"Little Guy Gu, where are we going?"
Following Gu Qingfeng running around like a headless fly, Mad Monk Daxing could not help but ask.
"Just strolling around."
Mad Monk Daxing was not surprised by Gu Qingfeng's casual answer. After all, Gu Qingfeng was lured in by him, and Gu Qingfeng's current attitude was still to let nature take its course. Naturally, he would take it one step at a time.
In fact.
Not only was Gu Qingfeng like this, Mad Monk Daxing was no exception.
He also did not know where to go or what to do.
Mad Monk Daxing's avatars were all over the Ancient Desolate Nine Palaces. Except for this avatar that had been following Gu Qingfeng, the other avatars were also wandering around the other nine palaces like headless flies.
Moreover.
He found that the existence that entered the Ancient Desolate Nine Palaces, whether it was in the sky or underground, whether it was protecting the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, or plotting against the True Lord of Original Sin, almost all of them were running around the Ancient Desolate Nine Palaces.
There was no other way.
The Ancient Desolate Nine Palaces were ever-changing and contained endless mysteries. Moreover, it was vast and boundless, with no end at all.
Although everyone had a premonition that the Ancient Desolate Nine Palaces would never appear for no reason, nor would it contain a strong aura of original sin for no reason. It must be pregnant with something related to original sin, and perhaps it was pregnant with the opportunity to determine the True Lord of Original Sin.
The key was.
When would it be pregnant with the True Lord of Original Sin?
Where would the True Lord of Original Sin be born?
Who knew?
No one knew.
In this way.
The existence that plotted against the True Lord of Original Sin did not know how to seize the opportunity.
And the existence that protected the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth did not know how to protect it.
They could only wander around the Ancient Desolate Nine Palaces aimlessly like headless flies, trying to find the so-called True Lord of Original Sin.
Some people said that the origin of the Ancient Desolate Nine Palaces was pregnant with the True Blood of Original Sin. As long as one could snatch the True Blood of Original Sin and integrate it into one's body, one could become the Son of Original Sin. Only by becoming the Son of Original Sin would one be qualified to seek the True Lord of Original Sin.
This matter spread like wildfire. Whether it was true or not, no one knew. In any case, the rumors were quite bizarre.
Some people said that this was true. They said that someone had seen the Light of Original Sin in the ruins of the Desolate Nine Palaces. They even found the Flower of Original Sin and Essence of Original Sin.
The Light of Original Sin, the Flower of Original Sin, and the Essence of Original Sin represented extraordinary significance.
This was because these existences did not belong to the Primordial Era at all. They belonged to the Daoless Era.
Yes!
The Daoless Age.
According to rumors.
Back then, when the Daoless Era opened in the Desolate Era, the world seemed to have been reborn. It was pure, flawless, and untainted by even a speck of dust. It was just like the Buddhist Sect's Pure Land.
Everywhere was filled with a magical brilliance.
The light was also pure and flawless.
Under the illumination of the brilliance, mystical flowers bloomed one after another. The flowers were equally pure and flawless.
Fairies that were as colorful as butterflies fluttered among the flowers. Those fairies were pure and flawless.
Someone said.
That mystical light was the Light of Original Sin.
That mystical flower was the Flower of Original Sins.
That mystical fairy was the Essence of Original Sins.
Perhaps because the Light of Original Sin, the Flower of Original Sin, and the Essence of Original Sins appeared the moment the Daoless Era opened, the Light of Original Sin was also called the Daoless Light, the Flower of Original Sin was also called the Daoless Flower, and the Essence of Original Sin was also called the Daoless Essence.
Unfortunately.
It was a pity that the Daoless Era only opened for a moment. The Great Dao Ancestors, Overlords, and experts of the Desolate Era did not have the time to appreciate the beauty of the Daoless Era. They also did not have the time to feel the wonders of the Daoless Era. Then, a calamity inexplicably occurred.
That calamity not only ended the Desolate Era, but also ended the Daoless Era.
As for why the calamity occurred the moment the Daoless Era opened, no one knew. It was still a mystery.
The only thing that was known was that the calamity was terrifying. It was so terrifying that those who had not experienced it could not imagine it. Even those who had experienced it could not describe it. They did not know what was going on.
For example, the Old Beggar and Lady Black Water had experienced the calamity that ended the Desolate Era.
But if they were asked to describe the calamity, neither of them could describe it. The calamity came too suddenly. There was no warning and no explanation. When the calamity arrived, no one could react. Then … there was no "then". When they reacted, they either turned to ashes or were suppressed in the Ultimate.
Thinking about it, even those who had experienced the calamity of the Desolate Era did not know the horror of the calamity, let alone someone like Mad Monk Daxing who had not experienced it.
Inside the Desolate Nine Palaces, there were many Desolate Era ruins floating.
Every one of these Desolate Era ruins was intact. Whether it was the flowers, the trees, the mountains, or the rivers, there was no damage. Even the corpses lying in the Desolate Era ruins were the same.
However.
Therefore, the Desolate Era ruins were like a scene in a painting, lifeless.
Mad Monk Daxing tried to imagine what the calamity that ended the Desolate Era looked like and how terrifying it was. However, he could not imagine what kind of calamity could cause the Desolate Era ruins to become lifeless.
It felt as if all living things in the world had their lives and souls taken away in an instant, leaving only empty shells.
Mad Monk Daxing did not know if it was true that someone had seen the Light of Original Sin, found the Flower of Original Sin, and found the Essence of Original Sin in the Desolate Nine Palaces.
He thought that if this was true, it wasn't impossible.
After all, this was the Desolate Nine Palaces. After all, the Daoless Era had opened in the Desolate Era.
Since there were many Desolate Era ruins floating in the Desolate Nine Palaces, it was not strange to see the legendary Light of Original Sin and the Flower of Original Sin in these ruins.
Since the Desolate Nine Palaces had appeared, it was better to believe it than not.
Those Great Dao masters who were plotting against the True Lord of Original Sin chose to believe it and searched everywhere in the Desolate Nine Palaces for the so-called Essence of Original Sin.
They could not find the Origin of the Desolate Nine Palaces, nor could they find the True Blood of Original Sin. As long as they could find the Essence of Original Sin, or a Flower of Original Sin, even if it was just a wisp of the Light of Original Sin.
This was also a kind of opportunity.
However, after entering the Desolate Nine Palaces, all the Great Dao masters who were plotting against the True Lord of Original Sin felt that their sins were not deep enough. They were afraid that they would not be able to obtain the True Blood of Original Sin and become the Son of Original Sin.
If they could find the Essence of Original Sin in the Desolate Nine Palaces and integrate it into their bodies, it would definitely deepen their sins. This way, when the time came to compete for the True Blood of Original Sin, they would have a higher chance of winning.
At this critical juncture, no one would hold back anymore. They would use whatever means they had and use whatever abilities they had.
Mad Monk Daxing knew that there must be many existences in the world plotting against the True Lord of Original Sin.
It was not until he entered the Desolate Nine Palaces and wandered around with his various avatars that he realized that there were many more Great Dao masters plotting against the True Lord of Original Sin.
He had always thought that there should not be many Great Dao masters in the world who had cultivated the Original Sin Dharmakaya. After entering the Desolate Nine Palaces, he realized that there were many more than he had imagined.
It felt like the Desolate Nine Palaces were filled with Original Sin Dharmakaya.
Among them, there were Innate Original Sin Dharmakaya that had been cultivated after integrating with the Original Sin step by step. There were also Acquired Original Sin Dharmakaya that had been forcefully possessed.
Some of these Original Sin Dharmakaya came from the 36 Grotto-Heavens and 72 Blessed Lands. In order to prevent the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth from failing, they had secretly cultivated them. It would be best if they could become the True Lord of Original Sin. Even if they could not, at least when the Daoless Era began, having an Original Sin Dharmakaya would give them a certain advantage. The Grotto-Heavens and Blessed Lands would not fall behind or even decline and be eliminated.
There were also Original Sin Dharmakaya that were either old fellows who had been wandering in the Wasteland or were suppressed in the Ultimate.
Most of the old fellows wandering in the Wasteland were plotting against the True Lord of Original Sin. Furthermore, the Original Sin on them was deeper than the last. They had waited for so many years for this day.
As for the old fellows suppressed in the Ultimate, there was no need to mention them. The reason they were suppressed in the Ultimate was because they were plotting against the True Lord of Original Sin. Furthermore, most of them had been plotting against the True Lord of Original Sin since the Desolate Era. After being suppressed in the Ultimate for so many years, now that they had come out, some of them might have pinned their hopes on Gu Qingfeng like Lady Blackwater and the old beggar. There were also some who felt that it was impossible for Gu Qingfeng to become the True Lord of Original Sin, so they pinned their hopes on others.
Almost all existences that had entered the Desolate Nine Palaces knew that Gu Qingfeng was the True Lord of Original Sin recorded in the Book of Destiny.
This was because everyone knew that regardless of whether it was those who protected the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth or those who were plotting against the True Lord of Original Sin, they all wanted to obliterate him.
In other words, Gu Qingfeng's existence was both the most promising and the least likely to become the True Lord of Original Sin.
Some people saw this clearly. They would rather place their hopes on the other original sinners than place all their hopes on Gu Qingfeng, who was either dead or alive.
After all.
Gu Qingfeng wasn't the only original sinner in the Modern Era. Gu Qingfeng wasn't the only variable.
At the very least.
Mad Monk Grand Walker knew a few.
For example, Buddhist Emperor Wondrous, Carefree Emperor Mo Wentian, Endless Devil Emperor Ren Tianxing, and the Martial Monarch and Celestial Dragon True Emperor. All of them were original sinners with deeper sins. Most importantly, they were variables in the Modern Era.
Though their variables weren't as great as Gu Qingfeng's, their sins weren't as deep as Gu Qingfeng's, and their signs weren't as obvious as Gu Qingfeng's.
But that was it.
This didn't mean that they didn't have any hope of becoming the True Lord of Original Sin.
Mad Monk Grand Walker knew that Buddhist Emperor Wondrous, Mo Wentian, Ren Tianxing, and Martial Monarch all had the support of many old geezers.
This was especially true for Buddhist Emperor Wondrous. The number of people who placed their hopes on him was no less than Gu Qingfeng. On the contrary, there were many more than Gu Qingfeng.
Outside of Buddhist Emperor Wondrous, there were many others who placed their hopes on the Martial Monarch and Celestial Dragon True Emperor.
