Gu Qingfeng didn't ask any more questions and just drank his wine.
He tried to connect the dots.
If Empress Wuyou really ruled over the Quicksand Secret Realm, then if Jun Xuanji, the crazy old man, and Ancient Wuming really tore through space and entered this place, what were they fighting for? What had descended upon this secret realm? Or was something born in this secret realm?
Did any of this have anything to do with him?
If so, what could it be?
What happened after he ignited the Hellfire of Original Sin in Wudao Xuwang Mountain?
Or did he not turn into ashes after igniting the Hellfire of Original Sin, but instead lost his self-awareness and became the incarnation of Original Sin?
But even if he really lost his self-awareness and became the incarnation of Original Sin, why did he come to this secret realm?
Thinking about how Empress Wuyou ruled over this secret realm, could it be that she dragged him here?
Then, she joined forces with Jun Xuanji, Ancient Wuming, and the others to kill him.
If that was the case, it would explain why he was reborn in this secret realm.
Could it be?
That was unlikely.
Gu Qingfeng thought that if he really lost his self-awareness and became the incarnation of Original Sin, it wouldn't be just Ancient Wuming, Jun Xuanji, and the others who came after him. The Three Thousand Great Dao would definitely follow him. They wouldn't be able to hide this matter even if they wanted to.
Moreover, after killing him, this group of people would definitely not leave. Even if Jun Xuanji left, the Three Thousand Great Dao wouldn't. Even if the Three Thousand Great Dao left, Ancient Wuming definitely wouldn't. They all knew that he had comprehended the Great Nirvana and would definitely seal this secret realm to prevent him from being reborn. They wouldn't allow the Quicksand Secret Realm to open freely in the vast wilderness.
Another thing was that Gu Qingfeng had seen Bai Chou when he entered the Illusory Land. Bai Chou had said that he had been annihilated back then, and no one knew if he could be reborn back then.
Although Gu Qingfeng didn't know Bai Chou for long, he could tell that Bai Chou wouldn't lie to him. After all, they were both fused with the blood of Original Sin, and it belonged to Supreme Wuming. They were on the same boat, so there was no need for him to lie to him.
It's not important.
More importantly, when the Blood of Original Sin gradually fused with him, Gu Qingfeng also gained a deeper understanding of the Blood of Original Sin. Otherwise, he would not have been able to ignite the Karmic Fire of Original Sin. It was precisely because of his understanding of Original Sin that he knew very well that once the Karmic Fire of Original Sin was ignited, nature and Original Sin would definitely be annihilated. Moreover, he himself did not know if he could be reborn from the ashes, let alone others.
This point.
Gu Qingfeng was still confident.
But if he had not become the incarnation of the Original Sin back then, what was it that had descended upon this mystic realm, causing Jun Xuanji and Nameless Immemorial to tear through space to fight for it?
Could it be related to Empress Wu You?
If it really had something to do with her, then what was it?
Wasn't that woman sealed in the Savage Sun Valley? Why was he suddenly dominating the Quicksand Secret Realm?
Also, if he hadn't become the incarnation of Original Sin back then, why would he have been reborn in the Quicksand Secret Realm that Empress You You controlled?
What the hell is going on?!
Gu Qingfeng shook his head.
The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. After finishing a jar of wine, he sighed and said, "Old Gu, you've cultivated in this Quicksand Secret Realm for tens of thousands of years. Have you never seen Empress Wu You even once?"
"No."
"Then how did you know that Empress Wu You controlled the natural source of this place?"
"I heard some seniors here mention it."
"Seniors? You mean this place? Are they demons like you? "
"There are demons, demons, immortals, shamans, and some others. This humble one doesn't know what kind of existence they are."
"That's a rare occurrence. There's nothing in this lousy place, so why are there so many experts living in seclusion here? Although the turbid air here is still alright and is suitable for demons and ghosts to cultivate, it's only suitable. Without the essence of the moon, it's unlikely that they'll be able to achieve anything by absorbing the turbid air here. Furthermore, why are there immortals and shamans? What are they doing here? "
"This … This humble one isn't too sure. These seniors have been living in seclusion here for a long, long time. As for how long, this humble one doesn't know either."
"Is that so …"
Gu Qingfeng rubbed his chin in thought, then asked, "Has this secret realm always been like this?"
"Tens of thousands of years ago, when this humble one first entered this small secret realm, it was already like this. However, I heard that in ancient times, this place was still one of the smaller worlds in the Myriad Worlds. At that time, the spiritual energy here was still very dense, and the natural environment was very good. Later, when the ancient times came to an end, this place was affected. The spiritual energy here became turbid, and the natural environment gradually deteriorated. The space here became very unstable, and it often disappeared in the great wilderness."
Gu Qingfeng pondered over the secret realm's secrets, and it was very likely that they were related to the Daoless Era.
Otherwise, those demons, immortals, and shamans wouldn't have lived in seclusion in this godforsaken place.
Empress Wu You couldn't have ruled over such a lousy place.
But he didn't know if Empress Wu You was still here.
Gu Qingfeng really didn't know the answer to this question.
In his current weakened state, he couldn't send out his consciousness to investigate the entire Quicksand Secret Realm.
He wanted to ask more, but unfortunately, he could tell that this old monster Gu Tong only knew this much.
"Where are the seniors you mentioned living in seclusion?"
"Esteemed Master, this humble one is just a little monster." Gu Tong wanted to cry, but no tears came out. "How could I know where those seniors are living in seclusion? They come and go without a trace, and each one of them is like a dragon whose head can be seen. This humble one really doesn't know."
"Heh heh …"
Gu Qingfeng smiled but didn't say anything. He just looked at Gu Tong and drank his wine.
Being stared at by Gu Qingfeng like this made Gu Tong's heart uneasy. His old face changed again and again, looking like he was in a difficult position. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when he looked up and saw Gu Qingfeng's dark eyes, he swallowed his words back down.
Gu Qingfeng got up and poured him a cup of wine, scaring Gu Tong so much that he quickly stood up. Gu Qingfeng patted his shoulder and motioned for him to sit down. He comforted, "Don't worry, I just want to inquire about some things. I don't have any other intentions, and I won't pick a fight with anyone. Besides, you just said that those seniors are experts. Even if I wanted to fight, I wouldn't be able to win."
"Esteemed Master, this humble one didn't mean that, but …"
Halfway through his words, Gu Tong sighed, "Alright, if Esteemed Master wishes to see those seniors, this humble one is willing to take you there."
