Daozu... something went wrong...
Upon hearing this answer, Han Yun's breathing suddenly stagnated. He only felt a buzzing in his head, and all kinds of messy thoughts and ideas came to his mind at the same time. Then, they all turned into four words:
This is impossible!
He took a deep breath and looked at the black mist in front of him in surprise.
At this time, the black mist was surging quietly and did not continue to speak.
The secret room suddenly fell into an eerie silence, leaving only the sound of Han Yun's wheezing breathing and his extremely fast pounding heartbeat.
Time passes slowly.
After Han Yun was shocked for a long time, he finally recovered and suddenly laughed out loud.
"Mr. Jin, I have to admit that the joke you told is really funny."
"What kind of person is the Taoist Patriarch? He holds the stars in his hands and steps on thousands of paths. He stands alone at the top of the immortal road. No matter how time goes by and eras change, he remains firm and unmoving."
"The years of his existence have surpassed all historical records today."
"Some people even say that when he created the current practice system, the land we are stepping on now has not yet taken shape, and is just a scattered stardust in the endless chaos."
"It was him who used his supreme means to forcibly gather them together, and this is how Tianlan Realm became today."
"With his level, even if the world is annihilated and the world reopens, he will not be harmed at all!"
"Mr. Jin, although I, Han Yun, am stupid, I really can't find a reason to believe what you said..."
Hearing this, the black mist shook again, and said in a calm tone:
"Han Yun, I'm not surprised that you would react like this... In fact, if the positions between you and me were reversed, I wouldn't believe it now."
"But no matter what, the fact is that there is indeed something wrong with Daozu."
When Han Yun heard this, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
He asked solemnly:
"Is there any evidence?"
The black mist continued to vibrate and responded:
"I don't have direct evidence. Even if there is, it's not something I can access due to my identity."
"However, some side situations can support this matter."
"For example, I heard that if you monks who inherit this practice system can enter the realm of divine transformation, they will find that the originally stable ten thousand ways between heaven and earth are abnormal and show signs of instability."
"Also, in fact, I am not the only one in the Ming Sect who knows about Dao Ancestor's problem."
"The senior figures in the Taoist Academy and the other three sects, including Xuanzong, your superior sect in Lingxin Valley, are also aware of this matter."
"This world is about to face a catastrophe. This matter is no longer a secret among the high-level monks in the Tianlan Realm."
"Even these sects with their first sects have already started taking action long ago to find ways to deal with the disaster."
"Among them, the achievements of our Northern Territory Ming Sect and Southern Territory Dragon and Phoenix Sect should be the most impressive. Our Ming Sect has completely broken away from the cultivation system created by the Taoist Ancestor and formed its own lineage."
"The Dragon and Phoenix Sect in the Southern Territory specializes in the method of controlling beasts. In addition, the spiritual beasts originally have two immortal creatures, the dragon and the phoenix, as demon ancestors. They have a natural advantage and have found a relatively bright path forward. .”
"Their path seems to require the contracted spirit beast to use some special means to transform the spiritual power originally inherited from the Tao Ancestor into the most primitive and pure demon power from the two demon ancestors, Dragon and Phoenix."
"As companions of spirit beasts, human monks from the Dragon and Phoenix Sect, even if their own spiritual power has problems, they can still use the demonic power in the spirit beast's body due to the contract, and the impact will not be too big."
"The one that is slightly behind is the Hehuan Sect of the Western Region, but... their monks major in the Seven Emotions and Six Desires, which is inherently different from the orthodox inheritance left by the Taoist ancestors."
"I heard that we are now close to success. We are just one step away from being able to completely break away from the Dao Ancestor system."
"As for the last remaining sect, your Xuanzong lineage in the Eastern Region..."
Having said this, Heiwu suddenly paused and did not say any more.
Seeing this, Han Yun asked eagerly:
"Mr. Jin, what's going on with our Xuanzong lineage in the Eastern Region? Keep talking!"
Seeing how urgent he was, Heiwu pondered for a while before continuing:
"I can't say... I don't know much about Xuanzong's current information because their senior officials deliberately concealed it."
"However, you can still roughly guess that the situation is not optimistic."
"Because your Xuanzong lineage has always practiced the most orthodox Taoist inheritance. In the past, when the Taoist ancestors were not in trouble, it was the most powerful sect."
"But it is precisely because of this that it is also the most difficult for you to find a new way out of this quagmire."
"I have vaguely heard that several disciples of Xuanzong seem to be imitating the methods of the other three sects with the support of high-level officials, hoping to find some opportunities."
"I just don't know if it's effective now."
When Han Yun heard what Heiwu said, he couldn't help feeling a little chilled in his heart.
Unknowingly, his confidence in the Tao Ancestor had been shaken.
Because what Heiwu said has a beginning and an end, a cause and an effect, and it really doesn't look like it was just made up on the fly.
Daozu...could something really go wrong...
Thinking of this possibility, Han Yun shuddered suddenly.
He hesitated for a moment and asked:
"Mr. Jin, if the catastrophe you mentioned is about to come and our Xuanzong lineage monks still fail to find a way to break away from the Taoist system, what will happen?"
Heiwu was silent for a moment and responded:
"There are four ways in total."
"The first one is to destroy your entire body and turn to the Ming Sect of the Northern Territory to practice the art of controlling corpses."
"The second one is to destroy your entire body and turn to the Hehuan Sect to cultivate the path of lust."
"Third, find a spiritual beast, find a way to become a companion of life and death, form a common understanding, and follow the path of beast control."
"It's just that...choosing any one of these three paths will also represent the disintegration and complete demise of the behemoth Xuanzong."
Hearing this, Han Yun subconsciously thought about the scene Hei Wu said, and immediately a feeling of sadness surged in his heart.
Millions of years of inheritance turned into nutrients and were absorbed by the other three sects.
I wonder how many monks there are in Xuanzong who would be willing to make such a choice.
He sighed and continued to ask:
"Mr. Jin, what is the fourth way... you mentioned?"
Hei Wu chuckled and replied:
"The fourth way is to not choose any of the previous options."
"When the great catastrophe comes, the monks whose lifespan has not exceeded the limit of mortals will have their cultivation dissipated and become pure mortals. The monks whose lifespan has exceeded the limit of mortals will directly lose their souls and their bodies will turn into dust and mud in the world."
