Suddenly.
Old Taoist Plum Blossom got up and knelt in front of Gu Qingfeng.
Gu Qingfeng was taken aback, and asked in confusion, "Old Senior, what do you mean?"
"This old man begs the Ancestor to persuade the Empress, this time she must merge with her life soul."
"Old Senior, please get up first."
"I beg the Ancestor to persuade the Empress!"
Gu Qingfeng said helplessly, "You think too highly of me. I can't persuade Jun Xuanji, and she won't listen to me. What's more, she has always wanted to kill me and end everything. How can I persuade her?"
"No matter what, please give it a try."
"There's no harm in me trying, but the point is, I don't know where Jun Xuanji is. I haven't seen her for a long time."
"The Empress is in the Ancestor Realm."
Gu Qingfeng didn't understand and asked, "Since Jun Xuanji is in the Ancestor Realm, then why do you want me to persuade her?"
"Although the Empress is in the Ancestor Realm, she is sleeping. She doesn't want to merge with her life soul."
"I don't understand. If she doesn't want to merge with her life soul, why did she return to the Ancestor Realm? Just to sleep? "
"The Ancestor doesn't know, but after you ignited the Original Sin Hellfire at Mount Wudao, the Empress decided to turn to ashes in the Original Sin Hellfire. In the end, the Ancestor Realm's life soul forcefully summoned the Empress back. For ten thousand years, the Empress has been sleeping in the Ancestor Realm."
Hearing this, Gu Qingfeng more or less understood, and said, "In other words, Jun Xuanji doesn't know that she is in the Ancestor Realm?"
"Ever since the Empress buried her life soul in the Ancestor Realm, her life soul would summon the Empress' spirit every thousand years. It was not easy to wait for the Empress to reincarnate. Unfortunately, the Empress didn't seem to want to come back and merge with her life soul, and had always refused to come back. If the Empress hadn't decided to turn to ashes in the Original Sin Hellfire, I'm afraid the life soul would still be unable to find the Empress' spirit."
"I see." Gu Qingfeng asked, "When will Jun Xuanji wake up?"
"The Divine Sense of the Empress has been in a deep slumber for ten thousand years under the nourishment of her natal soul. When the Ancestor Realm opens this time, she will awaken."
"Alright, if I can see Jun Xuanji, I will definitely persuade her. But I can't guarantee that she will listen to me."
"This old man thanks Your Majesty for your kindness!"
"It's just a small matter, not worth mentioning. Get up."
After Daoist Plum Blossom stood up, he took out a jade pendant and handed it to Gu Qingfeng. The jade pendant was about the size of a palm and was crystalline. Its surface shimmered with light, as though the Great Dao runes were flowing on it. It also contained a special kind of power.
Gu Qingfeng did not examine it carefully and asked, "What is this thing you gave me?"
"This is the order of the Ancestor Realm."
"What? Ancestor Realm Token? "Gu Qingfeng was extremely surprised, and asked:" Why are you giving this thing to me all of a sudden? "
"I hope that the Ancestor will hand the Ancestor Realm Token over to the Empress."
"Why don't you give it to her yourself?"
Daoist Plum Blossom shook his head and drank the wine in his cup. "All along, there have been many existences in this world that want to kill the Empress. Now that the Empress has awakened, she must be extremely weak. This old man is worried that some people will take this opportunity to kill the Empress."
"Who? The 3,000 Great Daos? Or those blessed grotto-heavens? "
"Those people who want to kill the Empress are much more terrifying than the 3,000 Great Daos and the blessed grotto-heavens …"
More terrifying than the 3,000 Great Daos and the blessed grotto-heavens? Gu Qingfeng asked curiously, "Those people from the Ultimate?"
"Not just the Ultimate."
"Forgive me for being ignorant, but other than the Ultimate, who else can be more terrifying than the 3,000 Great Daos and the blessed grotto-heavens?"
"In the Modern Era, all things have recovered. Too many ancient existences have recovered along with the recovery of the Modern Era … For example, those ancient forbidden lands, ancient sacred grounds, ancient clansmen, and so on."
"I have heard of the ancient sacred grounds and forbidden lands recovering. As for the ancient clansmen … what do they refer to?" Gu Qingfeng's heart stirred, and he asked: "Are you talking about the Hasa clan? And the Kasyapa clan? The Maha clan? "
Plum Blossom nodded solemnly.
"How much do you know about these ancient clansmen, old senior?"
"Not much. I only know that these ancient clansmen are very frightening. They are the true masters behind the 3,000 Great Daos."
"These ancient existences have all recovered in the Modern Era," Gu Qingfeng sighed with a smile, "It looks like something big is about to happen in the Modern Era."
"I have something to say, but I'm not sure if I should."
"You're too kind, old senior. Feel free to speak your mind."
"Whether it's the ancient forbidden lands, the ancient sacred grounds, or the ancient clansmen, these ancient existences have all recovered in the Modern Era for one thing."
"For the original sin?"
"No," Plum Blossom said, "for the Daoless Era."
After a pause, Plum Blossom continued, "There are far too many secrets hidden in the Daoless Era. The original sin is only a key to unlocking the Daoless Era."
"The original sin is a key to unlocking the Daoless Era?"
This was the first time Gu Qingfeng had heard of this, and he found it rather odd.
"I didn't say this, but Her Majesty did."
"If Jun Xuanji said this, then it's most likely true. Moreover, according to the Book of Destiny, when the original sin finds its true master, the Great Dao will fall, and the Modern Era will come to an end. Heaven and earth will be reborn, and the Daoless Era will begin … Come to think of it, the original sin is just a key to unlocking the Daoless Era."
Plum Blossom nodded. "Some of these ancient existences want to unlock the secrets of the Daoless Era, while others want to keep them hidden forever."
"Why?"
Plum Blossom shook his head.
"Who wants to unlock the secrets of the Daoless Era, and who wants to keep them hidden?
"Across the universe, all those who pursue the Great Dao want to unlock the secrets of the Daoless Era. Legend has it that the Daoless Era hides the true meaning of the Great Dao, as well as the mystery of becoming a god. There are many such people, from the three thousand Great Daos, the blessed lands, the Returning Ruins, and the various sacred grounds and forbidden lands …"
After a pause, Plum Blossom continued, "As for those who want to hide the secrets of the Daoless Era … I'm afraid most of them are the ancient clansmen of the Daoless Era."
"Why do those ancient clansmen want to hide the secrets of the Daoless Era?"
"I don't know." Plum Blossom poured another cup of wine for Gu Qingfeng. "They want to kill Her Majesty because she knows the secrets of the Daoless Era. That's why they want to kill Her Majesty, and it's the same for Di Zun."
"I don't know the secrets of the Daoless Era."
"Di Zun might not know the secrets of the Daoless Era now, but you're a person of the original sin, and you possess the false self. You're deeply entrenched in the original sin, and you might even become its true master. In other words, Di Zun might become the key to unlocking the Daoless Era in the future. Therefore, those ancient clansmen won't let Di Zun go."
