"The humans of the archaic era were very mysterious. Their numbers were few and they rarely interacted with other races. However, there were indeed invincible existences among them …"
The monkey seemed to have sunk into an ancient memory. He slowly spoke about the past events of the archaic era, attracting everyone's attention.
Among the creatures of the archaic era, only those who had reached the extreme realm could take on a human form. This form represented invincibility and was the typical characteristic of kings. All kinds of creatures would bow down and worship them whenever they encountered them.
However, the inexplicable appearance of the Human Race broke this norm. They were born like this, and this shocked all the races.
At first, the other races were all terrified after seeing so many humanoid creatures. Later on, they found out that this race was incomparably weak and gradually felt relieved.
Some of the ancient races were furious, thinking that this was a humiliation to the archaic kings. They almost wiped out the entire human race.
However, not all the creatures of the archaic era were vicious and evil. They could distinguish right from wrong. Some powerful races appeared to protect the human race, and only then did they continue to exist.
During the long years, the great earth naturally couldn't avoid countless battles. All kinds of creatures could be drawn into it, and the human race was no exception.
They were extremely rare and weak, but they had the space to grow. A supreme existence that could contend against the Nine Transformations Divine Silkworm had appeared, shocking all the races of the archaic era.
Only then did the human race have a place in the world. They were no longer the prey of other races.
"Can you be more specific? For example, what techniques do they have? How do they cultivate them? How did they appear?" Wu Zhongtian asked.
"Before the great calamity, I was too young and my knowledge was limited. I only knew some simple things." The monkey sighed.
He was from the archaic royal race, but because he was too young, his understanding of that era was extremely limited. When the great calamity arrived, he was mysteriously sealed and slept for millions of years.
"The origins of the human race are mysterious. They should have come from the outer realms …" The monkey spoke of some past events he knew.
"Their techniques are very primitive, but their power is extraordinary …"
The True Sun Secret Art could imitate the extreme yang of heaven and earth and create the innate world. It was extremely powerful and could be said to be extremely terrifying. It was an ancient holy art of the human race.
"As expected …" Li Heishui sighed.
He had obtained a black beast bone from the mountain range where the holy cliff was located. On it was recorded an incomplete technique of the True Sun Secret Art. At that time, they had even discussed it.
The True Sun Chant was one of the most ancient saint arts of the human race. Even the ancient emperors had studied it before and received inspiration from it. When they created the ancient scriptures, they needed to derive all kinds of arts and techniques.
The True Crescent Yin Incantation imitated the extreme Yin of heaven and earth. It was the opposite of the True Sun Incantation and could be said to be the most powerful of the extreme Yin. It was also a Holy Art of the primordial humans, and even now, it was considered an ancient scripture.
"The human race is extremely mysterious, their numbers extremely few. Who would have thought that after endless years, they would become so prosperous, suppressing all other races." The monkey sighed.
He really didn't know much about the Primeval Age. He didn't even know much about the bloodline of the Sacred Battle Apes. He only remembered that his father had died and his uncle had gone to the Western Desert.
Ye Fan and the others speculated that the great calamity of the Primordial Era was probably because the world had changed and was no longer suitable for living beings to live in. The path of cultivation had been severed, which was why there was a great extinction.
However, after hearing that, the monkey shook its head and said, "The ancient prophecy came true. Only then did the ancient races retreat …"
At that time, the monkey was still a child. It was impossible for him to come into contact with the highest secrets. He only knew bits and pieces. The reason why he could grow to where he was now was because he had awakened long ago in the strange stone of the 'immortal tomb'. He had cultivated for many years and only had such achievements now. Then, he was cut out by Ye Fan.
When the primordial royalty cultivated to the extreme realm and took human form, they would be honored as emperors. This was the first time Ye Fan and the others had heard of it. In the past, they had always been referred to as the primordial kings.
Before the ancient emperors died, they were like gods. They could see through the past and the future and left behind some prophecies. Later on, all of them were confirmed to be true.
The monkey didn't say much about these. He didn't understand them and couldn't explain the truth of the great calamity of the Primordial Era.
Ye Fan and the others felt regretful. This was an ancient mystery. Even this living fossil couldn't understand it, so who else could know?
"Some of the primordial races were sealed, and some should have gone to the outer realm …" The monkey shook its head and didn't want to say anything more.
"Are there immortals or not?" Li Heishui suddenly asked. The few of them quieted down. They all wanted to know the answer.
"There should be. My father was an invincible emperor. It's a pity that when I was born, his lifespan dried up and he died not long after … "
When the monkey wasn't even three years old, his father, the sacred emperor who shook the primordial era, died. Other than the inheritance of his race, he didn't leave anything for him.
However, he remembered the words of the ancient emperor. In the most ancient era, there should have been immortals, but they couldn't be seen in the future.
The few of them were lost in thought. Even the monkey's father, an invincible emperor of the primordial era, said that it had to be traced back to the most ancient era …
What kind of period was that so-called 'most ancient era'? What had happened in the past? What kind of past events were there?
"Forbidden ancient land, Undying Mountain, Ruins of God, Ancient Origin Mine, Immortal Mausoleum, these places …" Ye Fan and the others mentioned the seven great forbidden zones.
"There weren't so many forbidden zones in the primordial era. There should be a few less …" The monkey said.
Forbidden ancient land and Undying Mountain had never been heard of in the primordial era. The monkey speculated that those should be terrifying forbidden zones that were formed later on, comparable to the danger zones of the past, or even surpassing them.
Ancient Origin Mine, that was the supreme holy land of the primordial races. In the ancient era that had passed away, only the unparalleled primordial emperors could enter.
The emperors of the primordial creatures were very difficult to form. Just like the great human emperors, there weren't many since ancient times.
The members of the great primordial royal races, once they succeeded, their strength would indeed be extremely powerful, but they would still be a bit weaker than emperors. It was incredibly difficult to become emperors.
"You don't know what's in Ancient Origin Mine?" Jiang Huairen was shocked.
"In the ancient era that had passed away, only a few ancient emperors and the masters of a few great royal races had entered." The monkey was regretful.
"The Battling Sacred Ape Race is most likely only left with you. You are the master of the Sacred Ape Race, so won't you be able to enter in the future?" Li Heishui asked.
"So many years have passed. According to what you guys said, it has already evolved into one of the seven great forbidden zones. If one doesn't become an emperor, he will definitely die if he enters." The monkey shook his head.
"He still has an uncle in the Western Desert!" The large black dog grinded his teeth, muttering.
"The Immortal Tomb is rumored to be the tomb of a few immortals. It is vast and boundless, not a single blade of grass growing, a land of blood stretching for tens of thousands of li. In the archaic era, it was a forbidden zone."
The emperors of the archaic era had previously said that this was a land where immortals were buried. They couldn't approach it, or else they would undoubtedly die. It was the most dangerous region under the heavens.
Now, after endless years passed, there was finally a bit of life force there. Quite a few exceptional spiritual medicines grew in the land of blood, but unfortunately, no one dared to pluck them.
It was because it was difficult for even the ancient sages to come out after entering and devour the lives of others.
"However, there were also emperors who said that what you hear is false, and what you see is true. If you haven't seen an immortal, then there are no immortals." The monkey added.
The emperors of the archaic era were extremely terrifying, unrivaled in the world. There weren't many who could contend against them. There were countless races, billions of creatures, but in the endless years, there were only a few individuals.
It was to the extent where there were even fewer than the great emperors of the human race. Their opinions weren't the same either, their understanding of immortals greatly different.
"The Ruins of God are rumored to have fallen from another world …"
The monkey's words shocked everyone. The history of the Ruins of God was extremely ancient, and it was impossible to trace it back. Even the most ancient emperors of the archaic races couldn't deduce its age.
"The Ruins of God are so ancient?" Even the large black dog sucked in a breath of cold air.
In the Ruins of God, there were indeed shocking historical remains like the Southern Heavenly Gate and the Heavenly Palace. They had stood for millions of years without dying, and were not something that could be preserved by humans.
"Could there really be a vast and mysterious Celestial Realm?" Ye Fan frowned.
In his eyes, the cultivators of this world were comparable to the Celestials of legends and myths. If there was another mysterious world, he really didn't know what kind of people there were.
However, he had always been suspicious, and didn't believe that Celestials really existed. The great emperors of ancient times were already at the limit of cultivation. Although he had seen nine dragons pulling a coffin, those were most likely flood dragons of the saint level, and not Celestial spirits.
"I've never heard of the Celestial Realm, but I've heard my old father mention the words' Celestial Realm '…" the monkey said slowly.
The monkey's old father had lived for a frighteningly long time. As an Ancient Emperor, his achievements were profound, and he could be said to be one of the most powerful beings in all of history.
His lifespan was reaching its end, and he had a son in his later years. On his deathbed, he had once talked about the Celestial Realm, saying that it most likely existed, but that was his regret, as he could not enter it while he was still alive.
"My little uncle said that my father was born at the wrong time, or else he would have had a sliver of a chance. Unfortunately, the heaven and earth underwent a great change, and he had no fate with the Celestial Realm, so he couldn't divine it."
The monkey's father could only sigh in the end, feeling incredibly lonely, because even in the end, he couldn't personally verify his own guess.
The Ancient Emperors believed that the Ruins of God didn't belong to this world, and that it should have fallen from a mysterious place. The opinions of these people were known by all races.
"The Southern Heavenly Gate and the Heavenly Palace have never been destroyed since ancient times. There are tens of thousands of streaks of golden light over there, and thousands of strands of auspicious aura spew out purple mist …" the large black dog muttered to himself, his eyes extremely deep.
"Is there really a Celestial Realm? That's not very possible …" Li Heishui and the others frowned.
"It fell from another world. Could there really be Celestials …" Wu Zhongtian muttered to himself. His grandfather was extremely knowledgeable, and had made many deductions in the past.
"Big Brother, what are Celestials?" Little Nan Nan tugged on the corner of Ye Fan's clothes, and asked innocently with an expression of hope.
Ye Fan patted her head, and said, "They are an illusory and intangible existence. Perhaps they have never appeared before, and even if they did, they wouldn't exist in this world."
"Oh." Little Nan Nan nodded, not really understanding.
"Undying Mountain … It sounds a little familiar, but this ancient mountain didn't exist in the Ancient Era." The monkey frowned, and talked about another forbidden land.
"Think carefully again. What kind of place was the Undying Mountain in the Ancient Era?" the large black dog asked.
Emperor Wu Shi and the Merciless Emperor had both entered the Undying Mountain, and they had left behind indelible marks under the ancient Comprehension Tea Tree. The large black dog wanted to know more.
"I really haven't heard of the Undying Mountain, but in the legends of the Ancient Era, there was an Undying Heavenly Emperor." The monkey pondered for a long time, and finally thought of such an almost illusory figure. However, he couldn't confirm whether he had ever existed or not.
"The Undying Heavenly Emperor … dares to use such a name!?" Even the large black dog was shocked.
"The first master of the Undying Divine Phoenix Medicine is said to be the Undying Heavenly Emperor. According to the legends, he has almost surpassed the Immortals, and many people don't believe that he has ever existed." The monkey shook his head.
