Xuan Ming's righteous tone made Li Mu angry. He asked, "In the past ten thousand years, you Diabolism have been stirring up storms in the continent to get the Tomes of Arcane and the secret of immortality. Hundreds of millions of innocent people have died in your hands. Who owes whom?"
Xuan Ming's face was still cold. She gritted her teeth and said, "The descendants of those people deserved to die!"
Li Mu looked at Xuan Ming who had a trace of madness on her face. After taking a deep breath, he gradually calmed down and asked, "Who are those people you are talking about?"
Xuan Ming sneered and said, "Those who call themselves the righteous sects. Your ancestors are a group of selfish, treacherous, and shameless people!"
Li Mu moved a chair and sat in front of Xuan Ming. He continued to ask, "What happened ten thousand years ago?"
Through the Tomes of Arcane, Li Mu could see part of the truth of what happened ten thousand years ago. However, it was just fragments. Xuan Ming and the others were the ones who had experienced what happened ten thousand years ago. They must know more than Li Mu.
Facing Li Mu's question, Xuan Ming closed her eyes. It seemed that she didn't want to talk more about what happened ten thousand years ago.
Li Mu looked at her and sneered. He said, "When it comes to treachery, who is more treacherous than you Diabolism? In the past, the strong warriors of the righteous and the Diabolism fought against the strange beasts together. Many ancestors sacrificed themselves in exchange for the stability of the Ten Continents. Look at what you have done in the past ten thousand years. Are you worthy of your ancestors?"
When the strange beasts still wreaked havoc in the Ten Continents, the righteous and the Diabolism had a common enemy. In order to fight against the strange beasts, the Diabolism had also made great sacrifices. Li Mu saw this from the Tomes of Arcane.
After Li Mu finished speaking, Xuan Ming seemed to be stimulated. He suddenly opened his eyes and said angrily, "Bullsh * t! In order to protect the people of the Ten Continents, ninety-nine percent of the one hundred thousand disciples of the Sage Sect died on the battlefield of the strange beasts. Many precursors of the Sage Sect did not hesitate to explode themselves and die together with the beasts. However, what did they get in return? Those people opened the Gate of Heaven, found the Taoyuan, destroyed the Road to Heaven, and enjoyed their immortality. They only left the strange beasts for us …"
Being stimulated by Li Mu, Xuan Ming revealed more information.
Li Mu knew that in the past, because the people of the demonic path were no match for the strange beasts, they could only self-detonate and perish together with them.
However, the "Heavenly Gate", "Paradise", and "Path to Heaven" that the Calculator of Xuan Ming mentioned were all unfamiliar terms to him.
Li Mu looked at Tian Jizi and found that he wasn't surprised.
Li Mu asked in a low voice, "You know about this?"
Tian Jizi nodded, then shook his head and said, "No one knows the truth of ten thousand years ago. This is only their guess. At that time, the Taoist Sect had not yet appeared. The ancestors of Xuanzong only found some clues through some ancient books."
Li Mu asked, "What clues?"
Tian Jizi was silent for a moment and said, "More than ten thousand years ago, the ancient cultivators were all looking for a place called the Taoyuan. It was said that in the Taoyuan, one could ignore the laws of heaven and earth. After cultivating to a certain level, one could obtain immortality. As long as they found the Gate of Heaven, they could find the Road to Heaven and enter the Taoyuan. At that time, the strange beasts were still wreaking havoc in the Ten Continents. As the most powerful sect in the Ten Continents, the Sage Sect led the ancient cultivators to fight against the strange beasts …"
Li Mu continued to ask, "What happened after that?"
Tian Jizi let out a long sigh and said, "Some of the ancient cultivators found the Gate of Heaven overseas and then disappeared completely, never to be seen again. The Six Sects of the Taoist Sect inherited the orthodoxy of their descendants …"
"The Gate of Heaven …"
Li Mu thought of the illusory door that appeared after the Tomes of Arcane were gathered. But at that time, the Tomes of Arcane should have been scattered in the Ten Continents and could not be gathered. The so-called "Gate of Heaven" should not be the door he saw.
Tian Jizi's words indirectly confirmed that Xuan Ming was not lying.
Combined with the picture that Li Mu saw from the Tomes of Arcane, he had sorted out the complete picture in his mind.
In the ancient times, the strange beasts and the human race coexisted in the Ten Continents. At that time, the Sage Sect was the most powerful sect in the Ten Continents with 100,000 disciples. Even now, there was no sect that could compare with it. The Sage Sect at that time was not the Demon Sect of today. Although their cultivation methods were strange, they did not kill people.
In order to exterminate the strange beasts, the Sage Sect paid a painful price. Those ancient cultivators found the Gate of Heaven, which should have been a good thing for everyone to embark on the path to immortality. But after they stepped into the Taoyuan, they destroyed the Path to Heaven, leaving the Sage Sect to fight against the strange beasts alone. In the end, all the experts of the Sage Sect fell in the war with the strange beasts, leaving only Xuan Ming and the others, who were the ancestors of the Devil Sect.
In the past 10,000 years, they held the hatred for the descendants of the ancient cultivators and stirred up conflicts on the continent. They made the Sage Sect, which originally belonged to the righteous camp, completely become the Demon Sect. On the one hand, they were seeking revenge. On the other hand, they were looking for the Tomes of Arcane, wanting to use the Tomes of Arcane to reopen the Gate of Heaven.
Li Mu still had one thing that he did not understand. He asked, "Why did they destroy the Path to Heaven?"
Xuan Ming's chest rose and fell. She gritted her teeth and said, "Because the Spiritual Qi is limited. It will become thinner with time. The more cultivators there are, the faster the Spiritual Qi will become thinner. It will become harder and harder for experts to appear. When the Spiritual Qi in the Ten Continents is exhausted, there will be no more cultivators. They don't want too many people to go to the Taoyuan, and they don't want people to compete with them for the Spiritual Qi in the Taoyuan …"
Li Mu was silent for a long time before he said, "This is not a reason for you to kill other innocent creatures."
Even if the ancient cultivators were wrong, in the past 10,000 years, the innocent people who died in their hands were not wrong. The ancestors of the Devil Sect had witnessed the destruction of their sect and the betrayal of their allies. Their hearts had long been occupied by hatred. Hatred made them act in an extreme way, and it also created the evil reputation of the Devil Sect for 10,000 years.
Li Mu did not ask Xuan Ming any more questions. He sent her back to the Teapot Space.
Tian Jizi clasped his hands behind his back and said slowly, "She is right about one thing. The Spiritual Qi is limited. One day, the Spiritual Qi in the Ten Continents will be exhausted. At that time, there will be no more cultivators, and the Demon Clan will not be able to gain intelligence. The Ten Continents will become a dead land …"
Li Mu murmured, "Just like the Teapot Space that has lost its master?"
After losing its master, the Spiritual Qi in the Teapot Space would slowly dissipate. Three thousand years after Emperor Bai's death, his Teapot Space became a dead land. After Li Mu obtained it, it reconnected with the outside world and began to regain its vitality.
Tian Jizi nodded. Then, he said self-deprecatingly, "Perhaps the Ten Continents is also someone else's Teapot Space, and we are just living creatures in the Teapot Space …"
This idea was a little too bold, but it was not impossible.
If the Teapot Space was big enough, the people living in it would not realize that they were in the Teapot Space. However, to be able to own such a big Teapot Space, his cultivation must have surpassed the Ninth Realm. He must have reached a level that Li Mu could not imagine.
There were too many secrets about the Ten Continents. Li Mu did not forget that there was an unbreakable layer of astral wind above them. In the Demon Clan's Heavenly Book, there was also a scene of a Ninth Realm Heavenly Demon banging his head against the sky.
Since ancient times, there must have been more than one person who had doubts about this. The living creatures of the various races had never stopped searching for the answer to this question.
Li Mu stretched out his hand. More than ten pages of Heavenly Books appeared in his palm. The illusory door appeared again.
At this time, the door was clearer than before. Tian Jizi stared at the door and asked, "Is this the Gate of Heaven?"
Li Mu shook his head and said, "I don't know …"
Before gathering all twenty-four pages of the Heavenly Book, no one knew what was behind this door. Would it be the legendary paradise that could allow one to break through the limit of one's lifespan and enjoy eternal life …
Li Mu suddenly thought of the Sky Pilfering Array.
Li Mu knew the principle of the Heavenly Secret Talisman very well. It extended one's lifespan for a short period of time by concealing the secrets of the heavens. However, the Sky Pilfering Array that could extend one's lifespan by sixty years was still a mystery.
At this moment, Li Mu suddenly had a guess.
Could the whirlpool above the array and the strange power that appeared from the whirlpool have come from the paradise?
