Subsequently.
Qin Shujian also told Xia Chao about the current situation of the human race.
Since it is to exchange news.
Then equal exchange is required.
Anyway, this news is not a secret. Maybe one day a clan will come here.
All right!
In Qin Shujian's opinion, the probability of someone coming here is low.
This is already the inner boundary of the sea area.
Moreover, the sea area is vast and boundless. Although Tianwen Island is not small, it is like a grain of sand to the entire sea area and is not very eye-catching at all.
Even if someone is lucky enough to enter the inner circle, they may not be able to find Tianwen Island.
And look at the situation on Tianwen Island.
It must be that no outsiders have arrived for a long time.
At least after the destruction of heaven, no outsiders will come.
Xia Chao was also lost in thought now.
After a long time, he sighed: "I didn't expect that the human race has weakened to this point, the immortals have disappeared, and the gods can also be emperors."
In words.
Many people have disdain for the Human Emperor.
Qin Shujian smiled in response.
Anyway, what the other party disdains is the Human Emperor, not him, so what does it matter.
As for whether the Human Emperor can destroy Tianwen Island if he takes action, the probability is quite high.
But these words.
Qin Shujian couldn't say it out loud, he just complained in his heart.
Tianwen Island is not strong, but its vision is really high.
But the more this happened, the happier Qin Shujian became.
The history of Tianwen Island is older than he thought, and many of the things he wants to know may be known from Xia Chao.
Subsequently.
Xia Chao looked at Qin Shujian and said, "If you have anything you want to know, just ask. Some things are better known to others than to disappear with time."
Qin Shujian said: "May I ask what the great calamity that the senior is talking about is?"
A catastrophe that caused the destruction of heaven.
He was curious.
The Human Emperor and Beiyun Hou should know something, but they are unwilling to tell.
Since he didn't want to tell, Qin Shujian couldn't force him to ask.
Now that I have the opportunity, I just want to know about it.
Xia Chao suddenly fell into memories. There seemed to be some fear on his face, and there seemed to be murderous intent looming on his face. He struggled like this for a long time before giving up, and then he spoke.
"The great calamity originated from the Demonic Abyss. At that time, all races were at their peak, and the Emperor of Heaven established the Heavenly Court to rule over all races in the world. It was a glory that the world had never seen before."
"Unlike today's human race, the celestial beings at that time were also strong, but they were not top-notch."
"Because there are immortals above heaven and humans, the most powerful among the immortals is the emperor, and the emperor of heaven is superior to the emperor."
"Until one day, the Demonic Abyss opened, and a large number of evil demons poured into the heaven and earth, killing all living things and creating demonic disasters, and started an endless fight with heaven and all races..."
Xia Chao kept talking, as if he was remembering something.
He lived too long.
Many memories that are so long ago have been erased by time.
Qin Shujian sat aside and listened carefully.
From Xia Chao's words, he seemed to have seen the past when all races were at their peak.
Human race, demon race, spirit race, god race—
Every powerful race has a king.
Although some weak races do not have emperors, they also have powerful ones, and even immortals.
At that time, all races were in the most prosperous period of the world.
Nowadays, most races can actually be compared to the current human race. Even the weak race at the bottom of the ten thousand races is not much weaker than the current human race.
The strength of the human race lies in having the Human Emperor, a powerful man who can kill.
Without the Human Emperor, the human race may not be stronger than those weaker races.
Because from Xia Chao's words, we can know that in the past, all races, even the weakest ones, had no less than ten powerful men.
If Xia Chao hadn't said it himself.
Qin Shujian would never believe that the former Ten Thousand Races could be so glorious, and the former Human Race was so powerful.
Among all races.
The human race is number one.
There is no other, because the Emperor of Heaven is the human race.
The Emperor of Heaven can intimidate all races and establish the supreme heaven. His title as the strongest among all races is understandable.
Qin Shujian said: "Is it possible that even with such tyrannical strength, all races can't resist Demon Abyss?"
"Can't resist!"
Xia Chao shook his head and said: "The evil demons are too strong. The weakest evil demons in the Demonic Abyss are at the level of gods, and except for a few means, they cannot be killed at all. That's all.
Among the demon gods in the Demonic Abyss, the weak ones are at the seventh level of heaven and humans, while the strong ones have reached the level of immortals.
In the past, when Demon Abyss invaded the world, many races were destroyed. Then Heaven reacted and organized strong men to fight against Demon Abyss, but they were still retreating steadily. "
Xia Chao sighed.
"Actually, before you arrived, I had already guessed that Heaven might be destroyed, but I still had an illusion in my heart, hoping that Heaven would win."
"But from now on, Heaven has still failed."
Hear the words.
Qin Shujian was silent for a moment, and then said: "Heaven is not considered a failure. At least there are no evil spirits raging in the world now."
"Yes, heaven has not been defeated, and all races have not been defeated."
"The evil demon was still defeated."
There was a sparkle in Xia Chao's cloudy eyes, and a cheerful smile appeared on his face.
But judging from his wrinkled skin, this smile is a little penetrating.
Qin Shujian said: "I dare to ask who the senior is and why he knows so much about the affairs of the heaven. If you know how far back in time it has been, it must have been tens of millions of years!"
"A million years ago? Maybe!"
Xia Chao muttered something, then shook his head, looked at Qin Shujian and said seriously: "My surname is Xia!"
Qin Shujian has a black question mark face.
Then what
Your last name is Xia, what does it mean
Seeing Qin Shujian's expression, Xia Chao shook his head again and sighed: "It seems that Heaven has been destroyed for a long time. No one even knows Xia's name."
"Well, I'm short-sighted, I hope my seniors won't blame me."
"Forget it!" Xia Chao said, and his originally stooped back suddenly straightened a bit, and he said seriously: "The former Human Emperor was named Emperor Xia!"
Emperor Xia!
Qin Shujian's pupils shrank.
He finally understood why Xia Chao acted like that when he mentioned his last name. It turned out that he was a descendant of the ancient human emperor.
It's no wonder that the other party can know so much information.
Xia Chao continued: "In the past, Emperor Xia had fifteen sons, and the one at the bottom was named Chao!"
Name it the nest
Summer, summer nest!
Qin Shujian was confused for a moment, then looked at Xia Chao and his expression changed drastically.
Summer nest!
Could it be that the other party is still the son of the former Human Emperor, a direct blood relative.
"It's impossible. Tens of millions of years have passed since ancient times. The lifespan of gods and humans is only seven thousand years. How could it be possible? How could it be-"
Qin Shujian was really shocked.
His first reaction was that Xia Chao was lying to him.
But when he saw the other party's calm expression and the strong aura of decay on his body, Qin Shujian was a little unsure again.
He is truly the son of the Human Emperor!
The person sitting in front of me is an old antique who has lived for who knows how many years
but-
Qin Shujian couldn't believe that Xia Chao could live for tens or millions of years.
If this is really the case, how can the other party be just a heavenly being.
Think of this.
Qin Shujian couldn't help but look at Xia Chao with his magic eye.
Suddenly, Xia Chao's attributes appeared in his sight.
See here.
Qin Shujian was secretly surprised again: "The tenth level of heaven and man!"
The tenth level of heaven and man is the pinnacle of great power.
In other words, the opponent is a strong man who is at the limit of heaven and man. He is only one step away from breaking through to the immortal level.
However, looking at Xia Chao's current appearance, it seems that he has reached the tenth level of heaven and earth, but does not have the matching strength.
At least.
Qin Shujian didn't feel any threat from the other party.
Xia Chao looked into Qin Shujian's eyes, with a look of surprise on his face, but he did not get angry and said, "I have never heard of your methods. It's not a good thing to just pry into others rashly."
Qin Shujian reacted immediately and apologized: "Senior, don't blame me for not holding back the next moment."
"Forget it, I have nothing worth hiding."
Xia Chao shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "I'm just a half-dead heavenly monk, that's all I can do!"
Qin Shujian said: "Excuse me for being presumptuous, but I would like to ask, how did the realm of the previous generations survive from ancient times to the present day?"
"Could it be said that there is really a way to immortality in this world?"
He asked questions that any normal person would ask.
Living from ancient times to the present.
No matter how good Qin Shujian's mentality was, he couldn't suppress the shock in his heart.
If the news spreads, I'm afraid everyone in the world will go crazy about it.
At that time.
Even if the inner sea area is extremely dangerous, there will still be a steady stream of people exploring here.
Because the temptation of immortality is really too great.
At that moment, Qin Shujian had the urge to get the secret of Xia Chao's immortality.
But soon, this impulse was forcibly suppressed by him.
Immortality is good, but it definitely comes with a price.
You can tell by looking at Xia Chao's appearance.
If there is really no price, how can the other party wander around in the tenth level of heaven? In other words, it is really so difficult to break through to immortality. For tens of millions of years, there is no chance of success.
Qin Shujian doesn't know and isn't sure.
He knows a lot of things, but that's relative.
Compared with Xia Chao, he really knew too little.
Qin Shujian was struggling in his heart, and Xia Chao was also watching him.
After he put down the impulse in his heart, Xia Chao smiled slightly and said: "There is no real immortality in the world. The so-called immortality has to pay a price."
"What you need to know is that if you get anything, you have to pay a corresponding price."
"I have lived from ancient times to the present, and the price is that I will never be able to break through the current realm, and I will never be able to leave this hall, and my body will continue to age."
Xia Chao's tone was incomprehensible.
Immortality comes with a price.
As the descendant of Emperor Xia, how could his talent be weak
When Qin Shujian heard this, he secretly said, "Sure enough."
Xia Chao glanced at him, and then continued: "The Demon Abyss invaded and all races were defeated. The former Emperor was afraid that the inheritance of the human race would be cut off, so he asked me to take a part of the human race overseas to preserve the foundation.
Among the ten thousand races, the Monster Race and the Spirit Race also have this idea, and the three races hit it off immediately.
Then each of them dispersed a very small part of their strength to go overseas, and finally found Tianwen Island before settling down here. "
Xia Chao seemed to have not spoken for many years.
Still, these things had been held in his heart for too long. When he met Qin Shujian today, he felt the urge to tell them all.
"The Human Emperor once said that if all races defeat the evil demon, then he will issue a new edict to bring us back. If all races are defeated by the evil demon, then we will be the last of the three races of humans, demons, and spirits. of blood.
I waited for the three tribes to come to Tianwen Island and waited day and night for the message from the emperor of the three tribes.
However, after waiting for a long time, nothing happened. Only the war continued. Even if we were hiding overseas, we could still feel it clearly.
Until one day, I seemed to see heaven falling, the heaven and earth were shaking, the sky was roaring, and the rain of blood had been pouring down for three full years—"
Xia Chao seemed to have returned to the scene back then.
There was panic in his eyes first, and his tone became a little more urgent: "We can know that there is a war outside, and we can also feel that strong men are falling. The human emperor, the demon emperor, the spirit emperor - the emperors of all races are falling, and all the people in heaven are falling. Immortals are also falling.
We want to go to war, but there is no way, because Tianwen Island is the last inheritance and hope of the three tribes. "
"We have been waiting, waiting for the summons from the emperors of the three clans, hoping that all clans will eventually win."
"But a thousand years have passed, three thousand years have passed, five thousand years have passed, and there has been no news from the three tribes."
"We thought that Heaven was defeated and the world turned into a demonic land, but there was only a glimmer of hope left, so we kept the inheritance alive and waited for our emperor to send people to pick us up again."
Hear these words.
Qin Shujian somewhat understood Xia Chao's thoughts, and there was a glimmer of hope that would never be extinguished, even if it lasted for millions of years, he would never forget it.
But now he has brought news of the destruction of Heaven and the retreat of evil spirits into the Demon Abyss.
To a certain extent, he was able to put an end to the other party's obsession.
suddenly.
Qin Shujian was startled again, looking at Xia Chao with a slightly weird look.
If you put an end to his obsession, the other party won't hang up after saying a few words.
If that were the case, it would be a lot of fun.
Qin Shujian thought about the senior masters he had heard of in the past, who seemed to have died immediately after they had finished speaking.
Xia Chao didn't know what Qin Shujian was thinking, so he said, "In order to preserve the inheritance, someone chose a forbidden method to fuse themselves with the Taoist tools and transform them into an alternative tool spirit to exist in the human world in an eternal way.
Endless years have passed, and I thought no more humans would come, but I never thought that today I would be waiting for you. "
Forbidden method!
Integrate with Taoist tools!
Hearing this, Qin Shujian immediately extinguished his remaining illusions about immortality.
He finally knew the reason why Xia Chao didn't die.
Emotions have transformed themselves into tool spirits, and they have survived until now.
After all, as long as Taoist artifacts are not destroyed, they can last forever with the world. Xia Chao's approach can actually be regarded as a different kind of immortality.
But for Qin Shujian, this is definitely not what he wants.
Being forever imprisoned by a Taoist weapon, unable to leave, and one's cultivation level remains unchanged, there is no difference between drinking poison to quench one's thirst.
Find out what happened in Xia Chao and the great catastrophe in ancient times.
Qin Shujian also understood one thing, and that was why the Human Emperor and Beiyun Marquis had always avoided talking about the Great Tribulation of the Demon Abyss.
It's really because of this matter that I really can't say it out loud.
If only the human race knew that in the past, all the races and the heavens, with their power far exceeding the current human race hundreds of thousands of times, could not resist the Demonic Abyss.
Then what was originally an incentive to integrate the human race would directly crush the spirit of the entire human race.
When the disaster is too powerful to contend with, collapse is normal.
Think about how you have been practicing hard for hundreds of thousands of years, making complete preparations, and then someone tells you to just go to sleep, it is useless, no matter how much you prepare, you will never succeed.
That was a devastating blow to these people.
at the same time.
Qin Shujian also admired the Human Emperor.
Obviously, the other party is not willing to die in the hands of evil spirits.
Feigning death to integrate the human race, eliminate hidden dangers, open up the three major continents, etc. are all to prepare for the fight against the Demonic Abyss.
"Perhaps this is why the Human Emperor did not prevent Yuan Zong from being promoted!"
Qin Shujian also figured out another thing.
The Demonic Abyss is so powerful.
Every increase in strength of the human race is the capital to fight against the Demonic Abyss.
Qin Shujian took a few deep breaths.
Then he looked at Xia Chao and asked seriously: "I still have a few things that I would like to ask my senior for advice."
"Say it!"
"Senior, have you ever heard of the four major continents?"
"Four continents?"
"They are Dongsheng Shenzhou, Xiniuhezhou, Nanzhanbuzhou and Beijuluzhou." Qin Shujian named the four major continents in his mind.
Xia Chao pondered for a moment, trying to find something in the dissipated memory.
About half an hour later, he came back from his thoughts, shook his head and said, "I have never heard of the four continents you mentioned."
When Qin Shujian heard this, he felt a little disappointed or something else.
Xia Chao has never heard of the Four Continents.
Then the four major continents he knew may not be the same place as the current four major continents.
but.
Qin Shujian didn't give up completely and asked again: "So, have seniors ever heard of Huaguo Mountain?"
"There are many mountains in the world. I can't remember whether there is Huaguo Mountain or not."
"Are there any mountains in the sea?"
"How can there be mountains in the Sea of Death? There are only some scattered islands. Moreover, these islands were all formed by strong men fighting in the past, breaking some of the land, and then floating on the sea."
Xia Chao shook his head, looking a little embarrassed.
He originally thought that his knowledge could answer Qin Shujian's doubts.
As a result, the other party asked several questions, but he had never heard of them.
If Xia Chao hadn't been able to read people's words and knew that Qin Shujian wasn't just talking nonsense, he would have thought that the other party had just made it up.
Qin Shujian asked: "Senior, have you ever heard of the Monkey King, the Monkey King?"
"Monkey King, what a loud tone!"
Xia Chao's turbid eyes revealed a ray of light and said: "Even the emperor of all races would not dare to be called Qitian. Who is this person to dare to have such a title?"
Yes, the other party doesn’t know.
Qin Shujian was speechless.
However, looking at Xia Chao's appearance, he still said: "It's just hearsay. Maybe there is no such person at all."
"That's it. I thought when did the heaven and earth come up with someone who dared to conquer the sky? You must know that the emperor of heaven is supreme and no one can ever be equal to him."
Xia Chao nodded sympathetically.
The Emperor of Heaven is the most powerful one. No one in all races is more powerful than the Emperor of Heaven, not even his father.
Even the majestic Xia Emperor dared not call himself the Monkey King. How could someone who appeared out of nowhere dare to call himself the Monkey King
Qin Shujian was too lazy to argue with the other party, but Xia Chao's words made him think of something.
"I wonder what the surname of the former Heavenly Emperor was?"
Xia Chao was a little unhappy: "How can others know the name of the Emperor of Heaven?"
Qin Shujian said: "Then what is the title of the Emperor of Heaven?"
"The word Emperor of Heaven is the title, so how can there be other titles." Xia Chao looked at him strangely, thought for a moment, and said, "But I once heard Emperor Xia say that the Emperor of Heaven seems to have a surname of Qin.
As for Qin, I don't know. "
Speaking of which.
Xia Chao smiled and said: "Your surname is also Qin, but you are lucky enough to have the same surname as the Emperor of Heaven. Maybe you also have the blood of the Emperor of Heaven."
The bloodline of the Emperor of Heaven
Qin Shujian smiled awkwardly and said, "Senior, I was joking."
He has no interest in finding an ancestor for himself.
It would be okay if the Emperor of Heaven still had power, and maybe he could take advantage of this opportunity, but now the Heavenly Palace is gone, and all races are almost dead.
Even if he wears the name of a descendant of the Emperor of Heaven, there will be no benefit at all.
Looking at Xia Chao in front of him, Qin Shujian didn't intend to ask any more questions.
The other party didn't know anything about it. After chatting for so long, apart from knowing the ancient catastrophe and the surname of the Emperor of Heaven, there was not much information.
Just when he was about to end this conversation.
Qin Shujian thought of something and asked, "Senior, have you ever heard of the Chaser?"
He asked Xu Yuanming to check on the pursuer, but there was no news at all.
This way.
Qin Shujian also had to wonder whether the pursuer was also from ancient times.
There happens to be an ancient living fossil here right now, so I can ask about it.
Thinking again.
He shook his head again.
Xia Chao said: "The pursuer has never heard of it. It seems that I can't give you satisfactory answers to many of your doubts, which makes you disappointed."
It would be a lie to say I'm not disappointed.
But Qin Shujian at least knew that there should be no Huaguo Mountain in the sea area, and the four major continents were not the four major continents he thought.
But the word Pangu cannot be heard.
He also felt that this world was consistent with some of the information in his impression.
Qin Shujian said: "Now that the senior knows that the evil spirits have retreated, do you have any plans to take the various tribes of Tianwen Island to return to the human territory?"
His words also contained a temptation.
Xia Chao sighed, shook his head and said: "If you had been hundreds of thousands of years ago, I should have let the various tribes of Tianwen Island return to their former territories, but now that hundreds of thousands of years have passed, the creatures on the island have taken root here. .
If he leaves, it may not be a good thing. "
What's more, he knows that the evil demon has retreated, and the obsession in his heart has been eliminated, so there is no need to be too obsessed with some things.
PS: The second update is over, go to bed!
