Chapter 383: Bloody Secret Chamber

From the Infant Pill, to Qiling, to the ancestor of the Zheng family ascending to immortality, and finally to the Six Great Immortal Sects opening the ruins and disaster descending, the whole line is complete from the outside perspective.

But in reality, this complete line may not be without doubts from the perspective of the Pill Sect.

Because if it is said that the Zheng family ancestor's means of refining all living beings during his ascension came from soul-searching Yuan Caiwei, what about before?

Ji You said that Chu Xian told him before he died that when they first used the Immortal Fate from the ruins, they discovered that after absorbing the fruit of the ruins, they couldn't escape the ruins at all.

And after solving this difficulty by using infants as containers, they discovered that once they broke through the realm, they still couldn't escape annihilation.

So they used various people to test the medicine, reduced the dosage, and repeatedly absorbed it through human body purification. But the problem is, where did they think of these shocking means?

You must know that some things are very easy from front to back, but from front to back, it requires a long time to explore.

How they confirmed the human body's reaction and how they chose better methods because of different reactions cannot be explained by just one sentence of "accidental discovery."

When Danyangzi heard Ji You tell this part, he was very surprised that when they tested the Immortal Fate of the ruins, they were incredibly lucky to encounter problems and be able to solve them. They didn't take many detours, and they completed everything in a few years. He had even sighed at the unpredictability of the Heavenly Dao because of this.

Only at this moment did he feel that things were not that simple.

That's right, from the perspective of realistic logic, excluding those luck factors, only the Pill Sect could complete a whole series of drug experiments in a few years.

Because only the Pill Sect's alchemy and pill light can see clearly the role of external objects in the human body and distinguish between good use and poison.

"Senior Brother Abbot, what exactly is going on..."

"This is a story from a long time ago."

Patriarch Yuan Li looked at the memorial tablet placed at the highest position: "Have you ever heard of a person named Chu Zhan?"

Danyangzi and Dan Xunzi looked at each other: "Is that the fifth-generation Chu family ancestor who was dissected by the Profound Origin Immortal Mansion after death to study the Seven Orifices Exquisite Body?"

"It is him, but not after death; it was a live dissection."

"Live dissection? The Profound Origin Immortal Mansion actually dared to do such a thing that is intolerable to heaven and earth. Are they not afraid of the Heavenly Dao punishing them?!"

Patriarch Yuan Li raised his eyes when he heard Danyangzi's words: "When has there ever been retribution? And where is the Heavenly Dao?"

Danyangzi was instantly speechless.

That's right, no matter how the situation changed, before the millennium clans colluded to cause disaster, the Immortal Sects holding holy artifacts were still high above, and when had there ever been retribution?

"Then what does this have to do with our Pill Sect?" Dan Xunzi couldn't help but ask.

Patriarch Yuan Li looked at the dark night outside the window: "What kind of dissection does the Profound Origin Immortal Mansion know? They are only good at killing. Even if they could dissect Chu Zhan's body, how could they study their constitution clearly?"

Dan Xunzi's eyes trembled wildly: "Does the Abbot mean that we dissected Chu Zhan...?"

"To be precise, it was my father, who was the Abbot at the time, who dissected him. I was captured as a hostage at the time, and Chu Zhan's son, Chu Yu, was also at the scene..."

Patriarch Yuan Li's thoughts seemed to return to the night a hundred years ago in an instant, and his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of blood.

At that time, he was very young, even younger than Patriarch Yuan Li is now, and their Pill Sect had just emerged from the dark turmoil for a hundred years, and their vitality had just recovered.

On a spring night, when the moon was dark and the wind was high, he and his father were brought back to the Profound Origin Immortal Mansion.

He saw the Profound Origin Abbot, and also saw the envoys from the Mountain and Sea Pavilion, the Asking Dao Sect, and the Chen family.

Then they were brought into a secret chamber, a secret chamber located at the very bottom of the Profound Origin Mountain Range.

A powerful cultivator was lying on the stone bed, but his whole body's meridians had been penetrated, and he had no power to resist. He could only stare with eyes like dead ashes, panting heavily.

Patriarch Yuan Li was still young at the time and didn't know what was being done, but his age, which hadn't grown tall yet, made it easy for his line of sight to see his father's trembling hands.

And besides the person on the stone bed, besides his father and himself, he also saw countless iron cages.

Those in the iron cages were all people, ragged and covered in scars.

What Patriarch Yuan Li remembered most deeply was a man whose eyes were like a hungry wolf, staring tightly at him.

Staring tightly at his father raising the knife in his hand, dissecting the cultivator on the stone bed, staring tightly at the blood flying, staining the stone bed red.

The young Patriarch Yuan Li was so frightened that he was at a loss, and he fell down in the secret chamber at once. It was the man in the iron cage who helped him up.

The young Patriarch Yuan Li wanted to cover his eyes with his hands, but was forced open by the man.

Look, this is the high and mighty Immortal Sect.

He still remembers the man's words in his ear, and once he thinks of it, he still feels his whole body trembling.

And for the next half a year, he and his father stayed in that secret chamber, so he and the man in the cage also spent countless days and nights together.

What shocked him most was that the man would still look for gaps where no one was watching to cultivate even though he was locked in a cage.

Until one day, the aura of his breaking through the realm attracted guards.

Those guards stared with ferocious faces, asking everywhere if he was cultivating, and Patriarch Yuan Li was also caught and asked.

At that time, the man in the cage was looking at him without any love for life, and he didn't know why, but he shook his head while resisting the fear.

Later, many people came to the secret chamber, and many people were very excited, saying that the Seven Orifices Exquisite Body was really mysterious, and it could actually sit and ascend the realm, like getting a strange treasure.

And his father's dissection was still continuing at that time, but the powerful cultivator on the stone platform had already lost his original appearance.

Later, Spirit Sword Mountain and the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan seemed to have discovered something, and people came one after another, which made the Profound Origin Immortal Mansion release the main family disciples, but secretly, many people were still left locked in the dungeon.

"Is the one in the cage Chu Yu?"

"It is him."

Patriarch Yuan Li was silent for a long time before speaking: "Father was a person who came out of the dark turmoil. He said that when he saw the Chu family, it was like seeing himself back then, and this matter also became his lifelong nightmare, tormented by nightmares until his death."

Danyangzi and Dan Xunzi were silent for a long time, not expecting that the Chu family and the Pill Sect, which had never had any contact, would have such unknown contact: "Then what happened later?"

"Later, the Chu family was allowed to rebuild the clan, but because their power was too weak, they could only attach themselves to the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan first, and our Pill Sect was also constantly in contact with Spirit Sword Mountain and the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan, and by the way, intermarried to strengthen our own strength."

"Not long after, Chu Yu achieved something in his cultivation and returned to Youzhou to establish a family. Because my father felt guilty, he secretly gave them countless help, hoping that they could become strong as soon as possible, but in fact, our two families had no actual communication after that."

"When I succeeded as Abbot, the world seemed to be much more peaceful. There was very little open slaughter, and the Chu family developed very quickly, vaguely having the potential to become the world's number one clan."

"But I know that the Chu family will not give up, because I still remember Chu Yu's eyes. I know that he will definitely take revenge, take revenge on the Immortal Sect, and take revenge on this world."

"Sure enough, the subsequent Chu family began to attach themselves to the Profound Origin Immortal Mansion that slaughtered their clansmen."

"The outside world feels that it is because Youzhou is too close to the Profound Origin Immortal Mansion, and the Chu family had no choice but to do so, but I have always felt that they would definitely do something else, definitely."

"Such thoughts lingered in my mind for a long time, until an autumn day more than ten years ago, Chu Xiong suddenly visited the Pill Sect and brought Chu Yu's personal letter. In the letter, he asked me many questions, saying that they had discovered the Immortal Fate, but it could not be accepted by the Heavenly Dao, so what should they do."

"I didn't tell him, but asked him to come and see me in person and tell me what he was going to do."

"Perhaps because I didn't betray his trust when I was a child, he told me his plan. He wanted to destroy the Immortal Sect, and he hoped that our Pill Sect would also join in. He said that he would make the Pill Sect no longer afraid of the Immortal Sect."

Dan Xunzi was silent for a long time: "You agreed?"

Patriarch Yuan Li nodded: "In fact, our Pill Sect is not an Immortal Sect. We are just a clan coveted by others like the Chu family."

"Then it was also the Abbot who taught them to refine medicine with infants?!"

"No, I just told them that if they really want to bring out things that are not allowed by the Heavenly Dao, they must look for containers that the Heavenly Dao dare not destroy, but I didn't know that the thing was actually a newborn."

After Patriarch Yuan Li finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the three memorial tablets.

He was deceived, and he had never understood the process.

He only knew that Chu Yu was filled with anger and wanted revenge, and he also deeply agreed that there should not be such deformed creatures as the Immortal Sect in this world, but he had never considered that in the endless days and nights of the secret chamber, he had long lost his humanity.

"Then what happened later? How deep did we participate?" Danyangzi looked at Patriarch Yuan Li.

"Later, Chu Xiong brought many things that were neither human nor ghost and asked me to find a solution for them, so we participated very, very deeply."

"Did the Abbot ever think that this would make the Pill Sect doomed?"

Patriarch Yuan Li revealed a cold gaze: "Think about the night the Immortal Sect surrounded the mountain. What is the difference between worrying about being doomed and being truly doomed?"

Dan Xunzi looked at him and spoke again: "Then what about Caiwei? If so, why do they need to capture Caiwei again, or is it that the Abbot did it on purpose, just to be like the Chu family, and use the Zheng family ancestor's matter to clear the relationship?"

"The Chu family did notify me to use the Zheng family ancestor's matter to erase the traces that had been exposed and clear themselves, and I was also preparing, but it was not Caiwei. In fact, I still don't know who captured Caiwei, and I don't even know how Yuanchen escaped Pill Mountain to Qiling."

"Do you mean that someone secretly helped the Pill Sect, captured Caiwei to cover for us in Qiling, and pushed everything onto her being soul-searched?"

Patriarch Yuan Li shook his head with narrowed eyes: "I don't know, but Yuanchen, as a direct disciple, almost died in Qiling, which indeed made the Six Great Immortal Sects never doubt us again."

Dan Xunzi frowned: "Have you ever asked Yuanchen?" ===== CHAPTER 384 =====
