Ye Zhenyu was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that those myths and legends were all true. The ancestor continued:
"Although the world is temporarily peaceful, it has also lost the protection of God. From then on, the spiritual energy of the world became thinner, the practice was much slower, and it fell into the age of the end of the Dharma. The most dangerous thing is that demons and demons still remain in the world, and the dangers from outside the world are difficult for ordinary people to
contend."
"Just like meteorites from the sky, they may destroy mankind at any time. Although the several innate gods who stayed in the human world later transformed into the moon in order to protect the human world, they were able to block most of the meteorites from impacting the human world, but there are still some things that can slip through the net.
The fish will fly to the human world. In order to resist these threats that cannot be countered by human beings, cultivators in the human world established the Earth Immortal Alliance to jointly protect the human world."
"However, due to the thin spiritual energy in the human world, the mana of the cultivators left in the human world grows slowly. Less than 100 can reach the Golden Immortal level, and the rest mostly stay in the realm of distraction and integration. And there are dozens of cultivators who want to reach the Golden Immortal realm.
If you want to break through the Heavenly Gate and ascend to the Immortal Realm, all of them will be destroyed in the thunder tribulation, leaving only the Yuan Shen to start practicing again."
Ye Zhenyu finally couldn't help but asked: "Ancestor, what state have you reached?"
The ancestor did not answer Ye Zhenyu's question immediately. He took a sip of wine first, stroked his beard, and thought for a long time: "I reached the peak of the Fusion Realm when I was at my peak. I am only one step away from becoming a true immortal. I am afraid that I will not be able to survive the catastrophe in the human world.
, so there has been no breakthrough for a long time. But now I am only a damaged soul, I am afraid that I can't even deal with those in the divided spirit realm, alas..." He sighed silently.
Ye Zhenyu bravely asked: "Ancestor, did you get hurt because you wanted to fly to heaven?"
"Of course not!" the ancestor said in a serious tone.
After a while, Ye Zhenyu thought that his question had offended his ancestor, and while he was panicking, his ancestor spoke again: "Do you know about the big explosion that happened in the north more than 100 years ago?"
"Are you talking about the Tunguska explosion that occurred in the north?" Ye Zhenyu only hesitated for a moment before replying. He was too familiar with various research hypotheses about the Tunguska explosion. This was his excitement. Did the ancestor know that
The reason for the big explosion in Gus? He looked at the ancestor expectantly, and the ancestor said:
"Back then, several of us who were guarding Zhongzhou received a message for help from Arctic Emperor Gouchen, saying that a huge meteorite was flying towards the north of the human world. The pressure was so great that he might not be able to resist it alone. So Lu Zu and I
, Peng Zu rushed to the north. By the time we arrived, it was too late to make any preparations. The huge meteorite was about to hit the ground. If it hit the ground, it would be a catastrophe in the world. The earth would be turned upside down, underground lava would erupt everywhere, and the world would be faced with the possibility of
A devastating disaster."
"Under the crisis, the four of us had no choice but to use all our strength to destroy it in the air with one blow. Although we succeeded in destroying it in the air, Emperor Gouchen, Lu Zu, and Peng Zu were all destroyed in spirit, and my body was also destroyed.
The god was seriously injured, and more than a hundred years later, even with the protection of this ancient artifact, the soul has only recovered less than 30%."
When the ancestor said this, he stopped talking and stared into the distance, as if the terrifying scene had just passed. Ye Zhenyu thought that the ancestor knew the secret of the Tunguska explosion, but what he didn't expect was...
After a long silence, Ye Zhenyu couldn't help but ask: "Ancestor, can you still recover?" Ye Zhenyu's mood was extremely complicated, with inexplicable sadness, fear, admiration... Who said, "What kind of peaceful years can there be?"
Just because someone is silently guarding us!''.
"Unless the Heavenly Gate opens again," the ancestor pondered for a moment, "otherwise, it will take a thousand years to recover."
Everyone was silent. For a long time, Ye Zhenyu was about to ask about his father, but the ancestor spoke first:
"Little baby, your father is the most promising person to reopen the Heavenly Gate. I still haven't seen through his origins, but he has extraordinary talents. When I woke up after being seriously injured, I realized that it was your father who saved me. At that time, he
He was still in the Nascent Soul Realm. Under my guidance, he practiced near the explosion site and broke through to the Fusion Realm in less than ten years. It took him thirty years to continuously break through the Celestial Immortal Realm, the True Immortal Realm, and the Mysterious Immortal Realm."
"I also absorbed and refined the fragments of the meteorite. It took ten years to break through to the Golden Immortal Realm, and another ten years to break through to the Da Luo Jin Immortal Realm. Forty years ago, I successfully overcame the heavenly tribulation and broke through to the Hunyuan Da Luo Jin Immortal. At present, except for the underworld
Ksitigarbha, besides the demon god in the demon realm, should be the first immortal in the world."
"Then why did he abandon us?" Ye Zhenyu asked resentfully.
"Boy, he didn't abandon you mother and son. As I said, everyone has his mission. Your father's mission is to protect all mankind, and he has his more important mission to complete. Besides, back then..." At this point
The ancestor suddenly stopped talking.
"What happened back then??" Ye Zhenyu asked eagerly.
The ancestor pondered for a moment and said: "Don't talk about this anymore, you will know it later. Let me talk about you first. I know from your sea of consciousness that you wrote a book and you solved it in a way that you people today can accept.
The secrets of the universe and the true meaning of the great road are glimpsed. It is amazing. I am better than you in this regard! But you must remember not to tell anyone, let alone make it public."
"Is it because the secret cannot be leaked?" Ye Zhenyu interrupted.
The ancestor rolled his eyes at him and said: "That's just one aspect. The most important thing is that people's hearts are unpredictable. Why don't you teach the truth personally and don't talk about it lightly? Although what you said is the truth, when most people don't understand it, you
If you say it, you will be regarded as a lunatic. Wasn't Ye Su crucified on the cross? What he said is true. They all have the surname Ye, so I'm sure they are still your ancestors!"
"Ancestor, stop joking, I'm serious." Ye Zhenyu was a little anxious.
"Who is not serious? Remember my words and never tell anyone, including what happened between me and that boy Li. What you have to do is, since you have glimpsed the true meaning of the Dao, I will give you some guidance on how to practice and strengthen your skills.
Cultivation and rapid improvement of one's realm is the way to go."
After a moment of pause, the ancestor continued: "In two days, Mr. Li will take you to the Zhongzhou General Altar to revive your bloodline. After the bloodline is revived, your cultivation will be twice the result with half the effort. Only then will you be able to protect yourself and not encounter crises every time.
It all depends on me, every time I take a shot, I consume a lot of real energy, which is not good for my recovery."
"Oh, I thought it was the Heavenly King's Sword that saved me," Ye Zhenyu said timidly.
"You are such a brat, you have no conscience. The Heavenly King Sword has not recognized its master yet and has not yet awakened. How could I have saved you if I had not controlled it?" the ancestor said angrily.
Ye Zhenyu was so frightened that he hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, ancestor, I didn't mean it like that. Don't be angry. Thank you ancestor for saving my life!" After saying that, he knelt down on his knees.
The ancestor glared at Ye Zhenyu and said: "Well, you can teach me. Get up. I have lived for thousands of years, so I am not so stingy. By the way, I am going to rest when I am tired. Just follow the Tao Te Ching No. 1
Zhang, practice well!" After saying that, he disappeared.
