The old palace master explained:
“After the 108 Linggu Pills were refined back then, the old man and my friend began to secretly contact various generals and officials in the Heavenly Court, wanting to give them the Linggu Pills.”
“Although there were few responders at the beginning, with the appearance of the Demon Mother and Jiuyuan, and the opening of the Heavenly Demon Battlefield.”
“More and more officials and generals began to suspect whether there were really other Origin Laws besides these sixteen Origin Laws.”
“So, the 108 Linggu Pills in our hands were gradually taken away.”
When he said this, the old palace master sighed and said:
“It’s just that not long after we sent out those 108 Linggu Pills, the Heavenly Court discovered this matter and branded us two as rebels preparing to overthrow the Heavenly Court.”
Later, with the support of other cultivators, my friend successfully escaped from the Heavenly Court.
And I, because of being betrayed by the traitorous disciples under my, was finally thrown into the Heavenly Prison.
“After being imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison for thousands of years.”
“The Jade Mother summoned me out of the Heavenly Prison and asked me to follow under the command of the Taiyi Star Monarch and guard the Yangling Fire Mansion on the fourth floor of this Holy Land of the Jade Pool.”
“At the same time, I am also in charge of refining pills for the Heavenly Court.”
“As for my friend and the Linggu Pills, they have disappeared from the Three Realms ever since.”
After listening to the old palace master’s account, Xu Taiping remained silent for a long time.”
After a while, he took a deep breath and muttered:
So this little Linggu Pill actually has such a tortuous and extraordinary origin.
The old palace master smiled bitterly and said:
“What’s so extraordinary? It’s just the absurd act of two hot-blooded youngsters.”
“Nowadays, the Heavenly Court no longer exists, and there are no ordinary bone cultivators who have truly cultivated the Great Dao beyond the sixteen source methods.”
Xu Taiping frowned and said:
“Perhaps there are already cultivators who have found this Great Dao, but it’s just that you, the old palace master, don’t know about it?”
The old palace master shook his head with a bitter smile and said:
“If this matter really comes to pass, the first one to be wiped out will be the Demon Mother. But I’m afraid you also know that after millions of years of condemnation the Demon Mother still resurrects again and again, showing no sign of being wiped out at all.”
Xu Taiping asked in confusion:
“Why does the life and death of the Demon Mother have to do with the Great Dao outside the Sixteen Origin Laws?”
The old palace master seriously explained to Xu Taiping:
“Because the Demon Mother was precisely born from the Sixteen Origin Laws. As long as these Sixteen Origin Laws are not extinguished, even if the Demon Mother dies a hundred more times, she will still be continuously resurrected.”
“Until she finally devours these Sixteen Origin Laws together with the spiritual realm where we exist, and then she will go from self-generation to self-destruction.”
“The relationship between the Demon Mother and the Sixteen Origin Laws is like that of the ouroboros, coexisting and co-destroying.”
“To untie this deadlock, only by giving birth to the Seventeenth Origin Law outside these Sixteen Origin Laws.”
“And now, since the Demon Mother still exists, it fully shows that in these millions of years, the human world still hasn’t found the Seventeenth Origin Law.”
When he said this, he suddenly paused for a moment and then continued:
“Or rather, in this world, there simply doesn’t exist the Seventeenth Origin Law.”
At this moment, Xu Taiping, who was silently listening to the old palace master’s words, suddenly had his heart beating violently. He felt that many of the confusions in his heart before now had a direction to find the answer.”
He suddenly recalled the words that the Dragon Emperor Ao Yan had said to him before his death——
“Your human race is just a chess piece dropped by certain existences. Sooner or later, it will also be completely wiped out in this world like my dragon race.”
After noticing the change in Xu Taiping’s expression, the old palace master seemed to realize something and immediately said meaningfully:
“Little friend Taiping, if you notice something, there is no need to say it out loud.”
“Because ever since the sixteen source methods descended upon this world, everything that has happened in this world is within the realm of fate.”
Xu Taiping took a deep breath and nodded, saying:
“Thank you, Immortal Elder, for the reminder.”
After another period of silence, Xu Taiping suddenly asked the old palace master curiously:
“Why did Immortal Elder tell me these things?”
He added:
“Since Immortal Elder said that everything in this world has a fixed fate, then whether these things are told to me or not seems to make no difference.”
The old palace master nodded with a smile and said:
“That’s true.”
He continued:
“The reason why this old man told you these things is just because I haven’t sensed the aura of the Spiritual Bone Pill for almost several hundred thousand years, so I’m just a bit nostalgic.”
Although Xu Taiping had some doubts about the old palace master’s answer, he still continued to ask curiously:
“Did Senior also sense the aura of the Spiritual Bone Pill in this holy land before?”
The old palace master nodded and said:
“Since I was imprisoned in this Yangling Fire Phoenix for millions of years, I have intermittently encountered more than a dozen cultivators who have taken the Spiritual Bone Pill.”
“Especially in the tens of thousands of years after the fall of the Heavenly Court.”
“At that time, many former Heavenly Court officials and generals regarded this Spiritual Bone Pill as a magical medicine to revitalize the Heavenly Court and tried to cultivate the seventeenth source method beyond the sixteen source methods.”
“Although I don’t know the final fate of these people.”
“But in the time after that, it was very rare to see cultivators with thesmell of the Spiritual Bone Pill.”
The last time IInduction to it was more than 100,000 years ago.
“If I remember correctly, it should be the rebuilt body of a certain Heavenly Court official in the past.”
When Xu Taiping heard this, his brows immediately furrowed slightly and said:
“Then, Palace Master, do you think that I am the rebuilt body of those officials after they fell to the mortal world?”
The words of the old Palace of the Danyun Palace made Xu Taiping a little suspected about his own background.
The old master smiled and shook his head and said:
“You are not.”
Xu Taiping asked very puzzled:
“Why is the immortal so certain?”
The old palace master smiled and said:
“There is no sign of reincarnation on you, and your soul is less than a hundred years old. It is impossible to be their rebuilt bodies after falling to the mortal world.”
When Xu Taiping heard this, he immediately secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said:
“That’s good.”
He didn’t wish that he was the mortal incarnation of some immortal official or divine general. Even if his background was extremely ordinary, he would rather be the teenager in Erniu Village who often went hungry.
After seeing Xu Taiping’s relieved expression, the old palace master immediately smiled and said,
“If you were their mortal incarnation, this old man wouldn’t bother to waste words with you.”
Xu Taiping smiled dumbly.
The old palace master continued,
“Barring any accidents, that Spiritual Bone Pill in your hand should have been lost by a certain immortal official in the past.”
Xu Taiping furrowed his brows and said,
“It seems that the old daoist who gave the Spiritual Bone Pill to my grandfather should also have a background related to the old Heavenly Court.”
At this moment, Xu Taiping suddenly thought of something and asked with a curious expression,
“Upper Immortal, does the friend you mentioned earlier have a name or daoist title?”
The old palace master thought for a moment, and then replied with a hint of reminiscence in his eyes,
“My friend, his daoist title is Kang Cangzi.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping felt that this name was somewhat familiar, so he carefully recalled it.
A moment later, his eyes suddenly widened and he said in horror,
“Kang Cangzi? His name is also Kang Cangzi?!”
