A living sacrifice.
The moment he heard these three words, Chen Xi understood everything.
Even if the Grand Pure Divine Ancestor's cultivation was extremely high, it was impossible for him to forcefully open and stabilize the passage between the two worlds by himself.
After all, there were too many people who needed him to save.
Not a thousand, not ten thousand, but millions and tens of millions.
The Grand Pure Divine Ancestor did indeed save the world.
But at the same time …
This contribution was also stained with the blood of too many innocent people.
Not everyone could travel through the void and cross realms as they wished.
Therefore, the Grand Pure Divine Ancestor could only rely on external forces to allow everyone to go to the great world unharmed.
If the Sundial Brilliance Temple was the coordinate between the two worlds, then the soul of Xuan Nu —
Was the track to the great world.
When the end of the world was approaching, the train led by the Grand Pure Divine Ancestor carried the hopes of the ancient cultivators and rumbled toward the great world full of the unknown.
The only place that was not harmonious was probably the railroad track.
There were millions of people who needed to be saved.
The number of Xuan Nu who needed to be sacrificed was also not a small number.
One after another, weak and fragile souls. In terms of individual strength, they were not even worth mentioning.
They were too weak.
A single strand of silk could not make a thread, and a single tree could not make a forest.
Under the guidance of the Grand Pure Divine Ancestor, these weak souls of Xuan Nu were connected to each other one by one. Like sections of track, they paved all the way from Earth to the great world, forcibly opening up a path of survival for the cultivators in the Age of Doom.
How was this a path of survival?
It was a Nether River full of wronged souls.
Because …
Only through the guidance of Xuan Nu's soul could the Grand Pure Divine Ancestor use this to stabilize the passage between the two worlds, so that those who were not at the Soul Formation stage could safely pass through the void cracks.
Although he had not witnessed this history with his own eyes, Chen Xi had a rough understanding of that ancient era. He was even willing to believe …
This was not a dark past, but a grand epic.
In order to continue the legacy of the ancient cultivators, even the weak Xuan Nu was willing to sacrifice her life to protect the legacy of the ancient cultivators.
Traveling in the wind and rain, passing on the torch.
Despite all the hardships and hardships, the jade was finally formed.
In truth, the sacred ancestor wasn't wrong.
With the Divine Ancestor's cultivation, there was no need for him to care about the lives and deaths of all living beings. Wouldn't it be great for him to live a carefree life in the great world by himself?
But he didn't.
Instead, he chose to return to Earth and seek a chance of survival for all living beings with his own strength.
It was a pity.
History had already proven that …
The founder of every dynasty was great, but after that, each generation would be worse than the last.
The world only remembered the peerless leader, but forgot about the Siming Xuan Nu who had sacrificed everything to save them.
This was also the reason why Bai Hong knew nothing about Siming Xuan Nu.
No matter what the reason was …
The survivors of the Great World had long forgotten the greatness of Siming Xuan Nu.
…
"Back then, the Divine Ancestor gathered the most precious treasures in the world and refined a total of 13 Soul-amassing Cauldrons. There is one in each of the five places of inheritance, and the other eight are scattered in the Divine Land. Now, no one knows where they are …"
"These 13 Soul-amassing Cauldrons and the Heaven-Bearing Efficate Floating Dawn Mirror formed the set of supreme treasures that could save all living beings …"
"Of course, the Soul-amassing Cauldron was mainly used to collect Xuan Nu's earthly soul. The Heaven-Bearing Efficate Floating Dawn Mirror was the true core …"
"After Xuan Nu offered her earthly soul to the Soul-amassing Cauldron, the Divine Ancestor held the mirror in his hand and led everyone to the Blissful Great World in the Void …"
The old man recounted the events of the past.
After hearing this, Chen Xi frowned and seemed to be thinking about something.
Seeing that he didn't intend to speak, the old man paused for a moment before continuing. "I'm sure you know that with your wife's current cultivation, she definitely wouldn't have fallen sick if her soul was fine …"
"So I'm guessing …"
"This might have something to do with the Heaven-Bearing Efficate Floating Dawn Mirror."
"After all, this treasure was left behind by the Divine Ancestor. No one knows what secrets are hidden in it …"
"If you want to completely solve this problem, I'm afraid you have to find the Heaven-Bearing Efficate Floating Dawn Mirror first …"
After the old man finished speaking, the room fell silent again.
After a long time.
Chen Xi seemed to be talking to himself, and couldn't help but mutter, "Sky Bearing Imitation Fu Li Mirror, right?"
Seeing that his reaction was a little strange, the old man comforted him. "For thousands of years, I've seen many similar situations …"
"Many Xuan Nu wanted to cultivate when they grew up, but because they lacked one of their three earthly souls, they could only die with regret …"
"But once they found their earthly soul, they could walk, sit, and lie down. Their spiritual sense was no different from that of ordinary people …"
"Your wife only had a little dizziness and dark vision. It shouldn't be a big deal, so you don't have to worry too much."
Not a big deal?
Chen Xi wasn't as optimistic about this as the old man.
But now wasn't the time to be worrying unnecessarily, so he could only put this problem aside for the time being. He then stood up and said, "Alright, since I've said what I needed to say, let's leave it at that for today …"
"I'll remember this favor. In the future, if the Jiang family has anything to ask of me, I won't hesitate to help!"
"Haha, then I'll thank Mr Chen first."
The conversation finally came to an end.
Jiang Yuankui had been waiting at the bridge for a long time. When he saw Chen Xi walk out of the room, he immediately went to the pavilion in the middle of the lake. After sneaking a peek at the situation in the room, he finally felt relieved.
It seemed like he was really afraid that Chen Xi would hurt the Elder Ancestor.
"Alright, you don't have to follow me. Go inside and wait."
When Chen Xi saw that Jiang Yuankui wanted to send him off, he waved his hand and rejected him. Then, he walked back the way he came from.
When he returned to the shore, the little fellow was still playing with the red-crowned cranes in the pond.
These red-crowned cranes were like dolphins. They would rub against her from time to time, which really made the little fellow very happy.
If it weren't for Qin Ruoying's repeated dissuasion, the little fellow even wanted to bring a few of them back …
The little fellow was very happy, but Chen Xi's mood didn't seem to be very good.
The little fellow had long been trained to observe people's expressions. When she saw that Chen Xi was unhappy, she didn't dawdle anymore. After waving goodbye to the red-crowned cranes, she lay in Chen Xi's arms and obediently got on the boat.
Under the gaze of the Jiang family, the yacht slowly sailed away from the dock.
At this time, Qin Ruoying gently held Chen Xi's hand and asked softly, "Xi, what's wrong?"
"Nothing."
Chen Xi pinched the little fellow's butt and signaled her to sit still. After that, he held Qin Ruoying's hand and went to the bow of the boat.
It was late at night.
A bright moon hung high above the sea, constantly emitting a cold light.
Looking at his lover beside him, Chen Xi couldn't help but ask faintly, "Yingying, what kind of person do you think I am?"
"Why would you ask that?"
"I'm actually a very selfish person."
"I don't think so."
Qin Ruoying felt that something was wrong with Chen Xi. She imitated the little fellow and put her head on his other shoulder, hoping to make him feel at ease.
However, Chen Xi looked as if he was sick. He stared blankly at the bright moon and replied in a daze, "Really, I'm very selfish …"
"For you, I can give up the whole world …"
"All living beings are just ants in my eyes …"
"If one day you're no longer here …"
"I think …"
"I might be able to destroy this world and make all the unpleasant things disappear …"
Chen Xi was still expressing his feelings when Qin Ruoying suddenly pinched him and said with an unhappy face, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
The little fellow didn't understand what they were talking about, but she could clearly feel that her mother was angry, so she imitated Qin Ruoying, raised her head and said in a coquettish voice, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Well, the eldest and the second in the family were furious. Chen Xi had to immediately raise his hands to surrender and apologize.
"Okay, okay, okay, I'm talking nonsense. Yingying, don't be angry …"
"And you, why are you making a fuss …"
"I'm not making a fuss!"
Hearing this, the little fellow immediately pouted and retorted with dissatisfaction, "It's PaPa's disobedience that made MaMa angry! I'm so obedient, MaMa won't be angry with me! "
"Okay, okay, okay, you're the most obedient … Come, let daddy kiss you!"
"No! I'm angry! "
After saying that, the little fellow immediately turned her head to the side and refused to let Chen Xi kiss her no matter what.
One wanted to kiss, the other wanted to block.
Looking at the noisy father and daughter, Qin Ruoying couldn't help but smile, and then she leaned her head on Chen Xi's shoulder again.
In fact, she knew what Chen Xi was worried about.
But for her …
Instead of deliberately preparing for a rainy day, it was better to live in the moment calmly.
People often have thousands of thoughts about the future, but they forget to calm down and appreciate the present moment.
The future days …
