"When Shakyamuni was investigating the truth behind the disappearance of the Mythological Era, he explored countless relics. After exploring each relic, he would draw a detailed map of the relic's safety route and create countless treasure maps for the fated ones."
Demonic Nature told him everything he knew and explained patiently, "Without the guidance of the treasure maps, those who entered these ruins rashly would most likely die."
Ding Ning asked curiously, "There must be all kinds of treasures and opportunities in the ruins. Why didn't Shakyamuni take them away? Why did he make treasure maps for the future generations?"
Demonic Nature rolled his eyes, and a look of reverence appeared on his face. "Shakyamuni was a truly compassionate person. Although he was not a creature of the Three Realms, he had already regarded the Three Realms as his home after several reincarnations. The Mythological Era was erased, so he felt that there must be a great conspiracy behind it. So, not only did he not take any of the treasures in the ruins, but he also left behind many of his own treasures for the fated ones to obtain, so that the Martial Dao civilization would flourish and the glory of the Mythological Era would be restored. "
Ding Ning was speechless. The Buddha was the Buddha after all. He was a truly wise and compassionate person, which made Ding Ning respect him.
"The reason why I said that you might be tricked is because of these treasure maps. Shakyamuni gave the treasure maps to the Qimen Dunjia Sect and asked them to distribute them randomly for the fated ones to obtain. But …"
Demonic Nature sighed and said, "Most of the people in the Qimen Dunjia Sect are followers of Buddhism and Fuxi. These people are loyal to the two of them, so they will not go against their wishes. But they have overlooked one thing. Although these people are martial artists, they are not very strong. Although their lifespans are far longer than ordinary people, it is still extremely limited. The search for the Spatial Key is a top secret and cannot be easily leaked. For the sake of secrecy, the ones who inherit this mission are basically the descendants of the first generation of the Qimen Dunjia Sect, so …"
Before he could finish, Ding Ning suddenly understood and said, "Their descendants are not as loyal as their fathers, so they became greedy and coveted these treasures?"
"That's right."
Demonkind nodded approvingly. "Humans are greedy by nature. Such a good thing was not left for the Qi Men Dun Jia Sect, but for some fated person. Naturally, they would be dissatisfied. But Shakyamuni and Fuxi both had amazing abilities, so they did not dare to openly take it for themselves. So, they secretly made a copy of the treasure map and secretly tampered with most of the treasure maps, causing those who obtained the treasure maps to lose their lives in the ruins, so that the opportunities and treasures could not be obtained by outsiders. Instead, it was left for them, or even their descendants to quietly obtain."
Ding Ning showed a thoughtful expression and said with some confusion, "At least tens of thousands of years have passed. These treasures in the ruins should have been taken away by them long ago, right?"
"Otherwise, although these ruins are guided by the safe routes on the treasure maps, with Shakyamuni's strength, the absolutely safe routes in his view are still fatal for those who are not strong enough. What's more, with the passage of time, changes in the earth's crust, and natural disasters, some of these ruins have been buried deep in the ground, and some have had their entrances and exits changed. As a result, even if you have the real treasure map, you may not be able to find the entrance to the ruins. Even if you can enter the ruins, those safe routes may not be really safe. According to my estimation, at least 70% of these Secret Treasures have not been taken away. Otherwise, the Qimen Dunjia Sect would have been invincible in the world."
Demonic Nature shook his head in denial.
Ding Ning nodded in agreement, but his mind was filled with many thoughts, because he suddenly had a strange feeling.
He thought that Demonic Nature did not know that Chi You had once set up the Sky-Mending Formation. Those ruins did not only change because of natural disasters or changes in the earth's crust. It was very likely that when Chi You mended the heavens, some of the ruins appeared in those small worlds because of the changes in the laws of space.
According to Long Luo, there were countless ruins in the divine territory occupied by the Three Main Shrines. This seemed to be clear evidence.
The Three Main Shrines were actually the Three Ominous Sects of the Eight Strange Sects that had split from the Qimen Dunjia Sect. They occupied the small world of the divine territory, perhaps for the sake of those ruins.
If he made a bold guess, perhaps the reason the Qimen Dunjia Sect split into the Five Elements Dunjia Sect and the Eight Strange Sects was because of internal strife over the ownership of the ruins.
Of course, this was only his guess. There was no evidence to prove it. Perhaps, it was more likely that they had found one or more Space Keys and had a dispute over the ownership of the Space Keys, which eventually led to internal strife and division. This was not impossible.
Time was like a butcher's knife. With the passage of time and the changes of the times, coupled with the disappearance of Sakyamuni and Fuxi, the Qimen Dunjia Sect, whose lifelong mission was to find the Space Keys, had lost its allegiance. After a long time, the greed and desire in human nature had caused this originally extremely pure organization to gradually begin to deteriorate, slowly giving birth to other thoughts and ambitions. This was a completely predictable outcome.
After all, if you don't look out for yourself, heaven and earth will destroy you. The relatively simple Demon Race still took the continuation of their race as their lifelong mission, let alone the more complicated human beings.
But these had little to do with him. Although he was very interested in the Eight Space Doors and the Space Keys, he did not have much expectations.
Although he was never a person who belittled himself, he would never be arrogant and think that he was a blessed person. The Qimen Dunjia Sect had been looking for something for thousands of years but had not been able to collect it. Could it be that the Space Keys would obediently appear in front of him when he shook his body and exuded a domineering aura?
What he cared more about was what Demonic Nature said about being schemed against. Although this bastard spoke a lot more freely, it was obvious that his logical thinking was very problematic. After talking for a long time, he still did not get to the point.
Fortunately, Demonic Nature was not as stupid as he thought. Everything he had said before was to pave the way, and soon he gave him the answer.
According to Demonic Nature's statement, it seemed that some people with ulterior motives used the treasure map to lure powerful martial artists to explore some relics that had changed a lot to pave the way for them. Many people were deceived and killed, which benefited those who secretly manipulated all this.
Ding Ning was very surprised. "The ancient temple should have been isolated from the world in ancient times. How could it know this?"
"This is not the memory of the ancient temple, but the dual memory from the Demon Emperor and the Monster Emperor."
Demonic Nature replied with a serious expression, which made Ding Ning want to roll his eyes. The memory of the Demon Emperor and the Monster Emperor? That should be something that happened in the dark years of ancient times. It had been at least five thousand years since that era. What kind of conspiracy was there?
However, Demonic Nature combined the memory of the Demon Emperor and the Monster Emperor with the memory of the ancient temple and revealed an even more shocking secret, which made Ding Ning dumbfounded.
The Void Realm, a mysterious world that only the top martial artists of the Three Realms were qualified to know, slowly opened in front of him, revealing a brand new unknown world.
The Void Realm seemed to have existed forever. No one knew its origin. It was vast and boundless, and the experts who were once listed on the Divine List lived in it.
Those who were not listed on the Divine List were not qualified to enter at all. If they entered without the permission of the experts on the Divine List, they would inevitably be killed by them.
The Void Realm was not magical. To put it bluntly, it was a small world similar to the Divine Territory.
The experts on the Divine List living in it were not rare. They were not strictly speaking experts on the Divine List, but experts who were once listed on the Divine List and were eventually eliminated but luckily survived. They were unwilling to accept their failure, but due to age restrictions, they could not participate in the next Divine List Ranking Battle. They settled down in the Void Realm, multiplied, and worked hard to cultivate the younger generation of their families, striving to cultivate people who were truly listed on the Divine List.
What was magical was that there was a Void Mountain in the Void Realm. It was said that the Void Mountain was usually untraceable, and it would only appear in the world when the Divine List Ranking Battle that happened once every thousand years began.
Once the once-in-a-millennium Battle of the God List arrived, anyone who could find the entrance to the Void Realm would be able to enter at will. The experts on the God List who lived there would no longer attack them. Once they did, they would be forcibly obliterated by an unknown force.
The possibility of being tricked by others happened in the Void Realm. Every year when the Divine List Battle started, a group of people would appear to peddle treasure maps.
After all, those who were qualified to know about the Void Realm and enter it, even if they were not qualified to participate in the Divine List Battle, were powerful forces with super experts in their families or sects.
None of such people lacked money. They were not qualified to participate in the Divine List Battle, so they wanted to explore the Void Realm and see if they could obtain some opportunities.
Therefore, these half-real, half-fake treasure maps became the most sought after items by these people. Every thousand years, countless people would lose their lives in these so-called ruins.
Of course, there were also people with heaven-defying luck who really relied on the treasure map to obtain some treasures or even fortuitous encounters, allowing them to ascend to the heavens in a single bound. This caused the eyes of countless people to go red with envy, causing them to rush forward like a flock of ducks, and they were never tired of this sort of treasure hunt.
There were even many powerful reclusive families or sects who specially formed groups to come for these treasure maps. Even if it was a huge wave that would result in the death of countless family experts, they were unwilling to let go of this great opportunity to obtain treasures or opportunities that only happened once in a thousand years.
"Void Realm, Void Mountain, experts on the Divine List who were eliminated, nine fake and one real treasure maps. Interesting."
Ding Ning listened with great interest. He was looking forward to the grand event that happened once in a thousand years in the Void Mountain. He immediately asked, "This year seems to be the year of the Divine List Battle. Where is the entrance to the Void Realm? When will it open? "
"The Void Realm is open all year round, but no one dares to enter it usually. If this year is the year of the Divine List Battle, then it should be possible to enter by now. As for where the entrance to the Void Realm is, I don't know. You'll have to find it yourself. Or, on the day of the Divine List Battle, if you're strong enough to participate in it, the Divine List will naturally pull you into the Void Realm. If you can win the first round, you'll naturally appear in the Void Realm."
The demonic nature replied in fear, afraid that Ding Ning would vent his anger on it if he was unhappy.
Ding Ning knew that it was not lying. After all, the demonic nature itself had no memory. Its memory came from the incomplete memories of the Devil Overlord, the Monster Overlord, and the ancient temple. It was reasonable that it did not know the exact location of the entrance to the Void Realm.
After asking the demonic nature a few more questions, Ding Ning felt that he knew what he needed to know. He was a little hesitant on how to deal with the demonic nature.
Although he had made an oath to the Heavenly Way, this was his willpower space. The Heavenly Way could not touch it. In other words, in this place, he was equivalent to the Heavenly Way. Even if he did not abide by the oath, he would not be punished.
