BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1037 - Another Huge Enemy
Chapter 1037: Another Huge Enemy
The Cloud World was one of its kind in this region.
There were no other worlds that had as vast a Spiritual Wave and produced as many mines as the Cloud World.
Just End Realm Experts alone, counting those who disappeared, since ancient times till now there were 17.
It really was weird. In that era 10,000 years ago, actually most of the alien races were wiped out. Just Xi Zi, Xiuguan, and the eight End Realm Saint Venerables from the Taoist Faction and Confucian Faction were enough to force 100 races back.
Xi Zi alone was able to make all the alien races fear him.
To seal the Spiritual Wave at that time was really illogical and didn’t make any sense.
When the few factions of the Cloud World fought one another such that the few End Realm Saint Venerables disappeared, it gave those alien races a chance to enter...
This resulted in chaos amongst the Qin and Han’s alien races, and the rise of Ranwu King, who handled the entire situation all by himself.
“Senior Brother Xi Zi had said to me before that although that Heaven Opening Treasure was living within the Cloud World, they were aiding one another. However, 27,000 years ago someone tampered with this God Artifact. Someone wanted this artifact to appear earlier and thus brought out the source of the Cloud World. Half of it seeped outside which is why the Cloud World Cloud Desolate Era had such abundant Spiritual Energy. Senior Brother felt it when he was half a step to True Realm. As such, he suppressed the various Saint Venerables to agree to seal it. This was the start of the grievances between us and the various factions.”
Dragon Shadow’s expression was really solemn, surprise appeared in his eyes. This time when he returned to the Cloud World he didn’t expect that he would hear such secrets.
He also felt enlightened, after all, he came from 10,000 years ago and had heard some things about what happened then.
“Senior Brother Xi Zi then studied artifact refining and formations, his cultivation also greatly increased. He sensed that even if he sealed the Cloud World it was useless. That Heaven Opening God Artifact could swallow the flesh and blood of cultivators to nourish it, which was why there was the chaos in the Nether World. The entire Cloud World pretty much became its blood sacrifice formation. It was said that under special conditions even End Realm and Saint Realm experts weren’t able to avoid it too.”
Zong Shou thought back to Nether Witch Gong Xinran.
The will of the Nether World to interfere in the Cloud World, was it also due to that?
What was the Nether World chaos?
Xiuguan’s final sentence was even more shocking.
“... If this continues, the Cloud World will wither sooner or later and even collapse. Thus, Senior Brother wanted to take out that Heaven Opening God Artifact. In the end, there was that unprecedented battle and 20 End Realms and God Venerables joined in. Who knew how many Saint Realm and below there were. The three factions pretty much went all in. I was blocked outside of the Cloud World by Taishi and a few other Saint Venerables. I was able to injure him and return back, but at that time, Senior Brother had already died.”
No one in the room spoke because everyone was shocked by what they heard today.
Was the Cloud World really a large blood sacrifice formation?
Only Wei Xu was really calm like he knew about it long ago.
Aoyi’s brow furrowed, after sighing, she asked, “I heard that Taoist Faction Cibei Taoist Lord is really merciful. Confucian Faction Shun Zi was someone with good manners. If those words are true, they could have been persuaded.”
It wasn’t that she doubted what Xiuguan said but that she didn’t understand.
When Xi Zi died in that battle, Kong Zi and Meng Zi had both disappeared in the battle against the alien race and were nowhere to be seen.
Shun Zi was able to pass the Confucian traditions dow after the Qin Emperor period with much difficulty.
At that time, Shun Zi was conflicting with Dong Zi due to Great Han focusing solely on Confucianism but still decided to participate in killing Xi Zi.
Shun Zi felt that everyone was evil, people were like water able to carry the boat and also sink it. He promoted rites and traditions, even a portion of Legalism started with him.
Although his teachings weren’t similar to Common People’s Path, when he was alive he didn’t hate them that much.
There had to be a reason why this person joined in.
“The problem was that even if Senior Brother explained, would anyone believe him?”
Aoyi kept silent, if it was her, she wouldn’t believe either.
Even if Xi Zi didn’t use that item to enter the End Realm, if he had the artifact, then he would not be able to suppress the Cloud World
Even if people could see the pros and cons within, they might not agree with Xi Zi.
A Heaven Opening Treasure also meant hope to enter the True Realm.
“Based on what I know, after the matter, Cibei Taoist Lord should have sensed something. The Taoist Faction broke apart due to this, he had different opinions to Qingxuan and Taihuang. Shun Zi suffered injuries and Senior Brother Xi Zi had given him advice before, so he couldn’t kill him. However after that battle, in just 100 years Shun Zi fell. Someone used a top God Weapon to smash his soul and would need at least 100,000 years to form back. Even if he revived, he would forget his memory of the last life. Unless his cultivation recovered, he would be the same as a newborn. A few thousand years later, the three factions were all trying their best to find a way out. Even the Sword Sect was the same. They didn’t reject when the Buddhist Faction entered the Cloud World...”
The people in the room were all really smart people and while they were astonished, they noticed the hidden meaning in Xiuguan’s words.
“What Senior Brother is saying is that someone was behind the tampering of the Heaven Opening God Artifact, Senior Brother being sealed, and even Shun Zi’s fall?”
“It isn’t Qingxuan?”
“Qingxuan was able to gain his Dao 14,000 years earlier during the Cloud Desolate Era. It couldn’t be him who set up those restrictions on the artifact. Moreover, with his ability, he was on the same level as Shun Zi, maybe even a little weaker.”
Dragon Shadow kept silent, his thoughts were filled with disdain, as he thought about someone but still wasn’t sure.
A moment later, he looked at Zong Shou with a profound expression.
Zong Shou didn’t notice anything. He was thinking about the future when the Ten Shrines and Nineteen Spiritual Houses went dark and each year they took in really few disciples.
At that time, there were rumors that the foundations of the factions had been moved to the outer region.
Even when the God-Emperor rose up and ruled millions of worlds, he didn’t use the Cloud World as its capital.
Was it also due to this?
“Speaking of which, this Spiritual Wave is actually a calamity for our Cloud World. We need to seal it once again? Or prevent that Heaven Opening Artifact from being taken out?”
Xiuguan shook his head, “I also don’t know what is the best solution, let’s just take it step by step.”
Seeing everyone not understanding, he explained, “Senior Brother Xi Zi guessed before that he shouldn’t be the only one half a step to True Realm. I used the Xuanhuang Great Strength Technique to prove the Eternal Path and felt it. However, because of my worries, I didn’t dare to unlock the restrictions of Senior Brother Xi Zi.”
Zong Shou’s heart shook and then he looked out at that golden light in the sky which shone thousands of miles.
Moments later, he burst out laughing.
Enemy of the Confucians?
