Chapter 642

These words voiced exactly what was on everyone's mind.

Although achieving five hundred years of longevity is not a strange occurrence among Martial Saints, only a handful have achieved it, and each case involved a great stroke of fortune.

If Xiao Sanxiao had already achieved five hundred years of longevity before obtaining the Divine Turtle's blood, it would mean he had other miraculous encounters.

Thinking this, everyone in the hall looked toward the White Jade Platform, waiting for Su Chen to resolve their confusion.

On the White Jade Platform.

Su Chen gently shook his folding fan, not surprised by this question, and smiled slightly:

"This matter is indeed worth discussing."

"Before obtaining the blood of the Divine Turtle, although Xiao Sanxiao was already a martial arts powerhouse, he did not possess the ability of longevity."

"At that time, he was likely only a few decades old."

"In other words, taking today as the boundary, he has only lived for three thousand five hundred years."

"The reason it is said he has lived for four thousand years is because he used a powerful secret technique to live five hundred years into the future."

"This secret technique is called the 'Soul Dream Heart Sutra,' a cultivation method even more powerful than the 'Ten Thousand Ways of the Forest' and the 'Four Absolutes of the Mixed Heavens' created by Xiao Sanxiao himself."

"When I commented on the Old Immortal Nanhua earlier, I mentioned that he was Zhuangzi reincarnated into the present world via the 'Dream Butterfly Method'; once he realizes his past, he can recover the memories and cultivation realm of his previous life."

"The 'Soul Dream Heart Sutra' created by Xiao Sanxiao has a similar effect, allowing Xiao Sanxiao's soul to directly cross time and space to arrive five hundred years later."

"This involves the concept of time laws, which is very complex and cannot be explained in a few words."

"You all only need to know that the Xiao Sanxiao at the current time node no longer exists—commonly known as 'dead'—but his true body can be seen five hundred years later."

"Because his existence is only in the future, he is said to have lived for four thousand years."

As Su Chen's voice fell, a wave of exclamations erupted in the hall.

This commentary left everyone stunned.

Xiao Sanxiao didn't live for five hundred years before getting the Dragon Turtle blood, but instead lived directly into the world five hundred years later?

The martial arts heroes in the hall had been listening to stories for so long and had heard too many secrets, but they still couldn't wrap their heads around this.

But one thing is certain.

That is, this Xiao Sanxiao is truly a marvel of the martial world.

The 'Soul Dream Heart Sutra' he created sounds even more astonishing than the 'Dream Butterfly Method' of the Daoist sage Zhuangzi.

Such an astonishing technique is already completely the means of an immortal.

It's just that there is one thing everyone still can't figure out: what did Xiao Sanxiao go five hundred years into the future to do?

Sixth private room in the West District.

Ying Zheng revealed a rare look of solemnity.

This Xiao Sanxiao, who suppressed him to occupy the top of the Martial Saint Ranking, is indeed extraordinary.

Not only did he achieve three thousand five hundred years of longevity by fusing with the blood of the Divine Turtle, but he also used a powerful secret technique to travel five hundred years into the future.

The Xiao Sanxiao of the present world is dead, and his true body can be seen five hundred years later.

Even Ying Zheng could not fully grasp the true meaning of this statement, which further highlights the unfathomable nature of Xiao Sanxiao.

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng couldn't help but fix his gaze on the White Jade Platform, waiting quietly for Su Chen's further explanation.

On the White Jade Platform.

Su Chen did not keep them in suspense; meeting the curious gazes of the crowd, he said loudly:

"You must all be wondering why Xiao Sanxiao went five hundred years into the future."

"The fundamental reason for this must be traced back to that Great Calamity of the Thousand Autumns."

"For thousands of years, Xiao Sanxiao achieved longevity by fusing with the blood of the Divine Turtle."

"His martial arts talent was far superior to Di Di Shitian's, and his cultivation soon reached the absolute peak realm of the world."

"Bai Xiao Kuangsheng once wrote in the [Twelve Terrors] that Xiao Sanxiao would appear once every hundred years to grant one wish to the person he encountered."

"And he stated that with this person's ability, there was no rival under heaven, and any wish could be fulfilled."

"Once this comment was made, it stirred up a storm in the martial world, and many people ran around trying to find the traces of Xiao Sanxiao."

"But what Bai Xiao Kuangsheng did not know was that Xiao Sanxiao's actions were not out of kindness."

"The truth is exactly the opposite: every time Xiao Sanxiao appeared once every hundred years, the people he encountered were targets he had already selected."

"These people, without exception, were villains that Xiao Sanxiao had calculated through heavenly divination would threaten the peace of the martial world in the future."

"Therefore, Xiao Sanxiao wanted to eliminate them before they could commit great evils, in order to maintain world peace."

"For example, over a thousand years ago, a martial arts supreme appeared in the Great Han martial world, named Tie Guihai Yidao."

"This person's cultivation was heaven-shaking and earth-moving, and he was ambitious, intending to dominate the world."

"Xiao Sanxiao calculated that he would trigger a great calamity in the martial world in the future, so he appeared in advance and asked him to make a wish."

"Tie Guihai Yidao did not believe Xiao Sanxiao had such divine power, so he casually said he wanted to taste what it was like to be an emperor."

"Xiao Sanxiao agreed on the spot and told him to be prepared; his wish would be fulfilled in seven days."

"Tie Guihai Yidao didn't take it to heart, but to his surprise, on the morning of the seventh day, he woke up to find himself lying on the emperor's dragon bed!"

"And he was draped in the bright yellow dragon robe that symbolized the status of the Supreme Ruler."

"But this was by no means a good thing."

"Just as Tie Guihai Yidao regained his senses, a squad of imperial guards rushed into the room, intending to execute him on the spot."

"With Tie Guihai Yidao's strength, these guards were no match for him at all."

"But when he tried to mobilize his internal energy, he discovered that his power had been sealed, and he couldn't exert even a bit of it."

"Just like that, Tie Guihai Yidao was hacked to death by the guards, and a peerless hero bled out just like that."

"And the martial world catastrophe that was supposed to have been triggered by Tie Guihai Yidao naturally could not proceed following his death."

"Xiao Sanxiao originally thought that every time he resolved a future calamity in advance, the world would be at peace forever."

"But he did not know that the cycle of the Heavenly Dao has its own rules; those calamities he resolved did not disappear, but instead stacked up layer by layer."

"Speaking of this, you should all understand by now."

"That 'Great Calamity of the Thousand Autumns' that endangers the common people of the world is the sum total of the calamities accumulated over these thousands of years."

Furthermore, no one expected that this mysterious powerhouse who had once severely injured the Great Demon God Xiao Xiao Jingtian was actually the ancestor of the Xiao family, the biological father of the two peak Martial Saints of the Xiao family!

As Su Chen's voice fell, the hall exploded once again.

As expected!

There is a reason why Xiao Sanxiao went five hundred years into the future; it is precisely related to the Great Calamity of the Thousand Autumns.

This couldn't help but make many people feel nervous again.

Originally, hearing Su Chen announce one powerful quasi-emperor after another, including Jian Yin who represents the Heavenly Dao in maintaining human order, they thought the Great Calamity of the Thousand Autumns was no longer a cause for concern.

But now they realize that things don't seem to be that simple.

A marvel as powerful as Xiao Sanxiao has already seen through the secret of the Great Calamity of the Thousand Autumns, yet he still had to use a secret technique to go five hundred years into the future.

This is enough to prove that wanting to completely eliminate the Great Calamity of the Thousand Autumns is by no means an easy task.
