Chapter 346

~11 min read 2,129 words

Because Chu He was defeated in the Autumn Battle that year, his wish to come into contact with the Little Little Tian Shu fell through. According to the captured ones, they didn't give up because of this.

Immortal fate was close at hand, far easier than sitting and cultivating, and the feedback obtained was more.

No one would be disappointed because of one or two failures; instead, they would be even more fanatical about it.

And under the arrangement of the Chu family and Li family, they began to secretly lay out the Heavenly Dao Assembly.

Whether it was Zhu Shun, Zhu Yao, Li Yunlang, Zhuang Zixin, or Zhuang You.

These seed players who were popular at the Heavenly Dao Assembly at that time were all walking onto the ring with unknown purposes.

They fought all the way, wanting to get a ranking at the Heavenly Dao Assembly, thereby entering the Sages' Holy Land.

Just like when arranging for Chu He to enter the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan, they also arranged for Du Zhu and Bai Rulong as backups. Besides these people, there were also some who failed the Heavenly Dao Assembly in the end, who actually had an inseparable connection with this matter.

For example, Ba Yang, You Bai, and others who broke through their realm before the competition were all escorts arranged to send them to win the top ten.

Actually, regarding this part, Ji You had already guessed it before.

Because when he chased all the way to Risheng City and saw Zhu Shun, Zhuang You, and others, he had a strong sense of déjà vu as when he stepped into the Sages' Holy Land together, and vaguely guessed that they should have done something in the Sages' Holy Land.

And this guess was confirmed in this confession, or rather, it was a more detailed supplement.

"Heavenly Dao is connected to the human race's luck, and human race's luck connects all living beings of the human race; this is known to all in the Azure Cloud World."

"But few people know that this is not a vague concept."

"The place where the human race and Heavenly Dao's luck intersect is the Ten Thousand Generations Peace Temple deep in the Sages' Holy Land, which was built by the seven sages of that year working together."

"Heavenly Dao relies on the race that controls the world, and its control over the human world also comes from the race's luck."

"In order to eliminate the annihilation power after taking the elixirs, we want to enter the Sages' Holy Land and cut off the most direct connection between Heavenly Dao and the human world, thereby liberating the ruins."

Ji You lowered his head and read this confession from Zhu Shun repeatedly many times.

He did have doubts that year, wondering why some people didn't concentrate on seeking the Dao after entering the Holy Land, but came and went in a hurry every day, and also wondered why the world's geniuses all wanted to enter the Sages' Holy Land, yet a few left early after coming to do something.

And the bigger doubt was in the later stage, when he felt the evil thoughts like those in Qiling in the Sages' Holy Land.

Now, these all had answers.

The most critical thing was that he had always not understood how the Chu family and others manipulated Heavenly Dao to allow the ruins' objects to appear in the world, thereby laying out everything in advance. Now, this mystery was finally solved.

Seeing him fall into deep thought, Zuo Qiuyang couldn't help but speak: "At that time, not long after you entered the Sages' Holy Land, blood mist filled the Mysterious Sea, followed by torrential rain for several months, and some grain production had shells but no cores. I think that was the Heavenly Revelation."

"A warning from Heavenly Dao?"

"You can understand it that way."

The purpose of the warning was naturally to hope it would be known, and there should be someone in this world who could read this matter.

However, there were no Night Watchers.

Ji You raised his head after thinking for a long time: "Does cutting off the luck just release the ruins, without other major disasters?"

Zuo Qiuyang shook his head: "The saying of luck has always been mysterious, and it's also very difficult for us to understand what it would cause besides liberating the ruins, and we don't know what way they said cutting off meant. Moreover, the Sages' Holy Land cannot be opened at present, so we have no chance to go and find out."

The Sages' Holy Land is a broken space, which can only automatically repair itself once every five years.

If it is forcibly opened when the repair is insufficient, then the entire space will turn into a void and cease to exist.

So regarding this part, it is very difficult for them to verify in a short time, let alone make up for it.

But just as Ji You asked just now, other Immortal Sects also had worries after seeing this confession.

Because according to Azure Cloud history, the legacy race was overthrown by the joint efforts of the demon race and the human race because they lost their luck, and finally the whole race was destroyed, while the human race was able to revive and stand for a thousand years.

The previous Demon Emperor also went to the Snow Region because of the so-called luck not being with their race, and swallowed a thousand years of wind and snow.

And now the human race's luck has been cut off, so whether they will follow in the footsteps of the legacy race and have the whole race destroyed, no one knows.

They can't even know whether the demon race and barbarian race successfully crossing the Northern Border and heading south all the way this time is also because Heavenly Dao has begun to protect them.

If so, then the human race that has lost its luck may not be able to escape the end no matter how they struggle.

"These demons really don't care about anything anymore."

"The temptation of Heavenly Dao is endless, and for them, if this matter succeeds, even if the human race is destroyed, they can still ascend in advance and obtain eternal freedom and auspiciousness, so naturally there is no need to worry."

Ji You rubbed his eyes suddenly at this time, feeling a burst of soreness in his eyes.

You Yingqiu was right, his spiritual power was very weak now, and even if he had rested for a day, he would still feel a burst of discomfort under continuous reading.

"It's a bit blurry in front of me, and there's some throbbing pain in my forehead. Please ask Hall Master Zuoqiu to help me orally narrate the remaining content."

"Okay."

Zuo Qiuyang picked up the remaining case files and spread them out one by one.

The Hall Master of the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan is a position of one person below ten thousand, holding heavy power, and even the Elders of the Elder Pavilion need to treat them with respect, let alone the status of a disciple.

But at this time, Zuo Qiuyang had an attitude of obedience; if others saw this, they would probably be shocked.

Because this feeling is really like a subordinate reporting to a superior.

"The subsequent matters are the same as what we guessed before. The Immortal Sect opening the ruins because of the Dao Fruit was itself a trap set by them."

"After the Qiling incident happened, all the ruins were guarded by the Immortal Sects, and they were difficult to approach. And the infant elixirs in their hands were almost exhausted. The purpose of entering the Sages' Holy Land to liberate the ruins' immortal fate was to let the Immortal Sects open all the ruins themselves."

"Dou Yuankong and the Bu family were all just leads."

Ji You raised his head after hearing this: "Dou Yuankong actually didn't go to the Bu family winery, right?"

Zuo Qiuyang raised his eyes: "You even know this?"

"After I killed Bu Qirong in the Dongping Mountains, I returned to the vicinity of the Bu family winery and asked the surrounding commoners. They said the Bu family winery had always been heavily guarded and didn't allow strangers to approach. Dou Yuankong didn't have that much ability."

"Correct, Dou Yuankong never went to the Bu family from beginning to end. He was invited by the Du family."

According to the confession, the families that joined forces to cause disaster had been planning to let the Immortal Sects develop greed for the ruins and open them themselves without being exposed after cutting off the human race's luck.

Thus, they joined forces to set a trap, using Dou Yuankong as bait and the Bu family as the hook.

Ji You returned from his mission to the Snow Region, and the first thing he did upon entering the capital was to behead the lion head of the Dou Mansion. This matter caused a great stir at the time.

Later, Dou Yuankong went missing, and Minister Dou blamed everything on Ji You, searching everywhere and also seeking help from many families.

To tell the truth, the disappearance of a Great Xia official's son actually wouldn't attract the attention of cultivators at all.

But the problem was that this matter was related to Ji You, and Ji You was already in the limelight in the Azure Cloud World at that time.

Perhaps it was for this reason that Dou Yuankong was chosen and traveled far to Qingzhou through the invitation of the Du family.

The head of the Du family confessed that they secretly threw Dou Yuankong into a corpse pit, let him witness humans turning into evil seeds with his own eyes, and left him around the Bu family, who had been chosen as pawns.

The role the Bu family played was indeed that of corpse transporters, and they were the most useless existence in their plan.

What they knew was all what the families that joined forces needed them to know, and as for what they shouldn't know, they knew nothing at all.

The scratch marks on Dou Yuankong indeed attracted the attention of the Immortal Sects, and the Bu family thus entered the sight of the Immortal Sects.

Under the original plan, the Bu family's combat power would increase, and the fact that they could alienate evil seeds would inevitably arouse the greed of the Immortal Sects, inevitably leading them to get to the bottom of it, and finally be led to the ruins.

But who knew that Bu Qirong didn't even have time to speak in the end, and was killed by Ji You under the eyes of countless Spirit Travel Realm experts.

Zuo Qiuyang looked at Ji You after saying this: "You rushed thousands of miles to the Dongping Mountains at that time and wiped out the Bu family. Actually, many people don't understand why."

"Because I didn't know about the ruins being liberated, I only knew that if the immortal fate in the ruins was to be brought out, infants would need to be harmed as containers."

"Just like that?"

"Isn't that enough?"

"It's not that it's not enough, it's just that you perhaps don't know that at that time, many people in the seven great Immortal Sects suspected that you were related to the disaster of the ruins, but didn't expect your reason to be so unexpectedly simple."

Zuo Qiuyang's words were not false. After Ji You risked his life to kill Bu Qirong, many people were suspecting his purpose, feeling that he was related to the Qiling disaster or would continue to be related.

In their view, if it wasn't like this, why would Ji You be so urgent to kill Bu Qirong to silence him.

Especially since Ji You's combat power was too strange, and even Elder Fang of the Boundless Realm couldn't beat him, which deepened this suspicion.

It's just that they never thought that Ji You's reason for killing someone would be so simple.

If this kind of reason were placed on someone else, Zuo Qiuyang would only reply with one sentence: nonsense.

But if placed on Ji You, remembering everything he had done in the past, it made him feel so real and beyond doubt.

"What about later? After Bu Qirong was killed by me, how was the Great Wilderness Forest opened?"

Ji You was unwilling to be investigated for his motives here and asked about the follow-up.

"Once human greed is aroused, it is very difficult to dissipate, especially for those whose lifespan is near exhaustion, it is even more impossible to give up because of this."
