Originally, Chi Yao just mentioned the matter of Jiutian Xuannv casually, and did not expect to get any useful reply from Yu Zhong, but he just happened to think of it, so he asked in passing.
But what he didn't expect was that after the great elder smoothed his beard, he sighed with emotion: "This matter is a long story."
"Appreciate further details."
"It is true that Empress Xuannv has not appeared in front of the world for many years, but this is not due to her own fault."
Yu Zhong sighed, "After assisting the Xuanyuan clan to overthrow Chi You, Empress Xuannv returned to heaven and would not appear unless there was a major crisis. But when the position of master was passed down from generation to generation, it was in the hands of the Gaoyang clan, that is, in the hands of the Black Emperor Zhuanxu At that time, something big happened."
"What's the big deal?"
"The leader of the Gonggong clan was dissatisfied with Emperor Zhuanxu becoming the master and launched a challenge to him."
The great elder continued, "This is not a big deal at first. The role of a leader is to convince the public. But the bad thing is that the leader of the Gonggong clan is too hot-tempered. He lost to Emperor Zhuanxu in the challenge. Out of the shame and anger of defeat, and with the intention of dying together, he led the clan to launch a rebellion and even dug up Buzhou Mountain."
After saying this, he shook his head slightly and seemed to be quite dissatisfied with Gonggong's actions. "The landform at that time was very different from now. Mount Buzhou was located in the center of the sky and the earth, and was known as the Pillar of Heaven. When the Pillar of Heaven broke, the heaven and earth suddenly collapsed. Out of balance, endless oceans fell from the sky, and a small half of the earth became the country! Such a disaster naturally alarmed Jiutian Xuannv, and she was not the only one. At that time, many gods came down from the sky to assist in disaster relief under the leadership of Xuannv."
"Isn't this a good thing?"
"It was indeed a good thing in the beginning. If we rely solely on our own strength, it would be difficult to deal with a natural disaster of that level."
The Great Elder nodded first, then shook his head, "But there are many gods who have come down, and not all gods are like Xuannv Empress. They are full of goodwill towards human beings and ask for almost nothing. I don't know what happened specifically. I don’t know much about it, I just know that Emperor Zhuanxu’s three sons died in the process of controlling floods, and even turned into gods of disaster; some sects inherited from gods took the opportunity to cause chaos; and it is said that Emperor Zhuanxu once had an affair with a certain god. Live a war...
"That period of history is too complicated to sort out. But the final result is that Emperor Zhuanxu cut off the connection between heaven and earth, so that humans and gods did not interfere with each other and each had their own order. This is called the ultimate power of heaven.
"Since then, there have been no miracles on the earth. And it turns out that we don't actually have to have gods to protect us in order to move forward."
There was a sense of human pride in the great elder's voice.
Chi Yao also nodded in agreement.
"But this is not all a good thing. Since then, practitioners in the human world have been unable to ascend, and I don't know if it is due to the loss of spiritual energy in the sky. The cultivation environment on the earth is also slowly degrading. Now we can The power of control is far inferior to that of our ancestors back then." The Great Elder sighed.
After the Jedi Heavenly Power, did the gods in the sky take back their spiritual energy?
Chi Yao secretly wondered in his heart, or is the spiritual energy leaking from the sky? After the connection is severed, the spiritual energy stranded on the ground cannot be regenerated and will be gone after it is used up?
He put forward his own conjecture, but unfortunately the great elder could not give a definite answer.
Chi Yao benefited a lot from this conversation with the great elder, and he also had a rough guess about the Yin Yang family's ultimate pursuit.
"Great Elder,"
Chi Yao rubbed his chin and asked, "Since Jedi Heavenly Power has such shortcomings, then someone must have thought about restoring the connection between heaven and earth, right? Especially those top practitioners who had the hope of ascending?"
"You're right."
The great elder agreed with his conjecture, "But Emperor Zhuanxu's method cannot be cracked by ordinary people, so thousands of years have passed, no one has been able to succeed, until eight hundred years ago..."
"Eight hundred years ago?"
This moment made Chi Yao's heart move.
"Yes, the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty is full of the shadows of immortals and gods. Otherwise, how can a small area of Xiqi be the opponent of the Great Shang?"
"Then how could the current Da Zhou be reduced to this state?"
Chi Yao asked further, since there are immortals and gods behind him, it’s okay to give up the power. When they were destroyed decades ago, why didn’t they use any means to restore it?
"Hey,"
Yu Zhong's expression was a little disdainful, "Of course it's because they have lost the means of contacting heaven a long time ago! Moreover, even if those means are still there, the immortal gods are not our Ji family's thugs, so it is still unclear whether they will take action!"
"Has it been left behind..."
Chi Yao nodded slightly, becoming more and more certain about the guess in his mind.
The leader of the Yin Yang family, Donghuang Taiyi, although his real name has never been known, judging from the names of Concubine Yan and Moon God, I am afraid he is also a member of the Ji clan, and may even be a pure descendant of the Zhou royal family.
Then he has a more reasonable explanation for his persistence in Canglong Qisu.
Combined with the ultimate pursuit of the Yin Yang family - to become a flying fairy.
What he wants is almost ready to come out!
"Could it be that gathering the Canglong Qisu is the way to unlock Emperor Zhuanxu's Jedi Heavenly Power? Not only does he want to become an immortal himself, but he also wants to revive the Great Zhou Dynasty?"
Chi Yao's mind was racing, and he felt that he was probably right about it. I wanted to confirm it with the great elder, but as a native of Bashu, I shouldn't know anything about something as lofty as Canglong Qisu.
In order to maintain his character, he had no choice but to suppress the restlessness in his heart and chose to remain silent.
The Great Elder didn't know what Chi Yao was thinking. He straightened his face and said, "I'm telling you this today just to make you understand that our Shushan heritage has a long history. Today, when heaven and earth are separated, we hold in our hands the most important thing in the world." Two magical things - Fuso wood and Yu Yuan!"
Chi Yao nodded, although he knew that there was still a drop of liquid in Loulan that was said to be the tears of the Nine Heavens Xuannv, as well as a mythical creature named Pixiu. But given this situation and the reason for maintaining the character, there is no need to say it out loud to spoil the scenery.
"So there are a lot of people coveting what we have in our hands!"
Yu Zhong emphasized his tone.
"Don't worry! I will definitely protect everything in Shushan!"
Chi Yao promised emphatically.
"No,"
Unexpectedly, the great elder actually feinted a shot, "What I really want to say is that although the things in our hands are very precious, the reason why Shushan exists is ultimately because of people! These external objects can be saved if they can be saved, but there is really no way If you can find a way, keeping a useful body and preserving the inheritance of Shushan is the top priority. Just let go of the things outside of you."
