Star Trace Gate

Chapter 806 The truth buried in the wasteland

Ominous station.

Ren Ye lowered his head and looked at the note Chu Jin had written to him, frowning and saying, "What is he talking about? What does it mean?!"

The note was written in neat handwriting: "This place is not the real sacred land, but the ominous wasteland in the legend of Jiuli Continent. Except for the inn you saw, the rest of the scenes you saw may have existed in reality and are not illusions."

“Descendant of the Ancient Emperor, we will meet at the top—Chu Jin.”

The words on the note were incoherent and very abrupt, which made Ren feel a little confused for a moment.

What did he mean by writing such a sentence out of nowhere?

Is it just to remind me that this place is not an illusion, but a real place in the Jiuli Continent?

No, brother, it seems that our friendship has not reached this point yet?

Most importantly, what is the use of your reminder? Did this place really exist, or is it an illusion created by the evolution of the heavens? Will this have any impact on my subsequent tests?

Even though the Little Bad King, who claimed to be extremely intelligent, could not understand the first half of the sentence on the note, he understood the second half of the sentence "meet at the peak" clearly.

This was clearly an "invitation to fight". There could only be one heir in this imperial tomb, and if the two of them really reached the top together, a fight would be inevitable.

However, Chu Jin's "invitation to fight" was very straightforward, without any concealment or conspiracy like before.

His actions at this moment were consistent with what he said and did when they met in Xiliang.

In fact, they both knew very well that when the road to the Emperor's Tomb came to an end, if they were still alive, there would be a life-and-death battle. And that battle would definitely happen no matter who came to intercede.

After all, there is no way to resolve the hatred between the descendants of the ancient emperor and the Xianlan Sect and the fifteen sects. Even if the Heavenly Dao came, I am afraid it would be too embarrassing.

Therefore, Ren Ye really couldn't guess or see through many of Chu Jin's actions. The first half of the sentence on the note was obviously a reminder, but he couldn't figure out what it meant.

What I don't understand even more is why he did this?

You say he wanted to express goodwill in a tactful way, but his behavior was very persistent, and he even looked forward to the life-and-death battle between the two of them; you say he wanted to plot against Ren Ye with conspiracy, but he was always colluding with the enemy in secret. For example, the time in Xiliang City, he was there, but he didn't shout at Ren Ye to fight and kill him.

In short, the feeling this person gave Ren Ye was full of contradictions and entanglements.

Anyway, what does this sentence mean?!

Ren Ye frowned and cursed, "I hate riddlers the most. Whatever love means, it means what it means. I don't want to think about it anymore."

After he finished speaking, he put the note away and put it in his arms.

Yin Jiu looked at Ren Ye with a blushing face and shook his head, "I really don't understand the relationship between you two. It's like... it's like Wang Po is having an affair with Guo the Blacksmith behind Liu Lame's back."

"Oh, you're right." Ren Ye teased, "Actually, I'm not good at interacting with the opposite sex, but when it comes to controlling men, I can be considered the best in Jiuli..."

"Famous prostitute——Zhu Zigui?!" Yin Jiu continued with a smile.

"Hahaha, you can interpret it however you want."

"After going through life and death, being able to drink a pot of strong liquor is the greatest blessing in life. Zhu Zigui, I wish you all the best and become the only one in the emperor's tomb!" Yin Jiu's voice was mellow and hearty: "If it's you, it's better than those bastards who only care about themselves."

"Thank you, and I hope you can find the answer in this tomb." What is a close friend? Only those who can confide in each other can be considered close friends. The Little Bad King knew that Yin Jiu was full of doubts and misunderstandings about the various rules in the tomb, and even secretly disdained the opportunities left by the emperor for future generations, so he set out on the journey with a lot of contradictions in his heart.

This is undoubtedly very painful for someone who has some pursuits and ideals in his heart.

Beneath his extremely carefree appearance, he is actually filled with helplessness towards his hometown of Jiuli, which has been ravaged by war, darkness and oppression, with the people living in poverty and widespread misery.

This is why he doesn't like the Emperor's Tomb, nor does he like the ruthless arrangements of the Emperor and the Heaven. He will not walk with or be on the same stage with those self-important geniuses who want to snatch opportunities from others, or "point fingers at the world" and huddle together for warmth in the Genius Pavilion.

The two drank several pots of wine, and only when they were about 70% drunk did they return to the second floor to rest.

……

There was nothing to say all night, and it was dawn the next day.

After Ren washed up in the room, he changed his clothes and prepared to leave.

Less than half a quarter of an hour before the 9th hour, the majestic voice of the beheaded man echoed in the ears of the seven blood guides.

[Congratulations to everyone for coming to "Divine Land - Ominous Land". ]

[Legend: Ominous things happened here, the sky collapsed, and the world was filled with grief. The eighty-one tribes under the emperor's command, who were able to hold up the sky, fought against the ominous things here to protect the Jiuli people, and then all of them died, and the extinction lasted for an era.]

[The blood of the eighty-one clans' sky-supporting people dyed this wasteland red. Their broken corpses were buried in the dust of time, but their heroic spirits were immortal. Their heroic spirits were infected by ominousness and turned into evil ghosts, wandering here day and night.]

[Over time, the evil ghosts and wronged spirits lingered for a long time, but they also relied on their willpower to not bring disaster to the world and slaughter the hometown, thus forming a filthy fog and miasma, cutting off all life in this place, and also making the wasteland covered with dark clouds all year round, with no sun or moon. ]

[In the later years of the Great Emperor, before fighting the ominous Great Dao God, in order to save the souls of the heroes under his command, he personally refined two treasures. The jar, called the Wuliang Jar, has the power to dispel the mist and purify the heaven and earth; the pearl, called the Wuliang Pearl, has the power to save the souls of heroes, cleanse the three souls and seven spirits, and absorb the pure spiritual energy of the souls. He intended to use the pearl to preach and give it to his outstanding descendants, so that they could have a great opportunity to prolong their lives.]

[After countless years, the Infinite Jar and Infinite Pearl were stolen from this place and their whereabouts are unknown. The souls of the heroes who have not yet been liberated reappear in the world, and the world is in chaos. Dark clouds linger all year round, turning into ominous things every night and bringing disaster to those who rashly break in here.]

【This is the origin of the ominous state.】

[The seven blood guides have walked through the human world, shouldered the burden of three barriers, and now come to the divine land to take on the only important task. ]

[After a while, the Blood Guide will follow my instructions to find his own ominous mirror and his only mission.]

[The great beheaded man will never take risks with you, but will wish you good luck. ]

In the room, after listening to the beheaded man's announcement, Ren Ye felt a sudden clarity of mind and understood the causes and consequences of many things that had happened before.

[Emperors and fate-bearers on Route 3, you still have to take Route 3 for this level. After leaving the inn, head southwest and you will see the Route 3 sign and the deserted road. Just keep going deeper. Remember, if it is night, you still need to hide in the bronze coffin to avoid bad luck.]

"Oh, number three again, that's good, it's my lucky number."

After Ren Ye heard the rules clearly, he just murmured something softly and then recalled the introduction about the origin of the ominous realm again.

It turns out that the Infinite Jar in the witch's hand, which gave all the fifth-grade masters splitting headaches and which they tried to avoid, came from this place!

No wonder Master Chu said before that this thing looked like it was dug out from a big tomb and it was filled with extremely yin energy.

All the brave men of the eighty-one clans died here. How could it not be filled with evil spirits? This place was not a large tomb, but a cemetery of an entire era, where countless heroes were buried!

This also explains why the infinite jar in the witch's hand is filled with extremely dark infinite water, and can turn into black rain to block the perception and five senses of the person with supernatural powers.

Because that was the Sky-supporting Man of the Eighty-one Clans. After his corpse rotted and decayed, it turned into endless miasma, and a large part of it was restrained by the Wuliang Zun. That's why this thing is so evil. The aura it emits is also very complex and changeable, and even people of the sixth rank find it difficult to capture it clearly.

This is because the bodies of the heroes are all different, so the miasma they transform into naturally does not hurt, so the aura is so varied.

So...here comes the problem.

If the witch is the first host of the Wuliangzun, then the thief that the headless man was talking about should be her, right?

Was it she who led people to sneak into the ominous wasteland and took away this treasure?

But...according to the description of the horror of this place by the Headless Man and the danger index, does this witch...really have the ability to take away the Infinite Jar? !

It’s hard to say…

Ren also shook his head slightly, and guessed again in his heart: "The witch said before that the reason she had to kill Chu Jin was because he had a precious bead in his body."

This should be referring to the Infinite Pearl, which is a pair with the Infinite Vase, and their divine powers are exactly opposite.

In this way, Ren would roughly understand why Chu Jin said those words to him without any reason in Xiliang City.

The general meaning of that sentence is: "The people who fight alongside you may not be trustworthy."

Now, considering the origins of the two treasures, the Infinite Pearl and the Infinite Jar, it is not difficult to guess that his words should be referring to the witch.

He wanted to say, the witch protected you and asked you to kill me, it was not without purpose, but she wanted to use you to get back the infinite pearl in my body.

It seems that when Chu Jin said this, he was not trying to sow discord, but was really reminding himself...

Also, could the words he wrote on the note also be related to this ominous place and the two treasures?

What exactly does he want to say?

"Fuck, can't you just say it clearly?! I really hate these riddlers. These people... should be severely choked in the mouth by Lao Liu, and the root of the problem should be completely cured!"

After Ren cursed inwardly in his heart, he no longer worried about Chu Jin's intentions. The main reason was that there was not enough time and he had to set off immediately.

……

At exactly 9 o'clock in the morning, seven people on six roads left the post station and set out on a journey to find the ominous mirror.

After Ren Ye said goodbye to Yin Jiu, he took the little one with him and headed southwest.

As soon as they left, the ominous post house standing in the black sand slowly dissipated in the wind.

In the inn, the innkeeper with a steel knife hanging from his waist, as well as other busy waiters, butchers, cooks and others, all smiled after seeing Ren Ye and the others leave.

[The inheritance is immortal, the eternal wait will finally meet the next generation. 】

【Thank heaven and bow to the world. 】

As the words fell, the bodies of these people gradually blurred and disappeared into the world. The weak obsessions in their bodies that were protected by the Heavenly Dao also turned into a breeze after passing through endless years, and bid farewell to this cemetery completely.

……

Southwest, Route 3.

Ren Ye and Xiaobudian bypassed the wooden No. 3 road sign and went deeper into the city.

In the dark world covered by dark clouds, the master and disciple walked for eight days in a row, but they did not see any major changes in the surrounding scenery.

The scenery here is the same, dark red land; gusts of wind, an oppressive environment filled with gloomy energy, and the occasional towering black mountains along the way. Apart from that, there are only white bones on the ground, which will last forever; and the magical weapons that have collapsed between heaven and earth.
