Fengyunlu

When Fengchen heard this, he was so nervous that he dared not breathe. He knew that the following conversation was crucial, and it was related to whether he could find the opportunity he wanted in this trip to Yaochi. The direction of his fate and whether he could finally get good fortune all depended on this conversation. He watched Master Gu Yuan turn slightly and cast his eyes on the fairy flowers covered with scales in Yaochi. The master's eyes were full of deep thoughts, as if he was recalling something, and as if he was reminiscing about something. Master Gu Yuan shook his head gently, as if he wanted to get rid of those thoughts.

Then, Master Gu Yuan turned around and faced Feng Chen again and began to tell: "When I was young, my master taught me, but the one who really taught me the Tao was my senior sister. She is like our mentor and the mother of us brothers and sisters. Sometimes, we can ignore what our master says, but we never dare to disobey our senior sister's orders. Do you know why?" Master Gu Yuan looked at Feng Chen, his eyes full of complex emotions, as if he wanted to convey something difficult to express in words.

Feng Chen felt that he understood, so he answered directly: "The seniors are grateful to Master Gu Dao, so they respect her very much." But Master Gu Yuan shook his head, neither completely denying Feng Chen's words, but with a smile of reminiscence, he said: "Master was shouldering a heavy responsibility at the time and could not teach us personally, so he asked Senior Sister to teach us on his behalf. This also made Master owe her a little, so he doted on her too much. His words were often just warnings, and he would not punish us. But Senior Sister is different. She raised us and taught us Taoism. We, her disciples, are undoubtedly a burden to her. Who can repay this kindness? Therefore, we never dared to complain about Senior Sister's scolding, and even often blamed ourselves. What we fear most is Senior Sister. She will really take action, and she is ruthless."

"But the stricter she was, the more she cared about us. She seemed serious on the surface, but in fact, she loved us the most. She personally supervised matters such as healing and applying medicine, and never let others interfere. She said that if I did it myself, I would know clearly, so as to prevent others from wasting elixirs." Master Gu Yuan said with a smile in his eyes, but as he smiled, a hint of sadness appeared, as if he had returned to that era, and a vague figure seemed to emerge before his eyes.

Feng Chen and Ji Yao waited quietly on the side. After a long while, Master Gu Yuan retracted his gaze, looked at Feng Chen again, and said: "The reason why I talked about these past events is to let you know that I still remember what my senior sister said before she died. I tell you this today, and I also hope that you can remember it in your heart."

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

"Okay, then I will continue." Master Gu Yuan nodded and continued, "When Senior Sister was dying, she told us that as long as the Holy Taiyin Body descends into the world, no matter what she does, we must not stop her in the slightest, and we must not get involved in what happens to her. Everything should be left to nature, and everything has a destiny."

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 want to become the Emperor, she was still curious about the hidden story.

Master Gu Yuan was interrupted by her and 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 was enthroned on the Fengshan Terrace to succeed the Emperor."

"Cang Xuan Ling?" Feng Chen was also curious, especially about the Cang Xuan Ling. When he was practicing 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. The other half of the Cang Xuan Ling, the Tai Yin Mirror, was missing, and it was exactly what the Golden Crow Emperor asked him to find. Although what Master Gu Yuan said might not be directly related to it, since it involved the Cang Xuan Ling, Feng Chen couldn't help but pay more attention to it.

"That's right, it's Cang Xuan Ling. Your father refused to become the emperor back then. Although I don't know the specific reason, according to my speculation, it is most likely related to the Cang Xuan Ling." Master Gu Yuan nodded, looked at Feng Chen, thought about his father's affairs, and continued to speak.

Feng Chen was not aware of these things at first, but through cultivation and exploration of the inner world, he gradually understood these secrets. His father also explained to him in secret, and he also knew about these things. Therefore, when Feng Chen asked this question, he immediately agreed: "It is indeed as the predecessor said, my father's life fortune is not compatible with the fortune of the Imperial Temple, so he refused on the spot." Feng Chen only said half of it, because he understood that some things do not need to be told in full, even to anyone. When he was young, his parents taught him that some things do not need to be told in full. He has experienced a lot of pain and suffering over the years, and his blood feud has also made him understand the truth.

Master Gu Yuan did not dwell on this question, because it was just an extra episode and had little to do with the topic they were discussing today. He said to himself: "Speaking of the Cang Xuan Order, we have to mention the ancestor of Xuanmen. When the Great Emperor Cang Qiong escaped, he left behind a token, which is the Cang Xuan Order. But that token is not the one we are passing on now. The Cang Xuan Order in the hands of the Human Emperor today was requested by the people of the world and condensed by the destiny of the human race. It is not the token that was taken back by the Great Emperor Cang Qiong from the Heavenly Dao in ancient times. There is a world of difference between the two, so they are also used differently."

"That token possesses the power of Heaven. Although we don't know how the Great Emperor Cangqiong got it back, the key to its use is that it can ensure the freedom of the Five Ancient Emperors. Unlike us now, our luck is connected to the human race. It seems to be glorious, but in fact it is like a prisoner. The true soul is trapped in the imperial temple and cannot be free after death. In the end, the true soul will dissipate and turn into the luck of the great temple, or enter the tomb of the Five Emperors and cannot escape. In this regard, except for your grandfather, Old Man Bai, who has no true spirit, the final destination of everyone else is the same." Master Gu Yuan couldn't help shaking her head. She had already determined her future. Although she was unwilling, she could only accept her fate.

Feng Chen heard the key point. He understood that if we don't mention the true spirit, his grandfather, the Great Emperor Cang Yun, didn't have a true spirit. Perhaps it was because he knew his own fate that he didn't practice this way and tried to find another possible ending. And his father must have been a true spirit incarnation, which was inconsistent with the Imperial Temple. Perhaps this was the real reason why he was ostracized, not because of any problem with the practice.

Thinking of this, Feng Chen couldn't help but ask: "If what the senior said is true, then the Five Emperors are not blessed, so is the involvement of the Emperor Temple some kind of conspiracy?"

“If this is a conspiracy, then how could emperors like us and our ancestors before us be willing to do so? This involves sacrifices that have to be made, and it can be said that we have no choice. Because the Great Emperor is guarding the supreme key, and the Imperial Temple is also a huge seal. It seals the entire world and also seals the heavens.” Master Gu Yuan said slowly. The secret is so big that Feng Chen and Ji Yao need some time to digest it.

Feng Chen and Ji Yao were shocked when they heard these words. They realized that the so-called imperial temple was actually a huge seal, which meant that the whole world was a huge formation. So who was the master of this? Was it the Great Emperor Cangqiong or the Five Ancient Emperors?

Feng Chen and Ji Yao looked at each other, and both knew that what Master Gu Yuan said was true. But they each had their own guesses in their hearts. Not to mention Ji Yao, Feng Chen recalled the conversation between Jinwu Emperor and Jiuyou when he was in Xiuquehai. It seemed that an unknown turmoil had occurred in their era, which was able to seal Jiuyou and included all the masters at that time, as well as some demons and monsters. That fight took place before the Great Dao Fight, and the Five Emperors of Ancient Times should still exist. At that time, the Five Emperors had not left, and there was such a fight again, which must have been something earth-shattering. But Jiuyou Ming Emperor had already escaped, and Jinwu Emperor was now helplessly sleeping. These two people who came from ancient times and personally experienced the turmoil could not say anything at this moment, which meant that the ancient secret could not be known for the time being.

However, Fengchen inferred that some of the information revealed between the lines of the two people at that time should be that the two sides were fighting for something or had some plan, so the two sides took action. It was only later that the Golden Crow Emperor noticed something or knew something, so he chose not to go at the last moment, but he was not spared and was eventually assassinated, resulting in his real body being unknown and his real spirit being separated and sealed.

However, Fengchen still couldn't figure out what the connection between the two of them and the Emperor Temple or the inheritance of the Five Emperors was. This was also the confusion of Fairy Ji Yao at the moment. She knew that a great war had taken place in ancient times, and since then the Five Emperors of Ancient Times had all transcended at the same time, leaving the Emperor Temple to suppress the destiny of the human race. At the same time, the blood of the Great Emperor Cangqiong inherited the Taoist tradition, and was the Human Emperor who was blessed by the Heavenly Dao and enjoyed the destiny of the human race.

In this world, although the Human Emperor has a respected status, they are not willing to join the Xuanmen practice, which is inconsistent with the general rules of the practice world. Despite this, the various Xuanmen sects have no desire for the status and power of the Human Emperor. Regardless of the change of dynasties or the rise and fall of war, as long as there are descendants of the Great Emperor Cangqiong, no matter how thin their bloodline is, as long as they can make the Human Emperor Sword stand in the sky, their Cangxuan Order can be suppressed above the human race and become the true emperor of the human race. In this case, the Xuanmen will not intervene, so when the world is turbulent and the dynasties rise and fall, it is rare to see the Xuanmen participate. This is the flow of the human race itself, it is the assistant of destiny, not a disaster.

However, after thinking for a long time, Fairy Ji Yao still didn't understand the true meaning of what Master Gu Yuan said, nor did she know what the secret Feng Chen had heard was. So, she asked directly with doubt: "Master, you mentioned this, are you trying to say that there is something wrong with this seal?"

Master Gu Yuan immediately replied, "Of course there are some problems. This seal is a legacy from the ancient times. It has gone through countless turmoil and changes, and has long been devastated. If it weren't for the true spirits of our ancestors dissipating to replenish it, I'm afraid this seal would never have been passed down to us. If that were the case, the world would have been in chaos long ago, and disaster would have followed for the human race."

Fengchen was moved after hearing this. He had never thought that the Five Emperors would be like this. He originally thought that they were in great glory and worshipped by the human race, but he did not expect that their fate had already been determined. They worked hard all their lives, and their true spirits would dissipate after death. This is the peace of the world that countless ancestors exchanged their lives for, and someone is silently guarding it in secret.

"I can only admire what you said, senior. But what secrets are involved in this seal? What is the so-called disaster? Could it be that such people as the Five Ancient Emperors could not have avoided it at that time?" Feng Chen couldn't help but raise his doubts, which was also what Ji Yao wanted to ask.

Master Gu Yuan looked at the two people in front of him and wanted to explain, but in the end he just shook his head helplessly: "What it involves, haha, I and the others don't know, no one knows. Even the last words of the ancestors, we don't know whether they are true or false. Maybe someone deliberately discredited it, or maybe it was a demon secretly bewitching, making up reasons to cause disputes, so as to do what they hate."

"But the rumors do have some traces after all, otherwise the world would not believe it easily. It is said that when the Great Emperor Cangqiong was about to transcend, the whole world, including countless immortals, gods, ghosts and demons above the heavens, came to comprehend, or watched in secret, or asked for advice in person. In short, all the people present only saw a beam of light that came from nowhere and went to nowhere. No matter how high the cultivation level is, it is impossible to observe the light. When the light passed across the sky, everyone looked up, and the Great Emperor Cangqiong had disappeared without a trace, leaving only a Cangxuan Order and a sword." Master Gu Yuan said it with fascination, and even his eyes became a little empty, as if the scene at that time appeared in front of him, and he was probably fantasizing about that desirable scene.

Feng Chen and Ji Yao did not interrupt, quietly waiting for Master Gu Yuan to continue. Master Gu Yuan continued: "The Cang Xuan Order was snatched on the spot. The five ancient emperors attacked at the same time, but only left the sword, which is now the Human Emperor Sword. As for the Cang Xuan Order, no one knows who got it. However, with the transcendence of the Great Emperor Cang Qiong, the luck of the human race became extremely thin. Ancient alien races coveted it, and natural and man-made disasters continued to strike. The five ancient emperors were ordered to continue the rise and fall of the human race under the pressure of the heavens in times of crisis. Finally, they agreed with the four parties not to seize and invade each other, and this is how the human race has a future."

“However, can the ancient alien races be bound by an agreement? When the five ancient emperors left, they were resolute. They sealed the four directions to kill demons, blocked the eight directions of ghosts and monsters, and left behind the imperial temple, saying that it was the inheritance of the five emperors to the human race in the future, and anyone who is predestined can enter the temple. But this is only for inheritance, the Taoist tradition they left behind is another explanation.” Master Gu Yuan came to the key point and turned his gaze to Fairy Ji Yao.

Fairy Ji Yao also understood the importance of the matter, her eyes became serious, waiting for Master Gu Yuan to continue. But Feng Chen heard the key point at this time, and without waiting for Master Gu Yuan to continue, he asked directly: "The rumors that the senior said, if the Great Emperor Cang Qiong was killed, the five emperors who came later were also killed. According to this inference, our human race was not harmed by alien races at that time, and the real hidden danger was probably in the transcendence. From the experience of the younger generation, the common people are innocent, and I think the human race is coveted by others."
