After bidding farewell to the Jade Emperor and the immortals, Li Xiang and Yin Tianzi walked downstream along the long river of time.
The water of time continues to wash away, and the surrounding Yin Qi is quickly consumed.
Li Xiang lowered his head and looked at Yin Tianzi's feet. He couldn't understand why there was a steady stream of Yin Qi flowing out of his feet.
"The Jade Emperor seems to have no grudge against you, right?" Yin Tianzi, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.
Li Xiang knew what he was asking and said without hesitation: "He lied that you couldn't leave the Netherworld Branch, and also said that he couldn't leave the Heavenly Branch too far, just to prevent me from communicating with you and to set up a trap for me."
"Since Li Jing and those ministers of the old heaven have put on a good show, I, a younger generation, should naturally cooperate."
Yin Tianzi frowned, "Ghosts have ghost ways, and gods have divine ways. Once the ghostly luck in the ghost seal invades the Jade Emperor's "divine ways," it may cause his avenue to collapse. What you are doing is out of bounds."
Li Xiang didn't speak, he just lowered his head and watched the collision between Yin Qi and the water of time.
Not responding is not acquiescence, but denial.
Seeing his appearance, Yin Tianzi was a little angry and helpless.
He considers himself a very reasonable person, and what he said makes sense.
But this kid doesn't recognize his own reasons and is as stubborn as a stubborn stone.
If it were anyone else, Yin Tianzi would never have so much patience.
He sighed and continued:
"Since ancient times, Kyushu has been in chaos. The emperor in the human world has to use his imperial power to balance the forces of all parties. The situation in heaven is more complicated. The Jade Emperor always likes to test things and will leave enough room for maneuver."
"He actually has no hostility towards you."
Li Xiang looked at the rushing time under his feet and was silent for a long time before he said, "This has been like this since ancient times, isn't it right?"
"With the crisis in Kyushu, I don't have the time or energy to play tricks, strategies, or power with him."
"I can't do it either, deceiving the people under my command and letting them fight to the death while I escape."
Li Xiang raised his head and looked directly into Yin Tianzi's eyes, "Although I have the innate purple energy to condense the divine power, but here..." He pointed to his chest, "It is still the human heart."
"All I ask for is just four words."
Yin Tianzi said seriously, "I would like to hear the details."
Li Xiang's tone did not fluctuate at all, "My thoughts are clear."
Yin Tianzi was slightly startled. After thinking for a long time, he shook his head and said, "It's difficult."
He turned around and looked upstream of the river of time. His sight seemed to travel through thousands of years, and he saw the gods moving forward in the river of time.
"There is great power in the ancient times, which can destroy the sky and the earth."
"We... are still too weak after all."
"The weak have no right to speak."
"In front of them, your thoughts and ideas are dispensable."
While talking, the two of them had arrived at the entrance to the Netherworld.
Yin Tianzi said, "If you want to understand your thoughts, you have to become them, or surpass them."
Li Xiang was a little surprised, "Who are they?"
Yin Tianzi looked at the rushing water of time under his feet, and it took a long time before he slowly uttered two words.
"saint."
Li Xiang's mind was like a thunderclap, and he stared at the other party blankly.
Yin Tianzi said, "Below the saint, we are all ants. Although the Jade Emperor and I are both masters of the same realm, we are just tools under the rule of the saint."
His eyes turned gray.
It was a feeling of powerlessness, just like an ant facing an elephant, unable to resist at all.
But soon, the darkness in his eyes disappeared and was replaced by a bright light.
Yin Tianzi stared straight at Li Xiang, his eyes so bright that it was scary.
Like a drowning man seeing a boat.
"And you have obtained the innate purple energy, which is the foundation of sainthood!"
"You have a chance to become a saint, another saint in thousands of years!"
His voice was trembling, and his face was a little distorted because of excitement.
The Yin Qi under his body also became agitated, carrying the water of time, causing waves.
Li Xiang was not infected by his fervent state. Instead, he waited for the other party to gradually calm down before shaking his head and saying, "My innate purple energy is not complete."
Yin Tianzi said, "Innate Purple Qi is a creature of creation and is extremely mysterious. Perhaps your incomplete Innate Purple Qi can be repaired in some way."
"If you take a step back, even if it's beyond repair, you can look for the remaining pieces that were stripped away and put them back together."
He stared at Li Xiang and said with great solemnity, "The innate purple energy is too important, even more important than the Netherworld, the existence of the three realms of heaven and the human world!"
Li Xiang didn't understand why the other party was so excited and asked, "Why?"
A flash of fear flashed in Yin Tianzi's eyes, and he shook his head and said, "This matter involves a saint. I can't say it, and I dare not say it. But one day, you will enter the six realms of reincarnation, and you will naturally know the answer."
He waved his hand casually, and a door full of ghostly patterns rose up in the rushing water of time.
"Go back and do what you should do." Yin Tianzi waved his hand.
Li Xiang didn't ask any more questions and walked into the Netherworld Gate.
When he reappeared, he was already in Fengdu Ghost Town.
With the ghost pattern gate closed, everything returned to normal.
Li Xiang walked on the lively streets of Fengdu City, digesting the information he got in the long river of time.
The structure of this world is very different from his perception.
The biggest thing is the long river of time.
It's a pity that my cultivation level is still shallow and I can't explore the river of time yet.
However, he also learned more about Kyushu's past.
The history of Kyushu, from recent to distant, can be roughly divided into several stages:
First: The modern period, including the age of martial arts, the age of the end of law, the age of cultivating immortals, and the age of conferring gods, corresponds to the first to fourth levels.
Second: The ancient period corresponds to the time period when the fifth-level ancestral spirits lived. The objects of the war gods who returned to their ancestors, such as Cangjie, Zhu Rong, etc., all lived in that period.
It was the age of tribes, and the human race had the power of totems, which could rival gods and even kill gods.
The third is the ancient period, which is a period of time before the tribal era.
Li Xiang knew almost no information about ancient times.
However, it can be inferred from Taigong's words that the human race was very powerful at that time, and the Human Emperor, the leader of the human race, had great combat power and authority.
If anyone can return to the ancestral spirit of this period, it should be a sixth- or seventh-level returner.
Fourth: The ancient period is unknown.
Before time immemorial, there was an ancient era where saints lived.
Huanggu, if used as a word from the previous life, is:
Prehistoric.
As Li Xiang walked in the bustling market of Fengdu City, his thoughts traveled through a long time and went back to the distant ancient times.
"Tai Gong entered the river of time and went to his master Yuanshi Tianzun to ask for an explanation."
"That is to say, the saint Yuanshi Tianzun is in the long river of time."
"So, are other saints also in the long river of time?"
"If we divide it according to today's levels, saints should be in the ninth level, right?"
