“Oh?”

Xiao Chen focused his attention. Quasi-Sage, how powerful was that? He twisted his fingers, and the Harmony Stage and True Cave Stage were about to be wiped out. Such a powerful person, but why did Ku Lingzi say that all ten of them had failed to enter the Sage Stage? And it ended miserably. What exactly happened?

Ku Lingzi sighed lightly and stroked his beard, “That was a thousand years ago. In the end, none of the ten quasi-saints from the Spirit Ruins Realm entered the Saint realm. At that time, no one knew the reason. And now, I don’t know if there are any new Ten Saints in the Spirit Ruins Realm.”

Xiao Chen listened to him slowly and finally asked, “Then Senior must know about the six great clans?”

“Mm …”

Ku Lingzi slightly stroked his beard and nodded, “The Xiao Clan of the Central Plains, the Chen Clan of the East China Sea, the Su Clan of Runan, the Ji Bei Mo Clan, the Northern Palace of Xi Kun, and the Secluded Murong … This is a legend that has been circulating for a long time, and no one knows how many years it has been. As for why all six clans ended up in the Spirit Ruins Realm, only they most likely know about it.”

“As expected …”

Xiao Chen focused. According to legends, the six ancient races had long since disappeared. However, the six ancient races had never disappeared. They had only gone to the Spirit Ruins Realm. Furthermore, they were no longer able to easily enter the outside world. It seemed that they had been subjected to some sort of restriction …

“Do you suspect that your background is related to the six great families?” Ku Lingzi turned around and looked at him.

Xiao Chen did not answer him. Instead, he focused on thinking carefully. He knew so many things. Who exactly was he? Ku Lingzi must not be his real name, right? And his true identity is definitely not the Soul Saint that Fairy Su Wen addressed him as …

“Always talking about my matters. I don’t have much strength. How about this time, tell me about Senior … Senior, who exactly is he?”

At this moment, Xiao Chen stared fixedly at Ku Lingzi, and Ku Lingzi also stared fixedly at him. At this moment, the gazes of the two of them were as sharp as the sharpness on the tip of a sword.

After a while, Ku Lingzi withdrew his gaze and slowly turned around to look at the pitch-black night. At this moment, he seemed to recall the past, and a trace of loneliness flashed across his face.

Even though this trace of loneliness was not obvious, Xiao Chen had also caught it. Now, he was even more certain that this person in front of him had a high cultivation base in the past …

“Could it be that Senior was actually one of the Ten Saints back then?”

“No.”

Ku Lingzi shook his head, “I’m not from the Spirit Ruins Realm. Back then … I had a Master. He had vast divine abilities and boundless magic power. He was one of the Eight Desolates Hegemons …”

“Hegemon of the Eight Desolates …”

Xiao Chen’s expression froze. He recalled the True Monarch of the Four Seas and Hegemon of the Eight Desolates that he had mentioned to him before. At that time, he thought that Hegemon of the Eight Desolates was just a legend. He didn’t expect that it would be like this. One of them was his master …

Ku Lingzi took a deep breath and slowly said, “My master, he is the Netherworld Soul Master, the Hegemon of the Netherworld Dao. But then, he went to the mortal world, killed my wife and children, and slaughtered my entire family. He said that he would cut off the mortal world for me and help me overcome the tribulation of the mortal world before successfully entering the Sage realm. Actually, he did it for the sake of an ancient forbidden technique.”

“What …”

Even Xiao Chen couldn’t help but be stunned. He didn’t expect Ku Lingzi to have such a past. He asked, “What happened afterwards? Did you go find him for revenge?”

“Not bad …”

Ku Lingzi nodded. At this moment, his gaze was exactly the same as it was a thousand years ago. “At that time, I was only one step away from becoming a Saint. I knew that if I hadn’t become a Saint, I would definitely not be his match. However, once his Nether Divine Art was completed, even if I had already become a Saint, I would definitely not be his match.”

“Quasi-Sage …”

This time, Xiao Chen didn’t expect that Ku Lingzi would actually be a Quasi-Sage, even though he had thought that Ku Lingzi was only at the Harmony Stage or the True Cave Stage!

Quasi-Sage, what is the concept? Three years ago, Beigong Changfeng was only an avatar, and even if he was his true self, if Ku Lingzi returned to his peak, he would be able to instantly teach him to destroy both his body and spirit with a single stroke of his finger!

Suddenly, Xiao Chen remembered that the current Ku Lingzi was already in his second life. In his previous life, his final cultivation had stopped at the Quasi-Sage realm. It was probably because he went to seek revenge on the Nether Soul Master that he was unable to enter the Sage realm in the end …

“Senior knew that he was no match for that person, but he still went to seek revenge on him. At that time, I reckon, he had a heart of burning jade and stone.”

“Not bad …”

Ku Lingzi nodded and looked at him, “Do you still remember the three soul arts I taught you back then?”

“Of course I remember.”

“Actually, the real name of these three soul techniques is Samsara Forbidden. It’s an ancient forbidden technique that Nether Soul Master has always wanted to obtain …”

“Forbidden Samsara …”

Xiao Chen suddenly felt that these three words were very familiar. After thinking for a moment, he immediately remembered that he had gone to Tomb of Gods and Demons and went to the forbidden area with Daoist Gui and the others. He was in danger in a magical habitat and finally escaped into a tomb. There were words on the stone wall of the tomb that mentioned the word “Forbidden Samsara”.

“The High God is worried that the twelve-fingered Heart Demon will break through the formation seal, “and he kept it for seven years, Until the formation was about to stabilize, “But one full moon night, when the Qi of Profound Yin gathered, High God Three Corpse Demon actually broke the seal with his own hands. The twelve-fingered Heart Demon broke the seal from underground and heavily injured High God with one finger. In the end, High God used heaven defying methods at the expense of both body and spirit to execute the Ancient Forbidden Technique, Samsara Forbidden, sealing the twelve-fingered Heart Demon into the Ruins Realm.”

Ku Lingzi said, “This forbidden technique is extremely powerful. It can ignore the laws of the six reincarnations of the Three Realms. Using one’s own primordial spirit to imprison the opponent’s soul so that it can never enter reincarnation. Even one’s soul can be used at any time. However, if the opponent’s soul is too strong to be imprisoned, then one’s soul can be imprisoned in the Primordial Chaos Ruins at the price of never entering reincarnation.”

“I see …”

Xiao Chen did not expect that the three soul techniques he had passed on to him were actually this ancient taboo technique. No wonder the soul techniques were so powerful. He repeatedly warned him that he must not use them easily until he had no other choice. So that’s how it was …

Suddenly, he remembered something. When he told Wei Yang about this matter, Wei Yang’s expression seemed to be a little strange. He even suspected Ku Lingzi’s purpose. Could it be that Wei Yang already knew about it? Why did she know about this ancient forbidden technique …

Ku Lingzi continued, “This forbidden technique is much more than this. There are records in the ancient books that this forbidden technique can even forbid the heavens, imprisoning the gods and buddhas of the heavens in the Ruins of the Realm, forever unable to escape … Of course, this is only a rumor. After all, forbidding the heavens … This is too unimaginable.”
