Chapter 512: Past Events of the Era, Cause of the Chaos
Chapter 512: Past Events of the Era, Cause of the Chaos
In the Nine Mountains Realm, the Emperor of Heaven listened to the discussions coming from the Three Enclosures and Four Symbols:
"Tianhe Rebellion? What Tianhe Rebellion? Wasn't the Tianhe Sect destroyed by the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor?"
"What does this have to do with the Four Sects?"
"Yes, the Tianhe Sect was fine before."
Their doubts are normal.
Only a few people knew that Reverend Tianhe had been betrayed, which could be considered a profound taboo.
In the eyes of many people, the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor is the mortal enemy of the Tianhe Sect.
They didn't know about these things, so they naturally felt confused when watching the live broadcast.
In the picture, the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor spoke.
He didn't know whether he wanted everyone to better understand the truth, or he wanted to give the four sects' True Immortals something to talk about, but he started by talking about some past events.
"In the last era, the Immortal Sect declined, and the Demon Ancestor ruled the world. Although the four sects were strong, the disciples of the Demon Sect occupied the mainstream of Xuanwei. When the Dao Fruit could not enter Xuanwei, the Demon Sect was the overlord of Xuanwei."
“Although the Demon Ancestor cannot defeat the Four Sects, the disciples of the Four Sects who are traveling in Xuanwei must also avoid the edge of the Demon Sect.”
Monk Zhitong and others did not refute.
Obviously this is not fake.
Judging from the history that Zheng Fa knew, the Demon Ancestor had destroyed the world once—
In other words, the Xuanwei human race in the last era were all descendants of the Demon Ancestor.
When the Dao Fruits of the Four Sects were restricted and unable to enter the mysterious realm, one can imagine how powerful the Demon Sect was.
"Xuanwei's resources are limited. Many demon sects are not direct disciples and are not qualified to practice. The major demon clans do not value this group of people and let them fend for themselves."
"This group of people have a lowly status in the Demon Sect, and are oppressed. They are unable to practice cultivation, so they can only make a living in the mortal world. Of course, they cannot escape the rule of the Demon Sect."
"Later, they married each other, and their bloodlines gradually became mixed, and they were no longer regarded by the major demon sects."
Zheng Fa speculated in his heart that if one were to extrapolate based on a period of 100,000 years, one could imagine how huge the number of these mixed-blood disciples of the Demon Sect would be.
"Their bloodline is impure, so they can't practice the magic sect's methods. Instead, the four sects saw the opportunity and passed down the Taoist tradition, and the sect began to revive."
"But at the beginning, the major sects were definitely no match for the Demon Sect."
"At that time, the Demon Sect was known as the Thirteen Immortal Dynasties, and below the Immortal Dynasties were the sects."
Following the narration of the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor, Zheng Fa truly understood what Xuanwei was like in the last era.
The demons ruled the world with the Immortal Dynasty, and the four sects retreated instead.
Although the major sects have inherited the legacy, it is incomplete on the one hand, and they are absolutely no match for the accumulation of an era of the Immortal Dynasty on the other hand, and can only rely on it.
Compared with the current mysterious situation, the situation at that time was probably even more suffocating.
The Demonic Sect inevitably moves towards elitism.
The bottom layer was instead taken advantage of by the four sects - or rather, this was an inevitable result of development.
When there are no "outsiders", "insiders" will become "outsiders".
If nothing unexpected happens, in the end, the immortal sects represented by the four schools should start a fight with the major immortal dynasties.
But something unexpected happened.
"The Tianhe Sect was a small sect at the time." The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor continued, "But Tianhe is a man of extraordinary talent, and his golden elixir is known to be invincible."
"After he became a god, he became even more powerful."
The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor was not a talkative person, and when talking about Venerable Tianhe, he only said a few words.
But Zheng Fa could imagine how shocking the Tianhe Master was at that time.
Obviously, it was definitely more difficult for Tianhe Zun to get started than it was for himself:
Zheng Fa has always felt that his greatest strength is that he knows himself well.
I know that my own wisdom is limited, so I like to borrow brains.
I know that my strength is not enough, so I am not opposed to cooperating with others.
Compared with Venerable Tianhe, he knew one thing more: his current achievements were of course the result of his hard work, but to put it bluntly, everything came from the Yin-Yang Fish Jade Pendant.
This kind of luck is more important than any effort, wisdom or strategy.
The only thing he could be proud of was that he seized this luck and used it to the fullest.
But Venerable Tianhe might not have such luck.
Therefore, its achievements are even more valuable.
The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor continued, “In the beginning, Tianhe was arrogant and had many conflicts with the Four Sects, but the Four Sects had no way to deal with him.”
At this moment, Yao Chi Nishang Yuanjun finally spoke:
"But isn't it because you, Jiuyou, are protecting him? Not to mention the four sects, how many revenges from the demon sects did you stop for him back then?"
The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor was silent for a while, then he said, "My path to the Dharmakaya had also come to an end at that time, and the Heavenly River... gave me another hope."
The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor's words made Zheng Fa unconsciously remember his peculiarity.
Other Golden Immortals cannot enter Xuanwei, but he can.
Even the Nine Nether Demon Sect does not seem to be a family.
It really doesn’t look like a Dharmakaya method.
He even had some guesses in his mind.
The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor briefly said something about himself, and then said, "Back then, Tianhe rose too fast, and you four sects could not suppress it, so you changed your attitude and cooperated with it to fight against the Demon Sect."
At this point, Zheng Fa suddenly realized.
Before, Zheng Fa had never figured out why the four sects were allies of Venerable Tianhe.
That was because he ignored the Demon Sect.
With a common enemy, there is naturally the possibility of cooperation.
In Zheng Fa's opinion, the Four Sects were very flexible and their attitudes were ambiguous when facing him.
"With Tianhe's talent, my protection, and the foundation of the four sects, Tianhe has made rapid progress." Nine Nether Demon Ancestor said softly, "In less than ten thousand years, he has annihilated the eight great immortal dynasties and even achieved the Dao Fruit, becoming truly invincible in the world."
"You, from the moment he attained enlightenment, have you had disloyalty?"
The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor suddenly asked.
……
In the picture, Immortal Xuan Ding actually spoke first.
"When Tianhe Zun was achieving enlightenment, Dao Zun appeared, and we realized that he was not practicing Yangshen Fa."
It turns out that Xuan Ding can say so many words at once.
"Tianhe didn't follow the Yangshen Method from the beginning." Nine Nether Demon Ancestor said, "He just hid it in his early years."
Xuan Ding Zhenxian shook his head and said, "Whether you believe it or not, at the beginning, I, the Supreme Daoist, don't mind the new method of Tianhe Venerable."
The voice of the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor was a little cold: "But this is the beginning of everything."
Xuan Ding Zhenxian fell silent again, as if the person who spoke just now was not himself.
The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor didn't care about him either, and just continued: "Back then, there were only four major immortal dynasties left, which were also the most powerful and most difficult demon sect forces to deal with."
"But Tianhe and I both have confidence that we will win in the end, and we are almost there."
"Then Tianhe suddenly died, and you immediately betrayed Tianhe Sect."
"why."
……
The old monk Zhitong suddenly spoke up: "It is the Supreme Dao."
Zheng Fa looked at the old monk.
"The Supreme Dao sent a message to the four sects, saying that Venerable Tianhe was colluding with the Demon Sect."
Venerable Jiuyou laughed angrily:
"Colluding with the Demon Sect? Under the Tianhe Qingping sword, there are the souls of three Demon Ancestors!"
"The Supreme Daoist said he was colluding with the Demon Sect?"
"So you believe it?"
The old monk Zhitong asked:
"Didn't he collude with you?"
The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor did not answer and seemed stunned.
"Although Venerable Tianhe defeated the four great dynasties at that time, he also cut down mountains and destroyed temples, and did things that were against the will of heaven." The old monk Zhitong continued, "Shouldn't we four sects be suspicious of what he did?"
"Because of me, you think Tianhe is colluding with the Demon Sect?"
"My Nine Nether Immortal Dynasty has long been disbanded!"
Smart Channel:
"Demon Ancestor, you have an extraordinary origin. No one in my four sects knows your background."
"You said that the Nine Nether Immortal Dynasty was disbanded. We only saw that among the thirteen immortal dynasties, only yours was not defeated by the Tianhe Reverend."
"And you have become the second generation Tianhe Sect Leader."
"Isn't it suspicious?"...
In the main hall of the Tianhe Sect, the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor stood up with a dazed look on his face.
Listen to Yun Zhenxian continue:
"Even the Venerable Tianhe did not pass the throne to his disciple, but to you."
"If it weren't for you, Nine Nether Demon Ancestor, who bewitched the Heavenly River Reverend, how could this be possible?"
"How can we allow you to steal the position of Tianhe Sect Leader?"
The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor stopped talking.
He looked at Sect Leader Yan and suddenly asked:
"Just because Tianhe passed the throne to me?"
Sect Leader Yan lowered his head.
Zheng Fa also frowned as he listened.
If what Zhitong and Yun Zhenxian said was true, then from their perspective, it was indeed difficult to explain why Venerable Tianhe cut down mountains and destroyed temples in his later years, which made them even more uneasy.
And passing the throne to the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor made it possible for Venerable Tianhe to collude with the Demon Sect.
If Reverend Tianhe was here and had overpowered Xuanwei, they would naturally have nothing to say.
But Venerable Tianhe died and passed the throne to the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor, so they naturally didn't want to sit idly by.
The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor did not speak for a long time. He did not expect that the truth about the Tianhe Rebellion that he had been looking for so hard was actually because of him?
But the problem is that Venerable Tianhe has never colluded with the Demon Sect.
Who spread this news?
The Supreme Way?
The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor asked Xuan Ding Zhenxian: "How could you, the Supreme Dao, be sure that Tianhe, or I, have any connection with the Demon Sect?"
Xuan Ding Zhenxian's expression changed slightly, and he immediately realized that someone had told part of the truth.
"That's what the Devil of Creation said."
"..."
"he?"
Xuan Ding recalled, "Back then, when the four great immortal dynasties were destroyed, the Creation Demon was hunted down by the Leiyin Temple and fled to the sea, where he was caught up by my Great Dao Fruit."
"Before he died, he said it himself. I will obey you."
"The Devil of Creation, obey me?"
The voice of the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor revealed a strong sense of disbelief.
Zheng Fa also felt a toothache after listening to this.
The Demon of Creation doesn't sound like a weakling.
It would be fine if this person just spoke nonsense, but he said these words before he died.
Who doesn’t have doubts in his heart?
"He also said," Xuan Ding said, "You betrayed the Venerable Tianhe, and he has become a demon."
"..."
"Sure enough, not long after, Venerable Tianhe suddenly passed away."
Zheng Fa fell into deep thought.
Now he naturally would not doubt the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor.
But if you look at it from that time, it’s different:
The fact that Venerable Tianhe cut down mountains and destroyed temples already made the four sects tremble with fear.
On the other hand, the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor came from the Demon Sect and was probably not trustworthy in the eyes of the four sects.
There is also a "witness" like the Demon Ancestor of Creation.
To be honest, Zheng Fa was aware that he was the Supreme Daoist, so he would also have some doubts about Venerable Tianhe and the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor.
In this case, Leiyin Temple and Haori Mountain had this misunderstanding because they received the message from Taishang Dao?
Zheng Fa frowned.
The Demon of Creation...Hao Ri Mountain...and, Lu Yao.
If anyone could create such a misunderstanding, it would only be Lu Yao.
But the problem is, Lu Yao might be able to command Demon Ancestor and Haori Mountain, but how can you say that Tai Shang Dao has no doubts at all?
That's just too stupid.
"The Devil of Creation said he would obey me, and you believed him?"
The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor asked the Four Sects’ Dao Fruits again.
Zhitong spoke again: "Yao Chi sent a message saying that Venerable Tianhe has been possessed by the devil, and wants to use the Zhuxian formation diagram to make Xuanwei Wuxianmen."
The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor was silent.
Zheng Fa was also speechless.
By the way, the fact that Venerable Tianhe was possessed by the devil was actually confirmed by Yao Chi?
This is probably the whole reason for the Tianhe Rebellion.
To put it bluntly, this chaos is a collection of various causes and effects:
The four sects were dissatisfied with Venerable Tianhe's cutting down mountains and destroying temples.
Suspicion towards the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor.
Fear of the Zhu Xian Formation.
Put together, it eventually led to the Tianhe bloody case.
"Yao Chi..." Nine Nether Demon Ancestor suddenly said, "It is indeed her."
Who?
Zheng Fa was confused.
"Of course you all believed her when she said that." Nine Nether Demon Ancestor suddenly said, "After all, she... is Tianhe's Taoist partner."
……
Nishang Yuanjun also understood that someone had betrayed Yao Chi, and sighed, "Lingxi and Tianhe Zun are in love with each other, and I, Yao Chi, am happy to see it happen."
"One day, she returned to Yaochi and said that Tianhe had been possessed by a demon and wanted to wipe out the four sects, unify the immortal sects, and be the only one who can rule."
"Demon Ancestor, tell me, should we believe it?"
After hearing this, Zheng Fa roughly sorted out a thread:
Before Venerable Tianhe's death, the Four Sects and Venerable Tianhe had probably already become alienated from each other because of the Tianhe Law and the Zhuxian Sword Formation.
I don’t know how much dissatisfaction and fear there are in the hearts of the four sects.
There are two things that make the four sects suspicious:
One is the dying words of the Devil of Creation.
Of course, the four sects do not necessarily believe in the Demon Ancestor.
But it's hard not to have grudges in your heart.
Another one further undermines the trust of the four parties:
That Lingxi, as the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor said, was actually the Taoist companion of Venerable Tianhe, and was born in Yaochi.
The credibility of what he said is beyond doubt.
This doubt had not yet been dispelled. Who would have thought that Venerable Tianhe suddenly died and passed the throne to Demon Ancestor Jiuyou.
The strangeness of Tianhe’s death.
Years of accumulated suspicion.
Of course, in Zheng Fa's opinion, the most important thing is the four sects' fear of the Zhu Xian Sword Formation.
Even if all the previous events had not happened, the Four Sects would probably not tolerate the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor taking control of the Zhuxian Formation.
Even Zheng Fa knew that even if Venerable Tianhe had not died, if things continued in this way, this chaos would still happen, and it would even be more tragic.
Thinking about it this way, Tianhe Zun was a bit miserable back then:
The four great disciples betrayed... or at least they were doubting their master.
His fellow Taoist also seemed to doubt him.
Absolutely deserted by everyone.
The only person who can be trusted and entrusted is actually the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor?
Unfortunately, the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor was unable to preserve this foundation.
……
The old monk Zhitong suddenly spoke again:
"Although there has always been grudges between the Supreme Dao and my Leiyin Temple, we are both immortal sects."
"We naturally believe their information, not to mention the testimony of Yao Chi Ling Xi Divine Monarch."
"Back then, the Supreme Dao led us, with the help of the four ancestors, to attack the Tianhe formation, suppress the Four Swords of Zhuxian, and restore order."
"Because we were afraid of your magical powers, Demon Ancestor, we set up an ambush, but you still managed to escape."
Zheng Fa frowned.
Hearing this, Zheng Fa had only one thought:
All this is really too coincidental.
It seemed like someone was pushing Venerable Tianhe to break away from the Four Sects.
Judging from the attitude of Venerable Tianhe, he seemed to have realized something. He did not trust the Four Sects and the Immortal Gate, so he had to choose the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor.
From the perspective of the four sects, Venerable Tianhe drifted further and further away from them, and in the end he even chose the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor.
Even from what Zhitong and others said, the instigator of the Tianhe Rebellion was actually Taishang Dao and Yaochi?
At this moment, Xuan Ding Zhenxian started to speak again: "But we are wrong."
