Chapter 861 The Ultimate Secret
“We have been consciously cleaning up these Lotus Palace beings who have been secretly manipulating our entire extraordinary civilization for a long time.”

"But they are like insects; when one is discovered, it means that thousands upon thousands are already breeding in the shadows."

“There are many of them.”

"But it is precisely because of this vast number that we can match the equally vast number of wandering demons and evil spirits in the outer star sea."

At this moment, the old man's voice was still frail and weak.

But the words that came out of his mouth sounded so powerful and resonant.

It's true that his combat strength has declined.

But in the past, he was also a pioneer of the human race, one of the first to set foot in the boundless sea of ​​stars.

To outsiders, many of these things are ancient historical secrets, but to him, they are memories of the past.

Even in just a few words, Yue Hanzhang could feel the intense aura of blood and fire that spanned a long period of time.

Just like Yue Hanzhang transformed the forbidden secret realm into the Jade Capital Grotto Heaven.

In his humble beginnings, as long as he didn't reveal such secrets, no one in the world could accurately guess how and where he reflected the Daoist world.

But now, when Yue Hanzhang has reached the pinnacle of human cultivators...

Many things don't require solid evidence; just by weighing a few limited options, the secrets of Yue Hanzhang in the past can be easily guessed by Lin Laogui and the mastermind behind the scenes.

The same principle applies to all beings in the Lotus Palace.

The higher you go, the closer you get to the source and essence of this extraordinary world. As for secrets, the options for distraction and illusions that can be found will become fewer and fewer.

Through those subtle clues, often with just a little thought, one can determine the obvious connection between certain things.

Every living being in the world possesses both form and spirit; this is an irrefutable truth of the way of creation.

All beings of the Lotus Palace of All Colors should also be included here.

Moreover, Yue Hanzhang has even more "evidence" to support this point than this living fossil-like senior.

The lotus-shaped flying saucer he explored showed obvious signs of dismantling in its interior compartments and the connecting passageways between them.

Many of the original rooms were dismantled.

Then, using the materials from these disassembled divine weapon alloys, they were used to forge the mechanical seedlings that carried the souls of the new phases of the Lotus Palace.

Even earlier, this was a flying saucer that clearly carried a human being in physical form!

Think about it this way.

Where exactly did the remains of all the beings of the Lotus Palace go? This is truly a thought-provoking question.

The elder's words may very well be the true answer to this secret!

While Yue Hanzhang was still immersed in the assumptions and judgments made by his seniors.

The old man's aged and frail voice continued.

Moreover, his voice afterwards was filled not only with the poignant reflections on the past, but also with a sense of mystery as if he wanted to uncover a deeper secret.

"I have mistakenly used wandering demons and fierce ghosts to explore the path ahead, but the exploration over hundreds and thousands of years and the gains from the way of wandering demons and fierce ghosts are far more than such a superficial point."

"This actually leads to another crucial point and a realization that touches on secrets—"

"Distortion is not a completely disordered change."

"The radiation emitted by the source of extraordinary power itself may be a strange energy that is difficult for you and me to analyze now."

"But what it ultimately transforms is flesh and blood, a physical shell born from a complete framework."

"Martial arts, the way of qi and blood, the way of blood flames, the way of vitality... even extending to the way of internal cultivation and body forging, sublimating into the concept of true form..."

"In the process of exploring and opening up the path to the extraordinary, there are far too many rigorous and comprehensive frameworks of Taoist principles."

"These can all be used to fully dissect the very existence of flesh and blood."

"The so-called wandering demons and evil spirits are precisely this complete and well-ordered flesh and blood essence, which is tainted by radiation power, produces disordered distortion, and then ultimately finds a natural balance between order and disorder."

"It is not completely disordered."

"Otherwise, you won't even see the outline of its form and spirit."

"Therefore, this also means that the complete framework of the Daoist method that carries the Qi and blood itself was only dismantled and partially destroyed during the process of distortion, but a large part of it was mixed in with that strange and evil flesh and blood."

"This part, concerning the framework of Taoism related to flesh and blood, can be captured and interpreted."

"Similarly, after capturing and interpreting this fragmented framework of Daoist principles, we can deduce the approximate original framework of this flesh and blood form."

"Even through the fact that the framework of those Taoist methods collapsed in this process, those remnants survived and were mixed in with the bizarre and grotesque flesh and blood."

"We can also deduce and analyze the entire process of its transformation, starting from the aberration itself!"

“In the past, I hoped to explore the essence of the changes in flesh and blood brought about by the radiation of the source of extraordinary power from this perspective and from this field.”

"And we hope to extract antibody factors that can resist distortion and supernatural radiation from the remaining framework and scripture of flesh and blood."

"Unfortunately, I failed."

"By delving too deeply into theoretical research on external things and neglecting the simultaneous dialectical development of one's own cultivation, one may end up with many seemingly feasible and profound insights, but ultimately only with vague and illusory results."

"However, this kind of in-depth cultivation is not entirely without positive results."

"In the past, Brother Lin pioneered the early form of alchemy."

"But it is precisely my theory, which I can say without any hesitation, that combined these deeply cultivated achievements with Brother Lin's ancient alchemy, and thus created the earliest pharmacology and the earliest medical theory of the human race!" Upon hearing this, Yue Hanzhang looked at the senior with considerable surprise.

Yes.

His current decline and mediocrity are merely the inevitable decay that comes with the passing of life.

But in reality, anyone who can reach the Inner Realm Dao Lord realm is almost always a prodigy among prodigies and a genius among geniuses in a great era.

What lies beneath his current mediocre appearance is his true nature.

It is a legendary experience that even the passage of time cannot bury!

For the first time, Yue Hanzhang even took the initiative and humbly cupped his hands to the senior.

"Yue's achievements today are partly due to his early success, half of which lies in his outstanding talent in the art of combat."

"Half of it lies in the compilation and research and development of Xingliu Medical Pharmacy, as well as its continuous and in-depth exploration in the medical field."

"These factors together have forged the physical and spiritual foundation and Daoist techniques that enable Yue to repeatedly defy those of higher realms today!"

"Strictly speaking, the latter is even more important!"

"I never expected that you would be the founder of a school of medicine, a true pioneer on the path I have been on!"

Upon hearing this, the senior simply waved his hand.

"It's just that they had the advantage of being born and established in the world earlier."

"Generations of outstanding talents are like the ebb and flow of the river of time, the water flowing endlessly. Even without me, there will be successors to pioneer the path of medicine."

"But I say all this because you are also a medical giant of this era."

"If you can truly understand, then at least the methods I used to explore this path are real and true."

"Therefore, I am more able to accept what I am about to say—"

"In the early stages of my research on wandering demons and vengeful ghosts, the distortions of many of them were not as severe as they are today. It can be said that the humanoid characteristics they exhibited were not merely outline features."

“I once successfully deduced the normal state of a body by working backward from a part of the deformity on them.”

"Then we discovered that their bone structure, acupoints, and meridians are actually quite different from yours and mine in some details."

"This difference is not a tiny, negligible gap between one or two people and you and me."

"But beneath that humanoid outline, within the framework itself, lies a clearly visible, systematic difference!"

"Young friend Yue, you should know the essence behind my words—"

"They are indeed human."

"But they are not humans like you and me, born into this mortal world!"

The moment the elder's words fell.

In an instant, it was like a thunderclap that resounded throughout Yue Hanzhang's spiritual world!

An invisible thread connected everything.

The lotus-shaped flying saucer carrying a large number of people.

The various Lotus Palace members, who have played a prophetic role from the very beginning, have consistently guided the path of human cultivation.

The physical remains of a wandering demon or vengeful ghost.

And the blood rain that once created the entire extraordinary world, that fell from the heavens, from the depths of the boundless starry sea, down to the mortal realm.

……

When all of this is connected in a summary form.

Even if there is no concrete evidence to corroborate it.

However, Yue Hanzhang felt that he had grasped an extremely crucial and true secret—

"So, the beings of the Lotus Palace of All Colors are visitors from outer space?"

"Like the countless sources of extraordinary power that created this extraordinary era, they come from beyond the vast star sea, even further into the boundless cosmos?"

In contrast to Yue Hanzhang's shock.

Even now, the old man remained calm.

It was a serene scene, as if witnessing the purification of the source of extraordinary power.

He even shrugged.

"Like everything else in the world, when you've eliminated other options, when you can't find any other more fitting explanations."

"So no matter how unbelievable this statement may seem, it is still close to the truth!"

And it was at this very moment.

Before Yue Hanzhang could say anything more...

Suddenly.

boom--

An unprecedentedly loud explosion suddenly erupted behind Yue Hanzhang, in the direction of the explored star field.
