"The realm he had reached was the highest realm in the world!
"However, when he left the Central Plains and headed north to the northern border, Ishinishidu encountered a person, a Han! The moment Ishinishidu saw him, he sensed that this person was extremely powerful, much stronger than any opponent he had encountered before! Ishinishidu chased him for ten days and ten nights, all the way from the northeast to the northwest. Only when he got close to the Western Regions did he force him to fight. "
Wang Chong's eyes widened at Bagushidu's mention of the 'northwest', as if he had sensed something. Bagushidu hadn't given a detailed explanation, but Wang Chong could already guess at some of the details.
"… The moment the two clashed, Ishinishidu realized that this person was using a martial art that was completely different from the martial arts of the Turks, the Central Plains, the Ouzan, or the Arabs that he knew of. Let alone seeing it, he had never even heard of it. Moreover, this person's Stellar Energy was extremely Yang and unyielding. Not only was it powerful, it could even refine his opponent's attacks.
"Ishinishidu's cultivation has already reached a transformative level, and his Stellar Energy has become extremely dense. But when he attacked, seventy to eighty percent of his Stellar Energy was dissipated by him, and he even used it against him. After all, Ishinishidu had already reached the Subtle realm of Dark Radiant Heaven. If he hadn't reached this level, he would have been even less of a match. But even so, it's already a huge shock to him. "
"Ishinishidu is knowledgeable and knowledgeable. He has read countless books on the martial path, but none of them mentioned anything related to this technique. The more Ishinishidu fought, the more alarmed he became. He knew that he had probably encountered a true hidden expert of the Central Plains.
"That person had an endless array of martial arts, none of which Ishinishidu had ever seen before. The two exchanged more than one thousand blows, but not only did Ishinishidu fail to win, he even ended up on the back foot. Such a thing had never happened before. In the end, the mysterious man took the initiative to stop fighting, saying that he did not like to kill, had no interest in fame and fortune, and did not want to fight to the death with anyone. He hoped that everyone would stop when the time was right. Ishinishidu sincerely admired that person's character, and the mysterious expert also felt sympathetic towards Ishinishidu because of his great strength. The two of them didn't get to know each other without fighting, and they actually became close friends because of this. "
"But then something happened. That person seemed to have misunderstood Ishinishidu, and the two of them fought and became enemies. Ishinishidu felt very pained and regretful about this matter. However, the other party's misunderstanding of Ishinishidu was so deep that he didn't listen to Ishinishidu's explanation and directly jumped into a cave. Ishinishidu had no choice but to jump down with him and chase after him … "
A hint of regret appeared in Bagushidu's eyes, as if he was regretting the falling out between friends. But before Bagushidu could finish, Wang Chong interrupted him.
"Hmph, if my guess is right, that mysterious person you speak of is the Origin Immortal Lord's sixth-generation disciple!"
Wang Chong had exposed the mystery with a single sentence. He had chased Ishinishidu from the northeast to the northwest, neutralized his opponent's energy, and had also revealed that Ishinishidu had died on the stone bridge leading to the core of the Origin Immortal Treasury. One didn't even need to think to realize that this mysterious person was the Origin Immortal Lord's sixth-generation disciple, the sixth-generation successor who had killed the Four Ends Martial Lord with a single palm strike.
Ishinishidu's invasion of the Central Plains had caused such a huge uproar that not even Wang Chong had imagined that he would encounter the sixth-generation successor of the Origin Immortal Lord on his way home. It was no wonder that so many experts of the Central Plains had failed to find him, or even find any information about him.
How many people could even come into contact with the state teacher of the Eastern Turks?
But to Wang Chong, there was something else that he despised the most …
"The people of the Origin Immortal Palace are ignorant of the ways of the world and have never had much interaction with the martial arts world of the Central Plains. And based on what you said, given Ishinishidu's personality, since he knew of the existence of the Origin Immortal Art, he would have sought guidance and discussion with the successor of the Origin Immortal Art. Martial arts are never taught to outsiders, and the Origin Immortal Art is one of the supreme arts of the Central Plains, ranked first among the Ten Great Arts. Ishinishidu wanted to directly ask for it, but there was no such reason. Since Ishinishidu couldn't obtain it, he would have to think of another way.
"If my guess is correct, Ishinishidu took advantage of the moment the sixth-generation successor of the Origin Immortal Art was off guard to ambush him. This is the only way to explain why the sixth-generation successor died here two hundred years ago. Bagushidu, your skin is truly thick. You're able to speak of such a shameless matter in such an open and aboveboard manner. What 'mutual appreciation' and 'falling out because of a misunderstanding'? I truly admire you! "
Wang Chong's words were brimming with derision as he laid bare the truth.
If it was just a small misunderstanding, then everything in the world could be categorized as a misunderstanding if one forsook one's morals and pursued one's enemies all the way to the Origin Immortal Palace sixteen thousand meters beneath the ground.
"Heh, this is a matter from several hundred years ago. Whether it's good or bad, isn't it up to future generations to judge? Is there any need to take some things so seriously?"
Bagushidu was not angered by Wang Chong's revelation. He only faintly smiled and brushed the matter aside.
"In short, the patriarch of our Earth Sect followed us here, but alas, the sixth-generation successor of the Origin Immortal Art was too shrewd. He used all sorts of traps to deal with Ishinishidu, but in the end, Ishinishidu neutralized all of them. This was also Ishinishidu's first time seeing so many unknown secrets deep underground, and it was an eye-opener for him. Thus, he was in no rush to explain himself.
"On the way here, Ishinishidu dealt with every move that came his way, and the sixth-generation successor of the Origin Immortal Art had no effect on him. Unexpectedly, the sixth-generation successor of the Origin Immortal Art became suspicious and led him to the core of the Origin Immortal Treasury, where he used an extremely powerful weapon to kill Ishinishidu on the stone bridge. The most outstanding state teacher of our Turkic Khaganate from two hundred years ago ended up slumbering underground, a truly regrettable death.
"More importantly, with Ishinishidu's death, the influence of the Earth Sect and the entire Sun Holy Mountain was greatly weakened. From then on, there was no more state preceptor for the next two hundred years. Later on, the Eastern and Western Khans removed the title of state teacher. Our Earth Sect was unable to recover from this setback and declined to this point. "
Bagushidu couldn't help but sigh dejectedly.
He had personally experienced the decline of the Earth Sect. Furthermore, as the current sectmaster of the Earth Sect, he was far more shocked than anyone else when he spoke of such matters.
Wang Chong was indifferent. It was rare for Bagushidu to reveal his true feelings in front of a Han. Wang Chong could sense that Bagushidu was speaking from the bottom of his heart. Even as an enemy, Wang Chong had to admit that this Earth Sect Master of the Eastern Turks was completely different from any opponent he had ever faced.
There was a grace and bearing about him that no one else had.
"Hmph! In the end, all of this is just your imagination. You didn't see it with your own eyes, and all these stories are based on conjectures and reasonable conjectures. There's no concrete evidence, so they naturally can't be taken as true! "
Wang Chong suddenly said.
"Haha, how do you know that I didn't see it with my own eyes?"
Bagushidu suddenly turned his head and gave Wang Chong a deep glance, his lips curling into a smirk.
Wang Chong's heart thumped, and he was momentarily speechless.
The story of the Eastern Turks' state teacher Ishinishidu and the sixth-generation successor of the Origin Immortal Art had taken place more than two hundred years ago, and no one could have seen it with their own eyes. But Bagushidu's expression …
It made Wang Chong's hair stand on end, and it didn't seem like he was just saying it. But how could such a thing be possible?
On the other side, Bagushidu turned his head back to the thick fog and began to speak, no longer paying attention to Wang Chong.
"Ishinishidu was heavily injured and knew that he didn't have long to live. But he had spent his entire life practicing martial arts and was deeply obsessed with it. How could he be willing to pay such a heavy price, even losing his life here? Moreover, the more he fought with the sixth-generation successor of the Origin Immortal Art, the more he realized just how broad and profound this art was.
"As such, before he died, he gathered all of his power and used the supreme secret technique of our Earth Sect to seal all of his experiences and half of his power into the three Earthen Blood Cauldrons. Then, he passed through the layers of rocks and delivered them to the two servants who had been following him all this time …"
Bagushidu slowly recounted the history of the Earth Sect. But toward the end, Bagushidu said nothing more. There were some things that needed to be said here, and there was no need to add more.
When Bagushidu had passed through so many dangers and arrived at the core of the Origin Immortal Treasury, stood on the stone bridge, and witnessed with his own eyes the corpse of the state teacher of the Turks, Ishinishidu, accomplishing what none of the Earth Sect Masters had been able to do in the last two hundred years, Bagushidu seemed to be in urgent need of an audience to 'share' his story.
And Wang Chong, the King of Foreign Lands of the Tang Dynasty, was the best audience.
After all, he was about to die.
Wang Chong said nothing, but his mind was in turmoil.
At this moment, he finally understood why Bagushidu had appeared here, why he had a treasure map, and why he had been able to use the Art of the Dark Heaven to foresee the traps and get to this place before anyone else.
The events from two hundred years ago had been reincarnated, and in the end, they had returned to this place.
