancient god inheritance to read, and the young man not only didn't refuse but showed a look of relief.
This shows that in the young man's eyes, the cultivation method is not important, or he hasn't discovered the importance of the cultivation method yet.
On the contrary, the other party kept holding the nine-toothed rake tightly, as if afraid of being snatched, which shows that in the inheritance, compared to the cultivation method, he attaches more importance to the Dharma artifact.
After a long while, the lean young man suddenly asked in a deep voice: "You are not an inheritor?"
Chu Yang raised an eyebrow: "Inheritors all stay in the Forbidden Land of Gods. If I were an inheritor, how could I walk around at will?"
The young man shook his head: "There is nothing absolute. Someone once accepted the inheritance but did not inherit the ancient god's will and released the Heavenly Dao origin."
Chu Yang was stunned. Could this guy be talking about Ao Ting?
Or...
Have his actions during this period been known to the inheritors in the relic universe? But immediately, Chu Yang denied this guess.
Because he had no doubt that if the inheritors knew what he had done during this period, they would inevitably be united and regard him as the number one enemy.
Under these circumstances, how could the lean young man talk to him calmly here? Whether it was ancient gods or inheritors, they had paid various prices to find ways to suppress the Heavenly Dao origin.
As a result, there was a person who was "destroying" the Forbidden Land of Gods everywhere in the relic universe, constantly releasing the Heavenly Dao origin, how could they tolerate it?
Thinking about it, Chu Yang said: "I am not an inheritor, but I have seen the Green Lotus Heavenly Dao."
Hearing this, the lean young man's face changed suddenly, and then he looked at him with burning eyes.
Seeing his reaction, a smile flashed in Chu Yang's eyes. He had said the same thing to other inheritors, but those people didn't know the inheritance of the Green Lotus Heavenly Dao at all.
It seems that this young man who suspected he had accepted the Tianpeng inheritance knew a lot of secrets! Chu Yang's words dispelled the young man's last doubts. He didn't hesitate anymore and said directly:
"Just as you guessed, the key to the ancient god inheritance lies in Dharma artifacts or arrays."
"Before accepting the inheritance, I knew nothing about prehistoric things. However, after accepting the inheritance, I learned some prehistoric secrets through the inheritance."
The lean young man paused and continued: "In prehistoric times, there was an extremely powerful cultivator."
"I don't know his name, but I know that all the ancient gods called him the Emperor."
"The lifelong pursuit of a cultivator is to fit the Heavenly Dao, but the higher the realm, the more one will understand that the Heavenly Dao is unkind."
"To fit the Heavenly Dao, one must give up many things, and even humanity and emotion."
The young man looked at the big river, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth: "But in that case, what is the difference from becoming a puppet of the Heavenly Dao?"
"However, many people cannot reach that level in their entire lives."
"But prehistoric geniuses emerged in large numbers, and there would always be powerhouses who reached the realm of harmony with the Dao." "Most people chose to compromise; they gave up everything for power."
"Only the Emperor is different!"
Speaking of this, a flash of fanaticism and reverence flashed in the young man's eyes, as if murmuring: "He went against the sky and opened up a broad road for all future cultivators!"
"He snatched a portion of the Heavenly Dao origin and merged with it, but he did not become a puppet of the Heavenly Dao, but instead controlled that portion of the Heavenly Dao origin power."
"When prehistoric cultivators learned that they could become stronger without losing anything, they all regarded the Emperor as a god."
Chu Yang frowned. Hearing this, he already understood many things.
That Emperor was indeed a talent, but Chu Yang did not agree with the "becoming stronger without losing anything" that the young man said.
On the surface, the Emperor didn't lose anything, and even turned over to be the master, controlling a portion of the Heavenly Dao origin.
But did he really not lose anything? Were the prehistoric ancient gods the same?
The appearance of the Emperor became a thorn in the eyes of the Heavenly Dao!
Precisely because of this, the Heavenly Dao launched life extinction, trying to delete the save file and start over! So in the final analysis, it was the Emperor's going against the sky that triggered a series of subsequent things.
However, this Emperor was indeed extraordinary, and even played against the Heavenly Dao, trying to win half a game against the sky. Although he failed in the end, he also preserved the unknown universe.
If not for this, I fear those ancient gods who went against the sky would have lost everything in the true sense! The young man took a deep breath and finally said the most critical secret: "However, the Emperor soon discovered that what he could do, others could not."
"So he thought of a way, which is to refine Dharma artifacts! Construct arrays!"
"He used his own power to forcibly snatch the power of the Heavenly Dao origin and integrate it into Dharma artifacts or arrays."
"Although he could only snatch one wisp each time, it was enough for the ancient gods to use the Dharma artifacts or arrays he refined to bypass the Heavenly Dao and forcibly merge with the Dao!"
These words of the young man were an unexpected joy for Chu Yang. He didn't expect that the source of Dharma artifacts and arrays came from that Emperor.
Thinking about it carefully, whether it is the relic universe, the Forbidden Land of Gods, the Green Lotus Heavenly Dao, or the Dharma artifacts and arrays that serve as the foundation of the ancient god inheritance, all are related to that prehistoric Emperor.
Chu Yang suddenly had a feeling, as if that prehistoric Emperor was using the unknown universe as a chessboard and countless living beings as pieces to play against the Super-God Heavenly Dao! What a talented person! What a high-spirited person! But there is another key question...
That is, where did the prehistoric Emperor get the inspiration to refine many Dharma artifacts and arrays?
Now Chu Yang has connected the broken history and figured out all the historical truths and the greatest secret of the unknown universe.
The final result is that Earth comes from the unknown universe, and the myths and legends on Earth started because of that Emperor.
But whether it is myths and legends, or many Dharma artifacts and arrays, all correspond to the legends Chu Yang knows and the power of 【Heavenly Gate】.
If you say this is a coincidence, Chu Yang will not believe it no matter what.
Glancing at the lean young man, Chu Yang asked softly: "What is the name of this Dharma artifact of yours?"
The young man was stunned, and then his eyes became more vigilant, holding the nine-toothed rake tightly, but he still answered: "Shangbao Qintie Ba!"
Chu Yang secretly said "as expected," but immediately he was stunned.
It seems that something is wrong... but he couldn't remember it for a while...
Frowning, Chu Yang fell into deep thought, and only after a long while did his eyes light up.
This name is not right! Nine-toothed rake, also known as Shangbao Qin Jin Ba, also known as Shangbao Xun Jin Ba.
But what the hell is Shangbao Qintie Ba?
Thinking of the name of the Demon-Subduing Stick, Chu Yang knew that this nine-toothed rake was likely a defective copy.
But thinking about it, Marshal Tianpeng is one of the four saints of the North Pole, and the head of the four saints of the North Pole, his weapon...
Wait!
Chu Yang's pupils shrank suddenly, and then his expression became solemn.
He seemed to have ignored a key question all along.
Or rather, before figuring everything out, he hadn't considered this aspect.
And this question is that in the Super-God universe, the myths and legends of Earth's China have some differences from the myths and legends Chu Yang knows.
In short, in the Earth's China legends of the Super-God universe, the legends mentioning the Heavenly Court and Underworld systems are only Journey to the West! In fact, on the surface, there is no big difference, and the previous things related to legends did not reflect the differences.
But it's different now!
In the myths and legends of Earth, there is no such thing as the Three Pure Ones and Six Emperors!
So this Tianpeng is not that Tianpeng, and the two are worlds apart.
Where did Earth's legends come from?
The prehistoric Emperor of the unknown universe! It gave Chu Yang a feeling that no matter where that so-called prehistoric Emperor knew these legends, he seemed to be a half-baked person who didn't know much.
This discovery made Chu Yang deny a previous guess.
He previously thought that the prehistoric Emperor was likely a transmigrator, so he would know these legends.
But now it seems that this is probably not the case.
If he were a transmigrator, as long as he had some understanding of the legends, it would be impossible for the Earth's China legends of the Super-God universe to be so single and one-sided.
The originally clear situation became confusing again as Chu Yang's understanding of prehistoric times became deeper.
And the root of everything lies in that prehistoric Emperor! Withdrawing his thoughts, Chu Yang looked at the lean young man and asked: "In the relic universe, does the inheritance of that prehistoric Emperor exist?"
The young man shook his head: "I don't know, but I think even if it exists, I fear no one can control the power left by his inheritance."
Chu Yang smiled and said nothing more.
In the eyes of the young man, or in the eyes of all the informed inheritors and the prehistoric living beings of the unknown universe, that Emperor was an insurmountable existence.
Experience determines vision; they have not seen more powerful and talented existences.
So in their view, the Emperor who opened the precedent was the strongest and could not be surpassed.
Thinking about it, Chu Yang took a deep breath and asked: "Have you heard of Sun Wukong?"
"Or... Walker... Great Sage Equaling Heaven... Fighting Victorious Buddha!"
Chu Yang stated all the titles of Sun Wukong in one breath. This was also the only thing among the many prehistoric secrets that he hadn't figured out besides the Emperor.
Since the technology of the unknown universe has always been stagnant, how did the prehistoric living beings hide Sun Wukong's genetic code in the legends of Earth? (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 480 =====
