"Gu Xiu, do you admit your guilt?"

This sudden shout seemed to echo in my ears.

Look sideways.

Gu Xiu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Next to him, on the throne of the sect leader, Guan Xuelan was sitting upright, looking down at him with a look of deep disgust in her eyes.

"Sect Master! When Gu Xiu was feeding the fairy crane, he deliberately mixed bone-dissolving powder into its food, causing the fairy crane to die tragically. This disciple can testify to this!"

"It's fine if you just quibble, but you actually want to frame others?"

"Gu Xiu, more than five hundred years ago, you were upright and daring, but now you have become like this. You even deliberately poisoned the sect's fairy crane with hatred in an attempt to frame others!"

"..."

Under Guan Xuelan's questioning, Gu Xiu discovered that the figures of Xu Wanqing and Lu Qingyao also appeared beside him one after another.

It was exactly the same as the day I left the sect in my memory.

The three people looked at him with eyes full of disgust and hatred. Gu Xiu could even see the coldness hidden in Xu Wanqing's compassionate eyes, and the pride and expectation hidden in Lu Qingyao's beautiful eyes. Even Guan Xuelan, who seemed to be blinded, actually had a calmness in her eyes that seemed to have seen through all the truth.

She already knew that Gu Xiu was wronged.

But even so, she still chose to take the opportunity to hold Gu Xiu accountable and punish him.

but……

Now facing this scene again, Gu Xiu's heart was no longer disturbed. He ignored the three people who were still scolding him, but simply ignored them, turned around and looked at another empty space, and said:

"Your Excellency invited me here, didn't you, just to see my past?"

It seemed as if he was speaking to the air.

But the moment he finished speaking, Guan Xuelan, Xu Wanqing and Lu Qingyao, who were originally noisy and demanding accountability, suddenly shattered into pieces, turned into a wisp of green smoke, and disappeared without a trace.

It’s not that Gu Xiu returned to that day again, but rather that they were all illusions.

When the surrounding phantoms disappeared, a golden throne quietly appeared in front of Gu Xiu. A middle-aged man in brocade clothes sat on it. He was looking straight at Gu Xiu with a confused look in his eyes.

"I'm indeed curious about your past."

"Because I can't see clearly how long you used to be."

"Length?" Gu Xiu was curious.

"Yes, the length of the past." The other person nodded, his eyes still filled with doubt. "Your past is obviously not that long compared to some people who have lived for a very long time, but I feel that your past is more than just this short."

These words made Gu Xiu raise his eyebrows slightly.

He probably understood what the other party meant. His past was indeed complicated, because it was not as simple as choosing to betray the sect in the Qingxuan Sect Hall. He also experienced a glance of ten thousand years in the sect hall. Even now, even Gu Xiu himself could not clearly explain what that glance of ten thousand years was.

Fortunately.

This person didn't dwell too much on Gu Xiu's past. He said, "You must be very curious about who I am, where this place is, and what I asked you to do."

Gu Xiu nodded.

"I am the Lord of the Cangming Holy Land," the other party said directly, "and this is the True Land created by the Cangming Divine Land using a power similar to time and vision. I called you here because I hope to make a deal with you."

The Lord of the Cangming Holy Land?

True domain?

transaction?

These three pieces of information made Gu Xiu raise his eyebrows slightly, and then he thought of the series of strange phenomena that appeared in the ruins of Cangming Divine Realm before:

"Were you the one who tried to persuade us to leave earlier?"

"It's me." the other party replied.

"Why are you trying to persuade us to leave?"

"Because if you continue forward, not only will you die, but you will also completely harm the Cangming Holy Land."

This answer surprised Gu Xiu slightly, but before he could ask further questions, the man who claimed to be the Lord of the Cangming Divine Realm had already spoken, "When you came here before, I heard you talk about the Cangming Ancestral Dragon. I'm sure you've heard of this story too, right?"

"The story of Cangming Zulong has long become a myth in the mortal world. Many people have heard of it. When you mentioned this, do you mean to say that it is true?" Gu Xiu asked.

The other party replied: "Half true, half false."

"Oh? Then which ones are true and which ones are false?" Gu Xiu asked doubtfully.

But I heard the other party say:

"Cang Ming does exist, the evil invasion is true, and even our greed that completely wiped out Cang Ming's chance of resurrection is true."

"What's false is that our clan has not really been destroyed."

"In fact, our clan tried many methods in the hope of slaying the evil spirit. We paid a lot and sacrificed a lot for this. In the end, we actually succeeded."

These words.

Gu Xiu couldn't help but have his eyelids twitching wildly, and he subconsciously turned his head to look in the direction of the Star Skeleton Dragon Tree. Unexpectedly, even though he had passed through this golden divine gate and even though he was in a special realm at the moment, he could still see the dazzling and gorgeous Star Skeleton Dragon Tree over there.

The legend of the Cangming Ancestral Dragon is a mythological story that is already known to everyone in the mortal world.

The content is not complicated.

Dragon Ancestor Cangming is omnipotent and can be regarded as the guardian god of a world. However, this world was invaded by evil spirits. Dragon Ancestor Cangming stepped forward to fight against the evil spirits and was successful in the end. However, he himself died of exhaustion and turned himself into the power to feed back to the world. His origin even turned into the Star Skeleton Dragon Tree, which produced Star Skeleton Dragon Fruit.

But there is a glimmer of hope, that is, once it can condense and form 749 star skeleton dragon fruits and form a complete star map, the dragon ancestor Cangming can be resurrected and come back again.

Those who are protected by it have always adhered to this point, working hard to maintain the Star Skeleton Dragon Tree, hoping for Cang Ming's resurrection.

But after the evil spirits learned about it, they misled people and instigated them not to revive the illusory Cang Ming, but to pick the Star Skeleton Dragon Fruit from Cang Ming. As long as one ate one, they could ascend to heaven in broad daylight and become an immortal.

finally.

The evil spirit succeeded, and people were instigated to completely forget their oath and began to fight for the Star Skeleton Dragon Fruit, and even wars broke out.

Until the evil spirit is resurrected, strikes again, and begins to destroy the world.

And this time.

Without the protection of Cang Ming anymore, the whole world will be destroyed.

This story can indeed fool ordinary children, but most cultivators who have embarked on the path of cultivation scoff at it. After all, there are many loopholes in this story. Not only has the Cangming Ancestral Dragon never heard of it, but no one believes that one can ascend to become an immortal by taking one Star Skeleton Dragon Fruit. Such a thing simply does not exist in this world.

Some people even say that if one can really ascend to heaven by eating a Star Skeleton Dragon Fruit, why don't those ascended immortals come to save the world when evil spirits invade?

Gu Xiu also didn't believe this myth. After all, everything in this myth didn't match Haoyu.

Most of them are just regarded as inspiring myths.

but now……

Is the myth true?

Did the Ancestral Dragon Cangming really exist? Did evil spirits invade and destroy the world? Was it even true that eating a Star Skeleton Dragon Fruit could lead to immortality?

Looking at the figure sitting on the golden throne in front of him, Gu Xiu was still a little confused.

"I know that no one wants to believe these things. I can explain them to you." The other party took the initiative to say:

"The legend is true, because it is exactly what we in the Cangming Divine Realm experienced."

“But it’s not true.”

"It's because of the legend of Cangming Divine Realm, not what happened in Haoyu."

"You mean..." Gu Xiu's eyelids jumped: "The Cangming Divine Realm doesn't belong to Haoyu?"

"Yes." The other party nodded:

"The Cangming Divine Realm was once a realm slightly smaller than the Haoyu, but not much smaller. In fact, there has never been only the Haoyu in this world, but many, many different worlds."

"And the myths about the Cangming Holy Land that spread throughout the vast universe are all about our Cangming Holy Land."

"But now..."

"You saw it too."

"The Cangming Holy Land has been destroyed. Even those who are still alive can only rely on such means to survive."

There weren't many words, but the content they revealed caused a stir in Gu Xiu's heart.

The existence of myriad worlds in this world is actually no longer a secret.

At least for Gu Xiu, during the five hundred years when he was bound in the forbidden area, Gu Xiu had seen many existences and unique powers that did not belong to Haoyu. But to be honest, since returning from that forbidden area, apart from the existences like Eclipse that he saw later, there were no more clues.

but now.

The words of the Lord of the Cangming Holy Land were a complete conclusion.

In this world, there is indeed not only Haoyu, there are even worlds like Cangming Holy Land that are smaller than Haoyu!

Next, the Lord of the Cangming Holy Land began to tell Gu Xiu about the Cangming Holy Land and the Ancestral Dragon Cangming.

First of all.

The Cangming Holy Land is much smaller than Haoyu. Unlike Haoyu, which has numerous sects and divine dynasties, the Cangming Holy Land has always had only one force.

The Holy City of Cangming was built bit by bit by the Dragon Ancestor Cangming.

Everyone there believes in the Ancestral Dragon Cangming. Even the skills they practice and the techniques they use are passed down to them by the Ancestral Dragon Cangming.

But later, the legendary event happened.

The Ancestral Dragon of Cangming died in battle, and the Star Skeleton Dragon Tree took root, sprouted, and began to bear fruit. However, due to the instigation of evil spirits from outside the domain and human greed, the resurrection of the Ancestral Dragon of Cangming became a distant prospect, and eventually the evil spirits destroyed the world.

However, that battle was not a complete crushing victory.

After all, there are people in this world who are blinded by greed and harbor evil intentions, but there are also people who can stick to their original intentions. In fact, after the invasion of evil spirits, except for the beginning, the Cangming Holy Land was beaten back step by step. But later, when the Cangming Holy Land organized a resistance, the two sides engaged in an extremely long tug-of-war that even spanned thousands or tens of thousands of years.

That battle was very long and brutal, and at its worst, even the Cangming Holy Land almost collapsed.

But at least.

The people from the Cangming Holy Land are still holding on and cannot be killed in a short time.

but……

When a battlefield is stuck in a stalemate for a long time and neither side can destroy the other in terms of absolute strength, naturally, some thought is needed, not to mention the evil spirits from outside the domain who are good at manipulating people's hearts.

The evil spirit from outside the domain changed its methods at that time.

Due to the long period of war, although the Cangming Holy Land is riddled with holes, it is more united than ever before, so the evil spirits from outside the domain simply set up a big plan and give away loopholes.

Give them the opportunity to get close to the Star Skeleton Dragon Tree and resurrect the Dragon Ancestor Cangming.

The opportunity did arise.

At that time, the top masters of the Cangming Holy Land gathered a force and planned to launch a surprise attack to recapture the Star Skeleton Dragon Tree that was controlled by the evil spirits from outside the domain, but the final result was obvious.

They lost.

"We always thought that even though the Star Skeleton Dragon Tree had been controlled by the evil spirit from outside the domain for ten thousand years, they were unable to take away its power. But when we actually went to the Star Skeleton Dragon Tree, we realized that it was impossible for Dragon Ancestor Cangming to be resurrected. All of its power had been stolen long ago, and it had even become a trap."

"In fact, the purpose of those evil spirits from outside the domain coming to the Cangming Holy Land was not just to occupy our Holy Land, but also to devour all the power of Cangming."

"They want more than just the Star Skeleton Dragon Tree."

"They also want the entire Cangming Holy Land. Whether it's that world or those of us who live in that world, we are actually part of the Cangming's power. What they want is to obtain the complete power of Cangming!"

"That time, all our masters were wiped out, and we only had one to face next."

"Kill!"
