Yan Zhaoge placed the Profound Sky Purple Golden Furnace on the altar in the south. Lights floated above the altar and formed ancient runes.
The Cloud Conquest Emperor stood by the side and read softly.
"When I opened my eyes in the darkness, it was like a newborn baby … From ignorance to understanding, the long years of the past appeared like the living beings' memories … It was like my previous life. Thousands of years had passed since the Heavenly Court's Divine Palace was destroyed … Everything that happened yesterday was like death yesterday. Everything that happened today was like life today. From today onwards, my name is Awakened Sky, and not Awakened Sky Hall. I only live for myself!"
He Mian said, "As expected, it's the initial thought. It should be the thought of the Awakened Sky Hall's hall spirit when its intelligence was completely perfected."
The Pill Hall was a common name. The official name of the Heavenly Court's Divine Palace's Pill Hall was the Awakened Sky Hall.
Yan Zhaoge didn't say anything. He took the Profound Sky Purple Golden Furnace and placed it on the altar in the northeast of the pavilion.
This altar also projected light and shadow, condensing into a sentence.
Yan Zhaoge read through it and remained silent. It was rare for him to be absent-minded.
"I'm not alone … In the past, when I was ignorant, I didn't investigate the countless things that happened. Now that my senses have fused together and the past events have surfaced, I know that I'm not the first … The Primordial Prosperous Pavilion already had its own intelligence before the Heavenly Court's Divine Palace was destroyed. It wasn't something that I, who was like a puppet, could compare to … Unfortunately, it was destroyed along with the Heavenly Court's Divine Palace. He died … How does death feel?"
The Cloud Conquest Emperor read it and was shocked, "From what the Awakened Sky Hall's hall spirit said, there were already other buildings that had their own intelligence in the Heavenly Court's Divine Palace even before the Great Calamity?"
"Master, what's the Primordial Prosperous Pavilion?" He Mian asked.
Cloud Emperor let out a long sigh and his expression returned to normal, "The ancient book is incomplete, so I'm not sure. However, if I'm not wrong, it should be the legendary Heavenly Court's Divine Palace's Martial Repository."
"Martial Repository?" He Mian's expression turned serious, "Other than the Three Clear lineage's direct lineage, the Heavenly Court's Divine Palace's Martial Repository that recorded ninety percent of the Daoism martial arts before the Great Calamity?"
"Rumor has it that the Three Clear Lineage's lineage has also recorded it, but it's incomplete." The Cloud Emperor said, "Apart from the lineage, ninety percent of it is not an exaggeration."
"Before the Great Calamity, the martial dao was flourishing. The various branches of the Three Clear Lineage had also developed many exquisite and peerless martial arts, not allowing their predecessors to monopolize them."
He Mian's thoughts wandered as he listened.
"It's a pity that it was destroyed in the Great Calamity. Otherwise, it would have been a massive treasure trove."
He regained his senses and clicked his tongue in wonder, "I didn't expect that the Heavenly Court's Divine Palace already had the primordial spirits of other buildings that had developed their own sentience before the Pill Hall. However, just like what the Pill Hall's hall spirit had said, it's actually a form of misfortune. It was destroyed together with the Heavenly Court's Divine Palace, just like how our people were killed. "
Yan Zhaoge's current expression also seemed to have just recovered from his shock as he nodded, "That's right …"
He took out the Profound Sky Purple Golden Furnace and placed it on the altar in the west.
The contents of the runes that were displayed this time caused Yan Zhaoge's pupils to shrink slightly again.
"Although I've been reborn, I feel like I've been trapped in a cage ever since I was born … I can't leave this hall, and I can't become stronger. Even the injuries I received during the Heavenly Court's Divine Palace's destruction can't be healed … I'm not resigned to this … In the past, Yuanheng tried to create a fake body for himself by imitating a human's body. I can do it too. I must break free from the shackles of my past!"
The Cloud Emperor and He Mian were both stunned when they saw it, "Creating a fake body for himself by imitating a human's body?"
They looked at each other.
Yuanheng should be the Pill Hall's hall spirit's way of naming. It was used to refer to the Heavenly Court's Martial Repository's hall spirit that had developed its own sentience before him.
"From the looks of it, could it be that the Yuanheng Pavilion's hall spirit not only developed its own sentience before the Great Calamity, but it also planned to create a human-like body for itself?"
Moreover, according to the Pill Hall's hall spirit's words, the Martial Repository's hall spirit seemed to have succeeded in the past.
Both the Cloud Emperor and He Mian felt that it was inconceivable. What they had seen and heard today was out of their expectations.
"Wait. According to what you're saying, the Pill Hall's hall spirit left the Pill Hall's core hub, the Purple Divine Pavilion, in order to obtain a human-like body?" He Mian reacted.
Yan Zhaoge said slowly, "I've collected the remains of the six Daoists that went missing previously. However, I've also done some investigations."
"It's a pity that the insides of their bodies were all destroyed. Moreover, they were extremely detailed."
"I didn't understand the reason previously. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that …"
As he spoke, he shook his head.
The Cloud Emperor and He Mian's expressions turned serious, "It's to investigate the human body's structure, and to prepare for the creation of his own body!"
"Previously, when the central altar said that the preparations weren't sufficient, was it referring to this as well?" He Mian muttered to himself.
"I'm afraid so." Yan Zhaoge nodded, "He said that I took the Profound Sky Purple Golden Furnace and foiled his plans. From this, it can be seen that his original intention was to kidnap more people to investigate and research."
The Cloud Emperor said, "This Pill Hall's hall spirit is an extremely dangerous existence after gaining its own intelligence."
Ego, cold, firm, and resolute.
"From what he said, he can't directly occupy our bodies. Even if we're already dead, he can't reincarnate into someone else's body." He Mian analyzed, "If he doesn't possess a human body, he won't be able to leave the Pill Hall. At the same time, he won't be able to recover from his injuries."
"However, if he possesses a human body, he'll be completely free. Moreover, he can cultivate like us and increase his own strength."
He Mian frowned slightly, "Only, I don't know how much control he has over this hall after obtaining a human body."
"It's hard to say. However, let's treat it as if he still has control over the Pill Hall, and guard against it." The Cloud Emperor looked at that line of words and said thoughtfully, "In this line of words, he mentioned the matter regarding the Heavenly Court's Divine Palace's Martial Repository's pavilion spirit. Something feels weird about it?"
Yan Zhaoge was also staring at that line of words. Then, he said, "Before the Great Calamity, the Heavenly Court's Divine Palace's Martial Repository was filled with experts. Although the Martial Repository's pavilion spirit was the manager of the Martial Repository, did the rulers of the Heavenly Court's Divine Palace realize that he had gained his own intelligence?"
"Especially when the pavilion spirit seemed to be trying to create a human body for himself."
The Cloud Conquest Emperor clapped his hands and praised, "Fallen Deity, you're right. I feel that something is weird about this place."
The old man looked at that line of words and sighed, "It's a pity that the Heavenly Court's Divine Palace's Martial Repository that was glorious in the past, and collected the knowledge of the world wasn't like this Pill Hall. It survived the Great Calamity, and its mysteries were buried in history."
"Yeah, I'm also curious about the answer to the mystery." Yan Zhaoge squinted his eyes.
He had a few questions hidden in his heart.
For example, what exactly happened during the Great Calamity in the past?
"And for example …" Yan Zhaoge thought faintly in his heart, "… During my first life in this world, why didn't I even have the chance to become a human? When I gained consciousness, I was already the Martial Repository's pavilion spirit?"
