From Gu Lianyue's mouth, the distant years that had been sealed in dust slowly unfolded to Gu Chen.
In ancient times, there was a catastrophe of heaven and earth. The specific reason why it happened has long been unknown. We only know that in that battle, a peerless power struck from the depths of the universe and penetrated the entire ancient star.
The ancient star was penetrated by a hole near the center of the earth, and the cracks in this hole spread to the entire surface of the earth. The once vast continent disappeared without a trace, and most of the area turned into an ocean, leaving only a few continents isolated from each other, among which
There is the Fairy Continent and the Kunlun Continent.
That catastrophe changed the landscape of the entire pale yellow ancient star, and the huge cavity in the center of the earth spread to the continental shelf, forming a special place like the Tiankeng and the Eye of the Earth.
In other words, the tiankeng earth eye leads to the center of the earth of the pale ancient star, and is the extension of the earth's center hollow on the surface of the earth.
"What is the origin of the Tiankeng and the Eye?"
Gu Chen was shocked when he heard this. What kind of divine power is needed to penetrate an ancient star? What scale did that war in ancient times reach?
What Gu Lianyue told him was like a fantasy. If she told ordinary people, they would definitely scoff and think they were joking.
But when Gu Chen thought about the fragmented surface of the Deep Demonic Sea, and when he thought about how he was getting closer to the eye of the sinkhole, the gravity he felt continued to strengthen, and he couldn't help but believe her statement.
"There are many places like the Tiankeng Earth Eye on the Ancient Canghuang Star. It is said that there is a glacier abyss on the Sky Burial Continent, which also leads to the center of the earth. These are all recorded in the classics left by my ancestors of the Gu clan.
, Now the only people on the mainland who know such secrets are us and the top officials of a very few forces such as the Thirteen Immortals Sect." Gu Lianyue added.
Gu Chen took a deep breath, "I understand the origin of the Tiankeng Earth Eye, but just now you said this place is related to the opportunity to become an immortal, so what happened?"
"In ancient times, before that catastrophe occurred, the cultivation civilization of Canghuang Ancient Star was extremely prosperous. The number of immortals was far greater than today, and the connection with the universe was also very close."
Gu Chen nodded. He had heard about these things a long time ago, and it could be seen from some descriptions in the Poison Sutra that he had also discussed this matter with Gu Ziyan.
"But after that catastrophe, everything changed. Because the ancient pale star's star was penetrated, the environment of the world has changed since then, and the vitality has continued to drain. This is why the number of immortals has become less and less since ancient times, so that by the
Thirty thousand years ago, there were only the last thirteen immortals left on the ancient star."
"It's not just the Immortal Dao inheritance that has been affected. Even the martial arts inheritance that was so prosperous in ancient times has also been interrupted. There are also the six lines of my Gu clan. Although they were born after that catastrophe, the people who have been able to cultivate the hegemonic body in the past generations have surpassed
We are coming less and less, and the last owner of the Hegemony is our ancestor Gu Hao who brought us to the Fairy Continent 30,000 years ago."
"Since the ancestors and the thirteen immortals, the environment of the ancient Canghuang Star has become even worse. So far, no tyrants and immortals have been born."
Gu Chen became calm after the initial surprise and murmured. "I heard that the ancestors and the thirteen immortals disappeared not long after they moved to the Fairy Continent, and I saw a tyrant outside the Tiankeng before.
The ancestor of the body, it seems that that person is the ancestor Gu Hao."
Gu Lianyue nodded heavily, "I'm afraid that's right. Do you know why the ancestors and the thirteen immortals entered the Tiankeng Earth Eye?"
Gu Chen shook his head.
"Since the ancient catastrophe, the ancient pale star has become no longer suitable for cultivation. Monks of all ages have thought of countless ways to change this situation, and there are two main methods."
"The first one is that when the catastrophe came, the ancient continent fell apart, and the ancient immortals also lost their lives, and the prosperous civilization was interrupted. Legend has it that the ruins of the ancient continent are in the center of the earth, and there are still strong inheritances there, so many people later
When there is no hope for a monk to break through, they will choose to enter the Tiankeng Earth Eye, hoping to find the treasure left by the immortal, and then break through and become an immortal."
Gu Chen suddenly realized that this explained why so many outstanding people in the past chose to enter the Tiankeng to gamble on their chances.
"The second type is that people have set their sights on the distant universe. Since the pale ancient stars are no longer suitable for cultivation, many monks hope to leave the ancient stars and enter the universe to find other ancient stars with life."
"In ancient times, people knew about the vast star field outside Canghuang Ancient Star, so they chose this method immediately. But they didn't expect that after that catastrophe, Tianxu appeared in the sky above Canghuang Ancient Star.
It is filled with nine-day storms that no one can overcome."
"The road to heaven is interrupted, so all the monks who want to go further can only put their hope in the eyes of Tiankeng."
"No, if you can't enter the universe because of Tianxu, then 30,000 years ago..."
Gu Chen remembered the arrival of the gods 30,000 years ago.
"It seems that you have already thought of it. Thirty thousand years ago, the gods came to the ancient star of Canghuang in search of a certain treasure. My ancestors of the Gu family and all the alliances tried their best to eliminate them, but it also led to the destruction of the Kunlun continent.
Once, even the relics left by the gods cannot be completely destroyed."
"After experiencing that war, our ancestor Gu Hao and the thirteen immortals realized the vastness of the universe and felt that they were small and weak."
"According to the warnings of the gods before their death, they are just the vanguard. In order to find such a treasure, sooner or later more masters will come to Canghuang Ancient Star."
Gu Chen felt awe-struck and couldn't help but touch his abdomen. Could the mother root of all things in his Dantian be such a treasure?
"Because of the threats from the gods before their death, and because the ancestors and the thirteen immortals also wanted to seek a breakthrough, they firmly decided to leave the ancient star. They wanted to cross the universe and seek a higher realm so that they could protect the ancient star.
Bullied by outsiders.”
"Since the gods can cross the Tianxu and descend on the Sky Burial Continent, the ancestors thought they could do it too, so they tried to ascend to the sky."
"But the result was that they failed. Just like their ancestors in previous generations, Tianxu was simply insurmountable."
Gu Chen blurted out, "So they also have their mind set on the Tiankeng?"
Gu Lianyue nodded, "The ancestors and the thirteen immortals entered the Tiankeng not long after they moved to the Fairy Continent. Unexpectedly, they never came back."
"Since them, the Qi of Canghuang Ancient Star seems to have been exhausted, and no tyrant or immortal has been born again."
"Over the past 30,000 years, whether it is our Gu clan or the Thirteen Immortal Sects, many of our ancestors have entered the Tiankeng Earth Eye one after another, either to extend their lifespan or to seek a breakthrough in realm."
"Back then, your Xuanzu and great-grandfathers led a large number of elites from the clan into the Tiankeng Earth Eye for the same reason, but they also failed in the end."
