"What?!" Haochu and Leng Shuanglong said in shock at the same time.
And Venerable Hongde's movement of smoothing his long beard was also a pause.
The three people's eyes fell on Zhao Ning at the same time. Venerable Hongde's voice was still calm and gentle. He said, "Little friend Zhao Ning, would you like to talk to us about this matter."
Zhao Ning nodded slightly and talked about Qi Yu's distracted intrusion into Kyushu.
When she mentioned the ancient dragon-patterned jade pendant, her eyes passed over several people. Surprisingly, they didn't have much fluctuation, as if they had some prediction.
Zhao Ning stared deeply and only said that it was over after Qi Yu was distracted and offered sacrifices.
"Heh. It seems that everyone over there has their own evil intentions." Venerable Haochu snorted.
"This Penglai Immortal Island is quite rational. Nine continents are one. It would be absurd to think that the stupid ban on nine continents would allow the other eight continents to sit back and relax."
"That said, if there is a chance, we can talk about cooperation with Penglai."
Venerable Haochu was thoughtful, Leng Shuanglong's eyes were filled with frost, only Venerable Hongde looked at Zhao Ning with a smile.
"Little friend Zhao Ning, I seem to have doubts."
Zhao Ning was indifferent, "Zhao Ning didn't mention the situation in Jiuzhou, nor did he ask about the difficulties in Shixu. He just wanted to ask. Several venerables seemed to have already guessed about this matter."
She suddenly raised her hand, and the ancient dragon-patterned jade pendant hovered in her palm, "I am not even surprised by its appearance. It seems that there are other communications between my uncle and several venerables."
Venerable Hongde put down his hands and sat upright.
Leng Shuanglong and Venerable Haochu looked at each other, then looked away silently, remaining silent.
Zhao Ning's tone lacked a bit of politeness, "I guess Zhao Ning asked vaguely, so I would like to ask all the venerables to explain to Zhao Ning, what is... a forerunner?"
Silence fell in the main hall of the Heavenly Palace, as if the two parties were confronting each other, except that there was no imminent murderous intent, but no one wanted to continue like this, the murderous intent was far faster and more violent than the others.
Until a sigh.
"Hey..." Venerable Hongde sighed.
He stood up slowly, walked down the stairs step by step, and paused in front of Zhao Ning, "In recent years, Jiuzhou's infiltration has been everywhere. They have already seen the changes in Jiuzhou."
Zhao Ning was silent, just looking straight at him unprepared, as if questioning, when she formed the elixir, the Heavenly Palace recognized her as a variable that could last ten thousand years, but from the elixir formation to the birth of a baby, more than a hundred years had passed, and she was like this What changes have been brought about by the ordinary variables? Is it just because she was guided by heaven and was able to penetrate the barrier of the formation and sense Jiuzhou?
"The wind rises at the end of the day." Venerable Hongde smiled, turned away from Zhao Ning, walked to the gate of the Tiangong, looked at the surging sea of clouds, his back was filled with vicissitudes of life, "it's not time yet."
Haochu and Leng Shuanglong also approached.
Leng Shuanglong said, "Do you still remember that weird Zhuzhou?"
"Zhuzhou Red Robe?"
"No, I'm talking about those weird people from other worlds who call themselves 'players'."
Leng Shuanglong's eyes were extremely cold, "We don't know where they came from, but we know that if they let them go unchecked, it will lead to a natural disaster over time."
Zhao Ning didn't know where they came to the conclusion, but it must be extremely difficult to get such an answer from the Tiangong sages.
"Those 'players' are like ants to cultivators like us, but it's not impossible for ants to be as powerful as a towering tree."
After Haochu finished speaking, he waved his sleeves, and the sea of clouds outside the hall suddenly changed. Reliefs made of clouds rose up. Gradually, the reliefs condensed into reality. Outside the hall, there were no longer high-altitude clouds, but as if they were in darkness. The reliefs are carved on the rocks at the edge of the unreachable abyss.
Zhao Ning approached the door of the hall. Venerable Hongde's eyes fell on this change, but his words were addressed to Zhao Ning.
"Ten thousand years ago, we went deep into the Nine Netherworld, and in the deepest depths of the Nine Netherworld, we saw a memory sealed in Kyushu."
Following Hongde's words, Zhao Ning seemed to have experienced what happened back then——
"Where is this place?" At that time, Venerable Hao Chu's voice became clearer.
"I don't know, it should be some ruins tens of thousands of years ago, but what do these reliefs want to tell us?" Another venerable voice sounded. Zhao Ning had never heard it, and it had probably passed away in the past ten thousand years. .
"It's quite lively. I thought that Kyushu tens of thousands of years ago would be a desolate place, but I didn't expect that there are many sects in the city and the human race is prosperous."
"It's indeed a lot more lively." Venerable Hongde's voice sounded, but he paused again, and then said, "It's just that it's been more lively."
"Why is this..." Venerable Hao Chu was about to ask why, but his voice was stuck, and he saw a strange scene on the relief in front of them.
Those human races rushed toward a protoss crazily. Even though these people were nothing more than ants to the protoss, they could be wiped out completely with just a flick of their fingers. However, they seemed to have no fear, and even had excited smiles on their faces, and they kept pouring out Rushing towards the gods.
The stumps were mixed with flesh and blood, and the divine light was wrapped in blood, stimulating the eyeballs. But except for the Gods, everyone seemed to be immersed in this fight, until the Gods were finally dragged down...
The relief interprets an absurdity, but after the absurdity, there are more absurdities. Those immortal human races occupied the entire Kyushu, and their power shook the heaven and the earth. Until one day, someone touched the time ruins, the sky fell, and the devil Invasion, chaos and blood intertwined, and finally, the great purge began.
"The wind rises at the end of the day." Venerable Hongde in the light and shadow once again mentioned these five words, but it was in a different state of mind.
The light and shadow returned to their original appearance, the sea of clouds rolled in, and everything was covered in calmness.
"Back then, the Kunxu incident involved Zhuzhou, and Zhuzhou's red robe had not yet taken shape, so they just traced their roots and left. Tiangong realized that they were connected with Jiuzhou. But the other side was hidden too deeply, or in other words, our strength was not at all There’s no way to go deep.”
"At that time, all kinds of extraordinary strange things and strange places appeared in Jiuzhou, and we could only take turns stationed in Zhuzhou. Until one day, we caught a clue from those people from other worlds, and found a trace from Jiuzhou. The power. It was the projection of the Jiuzhou High Tribulation Yuan Shen falling into the night of Zhuzhou, using a formation to summon the soul from another world."
Zhao Ning turned to look at Hao Chu, and his words did not pause. "Later, we realized that these people were the absurd 'human race' recorded in the depths of Jiuyou. If we want to crack the formation, we must start from the root."
The last part came out, and Zhao Ning knew that he had unfinished words.
"Kill Gao Jie Yuanshen."
"Uh..." Venerable Haochu paused for a moment, "Yes, but we don't have the ability to do so. We can only cut off its connection with the formation. So... someone must go to Jiuzhou."
"Keyuan came back from the time ruins. He is even more familiar with the Nine Continents Demon Sealing Formation than we are, and it is easier to comprehend the power of time and space. He is a suitable candidate. What's more, we can no longer stop the infiltration of the Nine Continents. Before they discover the real changes, or before you become a soul, it is indeed time to divert their attention." Leng Shuanglong stared at Zhao Ning and said.
The hands in the long sleeves tightened.
Leng Shuanglong comforted him, "Don't worry, Zhao Ning. Nothing will happen to Ke Yuan. He has the blood of the ancient dragon clan, and he can achieve nirvana even in desperate situations."
Haochu said, "Zhao Ning, practice well. The time of the ruins of time is coming, and we still have a great disaster waiting for us. Only those who are strong enough can go on. If we get the opportunity from the ruins of time, we can step into the world after transforming into gods. Entering the soul, being guided by heaven, it’s time to meet again.”
Venerable Hongde also said, "Little friend Zhao Ning, please be at ease. At this moment, strength is far more important than anything else. That star spirit ruins is indeed a magical place. I have experienced it once or twice, and I have had some opportunities. , go quickly, opportunities wait for no one."
Zhao Ning raised her eyes and looked at the gentle expressions of these three people. She suddenly took half a step back.
"Zhao Ning is a good person for the several venerables, and Zhao Ning understands it. Zhao Ning also knows that his strength is low, and his influence on the overall situation of Jiuzhou is as weak as dust. He can only rely on you and his uncle to provide a space for breathing and growth. , but, I still want to ask one more question..."
Her eyes were firm.
"...Is that all?"
Everyone paused, even a little stiff. Venerable Hao Chu wanted to continue to argue, but Zhao Ning once again took out the ancient dragon pattern jade pendant. The power of merit seeped into it, and a light spot suddenly appeared in the center of the coiled dragon shadow. The scattered brilliance at the core of the Kyushu formation turned into a little starlight at some point, but the essence of the starlight is...
Time and space beacon.
She repeated those words again, "Is this really all?"
Everyone lost all words until Venerable Hongde sighed.
"Yes... indeed. We have other ideas."
He looked at Zhao Ning and spoke word by word.
"What I want more is... a road."
Chapter 277
The moment the three words came out, Zhao Ning was not surprised at all, and even wanted to laugh a little.
Things come and go, but in the end, people from Jiuzhou want to go out, and people from Jiuzhou want to covet.
Venerable Hongde didn't care about Zhao Ning's slight indifference. He just said, "Zhao Ning, Jiuzhou has been trapped for millions of years. Every soul that ascends to the Heavenly Palace wants to get out."
"I know." Zhao Ning also said, "But, after millions of years of ban, is it really that easy to open a passage?"
Unknowingly, Zhao Ning recalled in a trance that time in the Mangrove Courtyard, the remaining aura of her master's uncle had condensed into reality. She sat next to her and told herself, "Master's uncle is here to pick you up."
Zhao Ning closed her eyes slightly to hide the waves in her eyes.
Venerable Hongde shook his head, "We know it is difficult, but this is our only way out."
What he said was so serious that Zhao Ning couldn't tell for a while whether he was exaggerating or whether there was some kind of huge disaster approaching.
Venerable Haochu is not as deep-tempered as Venerable Hongde, and his additional words are more straightforward.
"Zhao Ning, we found a clue to open a passage. We got it from the projection of the high-tribulation soul."
Unexpected, but reasonable.
"How to open it?" Zhao Ning only asked. There was no excitement or disbelief when hearing these four words for the first time. They were just plain and simple, just like a sentence following his words.
Venerable Haochu glanced at Zhao Ning unexpectedly, but still replied, "With the help of some kind of soul method, the soul is projected into the time ruins, and then breaks away from the time ruins and enters Jiuzhou."
The "certain method of primordial spirit" in his mouth is without exception the secret method of Zhuzhou Gaojie primordial spirit projection, and the cost of doing this is to tear the soul apart, in the least case, the vitality will be severely damaged, in the worst case, the original spirit will be eliminated. .
If you can successfully enter Jiuzhou, it won't matter if your vitality is severely damaged.
All of this seems easy to understand, but there is something a little bit unacceptable about it.
It has been millions of years, and tens of thousands of years ago, people from other worlds were summoned. This kind of soul method is by no means the only one. Maybe there was a similar method at that time.
Surprisingly, all of them agreed with this method.
"I know you doubt it." Leng Shuanglong saw through Zhao Ning's confusion, "But Zhao Ning, we can't wait any longer, let alone wait until everything becomes clear."
The three of them looked at each other, and Leng Shuanglong continued, "We cannot deduce Kyushu three hundred years from now."
Zhao Ning paused, and the emotions that were originally buried in her heart suddenly became worth mentioning.
She said it as if if we say it again...and say it again...Kyushu has no future.
"Your understanding is not wrong."
Venerable Haochu rarely showed sadness in his eyes, "I can feel that my own death is coming."
Within the field of vision, Leng Shuanglong took a look and slowly lowered his head, "Me too."
Zhao Ning was shocked and looked at Venerable Hongde again. His turbid eyes had seen through life and death, and he only smiled at Zhao Ning, as if he was just talking about the calamity of death.
Maybe it's just a coincidence?
Zhao Ning knew clearly in her heart that this was just self-deception, but she still couldn't control her subconscious defense. She spoke again, with a slight confusion in her voice, "What about the others, the other four Yuanshen Lords."
"No surprise."
Leng Shuanglong gave Zhao Ning an extremely cruel answer.
The Venerable Yuanshen has long transcended the reincarnation of heaven. Their lifespan is as long as that of heaven. They have engraved their Taoist hearts under the heaven. They have a glimpse of the power of the law. With the help of the law, they can predict their own disasters, life and death, which is better than the Yuan Shen. Yingshangren's instinctive threat perception is more precise.
