Chapter 536: Asking Xiaxia Gorge Inheritance

"People from modern times? What do you mean by modern times? The last five hundred years, the last thousand years, or the last ten thousand years?"

The man spoke in a relaxed tone and stated his answer directly.

"If your modern times are 500 or 1,000 years, then I am not one of them. If your modern times are 3,000 years, then I can barely be considered a modern person."

"Are you from three thousand years ago?"

Chu Tai looked at the man strangely. In Chu Tai's perception, his cultivation was only at the fifth level, and based on the ability of the Dao Fruit fragment [Impermanence of Life and Death], his life breath was also very young, and it was definitely no more than three hundred years from birth to now.

But the aura around him seemed ancient and out of tune with the present, which was what Chu Tai was curious about.

As if seeing Chu Tai's doubts, the man shrugged and said, "I know you don't believe it, but I was indeed born three thousand years ago. To be precise, it should be more than three thousand four hundred years ago. I am not sure when it was exactly, because I am not sure when I woke up."

Chu Tai became more and more curious as he listened, and the man continued to explain: "I have studied the current history. According to your records, the inheritance of Wenxia Gorge was cut off five hundred years ago, but in fact it is not true. To be precise, we have been gradually losing our inheritance for more than six thousand years."

"why?"

Chu Tai frowned, somewhat unable to understand. The man continued, "Because many seniors disappeared inexplicably after achieving the fourth rank. Some said they ascended, some said they were plotted against by enemies, demons, and some dirty guys, and some said they went to other continents to liberate the creatures enslaved by the demons. I don't know why, but that's the fact, and it seems that my teacher is also going to follow this path..."

At this point, the man narrowed his eyes slightly and whispered, "I suspect he knocked me out and made me wake up in this era for this reason."

"So when did you wake up?"

"Didn't I say this before? I'm not sure when I woke up. If I have to give a time, it was probably about thirty years ago. I was really shocked when I woke up. I didn't expect this era to be so special, and there are things called Dao Fruit Fragments."

At this point, the man showed an obvious expression of disgust: "This thing is simply a cancer. It is extremely harmful to monks. In the past thirty years, I have seen too many evil thoughts caused by this thing. Moreover, the devil seems to appear more frequently in the world because of the existence of this thing. This is quite rare in my era."

After saying that, the man looked at Chu Tai and said with a smile: "By the way, after talking so much, I still haven't introduced myself. I am Weng Jieguo from Wenxia Gorge."

"Yangmei Shanren from Taiyi Jinhua Sect meets Weng Xia."

Seeing the other party making hand gestures and saluting, Chu Tai also returned a salute to reveal his identity.

Hearing this, Weng Jieguo smiled and said, "Interesting, it's still half-true and half-false information. I'm suddenly a little curious about your identity."

As they spoke, Chu Tai could see a faint light moving in the other person's pupils, as if something was changing in them, but when he looked closely, he could not see anything.

"Curious? This thing is a magical power that my teacher taught me after I begged him for a long time. It doesn't have any killing power, but it can detect the truth of people's words from a historical perspective."

After saying that, Weng Jieguo looked towards the interior of the Jiang Mansion, and Chu Tai whispered, "So, this is why people from your lineage rarely find the wrong person. You can see some of the future through the cosmic light, and then through the future..."

"Wait a moment!"

Weng Jieguo interrupted Chu Tai and said exaggeratedly: "What do you mean we can see some of the future through the light of the universe? I said that we can see from a historical perspective. This is not the power of the light of the universe."

While talking, Weng Jieguo smiled at Chu Tai and said mysteriously, "As for the specific power? Why don't you guess it?"

Hearing this, Chu Tai glanced at Weng Jieguo's pupils and whispered, "Humanity? No, pure humanity can derive history, but it should not be fair. So is it a combination of humanity, cosmic light, and the soul?"

"Wow! I didn't expect that although your cultivation is not high, your vision is not simple. You can actually see most of the foundation of my magical power."

Weng Jieguo's face was full of praise, but Chu Tai didn't care. Instead, he asked, "It should be missing, can you tell me what it is?"

"I can tell you. In exchange, can you tell me why you came to Jiang Mansion?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Tai had nothing to hide, except for hiding the fact that he was the ruler of Jinhua Sect, and told the other party everything he knew.

"Another collusion with the devil? This Jiang Mansion is much worse than his ancestors back then."

"If the predecessors were people from three thousand years ago, the current dynasty would have been established not long ago. Whether it was the ruler of the dynasty or the ruler of the Jiang Mansion, they were all people who opened up a new dynasty, and they were naturally different from the younger generations who maintained the status quo."

Chu Tai's words made Weng Jieguo sneer and said, "That's because you haven't seen those family forces that uphold their family traditions and family traditions, such as the Shenwu Yang Family, the Wuhou Zhuge Family, the Zhenbei Yue Family, the Shounan Xue Family, and so on."

"But their endings should not be considered good. How many of them have left a complete legacy now? How many of those who are still alive are descendants of those people back then?"

Chu Tai's words silenced Weng Jieguo. He spat and cursed, "This scrambled egg maker..."

Hearing this, Chu Tai did not continue to speak, and Weng Jieguo suddenly thought of something, looked towards the Jiang Mansion, and whispered: "Wait, you said that your friend from the Thief Sect was hunted down by the people from the Jiang Mansion because he saw something, and even exposed the layout of the Demonic Path?"

"Yes."

Chu Tai nodded and asked, "Senior, have you discovered anything?"

"I didn't find anything, but your words suddenly made me doubt whether what the boy inside said was true."

"What did that young friend say?"

"He said that his father was slandered to death by the people of Jiang Mansion because he discovered a relic. I originally thought that the Jiang Mansion he mentioned was just a housekeeper or a top-notch person in the Jiang Mansion. After all, his father was only a sixth-rank official who achieved his status with the help of external forces."

Weng Jieguo touched his chin and said, "But that kid said that although his father used external forces to achieve the sixth rank, the external force he borrowed came from a treasure-hunting rat, who was very talented in detecting treasures. His father said that he found an ancient relic, and as long as he could develop it a little bit, he would be able to get enough resources to join a good sect."

"So, he has always believed that the ones who did it were the main members of the Jiang Mansion, and that it was the owner of the Jiang Mansion who asked the demon monks to kill his father. This is also the reason why he got involved. I originally thought it would be fine to let him make a fuss, but now it seems that there seems to be some hidden story behind it..."

Upon hearing this, Chu Tai whispered another possibility: "Or, this young friend is hiding something from you." "Why, are you interested?"

Weng Jieguo turned around and looked at Chu Tai, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"Jinhua Sect has just experienced a catastrophe, and it is not appropriate for us to intervene in such matters now. I am just curious about what you think, Senior?"

"What should I think? Of course, I'll let him do what he wants. After all, it's normal for this kid to hide something. If he didn't know how to hide the problem he's facing, he would have been killed long ago. And in his eyes, I just happened to pass by and was willing to help him. I'm not his relative, so it's not easy for him to tell me so much."

Weng Jieguo looked indifferent, then reached out and dug his ears, flicked his fingers, and a few white flakes flew out, fell to the ground and turned into a few flying insects that flew towards the Jiang Mansion.

Clapping his hands, Weng Jieguo looked at Chu Tai and said, "Compared to these messed up things, I did see a few demonic bastards walking out. Are you interested in going with me to take a look?"

"I just happen to want to see the magical powers of Wenxia Gorge."

"Then you will be disappointed. Wenxia Gorge itself is not a sect with a complete heritage, but a force with a collection of ideas. Therefore, Wenxia Gorge does not have many magical powers that can be called exclusive to the sect..."

As he spoke, Weng Jieguo leaped into the void, and his ability to hide and escape was much better than Qiao Ran'er's.

Obviously, Weng Jieguo also wanted to take this opportunity to see Chu Tai's abilities.

He stared at the man who was leaving. Mist rose from the mountains and rivers under his feet, and then turned into a shadow. He took a step forward, and the mountains and rivers around him changed, following the old man Jie Guo closely.

Chu Tai watched from afar as Weng Jie Guo deliberately confronted the three demon monks. After a brief verbal conflict, he deliberately went to a place with few people, attracted several demon monks, and then killed the three.

During the whole process, Weng Jieguo's movements were very easy and fast, without any unnecessary movements. At the same time, the magic weapon he used was also somewhat special. It was a rare bow-type magic weapon, and the arrows he shot were also very interesting.

"The last one to come is the first to arrive, the effect is the cause, a moment faster..."

Chu Tai sensed silently and sensed three different magical powers from the arrows that killed the three demon cultivators.

"Well, did you see anything?"

"Senior, you should have used three different magical powers. The manifestations should be that you were the last to act but the first to arrive, that you can confuse the cause with the effect, and that you acted a split second faster. The magical power that flashed for a split second seems a bit inconsistent..."

Chu Tai described what he had seen, causing Weng Jieguo, who was extracting the souls of the three demon cultivators, to narrow his eyes slightly.

"You have good eyesight. You actually figured it out. You're right. Among all the magical powers I used, only the last one has a problem. But these are the more distinctive magical powers in our Wenxia Gorge. Basically everyone will learn this magical power. It is also the basis of many magical powers. For example, the "start last, arrive first" and "cause and effect reversed" that I used earlier were derived by my teacher from the magical power of "speeding up a moment."

The fingertips flashed with spiritual light, penetrating into the soul of a demon cultivator, as if exploring his memory. Weng Jieguo said calmly: "By the way, there has always been a saying in the gorge that if you use this magical power for a moment, everyone's final results will be different."

'Everyone is different?'

Chu Tai's original body in Jinhua Cave Heaven had been paying attention to the actions of his split spirit, so naturally he also heard these words. He silently recalled the information of Wenxia Gorge and asked someone to send the relevant records. After comparing them one by one, he found that many cultivators in Wenxia Gorge who left records of using bow-type magic weapons seemed to have a unique bow and arrow magical power.

"It's actually true..."

Chu Tai's spiritual sense moved slightly. He always felt that this seemed to involve some news related to him, but he couldn't find the source. He could only put it aside temporarily and use his distraction to communicate with Weng Jie Guo.

The brief exchange between the split spirit and the original body also allowed Weng Jieguo, a cultivator from Wenxia Gorge, to see the clues. He reached out and probed into the soul of the second demon cultivator. His face was calm, and he asked casually, "Did anyone contact you?"

"The one who got the Guang Zhao Arrow was Master Tai Ning, the head of the Jinhua Sect. He was curious about the events in Wen Xia Gorge, so he asked a few questions."

"Oh? I didn't expect that the successor to Guang Zhaoya is your leader. I must go and visit him when I have time."

Chu Tai smiled and said, "If you are willing to come, the headmaster will certainly open the bed to welcome you."

"That's not necessary. I haven't just woken up yet. I have some understanding of your Jinhua Sect. I know that you are now the gathering place of the Taiyi Immortal Sect. The Taiyi Sect represents the faction. The Wenxia Gorge where I am is already in decline. There is no need for such a large formation for the time being. Let's talk about this matter when we rise again."

"Then you can rest assured. Although our Jinhua Sect is interfering with the outside world, the Sect Master has not yet entered the fourth rank and has been sitting in the cave. What many disciples do when they go out is just to awaken some of the inheritance of the Taiyi Immortal Sect. Even if you want to make a big fuss, you can't make a fuss."

Hearing Chu Tai's words, Weng Jieguo also smiled and said, "Then I must take this opportunity to take a look. Wait, this is..."

Weng Jieguo frowned slightly, looking at the demon soul in his hand with a trace of solemnity. The next moment, he whispered: "Let's go quickly!"

As he said that, he reached out his hand and wanted to take Chu Tai away.

However, before he could cast a spell, layer upon layer of mist rose up from all around, and then layers of spiritual light fell down, covering the void in all directions and blocking the escape direction.

Looking closely, the source of all the mist and spiritual light is a precious flag. The flag surface is like the night sky, embroidered with the pattern of the seven stars of Xuanwu. There are also four black snake shadows of different shades wrapped around it. If you shake it gently, the surrounding mist and spiritual light will blend inward to form a barrier.

"This seems to be a replica of the Xuantian Soap Carved Flag of the Zixiao Palace."

Chu Tai spoke in a low voice, while Weng Jieguo whispered, "To me, it looks more like the traces of the Mysterious Dark Mist Banner of the Demonic Path. You'd better be careful. These four snake shadows are probably some kind of secret demon. They are best at corroding the true Qi and confusing people's minds. Just hold on for a while, and I'll help you escape."

"Escape? Don't you think too highly of yourself?"

A sneer came from above, and a dark shadow walked out of the mist. As soon as he walked out, he waved his sleeves and released sand and gravel all over the sky.

The sand was strange. It turned into a curtain of light as soon as it left their hands. In the blink of an eye, Chu Tai and Weng Jieguo saw bright light everywhere they looked. It was very eye-catching.
