Star Trace Gate

Chapter 710: The Land of the Fallen Gods

Qinghe Academy, inside the school.

After listening to Mr. Xu's words, Ren Ye was somewhat confused and speechless. This Hong Ge's family was in Chaolong City, at the foot of Xingshan Mountain, and Master Chu had mentioned this place before. Now even Mr. Xu's last class would be held here. It seemed that...he couldn't avoid this trip to Xingshan Mountain.

Not far away, Mr. Xu distributed paper and pens, then poured a cup of tea for the sponsor and himself, and chuckled, "This is not a coincidence. The fat man Chu you mentioned is quite knowledgeable, and he also saw that the opportunity in Xingshan is more suitable for you. This person is well-versed in ancient and modern times, has a great background, and is a great talent."

"He has a powerful background?!"

Ren Ye asked curiously, "Did you see anything?"

"...I only saw a little bit, but not the whole picture. However, when he wants to tell you, he will tell you." Mr. Xu didn't seem to want to say more, so he just changed the subject and said, "The migration site will be closed for a year and a half, and the battle between the two emperors will start in two years. This period of time is just right for you to go to Xingshan."

Ren also took the teacup: "Speaking of which, why do you all think that the opportunity here is suitable for me?"

"It's not necessarily suitable for you." Mr. Xu pondered for a while: "It's just that the opportunities hidden there are suitable for pursuing the path of hard cultivation of the physical body."

"The Great Dao? Tell me about it!"

Ren Ye urged with great interest.

Mr. Xu walked forward, his voice as gentle as jade, saying, "Legend has it that thousands or even tens of thousands of years ago, a great emperor was born in the Jiuli Dynasty, the Jiuli Great Emperor. There were hundreds of rulers later, and although they unified the Jiuli Dynasty, none of them dared to call themselves emperors, and only called themselves rulers."

"Why?! Because according to legend, a great Dao god was born in the human territory of Jiuli, and that was the Jiuli Emperor. Moreover, even though countless years have passed, his Dao rhyme is still influencing the entire Xingshan Mountain, and his Dao will has not dissipated."

"This is also why the Xingshan Forbidden Land is a sixth-grade secret realm. Because there is still the faint Dao spirit that the Jiuli Emperor has not eliminated. It is full of dangers. If you make a mistake, you may die on the spot."

Ren Ye felt a little strange when he heard this, and asked in confusion: "If it is the Great Dao God, the legendary supreme being...then why has this place also been transformed into a secret realm by the Heavenly Dao? Logically speaking, the Heavenly Dao cannot suppress the Great Dao God, right?!"

"Yes."

Xu Qingyan nodded: "But you don't understand what I mean. The outer part of Xingshan is a sixth-grade secret realm, but the inner part of Xingshan should be a place of no rank. As long as the Dao of the Jiuli Emperor is not eliminated, the Heavenly Dao will never be able to evolve this place into a secret realm. Because the gods have their own Dao, they are in harmony with the Heaven and are not subject to any constraints."

"Mr. Xu, you are knowledgeable and experienced. I would like to ask, are there really great gods in this world?" Ren Ye asked tentatively.

"Maybe there were in the past, but no one has ever seen them. They only exist in legends and books." Xu Qingyan paused for a moment, and then added softly: "However, this trip to Xingshan will help you verify whether there have ever been great gods in this world. Because according to legend, that is the tomb of the Jiuli Emperor, and it is also known as the Land of Fallen Gods."

Ren Ye was silent for a while, then blinked and said, "How long did this Jiuli Emperor live, and how did he die?"

"It's hard to say how long he lived. I've consulted many ancient books, but I didn't find anything." Xu Qingyan shook his head: "However, there are many different opinions about the cause of the fall of the Jiuli Emperor. Some say... The Jiuli Emperor was a fallen god, who was beheaded by another ancient emperor of order beside Chaolong City, and his body turned into the Xingshan Mountains. Others say that the Jiuli territory was once so vast that it would be difficult for a supernatural being to explore the entire picture in his lifetime... But then a disaster came from heaven, and the Jiuli Emperor fought for the territory, transformed into thousands of divine soldiers, beheaded two gods, and caused the territory to collapse, but in the end he only protected a corner of the world, and sat in the sea of ​​blood beside Chaolong City for three days before he fell here...!"

"Is the so-called Ancient Emperor also a great god?" Ren Ye asked with a strong desire for knowledge.

"Since ancient times, those who dare to call themselves emperors, ancestor of Taoism, and heavenly masters are all great gods." Mr. Xu knows everything.

"The ruler of the Daqian Dynasty that is at war with me, and Emperor Wanwu of Southern Xinjiang, both claim to be emperors." Ren Ye blinked: "How do you say that?!"

Mr. Xu was speechless and said, "The ancient emperor has long disappeared, and his legacy has been lost over time. A group of people who play power games in the world have no reverence in their hearts. When the gods appear, there are only the rulers in the world. How can a frog in the well dare to call himself an emperor?!"

"Oh, that's it."

Ren nodded slightly and couldn't help but sigh: "If this Jiuli Emperor really existed... he would be too powerful, right?! He killed two gods in the battle of gods... it sounds awesome."

"Legend has it that the Great Emperor Jiuli is the god of weapons. He refined countless divine weapons and treasures throughout his life. Even among the gods of the Great Dao, he is a very dazzling existence."

"......!" Ren Ye suddenly had an idea: "Is he a craftsman?"

"In my opinion, he should not have any inheritance. He became enlightened and achieved great success on his own." Mr. Xu explained softly: "But this god of weapons should have practiced the way of craftsmen when he was enlightened."

"If that's the case, Xingshan might have left behind the legacy of Emperor Jiuli?!" Ren Ye asked.

"Yes." Xu Qingyan nodded solemnly. "I don't know how many years have passed, but his Dao spirit has not dissipated. Maybe he is waiting for a peerless talent to come and inherit his legacy."

"Alas, those with supernatural powers cannot obtain two inheritances. I am afraid I will not be able to get this opportunity." Ren also sighed: "The people around me also have their own inheritance."

“Haha, it’s hard to say.”

Mr. Xu smiled slightly and shook his head slowly.

"What do you mean?!" Ren was also confused.

"A person with supernatural powers will definitely not be able to obtain two inheritances. This is the iron law of heaven. But you have good luck and can seize other opportunities." Mr. Xu said softly: "When I was looking up ancient books, I found that there may be two treasures hidden in the tomb of the gods in Xingshan."

"What is it?"

"During his lifetime, the Great Emperor Jiuli refined countless magical weapons and immortal artifacts, but his most powerful magical weapon... do you know what it is?" Xu Qingyan asked with a smile.

Ren asked without hesitation: "Flesh body?"

"That's right. Yin-Yang magic refines the soul, while warriors and craftsmen refine the body. If you want to refine a unique divine weapon, your body must be extremely strong." Mr. Xu explained one by one: "Legend has it that the Great Emperor Jiuli became a god through his physical body. In this case, it makes sense that he was able to kill two gods and his body turned into an endless mountain range. There are ancient records that his Emperor Body Heart Sutra is likely to be in the Xing Mountain."

"I see."

"In addition, the Demon Refining Pot, the personal magic weapon of the Jiuli Emperor, may also be in Xingshan." Mr. Xu added: "Although this pot is a replica of an even more ancient transcendent treasure, it can refine all things. Some people say that the Jiuli Emperor relied on the vitality in this pot to irrigate his body, which made him invincible in the world."

"We went to Xingshan to find these two treasures."

"If you can find him, you will be able to fight the Ancient Emperor's son in two years."

Mr. Xu added two more sentences with a serious expression.

Ren Ye frowned slightly: "You mean, if I can't find it, I can just pack up and run away?! I can't fight Prince Qi?!"

"Yes."

Mr. Xu nodded without hesitation: "If you can't find it, you can't participate in the Tiandu Divine Court Conference, otherwise you will definitely perish."

"You don't think highly of me?!" Ren was also a little surprised: "I'm not weak either, okay."

"You don't know that the son of the ancient emperor is not from this place, and he has survived for a long time using an alternative secret method. His background is beyond your imagination, such as the ancient tree in the Land of Fallen Gods...You haven't achieved your luck yet, you haven't turned into a dragon, and you have only been enlightened for a little over a year." Mr. Xu said lightly, "Even if you can enter the fourth rank in two years, you will not be his opponent."

"Heh, he might not have thought of my background." Ren was not convinced.

Mr. Xu squinted at him and suddenly said, "Are you talking about the energy of reincarnation in your body? And... that rather strange finger technique?"

What the hell!

Ren was also shocked on the spot, looking at the other party in disbelief: "You...how do you know that I suddenly realized something in my ancestral land...!"

"The energy of reincarnation can lead to the great way, even gods would salivate. But unfortunately, you have only touched the surface of the finger technique, and it is naturally a piece of cake to deal with ordinary third or fourth-grade ones." Mr. Xu said bluntly: "But your opponent in two years will be an ancient prince who has lived for a long time. You have only practiced your magical powers for a short period of two or three years, and you are going to fight against someone who has learned the secret method for who knows how long... Do you think you have a good chance of winning?"

Ren was a little unconvinced at first. He felt that he had a lot of cards up his sleeve, and he also had the life-saving methods given to him by his master. Looking at the entire migration area, he was not afraid of anyone of his peers.

But Mr. Xu had just revealed his life-saving method, which made him feel like his underwear had been seen through, and he instantly felt unsure.

"According to what you said, I must get the Demon Refining Pot and the Body Refining Sutra of the Jiuli Emperor?" Ren Ye asked stubbornly.

Mr. Xu was very pleased to see Ren Ye's desperate look, and felt that his provocation had worked, so he nodded slightly and said, "If you can find these two divine objects, I can give you the last lesson and send you to the Tiandu Divine Court's highly anticipated Double Emperor Arena."

"Dry."

Ren Ye gritted his teeth and said, "It's settled. I'll go back to my secret realm first to deal with some trivial matters, and then we'll go to the Jiuli Dynasty, Xingshan!"

"Okay, I need to prepare as well." Mr. Xu nodded slightly.

"Then it's settled. I'll be back in three days at the earliest, or five days at the latest." Ren also thought about it and said, "Then we'll leave together. But...!"

"But what?!"

"It's just that this Xingshan is a sixth-grade secret realm, and the people in my team... are at most third-grade." Ren Ye blinked and looked at him, tentatively saying in his heart: "You... you are only second-grade, if a group of people like us go to Xingshan, what's the difference between that and seeking death?! If there is a slight gust of evil wind, we may be wiped out."

"Didn't I tell you that I need to prepare as well?" Mr. Xu smiled. "Since this is the last class, Mr. Ben will naturally plan everything for you."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Seeing that he didn't accept his temptation, Ren Ye asked more bluntly: "...You should be ready to "break through", right? Hehe...!"

"You don't need to test me. I'm really just a second-rank teacher." Mr. Xu said with a smile, "Besides, I didn't say I wanted to go to Xingshan with you!"

"what?!"

Ren Ye heard this and his eyes widened immediately: "You are going to teach the last lesson, and you are not going?"

"...My wife is weak, and Xingshan is too dangerous. What if I die there and my wife remarries?" Mr. Xu said as a matter of course: "I won't go, but I will find a talisman for you, don't worry."

Ren Ye looked at him suspiciously: "I suspect you are trying to cheat me out of money! As soon as we went to Xingshan, you ran away a thousand miles away."

"I am a scholar and have known propriety, morality, integrity and shame since childhood. I don't lie to people, I just mark the prices clearly." Mr. Xu replied with dignity.

"...!"

Ren didn't know what he was up to, but he didn't intend to ask, so he just smiled and nodded: "Okay, then please make plans for me, sir. As for whether to go or not... I'll wait and see!"

"OK!"

Mr. Xu laughed and nodded.
