After Chu Yan talked with Xiaojiu, he sighed.
"I understand now. What you actually mean is...everything that happens around me in this world is never a coincidence, right?"
Xiao Jiu said calmly: "At your current state, do you still think there are coincidences in the world?"
Chu Yan burst out laughing: "That's right...forget it, forget it. I won't be a chess piece forever. One day I can hold the chess piece myself."
Xiao Jiu smiled slightly. What he liked most was Chu Yan's confidence.
At this time, Chen Yu left and came back, but he was no longer the only one who came back, and beside him was an old woman who had gone through many vicissitudes of life.
The old woman was wearing a gray robe, and her face was full of wrinkles.
Chu Yan was shocked when he saw this. In the current situation, everyone started out on their own. Their lifespans are hundreds of millions of years, but the old woman has aged like this. One can only imagine how many years this old woman has lived.
The old woman looked at Chu Yan and bowed slightly: "I have met Emperor Chu. I would like to thank Emperor Chu for being ordinary and giving me the freedom of Tianyuan family."
Chu Yan hurriedly stretched out his hand: "Senior, you're welcome. All of this happened by mistake. After I first entered Tianyuan, Chen Yu helped me a lot."
The old woman nodded slightly, and then she said doubtfully: "The reason why Emperor Chu is looking for me this time is..."
Chu Yan was startled and looked at Chen Yu: "You didn't tell senior?"
Chen Yu laughed dryly: "I was so impatient just now that I forgot about it. Let me tell you now..."
After saying that, he turned to look at the old man and said seriously: "Clan Chief, Emperor Chu wants to know about Tianyuan Holy City."
The old woman's pupils shrank and she suddenly became alert: "Emperor Chu... wants the location of Tianyuan Holy City? So, is this why you are working for the Tianyuan clan?"
Chu Yan smiled bitterly. He guessed that this would be the result. He shook his head and said, "Senior, I don't care whether you believe it or not. When I worked for the Tianyuan clan, I didn't even know about Tianyuan Holy City."
Chen Yu nodded: "Patriarch, this is true. Emperor Chu is not the same person as those forbidden sects and the ancient saint family. He and I are good brothers."
"brother?"
The old woman suddenly laughed at herself, then turned to look at Chen Yu and said: "Xiaoyu, do you know why our Tianyuan clan has fallen to this point? Let's not talk about the Ancient Saint Family, how we were bit by bit tortured by the Forbidden Sect until today. of?"
Chen Yu said in a low voice: "The Forbidden Sect bullies people too much. They keep oppressing us in order to seize some secret realms."
The old woman nodded: "Yes, but you know that hundreds of millions of years ago, my Tianyuan clan was the strongest in Tianyuan! Those forbidden sects are just the defeated soldiers of ancient gods and demons. How could they enter Tianyuan, our home field? Are they our opponents?" ap.
Chen Yu was startled: "Clan leader, are you saying that our Tianyuan clan was still above the Forbidden Sect?"
The old woman said seriously: "Of course, thinking back to those days, our Tianyuan clan, as the indigenous people here, was in charge of countless secret realms and natural dangers in Tianyuan. You must know that those secret realms are the existence that countless ancient saints and forbidden sect families flock to even today. Only It’s a treasure place where I have the opportunity to improve even at level seven.”
"It is absolutely impossible for me to break through from level 7 to level 8 without Taoist heart! But in just a few hundred million years, how many people from the Forbidden Sect have achieved breakthroughs? Where did their Taoist heart come from?"
Chen Yu was shocked: "Is this the secret realm of Tianyuan?"
The old woman nodded slightly: "That's right! Do you think that the Ancient Saint family has the inheritance of the Ancient Saint and has a strong family background, why do they still send their family members to Tianyuan for training? Is it really just for ordinary polishing? Wrong... They really What I want is those Taoist hearts of Tianyuan."
The old woman sighed: "Tian Yuan... once had many Taoist hearts."
Chen Yu was stunned, he really didn't know this.
Chu Yan also fell into silence.
No wonder...
He was still thinking before that Tianyuan was a treasure land, but to some ancient saint families, it was probably not a big treasure. Why were all the ancient saint disciples crazy about it.
When Chu Yan entered Tianyuan, Liu Qing once told him that many disciples of the Liu family wanted to enter Tianyuan.
He didn't understand it at that time.
Now I understand.
Here...you have a Taoist heart!
If you have a Taoist heart, you may not be able to break through the eighth level of self-centeredness, but if you don't have a Taoist heart, you will definitely not be able to break through.
And the Taoist Heart... has long been lost outside Tianyuan.
The old woman said at this time: "The two great eras have been destroyed, and the three thousand avenues have collapsed. In this world... there is no Taoist heart anymore, and without the Taoist heart, no matter how talented you are, it is impossible to break through the eighth level of self-centeredness. "
Chu Yan nodded slightly.
He had heard about it.
This is also the reason why the head of Dao Village has been planning to kill the ancestors of Dao Village with his own hands.
For the sake of Tao Xin.
At this time, the old woman suddenly changed the subject and looked towards Chu Yan: "Little friend, think about it from another angle. Before those Forbidden Sect and Ancient Saint disciples entered Tianyuan, all these secret realms were controlled by our Tianyuan clan. In my hands...will my Tianyuan clan...be weak?"
Hearing this, Chu Yan couldn't help but be startled.
yes!
He hadn't thought about this before.
Now think about it, these secret realms and treasure lands were originally controlled by the Tianyuan clan.
Disciples of the Forbidden Sect and Ancient Saints can use these forbidden areas to increase their strength. The Tianyuan clan is the natives of this place. They are uniquely blessed by nature. How can they be weak?
On the contrary, the Tianyuan clan should be very strong.
This is equivalent to guarding a gold mine.
But when he entered Tianyuan, the Tianyuan clan was almost extinct, and they were suppressed by all parties and fled in all directions.
Chen Yu was also shocked and said: "Clan leader, are you saying that my Tianyuan clan was still above the Forbidden Sect?"
The old woman glanced at Chen Yu and snorted coldly: "Do you think that the name of my Tianyuan clan is just talk? My Tianyuan clan... was once the royal clan of Tianyuan."
Chen Yu was stunned, and then he said unconvinced: "If we were so strong before, why are we reduced to this situation now?"
Chen Yu's voice was trembling when he said this.
He had always thought that the Tianyuan clan was bullied by the Ancient Sage and the Forbidden Sect because they were weak.
Since they were so strong, why did it happen today?
He doesn't understand.
Chu Yan couldn't help but look at the old woman, a little confused.
Since the Tianyuan clan guards countless secret realms, it stands to reason that they should become stronger and stronger. It would be understandable if they lost to the Ancient Saint clan, but those people from the Forbidden Sect... are just a group of losers who have been eliminated by the times.
The old woman glanced at Chen Yu and said meaningfully: "You want to know, don't you?"
Chen Yu nodded: "I think so!"
The old woman said calmly: "All this is because of those two words in your mouth!"
"Two words from my mouth?"
Chen Yu couldn't help but wonder: "What word?"
"brother!"
The old woman took a deep breath: "It's because of the word brother in your mouth that my Tianyuan clan is in the situation we are in today!"
boom!
Chen Yu subconsciously took a few steps back, his eyes filled with shock: "Chief, I... I don't understand."
