Primordial Qi

Chapter 208 Old Fox

"Every time a Monarch is born, he will choose to go to a place called Monarch Realm. It is named after the realm, and is actually a place of realm. There is such a place in every continent. It can allow cultivators who are undergoing the Monarch Tribulation to pass through it safely. It is called the Monarch Cradle."

Wang Xuanzhi stroked his beard. He had also survived this calamity in the cradle and woke up in a Taoist temple. In the blink of an eye, a hundred years had passed. He was full of Taoist charm and had survived the calamity of his soul.

"That place is a mortal realm, and everyone there serves the celestial realm cultivators who are going through the tribulation, waiting for the people there to one day enter the monarch realm."

"There are monks at the king level there, so safety is guaranteed. Most monks in Nanzhou who are going through the monarch tribulation will choose to go there, not only because it is safe, but more because they will have the experience of perfect transformation to the mortal realm. When the time comes, their Dao rhyme will be more complete when they enter the monarch level."

"Generally, cultivators need to take a seventh-grade forgetfulness pill to forget their past events. After reaching the monarch realm, their memories will automatically return. A cultivator like Peak Master Wanqiu, who is currently undergoing the soul tribulation, is most suitable there. There are special people to serve her, allowing her to pass through the monarch tribulation without realizing it. For a person undergoing the tribulation, a hundred years is just like a nap."

The two explained the function of the place. It was specially established by the Dawu Dynasty and it owned a piece of land. Countless people served it and became the protectors of the monarch-level monks.

This scene seems familiar. Isn’t this The Truman Show?

A man-made cradle does sound interesting. It is indeed very exciting to be able to spend a perfect transformation into a mortal. Gu Chenyu pondered and asked, "I guess this kind of place will not be free of cost. Does it require spirit stones, magic tools, or something else?"

Lin Yuanya shook his head and said with a smile, "You only need to swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao that you will never be an enemy of Dawu in this life and be willing to serve for a thousand years. During this thousand years, you can choose to serve as an official in the court, establish a sect, or even retire to the mountains. However, you need to obey the orders of the Dawu Dynasty and not harm the people of Dawu."

"Hiss, a thousand-year contract to sell yourself!"

"You can't say that. You have to know that the life span of a monarch cultivator is generally three to five thousand years. What does a mere one thousand year treaty mean? Besides, the control of the cultivators in the Dawu Dynasty is not strict, and many people are willing to serve."

“You should know that those who signed the contract are treated very well. For example, I reached the monarch level after two hundred years of practice. I have terminated the contract for hundreds of years, but I have a strong sense of belonging to the Dawu Dynasty, so I am still willing to work for Dawu.” Wang Xuanzhi also said happily. They did not think this was a bad thing.

"It is reasonable that the policies of the Dawu Dynasty are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and attract powerful people to serve them willingly. A thousand years is just a blink of an eye."

"I went through the monarch tribulation with Lu Gao back then, and we forged a deep friendship during the period of transformation. Many people also met powerful people during that period of transformation. For ordinary cultivators, that is not a bad thing."

Lin Yuanya recalled what happened two thousand years ago, his eyes full of memories. It seemed that the so-called cradle of monarchs was indeed a place worth visiting.

Gu Chenyu smiled faintly. Staying in Qingming Sect was also a good choice. Gu Qingxue would be able to pass the soul tribulation in ten years at most. There was no need for her to go to the monarch's cradle, so Gu Chenyu refused: "That's unnecessary. I guess the second thing you want to ask me is what happened in Qingming World."

Lin Yuanya's expression was suddenly shocked. A disciple who was not sure he could survive in the king realm actually brought back to the world with a cultivator who was undergoing the monarch tribulation, and he was not possessed by another body. They were also curious about some secrets in this.

Wang Xuanzhi nodded. They were indeed curious. If there was something fishy going on, it would be difficult for them to respond.

“Please unfold the light of your soul. We need to judge the truthfulness of what you said. This matter is very important. Lord Lu Gao has his eyes on you. If you don’t want to get into trouble, you have to speak nicely.” Wang Xuanzhi said seriously.

"How should I put it? I'm sure you've seen the strange thing in the north. It was a headless male corpse that was slaughtering people everywhere. At that time, the leader of Wanqiu Peak forcibly stepped into the monarch realm and took me away for three days at a very fast speed. After that, several unknown strong men appeared and suppressed the headless male corpse, and opened some passages..."

Gu Chenyu lied without blushing. The light of his soul was extremely calm and hidden deep in the island of his sea of consciousness. They could not detect it at all.

“Hiss, if that’s the case, there must be some incredible existence in the Qingming world, but we can’t even reach it. Lu Gao is at the peak of the king realm, and he is not sure he can survive in that situation. The one who can suppress such a catastrophe must be far beyond the emperor realm.”

Lin Yuanya and Lu Gao looked at each other. The light of their souls did not fluctuate much. It seemed that there was a power in the Qingming world that could make the Dawu Dynasty fear.

"I also saw a large number of ghosts escaping at the time. I think it must be related to the recent large-scale possession incidents."

"This matter is of great importance. I will report it for you later. As for the details, please tell me in detail."

After chatting for a whole morning, Gu Chenyu's lips were dry and his tongue was parched. He even drank up the entire pot of precious tea. I don't know if he did it on purpose.

"Well, so you also received guidance from an expert, and she gave Peak Master Wanqiu a pill that can help her get through the monarch's calamity in advance?"

"Indeed, that strong man just asked me about the outside world and when the great age will come. How can I know such a thing? I can only say that the current cultivators can only cultivate to the Imperial Realm at most, and they don't even have one tenth of the strength of that headless male corpse."

Lin Yuanya rubbed his temples, obviously this matter was difficult for him.

"I have heard of this group of ancient monks, but no secret realm has hidden so many souls of ancient monks like Qingming Tianxia. The so-called great world may be a catastrophe for people like us in this world. This is not good news."

Wang Xuanzhi also felt a headache. He had also captured the residual soul of an ancient cultivator. That thing kept muttering about the great age and coming back, which confused him. In a fit of anger, he wiped out its soul and was too lazy to listen to its nonsense.

"We don't know what happened in the ancient times, but we do know that the so-called ancient monks were not simple. They might want to return to the world and suppress us to a certain extent."

"The Daqian Dynasty is eyeing us covetously in the north, and there are ancient cultivators causing trouble inside. I don't know how chaotic the world will be in a thousand years."

Gu Chenyu also shook his head, his face bewildered. Originally, he had no right to know about such things, but he only knew about them because of entering the Qingming world this time.

Of course, he was just pretending, pretending to be what these two and the people behind him wanted to know. He knew that in the future he would have to face a bunch of crazy people from the Xianwu Spirit Realm who ate raw meat and drank blood, killed people without blinking an eye, and wanted to massacre the Zhenwu Continent.

"It's hard to say what will happen in the future. The only solution now is to continuously improve our cultivation. Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to protect ourselves in the future."

Gu Chenyu smiled bitterly and chatted with them until the next day. He also learned many things that needed to be paid attention to in the Monarch Realm.

"Let's stop here today. We have been chatting for too long. You go back and accompany Peak Master Wanqiu. After she has overcome the monarch tribulation, I will also have to strive for the king realm." Lin Yuanya said with a faint smile.

A crystal with a recording slowly emerged, and Gu Chenyu cursed in his heart, these old foxes actually left behind images and were going to review them to see if there were any loopholes?

"Haha, now that I have finished my questioning, I should go back, but I still have a small favor to ask of you."
