Chapter 907: Chapter 253: Secrets Unveiled

This view had formed before he crossed over: matter would not be annihilated or disappear, it merely shifted from one form to another. On the macro level, you could call it liquid, solid, gas; on the micro level, it was elements, atoms, neutrons...

Even if the matter changed, the elements did not; even if the elements changed, the atoms were still the same...

Therefore, the new world and this very moment were inevitably connected.

He had to find this connection, or at least dig into it as much as possible.

He also needed to go see the Ancient Halls, but there was no rush.

The entire East Sea was now desperately exploring that one Ancient Hall, and they had only managed to explore the outer perimeter.

Those "Blood Demons" inside, the East Sea truly could not defeat them.

It was only because those "Blood Demons" had no brains; if they had even a bit of intelligence, the Immortals of the East Sea would have long since been wiped out.

Li Yuan came back to his senses and asked, "Xiaomeng, you said you had three Tomb Guardians. Where are the other two?"

Meng Xingxian said, "One is in Kabulor, and another went to Central Earth, but we lost contact with them."

Li Yuan said, "Then back when I woke up inside the Wolf Mother and was invited to join you, which one was that?"

Meng Xingxian said, "That was Han Feng. She’s in Kabulor, nurturing Demon Beasts..."

Li Yuan didn’t understand, so he asked, "Oh? How do you nurture Demon Beasts?"

Meng Xingxian: ...

In that instant, she had the same strange feeling she’d had months ago with the Firefly Demon.

He didn’t understand this information?

How was that possible?

Li Yuan said, "I’ve lost a lot of memories."

Then he smiled faintly and said, "But I still remember a few things."

Meng Xingxian didn’t dare ask for his true name, and instead said, "The three Ancient Halls of Taiyin, Taiyang, and Life lie dormant in Chaos. Though they haven’t been opened for over thirty thousand years, they already existed long before that.

Back then, the Western Pole had not yet been covered in ice and snow; it was still a normal Human World region, a region far larger than the entire Great Zhou is today...

But beyond the Western Pole was an extremely dangerous region.

In that region, there were Fire Gods and rampaging Evil Ghosts.

Any ordinary Cultivator who encountered them would surely die; only those of the Third Grade could explore it."

Li Yuan said, "Hold on—what’s a Fire God?"

He had nothing to be afraid of.

He was the one on the chopping block, others were the fish and meat; what was there to fear?

Meng Xingxian: ...

She pressed down the subtle shock in her pupils, then explained, "Yang Qi in the heavens is nothing but Celestial Thunder; Yin Qi in the earth is nothing but Evil Qi.

But when Celestial Thunder accumulates, it can also form fire.

Yet that fire is different from the fire of the Western Pole. It roams unpredictably, its shape unfixed, seeming alive yet not quite. It rampages in destruction, and also rampages in self-destruction; even if no one touches it, it can at most last for a few days... but after a few days, the old flames vanish, and a whole new batch of flames appears.

Because those flames often have indescribable forms, they are called Fire Gods, to distinguish them from ghosts.

As for Evil Ghosts, they are the ghosts that used to haunt the territory of the Great Zhou.

Yang Qi is light and diffuse, Yin Qi is heavy and condensed.

Evil Ghosts are undying and indestructible, while Fire Gods vanish in an instant.

Their natures are completely different: the former is better at making people lose themselves, the latter is better at destroying everything.

Both are extremely dangerous."

Li Yuan nodded, casually raised a ball of fire, and said, "I see."

Meng Xingxian saw clearly at close range that it really was a ball of fire, and was indescribably shocked; her pupils widened into perfect circles.

Others might be able to make brief use of fire, but absolutely not in such an easy, everyday way as eating or drinking...

The one before her was probably a moving, stable, intelligent Fire God.

Laughable that she had once thought this man had been burned to death by Withered Fire.

In a soft, probing voice she said, "At that time, there was no Ghost Realm over the Xia Dynasty’s territory, and that region filled with Fire Gods and Evil Ghosts was called the Outer Domain... You—you awakened from the Outer Domain, didn’t you?"

On the Imperial Hand Seat, the Firefly Demon’s eyes also went perfectly round.

You’re not the Southern Dipper; you’re a Fire God, aren’t you?

And a stable, intelligent one, right?

A walking, singular Yang Qi taboo, right?

As Li Yuan’s power was fully revealed, different people began to misinterpret him as different beings.

Li Yuan didn’t answer that question, and instead said, "Continue."

Meng Xingxian then said, "It was in that Outer Domain that precious Secret Technique Steles were scattered...

According to what was said back then, those Secret Technique Steles were actually power that Ancient Gods had stolen from the three Ancient Halls.

They used special steles to record the stolen power, so that it wouldn’t dissipate; if it were written on paper, the words... would quickly disappear.

Normally, the Secret Technique Steles are divided into the Celestial Soul Stele, Earth Soul Stele, Human Soul Stele, and... Unknown Stele.

Each Stele is different.

The Celestial Soul Steles record some Third Grade Cultivation Methods of the Celestial Soul, as well as certain Transformation Methods.

The Earth Soul Steles record the methods for nurturing Jade Remains and specific Demon Beasts.

The Human Soul Steles record the method for nurturing a particular intelligent life.

Our Supreme Profound Sect was fortunate enough to obtain quite a few Steles. Some of these Steles were taken to the East Sea as cultivation inheritances, and some we kept by our side.

Among them was one Earth Soul Stele that recorded Demon Beast nurturing, and two that recorded Jade Remains nurturing.

Those Jade Remains—one type is the Wolf Mother, and another type is the Ghost Jade Servant."

"Ghost Jade Servant?"

"That’s... that’s the kind that the Nun killed so many of; this type of Jade Remains is very close to a Ghost Servant, and is naturally skilled at assassination.

We previously hid many such Jade Remains in the graveyard, just in case.

Outside, there were Wolf Mothers; inside, there were Ghost Jade Servants.

Add in the three Tomb Guardians, the Western Pole that sealed Shadow Blood in ice, and those Barbarians.

Eh... but who could have imagined there was a monster like the Nun in this world?"
