Chapter 361: Catch the tail of the mastermind behind the scenes (63k, plus 25 for book friends who t
"That day seems to be right in front of me."
The tree spirit of the Wutong Sacred Tree, a young man with a handsome appearance and a gentle temperament, sat down across from Yu Xian's tea table, picked up the tea that Yu Xian poured for him personally, and told him stories from a long time ago.
About ten thousand years ago.
At that time, the human world was still very small. It was so small that it would take thousands or tens of thousands of years of accumulation to create a world of spiritual practice and give birth to one or two god-transformation monks.
As for the cultivators who have just entered the realm of cultivating gods, they are enough to dominate the world, and then collect the world's rare treasures in order to ascend.
Because at that time, the human world could no longer satisfy the cultivation of the monks who transformed into gods.
If you want to continue to break through to the next level, you can only ascend.
That's right, the standard for ascension does not depend on one's own cultivation, but on the upper limit of what the world can accommodate.
When the world cannot support itself, then ascension is the only way out.
Even in the low-spirited world of martial arts, as long as you practice to the limit of the world, you can break the void and go to the upper world.
And such characters are all monsters with extremely high talents and talents.
The difference is just the degree of monster.
Even in the upper realm, as long as such people are not extremely unlucky, they will have some achievements, rather than disappearing from the crowd and falling into mediocrity.
After all, no matter where in the world, mediocre ordinary people make up the majority.
No matter where a genius goes, he can quickly adapt to the environment and improve himself.
Thousands of years ago, the state of becoming a god was the standard for ascension in the human world.
Except Shu Lao.
As a newly born sacred tree in the world, he naturally stands at the top of the world, but because he cannot transform, he cannot ascend.
Shu Lao doesn't like to communicate with others.
He was just sleeping as an ancient tree, waiting to meet its owner again.
Occasionally when he woke up, he would just quietly watch the evolution of the world.
He has witnessed the development of this world almost from scratch.
This world is called the human world, and naturally it is dominated by humans.
Before the human race, the current demon race could only be regarded as a character hiding in Tibet, and they were training materials for human monks.
Until that day comes.
Shu Lao was awakened by the turmoil in the world.
That was the first time he clearly heard the cry of the world.
He saw three suns.
One golden sun, one black sun, plus the red sun that was already hanging high in the sky, it was three days across the sky.
Among them, there was a fight between Jinri and Black Sun.
Just the slightest repercussions caused repeated harm to the human world.
It is not known how long the battle lasted.
The entire human world was in a mess. Just when he thought everything had calmed down, he heard someone roaring, and then the golden sun set from the sky, followed by mirages that covered the entire sky.
A huge fire crow phantom appeared in the mirage and fell from the sky like the sun falling.
Then the black sun also fell.
Spiritual energy surged from the void, and the world seemed to have experienced tens of millions of years in an instant and began to grow rapidly.
Yes, grow.
The world is like a chicken, growing stronger day by day.
Shu Lao also said that he should have been killed by the Demon Emperor and became a sacrifice for the growth of the world.
But when he was desperate, a drop of blood left by his master stopped the Demon Emperor's attack and saved him.
After seeing the drop of blood, the Demon Emperor looked quite fearful, and finally chose to let him go, but at the same time warned him not to reveal anything about him.
Since the Demon Emperor left that day, he has never seen the Demon Emperor again, and only occasionally heard the name of the Golden Crow Demon Lord, Young Emperor.
He has been keeping the secret silently for all these years, unwilling to cause trouble for himself.
As for who the Demon Emperor's opponents are and what their purpose is, that is not a secret that he can know.
After all he is just an immovable tree.
From Shu Lao's mouth, Yu Xian finally learned who his opponent was.
Because he had expected it, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He is not afraid of the strength of his opponent, but he is afraid that he does not even know who his opponent is.
Most fear comes from the unknown.
As for what the two people behind the scenes were fighting over, Shu Lao didn't know, but he knew it very well.
Apart from the human world, what else is worthy of two existences suspected of being at the peak of Dongxu, fighting each other for thousands of years without giving up.
This is the vision brought by realm.
Shu Lao may also have a guess, but since his strength is not at this level, he can only guess.
Nowadays, the Demon Emperor's existence has become an open card.
Then the counterpart to him will most likely be a powerful human being.
After all, the human world is where humans and demons compete, not other races.
However, the identity of this person is temporarily unknown.
In terms of strength, it has been determined to be at the peak of Dongxu and below.
As for why it's not higher.
One is from the fact that he saw through the transformation of the thunder dragon when Yue Jiu was undergoing a tribulation.
The other is inferred from the value of the human world.
Taking him as an example, he in the Dongxu realm can fight against the Tiandao teacher.
As for the two beings behind the scenes, if their strength exceeds the Dongxu realm and reaches another level, then they will not be entangled for thousands of years for something lower than their realm without a winner.
Just like a true understanding of the law, it is already a priceless treasure for the monks who transform themselves into gods. It even involved the human monks in the war between good and evil.
But for him who has broken through the Dongxu realm, it is absolutely impossible for him to fight for a true solution to the law with a monk of the same realm and refuse to give up for a thousand years.
"Then how did you determine that there was something wrong with the demon god species?"
Yu Xian asked.
The demon god seed and the Tao seed are both born. Even Yu Xian only confirmed that the Tao seed is poisonous after experiencing the catastrophe of ascension. But Shu Lao, an old otaku, how could he be sure that there was something wrong with the demon god seed from the beginning.
Shu Lao slowly explained: "Before the two races of humans and demons appeared, I had seen many Tao bodies in the human race, but there was no such thing as Tao seed in their bodies. A thing that did not exist before and then suddenly appeared, Of course there is a problem.
It's a pity that this demon god species grows naturally and cannot be changed by external forces.
Otherwise, if Qinghuang was fused with a drop of blood essence left by its master, there would be no need for a foreign object like a demon god.
Especially after the human monk named Yu Xian came to see me, I confirmed this guess.
Back then, he brought a treasure called the True Solution to the Law and asked me, saying that I was the oldest existence in this world and was there any way to destroy this thing.
But I'm just a tree. Although I live a long time, it doesn't mean I know everything.
In the end, he left disappointed, and the old man told him not to ascend.
Because I know that there is no such thing as a pie in the sky. Those two beings are willing to help this world grow. It is definitely not to allow more ascended people to emerge in this world. They must have other purposes.
But I also feel that he has some hope of ascending.
Because most of the ascended people from the human race came to see me before. Some wanted to kill me and refine me into treasures, while others came to chat with me, ask about ancient history, and compare themselves with each other. Compared with the ancients, it is still inferior to the ancients.
And without exception, they all embody the great fortune of heaven and earth and possess abilities beyond ordinary people.
And Yu Xian has the luck and strength of an ascended person.
But I later realized that he had failed and had no ability to resist at all.
I guessed that there might be a trap in this ascension.
I know that you are powerful, but even if your strength has reached the pinnacle of this world, if you want to go further, you have to break through the limits of the world and take the road to ascension.
But the road to ascension is full of life and death, and there are two extremely powerful beings watching in the dark.
If you force yourself to do it, you will just repeat the path of Yu Xian in the past. "
Yu Xian was just asking casually, but he had lost his character anyway, and it would be useless to ask, but he didn't expect that he would actually ask a big question.
"Yu Xian wanted to destroy the true solution to the law back then?"
He suddenly realized that he seemed to have overlooked something.
Thousands of years have passed, and the name of the Demon Emperor has always lived in legends, and has never really taken action.
If he is willing to take action, how can the human race resist?
But he can't hide, does he not want to come out, or can't he come out?
The answer is most likely the latter.
If you think about it from his perspective, he is the Demon Emperor. He has already killed all the high-level monks from the human race, and all the remaining low-level monks have been brought over to be slaves.
Since the Demon Emperor couldn't take action, how could a powerful human being who existed on the same level as him be able to take action?
It is unlikely that the two races of humans and monsters will have the current balanced situation.
And the existence that can restrict them from taking action...
After thinking about it for a while, Yu Xian came to the conclusion that there was only one Tiandao teacher.
Even though he thinks about being a master-killing rebel disciple all day long, he fully recognizes the strength of Tiandao teacher. The will of Tiandao formed by gathering the power of a world, even if it does not exceed the realm of Dongxu, is definitely Dongxu. the pinnacle of.
Speaking of which, he is not alone.
If the mastermind behind the scenes suddenly appears, if he can attract the attention of Teacher Tiandao, he might be able to attract help.
He even took the initiative to lead the way for Teacher Tiandao, triggering a war in advance.
But there is no rush yet.
The existence of the Demon Emperor is an obvious one, but another human race powerhouse hides it quite deeply.
Otherwise, he would have led Teacher Tiandao in advance to kill the Demon Emperor, causing everyone to suffer losses.
As a result, the hidden power of the human race was hiding behind and suddenly went out to pick peaches.
With his current strength, it is almost impossible for him to be an opponent, and it is very likely that he has made a wedding dress for someone else.
It can be inferred from the available information that the so-called catastrophe of ten thousand years is not the final decisive battle between the human and demon clans at all, but a duel between the two clans behind the scenes.
Because in a duel, one must take action.
And being able to take action means that they have lifted some restrictions and no longer have to worry about Teacher Tiandao.
But this time still has nearly a hundred years.
Yu Xian let his thoughts wander all the way, and thought about the beautiful snake from Sanwei Bookstore. Many questions in his mind went around, and he returned to a question that was quite important to him - if there is someone behind the scenes of the human race who is unable to take action like the demon emperor, then he will hide it now Where?
It must be an extremely safe place. No one can disturb it since thousands of years ago, so that we can wait for the arrival of the catastrophe of ten thousand years in peace.
For example, the Demon Emperor is suspected to be hiding in Yanggu.
There is the first demon clan guardian there - the Golden Crow Demon Lord.
Even the top lords of the human race may not be able to break in, and no venerable human race would be stupid enough to break into the lair of the Golden Crow Demon Lord.
But what about the mighty human race?
There is no such forbidden area in human territory that lasts for ten thousand years...
Well, it seems like half of them.
That is the Yu family's forbidden area where the true solution to the law is placed.
The origin of the true solution to the law cannot be tested. It was obtained by the Yu family thousands of years ago. This is how the Yu family became the first clan in the world and achieved glory that lasted for thousands of years.
The true solution to the law was given to the ancestors of the Yu family thousands of years ago by the great powers of the human race.
Because this object is too precious, it has been placed in the forbidden area of the Yu family.
In this way, with the Yu family protecting him, no one could break into the forbidden area to disturb him.
Until the monster Yu Xian appeared.
He took away the true solution to the law and betrayed the Yu family.
Perhaps this is why Yu Xian wanted to destroy the true solution to the law. What did he see in the true solution to the law?
And the true solution to the law is indeed broken.
Did Yu Xian do it intentionally, causing the power of ascension and the true understanding of the law to die together, or it was just a coincidence.
Yu Xian really wanted to get the answers to all the questions with just a few clicks.
He had a gut feeling that this answer was very important to him.
But Tianji Technique only obtains half of the information from the consciousness of Tiandao. The most powerful Tianji master can't compare to Teacher Tiandao himself.
The current situation is that even Teacher Tiandao can't use it, let alone calculate anything.
Seeing Yu Xian suddenly lost in thought, Shu Lao answered the question by himself.
"Yes, back then Yu Xian first asked me how to know the true meaning of the Law of Destruction. When I said I didn't know, he turned to what force in the world is the most destructive. This old man did provide some reference, that is, the power of thunder tribulation.
That is the strongest power of the birth of heaven and earth, it is the majesty of the sky, and it is naturally the most destructive. "
That's true.
After hearing Shu Lao's addition, Yu Xian became more confident about his guess.
The true interpretation of the law was the core treasure used by Yu Xian to refine the dream world. He originally thought that it was destroyed by Yu Xian to resist the catastrophe of ascension.
Now it seems that it is true that Yu Xian wants to ascend, but it is not inconsistent with him to destroy the true solution of the law.
Really understand the rules!
Now Yu Xian is more interested in the true solution to the law that will be available soon.
It might be able to help him get a glimpse of the man behind the human race.
If the hypothesis of the relationship between the true solution of the law and the human behind-the-scenes mastermind is established, then is Tianzun’s strange death related to the human race’s mastermind?
He suddenly died after completing the true solution of the law. Maybe he discovered the clues left by the mastermind in the true solution of the law, just like Yu Xian back then.
But Yu Xian was a figure from five thousand years ago, and the constraints on the masterminds behind the scenes must have been even more severe at that time.
Now that the ten-thousand-year catastrophe is approaching, the mastermind behind the scenes has some spare power to take action.
But Tianzun lived for several years and gave birth to a son. If he discovered any secrets, how could he act so flawlessly?
Then the answer is quite clear.
Tianzun has long become a puppet-like figure, and has even died long ago, so he cannot reveal any information.
If Tianzun was already dead, why did he have to hold on for several more years?
When the question arises, the answer has automatically emerged.
The son of Tianzun - the little guy who incorporates the true solution to the law.
The mastermind behind the scenes wanted to completely hide the true solution to the law, so he specially created such a character.
This little guy may be an important chess piece hidden by the mastermind behind the human race, or even his puppet.
After all, if he hadn't appeared, with this little guy's talent, it wouldn't take long for him to grow into the backbone of the human race. Coupled with the background of his father and mother, it would be possible to inherit the title of Tianzun, and even become the master of the Jiuzunhui.
At that time, the mastermind behind the scenes will be able to control most of the human power effortlessly.
From the beginning to the end, Yu Xian never doubted that Yu Yuan was the mastermind behind the scenes.
It was actually the Demon Emperor who gave him a wrong demonstration, which caused him to fall into a misunderstanding.
In Yu Xian's eyes, the man behind the human race must be the same as the Demon Emperor. He is well hidden now and waiting for the day of escape. How could he give up his power and reincarnate and rebuild.
Entering the game with your own body is the last move that a chess player can make to risk his life.
If you are not careful, you will die midway, without even a chance to regret it.
How could a monk who could cultivate to this point entrust his fate to illusory luck?
Unfortunately, Yu Xian didn't know that one coincidence after another forced Yu Yuan to take the most risky step.
Next, Yu Xian asked many Shu Lao questions about the upper realm.
It's a pity that the old tree only found its owner to perch by chance, just like a tired traveler in the wild who randomly found a pleasant place to rest for a period of time. The information he received was only fragments and not systematic.
However, he did get the name of the upper world, a very popular name - the spiritual world.
The spiritual world is vast and infinite, with thousands of races inhabiting it, fighting endlessly for destiny. In the blink of an eye, countless creatures are extinct and countless creatures are born. It is a paradise for the strong and a hell for the weak.
I nodded silently.
It fits his stereotype of the traditional world of immortality.
If he was really given the whole technology to cultivate immortality and cyber ascension, he still wouldn't be used to it.
But this world of the law of the jungle is just right for the glory of Datong to shine.
The spiritual world is infinite, so it wouldn't be a problem for him to take a few more bites.
I just don’t know if his golden finger can continue to exert force without being discovered by the heaven in the spiritual world.
Yu Xian was thinking about it, wiped the non-existent saliva from the corner of his mouth, and then bowed his hands to Shu Lao.
"I'm sorry for bothering you, senior. I'm very happy to have my senior answer my questions today."
After that, he swiped his finger to the side and pulled back Qingfeng who was angrily cursing Yu Xian many miles away.
"Yuxian, I'm going to be angry!"
Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, but when he saw clearly where he was, he pounced on Yu Xian like an octopus, grabbing, nibbling and scratching.
Yu Xian let her drool all over his face without resisting, since he couldn't break his defense anyway.
But someone almost broke through the defense.
Shu Lao beside him felt his heart was a little paralyzed and almost stopped beating, and his face became darker and darker as he looked.
"Cough cough cough cough!!!"
He coughed lightly at first, then coughed heavily, and finally coughed crazily.
But Qingfeng has always gone her own way.
Not to mention coughing, even if a meteorite falls next to her, she will not be disturbed.
It wasn't until she had vented enough and realized that her efforts were useless that she frantically messed up Yu Xian's hair and said angrily.
"Yuxian, you are so annoying!"
Yu Xian didn't take it seriously and said with a smile:
"Didn't you say that senior sees you kindly, so I brought you here to meet him again."
Qingfeng then turned to look at Shu Lao and muttered.
"Why did grandpa become a big brother?"
Shu Lao first smiled awkwardly, and then looked at Yu Xian.
"Please stay away for a moment."
Yu Xian shrugged indifferently and disappeared.
Qingfeng wanted to catch Yu Xian, but failed, and was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
"Hey, Yu Xian, you just left without saying hello to me!"
"Qinghuang."
Shulao called softly.
Qingfeng said impatiently: "My name is Qingfeng, not Qinghuang."
Probably because Shu Lao seemed quite friendly, he directly accepted her bad mood.
But Shulao was not annoyed. Instead, he became more and more happy as he looked at it, with memories of the vicissitudes of life in his eyes.
Because Qinghuang hadn't shown such lively emotions in front of him for a long time, ever since Qinghuang decided to change the relationship between the human and demon clans, she had plunged herself into endless consumption.
Since then, she seemed to have grown up all of a sudden.
And he knew that none of this would succeed, but he could only accompany her to continue fooling around.
"Okay, Qingfeng, I have a few words to say to you."
Shu Lao thought for a moment, then the figure disappeared, and what appeared instead was an old face on the tree trunk.
Qingfeng sat cross-legged in front of the old man's face, still muttering about Yu Xian's unreliability.
The old man said with an old face: "Yu Xian is not a good match for you. He is ruthless and decisive in killing. If you fall into it, you will regret it for the rest of your life."
Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened, as if he was in disbelief.
"You actually spoke ill of Yu Xian behind his back. Wow, you are miserable. I want to tell Yu Xian that he is very narrow-minded."
The old face said: "..."
The point is this.
He was unable to say anything, and saw the light condensing on the trunk of the tree, which was as strong and knotted as a dragon circling, and a fruit the size of a fist condensed out and landed in front of Qingfeng.
"This is the conversation I had with Yu Xian just now. You can tell by looking at it."
Presumably, when Qingfeng knew that Yu Xian was using her as a hostage, she should be able to identify this person.
Qingfeng caught the fruit, tilted her head and thought about it, then threw it out.
"Don't look at it. I can't beat Yu Xian, so I'll get sulky after looking at it."
The old man was speechless and could only reluctantly persuade:
"In short, he is definitely not a good match."
Qingfeng stood up and said naturally:
"You know how to speak ill of people. Don't I know better than you whether Yu Xian is good to me or not?
Although I don't know what he said, even if he said bad things about me, I wouldn't blame him, because I often say bad things about him behind his back, and sometimes he won't blame me if he catches me.
Being a human being and a demon, being happy is the most important thing. Why bother yourself. "
"Grandpa, you must be lonely living here alone. Sometimes I will come to see you and bring you gifts. But you can't speak ill of Yu Xian. I'm not lying to you. He is People are very narrow-minded.
I won't tell him secretly this time. "
Qingfeng jumped up into the clouds and waved his hand towards Shu Lao.
"Goodbye, grandpa."
The tree old man sighed and watched Qingfeng leave. The huge tree crown trembled and a burst of dead leaves fell.
…
"Yuxian, you actually do such a thing behind my back!"
Qingfeng catches up with Yu Xian who is waiting for her in the distance, takes the lead and raises an army to investigate.
Yu Xian has never been particular about people, so he naturally knows what happened just now.
But at this moment, he was happy to cooperate with Qingfeng in acting, with a look of astonishment on his face.
"What, you actually know everything?"
Qingfeng crossed her arms and looked sideways.
"Huh, now you finally admit it, you have to apologize to me!"
Yu Xian said bitterly: "Okay, I apologize to you, please forgive me."
Qingfeng couldn't hide the pride on his face, like a victorious general on the stage.
"No, I did something wrong and you wanted to punish me, and now you have to be punished by me too."
Yu Xian's tone was pitiful.
"Then don't go too far."
Qingfeng rolled her eyes and said excitedly:
"You quickly turn into a horse. I will ride you back. If you turn into a horse, I will forgive you."
Hearing this, Yu Xian's face straightened and he snorted coldly:
"I gave you three points of color, and you dare to open a dyeing room. You still want to use me as a pawn. Come here."
He grabbed Qingfeng who was about to run away when he saw the situation was bad, threw him over his shoulder, and straddled him on both sides.
"There is no horse, but there is a rickshaw driver."
"Hahaha - drive!"
Qingfeng, who thought she had suffered something bad, turned out to be happy. She held Yu Xian's head, her two white and innocent feet dangling on Yu Xian's chest. Her laughter penetrated the clouds and spread far and wide. (End of chapter)
