As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1062
Chapter 1062 Ancient Devil Legend
“You Tian Soul Saint …”
Hearing these four words, Four Daoists’s expression changed. Obviously, they also knew a bit about the influential figures of the Four Seas and Eight Desolates a thousand years ago.
It had been a thousand years since the Netherworld Dao and the Netherworld Soul Saint above all of them had sent out any news. How could they suddenly appear in Xiao Chen’s mouth?
At this moment, Daoist Taiwu tried his best to calm himself down, repeatedly confirming, “Little friend Xiao, the Netherworld Soul Saint that you mentioned earlier is one of the Eight Desolate Daos, the Hegemon of the Netherworld Dao?”
“Exactly.”
Xiao Chen looked at the four and said calmly.
“This …”
The four of them were still incredulous. How could they be involved in the Eight Desolates Dao? Furthermore … how could this be possible?
How respectable was the Netherheaven Soul Saint? How could a little True Monarch Xuanxiao dare to make such a mistake? There must be something wrong …
“A thousand years ago, Senior Soul Saint lost his physical body for some reason and returned to Samsara. After that, he changed his name to Yi. No one knows …” Xiao Chen was not surprised by the disbelief of the four of them.
“I see …”
At this moment, the four of them understood just how terrifying the Netherworld Soul Saint was a thousand years ago.
With an unparalleled Immortal Soul and an ancient forbidden soul technique that no one could compare to, even a sage with a cultivation of three realms would be afraid of three points. Even a sage below three realms would not dare to make a mistake, so how could he, a little True Monarch Xuanxiao, dare to make a mistake?
And now … could it be that even a Serene Heaven Soul Saint as powerful as before would not be able to escape from the Laws of Samsara in this world? In that case, how could there be eternal immortality in this world?
Thinking of this, the four of them couldn’t help but be filled with emotions. At the same time, they also felt a bit sad. The formerly powerful Soul Saint of the Netherworld had all fallen to this level. Even if a cultivator like them cultivated for their entire lives, they would still be unable to escape death in the end …
However, Four Daoists, Yu Changsheng was not obsessed with it. He only sighed at the size of the heavens and the earth. It was boundless and indistinct, and the Heavenly Dao was indistinct. Moreover, in terms of the short lifespan that extraordinary people could peep at, there were even mayflies dying in the twilight. Compared to him, how could he be sad?
Seeing the sighs on the faces of the four of them, Xiao Chen said, “Thousands of years ago, it was hard to describe. Now, Senior Soul Saint only has his soul left. I hope that Four Daoists will keep his identity and this matter a secret.”
“Naturally …”
Daoist Taiwu immediately nodded his head. If he were to say anything about the Four Seas and the Eight Desolates, wouldn’t he ignite a fire and burn his body? Moreover, the current Netherheaven Soul Saint was also related to Xiao Chen, so it was impossible for them to reveal it to anyone else.
Xiao Chen asked again, “Why is True Monarch Xuanxiao dealing with Celestial Pogoda?”
“This …”
The four of them exchanged glances. Just as they were worried, they felt their hearts rise again. After a while, Lonely Lantern said, “Underneath Celestial Pogoda, there has always been an Earth Vein Spiritual Energy. True Monarch Xuanxiao only wants to take this Earth Vein Spiritual Energy for himself …”
“I see …”
Xiao Chen focused his attention and recalled twenty years ago in the Azure Dragon Mountains, not long after he captured Power of Azure Dragon, people from Xuanxiao Palace appeared and asked him to hand over Power of Azure Dragon.
From this, it seems that True Monarch Xuanxiao has not only started to plot in recent years, but has already done so. It’s just that he has endured it until now …
Daoist Gudeng sighed softly. “Right now, True Monarch Xuanxiao is secretly controlling quite a few cultivation forces. In the past few years, there were still three other True Monarchs who checked him, but in recent years, his strength has suddenly increased by countless times. The other three True Monarchs are no longer his opponents, and even True Monarch Bai Hong died at his hands. Few people know about True Monarch Bai Hong’s death so far …”
Hearing this, Daoist Withered Wood and Daoist Qingyang both sighed. Daoist Taiwu’s brows were tightly knitted as he said, “I’m afraid that this person’s next step is Celestial Pogoda. With his current strength, we … are no match for him.”
At this point, Chief Daoist Taiwu let out a long sigh. At this moment, there was a deep sense of helplessness in his eyes. However, this helplessness wasn’t because Celestial Pogoda wasn’t strong enough. Instead, it was as if Celestial Pogoda had the strength to resist Xuanxiao Palace. However, that had become a thing of the past.
At this moment, Xiao Chen caught a glimpse of the strange expression in his eyes and said, “I have always had a mystery in my heart. May I know if Four Daoists can solve I am’s doubts?”
“Little friend Xiao … do you have any doubts?” The four of them looked at him and saw that he didn’t ask directly, which was unusual.
Xiao Chen said, “Twenty years ago, when I was in Celestial Pogoda, one night, Celestial Pogoda suddenly started to move. However, at that time, several elders said that it was just a shift of the formation …”
“This …”
Upon hearing what he said, Changes flashed across the faces of the four of them. Xiao Chen continued, “During the day, on top of the clouds, I heard from the Xuan Yue Sect that there is an ancient devil sealed somewhere in Celestial Pogoda. Once the ancient devil breaks through the seal, it will destroy the heavens and the earth. Therefore, Celestial Pogoda has been secretly suppressing this ancient devil for all these years. Those disciples went to this place back then and have yet to return.”
Hearing him say this, Four Daoists’s expression had already changed. Finally, the four of them let out a long sigh. Even today, even if they could continue to hide this matter from the other disciples of Celestial Pogoda, how could they hide it from him?
Chief Daoist Gudeng let out a long sigh and said, “This is Celestial Pogoda’s biggest secret. We did not intentionally conceal it from Little friend Xiao, but the Xuan Yue Sect knows less than one or two of it.”
Xiao Chen looked at him and said, “I would like to hear more about it.”
“Sigh …”
Daoist Gudeng let out a long sigh. “it was more than three thousand year ago, “It was created by the three Ancestors, but Celestial Pogoda has existed for a long time. No one knows when it was built. The three Ancestors gave the order that an ancient devil was suppressed beneath Celestial Pogoda. This devil will definitely turn the world into a devil sea … But what exactly is this devil? The three Ancestors did not say.”
“Nameless Devil …”
Xiao Chen’s eyes narrowed. He was not surprised by this. Instead, for some reason, he suddenly thought of the Hidden Cloud Sea behind Lustless Heaven.
The mysterious and unfathomable depths of the Hidden Cloud Sea were actually like a demonic land, and what exactly was inside that demonic land was truly unimaginable.
Not only was it the Hidden Cloud Sea behind Lustless Heaven, but there were also His Highness the Restrained Demons of the Endless Mountain Range in the Land of Divine Transformation. That time, together with Dream Immortal Sect of Meng Xian’er, when he was about to succeed in divine transformation, a wisp of his demonic sense suddenly shot towards him. On the line of life and death, it was the Samsara Jade that blocked that demonic sense for him.
At that time, it was the time of his Soul Formation. Perhaps Meng Xian’er didn’t notice it at that time and only felt a terrifying power underground. However, he could clearly feel it because that demonic sense was coming towards him. In fact, at that moment, he vaguely heard a voice saying, “Who … am I?”
That voice was filled with confusion. Furthermore, it was not the language of the ancient lands of Xianyuan today, but rather an ancient language. However, for some reason, he was actually able to understand it. It was just like back in Tomb of Gods and Demons, White Bone City, where he was able to vaguely sense the ancient god consciousness in the Myriad Bones Formation and communicate with it in a simple manner.
Back then, on the Tomb of Gods and Demons side of the Eastern Continent, they had entered the Forbidden Area of Tomb of Gods and Demons, but that time, they did not go to the depths of the Forbidden Area, and they did not know what exactly was in the depths of the Forbidden Area. However, at that time, Xiao Chen had heard that the people who had entered the depths of the Forbidden Area of Tomb of Gods and Demons in the past several hundred years had not been able to come out …
Xiao Chen didn’t know how to explain these things. He felt that these ancient Fiendgods were always around him, especially those Immortal Fiendgods and Buddhas who had passed away ten thousand years ago. Why did those Fiendgods’ shadows always appear beside him?
