Chapter 890 The Secret of the Ancient Temple (Part 2)
"If it is not included in the official history, you may not know." Zhao Changkong did not agree with Wen Yueyan's inference. He thought about it as if he was recalling and said, "When I just entered the Immortal Palace, I saw a scattered story in the Sutra Library of the Human Palace. The author of this scattered story was the Bingbi official of the Lord of the Ancient Demon Temple, who specialized in recording some of the deeds and decisions of the Lord of the Ancient Demon Temple. This scattered story records a story that has never appeared in the official history of the Immortal Palace, that is, the Lord of the Ancient Demon Temple was qualified to step into the Immortal Platform and ascend to the upper realm."
"What? Is there such a thing?" Wen Yueyan obviously didn't know what Zhao Changkong said at all, and the surprise on her face was beyond words.
The Immortal Palace Ascension Platform is a special place. It is said that it can be connected to the higher level of the immortal world. As long as the cultivation level reaches the strongest level, you can enter the Immortal Platform to experience the heaven and earth at the right time. If you are lucky, you can directly ascend to the upper realm and completely escape from the cycle of reincarnation in these three realms. For the Immortal Palace demon clan, the strongest realm is not the ultimate goal of their cultivation. Stepping into the Immortal Platform and ascend to the upper realm is their true end.
However, after the Treasure House of the Supreme Qingjing Heavenly Dynasty completely disappeared, there was also a problem with the Shengxiantai and was blocked by the Supreme Palace. When it came to the current situation of the local mutant, a large number of demon clans who were stuck at the bottleneck of the peak of Hedao Dixian Immortals, the news came from the Supreme Palace that the Shengxiantai had been completely destroyed in the changes in the world and could not communicate with the world.
However, at this time, the Ascension Platform had lost its appeal to the powerful demon clans of the Immortal Palace. They could feel that the suppression of cultivation by heaven and earth was weakening, and their strongest realm might just be a new beginning. Instead of ascending to the upper realm through the Ascension Platform and becoming an oxtail that everyone can bully, it is better to stay and be a lofty chicken head.
But at that time, being able to ascend to the upper realm was the greatest achievement of all the demon clans in the Immortal Palace. Only those strong people who cannot ascend and whose lifespan is about to end will be sent to the Supreme Palace and become the Supreme Elder. To a certain extent, the Supreme Palace is the nursing home of the demon clan and the gathering place for the losers. Although the Supreme Palace is noble in status, it is not a glorious identity worth boasting for the demon clan.
Wen Yueyan soon thought that since the Lord of the Demon God Temple had the opportunity to enter the Immortal Ascension Platform, he must have tried to ascend to the Immortal Realm. However, judging from the situation later, it was obvious that the Lord of the Ancient Demon God Temple had obviously not ascended as other ancestors. However, in Wen Yueyan's opinion, this matter seemed to have nothing to do with the secret hidden in the Ancient Demon God Temple mentioned by Xu Changqing. She didn't understand why Zhao Changkong mentioned this matter.
Just as Wen Yueyan showed a look of confusion on her face, Zhao Changkong said again: "According to the records of the scattered records, the Lord of the Ancient Demon Temple only stayed at the Shengxiantai for less than a day before leaving."
"In less than a day?" Wen Yueyan had already heard some clues at this time.
According to the unwritten rules of the Immortal Palace, any strong demon clan entering the Immortal Platform must stay in it for 81 days before leaving. Because few people can ascend to the upper realm on the first day, most of the others will ascend successfully within ten or dozens of days. From entering the Immortal Platform, the power contained in the Immortal Platform on the 81st day will enter a decay period, which will take a long time to recover. Therefore, every person entering the Immortal Platform will only have 81 days to understand the heaven and earth. After these 81 days, it will be difficult to have a second chance. This is not a rigid rule, but it is an invisible rule formed by the experience summarized by countless ancestors.
All the most powerful people who have entered the Extinction Platform in all dynasties but have not been able to ascend smoothly, have stayed in the Extinction Platform for 81 days before they had to leave. No one will ever leave within 81 days, let alone leave after only one day. The power of the Extinction Platform itself has a great effect on the consolidating cultivation of the Supreme Immortal. Even if they cannot ascend smoothly, staying in the Extinction Platform for one more day is no less than practicing hard in the outside world for one year, so anyone who is a little rational will choose to stay in the Extinction Platform for a long enough time.
The Lord of the Ancient Demon Temple was obviously not an irrational person to become the Lord of Xuanyuantian, but after entering the Ascension Platform, he made such an unreasonable act, which was really hard to find.
Wen Yueyan began to become interested in this matter and asked her husband in a deep voice: "Did you mention what happened to him at Shengxiantai in the scattered script?"
"No one knows." Zhao Changkong shook his head and continued, "After he left the Shengxiantai, he began to build the Ancient Demon Temple, and then kept sealing all the treasures he collected into the hall, until he fell in the Immortal Demon War." As he said that, he paused for a moment and asked again: "Do you know who the most powerful immortal palace master was before the Lord of the Ancient Demon Temple entered the Shengxiantai?"
Wen Yueyan showed contemplation, and then seemed to think of something, her eyes lit up. She said, "It's the wise man Bai Jue."
In the Immortal Palace, the wise man is a noble title. Only the most wise demon clan strongman recognized by the various forces in the Immortal Palace is qualified to be the wise man. For example, Bai Jue is now the title of wise man. However, among the wise men in the Immortal Palace in all dynasties, the one who is recognized by the strong man in the Immortal Palace is the one who is recognized as the most wise man. Even Bai Jue, who is now called the demon master, thinks that there is still a big gap compared to Bai Jue, the ancestor of the White Ze demon clan.
"If I remember correctly, it is recorded in the official history of the Immortal Palace that Bai Jue finally ascended to the upper realm." Zhao Changkong continued: "But in that book, it is recorded that Bai Jue entered the Immortal Platform and entered the five declines of heaven and man in just 81 days, and finally died on the Immortal Platform."
"This is impossible." Wen Yueyan immediately questioned: "In the history of the Immortal Palace, no one will die on the Exalted Platform."
"You also said that it is history, what kind of history is this, and whose history is it." Zhao Changkong retorted: "Don't forget that history can be modified. Whoever masters the pen to write history will master history. You are also one of the top people in the Immortal Palace. It should be clear that the history of the Immortal Palace recorded in the Immortal History is not the real history. Even if the daily records of the Lord of the Great Temple can stand the scrutiny, most of the content recorded above have been modified by you."
Although the couple had argued about a certain issue many times before, they had never argued about such serious issues as they are today. Even in a certain aspect, this topic is a taboo, let alone Zhao Changkong deliberately led the issue to him, which made Wen Yueyan very unhappy.
Seeing Wen Yueyan's unhappy expression on her face, Zhao Changkong knew that he should not continue on this topic anymore, so he immediately turned the topic back to the ancient demon temple and said, "In that scattered record, when the ancient demon temple master came out of the Ascension Platform, he had one more thing on his hand, but he did not write down what it was. Later, while the ancient demon temple master was building the demon temple, he was also collecting a large number of things related to Bai Jue, whether it was the books written by Bai Jue or the magic weapon used by Bai Jue, to the last few days
It was almost obsessed. This was really different from the previous behavior of the Lord of the Ancient Demon Temple. If I was not wrong, the Lord of the Ancient Demon Temple must have obtained something left by Bai Jue during his lifetime on the Ascension Platform. There was a big secret hidden in this thing. The reason why the Ancient Demon Temple was built was to block this big secret. The content of this big secret even exceeded the Lord of the Ancient Demon Temple, so he finally chose to commit suicide and was unwilling to reveal the secret at all."
Wen Yueyan frowned and retorted: "The Lord of the Ancient Demon Temple died in battle."
Zhao Changkong said: "According to the history of immortals, the Lord of the Ancient Demon Temple died before and after the Immortal Palace was at the advantage of the Immortal Palace, but the Lord of the Ancient Demon Temple left his subordinates and broke into the enemy camp alone. Although he killed countless enemies, he could not escape death. This could make sense when the battle situation was in a defeat, but it was obviously unreasonable to seek death like this when the battle situation was superior. The only explanation was that he did not think about leaving the battlefield alive at that time."
Although Wen Yueyan was unwilling to believe Zhao Changkong's speculation, she could not find any place to refute, so she could only remain silent and close her eyes to ponder. Zhao Changkong also knew that his wife needed some time to clarify her mind, so she stood quietly aside and waited for her to return to normal.
After a while, Wen Yueyan slowly said: "Since there is such a big secret, why hasn't there ever been similar rumors circulating in the Immortal Palace? Where did Xu Changqing know about it?"
"Only one person in the Immortal Palace has the ability to completely cover up a piece of news, that is, the Immortal Palace Palace Master." Zhao Changkong said in a deep voice: "Although your status is one of the top beings in the Immortal Palace, you are not the one standing at the top. Perhaps when you become the Immortal Palace Palace Master, you can also know many secrets of the Immortal Palace that you didn't know before. As for why Xu Changqing knew this secret, isn't it simple? Don't forget the attitude of His Highness toward him."
Hearing what Zhao Changkong said, Wen Yueyan couldn't help but feel a little resentful and said, "Aren't I the designated heir of His Highness the Palace Master? Why would Your Highness the Palace Master rather believe in outsiders than hand over the matter to me?"
Zhao Changkong persuaded: "Maybe this secret has a great relationship, and there is an unknown danger. After all, even people like the Lord of the Ancient Demon Temple cannot bear it. Finally, he chose that way to settle his name. His Highness the Palace Master was worried that something would happen to you, so he found someone else to solve the problem. And if we count it, Xu Changqing was not an outsider."
Although Zhao Changkong himself did not believe these words, it was enough to use them as explanations.
