Fengyunlu

Master Gu Yuan did not intend to hide it, because she knew Feng Chen would know this sooner or later, and this was indeed related to Yao Chi. The bloodline of the Saint of the Bai family, from ancient times to the present, was naturally related to her: "Of course I can tell you, but when it comes to this, I have to start from the origin of Xuanmen."

Master Gu Yuan sorted out his thoughts and continued, "Above Xuanmen, the Zhoutian aliens were causing chaos, the ancient relics were causing trouble, below Xuanmen, the earth, fire, water and wind were unpredictable, and there were also unpredictable disasters and unpredictable ghosts and gods. At that time, the human race was not even a shadow."

"It seemed as if the Heaven could no longer bear it, and as if the human race was destined to rise, so one man became ruthless and decided to spend his whole life helping the human race. Later, he comprehended the power of heaven and earth and the great principles, and found some ways. Relying on some simple spells, the human race avoided the disaster and survived quietly." Master Gu Yuan was talking about the origin of Xuanmen. Although Feng Chen and Ji Yao knew it, they knew that there must be unknown secrets in Master Gu Yuan's words, so they did not interrupt.

Master Gu Yuan continued, "Later, some of the ancient relics had been hiding for too long and seemed to be unable to hold back. They thought that the world had stabilized, the punishment from heaven had passed, and the disaster was over, so more and more of the relics began to wake up. When they came out, they saw that all kinds of creatures in the world lived in harmony, and even the weak human race was slowly growing stronger. Those creatures left over from the ancient times began to wreak havoc everywhere without restraint, and the human race was not spared."

“At this time, a leader of the human race couldn’t stand it anymore, so he used the secret method left by his ancestors to communicate with the heaven and earth. In the process, he prayed to God to have mercy on all living things, and then there was a method of survival - bestowed by God, which is the legendary Tongtian Lu. There was only one copy of the thirteen Tongtian Lu at the time, and that human leader learned all of them.” Speaking of this, Master Gu Yuan’s eyes were full of yearning, and he lowered his head and stared at the fairy flowers under his feet.

After a while, Master Gu Yuan continued, "Speaking of this, everyone in Xuanmen knows that the leader of the human race is the Great Emperor Cangqiong who founded the Xuanmen sect. We humans rely on the myriad methods of Xuanmen to develop our ways, assist our gods, resist the ancient remnants, and predict good and bad fortune. From then on, the human race was able to prosper, the ancient remnants were no longer a problem, and we were able to deal with disasters in the world."

In this prosperous era, the Emperor of the Sky was very happy, enjoying his brilliant achievements. But suddenly one day, he had a flash of inspiration, and felt that there was a mysterious force in the sky calling him. As a super boss in the world of immortals and gods, his little feeling was definitely not groundless. So, he left a will to explain everything, and then, under the witness of heaven and earth, he bid farewell to this world in a chic manner. Every time Master Gu Yuan mentioned this secret, although the friends of Xuanmen knew a little bit, they were still very excited every time they heard it.

Feng Chen was also eager to become an immortal or a god. The current Xuanmen disciples dared not even think about being able to transcend the heaven and earth like the Great Emperor Cangqiong. Now when Master Gu Yuan mentioned it again, Feng Chen could not help but ask: "Since you mentioned the Great Emperor Cangqiong, he must have left behind a complete set of cultivation methods. Even if there was no Tongtian Lu, Xuanmen should not be so destitute."

Master Gu Yuan waved his hand, signaling Feng Chen not to rush: "It sounds simple, but what I have to tell you is the past of Xuanmen, which is a little different from the legendary version. Although it looks similar, there are big secrets hidden in it. Your father may not know all of it, not to mention that you are the Emperor now, and you may not be able to understand the mysteries inside. What are the specifics, I will slowly tell you in detail later."

Feng Chen nodded, indicating that he understood. Master Gu Yuan continued, "After the Great Emperor Cang Qiong left, the five most powerful disciples among his group of disciples were the Five Emperors of Xuanmen in ancient times. At that time, the Five Emperors worked together to jointly control the fate of mankind. The disciples of Xuanmen knew some of the methods left by the Great Emperor Cang Qiong. Over time, more and more people practiced, and there were many geniuses who could rival the Five Emperors of ancient times."

“Among the up-and-coming talents, some people were not convinced, but the Five Emperors were the Five Emperors after all, so everyone still lived in peace. They just took care of their own sects and protected the land and water of mankind. Later, the power of heaven was not obvious. I don’t know why the secrets under the great way were messed up, and those ancient relics began to harm the world again. After a great war, mankind survived. The five ancient emperors like Baidi joined forces to seal those disasters everywhere. They also made an agreement with the ancient immortals, demons, ghosts, monsters, holy spirits and other alien races to stop fighting and live in peace. As a result, the immortals, gods, ghosts, monsters and ancient creatures each found a mysterious place to live in peace and not invade each other.” At this point, Master Gu Yuan shook his head, as if he was helpless about the past.

Looking at Fengchen, Master Gu Yuan continued, "But, things are unpredictable. The five ancient emperors have all reached a state of transcendence and wanted to continue to protect mankind. But the way of heaven does not allow such beings to interfere in worldly affairs. Even if they remain silent, they cannot exist between heaven and earth. In desperation, the five emperors, led by Baidi, were worried about the future of mankind, and before leaving, they joined forces to destroy the bridge that connects all races. In this way, the alien races in the sky cannot come down, and the people on the earth cannot go up. Unless there are transcendent people, no one can cross."

“Although this trick saved humanity, it also completely angered the Way of Heaven. The heaven and earth are nourished by the atmosphere and clouds, and the Five Emperors destroyed the bridge, so all the destiny belonged to humanity, which naturally aroused public anger. But now that things have come to this, the ancient relics have no choice but to infiltrate slowly and try to see if there is anyone who can be bewitched among humans.” Master Gu Yuan shook his head again, as if he regretted the result.

Her eyes suddenly turned to Fairy Ji Yao, and she seemed to have something to say. She opened her mouth, but in the end she only sighed: "Alas, forget it, let's talk about business first. Since the Five Emperors left, the Xuanmen was quite harmonious, but not long after, the foreign races made trouble behind the scenes, making those arrogant Xuanmen disciples think that only their own way is the right way, so they began to compete with each other and had constant friction. In this situation, because of impure thoughts and no one was willing to submit to anyone, the dispute slowly evolved into a dispute over the great way, and the struggle for the orthodoxy began."

"The culprit of all this is the original owner of your body that was possessed by the evil spirit before, Chen Di Mo Yuan. He was originally a direct disciple and was personally instructed by the Great Emperor Cang Qiong. In the process of mastering the magic way, he experienced countless life and death tests. Every time he reincarnated, he was bewitched and influenced by the alien race, which eventually led to his state of mind being unable to return to its original state. At that time, the dispute over the Great Dao had become a mess, and the Xuanmen began to show signs of decline. Even the Tongtian Talisman inherited by the Xuanmen was destroyed in the battle between the Five Emperors and the alien races, and the thirteen volumes were scattered. Chen Di Mo Yuan held one of the volumes in his hand. This Tongtian Talisman prevented him from dissolving after his death, and he could only be sealed in the Demon-Slaying Array, hoping that this would eliminate the dispute." Feng Chen nodded continuously after listening to these words. His grandfather had also mentioned the origin of Chen Di Mo Yuan, but he spoke in a rather general way and did not elaborate on Chen Di Mo Yuan's practice.

Master Gu Yuan continued, "After Mo Yuan's death, the struggle for the Great Dao gradually subsided. The Human Emperor at that time united with the Five Emperors of Xuanmen at that time, using the power of the Cang Xuan Order and the might of the Human Emperor Sword, supplemented by the military power of the old Grand Master at that time, and eventually gradually suppressed the struggle. After that, Xuanmen split into two factions, with the Demonic Path as the leader, and ghosts and demons as the evil path, while the righteous path was led by the Emperor Garden, and under it there were five major sects, all claiming to be orthodox."

"In the beginning, the evil ways only had different philosophies from the righteous ways. They also protected humanity and the people, but they did not plot against each other and kept a certain distance from each other. But as time went on, the evil ways became a mixed bag, and they were ignorant of the secular world. They taught everyone without distinction, and were bewitched by alien races. Eventually, some people went to extremes, and bloody events began. The quick success of cultivation attracted most people, because there is always greed in people's hearts. Once they have the opportunity to be superior to others, they are unwilling to fall behind." Master Gu Yuan kept shaking his head as he narrated this, as if he felt deeply sorry for the difficult past contained in the evil ways.

However, Master Gu Yuan was an expert after all. Her eyes moved slightly, and she hid her thoughts. "The subsequent battle between good and evil can be said to be several rounds of killing. The already declining Xuan Sect was even more difficult to revive. 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 was destroyed without warning, and then there were the tragic casualties in the Jiazi War. More than two hundred years have passed. Although the Xuan Sect has improved a little now, it has truly reached its last stunning moment, and it has also truly reached its last ordeal."

"The last tribulation?" Feng Chen couldn't help asking. Master Gu Yuan said so much, almost all of which he already knew, except for the last sentence, the so-called stunning moment and the tribulation of Xuanmen. Feng Chen connected it to himself. He guessed that what Master Gu Yuan meant was probably related to his innate spirit, after all, the Purple Mysterious Sutra was involved.

"That's right." Master Gu Yuan nodded. This time, she turned her gaze to Ji Yao again and said slowly, "Three years ago, during the battle in the desert, the Hidden Sword Technique mysteriously appeared, and the Demon Slaying Formation was destroyed. The Nine Nether Emperor was able to escape, and the remnant soul of the Minister Emperor Mo Yuan also lay dormant. The Saint of the Bai Family gathered the fierceness of nine generations, and exchanged it for the innate spirit through the Burning Life and Changing Heart Art, and at the same time touched the blood of the Cloud Phoenix. Later, Long'er also used the same method, relying on the burning of his own Xuanyin Saint Body, to forcibly deduct a little bit of the life energy. This was an important opportunity."

“Once that child wakes up in the future, he will surely become someone with the power of Cloud Phoenix. In addition to the previous turmoil in Thunder Mountain, the secret of Thunder Pool was revealed, and the innate spirit practiced the Xuanmen, and even the Taiyin Holy Body was perfected in the process. Looking back at my Yao Chi lineage, since ancient times, apart from our ancestors, only you, Ji Yao, have perfected the Holy Body.” When Master Gu Yuan said this, some of his words were self-evident, but Feng Chen was not sure how it was related to him.

When Feng Chen heard this, he immediately perked up, knowing that the real highlight was coming. Whether he could find the opportunity to change his fate during this trip to Yaochi depended on the following conversation. He took a deep breath, calmed down, and prepared to listen to every word that Master Gu Yuan said next, because these words would determine his future and whether he could find his own opportunity in Yaochi.

Then Master Gu Yuan turned around and looked at the fairy flowers covered with scales in the Yaochi Lake. His eyes were full of memories and emotions, as if he was reminiscing about the past, or recalling something. He shook his head, as if he was recalling the past events about the Yaochi Lake, and every bit of his master and senior sister, which made him feel very emotional.

Turning around, Master Gu Yuan looked at Feng Chen again and began to tell: "I received teachings from my master when I was a child, but it was my senior sister who preached in the end. It can be said that my senior sister is both our teacher and our mother. Sometimes, we can ignore what the master says, but we never dare to disobey my senior sister. Do you understand the mystery here?" There was a hint of sadness in his words, as if he was telling an unknown past.

Master Gu Yuan looked at Feng Chen with complicated eyes, as if he was looking for a suitable opportunity to share the secrets hidden in his heart, those about his senior sister, about Yao Chi, and about the emotional entanglement between them as master and disciple.

Feng Chen thought he understood, so he answered directly: "The seniors are grateful and naturally have great respect for Master Gu Dao." He tried to respond to Master Gu Yuan's question with his own understanding, hoping to get the master's approval.

"No." Master Gu Yuan shook his head, but did not completely deny it. He smiled and said with reminiscence: "Master had important responsibilities at that time and had no time to take care of us juniors, so he asked senior sister to teach on his behalf. This also caused Master to feel guilty, and he was particularly doting on us disciples, so Master's words were just warnings and he would not really punish us. But senior sister is different. She brought us up and taught us, and we, junior sisters, are simply a burden to her. Who can repay this kindness? So when senior sister beats and scolds us, we never complain, and we even blame ourselves. What we junior sisters are most afraid of is senior sister. She can be really ruthless and show no mercy." His words contained both respect and fear for senior sister, as well as nostalgia for that time.

"But the stricter the senior sister is, the more she cares about us. She looks serious on the surface, but secretly she cares about us the most. She personally heals and applies medicine, and does not let others interfere. She says she knows best how to do it herself, so as not to waste spiritual medicine." Master Gu Yuan smiled, but he felt a little sad. His thoughts seemed to have returned to that era, and a figure seemed to appear in front of him. He seemed to be recalling the strictness and care of the senior sister, and the warmth he felt in pain.
