The fish were quickly cooked. Ningxue and Oculum each held a fish in their hands and ate in an unsightly manner. From time to time, cute, muffled whimpers escaped from Ningxue's stuffed mouth. Ye Wuchen took one and chewed it slowly. He looked at Ning Xue's way of eating and savored the comforting taste.
"Grandpa Chu, do you want some?" Ye Wuchen grabbed a fish that was roasted over the fire and asked.
Ning Xue followed his gaze and turned around. She immediately saw Chu Cang Ming, who was sitting on a wooden stump with a warm smile on his face. She waved the half-eaten fish in her hand and shouted with a grin, "Grandpa Chu, come quickly. Brother's roasted fish is delicious …" Halfway through her sentence, she picked up a fish and jogged over to Grandpa Chu. "Try it, Grandpa Chu. I'm sure you'll like it."
Chu Cang Ming had a pure heart and few desires. He rarely ate meat. Ever since Chu Jingtian left, he rarely ate. At this moment, he couldn't refuse Ningxue's kindness. He chuckled and took a bite under Ningxue's expectant gaze. His teeth moved slightly as he nodded with a smile. "Not bad, not bad. No wonder Ningxue likes it so much."
"Hehe." Ningxue laughed happily. "Grandpa Chu, eat more if you like it. There's a lot there."
"Haha, okay, okay." Chu Cang Ming nodded and looked at her with an unusually gentle gaze. It seemed like he was in a good mood at this moment.
The white-haired girl in front of him … Chu Cang Ming's emotions towards Ningxue were completely different from the gentle and calm he appeared on the surface. He had seen through Ye Wuchen's extraordinariness back then. How could he not have sensed her extraordinariness earlier than Ye Wuchen? Her body revealed too many inconceivable and unbelievable things. It was easy to see that her age and her clothes had not changed at all compared to three years ago. Moreover, he clearly remembered that three years ago, when she was told that Ye Wuchen had left, she emitted an aura that greatly shocked him amidst the intense throbbing of her emotions … That aura was extremely weak, and if he hadn't already stepped into the divine way, he would absolutely be unable to detect it. However, even though it was weak, it was clearly the aura of a god. No, it was the aura of a god! It was a terrifying aura that made him want to submit to it.
Yesterday, he had noticed that she and Oculum, the Maiden of Heavenly Punishment, were wearing the same clothes, except for the color of the clothes, which were black and white.
In this world, there were very few things that could shake his state of mind. Now that he saw Ningxue again, he couldn't control the waves in his heart.
Fate? As he looked at Ye Wuchen, Ningxue, and Oculum stuck together, the word "fate" repeatedly appeared in Chu Cang Ming's heart. In this world, there were many things that could only be explained by this word.
"Grandpa Chu, can you tell us a story?" Ye Wuchen put down the roasted fish in his mouth and raised his head. The smile on his lips was still there, but there was a seriousness in his eyes that Chu Cang Ming could understand.
"Oh?" Chu Cang Ming seemed to sense something, but still asked casually.
Ye Wuchen smiled faintly and said, "Back then, when I woke up from my ten years of deep sleep, the first voice I heard was Grandpa Chu's. At that time, Grandpa Chu was telling a group of children a story that wasn't very old. Can you tell this story to me, and to Cher and Oculum? "
"Eh? Really? What story is it? Grandpa Chu, I want to hear it. "Ningxue sat down next to Ye Wuchen and looked expectantly at Chu Cang Ming. How could she not be interested in a story that even her brother wanted to hear?
Chu Cang Ming and Ye Wuchen looked at each other for a while, revealing a meaningful look. Then, they looked away, raised their heads, and closed their eyes slightly. They were sorting out the legend they had heard from their grandfather. They didn't have to wait too long. Chu Cang Ming said slowly, "That story is indeed not that distant. It happened more than a hundred years ago."
"A hundred years ago? Could it be that this story … is true? "Ningxue asked curiously.
"Haha, if you think it's true, then you can treat it as true. If you don't think it's true, then it's not true. It's just a story, there's no need to pursue its truth. " Chu Cang Ming smiled warmly. His gaze slowly moved across Ningxue and Oculum. When he retracted his gaze, his eyes trembled violently.
"Oh …" Ningxue nodded, not really understanding. Then, she didn't interrupt. She chewed on the fish and quietly listened to Chu Cang Ming's story.
"This is a miraculous story that doesn't seem to be true. Back then, many people knew of this story, but now, very few people know of it. I heard it from my grandpa, and my grandpa heard it from his grandpa. Because my grandfather's grandfather had personally experienced all of this back then. He was one of the few people who knew the cause of that disaster. "Chu Cang Ming said with a face full of nostalgia.
Ye Wuchen nodded slightly and waited for the rest of the story. A hundred years ago, according to the time, seemed to coincide with the time when the Northern Emperor Sect split. Was there a connection between these two events?
"At that time, the Tianchen Continent also had four countries, and the situation was similar to now. Kui Shui, Cang Lan, and Tian Long were relatively peaceful, while Da Feng was restless. But although there were occasional wars, the situation was not chaotic. Until one day, a disaster fell from the sky and disturbed the peace of the Tianchen Continent. "
Fell from the sky … Ye Wuchen frowned slightly.
"There were only a few hundred people, only a few hundred. They had the appearance of humans, and wore strange black clothes. The clothes covered them from head to toe, so no one knew what they looked like. But they called themselves' demons'. "
"Demons … people only knew of the existence of gods in the Godly Continent. Demons had always existed in legends passed down from who knows when. When these 'demons' appeared in the Tianchen Continent and displayed their strength, a huge panic swept through the entire Tianchen Continent. Demons were existences on the same level as gods. How could the humans of the Tianchen Continent resist them? People had never seen the descent of gods, but they were attacked by demons. In an instant, it was those few hundred demons, in an extremely short period of time, who stirred up disasters in the Tianchen Continent. The four countries, which originally did not have a harmonious relationship, had no choice but to unite and resist these demons that came from who knows where. "
"But the strength of the demons was far beyond people's expectations. Even the strongest person in the Tianchen Continent at that time had to spend a lot of energy to defeat the most ordinary demon soldiers. At that time, the Northern Emperor Sect and Nanhuangzong who had always been hiding from the world were also forced to come out to resist the demons. They used their powerful strength to stop the demons from advancing, causing the demons to lose a lot of their strength, and they themselves were also heavily injured. "
Heavily injured … Could it be that the Northern Emperor Sect was heavily injured after the invasion of the demons, and then took the opportunity to split up … Indeed, if this was the case, it would be easy to explain why the mighty leader of the Northern Emperor Sect, who was definitely the strongest in the Northern Emperor Sect, would be forced into the Broken Soul Abyss.
"Grandpa Chu," Ye Wuchen interrupted his narration, frowned and asked: "Everything happens for a reason. If the demons wanted to invade the Tianchen Continent, it was very likely that they would have to tear open the space, which could be said to be extremely difficult. Moreover, they must have thought that their unusual movements would be discovered and stopped by the people of the Godly Continent. Then why did they still come here? If it was to occupy the Tianchen Continent — impossible, otherwise they would not have only sent a few hundred demons. They, were they looking for something? "
Chu Cang Ming's eyes flashed, and he praised: "That's right … At that time, almost everyone thought that these demons came from nowhere to occupy the Tianchen Continent and turn the people of the Tianchen Continent into their slaves. But my grandfather's grandfather knew that they were looking for something … Because, that year, a demon appeared in front of him and questioned him where these things were. "
"Questioned? What were they looking for? "Ye Wuchen asked.
"At that time, my grandfather's grandfather could be said to be the strongest person in the Tianchen Continent at that time. The leader of the demons followed the aura and found him. He thought that the person with the strongest aura here might know where the thing they were looking for was … But, my grandfather's grandfather didn't know where the thing they were looking for was, he had never even heard of it. In the end, he was defeated by the leader of the demons, and almost lost his life. That leader of the demons was too strong, my grandfather's grandfather couldn't even withstand a single blow from him. But he remembered every word he said, and the thing they were looking for … "
"Water Spirit Pearl, Fire Spirit Pearl, Wind Killing Pearl, Brilliant Earth Pearl. These were the things they were looking for, the leader of the demons called them four of the Ten Chaotic Saint Pearls. These four saint pearls, are all on the Tianchen Continent. Every single one of these sacred pearls contained the strongest corresponding element. The Water Spirit Pearl contains the strongest power of water in the primal chaos, the Fire Spirit Pearl contains the strongest power of fire in the primal chaos, the Wind Killing Pearl contains the strongest power of wind in the primal chaos, and the Brilliant Earth Pearl contains the strongest power of earth. "
Water Spirit Pearl, Fire Spirit Pearl, Wind Killing Pearl, Brilliant Earth Pearl … Four saint pearls … Ten saint pearls …
Ye Wuchen repeated these names repeatedly in his mind … The strongest elemental power in the primal chaos … Ten saint pearls … Ten? Water, fire, wind, thunder, earth, light, darkness, the seven natural elements, plus the three fate elements of life, death, and soul, didn't that add up to exactly ten … In other words, each element had a corresponding saint pearl in the primal chaos.
If what the leader of the demons said was true, the water, fire, wind, and earth of the ten saint pearls were in the Tianchen Continent, then the other six were in … the Godly Continent? Or the mysterious Demon Continent in the memory fragments sealed by the Star Slashing Sword and the Bow of Disaster?
Dark waves surged in his heart, but Ye Wuchen remained calm on the surface as he quietly listened to Chu Cang Ming's narration.
"My grandfather's grandfather still remembers the last few words he said … The leader of the demons said that he'd already found the location of the Fire Spirit Pearl, in the southernmost part of Tenryū Province, the Apocalypse Volcano. The entire Apocalypse Volcano was formed because of the existence of the Fire Spirit Pearl. That Extreme Flame Heavenly Dragon was born from the Fire Spirit Pearl. As long as we kill the Extreme Flame Heavenly Dragon, we'll be able to obtain the Fire Spirit Pearl from its body. "
Ye Wuchen's heart shook, and he couldn't help but suck in a breath.
Extreme Flame Heavenly Dragon … Fire Spirit Pearl.
Then, its death was because …
