Su Yun continued reading and saw that the murals at the back recorded stories about Wen Qiao, and some small things that happened when this old god settled in the blessed land of Chunyang.
But from these murals, we can see the magnificent history behind them.
For example, the chaotic years after the death of Chaos Emperor, the killing of Emperor Shu by the Evil Emperor, the end of the rule of the old gods, the rise of the immortal world, and the rise of Emperor Feng, and so on.
Although Wen Qiao did not record these things directly, as the master of Chunyang Blessed Land, he was also involved in some events.
For example, when the Evil Emperor rose to power and killed Emperor Shu, he divided the old gods into different titles in order to win them over. Wen Qiao was also among those who were rewarded. Of course, the Evil Emperor only rewarded him as the Lord of the Thunder Pond. He was originally the Lord of the Thunder Pond, but the Evil Emperor's actions gave him a status in the fairy world, so Wen Qiao was happy to accept it.
For example, when Di Feng rose to power and began to seize power, he both tried to win over and suppress the old god.
The mural also records the scene of Wu Xianren coming to pay homage to Wen Qiao, which is quite interesting. Wu Xianren rose to prominence very early. In the middle period of the Evil Emperor, this young immortal could already be seen in some murals.
At that time, martial immortals often knelt at Wen Qiao's feet.
By the middle and late stages of the Evil Emperor, Wu Xianren had become an immortal monarch and was in charge of the Northern Crown Great Wall. He was very disrespectful to Wen Qiao and did not show courtesy when he saw him. Sometimes he even acted arrogantly and ordered him around.
After Su Yun finished looking at the last mural, he felt quite melancholy.
The last mural was painted after Wu Xianren took away the thunder liquid from the Thunder Pool. Suddenly, the sky and earth collapsed. Wen Qiao stood in the Pure Yang Blessed Land and looked at the collapsed area. There, a huge monster crashed into a huge world under the Thunder Pool, causing that world to break and shatter into caves.
These caves flew around.
Lei Chi was also swept up in the battle and flew out.
Since then, the Chunyang Blessed Land should have been sealed by Wen Qiao. The ancient life that had lived here since the beginning of the universe finally chose to leave, and no one knew where it went.
There was no more thunder liquid in the thunder pool, and the Pure Yang Blessed Land no longer produced Pure Yang Qi. It was gradually covered and buried by the ash. Until thousands of years later, when Wu Xianren plotted against Su Yun and Su Yun sacrificed himself to the Evil Emperor, the 72 Cave Heavens were pulled by a huge force and flew to the same place.
That is the "Seventh Spiritual Realm"!
Later, Chai Chuxi came here, unsealed the old god Wen Qiao, and revived Lei Chi.
"The old god Wen Qiao did not die in the battle. He just left in despair."
Su Yun calmed down and looked through the murals from beginning to end. He found that Wen Qiao was a very lazy god who rarely went out and liked to show off his achievements. He had artistic talent and liked to paint on the walls on weekdays.
"Yingying will probably like this big guy, but it's a pity that Wen Qiao has disappeared." Su Yun thought to himself.
He walked forward. According to the records in Chai Chuxi's notes, there were several places in Liyang Prefecture that were sealed by Wen Qiao. The Pure Yang Thunder Pool that produced Pure Yang Qi was unsealed by Chai Chuxi. She didn't want to have any contact with Wen Qiao, so the other places were not unsealed.
Su Yun found the Chunyang Thunder Pool, but did not see any water lingering around.
This Pure Yang Thunder Pool contains Pure Yang True Qi, like a pool of thunder and fire. The Thunder Pool is incredibly large. To Su Yun, it is almost a lake, but to a majestic old god like Wen Qiao, it is indeed a small pool.
Su Yun held up some true energy and wanted to refine it to see if it could be transformed into his own cultivation, but when he thought of the power of the purple thunder, he held himself back.
"If I refine a different kind of vital energy, I will most likely be struck by purple lightning transformed from the innate Qi. Weird!"
Su Yun frowned. The innate Qi, the vital energy of heaven and earth, could only be found in the First Blessed Land and the Purple Mansion. The First Blessed Land was carefully watched by the Queen Mother. So there was only one possibility for the innate Qi that brought disaster upon himself, and that was that it came from the Purple Mansion!
"Could it be that it is really Zifu who is striking me?"
He shook his head and whispered, "Shui Yinghui is not in the Pure Yang Thunder Pool. I think she is planning to take Wen Qiao's treasure and break the ban somewhere else, so she has been delayed for so long."
Su Yun collected all the pure Yang Qi in the pool and was about to continue searching Liyang Prefecture for the whereabouts of the water when he suddenly saw the exposed pool wall with some strange patterns on it.
Su Yun exclaimed in surprise, jumped into the pool, moved forward and studied the patterns carefully.
"It looks like a Chaos Rune, but it's not exactly the same."
Su Yun pondered, these runes are variations of chaos runes, many times more complicated than chaos runes, but that makes them easier to understand.
"This may be a shortcut to cracking the Chaos Rune!"
Su Yun's eyes lit up, and he was about to call Yingying, but then he remembered that because his own heavenly tribulation was so fierce, Yingying was taken away by Empress Hehuan to avoid being implicated by his own heavenly tribulation.
He had no choice but to take out a pen and paper to record his insights bit by bit.
"Without Yingying by my side, it's very difficult to study things."
He sighed and continued to copy down his memories, slowly comprehending and understanding, trying to figure out the meaning of each rune and the principles contained in it. His progress was quite slow, not as fast as when Yingying was by his side.
In the Pure Yang Thunder Pool, pure Yang true Qi was gradually gathering. This true Qi was born from the calamity of all living beings, but it was free from the calamity of all living beings. Su Yun immersed himself in it and found that this pure Yang Qi did not need to be refined. It would penetrate his own path, wash away the impurities in the path, and make his soul purer.
"Pure Yang Qi can actually have such a miraculous effect?"
The thunder pool was vast, and the runes imprinted on it were also very large. The runes were constantly changing, and contained wonderful truths. Unconsciously, Su Yun was immersed in the joy of deciphering the thunder, forgetting everything and completely forgetting that the purpose of his trip was to find Shui Yinghui.
In the Pure Yang Thunder Pool, thunder and fire filled the air, submerging Su Yun.
After an unknown amount of time, a slight cough was heard, awakening Su Yun who was immersed in studying runes in the thunder pool.
"The sound of water echoing!"
Su Yun was just about to swim out of the pool of thunder when a smooth leg appeared in front of him. He looked up and saw Shui Yinghui standing by the pool, undressing, intending to enter the pool and soak in the pure Yang Qi.
"Should I tell her I was checking the runes in the pool?"
Just as he thought of this, Shui Yinghui had already taken off her clothes, soaked in the pool, stretched out her limbs, and swam gently in the pure Yang Qi.
Su Yun blushed and turned away, thinking, "It's too late for me to tell her now, and I can't explain it clearly. Even if I tell her that I'm studying runes, I'm afraid she won't believe it. I might as well not tell her that I'm in the pool. I'll continue studying runes and not look at her, so it won't be considered taking advantage of her. When she's done, she'll go out by herself."
Su Yun swam quietly in the pool, trying to figure out the other runes, but he couldn't help but look back a few more times.
"I am a gentleman."
Su Yun retracted his gaze and turned his head to continue studying the runes, silently saying in his heart: "I am a gentleman, I am a gentleman... I am not! No, I am... No, I am not!"
He was struggling internally, one moment he was studying the runes, the next moment he pretended to glance at them casually, it was truly contradictory.
Shui Yinghui had several wounds on her body, which slowly healed after being soaked in the pure Yang Qi. It was obvious that this kind of spiritual energy had a miraculous healing effect.
"The arrangement of that old god is really difficult to deal with. It took a lot of effort to unlock his seal and obtain a treasure. This treasure came from the chaos. If it is used to refine the sword, it is definitely an extremely rare treasure. It is worth the trip!"
Shui Yinghui's voice was a little excited, and then she coughed softly. She quickly reached out to rub her chest and whispered, "The wound caused by the tribulation will never heal. Even if I soak here, it won't heal. I can only suppress it and temporarily delay the outbreak of the sword wound. Will this injury accompany me for the rest of my life..."
Su Yun's eyes were drawn to her wound. He turned his head with great difficulty and thought, "Don't look at it if it's not proper, don't look at it if it's not proper... Her wound was caused by Di Feng's swordsmanship. If she wants to be cured, she must use the art of creation. However, the Immortal Mysterious Art is too overbearing. Even after it is cured, the wound will reappear as the art is used. It will be very troublesome to completely cure it!"
At this time, Shui Yinghui swam past him and took out an irregular stone. Unable to suppress her excitement, she whispered, "Although the true energy in this pool is good, it is far inferior to this treasure!"
Su Yun couldn't help but look over, and was slightly startled, he saw that in Shui Yinghui's hand was a piece of five-colored gold, reflecting five colors!
“Is this thing rare?”
He was quite puzzled: "There are a lot of them on the body of Chaos Emperor. They were used by Immortal Emperor, Evil Emperor and Emperor Shu to seal Chaos Emperor's heart and seven orifices. If they are very precious, I will collect some next time I go there."
Shui Yinghui used the Pure Yang Qi in the Pure Yang Thunder Pool to suppress the sword wound on her heart, and gradually she stopped coughing. She then walked slowly to the Pure Yang Thunder Pool, sat down by the pool, and put on her clothes one by one.
Su Yun breathed a sigh of relief, finally freeing himself from the contradiction between who he was and who he wasn't. He thought to himself, "After she leaves, I can leave this forbidden area and pretend to meet her outside. No one will be embarrassed."
A lingering voice came from the bank of the pond, saying: "Mr. Su..."
Su Yun was shocked: "She found me?"
Shui Yinghui's voice came: "Although Su Jun and I were once enemies, he is a man of broad mind and worthy of respect. He may be a little absurd in his actions, but he has done me a favor. This fairy energy can help avoid disasters, so I took the fairy energy here and gave it to him, as a way of repaying his kindness..."
Su Yun knew that something was wrong, and suddenly the Pure Yang Qi in the Pure Yang Thunder Pool decreased sharply!
Shui Yinghui put his sleeves in a scoop and collected all the pure Yang Qi in the pool, and then he saw Su Yun in the pool.
Shui Yinghui widened her eyes, feeling embarrassed and angry, and her fists clenched tighter and tighter.
Su Yun stood in the pool with a bewildered look on his face. When he saw her, he was suddenly surprised and delighted. He smiled and said, "What the ancient book said is correct! There is indeed a passage that leads directly into the Pure Yang Thunder Pool! Miss Shui, how did you get in? Do you also know this secret passage?"
Shui Yinghui was suspicious and asked, "What secret passage?"
Su Yun smiled and said, "I was overcoming the tribulation before and found an ancient book on the shore of the Thunder Pond. The ancient book said that there was an old god's residence in the Thunder Pond, called Liyang Mansion. There was a blessed land in it, and I could sneak in through a secret passage without alerting the old god. So I followed the passage and finally came here."
Shui Yinghui relaxed her clenched fist and said, "Why do we need a secret passage? This mansion has no seal, just walk in directly!"
Su Yun was stunned and asked suspiciously, "Are you lying to me?"
"Why would I lie to you?"
Shui Yinghui still had some doubts, so she asked, "How long have you been here?"
Su Yun said: "When I first arrived here, I saw you shaking your sleeves."
Shui Yinghui was still a little skeptical and was about to ask him for the ancient book to read, but she saw Su Yun was furious and tore the ancient book into pieces: "This broken book deceived me and wasted more than ten days!"
Shui Yinghui smiled and said, "Since you are here, you have come at the right time. I have collected some immortal energy from this blessed land these days. This immortal energy has the effect of escaping disasters and avoiding calamities. I will give it to you to prevent the purple thunder from striking you again."
Su Yun thanked him, collected the pure Yang Qi, and said, "In the ancient book just now, it said that this place is called the Pure Yang Thunder Pond, and the immortal energy produced is called the Pure Yang Qi."
Shui Ying replied: "I see. Why don't you refine the pure Yang Qi?"
She stared straight into Su Yun's eyes and said, "After anyone gets the immortal energy, the first thing they think of is to take it and refine it. But you just took the pure yang energy and didn't refine it. You seem to know how to use this immortal energy! How long have you been here?"
Su Yun smiled and said, "Of course I read about the usage of Pure Yang Qi in ancient books, so I knew that it doesn't need to be refined."
Shui Yinghui sneered, "The ancient books have been destroyed by you again, and there is no evidence even if you die."
Su Yun smiled and said, "I just destroyed it."
"Am I pretty?" Shui Yinghui suddenly smiled.
Su Yun couldn't help but feel a fire in his heart when he heard this, but he suppressed it forcefully and said with a smile, "It looks good... but not as good as the runes in the Pure Yang Thunder Pond. If you have nothing else to do, you can go out. I'll study these runes while I take a bath."
Shui Yinghui snorted, fluttered her sleeves, and turned away.
