"Listen, things are not as simple as you think! I mentioned this past event because I hope you can truly understand the past of Xuanmen. It is not as perfect as the legend says. In fact, it hides many secrets that you may not know yet. Even your father may only have a vague understanding of these secrets. You know, although you are the emperor now, you may be completely in the dark about these secrets. As for what these secrets are, I will explain them to you slowly later." Master Gu Yuan waved his hand, signaling Fengchen not to be anxious, because if this matter cannot be explained in detail, it will be difficult to grasp the key points.

Feng Chen nodded, indicating that he understood what Master Gu Yuan meant. Seeing this, Master Gu Yuan continued, "After Emperor Cang Yun transcended, five of his disciples were particularly outstanding. They were the Five Emperors of Xuanmen in ancient times. At that time, these five emperors were indistinguishable from each other and jointly controlled the rise and fall of the human race. Almost all the disciples of Xuanmen have learned the methods left by Emperor Cang Qiong. As time passed, more and more people practiced, and there were many peerless masters among them, whose strength could even rival the Five Emperors of Ancient Times."

"Many of the newcomers who came later were not convinced, but due to the prestige of the Five Emperors, there was no major conflict between them. They just each managed their own Taoist school and protected one side of the human race. However, later on, the power of heaven was hidden, and for some unknown reason, the mysteries under the Great Dao were in chaos, and those ancient relics once again brought disaster to the world. After a great war, the human race survived. The Five Ancient Emperors like Baidi joined forces to seal off those troublemakers everywhere. They also reached an agreement with the ancient immortals, demons, ghosts, monsters, Holy Spirits and other alien races, agreeing not to dispute with each other and to live on their own. As a result, the immortals, gods, ghosts, monsters and those ancient creatures each found an unknown place, lived and did not invade each other." At this point, Master Gu Yuan shook his head, as if he was helpless about this period of history.

Looking at Fengchen, Master Gu Yuan continued, "However, worldly affairs are always unpredictable. The five ancient emperors have successively reached the realm of transcendence, and wanted to enter the Zhoutian to continue to protect the human race. But the way of heaven does not allow such existences to interfere in the affairs of the world again. Even if they are hidden and motionless, they still cannot remain between heaven and earth. In desperation, led by the White Emperor, the five emperors were worried about the future of the human race, so they joined forces before leaving and broke the bridge between heaven and earth that connects all races. In this way, the alien races above the Zhoutian no longer come, and the human race below the Zhoutian no longer go. The heaven and earth are not connected to each other, and unless there is a transcendent, it cannot be crossed."

“Although this action saved the human race, it also completely angered Zhou Tian. Because there are atmospheric clouds between heaven and earth to nourish Zhou Tian, ​​the Five Emperors joined forces to break the bridge, and this luck was only obtained by the human race, which naturally aroused public anger. But now that things have come to this, the ancient relics have no choice but to gradually infiltrate and try to find someone who can be bewitched among the human race.” Master Gu Yuan shook his head again, as if sighing at the complexity of this history.

This time, she looked at Fairy Ji Yao, as if she wanted to say something, but swallowed it back. When the words came to her lips, she sighed again: "Ah~ Forget it, let's talk about business first. After the Five Emperors left, the Xuanmen began to become harmonious. But later, the foreign races secretly bewitched, and the arrogant Xuanmen disciples thought that their own way was the orthodox way. They competed with each other, had impure thoughts, and the unconvinced emotions gradually evolved into disputes, which led to the Great Dao Dispute."

"And the culprit of this great Dao dispute is the original owner of your demonic spirit, the Minister Emperor Moyuan. He was originally a direct descendant and had been personally instructed by the Great Emperor Cangqiong. Later, he took charge of the magic path and experienced many cycles of life and death. Each time, he was bewitched by aliens and gradually lost his original heart in the reincarnation. In his last life when he had achieved great success in cultivation, he was completely immersed in it and could not turn back. At that time, the great Dao dispute had become very chaotic, and Xuanmen also showed signs of decline. Even the Tongtian Talisman passed down by Xuanmen was divided in the previous battle between the Five Emperors and the aliens, and each of the thirteen volumes was passed down one by one. The Minister Emperor Moyuan held one volume in his hand, and this volume prevented him from turning into a deity after his death. He could only be sealed in the Demon-Slaying Array in an attempt to eliminate it." Feng Chen nodded continuously after listening to it. His grandfather had also mentioned the origin of the Minister Emperor Moyuan, but he spoke in a rather general way and did not explain his cultivation process in detail.

Master Gu Yuan went on to say, "After the Demon Abyss disappeared, the Great Dao dispute was almost over. At that time, the Human Emperor united with the Five Emperors of Xuanmen, and used the magical power of the Cangxuan Order and the might of the Human Emperor Sword, as well as the military talent of the old Grand Master, to finally quell the dispute. Afterwards, Xuanmen was divided into two major factions, with the Demon Dao being the boss, and ghosts and demons being classified as evil. On the righteous side, the Emperor Garden became the boss, and the five major sects below it all became orthodox."

"In the beginning, the evil ways and the righteous ways were actually similar, both dedicated to protecting humanity and maintaining the peace of all living things. But as time went on, the differences in concepts became greater and greater, leading to disagreements between the two sides. People in the evil ways began to become disorganized and indifferent to worldly affairs. Although they were tolerant of everything, they were also easily tempted by aliens. In the end, some people went to extremes, and bloody incidents occurred frequently. The rapid success of cultivation attracted many people, because human hearts are always greedy, and no one wants to fall behind." Master Gu Yuan shook her head as she spoke, as if when she recalled the evil ways, her heart was filled with unspeakable past events, which made her feel sad.

However, Master Gu Yuan was an expert after all. Her eyes changed and she hid those complicated emotions. "After that, the battle between good and evil went through countless killings. The already declining Xuan Sect was even worse. Until three hundred years ago, the Taoist Master Shenmu of the Han Sect wrote the Purple Mysterious Sutra, which completely caused unrest in the world. First, the Jianyin Sect suffered a devastating disaster, and then there were tragic casualties in the Jiazi War. More than two hundred years have passed. Although the Xuan Sect has recovered now, it has truly reached its last stunning moment and its last ordeal."

"The last tribulation?" Feng Chen couldn't help but ask. Master Gu Yuan had said so much, and he knew almost everything. Only the last sentence, the so-called tribulations of Jing Hong and Xuan Men, Feng Chen connected it to himself, and felt that Master Gu Yuan's meaning was probably related to his innate spirit, after all, the Purple Mysterious Sutra was involved here.

"That's right." Master Gu Yuan nodded. This time she looked at Ji Yao and said slowly, "Three years ago, during the battle in the desert, the Hidden Sword Technique mysteriously appeared, the Demon Slaying Formation was destroyed, the Nine Nether Emperor escaped, and the remnant soul of the Minister Emperor Mo Yuan was also hidden. The Saint of the Bai Family used the Nine Worlds of Fierceness and the Burning Life Changing Heart Technique to exchange for the Innate Spirit, and at the same time, it also touched the blood of the Cloud Phoenix. Later, Long'er used the same method, combined with the burning of his own Xuanyin Saint Body, to forcibly deduct a little bit of the Life Qi, and this was the opportunity."

“Once that child wakes up, he will surely reach the realm of Yun Huang. In addition to the previous turmoil in Leiming Mountain, the secret of Lei Chi was revealed, and the Xuanmen practice of the innate spirit, even the Taiyin Holy Body was perfected here. I think in my Yao Chi lineage, since ancient times, except for our ancestor, only you, Ji Yao, have perfected the Holy Body.” When Master Gu Yuan said this, some of his words were self-evident, but he didn’t know what the involvement was with Feng Chen.

When Fengchen heard this, he immediately perked up, knowing that the following conversation would be crucial. The opportunity and ultimate achievement he wanted from coming to Yaochi this time all depended on the following conversation.

Then, he saw Master Gu Yuan gently move his body and look at the fairy flowers covered with scales in the Yaochi. The master's eyes were full of contemplation, as if he was recalling something, or missing something. Master Gu Yuan gently shook his head, as if he was lamenting the past.

Turning around, Master Gu Yuan faced Feng Chen again and started chatting: "When I was a child, my master taught me, but it was my senior sister who really taught me the way. It can be said that my senior sister taught us like my master. She is both our senior sister and our mother. Sometimes, we can ignore the master's words, but we dare not disobey the orders of our senior sister. Do you know why?"

Master Gu Yuan stared at Feng Chen, his eyes revealing complex emotions, as if he wanted to express something.

Feng Chen thought he understood, so he answered directly: "The seniors are grateful to Master Gu Dao, so they naturally respect him very much."

"No." Master Gu Yuan shook his head, but did not completely deny Feng Chen's words. Instead, he said with a nostalgic smile: "Master had an important mission at that time and had no time to teach us juniors in person, so he asked Senior Sister to teach us Taoism on his behalf. This also made Master feel a little guilty about us disciples and doted on us. His words were usually just reminders, and he would not really punish us. But Senior Sister is different. She raised us and taught us Taoism. We are simply a burden to her. Who can repay this kindness? So what we junior sisters fear most is Senior Sister. She will really take action and will never show mercy."

"However, the stricter she is, the better it is for us. On the surface, she looks serious, but in fact, she cares about us the most. She personally does things like healing and applying medicine, and does not let others interfere. In her words, you know best about things you have done yourself, so as not to waste elixirs." There was a smile in Master Gu Yuan's eyes, but as he smiled, his expression became a little sad. His thoughts seemed to have returned to that era, and a vague figure seemed to emerge in front of him.

After a long wait, Fengchen and Jiyao waited quietly by the side. Finally, Master Gu Yuan retracted his gaze and stared at Fengchen again, saying: "I mentioned these past events to let you know that I still remember what my senior sister told me before she died. I tell you these today, and I hope you can remember them in your heart."

As soon as he finished speaking, Master Gu Yuan turned to Ji Yao again. Fairy Ji Yao naturally understood what he meant, nodded, and responded: "Don't worry, Master, Yao'er will remember it."

"Okay, let me continue." Master Gu Yuan nodded and continued, "When Senior Sister was dying, she told us that as long as the Taiyin Saint Body descends, no matter what she does, we cannot stop her, and we cannot interfere with her fate. Everything is arranged by fate, and everything has a predetermined trajectory."

At this point, Master Gu Yuan paused, sorted out his thoughts, and then continued: "However, the Taiyin Holy Body must not become the Emperor. This is extremely important. Remember, remember! !"

"Why is this?" Although Fairy Ji Yao did not seek the position of emperor, she was curious about the mystery.

Master Gu Yuan was interrupted by her, so he explained to her first: "This involves the inheritance of the Great Emperor, and the Cangxuan Order that connects to the Emperor Temple when the Emperor of Man is enthroned as the successor Emperor on the Fengshan Terrace."

"Cang Xuan Ling?!" Feng Chen was curious, especially about the Cang Xuan Ling. When he was practicing the Que Hai internal energy, the True Yang Diagram was part of the Cang Xuan Ling, which was passed down by the Great Emperor Cang Qiong himself. As for the other half of the Cang Xuan Ling, the Tai Yin Mirror, no one knew where it went. This was exactly the treasure that the Golden Crow Emperor asked him to find. Although what Master Gu Yuan said might not be directly related to the Cang Xuan Ling, since it was mentioned, Feng Chen naturally had to pay attention to it.

"Yes, it's Cang Xuan Ling." Master Gu Yuan nodded, staring at Feng Chen with deep eyes, and continued: "I don't know the specific reason why your father refused to be the emperor, but I guess it may be related to Cang Xuan Ling." His words were filled with respect for Feng Chen's father, and also his confusion as to why Feng Chen's father refused the position of emperor.

Feng Chen didn't know anything at first, but his father had secretly taught him when he was practicing the Quehai internal skills, so he knew a little bit. He immediately agreed: "Senior is right, my father's skills are incompatible with the Imperial Temple, so he refused the position of the Emperor."

Feng Chen only said half of it, because he knew that some things didn't need to be said in full, even when facing a senior like Master Gu Yuan. His parents' teachings when he was a child, the suffering and blood feud he experienced over the years, made him understand the complexity of some things, and some secrets cannot be spoken casually.

Master Gu Yuan did not ask any more questions. He knew that this was just an episode and had little to do with what we were talking about today, so he continued, "Speaking of the Cang Xuan Order, we have to mention the ancestor of Xuanmen. When the Great Emperor Cang Qiong ran away, he left behind a token, which is the Cang Xuan Order. But the Cang Xuan Order people are talking about now is not the ancient one, but the one in the hands of the Human Emperor. It was requested by all the people in the world and condensed the destiny of the human race. The two are very different, so they are used completely differently."

“That token contains the power of Heaven. Although we don’t know how the Great Emperor Cangqiong got it back, the key is that it can guarantee the freedom of the Five Ancient Emperors. Unlike us now, our luck is tied to the human race. It looks glorious, but in fact it is no different from being in jail. Their true spirits are trapped in the Imperial Temple and cannot be freed after death. In the end, their true spirits may dissipate and become the luck of the temple, or they may be trapped in the tombs of the Five Emperors and unable to get out. Except for your grandfather, Old Man Bai, everyone else has the same ending.” Master Gu Yuan shook his head. Although he was unwilling to accept his fate, he could only accept it.

Feng Chen heard the key point, and he realized the problem of the true spirit. His grandfather, the Great Emperor Cang Yun, did not have a true spirit, which might be the reason why he was able to get the opportunity. On the contrary, Feng Chen's father might have transformed his true spirit into a weapon, which was inconsistent with the rules of the Imperial Temple. This might be the reason why he was excluded, not the problem of the practice.
