When Cyan Piggy asked this question, the senior brother also showed a look of attentive listening.
Because after he slept for thousands of years, when he woke up, there was no more heaven, and there was an extra Seven Immortals Alliance in the world.
However, in the eyes of the eldest brother, the so-called Seven Immortals Alliance is just a child's play house. The seven immortals in the Seven Immortals Alliance are just a few rising stars in the heaven who still have some potential.
The eldest brother also wants to know how the heaven he swore to replace died.
Shu Guan on the side also showed an expression of listening attentively.
Heaven is destroyed, Heaven is destroyed... Ever since he stepped into the world of cultivation, these words have made his ears almost grow calloused, but no one has ever told him how Heaven was destroyed.
There is no record of this matter in Shanjiguan Taoist Pavilion. He also asked his master Li Zhixia. Li Zhixia also shook his head and said he didn't know. He only said that after the Seven Immortals Alliance was established, the seven immortals joined forces to deal with this matter. It was covered up, and after thousands of years passed, fewer and fewer people knew the truth about the original destruction of Heaven.
"The destruction of Heaven did not happen overnight, but took place over thousands of years of continuous decline..."
Then just listen to Yang Qingyuan start to talk.
"If we must find a starting source for the destruction of heaven, then the source is you."
Yang Qingyuan glanced at his senior brother.
"Back then, you fought from the Lingxiao Palace to the Nantianmen. That battle completely disgraced the Heavenly Court and made the entire Heavenly Court's hearts flutter."
"Heavenly Court was originally the result of the compromise between the ancestral spirits after the Battle of the Gods. I don't know how many people have been dissatisfied with Heavenly Court for a long time, but no one dared to resist until you demon tribe stood up first."
"And your shocking blow that year also made everyone see the weakness of Heaven. The most important thing is that during the whole process, none of the ancestral spirits took action."
"The original power of Heaven, the original intimidation, the original ability to obey orders, all authority lies in the ancestral spirits standing behind Heaven."
"It's just that after the Age of Conferred Gods, those ancestral spirits never took action again. They seemed to have closed themselves off one by one. It is said that it seemed to be because of the decline of heaven... Regarding this matter, I have now It is relatively certain that the ancestor spirit of our Shangqing lineage has not appeared in front of people for more than 20,000 years. This time I was ordered to hunt you down, but I did not see the Shangqing Patriarch himself, but only received an order from him. That’s all.”
"But before the destruction of Heaven, all of this was just speculation in everyone's mind. Some people vaguely guessed that those ancestral spirits seemed to be inconvenient to appear in the world, but it was always just a guess until you demon kings launched an attack on Heaven. That battle almost really overthrew the heavens. Even under such circumstances, the innate ancestral spirits did not appear, which inevitably made many people think that those innate ancestral spirits might not be able to appear in the world."
"This naturally caused the authority of Heaven to begin to weaken sharply."
"Since the battle between you Demon King and Heavenly Court, more and more loose immortals have started to violate Heavenly Court's orders. Some powerful immortals have stopped coming to Heavenly Court to worship."
"By the way, your former brother, the Nine-Headed Insect whose head you had chopped off, also left the Heavenly Court during that time, went to the East China Sea and claimed to be the Emperor's God, and no longer respected the Heavenly Court's orders."
"He is no longer my brother."
The senior brother said this indifferently, then frowned and said:
"You actually allowed him to establish himself as king in the East China Sea and didn't kill him?"
"During that time, I took my grass-headed gods and ran around suppressing various rebellions in the heaven..."
Yang Qingyuan smiled bitterly and said:
"...But I still went there later, but when I arrived at the East China Sea, I found that the Nine-Headed Insect had invited several evil gods from the Western Continent to wait for me there."
"You know, the strength of the nine-headed worm is not much worse than the two of us. The strength of the evil gods in the Western Continent is also very good. With them joining forces, I really can't do anything to them."
"At that time, there were only a few capable generals in heaven, and there were only me and the third prince. However, the world of cultivation was already on fire everywhere. It had just subsided in one place, but I don't know how many more have broken out in other places. Rebellion.”
"However, although Heaven seemed to be on the verge of collapse at that time, there was no rebellion that could truly shake the foundation of Heaven."
"As long as the Third Prince and I are here, we can still barely maintain the control of Heaven with our combat power. However, after such a chaotic situation lasted for hundreds of years, something happened again."
"If the battle you led the Demon King against Heaven opened the prelude to chaos and was the source of Heaven's destruction, then the occurrence of that incident completely made Heaven history."
"So what happened?"
The senior brother and the green little pig asked almost in unison.
Shuguan also pricked up his ears nervously.
"The Emperor of Heaven is missing."
Yang Qingyuan glanced at him and said slowly.
"What!"
The senior brother and the green little pig shouted in unison again.
"Why did the old man disappear?"
"No one knows how he disappeared. Everyone only knows that one day the brilliance of the Lingxiao Palace suddenly dissipated inexplicably and turned into darkness. The gods and gods who were still in heaven at that time rushed to the Lingxiao Palace and were waiting. The Emperor came out to explain the reason."
"But they waited for a long time but did not wait for the Emperor of Heaven to show up. You must know that since the founding of the Heavenly Palace, the Lingxiao Palace has been shining with colorful light, shining on the Heavenly Realm for tens of thousands of years. Nothing like this has ever happened."
"And the Lingxiao Palace suddenly lost all its glory. This is naturally a very serious matter. Although the Emperor of Heaven had few directors at that time, if such a thing happens, he must come out and explain it."
"So after waiting for a long time for the Emperor of Heaven to show up, those gods went to find the Emperor of Heaven, and then they never found the Emperor of Heaven again... They searched all over the heavens and couldn't find him!"
"The Emperor of Heaven just disappeared."
"Were you in heaven at that time?"
"No, but I am fighting outside, and so is the Third Prince. But after hearing this, we immediately rushed back to Heaven."
"...Of course, we couldn't find the Emperor of Heaven either."
"Then, all the immortals and gods in the heaven went to the Sanqing Palace together and wanted to ask the three heavenly lords to answer their questions, but the three ancestral spirits did not give any response."
"Everyone knows that the Emperor of Heaven was originally supported by those ancestral spirits, and the same is true for Heaven."
"And now that the ancestral spirits are not responding, does it mean that they already want to give up on heaven?"
"Since that day, the hearts of the people in Heaven have been completely dispersed, and the immortals and gods who were still in Heaven have also left Heaven one after another."
"Decades later, the heaven where thousands of immortals once gathered soon became empty of people, and the heaven finally ceased to exist."
"After that, the way of heaven declined more and more. It was the Sixth Yuanhui era, and it was also the era when the way of heaven declined the fastest. The rate of decline was almost cliff-like, so many immortals and gods naturally withered and died in that era."
Yang Qingyuan finally finished speaking.
The palace was quiet for a while. The senior brother and the green little pig were silent, seeming to digest what Yang Qingyuan just said.
"So what have you been doing all these years?"
After a long time, the senior brother asked.
"I have been tracing the disappearance of the Emperor of Heaven."
Yang Qingyuan said in a deep voice.
"When I heard the news, I immediately rushed back to Heaven. I found some clues about the disappearance of the Emperor of Heaven. I have been investigating this matter for thousands of years, and I have indeed found out some things now."
"What did you find out?"
The senior brother asked immediately.
He didn't care much about the old man named Emperor of Heaven, he was just purely curious.
He really couldn't imagine how the former lord of heaven, the emperor of heaven who ruled the three realms on behalf of the ancestral spirits of the ancestors, could disappear.
Yang Qingyuan smiled slightly and said:
"Then I won't be able to tell you more details until you join us."
"you?"
The senior brother was suddenly startled and said.
"Not bad, us."
Yang Qingyuan stared at him and slowly said:
"Over the years, I have secretly contacted some people, not only to investigate the disappearance of the Emperor of Heaven, but also to investigate the ancestral spirits. I always feel that the decline of Heaven's Dao since the Third Yuan Association has nothing to do with the birth of these Heavenly Dao. There is something related to the first creatures in the world.”
"Who are you?"
"The Third Prince is also here, and by the way, two of your former brothers are also here!"
"What, who is it?"
The elder brother suddenly opened his eyes wide.
"The Peng Demon King and the Lion and Camel King."
"Lao Wu, Lao Liu and the others are still alive?"
At this time, the green little pig shouted in surprise.
"Yes, they are still alive and have joined us, but I only found two of your seven brothers back then."
"Where are they now?"
The eldest brother asked eagerly.
"Have you decided to join us?"
Yang Qingyuan asked, staring at his senior brother.
The senior brother was silent for a moment.
Yang Qingyuan pointed to the golden-haired monkey on the ground and said:
"I'm afraid you won't be able to find out this matter by yourself. We all need partners, especially if we have to fight against those ancestral spirits."
The senior brother finally nodded silently.
"Monkey King, you are welcome to become a member of our Conferred Gods Association."
"God Conferment Meeting?"
"Yes, many of the people I'm looking for are people who survived the age of gods. It's precisely because they have experienced that chaotic era and witnessed how the ancestors used heaven and earth as chessboards and all living beings as chess pieces. , each proves his or her own truth, so these people no longer want to be pawns of the innate ancestral spirits."
Yang Qingyuan said leisurely:
"I will tell you later where the Peng Demon King and the Lion and Camel King are at this time, but you'd better not go directly. I guess those ancestral spirits have been watching you since you were reborn. If you go like this Looking for them will only expose them to the sight of those ancestral spirits."
"Then how can I meet them?"
"We have a place specifically used to meet and discuss matters. It is also a mysterious place that can avoid the perception of the ancestral spirits. I will take you to that place first.
"Going right now?"
"Leave now."
"Okay, let me explain some things first."
Then the senior brother turned his head and looked at Shu Guan.
So Yang Qingyuan also looked at Shu Guan, and his heart moved again.
When he first entered the underground palace, he had already noticed that there was something special about this Nascent Soul practitioner.
The first is that the fluctuation of spiritual power in this young man's body is much weaker than that of a normal Nascent Soul practitioner.
Yang Qingyuan's ability to recognize people was already the number one in the Three Realms under the Innate Ancestral Spirits in the Era of Conferred Gods. A young monk like this in the Nascent Soul Realm could recognize people at a glance without even opening his eyes. Just look transparent.
So at first, Yang Qingyuan thought that this was just the kind of Nascent Soul cultivator who forced a breakthrough and had an unstable foundation.
Knowing that this young man called out "Elder Brother" really shocked him.
But it wasn't the fact that the young man called the Monkey King that shocked him.
It was not because of the Tianyin Demon Subduing Technique contained in the shout. Yang Qingyuan could tell at the first glance that the young man was performing the Tianyin Demon Subduing Technique. It was one of the Taoist techniques used by Heaven to suppress demons and demons. Although it is not a particularly mysterious Taoist technique, it is quite surprising that there are still people who can perform it thousands of years after the destruction of Heavenly Court, but it still does not surprise people like Yang Qingyuan. degree.
What really surprised Yang Qingyuan was that the young man used the Tianyin Demon Subduing Art to actually wake up the Monkey King for a moment when he was on the verge of going crazy. You must know that at that time, he was worried about how to wake up the Monkey King. So as to remind him to bring his crown.
The power of the Tianyin Demon Subduing Technique, when displayed in the hands of this young man, was actually very similar to the power displayed by a Nascent Soul Realm practitioner during the Conferred God Era.
This is what surprised Yang Qingyuan.
In this era when the Great Dao is in such decline, how could anyone make a Dao technique so powerful?
However, Yang Qingyuan was surprised at that time, but compared to the fact that two identical monkey kings appeared in the palace, it was the latter that attracted Yang Qingyuan's attention more.
But just now, Yang Qingyuan once again noticed something that made him a little confused.
That is this underground palace. The dead monkey king in the underground palace was obviously the fault of an innate ancestral spirit.
It's just that this round shouldn't have really started yet, but they were bumped in first.
The problem is, how could a trap set by an innate ancestral spirit be mistakenly entered by others before it is seen by the person who should let him see it.
If you are really careless, if you don't have an extremely mysterious way to hide the secrets here, then you will be in vain as an ancestral spirit.
Before today, Yang Qingyuan had no idea that the heaven had built such a palace hidden in the human palace. Today, if he had not followed the aura of the Monkey King, he would not have been able to discover the existence of this underground palace.
When he came in, the door on the ancient painting was already open.
So, who opened the door in the beginning?
This is the reason why Yang Qingyuan's heart moved not long ago and now it moves again.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this thing was unusual, and the level of unusual was not even much weaker than the appearance of two identical monkey kings.
So Yang Qingyuan immediately asked the green pig:
"Dangkang, who came here first today."
The green pig raised a trotter and pointed towards Shuguan.
"Monkey King, who is he?"
Yang Qingyuan asked again.
"Haha, he was originally a disciple of the Seven Immortals Alliance. I lived in the Seven Immortals Alliance these years, so I got to know him."
As the senior brother walked towards Shu Guan, he turned back to Yang Qingyuan and grinned:
"A very interesting little guy. I guess he was also cultivated by some innate ancestral spirit."
Yang Qingyuan's body trembled slightly when he heard this, and then the divine eye on his forehead opened instantly.
A ray of green light enveloped Shu Guan.
Yang Qingyuan looked at the beams with his spiritual eyes.
