The Heavenly Court exploded?
Even though Nine Lanterns explained that the Heavenly Court wasn't the one Song Shuhang was familiar with, the words' the Heavenly Court exploded 'still gave Song Shuhang a huge shock.
"How did it explode?" he asked curiously. Since it was called the 'Heavenly Court', even if it wasn't as exaggerated as the Nine Heavens in the legends, it should at least be a huge territory, right? What kind of explosion could blow up the Heavenly Court in one go?
Nine Lanterns replied, "There are many theories. The first is that the powerful Emperor Of Heaven who single-handedly established the Heavenly Court was researching a terrifying daoist technique. Then, something went wrong with that daoist technique, and the entire Heavenly Court exploded. It's said that even the Emperor Of Heaven himself was turned to ashes! However, all the experts in the world of cultivators know that someone as powerful as the Emperor Of Heaven definitely wouldn't be turned to ashes by an explosion. However, so many years have passed, and there's still no news of the Emperor Of Heaven. This makes people feel that something is amiss. "
Song Shuhang was speechless.
The Emperor Of Heaven didn't even find a safe place to research a terrifying daoist technique that accidentally blew up the entire Heavenly Court? It was as if he was researching an atomic bomb in his own backyard. Just how much did he want to court death?
"The second theory is that the Heavenly Court was besieged by several terrifying forces, including the Netherworld Realm, the Beast Realm, and the Ghost Realm. During the chaotic battle, the Heavenly Court was blown up. "Nine Lanterns raised her second finger and explained.
Song Shuhang silently nodded. This was the most logical possibility! He couldn't help but imagine the scene of demons, devils, ghosts, monsters, and beasts attacking the Heavenly Court. Finally, the tragic fall of the Heavenly Court should have been an epic scene!
"The third theory is that the Heavenly Court was plotted against by the new Wielder of Heaven. In one night, the Heavenly Court exploded, and all the prosperity of the past vanished into thin air." Nine Lanterns raised her third finger.
After she finished speaking, she narrowed her eyes and asked, "In that case, which of the three theories do you think is the closest to the truth?"
Song Shuhang shook his head honestly and said, "Miss Nine Lanterns. I'm just an ordinary laborer who has only been in contact with cultivation for a few months. I don't even know what the 'Heavenly Court' is. I can't answer this question at all. "
"Boring. Can't you just make a random guess?" Nine Lanterns said. She let go of Song Shuhang's hand.
At this time, Shuhang found that the clouds under his feet were so solid that he could stand on them without worry.
He curiously stepped on the clouds a few times, and then casually replied, "There's no point in making random guesses … Moreover, compared to the three possibilities, there's only one possibility. What I'm more concerned about is the 'new Will of the Heavens' mentioned in your third point. Can the Heavenly Dao be old and new? "
The term Heavenly Dao represented the ultimate truth, origin, body, laws, principles, realms, and so on. They were the rules and principles of all things. It had a close and inseparable relationship with cultivation.
However, would an existence like the Heaven Dao be differentiated into old and new?
If the Heavenly Dao was constantly changing, how could cultivators cultivate?
Today, 'eating watermelons can lead to longevity', tomorrow, 'eating pumpkins can lead to longevity', and the day after tomorrow, 'eating watermelons can lead to longevity'. Wouldn't cultivators be played to death?
"The Heavenly Dao has never changed, but those who wield the Will of the Heavenly Dao are the same. Since ancient times, it has undergone several changes. " Nine Lanterns looked ahead and indifferently said, "The goal of us cultivators is to live forever and cultivate our true selves. In the end, we will suppress the myriad worlds and bear the Will of the Heavens. We will become the only one in the myriad worlds and wield the will of the Heavenly Dao. From then on, he would surpass immortality and attain true immortality, undying and indestructible. It could almost be said. Transform your body into the Heavenly Dao! "
Song Shuhang asked doubtfully, "Since it's truly immortal and indestructible, why did the wielder of the will of the Heavenly Way go through several changes?"
Nine Lanterns shrugged. "Who knows? I don't understand either. I'm just like a microphone, relaying to you the knowledge I heard from my seniors. How much you can understand depends on how big the hole in your brain is. "
Song Shuhang nodded and asked the next question, "In that case, why did the new Wielder of the Will want to deal with the Heavenly Court?"
Nine Lanterns suddenly laughed happily. "Young man, don't worry. "Young man, this is a good question! This was the correct way to 'follow the topic and ask questions'. Your previous conversation was too jumpy and didn't cooperate with my description. The questions you asked made me feel as if there was something stuck in my throat, and I had to spit it out. "
Song Shuhang was speechless.
"Cough, why did the new Wielder of the Will want to deal with the Heavenly Court? That's because the Heavenly Court was the strongest force among us cultivators at the time. If they wanted to deal with cultivators, they would naturally attack the Heavenly Court first. "Nine Lanterns sighed.
"Attack cultivators? Attack the Heavenly Court? Why? " Song Shuhang furrowed his brows. Suddenly, he had a thought. "Could it be that the new Wielder of the Will isn't a cultivator?"
There were cultivators in this world, but there were also demons, devils, ghosts, monsters, and so on.
If the new Wielder of the Will of the Heavens wasn't a cultivator, and it even had a grudge against cultivators, it would be reasonable for it to attack cultivators.
"You're quite smart." Nine Lanterns had a bitter expression on her face. "You guessed the answer so quickly, and I, who was in charge of explaining, didn't enjoy it by 80%."
"I'm sorry." Song Shuhang quickly apologized.
"You guessed correctly. The new Wielder of the Will wasn't a cultivator. We don't even know the origin of the new Wielder of the Will, nor do we know its race or faction. In just one night, the Wielder of the Will, which was originally on the side of us cultivators, was replaced by the new Wielder of the Will. Now that I think about it, this is something that happened very long ago … but when the surviving seniors of the cultivation world talk about this period of history, they all have an unbearable expression on their faces, "Nine Lanterns said gloomily.
Song Shuhang rubbed his temples.
Why did it suddenly become such a heavy topic?
It felt like an employee working overtime to gain the appreciation of the boss and get a promotion and a raise, and the boss was also very appreciative of the hard-working employee. But just when the future was bright, the boss suddenly changed, and it was someone who had a grudge against the employee?
Moreover, he was just a rookie cultivator of the First Stage. After learning about this terrifying fact, it was a huge psychological blow to his heart.
…
…
While Nine Lanterns was introducing the past of the cultivation world, she led Song Shuhang through the Southern Heavenly Gate.
After entering, Song Shuhang looked around and saw a sea of clouds. Above the sea of clouds, there were many palaces floating up and down. But in most places, there were only foundations, and no palaces.
"This is the Heavenly Realm, and the great senior is in the deepest bronze palace." Nine Lanterns pointed at a huge bronze palace in the depths of the sea of clouds.
"Heavenly Realm … Heavenly Court. Miss Nine Lanterns, could it be that you want to rebuild the Heavenly Court? "Song Shuhang asked.
His tone was quite certain. Anyone who saw this scene would be able to guess that Nine Lanterns and the senior behind her wanted to rebuild the Heavenly Court!
"Yes, we are rebuilding the Heavenly Court." Nine Lanterns didn't hide anything. This was what she wanted Song Shuhang to know.
After leaving the Heavenly Island, Song Shuhang's memories would be temporarily sealed. One day in the future, when Song Shuhang made a decision, the seal would automatically open, and he would be able to visit the Heavenly Island again.
At that time, Song Shuhang would have the opportunity to become a part of the Heavenly Island...
"So that's how it is. Because you can't let the 'new Wielder of the Will' know that you are rebuilding the Heavenly Court, all the cultivators that leave this place chose to seal their memories?" Song Shuhang guessed.
"It's not that simple." Nine Lanterns smiled.
Just this point alone wasn't enough for the cultivators that left this place to willingly seal their memories.
After all … sealing one's memories could easily lead to the loss of one's spirit, and if one's spirit wasn't complete, it would be much more difficult for a cultivator to advance in the future.
"The rebuilding of the Heavenly Court concerns the future of every cultivator. If you want to know, you can ask the senior. "As Nine Lanterns spoke, she led Song Shuhang past a palace.
In the blink of an eye, Song Shuhang felt as though he had passed through an invisible barrier and entered another world.
"Illusory Reality!" Song Shuhang blurted out.
There was no mistaking this feeling. He had personally experienced Venerable White's' Illusory Reality ', and it was exactly this feeling.
"Yes, it is. It seems that you've come in contact with a cultivator of the Venerable realm." Nine Lanterns faintly smiled. "In addition, the Illusory Reality is also the greatest secret of the Heavenly Court."
As they spoke, Nine Lanterns brought Song Shuhang forward, and they quickly arrived in front of the bronze palace.
Song Shuhang took a deep breath and made up his mind.
After entering the ancient palace, he wouldn't say anything, ask anything, or be curious about anything. After sealing his memories, he would leave the Heavenly Island.
He felt that if he was too curious, something bad would happen.
…
…
On the other side.
In the forest of the Heavenly Island.
The old professor bent down and carefully cut off a leaf. He then carefully placed it in his bosom with a satisfied expression on his face.
Right at this moment … suddenly, a huge earthworm-like monster burrowed out of the ground and swallowed the old professor in one gulp, holding him in place.
Blood spurted out … and the old professor screamed again and again.
The passengers behind him were so scared that they hugged each other, screaming and crying.
Just as the old professor was about to die, his body suddenly ignited with a flame-like radiance. After a short moment, his body turned into particles of light and disappeared.
The third way to leave the Heavenly Island was to die once and be sent back to the city for free. Moreover, when you were sent back, you would receive a high-efficiency healing technique, which would allow you to be rejuvenated from head to toe, both inside and out.
Of course, there was a small fee for this healing technique. After all, the Heavenly Island was a place that paid particular attention to 'absolutely fair trade'.
This was also the reason why Nine Lanterns assured Song Shuhang that the lives of ordinary people wouldn't be in danger. (To be continued.)
