Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

Chapter 551: Calamity of Heaven and Earth, Stargazing Mountain

The wind blows from the tip of a blade of grass, and disaster strikes unexpectedly.

On the Qingfeng Ancient Road, Shen Yichen defeated Hongyi Qiongyu with a move called “Xuan Ru Tiandi”. He used this move unintentionally and made her lose her mind, but he didn’t know that the change of heaven and earth was a calamity, not his calamity, but the calamity of heaven and earth!

No, it was also his calamity. Perhaps from the moment Shen Yichen began to practice the Xuanxu Chenxiao Jue, it was a calamity, a calamity that he could not avoid at all. Shen Yichen certainly didn't know it, but his master, the old Taoist priest, knew it, because the calamity of heaven and earth started from Guanxing Mountain.

On Guanxing Mountain, there is still a pavilion, a table, and a cup of tea, but the sun is hidden by thick clouds, the sky is dark, the wind is raging, and sand and rocks are flying.

In the long pavilion, the old Taoist priest frowned and looked into the distance. Behind him were two green monkeys, who were Xiao Ling'er's parents. They looked frightened and scratched their ears and cheeks.

"Chen'er, Xuantian Pavilion can understand the way of heaven and earth, and know the changes of heaven and earth, but it cannot see through the hearts of people in the world. Your master cannot bear to see the world fall into catastrophe, and cannot bear to see all living beings suffer. So, you have left a glimmer of hope for this world, and fought for a thousand years of peace for this world. Unfortunately, all living beings do not know this. Today, your master knows that he was wrong. But in this world, must the strong prey on the weak? Is there no way to coexist peacefully?"

The old Taoist priest's expression was filled with sadness.

"Haha, a thousand years ago, Xuantian Pavilion insisted on going against the will of heaven, sealing the interface and eliminating the evil spirits, but they didn't know that the differences, evils and changes in this world are caused by human hearts, not power. What was the result? They reaped what they sowed, destroying us and themselves. This is cause and effect, this is retribution!"

In Lingchen Residence, that person is still there, but perhaps he can't be called a human being, right? After thousands of years, he still survives. Is he still a human being? But what about the old Taoist priest? It seems that he has also experienced thousands of years!

"Hey, you and I have lived alone on this Guanxing Mountain for thousands of years, how come you can't see through it? The seal of Xuantian Pavilion back then can only last for a thousand years. Even if Chen'er doesn't leave Guanxing Mountain, the seal of the world will eventually dissipate. The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth cannot withstand the passage of time, so how can the seal resist it?"

Inside Lingchen Residence, the voice asked doubtfully:

"W-what do you mean?"

After a moment, he exclaimed:

"You, you, you deliberately let your apprentice go down the mountain? You want him to find a way to save himself before the seal between heaven and earth is lifted?"

The old Taoist sighed helplessly:

"I have been with you on this Guanxing Mountain for a thousand years, but you don't understand my heart at all. Back then, Xuantian Pavilion seemed to be targeting you, but why can't you see through it? It was also to save you! Back then, with the power of the Ji family, after pacifying the demons, it was you and Xuantian Pavilion that were targeted!"

After the old Taoist priest finished speaking, he pondered for a while and sighed:

"Alas, who in this world can understand my master's painstaking efforts? But the Ji family has capable people. I never thought that a thousand years later, someone would actually see through the trap set by my master!"

After the old Taoist priest finished speaking, he turned and looked at the tea on the stone table, muttering to himself:

"I really can't figure it out. Even with Ji Xuanfeng's intelligence and talent, he couldn't see through it. How could someone in the Ji family see through the situation that happened a thousand years ago? Was this an unintentional act? Or did he really see through it?"

Inside Lingchen Residence, the man seemed to not understand either, and asked softly:

"I don't understand, since you deceived Ji Xuanfeng, why did you choose the Ji family to be your apprentice?"

The old Taoist priest did not respond, but a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. It was an evil smile, a playful smile!

Lingchen Residence fell into silence. After a long time, that person suddenly exclaimed:

"No, Xuantian Pavilion is not for world peace at all. The thousand-year seal you mentioned is not for the purpose of lifting the seal, but for destroying the Emperor Tree. A thousand years ago, Xuantian Pavilion and the Ji family jointly sealed the gate to the world and sealed the evil demon. Your master only wanted to integrate the power of the Eight Paths of Xuantian into the Emperor Tree. This is the fundamental purpose of Xuantian Pavilion!"

Inside the pavilion, two green apes retreated violently, their bodies filled with the aura of the Holy Emperor, and they looked at the old Taoist priest in shock.

"Hahaha... It's worth it that we have known each other for a thousand years. Xuantian Pavilion has realized the Ten Daos of Xuantian. Why is it that only Shengxu Yaohuang Jue can be recognized by the Heavenly Dao? My master is not convinced, I am not convinced, and Xuantian Pavilion is even more unconvinced!"

The old Taoist priest didn't seem to care about the changes of the two green monkeys. Instead, he looked at the Emperor Tree in the Guanxing Mountain and said with some sadness:

"Back then, my master exchanged his life for this Emperor Tree, just to let me, let Xuantian Pavilion witness the destruction of Heavenly Dao with my own eyes. Now, I really see it! Hahahaha... Why, why! Xuanxu Chenxiao Jue is the leader of the Ten Daos of Xuantian, why did Heavenly Dao abandon it?"

The old Taoist priest had a ferocious look on his face!

Outside the pavilion, the two green monkeys looked at each other, then turned and ran down the mountain.

"Want to leave? It's too late!"

The old Taoist priest flew out and stopped the two green monkeys with the force of his whisk!

On the Guanxing Mountain, the wind was rising and the clouds were surging. Between heaven and earth, a man and two monkeys were fighting, causing the sky and the earth to change color!

"The Holy Emperor Art of the Unity of Heaven and Earth, Ji Xuanfeng actually tricked me too!"

On the Stargazing Mountain, after everything returned to calm, the old Taoist priest put his hand on his chest and slowly walked into the pavilion, with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.

On the Stargazing Mountain, under the Emperor Tree, two green monkeys snuggled together, but they had no life. They thought that the Emperor Tree on the Stargazing Mountain was the hope of the world, but they didn't expect it to be their burial place. How sad!

Of course they don’t know that this Emperor Tree originated from the Emperor Tree in the Ji family’s imperial city, from the Emperor Tree that was on the road to decline, and the cause of its decline began in the Xuantian Pavilion a thousand years ago!

The old Taoist priest looked at the Emperor Tree and said to himself:

"Could it be that Ji Xuanfeng has noticed something? How could the two of them know the Holy Emperor Art of Uniting Heaven and Earth?"

"You, the master and your disciple, calculated the people of the world, but others can't calculate you? I am a little curious now. Is your useless disciple a pawn for you to deal with the Ji family, or is he a pawn for the Ji family to deal with Xuantian Pavilion? Haha, fight, fight, only then will we have hope..."

Inside Lingchenju, the voice sounded very proud, but for some reason, it also revealed a sense of sadness!

There is only one reason, because the Emperor Tree is also their root, but the old Taoist priest doesn’t know it!

The old Taoist frowned and looked towards Lingchenju!

"You don't have to pretend. I know the seal has weakened. When Xuan entered the Nine Heavens, the world changed. I didn't expect Chen'er to comprehend the true meaning of the Xuanxu Chenxiao Jue so quickly!"

"You, you have been on guard against me?"

"What do you think? Xuan entered the Nine Heavens, and all the seals between heaven and earth have changed. Alas, I thought Chen'er could untie the knot in my heart first, but he opened the calamity of the world first. But it's good this way, and let the world know what the world will be like without Xuantian Pavilion! The Eight Xuantian Sects betrayed Xuantian Pavilion, so they should be punished!"

After the old Taoist priest finished speaking, dark green light circulated around his body. He waved his whisk, and the light continuously flowed into Lingchenju, driving the dark and strange aura that was about to overflow from the entrance of Lingchenju into the bottom of the Xuanyu platform!

"Why are you doing this? If we break the seal, won't it be beneficial to you? We will definitely deal with the Ji family first!"

The voice below Xuanyu Stage sounded really unwilling and puzzled!

"Xuantian Pavilion is only fighting for the way of heaven and earth, but you and the Ji family are fighting for this world!"

After the old Taoist priest finished speaking, the dark green light retracted, and his snow-white hair became dry and dull, and his silver face turned into a withered look. In an instant, he became old, and now looked like a dying man!

The old Taoist priest held the table with his hands and said to himself:

"I have lived five hundred years longer than Ji Xuanfeng, but he actually schemed against me. Could it be that the divination back then was really a ray of hope that Ji Xuanfeng left for the Ji family?"

The old Taoist priest reached out and took out three copper coins, muttering to himself:

"It's a pity that I only have three Heavenly Secret Copper Coins. If the Heavenly Secret changes, it will be a huge mistake!"

“Hahahaha… How can ordinary people like you know the people under the Emperor’s tree? Hahahaha…”

The people under the Xuanyu Stage were really disappointed, because he was afraid that he would never be able to leave in this lifetime!

When the clouds and winds surged on Guanxing Mountain, he thought it was God's will! God wanted to unseal him, but it turned out not to be the case. Perhaps the old Taoist priest was right. God's will was just a little bit off, but the result was very different.

The old Taoist priest frowned, he was thinking, he was recalling, where was the flaw revealed, how did Ji Xuanfeng know his secret?

After a long time, the old Taoist looked towards Lingchenju and said in surprise:

"Ji Xuanfeng knows of your existence?"

"Hahaha... you just realized it now, it's too late! Ji Xuanfeng found me the first time he went to Guanxing Mountain, and we even communicated with each other. His heart is bigger than yours, and of course more upright than yours. But what a pity! I'm afraid he has no hope in this life."

Under the Xuanyu stage, the voice was truly sad, like a dying person confessing his sins!

The interesting thing is that the old Taoist priest, who is about to die, does not seem to have any remorse in his heart.

"Let me remind you, Master of Xuantian Pavilion, your master may not be dead. I'm afraid his purpose of destroying the Emperor Tree is not what you said!"

The old Taoist priest was startled when he heard this and said in surprise:

"You have never even met my master, how do you know him? What a joke!"

"It's up to you whether you believe it or not, but I can understand that as a chess piece, how can you know what the chess player wants?"

The old Taoist priest looked at the copper plate in his hand again, and after a long while, he whispered to himself:

"Does Ji Xuanfeng also have the Heavenly Secret Copper Coin?"

A breeze blew by, and a few strands of hair fell.

The old Taoist priest finally collapsed on the ground, looked at the vast sea of ​​clouds, and muttered to himself:

"Chen'er, Master couldn't see through the Ji family before, but now he can't see through Xuantian Pavilion either. The calamity of the world has begun, you must not let Master down!"

"Hey!"

"Hey!"

Two sighs were heard from the Guanxing Mountain, one from the dying old Taoist priest, and the other from under the Xuanyu Terrace in Lingchenju.
