Chapter 535 534 the ancient human Emperor
Since he wanted to exchange for information ...
That would require an equivalent exchange.
This information wasn't a secret anyway, and perhaps a human would come here one day.
Alright!
In Qin shujian's opinion, the chances of anyone coming here were not high.
This was the inner area of the sea.
Moreover, the sea was vast and boundless. Although the sky Mark Island wasn't small, it was like a grain of sand to the entire sea. It wasn't eye-catching at all.
Even if someone was lucky enough to enter the inner regions, they might not be able to find the sky Mark Island.
Moreover, looking at the situation on the sky Mark Island ...
It must have been a long time since an outsider came.
At the very least, no outsiders would come after the heavenly court was destroyed.
Xia Chao was also deep in thought.
After a long while, he sighed. I didn't expect the human race to be so weak. Immortals are gone. Even Celestials can be called emperors.
In his words.
They were filled with disdain for the human Emperor.
Qin shujian smiled in response.
In any case, the other party was disdainful of the human Emperor, not him, so what did it matter?
As for whether the human Sovereign realm would be able to destroy the sky Mark Island, the probability was still quite high.
However, these words ...
Qin shujian wouldn't say it out loud either. He was just ridiculing it in his heart.
The sky Mark Island wasn't strong, but their vision was really high.
However, the more this was the case, the happier Qin shujian was.
The history of the sky Mark Island was longer than he had imagined. He might be able to find out many things he wanted to know from Xia Chao.
Soon after.
Xia Chao looked at Qin shujian and said, "Sir, if you have anything you want to know, feel free to ask. Some things will fade with time. It's better to let others know.
senior, " Qin shujian said, " may I ask what kind of Great Tribulation you're talking about? "
The Tribulation that led to the destruction of the heavenly court.
He was very curious.
The human Emperor and Marquis North cloud should know something, but they were unwilling to say it.
Since he was not willing to say, Qin shujian did not force him to ask.
Now that he had the chance, he could understand more.
Xia Chao suddenly fell into his memories. There seemed to be some fear on his face, but there also seemed to be a faint killing intent. He struggled for a long time before he stopped and then said.
the Great Tribulation originated from the demonic abyss. At that time, all the races were at their peak. The celestial Emperor established the heavenly court and ruled all the races in the world. It was a glory that the world had never seen before.
it was different from the human race today. At that time, the Celestials were also powerful, but they were not the top.
that's because there are still Immortals above the celestial being realm. The strongest among the immortals are the emperors. As for the celestial Thearch, he is above the emperors.
until one day, the demonic abyss opened, and. large number of evil spirits swarmed into the world. They massacred all living creatures and created. demonic disaster. They started an endless battle with the heavenly court and all the races ...
Xia Chao spoke and stopped, as if he was recalling something.
He had lived for far too long.
It was so long ago that many memories had been erased by time.
Qin shujian sat at the side and listened intently.
From Xia Chao's words, he seemed to have seen the golden age of the ten thousand races in the past.
The human race, the demon race, the spirit race, the celestial race ...
Every powerful race had an Emperor.
Some of the weaker races might not have emperors, but they had powerful existences and even Immortals.
At that time, the ten thousand races would be at their peak.
Most of the races were comparable to the current human race. Even the weakest races among the ten thousand races were not much weaker than the current human race.
The strength of the human race lay in the fact that they had the human Emperor, an expert who could kill Almighties.
Without the human Sovereign realm, the human race might not be stronger than the weaker races.
This was because he knew from Xia Chao's mouth that in the past, even the weakest of the ten thousand races had no less than ten Almighty beings.
If Xia Chao didn't say it himself ...
Qin shujian would never believe that the 10000 races of the past would be so glorious. The human race of the past had also been so powerful.
Among the ten thousand races.
The human race was number one.
There was no other reason, it was because the celestial Thearch was a human.
The celestial Thearch was able to intimidate all the races and establish the Supreme heavenly court, so it was understandable that he was the number one powerhouse of all the races.
what? " Qin shujian asked. could it be that even with the powerful abilities of the ten thousand races, they still can't stop the demon abyss? "
"I can't block it!"
Xia Chao shook his head and said, " the evil demons are too strong. The weakest evil demons in the demonic abyss are at the celestial being realm. Besides, they can't be killed at all except for a few methods. If that's all, it's fine.
Among the fiendcelestials in the demonic abyss, the weaker ones were at the seventh-level of celestial realm, while the stronger ones had even reached the immortal realm.
When the demonic abyss first invaded the world, many races were annihilated. After the heavenly court reacted, they organized powerful cultivators to fight against the demonic abyss, but they were still defeated."
Xia Chao sighed.
in fact, before you came, I had already guessed that the heavenly court might have been destroyed, but I still had an illusion in my heart, and I hoped that the kun court would win.
but from the looks of it, heavenly court still failed.
Upon hearing this.
Qin shujian was also silent for a moment. Then, he said, " the heavenly court isn't considered a failure. At least, there are no more evil demons wreaking havoc in the world today.
that's right. The heavenly court didn't lose, and neither did the other races.
"The evil spirit was still forced to retreat."
Xia Chao's murky eyes glowed with a bright light, and a carefree smile appeared on his face.
However, from the wrinkles on his skin, his smile was a little creepy.
Qin shujian said, " may I ask who you are, senior? why do you know so much about the heavenly court? I'm afraid that millions of years have passed since the ancient times.
"A million years? Maybe!"
Xia Chao muttered to himself before shaking his head. He looked at Qin shujian and said seriously, ""I'm surnamed Xia!"
Qin shujian's face was filled with question marks.
And then?
Your surname is Xia, what does that mean?
Xia Chao shook his head and sighed when he saw Qin shujian's expression. it seems like the heavenly court has been destroyed for a long time. No one even knows the name of Xia.
"Uh, I'm lacking in knowledge, I hope senior doesn't blame me."
"Alright!" After Xia Chao said this, his hunched back suddenly straightened a little and he said seriously, ""The human Emperor of the past was named Emperor Xia!"
Emperor Xia!
Qin shujian's pupils contracted.
He finally understood why Xia Chao would have such an attitude when he mentioned his surname. It turned out that he was a descendant of the ancient human Emperor.
It was no wonder that the other party could know so much information.
"In the past, Emperor Xia had 15 sons. The last one was named Yue Chao!" Xia Chao continued.
Named "nest"?
Xia, Xia Chao?
Qin shujian was puzzled for a moment. Then, his expression changed drastically as he looked at Xia Chao.
The Xia nest!
Could it be that the other party was the son of the former human Emperor, a direct blood relative?
impossible. It's been millions of years since the ancient times, and the lifespan of Devas is only 7000 years. How could it be, how could it be ...
Qin shujian was truly shocked.
His first reaction was that Xia Chao was lying to him.
However, when he saw the calm expression on the other party's face and the dense aura of decay on his body, Qin shujian was a little uncertain.
He really was the human Emperor's son!
Was the person sitting in front of him an old antique who had lived for who knew how many years?
However ...
Qin shujian couldn't believe that the Xia nest could live for tens of millions of years.
If that was the case, how could he be a mere Deva?
Thinking of this ...
Qin shujian could not help but use his Dharma Eye to look at Xia Chao.
Immediately, Xia Chao's attributes appeared in his sight.
When he saw this.
ten levels of celestial realm? " Qin shujian was shocked. ten levels of celestial realm!
The tenth level of celestial realm was the peak of Almighty.
In other words, the other party was an expert at the peak of Deva realm and was only one step away from breaking through to the immortal realm.
However, looking at Xia Chao's current state, he was afraid that he only had the cultivation of the tenth level of celestial realm, but did not have the corresponding strength.
At least ...
Qin shujian did not sense any threat from the other party.
Xia Chao looked into Qin shujian's eyes, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. However, he didn't get angry."I've never heard of your methods, but it's not a good thing to spy on others."
Qin shujian immediately came to his senses and apologized, ""Senior, please don't blame me. I couldn't hold back for a moment."
"Forget it, I don't have anything worth hiding."
Xia Chao shook his head and smiled bitterly. he's just a half-dead celestial being cultivator. I guess this is the only way! he said.
please forgive me for being presumptuous, " Qin shujian said. I'd like to ask you something. With your realm, how did you manage to survive from the ancient times until now? "
"Could it be that ... There really is a way to live forever in this world?"
He asked a question that any normal person would ask.
He had lived since ancient times.
No matter how good Qin shujian's state of mind was, he could not suppress the shock in his heart.
If the news were to spread, everyone in the world would probably go crazy.
At that time.
Even if the inner regions of the sea were extremely dangerous, there would still be an endless stream of people who would explore this place.
This was because the temptation of immortality was too great.
In that instant, Qin shujian had the urge to obtain the secret of Xia Chao's immortality.
However, he quickly suppressed this impulse.
Immortality was good, but there was definitely a price to pay.
Looking at Xia Chao's appearance, one could tell.
If there really wasn't a price to pay, why would the other party be wandering around the tenth level of Deva realm? or rather, it was so difficult to break through to the immortal realm that he didn't have a chance to succeed even after millions of years.
Qin shujian did not know, and he was not sure.
He knew quite a lot, but that was only relatively speaking.
Compared to Xia Chao, he really knew too little.
Qin shujian was struggling internally. Xia Chao was also watching him.
After he let go of the impulse in his heart, Xia Chao smiled slightly and said, ""There is no such thing as true immortality in this world. The so-called immortality all comes with a price."
what you need to know is that you have to pay the corresponding price for anything you get.
I've lived from the ancient times until now, and the price is that I can never break through my current realm. I can never leave this Hall, and my body will continue to age.
Xia Chao's tone was inexplicable.
There was a price to pay for immortality.
As the son of Emperor Xia, how could he be weak?
When Qin shujian heard this, he thought to himself,'as expected.'
Xia Chao glanced at him and then continued, ""The demonic abyss invaded, and all the races were defeated. In the past, the human Emperor was afraid that the human race's inheritance would be cut off, so he asked me to take a part of the human race overseas to preserve our Foundation.
The demon race and the spirit race among the ten thousand races also had the same idea, and the three races hit it off.
After that, each of them split up a small portion of their forces and headed overseas. In the end, they found the sky Mark Island and settled down here."
It seemed that Xia Chao had not spoken for many years.
Perhaps it was because he had kept these things in his heart for too long that he had the urge to tell Qin shujian everything now that he had met him.
"The human Emperor once said that if the ten thousand races defeat the demons, he will issue a new edict to bring us back. If the ten thousand races are defeated by the demons, then we will be the last bloodline of the human, monster, and spirit races.
The three of us have been waiting day and night for the message from the Three Sovereigns since we came to sky Mark Island.
"However, we waited for a long time and still didn't see anything. Only the battle continued. Even if we were hiding overseas, we could still clearly sense it.
Until one day, I seemed to see the heavenly court fall. The world was shaking, the sky was howling in anger, and the blood rain poured for three years ..."
Xia Chao seemed to have returned to that scene in the past.
His eyes were filled with fear, and his tone became more anxious, ""We know that there's a great battle going on outside, and we can also feel that some powerful beings are dying. Human emperors, demon emperors, spirit emperors-the emperors of all races are dying, and so are the immortals of the heavenly court.
We wanted to fight, but we had no choice, because the sky Mark Island is the last hope and inheritance of the three clans."
"We've been waiting this entire time, waiting for the summons of the Three Sovereigns. We hope that the ten thousand races will ultimately emerge victorious."
however, a thousand years have passed, three thousand years have passed, five thousand years have passed, and there has been no news from the three clans.
we thought that the heavenly court had been defeated and the world had turned into demonic land, but there was only a glimmer of hope left. Thus, we kept the inheritance from being destroyed and waited for our Emperor to send someone to receive us again.
After hearing these words.
Qin shujian could somewhat understand Xia Chao's thoughts. There was still a glimmer of hope that had never been extinguished. Even after hundreds of millions of years, he had never forgotten it.
But now, he brought the news of the destruction of the heavenly court and the retreat of the evil demons to the demonic abyss.
To a certain extent, he could be considered to have resolved the other party's obsession.
All of a sudden.
Qin shujian was stunned again. He looked at Xia Chao with a strange expression.
He had resolved his obsession, but the other party wouldn't hang up after saying a few words, right?
If that was really the case, then it would be a great deal of fun.
Qin shujian thought about the seniors and experts he had heard of in the past. It seemed like they would die immediately after they finished speaking.
Xia Chao didn't know what Qin shujian was thinking. He said, " in order to preserve the inheritance, someone chose a forbidden technique and fused himself with the Dao artifact, transforming himself into a different Artifact Spirit that existed in the world for eternity.
Countless years have passed, and I thought that no human would ever come again. I didn't expect you to come today."
A forbidden art!
It could merge with the Dao artifact!
Qin shujian's last bit of hope for immortality was extinguished when he heard this.
He finally knew the reason why Xia Chao did not die.
It was because he had turned himself into an Artifact Spirit that he had been able to survive until now.
After all, as long as a doctrine artifact was not destroyed, it could exist with heaven and earth forever. Xia Chao's approach was actually another form of eternal life.
However, this was definitely not what Qin shujian wanted.
To be imprisoned by a Dao artifact forever, unable to leave, and having his cultivation base stuck at the same place, there was no difference between this and drinking poison to quench thirst.
After finding out about the Xia nest and the great Tribulation of the ancient times ...
Qin shujian also understood one thing. It was why the human Emperor and Marquis northcloud had been avoiding talking about the great calamity in the devil abyss.
It was because he really couldn't say it out loud.
If the human race knew that the ten thousand races and the heavenly court, which were hundreds and thousands of times stronger than the current human race, couldn't resist the demonic abyss ...
Then, what was originally meant to encourage and unite the human race would directly crush the morale of the entire human race.
When the Tribulation was too strong to resist, it was normal to collapse.
He thought about how he had trained hard for hundreds or thousands of years, making full preparations, and then someone told him to wash up and go to sleep. It was useless. No matter how much preparation he made, it would never succeed.
It would be a devastating blow to these people.
At the same time.
Qin shujian was rather impressed with the human Emperor.
Obviously, the other party was not willing to die in the hands of the evil demons.
Feigning death to unite the human race, eliminating hidden dangers, and connecting the three major continents were all preparations to resist the demonic abyss.
perhaps this is why the human ruler didn't stop Yuan zongzi from advancing!
Qin shujian had also figured out another thing.
The demonic abyss was so powerful.
Every increase in the human race's strength was a capital to resist the demonic abyss.
Qin shujian took a few deep breaths.
Then, he looked at Xia Chao and asked seriously, ""I also have a few things I would like to ask senior."
"You say it!"
"Senior, have you heard of the four great continents?"
"Four great continents?"
"The East Videha continent, the West aparagodya continent, the South jambu continent, and the North Kuru continent." Qin shujian described the four great continents that he remembered.
Xia Chao pondered for a moment, trying to find something in the dissipated memory.
After a few minutes, he came back to his senses and shook his head."I've never heard of the four continents you mentioned."
When Qin shujian heard this, he didn't know if he was feeling disappointed or some other emotion.
Xia Chao had never heard of the four great continents.
Then the four great continents he knew of might really be different from the four great continents he knew now.
However ...
Qin shujian did not give up completely. He asked again, ""In that case, has senior heard of the flower-fruit mountain?"
"There are many mountains in the world. I can't remember if there is a flower-fruit mountain."
"Are there any mountain peaks in the sea?"
"How could there be a mountain in the sea of death? there are only a few scattered islands. These islands were formed by the land that was destroyed by the great battle in the past."
Xia Chao shook his head, his expression a little awkward.
Initially, he thought that his knowledge would be able to answer Qin shujian's questions.
In the end, the other party asked a few questions that he had never heard of.
If Xia Chao didn't know how to read people's expressions and knew that Qin shujian wasn't spouting nonsense, he would have thought that Qin shujian was making things up on the spot.
senior, " Qin shujian asked, " in that case, have you heard of The Great Sage, Heaven's Equal, Sun Wukong? "
"The Great Sage, Heaven's Equal, what big words!"
In Xia Chao's turbid eyes, a ray of light flickered and he said, " even the emperors of the ten thousand races don't dare to call themselves heaven's equal. Who is this person to have such a title? "
Fine, the other party didn't know.
Qin shujian was speechless.
However, looking at Xia Chao's expression, he still said, ""It's just hearsay. Maybe there's no such person at all."
"I see. I was wondering when there would be someone who dared to stand on equal footing with the heavens. You should know that the heavenly Emperor is Supreme, and no one has ever been able to stand on equal footing with him."
Xia Chao nodded in agreement.
The celestial Emperor was the most powerful one. No one in the ten thousand races was more powerful than the celestial Emperor, not even his father.
Even the great Xia Emperor did not dare to call himself heaven's equal, so what kind of person would dare to call himself the great sage heaven's equal?
Qin shujian couldn't be bothered to argue with the other party. However, Xia Chao's words made him think of something.
"I wonder what the celestial Thearch's name was?"
"How can others know the celestial Thearch's name?" Xia Chao was a little displeased.
what's the celestial Thearch's honorific title? " Qin shujian asked.
"The two words" heavenly Emperor "is an honorific title, what other honorific titles are there?" Xia Chao looked at him strangely. After thinking for a while, he said, ""However, I've heard Emperor Xia say that the celestial Thearch's surname seems to be Qin.
As for Qin something, I'm not too sure."
At this point.
Xia Chao smiled and said, " your surname is also Qin. You're lucky to have the same surname as the heavenly Emperor. Perhaps you also have the bloodline of the heavenly Emperor.
The bloodline of the celestial Emperor?
Qin shujian smiled awkwardly and said,"senior, you must be joking." &Nbsp;
He had no interest in finding himself an ancestor.
If the celestial Thearch still had power, it would be fine. Perhaps he could take advantage of this opportunity to gain some power. But now, the heavenly court was gone, and most of the myriad races were dead.
Even if he were to put on the title of a descendant of the heavenly Emperor, it would not benefit him at all.
Qin shujian didn't intend to ask any more questions as he looked at Xia Chao, who was in front of him.
The other party was clueless. After chatting for so long, they didn't know much other than the ancient Great Tribulation and the celestial Thearch's surname.
Just as he was about to end the conversation.
Qin shujian thought of something and asked, ""Senior, have you heard of the pursuers?"
He had asked Xu Yuanming to investigate the pursuers, but there was no news at all.
This way.
Qin shujian couldn't help but wonder if the pursuers had also existed in ancient times.
It just so happened that there was an ancient living fossil here, so he could ask about it.
He thought about it again.
He shook his head again.
I've never heard of the pursuers either, " Xia Chao said. it seems that I can't give you a satisfactory answer to many of your doubts. I'm sorry to disappoint you.
He would be lying if he said he wasn't disappointed.
However, Qin shujian at least knew that the flowerfruit mountain didn't exist in the sea. The four major continents weren't the four major continents he had thought they were.
But from the inaudibility of the word 'Pangu'. ..
He also felt that this world matched some of the information he had in mind.
senior, " Qin shujian said, " now that you know that the demons have retreated, do you have any plans to lead the various races on the sky Mark Island back to the human territory? "
His words were also meant to probe.
Xia Chao sighed, shook his head and said, ""If you were here a few hundred thousand years ago, I would have allowed the various races on the sky Mark Island to return to their former territories. But now, a few hundred thousand years have passed, and the living beings on the island have already taken root here.
It might not be a good thing to leave."
Moreover, he knew that the evil spirits had retreated, and the obsession in his heart had also been eliminated. There was no need to be too persistent in some things.
