Fengyunlu

Jinwu Huang saw through Fengchen's thoughts. He didn't want to scare Fengchen, but wanted to analyze the pros and cons and find a better way. After all, the "good fortune" Fengchen mentioned was closely related to the thing he couldn't let go of. If this thing was messed up, it would not be good for Fengchen's future practice. Moreover, he also saw some clues about Fengchen's fate and felt that this kid was not ordinary. Since the road ahead is unknown, don't take risks easily. This is a bit like the hexagram of Tiantong Tongjun.

After thinking about it, the Golden Crow Emperor slowly opened his mouth: "When talking about curses, we have to mention the Qilin lineage. It is said that a long, long time ago, when the world was first created, the three ancient elements separated into a chaos. This chaos felt the creation of the world, so it took shape and brought vitality to the world. Later, all things were born, and the three ancient elements exhausted their origin, leaving behind their respective bodies and a trace of true spirit, and turned into three divine beasts. There is the ancestral phoenix of the flying bird in the sky, the sacred beast Qilin on the ground, and the other three ancestral qi greedily included the five elements of heaven and earth, giving birth to the ancestral dragon." As the Golden Crow Emperor spoke, his eyes were full of memories, as if he was recalling something in the past that he did not want to look back on, and a trace of unwillingness appeared on his face.

After a while, the Golden Crow Emperor seemed to recall some heartwarming memories. He looked up at Fengchen and said, "In ancient times, the three elements each transformed themselves and lived freely. At first, the world was vast, and there were many kinds of creatures. There were immortals and gods occupying high positions, and there were demons and monsters dominating the earth, fire, water and wind. These ancient creatures were independent and did not interfere with each other. But as time went on, some minor frictions were inevitable, and then opposition arose. The two sides refused to give in, each holding their own opinion, and finally it turned into a war. The brutal war, the fight between life and death, was the great catastrophe of the heavens later." He paused, as if recalling those distant past events, "But this statement is too old, and no one knows the situation at that time. They are all Taoists. It's hard to tell the truth from hearsay. But I personally experienced the Longhan catastrophe. I was still young at the time and could only watch my people die tragically, powerless to change anything. Looking back now, even in my prime, facing that unprovoked disaster, I might not have been able to do anything. In that battle, the Ancestral Dragon and Phoenix and the sacred beast Qilin appeared at the same time. In such a powerful battle, no one could change anything unless they were the ancestors of Xuanmen. It was a pity that the human race was too weak at that time and there was no protection from Xuanmen. Even the Five Ancient Emperors or the Emperor Cangqiong of Xuanmen were not born during the Longhan catastrophe. "At this point, Fengchen understood that the Golden Crow Emperor was going to get to the point, so he stopped interrupting and waited for him to continue.

The Golden Crow Emperor told Fengchen all this in order to make him understand the key to the curse of the Qilin lineage, so that he would have a clear idea. Then he said: "The Dragon and Han catastrophe lasted throughout the last years of the ancient times, and lasted for several epochs. Almost all the holy spirits participated in this war, even the immortals, demons, and monsters participated in it. As for why they were fighting for a key thing, no one knew. Because the Ancestral Dragon and Ancestral Phoenix both died in the war, their immortal bodies turned into the original Ancestral Qi, returned to their bodies, and could no longer come out. The last Ancestral Qi, that is, the holy beast Qilin, at the most critical moment of the Dragon and Han catastrophe, that is, after the Ancestral Dragon and Ancestral Phoenix fell, when all the participants fought to the death, the Heavenly Dao could not bear the collapse of the world and was about to send down the punishment from the sky. In order to save as many creatures as possible from the ancient three-element evolution, it blocked most of the heavenly catastrophe with itself, in exchange for the life of all the participants at that time. Although there are surviving holy spirits, they are no longer the same as before. There are still holy spirits in the world. Although there are not many, they are still powerful and cannot be compared with most creatures such as the human race."

At this point, the Golden Crow Emperor was somewhat emotional, with a complicated expression. He paused for a moment and continued, "After that, the punishment from heaven lasted for a long time, and countless holy spirits, immortals, demons, and monsters perished. The human race was weak and was not targeted by the punishment from heaven, and was able to survive because of the sacrifice of the sacred beast Qilin. The human race regarded the sacred beast Qilin, which was covered in colorful clouds and reflected the entire Zhoutian, as the incarnation of auspiciousness." He smiled, as if recalling an ancient legend, "Later, the Great Emperor of the Sky rose, and the human race prospered. A weak race became the master of the Zhoutian. Those holy spirits naturally refused to accept it and began to target the human race. The Great Emperor of the Sky had just mastered the Taoism, and was unable to fight against the strange beasts in the sky. In order to protect himself, he took his people to hide everywhere, and at the same time taught the Taoism to his people. In this way, the Xuanmen Great Sect came into being. Some holy spirits began to help the human race, including the Qilin lineage. Although the bloodlines of the dragon and phoenix clans are rare, after the Five Emperors of the Xuanmen became famous, the human race became strong and began to befriend the human race. The White Emperor married Yun Huang and left offspring, continuing the bloodline."

When the Golden Crow Emperor said this, he looked at Feng Chen and shook his head. Feng Chen didn't understand what he meant and thought he was talking about himself, so he quickly asked: "Senior, just tell me what you have to say, I will do everything I can." The Golden Crow Emperor smiled faintly: "Nothing, but when I talked about this, seeing your current appearance, I remembered the past. At that time, everyone said that Yun Huang married Bai Di to lower her status. Now it seems that Yun Huang got the advantage."

"Oh? Why do you say that, senior?" Feng Chen asked curiously. After all, this was about Baidi and Yunhuang. He had the blood of the two ancestors flowing in his body, and it might also be related to Bai Yu's situation, so he was eager to know.

The Golden Crow Emperor said proudly, "I used to be very powerful. As the leader of a clan, I had to find some benefits for my clan members. There are many opportunities in the battlefield of the Longhan catastrophe. Ordinary people dare not go, but we, the ancient descendants, including your Xuanmen practitioners, have gone to explore one after another. I was trapped there and heard people talking about the marriage of Baidi and Yunhuang. There was a lot of cursing, saying that the ancient gods were self-degrading. Later, I got out of the trap and wanted to educate my clan members and take advantage of the opportunities on the battlefield to revive the Golden Crow clan. After all, in the ancient times, our Golden Crow clan was powerful and comparable to the Phoenix clan. But my strength is limited and I can't restore the past glory. Just when I was about to vigorously develop my clan members, a scary thing happened between heaven and earth."

"All the holy spirits and ancient relics suddenly received a mysterious call, as if there was a mysterious place they had to go to. I was also attracted there, but found that not only us ancient relics, but also masters like the Five Emperors of Xuanmen, as well as ghosts and demons, had gone there. So many powerful people were in that place. Later, the emperor of the Qilin lineage also came. But as soon as he arrived, the heaven and earth shook, thunder and lightning struck, and natural disasters came. Even if the people present were very powerful, no one could guarantee that they could survive in this situation. The power of the thunder was terrifying." The Golden Crow Emperor said, with fear in his eyes.

Feng Chen was curious, what kind of power could bring so many masters together and cause such a terrible disaster. This must be a conspiracy planned by someone, but who is behind it?

Feng Chen asked: "Senior, this disaster was man-made, right? Who has such great ability to calculate all the powerful people at that time?"

The Golden Crow Emperor shook his head. "It was too chaotic at the time, and we didn't figure out who did it. Even now when I think about it, I can't figure out who could have such strength and such means."

Feng Chen asked again: "After the disaster, everyone suspected that it was done by the human race, because Baidi and his people were blessed and possessed the enviable Tongtian Lu."

The Golden Crow Emperor nodded: "That's right. Everyone wanted to grab the Tongtian Scroll at that time. The chance to survive was right in front of them, and a war was about to break out. But I admire Baidi. His power alone almost frightened most of the people. In the end, the Qilin lineage came forward and begged for a chance of survival."

Fengchen noticed that when the Qilin lineage was mentioned, the Golden Crow Emperor had a strange expression. But he didn't say anything, because he knew that many things were hard to tell right from wrong. The Golden Crow Emperor did his best for his people. It's like people eating grains and slaughtering livestock. From the perspective of livestock, humans are also demons. But the human race is strong, and the weak can only bear it and have no power to resist. In the final analysis, this is the natural law of heaven, the survival of the fittest, there is no right or wrong, and there is no resentment.

Feng Chen remained silent. The Golden Crow Emperor pondered for a while and then continued, "The Qilin Emperor came alone before. Maybe he sensed something was wrong in advance and arrived last. He restrained his aura as soon as he arrived. Because he had some friendship with the human race, he hid beside the White Emperor and the others. When everyone was coveting, he and Yun Huang came out to mediate and used the power of the Tongtian Talisman to protect everyone. In addition, everyone joined forces to use the power of the Tongtian Talisman to open a gap, so they escaped. In this way, everyone present can be said to have saved their lives."

“However, not long after, strange things happened to the lineages of the Ancestral Dragon, Ancestral Phoenix, and Qilin. Anyone who had contact with them would be saddled with a strange curse, and the death energy would emerge from the depths of their hearts, and it would be difficult to get rid of. Even if one had extraordinary abilities, one could only watch oneself slowly die. At that time, the three tribes had few people to begin with, and with this disaster, the three ancient tribes became more and more decadent, and their members left one by one in strange ways. In the end, even the emperors of the three tribes could not escape the curse.” After the Golden Crow Emperor finished speaking, there was a hint of emotion in his tone, his eyes full of memories.

Feng Chen felt that someone must be behind this, so he asked, "If this is the case, wouldn't the human race be trapped in a situation where they are surrounded by enemies? With such a curse, the human race will definitely have a hard time at that time."

The Golden Crow Emperor shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Alas! Not only was it difficult, but at that time, the ancient descendants began to slaughter and the sky was full of demons. All the alien races, including me, wanted to eliminate the so-called scourge of the human race. If it weren't for the strong strength of Baidi and others, hehe, I guess there would be no human race in this world long ago."

"But this war lasted for hundreds of years and underwent several relocations. In the end, the human race was defeated, and the Zhoutian alien race was not much better. At this time, the moment of the decisive battle has finally arrived. The human race is headed by the White Emperor, the alien race respects the ancient times, and tens of thousands of demons obey the orders of Jiuyou. The three parties launched a decisive battle in the ruins of the Longhan catastrophe." The Golden Crow Emperor said, and then shook his head with a complicated look, as if he had returned to that ancient times, when the three parties fought a war, with the human race fighting one against two. Just think about how tragic it was.

After the Golden Crow Emperor finished speaking, he looked at Fengchen thoughtfully: "At that time, the three parties were about to fight, but they were interrupted by a shocking sound. The sound was like a huge bell or a heavenly drum, rumbling, and you could hear it no matter where you were. When this strange thing happened, everyone received emergency messages from their tribesmen. In addition to the three ancient tribes, other tribes also encountered mysterious enemies, and their tribesmen died mysteriously, just like the curse of the three ancient tribes. Everyone could only watch their tribesmen die, but they didn't know what was going on, and they didn't know how to break it."

"Due to this situation, the war had to be temporarily stopped. After everyone went back, they could only watch their clansmen die, but they didn't know the reason or how to solve it. Half a year later, news suddenly came that the three ancient clans were attacked, and the enemy was mysterious and numerous. No one in the Zhoutian knew who this mysterious enemy was. It was as if they suddenly appeared, and their strength was powerful. The weakest enemy was only slightly weaker than me." The Golden Crow Emperor frowned and said helplessly, indicating that he still hadn't figured out who this mysterious enemy was.

Feng Chen was becoming more and more curious. Such a secret, apart from people like Jin Wu Huang who had experienced it in ancient times, there were probably not many people in the entire Xuanmen or even the entire world who could tell a rough idea of ​​it. Even if others had heard of it, it was just a legend. As for the ancient relics and other Zhoutian alien races, they could not be seen or found now, and most of them were not many left. They were all hiding and did not come out, so it was estimated that they did not know much about the inside story.

Feng Chen asked: "Senior, have you ever fought with this enemy at that time?" He didn't want to know how strong the enemy was, he just wanted to know their origins. If the Golden Crow Emperor had fought with them, maybe he could find some clues. After all, he didn't know that there was another Taiyao Immortal Emperor outside. The secrets of the Five Emperors Temple might contain some records. In addition, the methods passed down by the Five Emperors might have some speculations or countermeasures.

But the Golden Crow Emperor shook his head and said, "I am ashamed to say that when I heard about what happened, I thought that even the three ancient tribes were attacked and almost died. We, the later bloodlines, would definitely not be able to stop it. So we gathered together to discuss it, but after talking for a long time, we still felt that the human race was the culprit. After the three ancient tribes were attacked, the Zhoutian alien race prepared to take action for half a year, intending to wipe out the human race in one fell swoop. During this time, the human race thought that everything was fine, so they relaxed their vigilance. Baidi and Yunhuang went to the Zufeng tribe, but they didn't expect that this trip would happen on the eve of the war."

In that ancient and mysterious land, there were three powerful tribes a long time ago. They were once very powerful. But suddenly, a group of mysterious enemies emerged and kept attacking the three tribes. These enemies seemed to only capture people but not kill them. As a result, in less than half a year, the three tribes fell into an unprecedented crisis. At this time, Baidi heard the news and hurried to the Golden Nest, but found that the Phoenix tribe was fighting fiercely.
