Chapter 4219 Danger
As they walked cautiously towards the interior of Dongtingyuan, the Lord of Demon Court lowered his voice and introduced in a slightly heavy tone:
"As for the origin of Dongting Yuan, the human and demon tribes each have unique and different explanations. But at the moment, the most common and widely accepted theory is that the creation of Dongting Yuan originated from a thrilling ancient battle.
The two parties involved in that battle were the famous and powerful Tun Tian, while the other was a strange and powerful man with a mysterious identity and unknown origins. A shocking and fierce battle ensued between the two. The scale and intensity of the battle were beyond imagination.
Swallowing the Sky is a name that awes countless creatures. His power is like a roaring giant wave, capable of destroying all obstacles in front of him. Every attack he made was like thunder, shaking the world. His figure was tall and majestic, like an insurmountable mountain. His roar echoed through the sky, making the whole world tremble.
And that strange strong man also possesses incredible power. Every attack he makes is like a bright star streaking across the night sky, lighting up the entire battlefield. His spells are mysterious, powerful, and elusive. His figure is like a ghost, erratic and difficult to capture.
This battle lasted for several days, the sky and the earth changed color, and the mountains and rivers were broken. The wind howled, lightning flashed, the earth trembled under their feet, and the rivers changed their courses under their power. In the end, the mysterious Dongting Yuan was created today. "
When Chu Yang heard this, he couldn't help but frown slightly, with a look of curiosity and doubt in his eyes.
his purpose
The light shone with the light of thought, as if trying to piece together the fragments of that distant history, and asked: "So until now, neither the human nor the demon clan knows the specific identity of the other?"
The Lord of the Demon Court sighed softly. The sigh seemed to have traveled through a thousand years of time, carrying endless helplessness and regret. There was a hint of loneliness and sadness in his expression, and he replied:
"This is exactly the case. As for the other side, the ancestors of our demon clan have made great efforts to investigate. They have gone through the ancient books. Those books are piled up like mountains, and every page records the history and wisdom of the demon clan. . They searched for clues in the yellowed paper, studying every word carefully, not letting go of any possible clues. They visited countless ruins, which were ancient and mysterious, and they were full of traces of time. Exploring, looking for a few words on the broken stone tablets, trying to uncover the history buried by the years.
They also obtained some sporadic clues, which were like the faint stars twinkling in the night sky, bringing them a glimmer of hope. But fate is always full of accidents and twists and turns. Before these precious clues could be recorded in detail, a sudden and unforeseen accident led to the unfortunate death of the ancestors responsible for the investigation.
It was a sudden disaster, perhaps a mysterious curse, perhaps an attack by a powerful enemy. In short, those ancestors disappeared in the long river of history in an instant, taking away the precious clues they discovered. Their departure put our exploration into trouble and made
That period of history was once again buried in the dust of time. "
"So later, when the fierce conflict and war broke out again between the human and demon clans, the in-depth investigation of Dongtingyuan was helplessly shelved and delayed. The war was raging, the lives were devastated, and the two clans were caught in endless fighting and hatred. . The battlefield was filled with smoke, and the sound of killing was loud. The ground was stained with blood, and countless families were broken up. Countless lives were lost in the flames of war. Until later, Dongting Yuan's existence gradually evolved into a human monster. Unless they are the core figures at the top, they have no way of knowing the secrets that the two parties jointly guard. Even some of the top brass have only heard of the name Dongtingyuan, but know very little about the actual situation and specific details.”
Chu Yang was thoughtful and continued to ask with deep eyes:
"So after so many years, how many actual benefits have you demon clan gained from Dongting Abyss? I think if this place didn't have extremely important value and significance, you wouldn't have mobilized so many troops and went to war to carry out in-depth exploration. Investigated."
There was a complex look on the face of the Lord of the Demon Court, mixed with helplessness, regret and a hint of unspeakable fear. His eyes became distant and deep, as if he was trapped in painful memories. He said slowly:
"Things are far from as simple as you imagine. Although Dongting Abyss is indeed filled with a large number of precious and rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures, it takes a lot of effort and challenges to successfully remove them from this mysterious area. The difficulty is beyond what ordinary people can imagine in the past.
It's true that the masters of the Demon Court have tried to do this with great ambitions, but in the end, the results waiting for them were very miserable.
Some people unfortunately contracted an incurable disease, which was like a devil's curse, corroding their bodies and souls, and eventually died mysteriously; some people's cultivation plummeted, and they could never return to their former peak. Their fate is like withering flowers, falling quickly after a short period of glory and falling into endless darkness. "
"It wasn't until later, because of some sporadic clues and constant exploration attempts, that we gradually understood that there is an extremely terrifying and mysterious power in Dongting Abyss. It is precisely because of the existence of this power that we can step into it. The body of the strong man has undergone inexplicable changes. That power is like an invisible shackle, binding every soul that tries to explore. Therefore, if you want to avoid this change, you must bring something crucial. "
Chu Yang frowned, his eyes full of doubts and vigilance, and asked, "What is that?"
The Lord of the Demon Court looked serious and replied solemnly:
"The only thing that can restrain this terrifying force within Dongtingyuan is the sacred weapon of our demon clan. It is a treasure that has been passed down for thousands of years and contains endless mysterious power. We must rely on the powerful authority and mysterious power of the sacred weapon. Only in this way can we move safely in this dangerous area. The sacred weapon is like a beacon in the darkness, guiding us in the direction of progress."
Chu Yang's face instantly turned gloomy, with a hint of dissatisfaction and questioning in his tone: "Why didn't you tell me this before? I don't have the holy weapon you mentioned.
With the power, wouldn’t accidents happen? "
The Lord of the Demon Court had a meaningful expression on his face. After being silent for a long time, he let out a long sigh and explained:
"That's why I traveled thousands of miles to the Great Zhou Dynasty to find you. It's precisely because the sacred weapon feels a power stronger and more mysterious in you. That power is like a sleeping giant beast. , once awakened, it will shake the world.”
"When faced with the power of Your Majesty, the Holy Artifact showed fear and withdrawal for the first time. At that moment, I knew that you are an indispensable key figure in this exploration of Dongtingyuan."
For a time, the atmosphere fell into a long silence. The surrounding air seemed to have solidified, and there was only the sound of the gentle breeze blowing. After a long time, when Chu Yang spoke again, his face was already covered with a layer of gloom, and his tone was full of vigilance and defensiveness.
"So you have never planned to kill people and steal goods? I think with your identity and status, and facing such a powerful force, it is difficult not to covet me. If you do it now, maybe I will die quietly. The sound will not cause anyone to notice."
The Lord of the Demon Court smiled bitterly and shook his head, with a look of helplessness on his face, and said:
"I think if I dared to do this, I'm afraid you would have attacked me immediately. I'm not completely sure that I can handle your powerful attack, but I think you have an absolute killer move that can make me pay. The heavy price, not to mention having to pay with my life, might be able to pull me down from this position, am I right? "
Chu Yang smiled and said nothing, just using
He stared at the Lord of the Demon Court with deep eyes, revealing an elusive emotion in his eyes. That gaze seemed to be able to penetrate all disguises and reach deep into the other person's heart.
However, after this straightforward and tentative exchange, the two of them reached a certain tacit understanding.
At least at this stage, both of them were afraid of and in awe of each other's strength. In this way, any decision or action must be carefully considered and the possible serious consequences must be fully considered. If you don't have full confidence, you will never attack the other party easily.
This may be the best portrayal of their relationship at this stage, and it is also the foundation and guarantee for the continuation of this unknown and dangerous adventure.
Unknowingly, Chu Yang followed the Lord of the Demon Court into the Dongting Abyss.
The moment he stepped into it, Chu Yang keenly felt that the spiritual energy of the world around him was completely different from the outside world. The spiritual power seemed to be alive, surrounding them, sometimes caressing them gently, and sometimes impacting them strongly.
Full of doubts, he quickly turned to look at the Lord of the Demon Court beside him, his eyes full of questioning and vigilance. The Lord of the Demon Court also understood it and gave him a look, which answered the question in his heart.
"The situation here is indeed very different from the outside world. Not only is the spiritual power of the world different, but if you stay here for too long, you may be assimilated by the world here."
"Assimilation?" Chu Yang's heart tightened, and there was a hint of uneasiness and surprise in his voice.
The expression of the Lord of the Demon Court became a little frightened, and he continued to explain: "Assimilation can make a person completely
He has completely lost himself and become a puppet controlled by this world. He must completely rely on this world to survive.
There was a time when the master of the Demon Court accidentally fell into the trap of assimilation, which ultimately led to him being trapped and dead in this mysterious and dangerous area for the rest of his life. His soul is forever imprisoned in this land and cannot be reincarnated. "
"But even if the problem of assimilation is avoided, there are still various other dangers in the Dongting Abyss. If you are not careful, you will be ruthlessly implicated and pay an extremely cruel price. Those dangers are like those hidden in the darkness. The poisonous snake is always ready to deliver a fatal blow.
However, I think that with the strong ability and rich experience of fellow Taoists, I can handle it with ease and be safe even if I encounter danger, so I don't need to worry too much, just follow my steps closely. "
