Fengyunlu

When Feng Chen heard these words, he was confused, like a kitten being tickled, and couldn't help asking Master Gu Yuan: "Master, you just said that the Five Emperors are not a joke, so is there something fishy behind the Emperor Temple?"

Master Gu Yuan thought for a moment and replied slowly: "If this is a conspiracy, then how could emperors like us, and our predecessors, willingly jump into this pit? The sacrifice here is inevitable, and it can be said that we have no choice. Because the Great Emperor is guarding something of vital importance. The Imperial Temple is actually a super large seal. It not only seals the entire world, but also those big guys in the sky." There were shocking secrets hidden in his words, and it seemed that Fengchen and Ji Yao would need some time to digest it.

Feng Chen and Ji Yao were shocked after hearing this. It turned out that the Imperial Temple was a super-large seal. Doesn't this mean that the entire world is actually a huge formation? They began to wonder who designed such a grand layout, the Great Emperor of the Sky or the Five Ancient Emperors?

The two looked at each other and understood that what Master Gu Yuan said was right. However, they each had their own guesses as to what secrets were hidden behind this.

Fengchen recalled that when he was in Xiuquehai, he heard the conversation between Jinwu Emperor and Jiuyou. It seemed that there was an unknown turmoil in their era. This turmoil could even seal Jiuyou, including all the masters at that time, and some demons and monsters. This fight happened before the Great Dao Fight, and the Five Emperors of Ancient Times should still be there. The Five Emperors are still there, and there is such a fight again, it must be because something big happened. However, Jiuyou Mingdi has escaped, and Jinwu Emperor is now helplessly sleeping. These two people who experienced it personally from ancient times can't tell the truth now, which means that the secret of ancient times cannot be solved for the time being.

Fengchen speculated that from the conversation between Jinwu Emperor and Jiuyou, they seemed to be fighting for something or had some plan, which led to the conflict. It was only later that Jinwu Emperor discovered something or knew something, and finally decided not to participate, but he was still plotted against, his real body disappeared, and his real spirit was also separated and sealed.

However, Fengchen still couldn't figure out what the matter of Jinwu Emperor and Jiuyou had to do with the Imperial Temple or the inheritance of the Five Emperors. This was also the confusion of Fairy Ji Yao. She knew that a great war had taken place in ancient times, and since then the Five Emperors had all transcended, leaving the Imperial Temple to suppress the destiny of the human race. At the same time, the bloodline of the Great Emperor Cangqiong inherited the Taoist tradition, passed down from generation to generation, and was blessed by the Heavenly Dao, enjoying the supreme dignity of the emperor.

However, the emperor does not enter the Xuanmen, which is different from the routine of cultivation. No matter how high the status is, the various sects of the Xuanmen are not greedy. No matter whether it is a dynasty change or a war, as long as they are the descendants of the Great Emperor Cangqiong, no matter how thin their bloodline is, as long as they can make the Emperor Sword stand in the sky, then the Cangxuan Order can suppress the human race, and this is the real emperor of the human race. Therefore, the Xuanmen will not intervene. This is also the flow of the human race itself, an aid to luck, not a disaster.

Fairy Ji Yao thought for a long time, but she was still a little confused about what Master Gu Yuan said, and she didn't understand the secret that Feng Chen had heard. So, she asked directly: "Master, are you saying this to tell us that there is something wrong with this seal?"

"This seal is no joke. It is a treasure left by the ancients. It has gone through countless storms and has long been broken. If it weren't for the ancestors of all generations using their soul power to repair it, this treasure would have been lost long ago. The world would be in chaos, and the disasters of our human race would have been endless." Master Gu Yuan said, shaking his head, and the meaning couldn't be clearer. Those five emperors of Xuanmen were not calculated by others, but they sacrificed themselves willingly. For the future of the human race and for the people of the world, they had to do so. This is what Master Gu Yuan said before, that they had no choice. It is for this reason that countless ancestors, knowing the outcome, are still willing to sacrifice their lives and souls to maintain the balance of the world and ensure that the human race can reproduce and thrive on the earth without being disturbed by the outside world.

Fengchen felt mixed emotions after hearing these words. He had never expected that behind the Five Emperors, there was such a heavy burden. He had thought that the Five Emperors were so glorious and worshipped by the human race, but he had never expected that they had spent their lives in toil, and even their souls could not rest in peace after death, and their true spirits had dissipated. Isn't this the peace that our ancestors exchanged for their lives? Someone is guarding us in secret. They are like the brightest stars in the night sky. Although they have fallen, their brilliance will always shine on us and guide our way forward.

"I really admire your words, but what secrets does this seal involve? What is the so-called disaster? Could it be that even great figures like the Five Ancient Emperors could not avoid it?" Feng Chen couldn't help but ask the question in his heart, which was also what Ji Yao wanted to ask. They were eager to understand the truth behind all this, hoping to find a solution to prevent the same tragedy from happening again.

Master Gu Yuan looked at the two people with puzzled faces and wanted to explain something, but in the end he just shook his head helplessly: "What is involved? Haha, even we old guys don't know. Even the last words of our ancestors didn't leave any clues. There are only some clues that show that this matter is related to Emperor Cangqiong."

"Is it related to the Great Emperor of the Sky?" Feng Chen and Ji Yao said in unison. This ancestor of the Xuan Sect could be said to be the ancestor of the continuation of the human race. There were countless legends about him. Even before he transcended, those mysterious legends made people yearn for him infinitely. His name was like a legendary god, revered by countless people. His stories were passed down from generation to generation and became a belief in people's hearts.

Master Gu Yuan nodded and said, "That should be the case. There are rumors that the Great Emperor of the Sky is not really transcendent, but was framed by someone. The Five Ancient Emperors were also unable to transcend. But this is just a rumor. Who knows whether it is true or not? Maybe someone is deliberately smearing him, or demons are behind the scenes, making up reasons to cause disputes and achieve their goals."

“But the rumors are not groundless, otherwise everyone would not believe them easily. It is said that when the Emperor Cangqiong was about to transcend, the whole world, including the gods and ghosts in the sky, came to watch. Some watched in the dark, and some came forward to ask for advice. In short, everyone present only saw a ray of light. No one knew where it came from or where it went. Wherever the light went, no matter how high the cultivation level was, no one could see it at all. When the light passed across the sky, everyone looked up and found that the Emperor Cangqiong had disappeared, leaving behind only a Cangxuan Order and a sword.” Master Gu Yuan spoke as if he had seen it with his own eyes. His eyes became a little blurred, as if he had really seen the scene at that time.

Feng Chen and Ji Yao listened quietly without interrupting until Master Gu Yuan continued, "The Cang Xuan Ling was snatched away as soon as it appeared. The five ancient emperors joined forces, but only left the sword, which is now the Human Emperor Sword. As for who took the Cang Xuan Ling, no one knows. But the luck of the human race became thin with the transcendence of Emperor Cang Qiong, and the ancient alien races began to covet it. Natural disasters and man-made disasters continued. The five ancient emperors stepped forward in times of crisis, withstood tremendous pressure, and continued the rise and fall of the human race. In the end, they agreed with the four parties not to invade each other, and this is the future of the human race."

"However, the ancient alien races cannot be bound by an agreement. When the five ancient emperors left, they were determined to seal the demons in all directions, blocked the ghosts and monsters in all directions, and left behind the imperial temple, saying that the human race will inherit the five emperors in the future, and anyone who is predestined can enter the temple. But this is only for inheritance. The Taoist tradition they left behind has another explanation." Master Gu Yuan said the key point and turned his eyes to Ji Yao. His words were full of a heavy sense of responsibility, as if telling Ji Yao how heavy the burden on her shoulders was. What she had to inherit was not only power, but also responsibility and mission.

Fairy Ji Yao knew that this was a serious matter, her eyes became serious and she waited attentively for Master Gu Yuan to continue.

But Fengchen had sharp ears and had already figured out something. He interrupted impatiently before Master Gu Yuan finished speaking: "Master, those rumors you just mentioned, if the Great Emperor Cangqiong really met with an accident, and the five great emperors who came after him also suffered with him, then the threat to our human race at that time might not be an invasion by foreign races, but another hidden secret. My own experience tells me that when an innocent person is targeted, there must be a bigger conspiracy behind it, and it might be related to transcendence."

Master Gu Yuan replied softly, "I hope so." There was a hint of worry in his voice.

As for the matter of the Taiyin Sutra, she did not hold out much hope. The Yaochi lineage had been passed down for so many years, and the Taiyin Sutra had long been lost. The ancestors of each generation tried various methods, but the results were all the same - failure. The only thing that was certain was that the Taiyin Sutra had not fallen into the hands of others, and it had been hidden somewhere unknown and had not yet appeared.

Feng Chen was silent. He knew that this matter was not simple and it was not something that a young man like him could handle easily. Even if he had an innate spirit, it was not fully developed yet. Facing many things, he still felt powerless.

Master Gu Yuan pondered for a while, then said to Feng Chen: "I have almost finished talking, now it's up to you."

After saying this, Master Gu Yuan stretched out his hand, and a black brocade handkerchief appeared in his palm. The handkerchief was wrapped tightly, with the four corners overlapping each other, and it seemed that something was wrapped inside, bulging.

Feng Chen was extremely curious. Master Gu Yuan, such a distinguished person, actually took out such an ordinary brocade handkerchief. Although there must be treasures inside, its ordinary appearance made Feng Chen want to find out more.

Fairy Ji Yao also looked up. As the Fairy Lord of Yaochi, she could sense everything in Yaochi. But the brocade handkerchief in Master Gu Yuan's hand seemed to have a mysterious power that blocked everything. Even Ji Yao didn't try to sense it. Her perception was super strong. Everything in Yaochi was clear, even Master Gu Yuan was no exception. But facing this brocade handkerchief, she just couldn't see what was hidden inside.

Master Gu Yuan didn't delay any longer. He looked at Feng Chen and Fairy Ji Yao. Seeing that they were both extremely curious, he said directly: "What is hidden inside is the key to everything that happened today. The future fate of this child depends on his luck now."

As he spoke, he reached out to uncover the brocade handkerchief. As the black brocade handkerchief opened, something in the fairyland of Yaochi seemed to wake up, and an awe-inspiring aura slowly emanated from the brocade handkerchief.

"This is......"

Feng Chen seemed to understand a little bit. Although the dozen or so tiny scales in the brocade handkerchief looked inconspicuous, they were also as big as a thumb. These scales exuded a faint aura and a distant thought, as if they were the product of the primitive era, carrying a breath of primordial origin.

"Could these scales be the things of the Holy Spirit?" Fairy Ji Yao also realized the key and asked this question involuntarily.

Master Gu Yuan nodded and answered affirmatively: "Yes, these scales fell from its body, and they are the treasures in the soft part of its abdomen that protect its vital parts."

Fairy Ji Yao's eyes flashed with a flash of sudden enlightenment, and Feng Chen was also amazed in his heart. He realized that these scales did belong to the Holy Spirit Qilin. But the meaning of Master Gu Yuan's words made him puzzled, why were these scales not on the Qilin?

With a puzzled look, Master Gu Yuan saw through Feng Chen's thoughts at a glance, and then explained: "These scales were given to me by my senior sister before she died. She told me that this thing is very important and needs to be guarded by the Yao Chi lineage at all costs. Therefore, I have always carried them with me. As for why they are so important, I have already said a lot before, and I believe you have understood the key."

"As for how these scales fell off, Senior Sister has also explained it. According to the stories passed down by our ancestors, when Master rescued Qilin, it was already dying and unconscious. Master felt pity and used his great magic power to revive it. Master felt the same breath around it when it was unconscious, a total of more than ten, and brought them back. Later, Qilin woke up and seemed to say something to Master, and then it has been sleeping ever since. After Master checked these scales, Master knew that they were vital to Qilin's life. But due to the special identity and practice method of Qilin's lineage, and because it was extremely weak at the time, Master was worried that forcible repair would hurt its vitals, so he did not take action." At this point, Master Gu Yuan paused and turned his eyes to Feng Chen, as if he had something else to say. "Now, this scale is destined for you, so I will give it to you." Master Gu Yuan handed the scale to Feng Chen. Feng Chen took it and felt a warm power entering his body, which made him feel refreshed.

Fairy Ji Yao asked curiously, "Grandmaster, what is the meaning of giving this armor to Fengchen?" Master Gu Yuan smiled slightly, "This armor belongs to the Holy Qilin, and it contains powerful power. Fengchen has a special mission. Perhaps he can use the power of the armor to solve many ancient mysteries and deal with possible crises in the future. Moreover, Qilin has a connection with our sect, so this can be regarded as a continuation of fate."

Feng Chen held the scales armor tightly, and made up his mind: "Master, don't worry, I will make good use of this scales armor, explore the truth, and protect the human race." Master Gu Yuan nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, I believe you. Next, you can go into seclusion first, integrate the power of this scales armor, and when your strength is improved, you can unlock those hidden secrets." Feng Chen and Fairy Ji Yao saluted solemnly, and then prepared to go.
