Zhang Yu looked at this person who had been suppressed. Judging from this person's aura, he had undoubtedly reached the level of Xuan Zun. Perhaps this person could answer some of his questions.
Normally, those with lower levels of power would not be able to converse with this person. However, the creator of the Boundless Clan and the person who set up the formation could use the ingenious use of power. Even with the level of power he was currently displaying, he could still converse with this person.
Although he did not know the purpose of this place, it was convenient for him to communicate. He did not need to use the seal that could avoid the formation and spiritual power.
The young Daoist saw that he did not reply for a long time, but he did not show any signs of impatience. Instead, he calmly looked outside. Even though he could not see anything through the colored glass, he could only vaguely sense a layer of aura.
After a long time, Zhang Yu said, "How long has it been since you have known about the outside world?"
The young Daoist said, "I remember that the last person who came here and was able to converse with me was more than fifty years ago."
Zhang Yu thought about it. This person was suppressed here more than a hundred and twenty years ago. Actually, from the records, there were quite a few people who came here to see this person, but there were not many who were able to converse with him. Perhaps one was disdainful, while the other was probably not at a high enough level. Even with the support of spiritual power, they could not converse with him.
Actually, it was extremely humiliating to display this person to the outside world like a rare object. However, it seemed like this person did not mind at all. How should he put it? In the end, he was a cultivator. His temperament and cultivation were all passable.
Because he had some questions to ask this person, he first gave a general description of the situation in the outside world in the past few decades. As for the matter of the Boundless Clan's civil war, he did not say much. The conversation here could be recorded. He had no need to say these things, in case others misunderstood that he was deliberately leaking information.
After the young Daoist finished listening, he sighed and said, "This situation is no different from over a hundred years ago. I wonder when this world will regain its peace. Right, do you know of the Golden Grain Sect?"
Zhang Yu pondered for a moment. Although this person was suppressed here, there were no clear records of his name, identity, or background. This should be because his rank was not high enough, so he could not come into contact with him. However, he had seen this Golden Grain Faction before when he was looking through the records.
According to the records, the Golden Grain Sect was defeated 120 years ago, which matched the time this person was imprisoned. He asked, "Are you from this sect?"
The young Daoist lamented, "That's right. It's been more than a hundred years since we last met. I wonder how my fellow Daoists and junior disciples are doing. In the past, none of the people who came here told me about this. When I asked them, they all avoided talking about it. "
Zhang Yu said, "I don't know much about this either. I've only seen the records in the documents. It said that the Golden Valley Sect was a sect that was destroyed by the Hao Clan a hundred years ago. During this period, they experienced a fierce battle and destroyed this sect. That's all. There was no explanation for the rest."
The young Daoist was slightly taken aback. Smiling bitterly, he said, "Then the records must be wrong." He shook his head. "Although the Golden Valley Sect was destroyed, there was no great battle at the time."
Zhang Yu said, "Since there was no great battle, then how did you end up being imprisoned here?"
The young Daoist said frankly, "I was imprisoned here of my own accord."
"Of your own accord?"
The young Daoist said, "Yes, of my own accord."
Zhang Yu looked at him and asked, "Why is that?"
The young Daoist raised his voice and said, "Back then, I made an agreement with the Hao Clan. As long as we gave up resistance and were willing to merge our entire sect into the Hao Clan, then the Hao Clan would give all of our disciples and citizens the identity of Hao Clan citizens. They also promised that they would not receive any interference or hindrance while living in the Hao Clan's territory.
This way, we could avoid the war involving too many innocents. Back then, there were millions of citizens and tens of thousands of cultivators in the sect. Once the war started, there would definitely be heavy casualties. It would not be a good thing for the Hao Clan or the Golden Valley Sect.
In order to prevent this tragedy from happening, it was I who persuaded the sect master and the elders of the sect to give up resistance. In the end, we successfully merged into the Hao Clan. "
Zhang Yu looked at him for a moment, then said, "When you made this decision, did your sect master and elders agree as well?"
The young Daoist sighed. "Of course they were not willing. They still wanted to bring a portion of their disciples and fight to the death. However, if that happened, once there were casualties, the result would not be as peaceful as I had imagined. That was why I could only take action and restrain them …"
Speaking up to here, he said in a heavy tone, "After all, after many sects were conquered by the Hao Clan, their citizens were sold as slaves. Cultivators either fled in all directions or were completely massacred. Among them, there were many sects even more powerful than my Golden Valley Sect. I made this choice in order to avoid even greater sacrifices.
As long as we do not fight with the Hao Clan and are not stained with their blood, there will be no enmity between us. When the disciples and citizens of the sect go to the Hao Clan, they will be able to receive relatively fair treatment in the Hao Clan's territory. "
Zhang Yu said slowly, "By doing this, are you not afraid that you will not fulfill your promise?"
The young Daoist said, "Of course not. Back then, I had signed a contract with a Hao Clan sect king. He could not go against his own oath."
Zhang Yu did not say anything. He did not know what happened to the Golden Valley Sect in the end. However, from those records, this sect's outcome was no different from other sects. There was no mention of a peaceful return.
In the records, this sect's resistance was extremely fierce. As a result, according to the old rules, the upper and middle class cultivators were all killed. The lower class were either recruited or sold as slaves.
If things were not like this, there would be no need to write these things at all. However, since it was recorded, the true result should be like this.
He did not know the reason why the Hao Clan did this, but that sect king at the time did not leave behind his name. After living in the Hao Clan for a year and a half, he was also familiar with the various ways the Hao Clan did things. This person had undoubtedly been expelled from the sect, and it had been done very early. In that case, the contract he had signed was definitely useless.
If his deduction was correct, the sect master and those elders of the Golden Valley Sect did not die in the confrontation between the two sides. Instead, after being subdued by their own people, they were massacred without being able to resist at all.
He said, "Since you've signed the contract, why did you willingly become a prisoner?"
The young Daoist said calmly, "As long as I am here, the sect will definitely not be stable. The disciples will rely on me, and it will be difficult for them to truly return to the Hao Clan. Only when I am no longer here can the Hao Clan feel at ease, and those younger disciples will not have too many thoughts. More than a hundred years have passed, presumably they will be able to integrate into the Hao Clan. My sacrifice will also be worth it. "
Zhang Yu glanced at him, and said, "Fellow Daoist, have you always been cultivating in the Golden Valley Sect?"
The young Daoist said, "That's right. I grew up in the Golden Valley Sect since I was young." He revealed an expression of reminiscence. "At that time, the various sects fought fiercely against each other. Every year, countless disciples and citizens would die …"
Zhang Yu listened to his own narration, and only then did he know that this master devoted his entire life to bridging the disputes between the various sects. However, because his strength was not enough, not many people took his words to heart.
Thus, he entrusted his own ideals to his own disciple. Perhaps it was a fortunate thing, and his disciple finally reached the upper level. Perhaps it was a misfortune, and his disciple finally reached the upper level.
He did not make any judgments about this, and only said, "I don't know much about the Golden Valley Sect. Everything comes from those records. Since Fellow Daoist says that what you said is wrong, I'm afraid I can't give you a concrete answer."
The young Daoist was slightly disappointed, but he also said gratefully, "No matter what, I still have to thank Fellow Daoist for telling me about the current situation outside."
Zhang Yu said, "I still have a question to ask Fellow Daoist."
The young Daoist smiled, and said, "Fellow Daoist, do you want to ask about Dao techniques? As long as I know, I can tell Fellow Daoist, but … "Then, he said worriedly for Zhang Yu," If I tell Fellow Daoist, will it bring Fellow Daoist any trouble? "
Zhang Yu said, "That won't happen. Now that I have a noble rank in the Hao Clan, no one will come to make things difficult for me."
The young Daoist said in surprise, "Fellow Daoist, you have a noble rank?" Not only was he not unhappy, but he also showed a look of admiration, and said, "That's how it should be. The Hao Clan and Daoist cultivators are both creatures of the Underground Continent, there shouldn't be any barriers between them."
Zhang Yu did not express his opinion, and said, "What I need to ask Fellow Daoist isn't some difficult problem in Dao techniques, but what I want to ask is, what's the highest level of cultivation among the Daoist sects now? How many people have cultivated to that level? "
The young Daoist said, "So Fellow Daoist is asking about this …"
He thought for a moment, and said, "I don't know now, but before I was imprisoned, the Six Sects beyond the Heavens were the most tyrannical. They had the ability to move sects to the Beyond Heavens, and each sect had several Daoists whose cultivation was not inferior to mine. I've also heard that above them, there were a few Daoists whose cultivation was even higher …"
Zhang Yu listened carefully to his narration, because this person himself was at this level, so the things he knew were far clearer than the records of the Hao Clan. However, he was born in a Daoist sect on the Underground Continent, after all, so there were still some things he was not clear about.
After getting the answer he wanted to know, he nodded, thanked this person, and prepared to leave. However, at this moment, the young Daoist stopped him, and said, "Fellow Daoist, if it's possible, can you help me ask about the Golden Valley Sect?"
Zhang Yu stopped, looked at him, and said, "If there's a chance, Fellow Daoist will know."
After saying that, he walked out of this underground platform. After leaving this place, he returned to his own residence.
He thought about what the young Daoist said just now, and the most noteworthy one was the person who was suspected to have transformed into the Beyond Heavens. It was hard to say whether that was the "Upper Self", but if he could find a way to obtain the objects or writings left behind in the past, then he might be able to further identify it.
However, this was not difficult. Now, many disciples had joined the Six Sects, and as long as they cultivated and returned, they might be able to come into contact with these things.
However, to be on the safe side, perhaps he should send another Xuan Zun to go.
He thought for a moment, and called out, "Kim Daoist."
Almost at the instant his voice fell, Jin Zhixing's voice immediately sounded, "Ting Zhi, your subordinate is here! May I ask what orders you have? "
