When they heard this, Elder Hao and the other three were also filled with sighs. The second ancestor also disappeared in the end. Did he fall on the way to ascension?
I think 90% of it has already been this ending, regardless of whether he ascended to the fairy world or not, according to what Sikong Lai said and what the Third Ancestor once described.
They can all see that the second ancestor's character is quite paranoid, and precisely for this reason, they can actually guess the final result.
Because of what happened later, the second ancestor never came back to seek revenge on the "Sun-shielding Clan", which is enough to explain everything.
And it is impossible to verify whether this convenient entrance, which has been forbidden to be used, is just reserved for the first ancestor, as the second ancestor said.
After all, with the character of the Second Ancestor, even if he had regrets in his heart, he would not express them.
Otherwise, we can learn from Sikong Lai here about the second ancestor's final attitude towards the third ancestor. Did he regret it and accept it in the future, or has he still not forgiven him?
The Iron Scroll Alchemy Book of the Third Ancestor has been placed somewhere unknown by the Third Ancestor, or even destroyed directly.
If Elder Hao had it in his hands, then he only needed to go back to the valley and take out the Iron Scroll Alchemy Book and try it like Li Yan did before.
If you can also enter here, it means that the second ancestor did not modify the formation, but still allowed the third ancestor's Iron Scroll Alchemy Book to retain the original permission to open and prohibit it.
This means that his attitude towards the Third Ancestor is not severance. Otherwise, he will not let the Third Ancestor find the "Soul Prison Clan" at all.
But at least one thing is clear. In the words left by the second ancestor, his disciples are still allowed to abide by the original agreement between him and the third ancestor.
That is, as long as the whereabouts of the great ancestor are found, the three ancestors can be returned to the clan. As long as this is explained, otherwise these people will not know about it, which will be really troublesome.
But when Sikong Lai came to this point, Li Yan's eyes flashed on one side. At this moment, he was sure of one thing. The second ancestor had not succeeded in ascension.
However, the second ancestor did not die on the way to ascension, but finally died in the ruins of the "Soul Prison Clan".
It's just that I was afraid of Elder Hao and the others about this matter, so I was dealing with them. Of course, what Li Yan said was true and false, and he also kept some things unsaid.
That was a jade slip that Su Hong once told him that they had obtained from the ruins of the "Soul Prison Clan". Some people there said that they failed to ascend and died seriously injured.
Li Yan once thought about whether that person might be the second ancestor?
However, the nature of the jade slip obtained by Su Hong is somewhat uncertain, and it cannot be proven that it was left by a real "Soul Prison Clan" monk.
Especially when Li Yan went to the lower realm this time and accompanied Elder Hao and others to investigate, the news he got from the "Shielding Sun Clan" was that the monks from the "Soul Prison Clan" disappeared after the battle.
The three of them had previously speculated that since the second ancestor was not dead and had saved many clan members, the "Soul Prison Clan" should not have perished.
Therefore, he was not sure whether the jade slip was true or false. It might even have been left behind intentionally by the second ancestor, and this was the most likely possibility.
Because if he takes his tribe with him and wants to avoid the opponent, he may leave some deliberately misleading clues to make the enemy mistakenly investigate and stay away.
It's just that what Sikong Lai said today said that the second ancestor had indeed gone to ascend, so Li Yan could be sure that the jade slip was most likely left by the second ancestor.
Li Yan certainly remembered the contents of that jade slip very clearly with the memory of an immortal cultivator.
"My life is not as difficult as the way of heaven. I have been wandering in space for more than four hundred years. I have returned with serious injuries. The end is approaching!
Yunyun spent her whole life searching for immortals since she was exhausted in martial arts, and lost nine out of ten of her friends along the way. Finally, she found the secret of immortality, and the three of us created the Soul Prison.
Gai's chivalry is based on his principles, he widely adopts the Xunxian lineage and uses martial arts to enter Taoism. He kills demons when he encounters them and eradicates evil when he encounters them.
The rest of my life is about to end, but there will be no more reincarnation. In the next life, I will definitely walk on the path of immortality and conquer the immortal spirits!"
These words undoubtedly indicate that this person was seriously injured in a chaotic space, and it took hundreds of years before he returned to the "Soul Prison Clan", and it does mention the creation of the "Soul Prison Clan"!
"Could it be that after the second ancestor was seriously injured, he knew that his time was running out, so he didn't want to return to the alternate place where his clan members were.
That would make his own people directly face disappointment, so he finally chose to die in the land of his original tribe. This kind of thing could really be done with his paranoid mind.
But the place where the second ancestor died was not the cave we saw. It was most likely in the cave of the great ancestor, or a place where he had concerns in his heart.
It’s just that that place was eventually discovered by others, and all the jade slips were returned and retrieved. It seems that his bones are gone..."
Li Yan's thoughts were racing in his mind. He had already connected some things, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for the end of the second ancestor.
…………
Sikong Lai continued to describe what happened next. Many years after the second ancestor left, the people here could no longer wait for the return of the second ancestor.
They also didn't wait for the sudden appearance of the great ancestor, and they already knew that these two people would never come back.
As for the descendants of the Great Ancestor and the descendants of the Second Ancestor, the strongest among their clans, no one went to ascend to the fairy world, but continued to practice here.
At the same time, they are waiting for other tribesmen to catch up. Their only purpose is to accumulate deep strength, and then they will start to take revenge on the "Sun-Shielding Clan".
They know that it may take at least a generation or two before they have the power to truly retaliate, and by then they may no longer be around.
But their generation is the people who have been directly harmed the most by the "sun-shielding tribe", and they are also the people who are most directly harmed.
Although they believe that as long as they leave instructions, future generations will follow them.
But they are still worried, because as time goes by, future generations will not feel the same hatred towards the "sun-shielding tribe" as they do, and they may slowly relax.
Therefore, they planned to start an operation after accumulating a certain amount of strength. At that time, the end of several of them was approaching.
So they want to use their own blood to imprint this deep hatred on their next generation, so that the hatred will not be eradicated.
And they really did this. In their revenge, while killing the other monks, their own side almost completely fell.
And the hatred brought by their blood was indeed deeply remembered in the minds of those disciples and relatives...
They continued to practice hard, and strong men emerged one after another. Finally, more than a thousand years later, the "Sun-shielding Clan" ushered in a long-lasting revenge.
The strong men in the "Soul Prison Clan" can directly teleport and sneak back to Qingqing Continent through a teleportation channel given by the second ancestor.
But the token of the second ancestor must also be used, so as to ensure that the transmission channel will not be easily activated.
It's just that the descendants of the "Soul Prison Clan" don't know, because this is still a cross-border teleportation, and it still has to pass through the water pool in the Qingshan Pass Valley.
It's just that they didn't stop during the teleportation, and it was impossible to know which nodes they passed. In the end, they just knew that they appeared in a tree hole in a forest on Qingqing Continent.
But they still don't know where it is. It is very close to one of the entrances to their "Soul Prison Clan" ruins, which was set up by the Second Ancestor after he was seriously injured and came out of seclusion for the first time.
Due to his injuries, he couldn't move too far. Finally, after sneaking back to the Qingqing Continent clan, he left the exit near the ruins.
And finally starting from a certain day, the "sun-shielding tribe" ushered in wave after wave of sneak attacks, causing many casualties among the "sun-shielding tribe".
During these actions, the "Soul Prison Clan" faced the "Sun Covering Clan" who were also soul cultivators, and continued to lose one elite clan member after another.
This allowed them to hunt down the other monks, but they also paid a heavy price. The power accumulated over thousands of years continued to decrease.
But the people who mobilized like the "Soul Prison Clan" are also the second and third generation people who hate the "Sun Covering Clan" the most.
Their strong old hatred was still there, and they watched helplessly as the tribesmen around them died one by one again. By then, they were already red-blooded.
Even if they were killed one after another, they were still planning to assassinate the opponent again and again. In the end, that group of elites was almost completely exhausted.
The final exposure of the old site of the "Soul Prison Clan" was also related to two seriously injured "Soul Prison Clan" monks.
After ambushing the opponent, only the two seriously injured people were left. They wanted to use the place to sneak back to the tribe to rest, but on their way back, they were discovered and followed by a group of experienced monks.
Not long after, the two men also realized that something was wrong. One of them desperately attacked and secretly pursued the enemy, helping his own tribe to escape.
But that person was eventually killed by the group of monks, while the other person still used the token to escape back to the clan.
But that group of monks saw that the prey they were tracking was suddenly attacked by the opponent, and four people on their side died in an instant.
This surprised them. Not only had one person escaped, but this person who was already injured was actually so powerful.
The remaining six people took action desperately, and finally cut into pieces the body of the monk who was originally seriously injured.
But when they inspected the bodies of their companions afterwards, they found that there were no injuries on their bodies.
The four people who died at the same time showed no signs of poisoning. It was more like someone had directly attacked the sea of consciousness of these four people.
They were shocked and quickly checked the consciousness seas of the four people, but they still did not find any signs of rupture in the consciousness seas of the four people.
After looking at it carefully for a long time, they finally came to the conclusion that it was the only spell that could kill these four people instantly without leaving any scars.
That is, their souls were destroyed by the other party in an instant!
After the death of these four people, their souls had long since dissipated. They began to check repeatedly, but could not find any problems.
That meant that the person they killed was a mysterious soul cultivator. This discovery immediately made several people excited.
They began to search carefully for the monk who had been dismembered by them. This group of monks from the "Soul Prison Clan" originally appeared for revenge.
How could he still leave any clues on his body? At most, he would just put some elixirs and spiritual stones.
So in the end, these monks were just happy for nothing.
They were unwilling to search repeatedly, but they did not get the soul cultivation technique they dreamed of. But now that they knew that soul cultivation had appeared here, how could they give up.
They originally came here to practice, but they felt that there were few people here, and there might be some opportunities, but it was uncertain. How could they let it go this time?
After they put it all together, someone already pointed out that this place is rarely visited by people, and these two soul cultivators have obviously been seriously injured. Why do they appear here?
Can you guess that this is the entrance to a soul cultivating sect that is rare in the world?
After this inference was made, the others looked around carefully, and thinking that the two people looked like they were running for their lives at that time, they felt that the inference was very likely.
It was exactly what this team of Jindan cultivators had guessed. After searching for another half a year, they actually discovered the restricted location that might be the entrance.
This was exactly what the second ancestor was worried about at the beginning. As long as a clan member returns to the old site, it is inevitable that some traces will be left inside and outside.
If someone was interested, they would be able to find it all the way. And after he sneaked back from his injuries, he couldn't place the exit too far away.
Unexpectedly, the seriously injured clan member did not know that there was a real entrance to the original clan site nearby. On the way to escape, he only made a careful inspection of the tree hole he entered.
However, due to time constraints, he carefully eliminated some of the traces left behind him one by one.
Instead, the golden elixir monks searched for the remaining traces and discovered the entrance restriction to the ruins of the "Soul Prison Clan".
After the golden elixir monks found out, they became extremely excited and began to use various methods to crack it, but it was not that easy to break the restriction.
What awaited them was failure again and again, but this aroused their urgency, knowing that they should have found the right place.
In the end, after countless failures, they found some formation masters. However, some of the formation masters in the world may not only be strong in their own abilities.
But in their hands, there may often be some forbidden ancient treasure. After someone finally used the ancient treasure, the former site of the "Soul Prison Clan" appeared on the Qingqing Continent in the future.
Since then, this place has been exposed to the world, attracting countless people to plunder crazily...
After Li Yan heard this, he once again remembered what Su Hong had told him when he first heard about the old site of the "Soul Prison Clan". It was really the entrance that was accidentally discovered by some monks.
And after hearing about it from Sikong Lai today, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. It turned out that the result of all this was actually the result of the exposure caused by the "Soul Prison Clan" monks themselves.
After the "Soul Prison Clan"'s crazy attack and killing, although the "Sun Shield Clan" suffered a lot of losses, they suffered even more heavy casualties compared to the sparsely populated "Soul Prison Clan".
In just this round of continuous attacks, they lost a large number of elite monks in their clan and would no longer be able to launch retaliatory attacks in the future.
And then, they can only lie dormant again, waiting for the next time they accumulate strength, they will launch another attack.
This is also the reason why Elder Hao suddenly stopped the assassination after discovering the information about the "Sun-Shielding Clan" obtained by searching for souls.
In the years that followed, Shizai once again lost all the news about those assassinating monks, and not long after, people discovered the old site of the "Soul Prison Clan".
Although the "Soul Prison Tribe" went into hibernation again and the tribesmen worked hard to practice again, what made them feel uneasy was that their practice resources here had begun to be in short supply.
The cultivation materials that the three ancestors once hoarded here are almost exhausted after they have used them for so many years.
Under this situation, they could only quietly go out to look for various cultivation materials and live in the same "normal" situation as other soul cultivation sects.
They need to work hard to obtain cultivation resources while hiding in Tibet. After experiencing several catastrophes, they already know how to disguise themselves so that they can become normal in the eyes of outside monks...
