Eternal Life: My Millennia in the Jiaofang Division

Master Dongxuan's eyes were intense, obviously eager to know the origin of the two images.

Zhao Mu did not immediately satisfy him, but continued to ask: "Then please tell me why the Ancient Emperor Xingyue disappeared tens of thousands of years ago?"

"Mingzun, have you ever heard of the Four Seas Spiritual Beast Clan?" Master Dongxuan asked.

"Of course I've heard of it."

Zhao Mu nodded: "It is said that there are countless spirit beasts in the four sea areas of the Purple Void Continent. Throughout the ages, the spirit beast clan has invaded the Purple Void Continent countless times and fought fierce battles with humans and monsters."

"The relationship between the two sides can be described as being on the same level as fire and water. It wasn't until Ancient Emperor Xingyue achieved enlightenment as a human being tens of thousands of years ago that he led the human race and demon race to repel the spirit beast race."

"It is said that at that time, Ancient Emperor Xingyue drove countless spiritual beasts out of the distant sea, and used his great supernatural powers to spread a sky-wide fog in the four sea areas."

"The fog in the sky is like a barrier, dividing the four sea areas into the inner sea and the outer sea. The inner sea is the Zixu Continent and the sea areas surrounding the continent."

"And the outer sea is where the spirit beast clan lives. Neither side can go to the other's territory through the fog."

"So since tens of thousands of years ago, the spirit beast clan, which was originally a major problem in the Zixu Continent, has never been able to invade the human race or the demon race."

Master Dongxuan's face was full of pride: "Yes, Ancient Emperor Xingyue established the sky-wide mist to isolate the spirit beast clan, which can be said to be a great achievement for both our human race and the demon race."

"But I'm afraid Mingzun doesn't know that the original plan of the Ancient Emperor Xingyue was to lead the human race and demon race deep into the four seas to completely suppress the spirit beast clan and avoid future troubles."

"But it's a pity that a catastrophe broke out at that time, which disrupted the plans of Ancient Emperor Xingyue, forcing him to set up a sky-wide mist to isolate the spirit beast clan, and then come back to solve the problem."

"You mean, the third wave of evil desires?" Zhao Mu asked.

"That's right, it's the Demonic Wave of Evil Desire."

Master Dongxuan nodded and said: "The Death Demon Realm located in the center of the Purple Void Continent is filled with huge demonic energy. Whenever the demonic energy accumulates to the extreme, it will flow out of the Death Demon Realm, across the endless wasteland, and bring peace to the human race in the four directions. and the demon clan, causing huge disasters.”

"And every time the demonic energy of the Death Demon Realm breaks out, it is called the Demonic Tide of Evil Desire."

"The wave of evil desires and demons that Ancient Emperor Xingyue faced back then was the third time in history. Even with Ancient Emperor Xingyue's strength as a human god, he had to deal with it carefully."

"That's why he had to temporarily let go of the Four Seas Spiritual Beast Clan."

"It is said that many people speculated that the third demonic wave of evil desires may have been detonated in advance by the spirit beast clan in order to contain the Ancient Xingyue Emperor and prevent him from suppressing them with all his strength."

"Of course, this is just a guess. After all, it is not easy to detonate the demonic wave of evil desires in advance. Many people say that the spirit beast clan cannot do such a thing."

"But no matter what, the third wave of evil desires has indeed restrained the energy of Ancient Emperor Xingyue."

Master Dongxuan paused for a moment and continued: "After returning to the Purple Void Continent, the Xingyue Ancient Emperor used great magic power to mobilize the power of the stars to cleanse the entire Purple Void Continent, forcibly washing away the demonic energy in the four major domains and suppressing it. The third wave of evil desires.”

"Afterwards, Ancient Emperor Xingyue believed that the demonic wave of evil desires posed a far greater threat to the Purple Void Continent than the spiritual beasts of the Four Seas, so he entered the Death Demon Realm alone in an attempt to find the real reason for the continuous generation of demonic energy in the Death Demon Realm."

"At that time, the world was just settling down, and all living beings had just escaped from the disaster. Ancient Emperor Xingyue did not want to plunge the Purple Void Continent into chaos again because of his departure, so he announced his retreat to the outside world and did not tell anyone about entering the Demon Realm of Death. "

"But I guess Ancient Emperor Xingyue didn't even think about it. There has been no news from him for three thousand years since he left. Even our disciples of Tianxing Sect at that time thought that their ancestor had been practicing in seclusion in the sect."

"Until one day three thousand years later, a bright divine light suddenly erupted in the central Death Demon Realm, alarming the entire Zixu Continent."

"At that time, everyone was speculating on what was happening in the Demon Realm of Death, and many people were even more afraid, fearing that the fourth wave of evil demons had erupted."

"But fortunately, after the divine light in the Death Demon Realm shone for a long time, it finally dissipated and subsided."

"At the same time, Ancient Emperor Xingyue's artifact, the Xingyue Mirror, suddenly returned to the Tianxing Sect, leaving a message to the seniors in the sect..."

"What are you talking about?" Zhao Mu asked.

"There is great terror...in the Demon Realm!" Master Dongxuan said solemnly.

"Great terror? What great terror?" Zhao Mu was confused.

Master Dongxuan shook his head: "I don't know. What Xingyue Mirror brought back was just that sentence. At the same time, there has been no news from Ancient Emperor Xingyue since then."

Zhao Mu frowned.

Ancient Emperor Xingyue is a human god. Is there anything in this world that he can call terrifying?

Could it be...an immortal?

But the Demon Realm of Death is obviously full of demonic energy, so how can there be immortals?

At this time, Master Dongxuan finally asked: "Ming Zun, can you tell Pindao now the origin of these two images of yours?"

"Can."

Zhao Mu raised his finger and pointed at one of the images: "The stone bridge in this image is located in the desperate cold abyss of the Southern Territory.

"And the shadow of the Taoist priest on the stone bridge contains great power. It has blocked most of the time restrictions from breaking out of the desperate cold abyss, allowing the endless people in the southern land to survive. It can be said to be a great merit."

"Despair of the cold abyss?"

Master Dongxuan frowned slightly: "I have heard of that place. It is said to be an extremely dangerous ruin. How could the shadow of the Ancient Emperor Xingyue appear there?"

"I don't know!"

Zhao Mu shook his head: "The time restriction in the Desperate Cold Abyss is too strong. Even the master dare not step in easily. So I am afraid no one can answer the master's question."

"What about the stone statue? Where did the stone statue come from?" Master Dongxuan asked again.

"The stone statue came from the border between the Endless Wasteland and the Southern Territory. It was picked up by a demon-possessed cultivator from the Southern Territory."

Zhao Mu paused slightly: "Or to be more precise, there was a being who called himself a demon god, who lured the demon-possessed cultivator to the border of the Southern Territory and picked up the stone statue."

"Where is that cultivator now?"

"Dead!"

"Dead?"

Master Dongxuan narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was a little suspicious: "But was it killed by Mingzun himself?"

"No!"

Zhao Mu shook his head: "That cultivator was in the ruins of the Southern Territory, in the ancient galaxy, and was killed by the Wanyu Taoist."

"Wanyu Taoist?"

Master Dongxuan frowned: "I have heard of this name. He is a powerful figure. Although he is not a master, he can fight against the Eternal Saint. Is the stone statue in his hands now?"
