Ye Li was stunned when he heard the old man's words. The other party saw through Tunri's background at a glance, which was quite good.
Judging from the way the other party spoke, no matter what it was, at least it was an intelligent being with self-awareness.
This kind of intelligent creature with self-awareness is capable of communication, so Ye Li does not have too many worries.
"Senior, are you the owner of this place?"
Ye Li bowed and then asked the bald old man.
The bald old man nodded and said, "I am indeed the owner of this place, the last successor of the Palace of Wrongful Death, my name is Situ Wuming!
Young man, how did you find yourself here
I remember that we have placed the entrance here in the sea, so it is impossible for anyone to find this place!"
After hearing Situ Wuming's words, Ye Li was completely sure that the other party was able to communicate, and his guard was lowered a little.
“Senior, we accidentally learned about the existence of an illusion in the sea, so we came here specifically to look for it.
Because according to legend, there is an Evergreen ivy here, and I hope to get the crystal at the root of the Evergreen ivy!"
Ye Li answered truthfully.
Although they were talking, Ye Li did not approach the old man rashly. After all, he couldn't figure out the old man's true strength.
As the saying goes, one must always be on guard against others. Ye Li has been in the martial arts world for many years, so he naturally won't be too reckless.
After hearing Ye Li's answer, the old man showed a strange look on his face and said, "How do you know that there is an Eternal Ivy here? Logically speaking, things here should not be spread out!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Li told Tu Jin how he had mistakenly come here.
Situ Wuming was stunned when he heard this, and then he suddenly realized: "So that's how it is, someone accidentally came here and spread the news here.
But no one has come in for so many years, and I thought it was impossible for anyone to find this place.
Meeting is destiny, young man, why don't you come over here?"
Situ Wuming had a puzzled look on his face and said to Ye Li.
Hearing his words, Ye Li was stunned for a moment, then said: "Senior, did you create those monsters outside
Or, were they all created by the Wrongful Death Palace?"
Situ Wuming was stunned for a moment, then he smiled bitterly and said, "Those monsters were created by my father. It is said that they are used to protect me, but in my opinion, they are just my father's experimental subjects."
Hearing his words, Ye Li was a little confused.
Yin Fire God Puppet said: "You, the Palace of Wrongful Death, have always had the ability to control death energy, but one day you suddenly disappeared from the world. What on earth is going on? "
Yin Fire God Puppet asked the biggest question in his mind.
Situ Wuming looked at the Yin Fire God Puppet for a while and said, "I just said that you looked familiar. It turns out that you are from the same era as us.
You are right. We in the Palace of the Dead have always had the ability to control death energy, and we were once famous in the martial arts world.
It’s just that we have always been non-competitive and have not exposed ourselves too much to the public’s sight.
As for our disappearance... it's all my father's fault!? "
Hearing Situ Wuming's words, Ye Li was a little confused and asked, "Senior Situ, what's going on?"
Situ Wuming didn't care about Ye Li and the others standing far away, he just raised his voice and said: "The ancestors of our Wrongful Death Hall accidentally mastered the power of life and death.
He also passed down his method of mastering the power of life and death, so that all of us in the Palace of the Dead can use the death energy to fight.
This also makes our Hall of the Dead extremely powerful, and ordinary forces are simply no match for us.
Soon, the Hall of Wrongful Death was passed down to my father’s generation. My father had no interest in dominating the martial arts world. What he cared about was immortality!!!”
Hearing his words, Ye Li was startled and said, "Immortality, this... How is it possible? Without reaching the supreme realm of the Way of Talismans, no one can be immortal. Life and death itself is part of the Way of Heaven!!"
Situ Wuming nodded and said, "You are right, birth, aging, sickness and death are the laws of nature, and no one can go against them.
My father originally created a formation that could draw out the dead air from the human body, thus allowing the body to maintain vitality.
He thought that doing this would make people immortal, but who knew that this was not the case.
In the beginning, we did benefit from this formation. The dead energy accumulated in all our bodies became very weak, and our aging speed continued to slow down, and it almost stopped.
However, the laws of nature are not so easy to go against. When the amount of dead air extracted from our body reaches a certain level, the growth rate of the dead air begins to accelerate.
Moreover, the vitality in our bodies becomes weaker and weaker as the deathly air is sucked away from our ears.
We all felt that the dead energy in our bodies could no longer be absorbed by the formation, because the more dead energy was absorbed, the weaker the vitality in our bodies became.
We have come to understand that life and death are a symbiotic relationship. There is death when there is life, and there is life only when there is death.
Unilaterally absorbing death energy will only make one's own vitality weaker.
My father realized this too late. By the time he reacted, a large group of people in the sect had already lost their vitality and died.
For this reason, my father finally stopped the formation that was constantly extracting the death energy from everyone, and began to think of ways to restore everyone to normal.
However, his idea was too simple. Our changes could not be restored so easily. The speed at which the death energy in everyone's body was generated was many times faster than in the past.
As a result, the old man who could have lived for a few more years became the first to die in the sect.
The death energy in these people's bodies continued to pour out, and we had no way of stopping it. We could only watch them die one by one. The speed at which we extracted the death energy was completely unable to keep up with the speed at which it appeared.
The father regretted what he had done before and began to look for ways to change everything.
As more and more people died suddenly, my father's heart began to become confused.
One day he suddenly had a crazy idea. He thought that since it was impossible to stop the gathering of death energy, could he use this death energy to prolong people's lifespan
This may sound like nonsense, but he really intends to do it.
In my father's opinion, since the rich life force cannot make people immortal, then can we use the death energy to change our bodies so that they will no longer be affected by the death energy and thus achieve immortality? "
