Yinshan Record

Chapter 161 Primordial Ancient Times
After seeing Wuzhiqi off, Su Che pondered for a while.

With this water monkey swaggering around, probably no one except Zhongyuan would know that the Azure Emperor's Treasure Garden is on him.

Thinking of this, Su Che pulled out the book "Taiyu Abi Sword" given to him by the mysterious swordsman who called himself Kuyun Sou from his sleeve.

Young Master Su only believed 30% of what the old man withered clouds said.

However, one thing is certain: the Yin-Yang realm is in big trouble.

But what does this have to do with me?

With a thought, Su Che summoned Chang Le, the spirit that guarded the Azure Emperor's Treasure Garden.

"Greetings, Little Sage."

Chang Le first bowed and then praised, "The little sage's appearance is quite impressive."

The imperial robes, when worn, exude this kind of air.

"How are those two doing?"

Yan Bixing of the Cangtian Sect and Huang Kou, the genuine Northern Mang Sword Burial Master of the Northern Mang Ghost Ancestor Palace, were deliberately left in the Qingdi Treasure Garden by Su Che.

Firstly, we wanted to use these two to test how much power the ancient treasure, the Azure Emperor's Treasure Garden, still possessed after several upheavals.

Secondly, these two are also fifth-rank experts, so it would be best to trap them inside and torture them for a while, which would make it easier to carry out subsequent actions.

“Besides Mr. Yan Bixing, who still curses incessantly, Mr. Huang has been worn down quite a bit.”

Chang Le exclaimed in admiration, "The Little Sage's strategy is flawless. Placing these two within the Xuan Yuan Nine True Divine Restriction is truly the right remedy."

Within the Azure Emperor's Treasure Garden are seven divine restrictions, all of which are the most powerful divine formations in this realm. Among them, the Nine True Mysterious Primordial Divine Restriction corresponds to the Great Sun Qian Yuan True Fire, and is the most yang and fierce.

Huang Kou, a mere ghost cultivator, was scorched by the Great Sun True Fire every day; one can imagine his suffering.

As for the other one, Yan Bixing, although he is an extremely rare demonic cultivator who takes the path of body refinement, how far has he cultivated to be that he can regard the violent Great Sun True Fire as nothing?
"Let's go see them."

The Divine Restriction is built upon the ancient treasure of the Azure Emperor's Garden, and is almost an illusion, with the world it conjures being no different from reality.

After a brief teleportation, Su Che found himself standing on a patch of scorching yellow sand.

"Is this the Nine True Divine Restrictions of the Profound Origin?"

Su Che looked up at the sky above, which was tinged with endless crimson, with nine great suns hanging high in the air. Layers of heat waves poured down from these nine suns, making the yellow sand under his feet look like burning coals.

"Exactly."

Chang Le said, "The Nine True Divine Restrictions of Xuan Yuan are a silhouette taken by the old sage from the ancient times. Using this as a framework, it serves as a divine restriction that carries the Great Sun Qian Yuan True Fire. It is also the most complete divine restriction in the Azure Emperor's Treasure Garden at present."

Su Che nodded. Chang Le's words were indeed correct. Before, whether in the Spirit Garden or the Azure Heaven Palace, although the power was still there, he always felt that something was missing.

As the core of the Azure Emperor's Treasure Garden, the Eastern Palace is indeed the best-preserved part at present.

"A silhouette from ancient times?"

Su Che looked at the scene before him, unsure how to describe it.

The history of cultivation in this world is too long, so the most standard way of recording time is to divide the past into the ancient, prehistoric, medieval, and recent periods.

The ancient times are very distant, and any records from that era have evolved into legends. It is said that there are still detailed records in the Lingjiu Temple of Buddhism and the Xuandu Palace of Taoism, but they are all kept in secret and not shown to the public.

Even the major Xuanmen sects today, such as Huangtiandao, Tianshidao, and Shenxiaodao, only have records dating back to the ancient and medieval periods.

However, according to current popular accounts, it was an era when ancient Buddhas and Taoist masters traversed the three thousand great worlds, established a lineage in this realm, and began cultivation in the human world. It was also an extremely tragic era.

Because the ancient demon race dominated this world in that era, and the path they cultivated was called the "Path of Annihilation Saints". They had no moral constraints and no control over their power. Sometimes, a single reproduction would cause a catastrophe in the world, and the whole world trembled in the snoring of these demon races in their sleep.

It is said that those ancient, exotic creatures born with boundless magical power are descendants of these ancient demon races.

The end of the Primordial Era was marked by the annihilation and subjugation of these Primordial Demon Races by cultivators from all walks of life. The establishment and continuous growth of the Xuanmen and Buddhist sects formed the backdrop of the entire ancient era.

This era began with the defeat and annihilation of the ancient demon race and ended with the disappearance and collapse of the Five Emperors. This era was also the era in which Confucianism and sword cultivation emerged. Many major events occurred during this era, and the current mainstream Xuanmen sects all appeared at the end of this era.

The period from the disappearance of the legends of the Five Emperors to the end of the great chaos in the Central Plains is known as the Middle Ages. The history of this era is very well documented, and it was the era of human dynasties. If one had to assign an adversary to this era, it would be the ever-growing threat of the extraterrestrial demons, with each family and lineage constantly fighting against them.

Similarly, the Northern Demonic Sect and the Southern Wilderness Demonic Sect, which existed since ancient times, also grew stronger and gained momentum in this era.

Of course, there was still a unified dynasty in that era, and there were still many legendary stories.

With the collapse of the last unified dynasty, the divided Central Plains entered the near-ancient era, which lasted for several hundred years until the formation of the "present" marked by the confrontation and opposition between the North and the South.

Su Che looked at the yellow sand beneath his feet. Was the Azure Emperor Ling Weiyang, who became a legend at the end of ancient times, also a passerby in the Primordial Era?

The ancient demon race must have left a deep impression on him back then, which is why he engraved this scene in the core location of the Azure Emperor's Treasure Garden.

“The power of the ancient demon race is completely different from that of later cultivators.” Changsheng looked at the nine great suns shining in the sky: “These are the nine great demons who cultivated the true fire of the sun back then. Although they belong to different races, they are all equivalent to nine suns that will never go out.”

"The first battle in the expansion of the Xuanmen was the killing of these nine great demons who had refined the Great Sun True Fire, led by the Xuandu Palace."

Xuandu Palace.

Su Che read the name of this powerful Xuanmen clan again.

This is the real evil force.

Was the whole world like this desert back then?

"No, those nine great demons, though powerful, could only influence an area of ​​100,000 li in radius. At that time, there were at least a thousand such great demons. Some of the places they lived were deserts like this, while others were endless ice plains."

Nearly a thousand...

This world seems quite resilient, able to withstand the turmoil caused by these powerful demons.

No wonder Ling Weiyang loves the spiritual roots of heaven and earth so much. If I had grown up in such an environment, I would definitely have moved to the rainforest for a few years to adjust my mood.

Suddenly, a giant beast the size of a small mountain leaped out from beneath the sand dunes. It had a serpentine body, four wings on its back, and scales that shimmered like gold all over its body.

It let out a loud roar and flew upwards, and suddenly thunder rumbled between heaven and earth.

"Tengshe" (Soaring Serpent).

Looking at the strange dragon in the sky, Su Che couldn't help but admire the completeness of the Xuan Yuan Nine True Divine Restriction.

As the master of the Azure Emperor's Treasure Garden, Su Che could naturally sense what the Teng Snake, which had obtained the dragon seed, was doing.

Its lifespan was coming to an end, and because it could not transform into a true dragon, it chose to fly upwards until it reached the limit of its magical power.

Once it reaches this extreme point, the Tengshe will dissipate all the true essence of the Wutu that it has painstakingly cultivated, turning it into a cloud of ashes.

This is the last act of perseverance belonging to the dragon race.

If it cannot transform into a dragon, then it will turn into ashes.

Within this Xuan Yuan Nine True Divine Restriction, because it is not the true world, the creatures that evolve within it will not have the possibility of successfully transforming into true dragons unless the divine restriction actively changes in response to an enemy.

Therefore, this serpent could only face a glorious demise.

"The Teng Snake has a lifespan of eight thousand years. If it can survive the heavenly tribulation and successfully transform into a dragon, it can become the Yinglong."

Changsheng looked at Su Che and said.

"Little sage, time waits for no one, you must not forget to strive for cultivation."

The ash, shimmering with golden light, slowly fell from the sky, like a dust rain.

Su Che looked up at the nine great suns radiating endless heat in the sky.

Compared to the Taiyi Ximu Divine Restriction, which requires external force to trigger changes, the Xuanyuan Jiuzhen Divine Restriction is essentially a small world in itself.

The spirits within are no different from real life.

The fact that Huang Kou and Yan Bixing were able to survive for so many years in this simulated ancient wilderness suggests that the legacy of the Northern Mang Ghost Ancestor Palace and the Cangtian Sect must be comparable to that of the ancients.
