"Back then, I went deep into the ancient star with the other seven pavilion masters. In the end, I was the only one who came back alive. Do you know why?" Mu Canghai recalled bitterly.
Su Yu pondered. It was rumored that the eight pavilion masters were trapped in the formation of the ancient star. Mu Canghai sacrificed the other seven to escape.
"Cabinet Master, do you mean that there is more to it than meets the eye?" Su Yu asked.
Mu Canghai's eyes were filled with tears. He choked. "Actually, we did not encounter a killing formation like the rumors say!"
What? Su Yu was surprised. "Then why did the eight Star Pavilion Masters end up in such a miserable state?"
In that era, those who could become pavilion masters were all Glazed Crystal Overlords.
With the eight of them working together, even a half-step Divine Warrior of Heaven and Earth would have to retreat.
Why did seven deaths and one injury cause a world-shaking Heavenly Stem Star Tribulation?
"Because …" Mu Canghai recalled. Even after thirty thousand years, he still had lingering fears. His voice trembled. "What we encountered was even more terrifying!"
"I saw rows of ancient stone coffins in the ancient star! They densely covered the entire ancient star, and their number was incalculable! "Mu Canghai said." In each ancient stone coffin, there was an ancient corpse! They came back to life, absorbing the corpse energy in the stone coffins to cultivate! "
Su Yu's heart jumped. Ancient corpses that came back to life? Absorbing corpse energy to cultivate?
Wasn't that what he saw in the Incredible Ice Space?
"At the end of the row of stone coffins, I saw a huge altar, and on the altar, there were ten abnormally huge ancient bronze coffins!" Mu Canghai's expression was full of fear. "In the ancient bronze coffins, there were ten Divine Warrior level corpse kings!"
Ten? Su Yu's pupils shrank.
Not to mention the other stone coffins, the ten corpse kings in the ancient bronze coffins were enough to sweep away the glorious Ancient God Realm!
"Our arrival awakened one of the corpse kings, and it began to hunt us down." Mu Canghai cried. "The eight of us were no match for the corpse king. We didn't even have the chance to escape!"
In front of the Divine Warriors of Heaven and Earth, the Glazed Crystal Overlord was just a small creature.
So, how did Mu Canghai escape? Had they really sacrificed seven of their companions to escape with their last breaths?
"The eight of us were all suppressed by the Corpse King. He sealed us in eight stone coffins and wanted to turn us into the Corpse Clan." Mu Canghai said in a trembling voice, "At the last moment, it was the Grand Pavilion Master who used the forbidden technique, Dream of the Horizon, to teleport me out of the ancient star through his dream!"
"However, in front of the Divine Emperor of Heaven and Earth, the Divine Skill of the Overlord is just a joke. The Zombie King killed the Grand Cabinet Master who was casting the skill with one palm and interrupted the forbidden skill. I teleported halfway and fell back to the ancient star!" Mu Canghai said, "But the other six pavilion masters also attacked at this time. They detonated their Inner Mansion Gates one after another to continue the Grand Pavilion Master's forbidden technique. That was how I was lucky enough to escape."
"However, all of them died tragically. Not a single one of them survived."
Speaking of this, Mu Canghai's expression was sorrowful and full of guilt.
Was this the truth?
It was they who took the initiative to sacrifice themselves, not Mu Canghai who was afraid of death and killed them.
Looking at the old body that was constantly trembling, Su Yu finally understood why everyone despised her, why the descendants of the seven pavilion masters regarded her as an enemy, insulting and plotting against her, yet she remained indifferent.
She neither refuted nor fought back, letting them do whatever they wanted.
It turned out to be guilt!
The seven pavilion masters used their lives in exchange for her survival. She was carrying heavy shackles on her back. Even when she was maliciously harmed by the descendants of the seven pavilion masters, she was unwilling to attack them.
Staring at him deeply, Su Yu sighed silently.
He finally understood why the Star Pavilion still took in the "cowardly" Mu Canghai.
It turned out that there was an unknown reason for everything.
"Not long after, that Corpse King awakened the other two Corpse Kings. The three great Corpse Kings appeared in the Sea of Constellations and set off a boundless calamity!" Mu Canghai revealed the unknown truth — — the ancient corpses came from that distant ancient star!
"It was because I returned alive and reported the news to the Star Pavilion that the Chief Pavilion Master, who was in deep seclusion, could come out in time and turn the tide, forcing the Three Great Corpse Kings to live in seclusion and even forcing the Emperor Corpse to seal itself."
Su Yu curiously asked, "Then your cultivation level is …"
A bitter smile crossed Mu Canghai's mouth. "In the battle with the Corpse Clan, I found the Corpse King who killed the seven pavilion masters. I wanted to avenge them, so I did not hesitate to damage my own cultivation level and cast a forbidden technique. Unfortunately, it was like a moth flying into a flame. The Corpse King destroyed my forbidden technique with a thought. If not for the Chief Pavilion Master's intervention, I would have long been a pile of white bones."
So that was it.
However, Mu Canghai had yet to explain the origin of the black-gray stone.
As if he knew what Su Yu was thinking, Mu Canghai continued, "However, my forbidden technique was not a complete failure. At least I managed to cut off a finger from the Corpse King."
Su Yu's heart skipped a beat. "You can't be saying that the black-gray stone is the Corpse King's finger?"
Mu Canghai said, "Haha, at first, I was the same as you. I did not believe it at all, and I did not believe that there was anything in this world that could enhance one's comprehension of cultivation techniques. But the truth is right in front of us!"
Su Yu's heart trembled.
The Corpse King's body was actually condensed from such a strange stone!
"In the past thirty thousand years, I have studied it carefully and have barely found an explanation." Mu Canghai's eyes shone with a deep light. "Life and death are maintained by the original Rules of Heaven and Earth. No living creature can predict this rule! But how can the dead ancient corpses be resurrected? The answer lies in their bodies! "
"In a body made of this special material, it is possible to avoid the Rules of Life and Death and come back to life."
Her explanation sounded incomprehensible to the average person.
But Su Yu, who had come into contact with the mother of all Rules, the Great Path of Absolute Beginning, was exceptionally convinced.
The dead could not be resurrected. This was the original rule of the Absolute Beginning Realm, the Great Path of Absolute Beginning.
Only two kinds of people could break the shackles of the Great Path of Absolute Beginning.
One was like Su Yu, who had mastered the profound meaning of life of the Eight Great Heavenly Paths. The other was to avoid the detection of the Great Path of Absolute Beginning.
Even for the former, if Su Yu wanted to resurrect a person, there was a prerequisite, and that was that the person still had a breath left in the world. Otherwise, Su Yu could not resurrect a person out of thin air.
One could imagine that it was not easy for the latter to avoid the detection of the Great Path of Absolute Beginning.
The body made of this nature-defying material could protect the dead from the detection of the Great Path of Absolute Beginning, and it had a certain amount of power.
The question was, where did this material come from? Many ancient books had never recorded it!
It couldn't have been born out of thin air, could it?
"Then, what about the ordinary corpse race?" Su Yu asked.
Mu Canghai shook his head. "No! The true Corpse Clan is born with the cultivation of the Divine Realm of Heaven and Earth, which is the Corpse King level. The Ancient Corpses under their control are all creatures that they have captured and sealed. Just like the Corpse King that year, he wanted to refine the eight of us into his puppets. Their bodies are merely flesh and blood. "
Hearing this, Su Yu could not help but gasp.
They were born with the level of the Corpse King? Wasn't the corpse race too terrifying?
Suddenly, Su Yu's heart skipped a beat.
Mu Canghai quickly told him about the origin of the black-gray stone and the secret of the ancient star. What was his purpose?
After thinking for a while, Su Yu said, "Cabinet Master, do you hope that I can enter the ancient star?"
If he wanted to get the black-gray stone, he could only enter the ancient star.
Mu Canghai praised, "It's easy to talk to you. You can understand without any guidance."
She looked at the sky faintly, her chest full of bitterness. "For 30,000 years, I have been looking for a suitable candidate, hoping that someone can go deep into the ancient star for me and bring back the bodies of the seven of them."
"This is the greatest wish of my life!"
Su Yu was silent.
The corpses of the seven Glazed Crystal Overlords fell into the ancient star, where the corpse energy soared to the sky. Perhaps they would have already been transformed into ancient corpses?
Bringing them back was not as simple as bringing them back.
Even if there were no other obstacles, just subduing the seven Glazed Crystal Overlord ancient corpses would require supreme divine power.
"Cabinet Master, don't you think too highly of me?" Su Yu smiled bitterly. "The ancient star is a place of great danger. If I go there, I will never return."
Mu Canghai said, "You saved my life at the Ancient Dream Altar, and the debt of gratitude has long been settled. How can I ask you to take the risk for me?"
Su Yu was slightly stunned. "Then the Cabinet Master wants me to enter the ancient star because …"
The corners of Mu Canghai's mouth curled up coldly. He said, "I am giving you a great opportunity!"
Opportunity? What kind of opportunity could there be in a place of great danger and evil like the ancient star?
"The Star Pavilion began planning as early as 30,000 years ago, in order to capture all the ancient corpses in the ancient star that have not yet awakened!" Mu Canghai said, "Now that 30,000 years have passed, the Chief Cabinet Master's injuries have recovered, and the divine technique has been successfully completed. You already have the capital to compete with the emperor corpse. It is time to eradicate the threat of the ancient corpses."
Su Yu's heart was boiling. "Cabinet Master, do you mean that the Star Pavilion will invade the ancient star?"
Mu Canghai clenched his fists, his eyes burning with flames. "Not only the Star Pavilion, but the South Sea, the East Sea, and the North Sea will all be invited to participate in the extermination of the ancient star! At that time, all the strong men above the overlord level will be mobilized to participate in the battle of life and death! "
"If you can set off with the army and seize the opportunity to seize the remains of some corpse kings, it will be an unimaginable great opportunity for your various divine techniques. It will be hundreds of times more powerful than the opportunity at the Ancient Dream Altar!" Mu Canghai's eyes were burning.
In today's world, apart from the Star Pavilion's Three Great Pavilion Masters, the Chief Cabinet Master, and Mu Canghai, only Su Yu knew the secret of the corpse kings' bodies.
He had come prepared to collect the corpse kings' remains without anyone else knowing. One could imagine how beneficial it would be.
Back then, a simple small piece had allowed Su Yu to capture the inspiration of the Heaven's Son Gazing at Air to break through to the Spirit Devouring Realm. If he could get more, wouldn't any divine techniques be like water flowing into a canal?
Thinking of this, Su Yu's emotions surged, and he was extremely tempted!
"However …" Mu Canghai was a little hesitant. "In addition to us, there may be overseas forces participating. Whether they know the secret of the corpse kings' bodies is unknown."
Hearing this, Su Yu was slightly shocked. "Overseas forces? Are there any forces outside of the Sea of Constellations? "
The Great Beginning Realm that he knew was limited to the Sea of Constellations.
