Zhang Xuan walked out of the sealed area and took out a firecracker.
The firecracker had already grown five roots, three bamboo poles, and lush green leaves. It exuded a pleasant fragrance.
Knowing that this fellow would continue to live on, Su Yin flicked his finger and tossed it into the River of Time.
Boom!
It was like a long pole in the middle of a river. As it grew, the river continued to grow longer and wider.
Previously, the Ancient Era had yet to be opened, and the future was only two thousand years. However, with the support of this firecracker, it felt as if the seal would be torn apart at any moment, allowing the Ancient Era and the future to connect.
"To think that it would have such an effect …"
Su Yin's eyes lit up.
He had been wondering whether he would be killed like the Great Beast King after two thousand years. However, with the growth of the firecracker, the problem was solved.
Of course, the growth would be slow, and it would take a very long time for the Ancient Era to be opened. Once it succeeded, the Era of Time of the Beast Court would no longer be able to suppress it.
"Su Yin, can you accompany me to look for the skeleton of the elite guards?"
Seeing that Zhang Xuan had successfully assimilated the firecracker, Gu Ling'er turned to look at him.
Her bloodline had been activated, and her appearance had become even more beautiful and alluring. Her figure, in particular, had become even more graceful and alluring. Her bright red lips were also extremely cold and elegant. Previously, she was considered one in ten thousand and was not inferior to Shangguan Wanqing, but now, she was clearly superior. Even Su Yin could not help but be stunned when he suddenly saw her.
She was too beautiful!
She was as graceful as a swimming dragon, and her smile was alluring.
Driving his zhenqi to suppress his loss of composure, Su Yin asked awkwardly, "Do you know where the skeleton of the elite guards is located?"
Seeing Zhang Xuan's reaction, Gu Ling'er's lips curled up into a smile.
From the moment they met, this fellow had been calm, unfazed by anything. Even when the entire Giant Demon Tribe was annihilated, he didn't seem to care at all. Yet, at this moment, he was actually stunned by her beauty. She couldn't help but feel a little proud of herself. "Of course I do. If I'm not mistaken, the bloodline in my body is that of the elite guards! I should be able to find it through my bloodline. "
Su Yin suddenly understood and asked curiously, "Are you a descendant of the elite guards?"
Gu Ling 'er pinched a lock of hair by her ear and said, "I should have inherited its bloodline. As for the specifics, I'm not sure. However, as long as I can refine the saint corpse, I should be able to find the answer!"
"Yes!"
Su Yin said no more.
Gu Ling'er took out a drop of blood and quickly found the right direction. The two of them tore the space apart and flew over.
Chaos Ancient Beasts possessed the strength of a ninth-rank Saint when they reached adulthood. Although the girl's bloodline was not as strong as Su Yin's, she was not far behind.
After a short while, they stopped in front of a tall mountain.
"According to the memories I have, the elite guards and the ancient beast Dijiang were killed here!"
Di Jiang and Jing Wei both had wings. They had the bodies of birds and were very fast.
Su Yin raised his head to take a look. The mountain before him was so tall that he could not tell how tall it was. It was right next to the blood moon in the sky. Even before he reached it, he could already feel a heavy pressure in his heart.
"If the Four Primordial Divine Beasts were as fearsome as the Iron-Eating Beast, the Dragon Emperor wouldn't have been able to defeat them even if he forged the Dragon God's Whip. How could he have possibly killed them? "
Standing before the mountain, Su Yin was not in a hurry to ascend it. Instead, he asked the question in his mind.
The Dragon God's Whip was stronger than the firecrackers, but it was not as powerful as the Beast Hall. Under normal circumstances, the Dragon Emperor's chances of victory against the Four Primordial Divine Beasts would not have been too high.
Of course, it was also possible that Crown Prince Xiao Shi was too weak to bring out the full strength of the Dragon God's Whip, which gave him the misconception that it was not too powerful.
Knowing what Zhang Xuan was thinking, Gu Ling'er explained, "An additional Dragon God's Whip won't have much of an impact on the battle, but … the most important thing isn't the forging of the Dragon Emperor's Whip but the sacrifice of more than a million members of the Dragon Tribe! If the lives of the Celestial World were to be treated as crops and were suddenly harvested by others, won't the heavens be enraged? "
Su Yin was taken aback. "You mean to say that the Dragon Emperor actually borrowed the power of the heavens of the Celestial World to defeat the Four Primordial Divine Beasts?"
If his crops were to be eaten by insects, he would surely be enraged. He would not rest until the other party was dead!
"Something like that!"
Gu Ling'er nodded. "I don't know much about the battle back then, but I can deduce that the Primordial Divine Beasts aren't lifeforms of the Celestial World, so they would be repelled and suppressed by the Celestial World. The Dragon God's Whip is probably a channel through which the repelling force can be channeled. With the suppression of the Celestial World, the Four Primordial Divine Beasts wouldn't be able to bring out their full strength, so it's no big deal that they were killed …"
Su Yin widened his eyes in realization.
In a battle between cultivators of the same cultivation realm, even the slightest bit of influence could result in death.
If the Dragon God's Whip could really connect with the Celestial World and draw in the power of the heavens, it would explain why the Dragon Emperor was able to kill the Four Primordial Divine Beasts.
Flying along the mountain range, Zhang Xuan saw a mountain peak that resembled Mount Buzhou. It towered into the clouds like a pillar.
"The Battlefield of the Finality is the space within the abdomen of the Primordial Divine Beast Pixiu. This mountain is the bridge that connects the abdomen of the Primordial Divine Beast Pixiu. In other words, the moon hangs above the mountain peak, not below. Back then, Dijiang and the elite guards knew that they were facing an unprecedented crisis, so they tried to escape. However, before they could leave, the Dragon Emperor caught up to them and killed them!"
Gu Ling'er said.
After activating her bloodline, she carried an elegant aura around her. Even though it was impossible for her to know everything that had happened in the Primordial Era, she still understood a lot.
From her words, Su Yin learned of the tragic situation back then. At the same time, a hint of doubt appeared in his heart. "I also assimilated the corpse of the Iron-Eating Divine Beast, so why don't I have any memories of it?"
If Gu Ling'er knew so much just by activating her bloodline, how could he not know anything after assimilating the corpse of a Primordial Divine Beast?
Gu Ling'er shook her head. "Back then, when the Dragon Emperor slew the Four Primordial Divine Beasts, in order to prevent them from coming back to life, he extracted their souls and memories. What you obtained was only the empty shells of the Primordial Divine Beasts. The reason why the Dragon Emperor made a move on you was that the resentful will of the Primordial Divine Beast was neither a Fragmented Soul nor a consciousness. "
It was only then that Su Yin came to a realization.
Even the 36 Ancient Sages were able to retain their wills through the Cenotaph. If their memories were not wiped clean, given the prowess of the Primordial Divine Beasts, they would be able to come back to life.
How could the Dragon Emperor, an existence who had wiped out the entire Primordial Era, allow such a thing to happen?
The mountain peak was very tall, but the two of them had reached the ninth rank. Ten breaths later, they saw the crimson moon hanging above the mountain peak. It was cold and enchanting.
Killing intent seeped out from the moon, as if there was a sea of blood on the surface of the moon.
Boom!
As soon as they landed on the mountain peak, they felt the ground shaking violently. On the surface of the moon, malevolent aura surged into the surroundings.
"Someone has arrived before us …"
Gu Ling'er frowned.
Needless to say, Su Yin had also sensed the presence of two powerful auras floating quietly on the surface of the moon. They were growing stronger and stronger, and it felt like they were on par with him!
"Cang Qiong and Xue Qianqiu!"
Su Yin's face turned livid.
Based on their auras, he could tell that they were none other than his old nemesis, Cang Qiong and Xue Qianqiu!
While he was assimilating the Ironeater Beast's corpse, these two fellows were actually lucky enough to find this place and assimilate the corpses of Dijiang and Jingwei simultaneously.
In the first place, Cang Qiong's strength was on par with his. Once he succeeded, it would be nigh impossible for him to kill him!
"Isn't it easy to suffer a backlash from assimilating the Primordial Divine Beasts? Why were they able to succeed? "
Su Yin was perplexed.
He had nearly been killed by the corpse of the Ironeater Beast. If not for the young lady activating her bloodline at the crucial moment, he really could not imagine what would have happened.
Gu Ling'er was also perplexed by the situation.
Su Yin knew that she would not be able to figure it out even if he were to ponder over it here. Thus, he reached out his hand and wrapped the young lady in it. At the same time, he shrunk his body and flew toward the source of the aura.
He arrived at a place close to the moon.
The highest point was right next to the moon. An ordinary person would be able to reach it with a single leap. The lowest point was only several dozen meters away, and the aura was coming from there.
Xue Qianqiu was sitting quietly beneath a corpse. Above his head was a massive Jingwei corpse. It spread its wings and tried to fly into the moon, but it was held in place by a powerful force.
Most likely, it was killed by the Dragon Emperor's overwhelming strength when it tried to enter the crimson moon.
The other corpse was lying flat on the ground. Cang Qiong was using his powers to refine it, causing streams of corrosive primordial spiritual energy to surge into its body, but it was unable to harm it at all.
As for the Yellow Springs, it did not seem to be in the vicinity.
"The two of them aren't afraid of the primordial spiritual energy …"
Su Yin's eyebrows shot up.
Regardless of whether they were assimilating it or getting close to it, the two corpses would release dense primordial spiritual energy. He knew how fearsome the primordial spiritual energy was. Cang Qiong had lived for tens of thousands of years, so it was understandable that he had a way to deal with it. But what about Xue Qianqiu?
That fellow was not that much older than him, and his cultivation of the Thousand Autumns Great Path had been stripped clean. So, how was he able to assimilate the Jingwei Ancient Beast without being affected at all?
"That Xue Qianqiu seems to have the bloodline of a Chaos Ancient Beast as well, but it's very thin.
Knowing Zhang Xuan's doubts, Gu Ling'er took a look at it for a moment before a deep frown appeared on her forehead. "As for Firmament, even though he doesn't possess a bloodline, he has a way to fend off the primordial spiritual energy …"
Su Yin widened his eyes in astonishment.
Eunuch Xue actually had the bloodline of a Chaos Ancient Beast?
It was no wonder he was able to cultivate so quickly. In just a few days, he had managed to advance from Quasi Saint to 9-star!
Just that … where did his bloodline come from?
"Could it be that … this fellow isn't Cang Qiong's illegitimate son, but a product of the blood essence of a Chaos Ancient Beast?"
A thought suddenly surfaced in Zhang Xuan's mind.
Throughout his battles with Cang Qiong, the latter's attitude toward Xue Qianqiu had clearly exceeded that of the other disciples. If it was because Xue Qianqiu was able to comprehend the Thousand Autumns Great Path and reach unimaginable heights, why would Cang Qiong still favor him so much?
Something was clearly amiss!
"We have to stop them as soon as possible. Otherwise, if we allow them to successfully assimilate the corpses, I fear that … we won't be a match for them anymore!" Gu Ling 'er said with narrowed eyes.
The two people in front of him had used some unknown method to refine the two corpses at the same time. With every breath they delayed, their cultivations would increase by a large amount. If he allowed them to continue like this, even if Su Yin's cultivation had greatly increased, he would still find it difficult to contend against them.
"Wait a moment. Cang Qiong and Yellow Springs have always been inseparable from one another, but they aren't here right now. Most likely, they are hiding in the surroundings, waiting for us to make a move. There's also the Dragon Emperor and Crown Prince Xiao Shi. Even if they aren't here, they shouldn't be too far away! "
Su Yin said with a wave of his hand.
It was not that he did not want to snatch the corpses from them, but the situation was not as simple as it seemed.
The duo's brazen act of assimilating the corpses of the Chaos Ancient Beasts could very well be a bait to lure them or the Dragon Emperor into making a move.
It was not that he was being overly cautious, but these old monsters who had lived for tens of thousands of years were more cunning than the other. He had no choice but to be careful!
Gu Ling 'er frowned. "What do we do then? If we wait here and do nothing, it won't be long before those two succeed! Even if we aren't able to form the Primal Chaos Saint Constitution, we won't be able to stand against them. "
"I know. Even if we don't dare to take the risk of launching a sneak attack on them, we can't allow them to achieve a breakthrough so easily.
Let's have some fun … "Su Yin said with a smile. The Heaven Origin World began to spread outward silently, and the area close to the duo suddenly shuddered.
Hu!
A piece of bamboo shot out from the Heaven Origin World and landed between the Dijiang and the Jingwei.
The firecracker had been nourished by the primal chaos spiritual energy and the River of Time, and it had already grown several segments. This bamboo was one of the segments, and it had leaves and thick roots.
"A firecracker?"
Upon seeing this, Cang Qiong and Xue Qianqiu glanced at one another with grim looks on their faces.
This was Su Yin's treasure. It had appeared out of nowhere, and it was clear that the other party was nearby!
Just that … why would he toss a piece of bamboo over if he did not appear?
Not only would it fail to harm them, it would even expose their whereabouts.
Unable to understand what was going on, Xue Qianqiu sent a telepathic message over and asked, "Teacher, what should we do?"
Cang Qiong replied grimly, "The Yellow Springs is hiding in the surroundings with our strength. If the other party dares to make a move, he'll surely suffer the sharpest of attacks. Let's continue assimilating the Ancient Beast Saint corpse. Don't let the other party disrupt our pace."
"Yes!" Xue Qianqiu nodded.
As long as they assimilated the Ancient Beast Saint corpse, they would become incredibly powerful. Even a mere Su Yin was not worth mentioning.
By then, they would have the strength to reclaim the River of Time!
Thus, they continued assimilating the Ancient Beast Saint corpse excitedly.
While the duo was conversing, the bamboo suddenly landed on the ground. Sensing the concentrated primal chaos spiritual energy in the surroundings, its roots immediately split into two and pierced toward the two sides.
Gugugugu!
The bamboo devoured the concentrated primal chaos spiritual energy, and bamboo leaves slowly extended from the ground. Immediately, the vitality in the air became even more concentrated as it fed back to the Ancient Beast Saint corpse.
Upon seeing this, how could Gu Ling 'er possibly not understand what was going on? She burst into laughter. "You intend to use the Ancient Beast Saint corpse to attack them?"
It was said that she was an eccentric person who did not care about principles or means, but this fellow was even more vicious than her.
Even though the souls and memories of the Ancient Beast Saint corpse had been wiped away by the Dragon Monarch, the grief and indignation that they had felt before their deaths had only grown stronger under the influence of the blood moon. As soon as they were touched by the vitality in the Ancient Beast Saint corpse, they would surely make a move against those who attempted to assimilate them!
Back then, Su Yin had been attacked in such a manner, nearly causing him to spurt blood.
