Mortal Bones

Open the bronze box.

A piece of jade pendant and a seal were lying there quietly.

After seeing the contents of the bronze box clearly, Xu Taiping raised his head in confusion and looked at his junior aunt Lu Rushuang.

"Pick it up and take a look."

Lu Rushuang pointed to the jade pendant.

Xu Taiping nodded, reached into the bronze box and picked up the jade pendant.

After acquiring this jade pendant, Xu Taiping felt his soul inexplicably feel at peace.

He didn't expect that this jade pendant, which looked unattractive in appearance, had the effect of focusing one's mind.

Xu Taiping turned the jade pendant over, and a look of horror appeared in his eyes.

I saw that the words engraved on the jade pendant were exactly——

"Tai Xuan Sect, head disciple, Lu Rushuang."

Xu Taiping, who felt his scalp was numb, slowly raised his head and asked the young aunt in disbelief:

"Senior Sister, could this Taixuan Sect be the ruins of Yunmengze Immortal Mansion?"

Hearing this, Lu Rushuang also felt a little surprised, so she immediately asked:

"Taiping, have you ever heard of Taixuanmen?"

Xu Taiping thought about it carefully, and then briefly told Lu Rushuang about his trip to the Yunmengze ruins and the discovery of the corpse of a Taixuan Sect disciple turned into a ghost in the cellar.

"I see, it turns out that senior brother has already made arrangements."

After Lu Rushuang listened to Xu Taiping's story, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"Sister Aunt, what is the relationship between our Qingxuan Sect and Taixuan Sect?"

Xu Taiping glanced at the jade pendant in his hand, and then asked bluntly.

"This is a secret that only Qingxuan's disciples of each generation can know."

Lu Rushuang took the jade pendant and sighed, then looked up at Xu Taiping and continued:

"The original inheritance of our Qingxuan Sect is the Taixuan Sect in the Sumeru Realm. But as you can see in the cellar, the Taixuan Sect was destroyed overnight because of the Taixuan Calamity. Destroyed by some strange force."

"The way of destruction is not just as simple as killing sect disciples."

"Rather, we will completely wipe out the Taixuan Sect from the Sumeru Realm, including all traces of the Mountain Gate Hall, Sutra Tower, and so on."

"Only a small part was preserved by the five elders of Taixuan Sect at that time, that is, the five elders of our Qingxuan Sect, at a very painful price."

"The preserved part is the ruins of the Immortal Mansion that you saw in Yunmeng Ze."

"But even so, the preserved part of this place still cannot escape the curse of Taixu Calamity. Within a hundred years, corpse energy will continue to arise in that land, and both elders and disciples will turn into corpse ghosts."

"As a last resort, the Five Elders drove this homeland into the void and sealed it completely."

"But because this homeland has the foundation of Taixuan Sect's inheritance, after the Five Elders moved their sect to Zhenwutian, they borrowed the innate formation in Yunmengze and built a teleportation formation connected to it. So that disciples can enter it and gain inheritance.”

"And this is what became Yunmengze, the secret realm of Zhenwutian."

"But since then, the secrets about Taixuan Sect's past have been sealed by the Five Elders with spells. Only the disciples of the past generations are qualified to know."

"Later, even if the Yunmengze Secret Realm was occupied by other sects, the Five Elders never sent anyone to take it back."

"According to them, the more completely you forget, the safer the inheritance of Taixuan Sect will be."

Speaking of this, Lu Rushuang paused for a moment, took out the seal with his name engraved on it from the bronze box, and then continued: "And I, as well as Senior Brother Jianjiu and Senior Brother Zhou Ang, are the Taixuan of this generation. The head of the sect teaches his disciples.”

After listening to the little aunt's story, Xu Taiping was speechless.

Although Fairy Lingyue had long suspected that the predecessor of Qingxuan Sect might be a large sect.

But Xu Taiping never imagined that the predecessor of Qingxuan Sect was actually Taixuan Sect in Xumi Realm.

However, after confirming this, a lot of doubts in his mind about that trip to Yunmengze were solved.

"Little Senior Sister, you mentioned earlier that the Fifth Elder paid a very heavy price to preserve the inheritance of Taixuan Sect. Is this price related to the Youxuan Devil's Cave?"

After thinking seriously for a long time, Xu Taiping suddenly raised his head and asked the young aunt.

He knew that the young master's aunt decided to tell all this after seeing the moon shadow stone given by Su Chan, which must have been her intention.

"you guessed right."

The junior aunt gave Xu Taiping a very appreciative look.

She just mentioned it, but unexpectedly Xu Taiping saw the clues keenly.

Lu Rushuang took a sip of water, and then continued:

"There are not many people who know about Taixuan Sect's Taixu Calamity, but not none, such as the Human Emperor of the Three Realms who had not ascended at that time, and the great emperors of all the worlds in the Three Realms."

"But neither party wants to be contaminated by the Taixu Calamity. The Human Emperor of the Sumeru Realm even cut off the entire Taixuan Sect from the Sumeru Realm with one sword, cutting off all causes and effects."

"And when Taixuanmen was completely desperate, Emperor Zhenwu accepted Taixuanmen despite the opposition of the Human Emperor of the Shangqing Realm."

"But as a price, the disciples of the Taixuan Sect lineage must guard the Youxuan Devil's Cave in place of Zhenwutian for generations to come. Now it seems that this is an oath and a curse."

"But for the Taixuanmen lineage at that time, it was simply a gift."

"So since then, including the Five Elders, almost all the heads of the Taixuan Sect have died while guarding the Youxuan Demon Cave."

"At that time, many ancestors who had the hope of ascending to heaven resolutely entered the Youxuan Demon Cave in order to fulfill their oaths. During this long period of time, no Taixuan disciple who entered the Youxuan Demon Cave came out alive."

"Once the Five Heavens and Earth thought that the Youxuan Demon Cave had been completely destroyed by the Great Emperor Zhenwu and was a paradise in the Shangqing Realm. But little did they know that if there were no disciples of my Taixuan Sect guarding the Youxuan Demon Cave from generation to generation, how could there be such a paradise?"

"I am not complaining about the injustice of heaven. After all, if the Great Emperor Zhenwu had not taken the risk to accept it, the inheritance of the Taixuan Sect would probably have disappeared from the Three Realms."
