Ruins of the past

Taixu Taoist Ancestor slowly floated in front of Chu Qiguang, his eyes seemed to contain the infinite mysteries of the birth and death of the universe and the movement of the Tao.

At this moment, Chu Qiguang had the illusion that his whole body was being seen through by the other party.

At the same time, this is also the first time that Chu Qiguang has observed Taixu Daozu at such a close distance.

Although the other party had a beautiful female face, which seemed to have all the beauties in the world gathered on it, Chu Qiguang felt only an endless coldness and a loneliness like the vacuum of the universe.

At the same time, Taixu Daozu's cold voice sounded again: "Although you are no longer the original Chu Qiguang."

"But later on you will understand that this is part of the cycle."

"Now that the cycle has started, whether you are opposed or supportive, you will eventually be caught up in it and become a help to complete the cycle..."

"Let's go, it's not time to open it yet."

Chu Qiguang felt his body being pulled again, and the light and shadow around him twisted and changed, as if it had become long and thick noodles.

"You mean cycle?"

"Isn't this the first time?"

"Are you constantly turning back time and expanding your assets?"

He tried his best to ask his question: "Use time and space as leverage to leverage the assets of the Xudao Palace... What if it fails?"

"What happens if you lose money?"

"What will happen if the cycle of time stops?"

When Chu Qiguang came back to his senses, he had already returned to the study, and Daxu Daozu's final response remained in his mind.

"The consequences of failure...you don't want to know."

Recalling what the other party said, Chu Qiguang thought to himself: ‘Don’t you want to know? It doesn't look like a good outcome, right? ’

‘Sure enough, there are risks as long as leverage is added... ’

‘And the greater the leverage, the greater the risk. ’

‘Using 100 years of the entire universe as a lever, what kind of disaster will failure lead to? ’

Various possibilities flashed through Chu Qiguang's mind.

However, his understanding and research on time and space are only at the beginning level, and he has not yet reached the level of being able to go back a hundred years.

Although he had various speculations in his mind, he didn't know which one was true.

'But no matter what... the result will definitely not be good. ’

Next, Chu Qiguang tried to open the restrictions in the bookshelf again, and found that they were all ineffective.

The next day, Taixu Daozu issued a new process, asking him to disperse resources according to the above method, then gather them in secret and deliver them to the designated location.

‘Do you want to continue? ’

Chu Qiguang naturally decided to continue.

After all, under the banner of the Nine Blessings of Heaven and Man, he could openly read the various classics collected in the Xu Dao Palace and learn the most advanced knowledge in the universe.

However, the knowledge of Xu Dao Palace is vast. It took Chu Qiguang more than half a year to learn most of the general knowledge in the universe and understand the nine blessings of heaven and man.

Which knowledge should be prioritized in the next limited time is also a trade-off.

‘Sure enough…it’s probably the Nine Disasters from Heaven and Man. ’

Chu Qiguang touched his chin and thought: 'The martial arts and Taoist systems of the Han world come from "Secrets of the Purple Mansion". ’

'The "Secrets of the Purple Mansion" and the Nine Disasters of Heaven and Man are both systems written by Ji Wufan. ’

‘The Nine Disasters of Heaven and Man are the last millennium plan of Xu Dao Palace... That should be the greatest help to me. ’

Thinking of this, Chu Qiguang rarely opened the study door and walked out.

What appeared in front of him were towering mountains, with mist lingering in them, rolling back and forth like a sea of ​​clouds.

Chu Qiguang's study is located in the undulating mountains of Dragon Snake.

However, he has been here at Xudao Palace for half a year, and he has some understanding of the structure of this place.

From the perspective of the material universe, the location of the Xu Dao Palace is just a planet located in the Xu Abyss.

There are tens of billions of humans living on it, and there are bustling cities in the sky, underground, in the sea, and even on the satellites and super giant magic weapons surrounding the planet.

Among them, there are 108 Dao Meridians, 72 Dao Ancestors and other higher-level Taoist temples, shops, offices and other industries.

But in fact, this is just the tip of the iceberg of Xu Dao Palace.

The entire Xudao Palace is not just a single planet or star system, but a gathering of countless spaces.

Different spaces similar to the Buddhist world meet here, forming the superposition of countless worlds.

Because any monk who reaches the realm of immortality in the Xudao Palace system will gradually master the Taoist techniques to open up a different space.

A small alien space may only be able to accommodate a city of hundreds of thousands of people, while the largest alien space is far beyond the Buddha Realm and can even accommodate an entire galaxy.

Over the years, generations of immortals and gods in the Xudao Palace were born and died, and the Xudao Palace controlled more and more different spaces.

These different spaces became worlds and finally converged here.

It is said that there are currently 48,000 in the upper realm and 329,000 in the lower realm.

Sometimes a Daozu's medicine garden occupies a whole world, with countless people working in it, forming a unique world of medicine.

For most mortals, there are often only two or three spaces that they have permission to enter, and most people live in one of these worlds throughout their lives.

And even the immortal gods in heaven, and even the top beings who have mastered the power of creation, may not have visited all the worlds occupied by the Xudao Palace.

Chu Qiguang, who is in charge of the Nine Blessings of Heaven and Man, has similar authority to Dao Ancestor. He can enter most of the world occupied by Xu Dao Palace as long as he chants the incantation.

…

Xudao Palace, Sutra Storehouse.

This is a world filled with books.

The clouds, rivers, soil, rocks... and even the air in this world are full of flashing words and knowledge.

Every heavy rain, every strong wind, every snowfall...will bring a spurt of knowledge.

As one of the highest forbidden areas in Xu Dao Palace, a large amount of forbidden knowledge and history are stored here.

Even the information related to the Millennium Plan of Xudao Palace in the past has been backed up in the scripture library.

In this quiet world, a black door suddenly appeared and opened, and Chu Qiguang's figure walked out.

He said: "Book Fairy, come out."

A burst of white mist swept across, and lines of text flashed in the air: "Oh... I'm really surprised that someone would visit this ghost place."

"So, what do you have to do?"

Chu Qiguang said: "I want to check the relevant information on the nine disasters of heaven and man."

The strong wind swept by, and the fallen leaves formed a strange font: "It's really interesting. In this forgotten era, are there still people pursuing the taboo truth?"

"But taboos become taboos because those who explore often end up in disgrace."

"So... do you still insist on watching?"

Chu Qiguang said: "Bring them all to me."

The wind and clouds in the sky changed and turned into a heavy rain falling. The words in the rain flashed: "I can't listen."

"Then there's no way."

"Take it, this is a taboo from the past."

After Chu Qiguang felt the rain falling on his body, a large number of words, information, images... continued to appear in his mind.

'The Nine Disasters of Heaven and Man, led by Ji Wufan, have integrated the profound Taoist arts of the nine major sects in an attempt to create a magical Taoist power that can be promoted by the whole people...'

The initial progress of the Nine Calamities of Heaven and Man is very gratifying. By converting human laziness, ugliness, and poverty into usable resources, unprecedented miracles have been created.

But the subsequent research progress gradually made the senior officials of Xu Dao Palace, especially the 72nd Dao Ancestor, feel out of control.

Under the auspices of Ji Wufan, the Nine Disasters of Heaven and Man were divided into ten levels of divine maps. Each level of divine maps allowed the user to master a certain kind of power.

The first three levels of lazy pictures, poor pictures, and ugly pictures mainly enhance the user's quality and cultivation efficiency. The lazier, the uglier, the poorer...the stronger.

The following bad plans, foolish plans, and greed began to have the ability to change luck, reduce wisdom, and create things out of thin air.

What surprised Chu Qiguang even more was the subsequent crazy pictures, crazy pictures, and angry pictures.

"The crazy Experiment No. 32 secretly planned the escape, and the dependents it produced caused widespread biological distortion."

"At that time, several leaders of the twelve departments of Heaven... were all affected by the madness during an observation, and became dependents of Experimental Subject No. 32..."

"Under their cover, a large number of immortals and gods in heaven have secretly become dependents of Experimental Subject No. 32, crazily worshiping the twisted monster."

"When the Seventy-Two Dao Ancestors discovered this anomaly, more than two hundred immortals and gods had been infected..."

"The Taoist ancestors had to secretly eliminate these infected gods..."

Chu Qiguang looked at the records and had to sigh at the cruelty.

In the cultivation system of Xu Dao Palace, mortals can transform into beings called immortals or righteous gods through step-by-step cultivation.

The most powerful beings among these immortal gods can often smash the stars and tear apart the sun and the moon with just a thought. They all hold important positions in the heaven and are the ruling class in the universe under the seventy-two Taoist ancestors.

Chu Qiguang is currently unable to cross the void to verify his combat performance here.

But he thinks he should be at the level of immortals and gods, but he doesn't know which level he is at among immortals and gods.

But for such a powerful and rare immortal god, more than two hundred people died in a crazy experiment.

Chu Qiguang shook his head and continued to read the content below, about the catastrophic experiment on the eighth floor.

‘The mad disaster experimental subject lost control, resulting in a level 12 major accident…’

‘Continuous void leakage triggers massive distortion phenomena and continuously projects high void pulse matter into the material world…’

'In just one hundred years, the entire Tianmen Galaxy was reduced to a dead place...'

Next are the various experimental records of Anger.

What surprised Chu Qiguang the most... was that one of the experiments went out of control and actually led to the death of a Taoist ancestor.

As for the information on the tenth level, even Chu Qiguang did not have permission to access it.

It can only be seen that in the end, Xu Dao Palace decided to seal the eighth, ninth, and tenth levels of divine maps among the nine disasters of heaven and man, and prohibit the spread of these three levels of divine maps.

‘Although it is dangerous, it is also a success. ’

Chu Qiguang continued to read. According to the above records, it seemed that the sealing of the last three levels of the divine map caused Ji Wufan's dissatisfaction.

In the end, Ji Wufan took away the final results of the nine disasters of heaven and man and disappeared into the universe.

The Xudao Palace lost the research results of the Nine Disasters of Heaven and Man, leaving only some phased results, and had to admit the complete failure of this thousand-year plan.

‘What a pity, it seems that the inheritance of the Nine Disasters of Heaven and Man can no longer be found in Xu Dao Palace? ’

Chu Qiguang touched his chin and thought in his mind: 'But since Ji Wufan can preside over the development of the Nine Disasters of Heaven and Man, he should spend a lot of time in Xu Dao Palace, and the projects he has passed should not only involve the Nine Disasters of Heaven and Man, right? ’

Next, Chu Qiguang began to check all the records related to Ji Wufan.

'The 22nd Exploration of Void Pulse...'

'Tiandao packaging improvement plan...'

'Sixty-four hexagrams development plan...'

'Tianyan experiment report meeting...'

Chu Qiguang felt like he was following Ji Wufan's footsteps, reviewing the work he had done in Xudao Palace step by step.

Among them are the development of Taoist techniques that utilize void pulses, research that affects the movement of heaven, exploration of changes in time and space, and the Tianyan experiment that Ji Wufan paid attention to last.

"...We discovered some life forms that can adapt to the void pulse...we selected the most powerful ones and brought them back. Most of the rest were exterminated in the void disaster..."

"We named them Tianyan beasts..."

When he saw the information on the Tianyan experiment, Chu Qiguang's eyes narrowed slightly. The various tests on the Tianyan beast made him feel a little familiar.

In the last few years before Ji Wufan left Xu Dao Palace, this Tianyan experiment was focused on by him many times.

"Tianyan beast..." Chu Qiguang began to inquire about the current person in charge of this project: "Huangji Tianjun?"

When he returned to the study the next day, Chu Qiguang asked unconsciously: "Chu Yu, do you know where Huangji Tianjun is currently?"

Chu Yu said listlessly: "Huangji Tianjun? As for Tianjun, he should be the leader of one of the twelve branches of Tianting, right?"

"But I clearly remember the names of the Twelve Heavenly Lords. It seems that there is no such Emperor Ji Heavenly Lord..."

"Why don't you ask the Supreme Master? He might know."

…

The Supreme Taoist Master saw Chu Qiguang in front of him and said, "Huangji Tianjun...where did you know this name?"

"He has left Xuyuan for a long time, so it is normal that many people don't know his name."

Chu Qiguang asked: "What did he do? Conduct experiments on Tianyan beast?"

Taishang Daozun tilted his head and said with a smile: "It seems that you have checked Huangji Tianjun? Are you very interested in Tianyan Beast?"

"Huangji Tianjun reported the discovery of the Tianyan beast. It is said that it is a creature that has adapted to the pulse of the void."

"If it is true as he said, when these Celestial Beasts grow up, they may easily gain power that is not weaker than that of immortal gods."

"However, according to subsequent investigations, the Tianyan Beast is far less powerful than Huangji Tianjun said. The Dao Ancestors believe that the Tianyan Beast does not have much research value, and no one in the upper echelons of Xudao Palace pays attention to Huangji Tian. Have you done your research?"

"However, according to one of my senior brothers, Huangji Tianjun is not convinced by the judgment of the Taoist ancestors, and continues to conduct experiments related to the Tianyan beast on a distant planet."

Chu Qiguang's eyes moved slightly and said, "Where is that planet?"

"Let's go over and take a look."

"I'm very interested in this Tianyan beast."

Sorry, I'm still a little stuck and my writing efficiency is very slow.
