#2810 - He himself is a myth and a legend!
The elders spoke with Jun Wuxie for a long time, repeatedly giving him instructions.
They specifically reminded him to be cautious if he sensed any areas with abnormal spatial fluctuations, not to rush in, but to observe from a concealed position first.
They indicated that places with abnormal spatial fluctuations might be connected to the underground world, with possible passages existing.
That area could be very dangerous, and a large number of those creatures might appear.
“However, you don’t need to worry too much.
Although that alien space world is adjacent to the Land of Forgotten, creatures with too high a cultivation realm will not appear.
We have sensed abnormal fluctuations in the Land of Forgotten recently, but for such a long time, they have not set foot in our world.
This indicates that they currently do not want to directly confront us head-on.
Currently, their activities are at most sending out a group of low-realm individuals to probe.
We have arranged for True Inheritance disciples to provide support from behind as a precaution, which can reduce the risks.
We elders are stationed in Forgotten Town for the same reason.
Once their powerful individuals participate in the disciples' battles, our major orthodoxies will strike them with thunderous force!
This time, in addition to the competition between the various orthodoxies, it is also to give you disciples a good training opportunity.
The end of the world is approaching, perhaps in a hundred years, perhaps in several hundred years, but the darkest and most desperate era is about to arrive.
Before that, you must experience cruel struggles and grow in adversity.
Only then will you be able to better face the dark creatures in the future.
The horror of those dark creatures is beyond imagination.
Not to mention fighting, many people feel fear upon seeing dark creatures and sensing their dark aura, so how can they fight!”
“The end of the world… Have the elders experienced the darkness before?”
Jun Wuxie pretended to know nothing and asked casually.
Upon hearing this question, the facial muscles of the elders twitched a few times, their lips trembled, and they hesitated to speak.
He saw that the elders' eyes changed, suddenly becoming extremely weathered, carrying an indescribable sense of悲凉 (sorrow and desolation).
In an instant, their eyes turned red.
Several elders, in high positions, usually exuded a faint air of dignity.
At this moment, they looked like sad ordinary old men, their eyes filled with tears.
When asked if they had experienced the darkness before, it was unknown what they were thinking of at this moment that would cause them to be like this.
One of the elders was the first to react, realizing that he had lost his composure, and hurriedly nudged the two people next to him with his elbow.
“The past suddenly flooded into our minds, we have lost some composure, making you young people laugh…
They quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of their eyes.
Although they pretended to be calm, Jun Wuxie could see that their emotions had clearly dropped a lot.
Next, they all fell silent.
“I have read many historical records about the invasion of darkness, and I know that many, many people have sacrificed themselves in each confrontation with the darkness.
The elders must be thinking of their old friends.”
Upon hearing this, the elders, who had seemingly calmed down, suddenly trembled, and their hands placed on their laps could not stop shaking.
Their lips trembled, wanting to say something, but they held back, clenching their teeth tightly, their faces bulging out.
Then, several people lowered their heads.
Jun Wuxie saw tears fall at the moment they lowered their heads.
“Okay, don’t be like this, you’re scaring Yuan Chu and Qingqian!”
The elder on the far left spoke in a low and hoarse voice.
As he said this, his voice carried an uncontrollable sob.
Jun Wuxie was silent.
He knew that the elders must have been to the dark battlefield, fought there, and experienced unbearable pain.
The small apocalypse of the dark invasion at that time, tens of thousands of years had passed, but the long years had not been able to wear away the pain in their hearts.
To the point that they still couldn't control themselves when they thought about it now.
“Yuan Chu, as a cultivator, and coming from a loose cultivator background, you are basically alone, and later you only had Qingqian by your side.
You have never joined a large collective or fought together with a large team.
You may find our reaction difficult to understand.
If you go to the dark battlefield in the future, make a group of friends there, fight alongside them, and face life and death together.
Years of sharing life and death, that kind of feeling will far surpass friends in the conventional sense.
That is a life-and-death friendship, a group of people you can entrust your life to at any time.
You will treat them as family, as brothers.
But that dark battlefield is extremely cruel.
In every battle, you will watch people who have shared life and death for many years fall one after another!
There isn’t even a chance to collect their remains!
Because their bodies cannot be found at all!
Each of them destroys their physical body when they sacrifice, and even the remains cannot be found!
Using the last of their life's strength to kill the enemy, using blood and bones as weapons, and perishing together with the dark creatures before death, was the unwavering will of each of us at that time!
Back then, how many people did our Jinyun Immortal Sect send?
Just among our generation, there were tens of thousands!
These people were all selected as the more outstanding group of geniuses.
In the end, only a few dozen survived.
We are a few of those dozens of people.”
Speaking of this, the elders paused slightly, looked at Jun Wuxie and Mo Qingli, and said: “We said these things, maybe we scared you a little, and it will bring you psychological pressure.
But the darkness is coming, in a hundred years at the earliest, and several hundred years at the latest.
In the future, you will always have to face it.
Born in this era, the environment of heaven and earth has changed greatly, which is fortunate for cultivation, but it is very cruel for fate.
We only hope that you can be psychologically prepared as soon as possible.
No matter how cruel the future is, we can only face it, and we cannot escape.
Otherwise, when the world is overturned, all living beings will die!”
“Elder, we will not feel pressured because of this.
Born in this era, resisting the darkness is the mission and responsibility of everyone.
Dark creatures are certainly powerful and terrifying, but we can only face them. If we are afraid of them, it will only accelerate our demise, so Qingqian and I only have fighting spirit in our hearts, not fear!”
“Good, very good! You deserve to be people who have reached the legendary realm by relying on yourselves, and have experienced nine deaths and one life. This tenacious character and courage are truly rare among disciples at your stage!
Okay, we've talked too much with you today, and we've gone too far.
For you, you shouldn't be thinking about the dark creatures for the time being.
What you have to do is to make yourselves stronger in a limited time.
Only by becoming stronger can you protect the world and civilization in the future!
Don't despair either. Although this era is the most cruel apocalypse in the prophecy, it is also a hopeful apocalypse at the same time.
Because, in this era, there have already been cases of successfully quelling the apocalyptic torrent, and even three realms have been leveled!
In this most desperate era, someone destined to avert calamity has emerged in our myriad heavens!
As long as he is there, as long as he catches up with his cultivation realm before the apocalyptic torrent of our Hunyuan Great World, I believe that he will surely be able to lead the beings of this world to sweep away the dark creatures and usher in a brilliant and prosperous era in the midst of the apocalypse!”
“Who is this person? Are the elders exaggerating him a bit?”
Jun Wuxie didn't expect that the elders, whom he had never met, would praise him so much and have so much confidence in him, which made him feel embarrassed.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, the faces of the elders suddenly turned dark.
Their eyes and attitude also became extremely serious.
“Yuan Chu, be careful with your words!
Perhaps you just think it's incredible that you have this question.
But for us, your words of doubt are blasphemy against that person!
From ancient times to the present, how many apocalyptic torrents have there been?
The myriad heavens and living beings have suffered endless hardships, which is one history of blood and tears after another!
How many people have died, how many families have been broken, and how many people have shed their blood on the battlefield against the darkness.
However, the heavens have never truly defeated the dark creatures, let alone annihilated an entire world of dark armies!
That person, he did it!
The dark creatures that invaded those three realms were completely wiped out, and even the Dark Emperor of that realm was killed by him!
We are not mythologizing him, he himself is a myth, a legend!
Therefore, regardless of his cultivation realm, in our hearts, in the hearts of the beings who are desperate because of the darkness, that person is the only ray of light that can illuminate all beings in the darkness!
In the future, do not say any more words that question that person!”
The elders' tone was very heavy. They were telling Jun Wuxie that they were very angry about his words. Considering that he did not know any better, they would not dwell on it this time, but there would be no next time!
“Okay, I understand.”
Jun Wuxie could only nod in agreement.
But he felt very emotional in his heart.
Having never met, they respected and trusted him so much.
Just like An Yunshu, a generation of female emperors, who took the initiative to request to be his maid.
Jun Wuxie suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavier.
The carelessness of his previous life caused suffering to the heavens, and countless beings have suffered the ravages of darkness for generations.
Quelling the darkness is his responsibility and his mission.
Publicly, he has to make up for his mistakes and restore a clear and bright world to the heavens.
Privately, there are masterminds behind the darkness.
He has no choice, otherwise he and the people he cares about will not be able to survive and will eventually move towards eternal silence.
This is a road that must be taken, and it will not change according to his will. There is no second option.
The only thing to do is to keep moving forward on this road, overcome obstacles, and use his own hands to create hope!
The myriad heavens are shrouded in the shadow of the Primordial Ancestors of the Strange Epidemic.
Then swallow these heavens and reopen the eternal prosperity!
“Okay, you guys rest, recharge your energy, and prepare for tomorrow's training.
We won't disturb you any longer.”
The three elders showed a hint of surprise on their faces, glanced at Jun Wuxie and Mo Qingli, got up and left, heading to another room.
Jun Wuxie was a little surprised. What kind of look did the three elders have when they left?
He retracted his gaze from their departing figures and inadvertently saw Mo Qingli beside him staring at him with a dazed look.
He couldn't help but be stunned.
"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Yuan Chu Gege, you are the god in my heart."
Mo Qingli said this in a clear and cold voice.
"Did you take the wrong medicine?"
Jun Wuxie shook his head and sighed.
"Words from the heart."
Mo Qingli's expression was very serious.
Her personality has always been like this, and she never says anything teasing.
Since she said it, it must be what she thinks in her heart.
"Alright, hurry up and recharge your energy."
Jun Wuxie smiled faintly.
He understood what Mo Qingli meant.
Perhaps it was because the words of the three elders earlier touched her heart, which made her feel something and say it.
He knew that Mo Qingli admired him.
It was precisely because of admiration that she was willing to follow him and follow his lead in everything.
Pure admiration, without a trace of love between a man and a woman.
It's just that their relationship is only understood by themselves and those who understand them.
From the perspective of others, it is inevitable that there will be misunderstandings.
Especially since Mo Qingli came out this time, and he didn't know what she was thinking, she was so close to him, always holding his arm, which made people misunderstand even more.
In addition, she just looked at him with that kind of look. The elders thought it was affectionate, but it was actually just pure admiration.
No wonder the elders' eyes were so strange, and they deliberately went to other rooms.
… …
At this time, night had completely fallen, and the sky outside had darkened.
The moonlight was extremely dim.
The town was silent, appearing a bit eerie.
Inside the temple next to the mansion where Jun Wuxie was located.
The inner disciples were in groups of two or three, mostly meditating and adjusting their breathing.
A small number of people were not meditating and were chatting.
When one person moved his arm, he felt that he had touched something. He turned his head and saw a tattered rag doll.
He frowned and said to the people around him: "You are too careless. You didn't clean it up when you cleaned it. You left a rag doll here."
"How could there be a rag doll in this temple?"
Someone looked at the doll with a look of surprise, "This town hasn't been inhabited for a long time, right?
What is the material of this rag doll that it can be preserved until now?"
"Regardless of the material, you are in the mood. You are going to the Land of Forgotten tomorrow, and you still have the mind to pay attention to the material of this rag doll."
The person who saw the rag doll first said, and then picked up the rag doll and threw it back.
The rag doll drew an arc in the air and landed on the head of the Buddha statue behind them.
"Okay, stop chatting, it's time to adjust your breathing."
Several people stopped talking, closed their eyes, and adjusted their breathing.
… …
Time passed slowly, and the night grew deeper and deeper.
In the main hall of the temple, the last few inner disciples also began to close their eyes to adjust their breathing and recharge their energy.
Just as all of them entered a state of meditation, the eyes of the rag doll on the head of the Buddha statue seemed to turn slightly.
Even the environment around them was quietly changing.
The space was slowly distorting.
It looked like the moonlight and smoke were flowing in the night.
Originally, there were also disciples outside the main hall of the temple who were adjusting their breathing.
But at this moment, their bodies were gradually becoming illusory. In just a few breaths, all the disciples outside the Buddha hall disappeared.
… …
At the same time, inside the dilapidated mansion, Jun Wuxie, who was closing his eyes to rest, suddenly opened his eyes.
"Yuan Chu Gege, what's wrong?"
Mo Qingli's clear and cold voice sounded in his ears.
She sensed his abnormality and withdrew from the state of meditation.
"Shhh."
Jun Wuxie made a shushing gesture.
"Jun Shen, what's going on?"
Mo Qingli switched to Divine Sense communication.
"There is a problem with the temple next door, and abnormalities have already appeared."
Mo Qingli was stunned and just glanced in that direction.
They were in the hall at this time, so they couldn't see it.
But she didn't do anything and said with Divine Sense: "What is Jun Shen going to do?"
"Observe first and see what happens.
Unless absolutely necessary, we won't do anything.
After all, even the elders haven't noticed it. If I go to tell them at this time, wouldn't that make people suspicious?"
As he spoke, mysterious runes had already evolved in his eyes.
He activated his pupil technique, and even with the obstruction of the house building, he could still see the situation in the temple clearly.
