Yi Yun was by Lin Xintong's side, reading this amazing inheritance left behind by the ancient Great Empress with her.
It was not an exaggeration to say that it was the core of the entire Great Empress mystic realm.
This was the greatest treasure left behind by the ancient Great Empress in her life.
The first volume of the "Great Empress Heart Sutra" was the general outline of the entire cultivation technique.
The general outline described Yang first before Yin. When he saw the Yang-elemental laws' general outline, Yi Yun was stunned. It actually wrote:
"The Sun rises from Tang Valley, traversing the world, illuminating the world, magnificent, ten suns from Fusang, who controls pure Yang …"
Although this paragraph was obscure, it had a charm to it. Yi Yun was very familiar with it.
This was … the general outline of the "Tai Ah Sacred Technique"!
The "Tai Ah Sacred Technique" was the same as the general outline of the "Great Empress Heart Sutra"!?
Yi Yun's first reaction was that it was impossible. Although the "Tai Ah Sacred Technique" was an amazing inheritance, it was far inferior to the "Great Empress Heart Sutra". If the "Tai Ah Sacred Technique" was an amazing inheritance, then the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom would have long been destroyed by the Tian Yuan world's monsters.
Clearly, the "Tai Ah Sacred Technique" had not reached the stage where many factions in the Tian Yuan world coveted it. Then why?
"Yi Yun, I also realized … Although I have never cultivated the" Tai Ah Sacred Technique ", I have browsed through the core heritage of the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom when I was in the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom. It includes the" Tai Ah Sacred Technique "and the" Dragon Rib Tiger Bone Fist ". The" Tai Ah Sacred Technique "and the" Great Empress Heart Sutra "do have a very similar general outline!"
Years ago, when Su Jie brought Lin Xintong around the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom, Lin Xintong had even used the "Dragon Rib Tiger Bone Fist" to spar with Yi Yun. Lin Xintong's knowledge in martial arts made Yi Yun extremely impressed.
"Oh? The "Great Empress Heart Sutra" and the "Tai Ah Sacred Technique" only have the same opening 72 words! After that, it will be different. "
Although Yi Yun had only mastered the first few levels of the 'Tai Ah Sacred Technique', he had seen the complete 'Tai Ah Sacred Technique'. Now, with his eyes closed, the entire 'Tai Ah Sacred Technique' would appear in Yi Yun's mind.
The "Great Empress Heart Sutra" was much more profound than the "Tai Ah Sacred Technique".
"The 'Tai Ah Sacred Technique' only comes from the 'Great Empress Heart Sutra'. In terms of profoundness, it is far inferior … However, the two cultivation techniques are indeed related. It's no wonder that the 'Tai Ah Sacred Technique' could become the foundation of the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom. After millions of years of testing, it allowed the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom to flourish!"
The Tai Ah Divine Kingdom had existed for an excessively long period of time. It was content in the Backwater East, far away from the Tian Yuan world, and also far away from the conflicts. It had witnessed the rise and fall of numerous factions in the Tian Yuan world.
"What is the origin of the 'Tai Ah Sacred Technique'? Why is it in the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom?" Lin Xintong asked Yi Yun. Although only a tiny portion of the "Tai Ah Sacred Technique" came from the "Great Empress Heart Sutra", it still surprised Lin Xintong. There were so many large family clans and factions in the Tian Yuan world, yet there were not many families whose core cultivation techniques had something in common with the "Great Empress Heart Sutra".
"In the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom, the people say that the 'Tai Ah Sacred Technique' was created by the first Divine Emperor of the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom. Later generations of Divine Emperors constantly modified it, but from what I know, the 'Tai Ah Sacred Technique' was actually a remnant volume obtained by the first Divine Emperor from a mystic realm. He then used his own understanding of martial arts to create the 'Tai Ah Sacred Technique'."
What Yi Yun said was what he had heard from the Tai Ah Divine City.
"Mystic realms … What are the mystic realms near the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom?"
"From what I know, in the Divine wilderness north of the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom, there are two mystic realms. One is called the God Burial Abyss. This mystic realm is unlikely to be opened by Tai Ah Divine Kingdom warriors. The second mystic realm is located within the Tai Ah Divine City. It is called the Saber and Sword Tomb! "
"I have been to the Saber and Sword Tombs before. A long time ago, when the Tai Ah Divine City was established, the two tombs were emptied. The cultivation techniques, manuals and treasures within them were all gone. Only on the walls of the Saber and Sword Tombs, there are saber and sword marks carved by mighty figures. These marks are extremely intricate. They contain supreme sword and saber truths. Study them. "
"And according to my estimation, even a figure at the level of the Shen Tu Patriarch would not be able to carve them …"
When Yi Yun said this, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He said, "Right! A few years ago, the Desolate race's Empyreal King, the Shepherd Boy, had led a desolate beast army to approach the Tai Ah Divine City. He forced all the cultivators in the Tai Ah Divine City to evacuate. Finally, the Tai Ah Divine City was lost! And back then, when the Shepherd Boy's army arrived, the Tai Ah Divine City's City Lord had asked the Shepherd Boy why he wanted to destroy the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom. The Shepherd Boy's answer was … "
"It was because he wanted to do something … He did not want to destroy the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom, but unfortunately, the surrounding countries in the Divine Wilderness hindered him from doing so. Hence, he could only destroy them!"
Yi Yun's memory was very good. He repeated the Shepherd Boy's words without missing a word.
Lin Xintong's eyebrows pricked up when she heard this. When the Shepherd Boy invaded the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom, she was in reclusive training because of the Shen Tu family clan's forced marriage. Hence, she did not know what was happening in the Backwater East.
"To do something, he wanted to destroy billions of lives in the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom. What is it … Could it be … to find Jiang Xiaorou?"
Lin Xintong naturally knew that Yi Yun's sister came from the Desolate race's royal family.
Yi Yun shook his head, "No! It was just a coincidence that my sister, Jiang Xiaorou, was in the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom. The Shepherd Boy did not know about it in the beginning. Hence, what he wanted to do was not to find my sister, but something bigger. "
"The Shepherd Boy said back then: All things in the world nourish humans, but humans have no virtue to repay the Heavens. Humans receive the blessings of nature, but they will always consider their own selfish interests. Billions of humans have endless demands. In order to survive, humans are constantly slaughtering other living beings. And the number of people killed is a lot more than the number of humans themselves. "
"The Heavens and Earth are heartless, treating all things as straw dogs. In front of a higher Heavenly Dao, we humans are no different from pigs and dogs. We slaughter other living beings because we are strong. Other living beings slaughter us because they are stronger. Not only humans, even large worlds will collapse … Creation, Existence, Destruction, is originally the Heavenly Dao!"
Back then, when Yi Yun heard the Shepherd Boy's words, he thought that he was trying to justify his actions, so he did not think much of it.
But now, after carefully pondering over the words, he seemed to understand something extraordinary.
He remembered that before he came to save Lin Xintong, the God Advent Tower's Item Spirit had said, "There's no time".
To make the God Advent Tower's Item Spirit move, an enemy that could only be repelled by the ancient Great Empress' sealing powers.
A mysterious faction that was plotting against the God Advent Tower, and a swarthy youth that came from this mysterious faction, who had used unknown methods to sneak into the God Advent Tower …
Was there a connection between all of this?
Thinking back to the disk array images in the second level of the God Advent Tower, in ancient times, the unruly Azure Yang Lord had slain the black-armored warrior with one sword!
One sword to split the sea, two swords to split the sky, three swords to destroy the Sun and Moon. He was truly unparalleled and insufferably arrogant!
The Azure Rainbow pierced the Blood Moon, the Ice Soul Chill sealed the God Abyss …
Blood Moon …
Little Blood Moon …
Was the Blood Moon a symbol of disaster?
With all of this connected, it made Yi Yun feel like a storm was brewing …
However, he found it hard to guess what had happened in ancient times.
Furthermore, in ancient times, the martial arts heritage was clearly more powerful than it was now. In the era of the ancient Great Empress, the overall strength of warriors was clearly not on the same level as it was now.
Logically speaking, the more the martial arts civilization developed, the more progress it would make. But in fact, in the Tian Yuan world, martial arts were actually going backwards. Each generation was weaker than the previous one …
These layers of suspicion gave Yi Yun an ominous premonition. It was as if an invisible demonic hand was slowly reaching towards the Tian Yuan world!
"Miss Lin, I just remembered something. After the Shepherd Boy destroyed the Tai Ah Divine City, he did not lead the desolate beast army to flatten the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom. This must have been due to my sister's objection. However, there is one thing that can be confirmed. One of the Shepherd Boy's goals, which was also his main goal, had been achieved when he occupied the Tai Ah Divine City. This was because the Shepherd Boy's desolate beast army had stayed in the Tai Ah Divine City for a very long period of time. It was unknown what he was doing."
"Although the Tai Ah Divine City has many resources, a person at the level of the Shepherd Boy would not be interested in those things. Other than the saber and sword tombs, I can't think of anything else that he would be interested in."
"The strangest thing was that a few days after the Shepherd Boy occupied the Tai Ah Divine City, an extremely powerful purple beam suddenly shot out from the direction of the Tai Ah Divine City. Following that, purple clouds filled the sky! And in the Cloud Wilderness tens of millions of miles away, such a scene also appeared! Back then, I was saved by the Shepherd Boy and was trying to escape the Cloud Wilderness. I saw this scene with my own eyes. The purple clouds covered the sky … "
When Yi Yun said this, an idea flashed in Lin Xintong's mind!
"Purple Clouds' Birth … You are talking about the Purple Clouds' Birth? I have seen this scene before! "
The reason why Lin Xintong followed Su Jie to the Cloud Wilderness was because of the Purple Clouds' Birth! Su Jie believed that it was an opportunity. He might even be able to join up Lin Xintong's terminated meridians, so he brought Lin Xintong there day and night.
It was also because he went to the Cloud Wilderness that he met Yi Yun.
"That's right, it's the Purple Clouds' Birth! You should know that a few years ago, when you left the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom due to your engagement with Shen Tu Nantian, your master found a mystic realm in the Cloud Wilderness. Hence, he and his old friend Marquis Wenyun went to explore it. In the end, an accident happened in that mystic realm. As a result, Senior Su Jie was trapped in the mystic realm. Only when the Shepherd Boy occupied the Tai Ah Divine City and the Tai Ah Divine City's purple light shot into the sky, did Senior Su Jie escape the Purple Clouds' Birth in the Cloud Wilderness! "
"And because I was attracted by the Purple Clouds' Birth, I met Senior Su Jie. I followed him to the Tian Yuan world, and that was the second time we met!"
"Because of the Purple Clouds' Birth, Senior Su Jie brought you to the Cloud Wilderness and into the mystic realm, we met again. And because of the Purple Clouds' Birth, Senior Su Jie left the mystic realm and brought me out of the Cloud Wilderness, allowing us to meet again! All of this seemed to have its own destiny … "
When Yi Yun told her everything he had experienced in the past few years, Lin Xintong felt an inexplicable chill.
She had never succumbed to fate. Although she had Yin Meridians, it had never weakened her determination to fight against fate.
However, fate had implicated the ancient times, causing the Great Empress and Azure Yang Lord to be unable to resist it. And now, it had extended to the present, to Yi Yun and herself!
In ancient times, the Azure Yang Lord, who cultivated in pure Yang laws, and the ancient Great Empress, who had naturally terminated meridians, were in this study. Maybe they were also standing in front of this bookshelf.
And now, Yi Yun, who cultivated in pure Yang laws, and her, who also had naturally terminated meridians, were also standing here. This coincidence was like the invisible hands of fate, secretly arranging all of this …
Could it be … that she and Yi Yun would repeat the fate of ancient times?
What was their fate?
