Subsequently.
Qin Shujian also told Xia Chao about the current situation of the human race.
Since he wanted to exchange for information.
Then he needed an equivalent exchange.
In any case, this information wasn't a secret. Who knew when a human would come here.
Alright!
From Qin Shujian's point of view, the probability of someone coming here was not high.
This was already the inner area of the sea.
Moreover, the sea was vast and boundless. Although Heavenly Pattern Island wasn't small, it was like a grain of sand compared to the entire sea.
Even if someone was lucky enough to enter the inner area, they might not be able to find Heavenly Pattern Island.
And looking at the situation of Heavenly Pattern Island.
It should have been a long time since outsiders came.
At least after the destruction of the Heavenly Court, no outsiders came.
Xia Chao also fell into deep thought.
After a long time, he sighed and said, "I didn't expect the human race to be so weak. Immortals are extinct, and even Heavenly Men can be called Emperors."
In his words.
There was a lot of disdain for the Human Emperor.
Qin Shujian smiled in response.
In any case, the other party disdained the Human Emperor, not him, so what did it matter?
As for whether the Human Emperor could destroy Heavenly Pattern Island or not, the probability was quite high.
However, these words.
Qin Shujian wouldn't say it out loud. He could only ridicule it in his heart.
Heavenly Pattern Island wasn't strong, but their horizons were really high.
But the more it was like this, the happier Qin Shujian was.
The history of Heavenly Pattern Island was longer than he had imagined. Then, he might be able to find out a lot of things from Xia Chao.
Subsequently.
Xia Chao looked at Qin Shujian and said, "If you have anything you want to know, feel free to ask. Some things are better known by others than by time."
Qin Shujian asked, "Senior, may I ask what kind of great tribulation you're talking about?"
The great calamity that led to the destruction of the Heavenly Court.
He was very curious.
The Human Emperor and Marquis Beiyun should know something, but they weren't willing to say it.
Since they weren't willing to say it, Qin Shujian couldn't force them to ask.
Now that he had the chance, it was a good time to understand.
Xia Chao was suddenly immersed in his memories. There seemed to be some fear on his face, but there also seemed to be some killing intent. After struggling for a long time, he finally gave up and spoke.
"The great calamity originated from the Demon Abyss. At that time, the myriad races were at their peak. The Emperor Of Heaven established the Heavenly Court and ruled over the myriad races in the world. It was a glory that the world had never seen before."
"It's different from the current human race. Back then, the celestials were also experts, but they weren't at the peak."
"Because above the Celestials are the Immortals. The strongest among the Immortals is the Emperor. As for the Emperor Of Heaven, he is above the Emperor."
"Until one day, the Demonic Abyss opened. A large number of evil demons rushed into the world, slaughtering all living beings and creating demonic disasters. They engaged in endless battles with the Heavenly Court and the myriad races …"
Xia Chao spoke and stopped, as if he was recalling something.
He had lived for far too long.
It was so long ago that many of his memories had been erased by time.
Qin Shujian sat aside and listened attentively.
From Xia Chao's words, he seemed to have seen the heyday of the Myriad Races.
Humans, Shifter, Eldar, Protoss —
Every powerful race had an Emperor.
Although some weak races didn't have Emperors, they still had almighty figures and even immortals.
At that time, the Myriad Races were the most prosperous period of the world.
Most of the races could be compared to the current human race. Even the weak races at the bottom of the Myriad Races were not much weaker than the current human race.
The strength of the human race lay in the Human Emperor, a powerhouse who could kill almighty figures.
Without the Human Emperor, the human race might not be stronger than those weak races.
Because from Xia Chao's words, even the weakest race in the Myriad Races of the past had no less than ten almighty figures.
If Xia Chao hadn't said it himself.
Qin Shujian would never believe that the Myriad Races of the past would be so glorious, and the human race of the past would be so powerful.
Among the Myriad Races.
The human race was number one.
There was no other reason. Because the Emperor Of Heaven was a human.
The Emperor Of Heaven could intimidate the Myriad Races and establish the Supreme Heavenly Court. His title as the number one powerhouse of the Myriad Races was unquestionable.
Qin Shujian said, "Could it be that with the tyrannical strength of the Myriad Races, they can't resist the Demon Abyss?"
"They can't resist it!"
Xia Chao shook his head and said, "The demons are too strong. The weakest demons in the Demon Abyss are at the Celestial Being Realm. Moreover, other than a few methods, they can't be killed at all. If that's all, it's fine.
The Demon Gods in the Demon Abyss are at the seventh level of the Celestial Being Realm, and the strong have reached the Immortal Realm.
In the past, when the Demon Abyss first invaded the world, many races were destroyed. Later, the Heavenly Court reacted and organized powerhouses to resist the Demon Abyss, but they were still defeated. "
Xia Chao sighed.
"Actually, before you came, I had already guessed that the Heavenly Court might have been destroyed, but I still had a fantasy in my heart that the Heavenly Court would win."
"But from the looks of it, the Heavenly Court still failed."
Hearing this.
Qin Shujian was silent for a moment, then said, "The Heavenly Court can't be considered a failure. At least there are no demons wreaking havoc in the world now."
"That's right. The Heavenly Court didn't lose, and neither did the Myriad Races."
"The demons have been beaten back."
Xia Chao's turbid eyes shone brightly, and a carefree smile appeared on his face.
However, judging from his wrinkled skin, such a smile was a little creepy.
Qin Shujian said, "May I ask who Senior is? Why do you know so much about the Heavenly Court? I'm afraid that millions of years have passed since ancient times!"
"Millions of years? Maybe! "
Xia Chao muttered, then shook his head. He looked at Qin Shujian and said seriously, "My surname is Xia!"
Qin Shujian was confused.
Then?
Your surname is Xia. What does it mean?
Seeing Qin Shujian's expression, Xia Chao shook his head and sighed, "It seems that the Heavenly Court has been destroyed for a long time. No one even knows the name Xia."
"Uh, I'm short-sighted. I hope Senior doesn't blame me."
"Fine!" Xia Chao said. His stooped back suddenly straightened a little, and he said seriously, "The former Human Emperor was called Emperor Xia!"
Emperor Xia!
Qin Shujian's pupils shrank.
He finally understood why Xia Chao had such a posture when he mentioned his surname. It turned out that he was a descendant of the former Human Emperor.
It was no wonder that the other party had so much information.
Xia Chao continued, "Emperor Xia had fifteen sons, and the last one was named Sun Chao!"
Sun Chao?
Xia, Xia Chao!?
Qin Shujian was puzzled at first, and then his expression changed drastically when he looked at Xia Chao.
Xia Chao!
Was he the son of the former Human Emperor, a direct descendant?
"Impossible. It's been millions of years since ancient times, and the lifespan of a Celestial Being is only 7,000 years. How, how —"
Qin Shujian was really shocked.
His first reaction was that Xia Chao was lying to him.
But when he saw the other party's calm expression and the strong rotten aura on his body, Qin Shujian was a little uncertain.
He was really the son of the Human Emperor!
The person sitting in front of him was an old antique who had lived for god knows how many years?
However —
Qin Shujian couldn't believe that Xia Chao could live for millions of years.
If that was the case, how could the other party be a mere Celestial Being?
Thinking of this —
Qin Shujian couldn't help but look at Xia Chao with his Dharma Eyes.
Suddenly, Xia Chao's attributes appeared in his sight.
Seeing this —
Qin Shujian was secretly shocked again. "Ten levels of the Celestial Being Realm!"
Ten levels of the Celestial Being Realm was the peak of the mighty.
In other words, the other party was an expert at the limit of the Celestial Being Realm. He was only one step away from breaking through to the Immortal Realm.
However, looking at Xia Chao's current appearance, he was afraid that the realm of the Celestial Being Realm was empty, but he didn't have the strength to match it.
At least —
Qin Shujian didn't feel any threat from the other party.
Xia Chao looked at Qin Shujian's eyes with a hint of surprise on his face, but he didn't get angry. He said, "I've never heard of your means, but it's not a good thing to pry into other people's lives."
Qin Shujian immediately reacted and apologized, "Senior, please don't blame me. I couldn't help it for a moment."
"Forget it, I have nothing worth hiding."
Xia Chao shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I'm just a half-dead Celestial Being Realm cultivator. That's all I can do!"
Qin Shujian said, "Please forgive me for being presumptuous, but I want to ask, with your realm, how did you survive from ancient times until now?"
"Could it be that — there is really a way to live forever in the world?"
He asked the question that all normal people would ask.
Living from ancient times until now.
No matter how good Qin Shujian's mentality was, he couldn't suppress the shock in his heart.
If the news were to spread, the world would probably go crazy over it.
At that time —
Even if the inner area of the Sea Area was extremely dangerous, there would still be a steady stream of people coming here to explore.
Because the temptation of immortality was really too great.
At that moment, Qin Shujian had the impulse to get the secret of immortality from Xia Chao.
But soon, this impulse was forcibly suppressed by him.
Immortality was good, but there was definitely a price to pay.
Looking at Xia Chao's appearance, it could be seen.
If there was really no price, how could the other party wander around the tenth level of the Celestial Being Realm? Or was it really so difficult to break through to the Immortal Realm that there was no chance to succeed in tens of millions of years?
Qin Shujian didn't know, and he wasn't sure.
He knew a lot of things, but that was also relatively speaking.
Compared to Xia Chao, what he knew was really too little.
Qin Shujian was struggling in his heart, and Xia Chao was also looking at him.
After he put down the impulse in his heart, Xia Chao smiled and said, "There is no real immortality in the world. The so-called immortality comes with a price."
"What you need to know is that whatever you get, you have to pay a corresponding price."
"I have lived from ancient times until now, and the price is that I will never be able to break through my current realm, and I will never be able to leave this hall, and my body will continue to age."
Xia Chao's tone was inexplicable.
There was a price to pay for immortality.
As the son of Emperor Xia, how could his talent be weak?
Hearing this, Qin Shujian thought to himself, "As expected."
Xia Chao glanced at him, and then continued, "When the Demon Abyss invaded, the Myriad Races were defeated. The former Human Emperor was afraid that the inheritance of the Human Race would be cut off, so he asked me to bring a part of the Human Race to the sea to preserve the foundation.
The Monster Race and Eldar of the Myriad Races also had the same idea, and the three races hit it off.
Then, they each sent a small part of their forces to the sea, and finally found the Heavenly Pattern Island and settled here. "
Xia Chao seemed to have not spoken for many years.
Or could it be that he had kept these things in his heart for too long, and now that he met Qin Shujian, he had the urge to say it all.
"The Human Emperor once said that if the Myriad Races defeated the demons, then he would send out a new edict to bring us back. If the Myriad Races were defeated by the demons, then we would be the last bloodline of the Human Race, Monster Race, and Spirit Race.
When the three races came to the Heavenly Pattern Island, we waited day and night for a message from the Three Race Emperors.
However, we waited for a long time, and there was no news. Only the war continued. Even if we hid in the sea, we could still clearly feel it.
Until one day, I seemed to see the Heavenly Court fall. Heaven and earth were shaking, and the heavens were howling. Blood rained down for three years … "
Xia Chao seemed to have returned to that scene.
First, fear appeared in his eyes, and his tone became more anxious. "We knew that there was a war outside, and we also felt that experts were falling. The Human Emperor, the Monster Emperor, Ling Huang … the Emperors of the various races were falling, and the Immortals of the Heavenly Court were also falling.
We wanted to fight, but there was nothing we could do because the Heavenly Pattern Island was the last inheritance and hope of the three races. "
"We had been waiting, waiting for the summons of the Three Race Emperors. We hoped that the Myriad Races would win in the end."
"But a thousand years have passed, three thousand years have passed, five thousand years have passed, and there has been no news from Group Three."
"We thought that the Heavenly Court had been defeated and the world had turned into a demonic land. However, there was still a glimmer of hope, so we kept the inheritance and waited for our Emperor to send someone to bring us back."
Hearing this.
Qin Shujian somewhat understood Xia Chao's thoughts. There was a glimmer of hope that had never been extinguished. Even if it had been tens of millions of years, he would not forget it.
But now, he brought the news of the Heavenly Court's destruction and the demons retreating to the Demon Abyss.
To a certain extent, he could be considered to have resolved the other party's obsession.
All of a sudden.
Qin Shujian was startled again. He looked at Xia Chao with a strange look in his eyes.
He had resolved the other party's obsession. Could it be that the other party had hung up after saying a few words?
If that was really the case, then it would be very funny.
Qin Shujian thought about the seniors and experts that he had heard of in the past. It seemed that they all waited until they finished speaking and then immediately died.
Xia Chao did not know what Qin Shujian was thinking and said, "In order to protect the inheritance, someone chose a forbidden technique. He merged himself with a Taoist Artifact and transformed himself into a different kind of Artifact Spirit, living in the world forever.
Countless years have passed, and I thought that no more humans would come. I didn't expect that you would come today. "
A forbidden technique!
Merging with a Taoist Artifact!
Hearing this, Qin Shujian immediately extinguished the last bit of fantasy he had about immortality.
He finally knew the reason why Xia Chao did not die.
It was because he had turned himself into an Artifact Spirit that he had survived until now.
After all, as long as a Taoist Artifact was not destroyed, it could exist forever with the world. Xia Chao's method could be considered a different kind of immortality.
But for Qin Shujian, this was definitely not what he wanted.
Being imprisoned forever by a Taoist Artifact, unable to leave, and having his cultivation stagnate, was no different from drinking poison to quench one's thirst.
After figuring out Xia Chao's matter and the great calamity of the ancient times.
Qin Shujian also understood one thing, which was why the Human Emperor and the Marquis of Beiyun had always avoided talking about the great calamity of the Demon Abyss.
It was because this matter really could not be said out loud.
If the Human Race knew that the Myriad Races and the Heavenly Court in the past, which were hundreds or thousands of times more powerful than the current Human Race, could not contend against the Demon Abyss …
Then, the matter that was supposed to motivate and integrate the Human Race would directly crush the morale of the entire Human Race.
When the calamity was so powerful that it could not be resisted, it was normal for the Human Race to collapse.
Think about how they had worked hard to cultivate for hundreds or thousands of years and made complete preparations, and then someone told them that it was useless. No matter how much preparation they had, they would not succeed.
That would be a devastating blow to these people.
At the same time …
Qin Shujian also admired the Human Emperor.
Obviously, the other party was not willing to die in the hands of the evil demons.
Faking his death to integrate the Human Race, eliminate the hidden dangers, and open up the three continents were all preparations to resist the Demon Abyss.
"Perhaps this is the reason why the Human Emperor did not stop Yuan Zong from advancing!"
Qin Shujian also thought of another thing.
The Demon Abyss was so powerful.
Every bit of strength that the Human Race increased was the capital to resist the Demon Abyss.
Qin Shujian took a few deep breaths.
Then, he looked at Xia Chao and asked seriously, "I also have a few things that I would like to ask you."
"Go ahead!"
"Senior, have you heard of the Four Great Continents?"
"The Four Great Continents?"
"They are the East Continent, the Aparagodānīya Continent, the Nanzhan Continent, and the North Continent." Qin Shujian told him about the Four Great Continents in his impression.
Xia Chao pondered for a moment, trying to find something in his dissipating memories.
After about 15 minutes, he came back to his senses, shook his head, and said, "I have never heard of the Four Great Continents that you mentioned."
When Qin Shujian heard this, he did not know whether to feel disappointed or some other emotion.
Xia Chao had never heard of the Four Great Continents.
Then, the Four Great Continents that he knew might not be the same as the Four Great Continents now.
However.
Qin Shujian did not completely give up, and asked again, "Senior, have you heard of Mount Huaguo?"
"There are many mountains in the world, and I can't remember if there is a Mount Huaguo."
"Are there any mountains in the sea?"
"How can there be mountains in the Death Sea Region? There are only some scattered islands, and these islands were all destroyed by a great battle in the past, and then floated to the surface of the sea."
Xia Chao shook his head, looking a little embarrassed.
He originally thought that his knowledge could answer Qin Shujian's doubts.
In the end, the other party asked a few questions that he had never heard of.
If Xia Chao did not know how to read people's expressions and knew that Qin Shujian was not talking nonsense, he would have thought that the other party had made up the answers.
Qin Shujian asked, "Then, senior, have you heard of the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal, Sun Wukong?"
"Great Sage, Heaven's Equal, what a big tone!"
Xia Chao's turbid eyes glowed as he said, "Even the Rulers of the 10,000 races wouldn't dare to be called Heaven's Equal. Who is this person to dare to have such an honorific title?"
Well, the other party did not know.
Qin Shujian was speechless.
However, looking at Xia Chao's expression, he still said, "It's just a rumor. There might not be such a person at all."
"I see. I was wondering when there was a person who dared to call himself Heaven's Equal. You should know that the Emperor Heaven is supreme, and no one has ever been on equal footing with him."
Xia Chao nodded in agreement.
The Emperor Heaven was the most powerful one. No one was more powerful than the Emperor Heaven, not even his father.
Even the dignified Emperor Xia did not dare to call himself Heaven's Equal. Which corner of the world dared to call himself Heaven's Equal?
Qin Shujian was too lazy to argue with the other party, but Xia Chao's words reminded him of something.
"I wonder what the name of the former Emperor Heaven is?"
Xia Chao was somewhat displeased. "How can others know the name of the Emperor Heaven?"
Qin Shujian said, "Then, what is the title of the Emperor Heaven?"
"The two words' Heavenly Emperor 'are already an honorific title. There are no other honorific titles." Xia Chao looked at him strangely, thought for a moment, and said, "But I once heard Emperor Xia say that the Emperor Heaven's surname seems to be Qin.
As for what Qin is, I don't know. "
At this point …
Xia Chao smiled and said, "Your Excellency is also surnamed Qin. You are lucky to have the same surname as the Emperor Heaven. Maybe you also have the Emperor Heaven's bloodline."
The Emperor Heaven's bloodline?
Qin Shujian smiled awkwardly and said, "Senior, you must be joking."
He was not interested in finding an ancestor for himself.
If the Emperor Heaven still had power, it would be fine. Maybe he could take advantage of this opportunity to borrow his power. But now that the Heavenly Court was gone, the Myriad Races were almost dead.
Even if he wore the title of the descendant of the Emperor Heaven, it would not benefit him at all.
Looking at Xia Chao in front of him, Qin Shujian did not intend to ask anything more.
The other party did not know anything. After chatting for so long, other than knowing the ancient calamity and the surname of the Emperor Heaven, there was no more information.
Just as he was about to end the conversation …
Qin Shujian thought of something and asked, "Senior, have you heard of the pursuers?"
He had asked Xu Yuanming to investigate the pursuers, but there was no news at all.
In this way …
Qin Shujian could not help but wonder if the pursuers were also from ancient times.
It just so happened that there was an ancient living fossil here, so he could ask about it.
Again, he repeated his thoughts.
Again, he shook his head.
Xia Chao said, "I've never heard of the pursuers. It seems that I can't give you a satisfactory answer to your many doubts. I've disappointed you."
It would be a lie to say that he was not disappointed.
However, Qin Shujian at least knew that the Flowerfruit Mountain should not exist in the sea. The four great continents were not the four great continents he had imagined.
But from the inaudibility of the two words Pangu …
He also felt that this world was very consistent with some of the information he had in mind.
Qin Shujian said, "Now that Senior knows that the demons have retreated, do you plan to bring the various races of the Heavenly Pattern Island back to the human territory?"
His words also had the intention of probing.
Xia Chao sighed and shook his head, "If you were hundreds of thousands of years ago, I would have let the various races of the Heavenly Pattern Island return to their former territories. But hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and the living beings of the island have already taken root here.
If they leave, it might not be a good thing. "
Moreover, he knew that the demons had retreated, and the obsession in his heart had been eliminated. There were some things that he did not need to be too stubborn about.
