Chapter 688: Heaven is not answering

"Qilin lineage?" The Golden Crow Emperor's eyes were complicated. He found some information floating in Fengchen's sea of ​​consciousness. Although it was intermittent and unclear, he was sure that it was information unique to the Qilin lineage, and the owner of the information was of high status. Even if he was not in charge of the lineage, he was probably the hope of the entire clan. He was curious about how Fengchen encountered it. This information seemed to be asking for help, as if he was looking for some solution, but because it was too vague, the Golden Crow Emperor had to think about it carefully.

Feng Chen watched him thinking and knew that the information he had recorded might be a little inconsistent. Of course, it was also quite vague, and he had done his best to be able to preserve it in bits and pieces. So he explained it to Jin Wu Huang again.

"You mean, this injured Qilin is the one left by Long Han?" The Golden Crow Emperor looked surprised. The Long Han catastrophe happened before him, so he was not very clear about some things. But as a holy spirit and coming from ancient times, he knew more than Master Gu Yuan and the others.

Feng Chen nodded: "Yes, according to Yao Chi, it was Emperor Xuan who saved it in the beginning, but before he could completely cure it, something big happened, so it has been delayed until now."

Oh my, this is a really tough question! The Golden Crow Emperor frowned and shook his head, muttering to himself: "If I run into an ordinary Qilin, what does the little conflicts in the tribe mean? I can come up with a solution as soon as I think about it, without any effort at all. But this Qilin in front of me, oh my, its eggshell hasn't even cracked, and it has been injected with the blood power of the tribe, mixed with the dead energy after the war."

This is the real tricky part. The Golden Crow Emperor knew that the Qilin's problem was not a simple skin injury. Even if he found its weak spot, no treatment would work unless the dead energy was completely cleared. As for the information conveyed by the Qilin, although the Golden Crow Emperor did not understand it completely, he guessed it was almost right. The Qilin had its own will in the egg, which was its soul. If the power of blood was forced upon it, it might be unwilling in its heart, but it could not resist physically.

In other words, the reason why this Qilin took the initiative to contact Fengchen was because it felt that Fengchen could help. That's why it sent signals again and again. Every time Fengchen was emotionally unstable and murderous, it tried to call him. This was probably because of the dead air, that is, the resentment left after the war. The first two messages can be regarded as confusion, and the last intermittent and laborious message is what Qilin really wants to say.

It was tortured by the death energy, confused by the resentment, and was seriously injured for unknown reasons. Its body was as weak as paper, but it had managed to hold on for so many years. It was barely alive. Now, it has reached its limit and cannot be saved. If it continues, it will soon be completely controlled by the resentment, and then its state of mind will not be able to be maintained. If it is rescued, it will be like saving a big trouble. After all, it is a holy spirit from ancient times. Even if it has been healing, its strength is still very strong. At least, its current strength has exceeded the imagination of Fengchen and his Xuanmen. Once such an existence goes astray, the consequences will be serious, and all living beings in the world will suffer.

The Golden Crow Emperor shook his head again. "The information was so confusing that I can't quite figure it out. However, there is a way to save it, but it's very risky and could cause big trouble. I've finished, think about it carefully. If it's not necessary, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. On the contrary, if it really has to be saved, it's better to seal it up completely now while it's weak. When you're strong enough and no longer afraid of it, it won't be too late to find a way to save it."

"What do you mean, senior?" Feng Chen heard the deep meaning in Jinwu Huang's words, and it seemed that some things were difficult to say directly. But since he asked, Jinwu Huang thought it would be best to persuade him not to get involved.

The Golden Crow Emperor smacked his lips. He had seen through Fengchen's mind before and knew that this kid was as stubborn as a bull. Once he made up his mind, there was no way he could change his mind. And the matter of the Qilin was closely related to Fengchen's fate and his childhood sweetheart fiancée. In this case, it was simply an impossible task to get him to let go. So, the Golden Crow Emperor could only shake his head helplessly.

After a long silence, he said slowly, "Forget it, I'll tell you in detail."

As the Golden Crow Emperor spoke, he pointed at the information conveyed by the Qilin and explained to Fengchen: "You know that this Qilin carries an extremely heavy curse, and the karma it has brought is so heavy that even the Emperor Xuan, who saved it back then, couldn't bear it. If it weren't for the help of the White Emperor, the legend of the Five Emperors' transcendence would only be a matter of four people. The Emperor Xuan was bitten by it, and although she didn't die, her Yao Chi lineage would probably be finished."

"Curse?" Feng Chen was shocked after hearing this. Although he was a little confused when he heard the news at first, he thought carefully that even a big figure like Emperor Xuan needed the help of Emperor Bai to barely withstand it. He was a junior who had just entered the sect. Once he was entangled by the curse, he would not be able to avenge his great hatred and see Bai Yu saved. He could not bear such regret. Besides, this Qilin was not familiar with him. If it were not for the so-called good fortune, he would not be hesitant here. Therefore, he was in a dilemma, not knowing whether to continue trying.

The Golden Crow Emperor saw through Fengchen's thoughts at a glance, but he didn't do it to scare him, but to analyze it clearly and find a better solution. After all, the good fortune mentioned by Fengchen was something that the Golden Crow Emperor had always been thinking about. If there is a knot in his heart and it is not handled well, it will definitely affect his future cultivation. Besides, although the Golden Crow Emperor does not know how to tell fortunes about Fengchen's fate, he has lived for so long and has seen and heard a lot, so he can see some things roughly. He can't see through Fengchen's future, which makes him feel that this kid is not simple. Since the road ahead is unknown, it will naturally not go wrong easily, which is quite similar to the hexagram of Tiantong Tongjun. The Golden Crow Emperor knows that Fengchen's future is full of variables. For practitioners, this is both a challenge and an opportunity. He hopes that Fengchen can understand that every decision may change his fate, so he must act carefully and not leave regrets.

The Golden Crow Emperor pondered for a while, then slowly spoke: "Speaking of curses, we have to talk about the Qilin lineage. A long, long time ago, when the world was just created, the three ancient origins each turned into a qi. These qi came from chaos, without birth or death. But because of the changes in the world, they gained insights, so they took on a form and brought life to the world. In this way, all things were born, but the three ancient origins exhausted their essence, leaving only their shells and falling asleep."

"But before they fell into eternal sleep, they wondered what the world would be like after they woke up. In addition, since all things had already been born, they also wanted to see how the world would develop. So, they each left behind a little bit of their bodies and a trace of their true spirits, which turned into three heads. This is the incarnation of the ancient three elements. There is the flying bird Phoenix in the sky, and the sacred beast Kirin on the ground. As for the third three element ancestral qi, it was a little greedy and encompassed everything between heaven and earth. It had the yin and yang and the five elements under its control, and the stars in the sky moved with it. This was the birth of the ancestral dragon." When the Golden Crow Emperor spoke of this, his eyes were full of memories, as if there were some past events that he was unwilling to look back on, which made him feel a little unwilling. His words revealed his nostalgia for the ancient times and his respect for those ancient creatures who had passed away.

After a while, the Golden Crow Emperor seemed to recall some warm memories. He looked at Fengchen and continued, "After the three ancient beings transformed, they each went their own way. At first, the world was vast and boundless. In addition to the immortals occupying the sky, there were also demons accompanying the earth, fire, water and wind. These ancient creatures each had their own home and lived in peace with each other. But as time went on, there would always be friction, which led to opposition. They refused to buy into each other's ideas and each said their own things, which eventually turned into a war. This was the great catastrophe of the heavens that followed."

“However, this statement is too old, and no one knows the situation at that time. We all know it by hearsay, and it is difficult to distinguish the truth from the false. But there is one thing, I have personally experienced the Longhan Catastrophe. I was too young at that time, and could only watch my people die without being able to do anything. Looking back now, even if I was in my prime, I probably could not have changed anything about that unforeseen catastrophe. After all, the Ancestral Dragon and Ancestral Phoenix appeared at the same time, and the sacred beast Qilin also participated. In a war like that, if it is not the ancestor of your Xuanmen, I am afraid no one can change anything. It’s a pity that the human race at that time was too weak, without the protection of Xuanmen, let alone the Five Ancient Emperors, even your Xuanmen’s Emperor Cangqiong did not show up during the Longhan Catastrophe.” Feng Chen understood what the Golden Crow Emperor meant, so he did not interrupt and waited for him to continue.

The Golden Crow Emperor told Feng Chen all this because he wanted him to thoroughly understand the key to the Qilin lineage's curse so that he would have an idea in his mind. So the Golden Crow Emperor continued, "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 it, and even most of the immortals, demons, and monsters were involved. As for the cause, no one knows it anymore. It is only said that it was to fight for a key thing. But no one knows what it is. Because the ancestral dragons and ancestral phoenixes fell in the war, their immortal bodies turned into original qi, returned to their original bodies, and could not appear again. And the last qi, that is, the sacred beast Qilin, at the most critical moment of the Dragon and Han catastrophe, that is, after the ancestral dragons and ancestral phoenixes fell into trouble, when all the participants fought to the death, the way of heaven could not bear the collapse of heaven and earth, and was about to send down heavenly punishment. In order to save as many creatures as possible from the ancient three-element evolution, it blocked most of the heavenly catastrophe with itself, and exchanged the life of all the participants at the cost of returning to the ancestral qi. Although the surviving holy spirits are no longer as powerful as before, there are still holy spirits between heaven and earth, and they are still powerful. Even if there are not many, they are not comparable to most creatures represented by the human race."

As soon as the Golden Crow Emperor finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh, his expression as complex as a palette. He paused for a moment, as if recalling those old events, and then continued: "After that, the punishment from heaven lasted for a long, long time, and countless holy spirits, immortals, demons, and monsters fell. Because our human race was weak, we were not targeted by the punishment from heaven, and with the sacrifice and protection of the sacred beast Qilin, we were able to survive. People regard the Qilin, which is covered with colorful clouds and whose shadow can illuminate the entire sky, as a symbol of good luck."

"Later, the Great Emperor Cangqiong came out of nowhere, and the human race began to prosper. This once weak race began to dominate the world. Naturally, those holy spirits were unhappy and began to target the human race. At first, the Taoism of the Great Emperor Cangqiong was not mature enough, and he could not fight against the strange beasts in the sky. In order to protect himself and his people, he took everyone to hide from place to place, and at the same time passed on his Taoism to his people. In this way, the Xuanmen Sect was born. It seemed that it was God's will. Some holy spirits began to help the human race, and the Qilin lineage was among them. Of course, the bloodlines of the dragon and phoenix clans were too rare, and the heavenly punishment was too terrible, but after the Five Emperors of Xuanmen became famous, the human race became strong and began to make friends with the human race. Especially after Baidi married Yunhuang, their descendants have continued to this day." When the Golden Crow Emperor said this, he looked Fengchen up and down, and then shook his head.

Feng Chen looked confused, thinking that what the Golden Crow Emperor said was related to him, and asked hurriedly: "Senior, please tell me what you want to say. I will do my best to help you."

The Golden Crow Emperor smiled slightly: "It's nothing, but talking about these things and looking at your current appearance reminds me of the past. At that time, all the holy spirits in the sky said that Yun Huang married Bai Di and fell into depravity. Now it seems that Yun Huang has gained something."

"Oh? What do you mean, senior?" Feng Chen became curious. After all, this was related to the two ancestors, Baidi and Yunhuang. He had their blood flowing in his body, and it might be related to Bai Yu's situation, so he asked eagerly.

The Golden Crow Emperor did not hide it: "At that time, my bloodline was fully developed. As the emperor of a clan, I naturally had to look for opportunities for my clan members. The battlefield ruins of the Longhan catastrophe had many opportunities there. Most people dare not go in, but people like me who are ancient descendants, as well as practitioners of your Xuanmen, have been exploring one after another. Once I was trapped, I heard people of unknown origin talking about the marriage of Baidi and Yunhuang. Most of them were derogatory remarks, saying that the ancient gods had fallen into depravity. Later, I got out of the trap. I wanted to use the opportunities I found on the battlefield to educate my clan members, hoping to revive the glory of my ancestors. After all, the Golden Crow clan was extremely powerful in the ancient times. When the Golden Crow appeared in the Phoenix clan, the world had to submit. Although I had the intention, I could not restore the glory of the past because of the limitation of my bloodline. Just when I was about to make great plans, an amazing and strange thing happened between heaven and earth."

"Countless holy spirits, all the ancient relics felt a certain call at the same time, as if there was a mysterious place that they had to go to. I was also attracted there, and arrived at an unknown place, and found that not only most of the ancient relics were there, but also masters like the Five Emperors of Xuanmen were present, and there were also many ghosts and demons. With such a grand occasion, it can be said that almost all the great powers in the world have gathered, only the Qilin lineage did not come, which made everyone present curious.
