One Qi Chaoyang

Chapter 448 The Truth Revealed
"They abandoned their hometown, shed their mortal bodies, ascended to the sky, but then came back. Why?" Zhao Fuyun raised his head slightly and asked Master Feng Hong, who was standing on the high platform as if bathed in starlight.

Master Feng Hong placed his hands behind his back and looked up at the stars in the sky. His thin shoulders could not hold up his robe. Under this huge hall and the starry sky, his whole body seemed to be bent by the weight, and he seemed unable to bear the pressure.

His voice held a strange feeling.

"At that time, the world was in chaos, with red flames exploding, and the polar night was like a pool of mud and swamps. Some places were shining with bright light, while other places were dark nights devouring life, breeding demons, and wars everywhere. Both low-level and high-level cultivators were miserable, and they all wanted a peaceful and clear world, a space where they could practice freely without having to fight for their beliefs, ethnic groups, and sects. The sky outside the sky is such a place."

"Legend has it that as long as one can break free of the shackles of this fleshly body and shed the dirt on one's body and go there, one will be able to obtain the status of a god, be free and live forever."

There was a hint of sigh and sarcasm in Master Feng Hong's voice, but for some reason, Zhao Fuyun also heard a hint of sympathy in it.

"There have been many brilliant people who shed their bodies, gave up this land, and headed for the sky. But the sky was not as the rumors said. They were fooled, and they could not come back." said Master Feng Hong.

"Since they can't come back, how did you know, brother?" Zhao Fuyun asked anxiously.

Master Feng Hong sighed and said, "After all these years, someone has finally come back, so someone will tell the truth over there."

"Brother, are you referring to the founder?" Zhao Fuyun asked.

"Yes, the master has been back before." There were bits of starlight emerging on Master Feng Hong's starry robes, echoing the starry sky.

"However, although the ancestor came back, it was only for a short time. Although he did not say it explicitly, he also revealed that everyone who went there was cursed. The curse is called the Curse of the Dharmakaya. Only those who receive this curse can walk freely in the sky tent and have the opportunity to obtain the status of a god."

"What exactly is there?" Zhao Fuyun asked with a frown.

"There are great demons there. They feed on souls and are all slaves. Now they will rush under the tide of darkness and submerge the boundaries of the realm. The starlight will disperse and the boundaries will be broken. When this realm is broken, those who have shed their bodies will come back. They may become evil ghosts and demons, or be reborn. Anything is possible."

Zhao Fuyun sensed a hint of worry and an inexplicable indignation in Master Feng Hong's tone.

"Then I don't know, what can we do?" Zhao Fuyun understood that Tiandu Mountain must do something, and as a member of Tiandu Mountain, he must also do something.

In this situation where the world is turning upside down, no one can escape, or some people can hide and wait until the earth, water, fire and wind of this world are restored to normal before coming out, but the greater possibility is that in this process, they will be crushed to death like a mouse hiding in a cave.

"Do you know about Chiyan being banned?" Master Feng Hong asked. "I've heard of it, but I don't know the whole story." Zhao Fuyun's heart moved and he answered. He had looked for records about this in the mountain collection, but never found any, only some books with various speculations.

"Back then, Daoist Ancestor Daxu attained enlightenment here, and when he left, he separated yin and yang into emptiness and reality. The sky is emptiness, which is yin, and it is dark, while the area we live in is yang, which is reality. However, because yin and yang rely on each other, Daoist Ancestor Taixu said that a catastrophe will befall in twelve thousand years. This catastrophe is the rotation of yin and yang, the conversion of emptiness and reality, and the mutual transformation of the two yin and yang. After the lives in this yang world are transformed into the yin world, most of them will not be able to survive."

"Because the established Dao is basically not suitable for that world, everyone is afraid of the rotation of Yin and Yang. Three thousand years ago, some people believed that the reason why Yin and Yang rotated like this was because Yin and Yang were unstable, so they thought of a way to stabilize Yin and Yang, and the red flame represented the Yang side."

"Everyone believed that if they could stop the red flame, they could stop the rotation of yin and yang. At the same time, the red flame was so strong at that time that it made cultivators suffer terribly. Many cultivators, even those who were cultivating in caves, would feel the red flame's power when they entered a state of concentration, and their sea of consciousness and bodies would be burned in the state of concentration."

"So, many powerful people in the world at that time gathered together to discuss how to stop the red flames. In the end, the task was given to the patriarch of the Yun family, because the red flames were so strong at that time that only the Cloud Ban method could block them a little."

When Zhao Fuyun heard this, he immediately understood that this was the origin of the ban on the Red Flame. However, it was obvious that everyone discussed this in order to freeze the Red Flame and reduce its heat, but the final outcome was that the Red Flame was sealed, or even fell.

"Who were there at that time?" Zhao Fuyun asked involuntarily.

Master Feng Hong obviously had no intention of hiding anything. After looking at Zhao Fuyun, he said, "There is Ye Jun, our Tiandu Mountain Patriarch Peng Yue, the Star Lord of Xingyao Plateau, the Mirror God of the Reflection Sky Mirror, the Little Saint Lord of Shengxi Garden, the Abbot of Jihuo Temple, the Kongming Fairy of Kongming Land, the Snow Beauty of Daxue Mountain, the old patriarch of the Yun family, the Four Venerables, the Immortal Lord of Daluo Heaven, and the Hall Master of the Hall of Rebirth."

When Zhao Fuyun heard these people, he realized that some of them he had heard of before, some he had not. They were all very ancient names.

He was a little surprised that some of the names appeared in it, such as Peng Yue, the ancestor of Tiandu Mountain, the Immortal Lord of Daluo Heaven, and the Master of the Hall of Rebirth.

As soon as one heard the name 'Ye Jun', one could tell that he was related to this deep night. In Zhao Fuyun's opinion, he must be the culprit. He must have changed the final outcome, otherwise this dark night would not swallow up everything.

"I heard from my senior brother that everyone was not discussing about sealing Chi Yan forever, but why did it end up like this?" Zhao Fuyun asked.

"Because someone deceived everyone, someone had other purposes." said Master Feng Hong.

"Who is it? Is it Ye Jun?" Zhao Fuyun asked closely.

"Some people thought so at the time, that Ye Jun and the Yun family were colluding, because the person who could benefit from this was Ye Jun, and the people who could cooperate could not avoid the Yun family. However, when everyone wanted to find Ye Jun, they found that he had returned to the underworld, and someone found the Yun family. A great battle broke out, and the Yun family was almost wiped out."
