Chapter 474 Forbidden Land of Gods! Prehistoric Mystery! The Secrets of the Relic Universe
After hearing Ao Ting's report, Chu Yang nodded slightly.
Although he and Ao Ting could contact each other at any time, when it came to exploring the unknown universe and the remnant universe, Chu Yang always only inquired about the results and did not care about the process.
It is worth mentioning that after Ao Ting entered the unknown universe, he did something earth-shattering.
That incident was Ao Ting's encounter in the Relics Universe, which also caused the Heavenly Dao of the known universe to recover some of its power.
On the surface, this seems like a bad thing, but in reality, it gave Chu Yang a deeper understanding of the truth of history and the secrets of the Relics Universe.
"Take me to the Relics Universe!" Chu Yang didn't delay. His purpose in coming to the Unknown Universe was to explore the Relics Universe.
Ao Ting nodded, then took Chu Yang and left Tianyang Kingdom.
Tianyang Kingdom is the cosmic kingdom ruled by Ao Ting, and its meaning is self-evident.
Before leaving, Ao Ting did not waste any time, because he already knew that Chu Yang would come, and had also made arrangements for everything in Tianyang Kingdom.
The Remnant Universe is located deep within the unknown universe and is also a forbidden zone for life.
Anyone without the strength of a supreme being or above is courting death by coming here.
It is worth mentioning that the overall power system of the unknown universe is very strong, at least no weaker than that of the Great Thousand Worlds.
However, even the top experts are not as strong as those in the Great Thousand World, because the strongest here are only comparable to Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereigns.
Further up, they all received the inheritance from the Relic Universe, but without exception, they all chose to stay in the Relic Universe.
The exact reason remains unknown, but Chu Yang, through the commotion caused by Ao Ting, vaguely guessed some of the truth.
The technology of the Location Universe is extremely backward, but almost all of them practice "Taoist cultivation," absorbing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth to enhance their own cultivation.
Taoist magic is their only means of fighting, and magical artifacts are their only external aid.
It is worth mentioning that there are no so-called rare and precious treasures in the unknown universe. All cultivators can only climb to higher realms step by step, like ascetic monks.
The only shortcut is the legacy within the universe of relics.
This is precisely why, even knowing that the Relics Universe is full of dangers, countless powerful individuals still rush to it, like moths drawn to a flame.
The process of entering the Relic Universe is not complicated and there are no obstacles.
Ordinary people cannot easily enter the Relics Universe; they need to join various nations to obtain a spot.
However, Tianyang Kingdom, as a first-class nation in the unknown universe, possesses a teleportation array that leads directly to the Relics Universe.
Interestingly, after learning that the Lord of Tianyang Kingdom was about to enter the Relics Universe again, it attracted countless powerful figures to come and watch, and even caused quite a stir in the unknown universe.
"Looks like you're quite famous in the unknown universe!" Chu Yang looked at Ao Ting with a half-smile.
Ao Ting gave a wry smile and said, "In the nearly 100,000-year history of the unknown universe, although there have been people who have escaped unscathed from the remnant universe, they are extremely rare."
"And it seems that I'm the only one who managed to escape the unknown universe after triggering the forbidden land..."
Chu Yang nodded. No wonder Ao Ting was so famous.
Those who can accomplish something unprecedented in history will become the focus of everyone's attention, no matter in any world or era.
Entering the unknown universe, the noise of the outside world disappeared, and everything became quiet, even eerily quiet.
Ao Ting quickly looked around, then let out a long sigh and said, "Looks like we're lucky; this area is relatively safe."
"Interesting..." Chu Yang narrowed his eyes. He and Ao Ting were randomly teleported to a certain area in the Relics Universe.
During the teleportation, Chu Yang clearly sensed the spatial power, as well as a wisp of Heavenly Dao power mixed within it!
Cultivating Tao... Cultivating Tao...
The path cultivated by the cultivators of this unknown universe is actually the Heavenly Dao!
"Let's go to that forbidden land you encountered last time!" Chu Yang's goal was clear.
Ao Ting had left a trace of his aura there, and after sensing it for a while, he led the way.
On the way, Chu Yang asked softly, "Where did the name 'Forbidden Land of Gods' come from?"
Ao Ting shook his head and said, "I don't know. We haven't been able to trace it back to the source. All we know is that everyone calls the place where the ancient gods fell the Forbidden Land of Gods."
"But... if our master's guess can be confirmed, then the origin of this forbidden land must be inextricably linked to the Heavenly Dao..."
Chu Yang smiled and said nothing more.
He did have some suspicions, but further verification is needed.
The scope of the Relic Universe is vast, and the space here is extremely solid. Even with Chu Yang's current physical strength, he would need to use his blood and qi to shatter the space.
Therefore, to be on the safe side, the two did not attempt a spatial jump, but instead flew away at breakneck speed.
Even so, it only took them half a day to cross the long distance and arrive at the forbidden land that Ao Ting had encountered before.
This is a cluster of over a hundred graves scattered around a hill, exuding a chilling aura that gives one the feeling that no living person should approach.
"Of all these tombs, which one is the true owner of the legacy?" Chu Yang raised an eyebrow.
The forbidden lands of the gods are extremely dangerous, but they also bring opportunities, because almost every forbidden land contains the legacy of an ancient god.
Ao Ting smiled bitterly, "Back then, it was precisely because we couldn't find the true source that we let that wisp of Heavenly Dao origin escape, ultimately gaining nothing..."
"If I hadn't sensed my master's presence, that wisp of Heavenly Dao essence would likely have mobilized the power of the Relics Universe to forcibly keep me here!"
Just as Ao Ting said, this forbidden land of gods seals a wisp of the origin of the Heavenly Dao.
It was precisely because Ao Ting released this wisp of the Heavenly Dao's origin that the Heavenly Dao of the known universe regained much of its power.
But it's somewhat ironic that even though there's only a wisp of the Heavenly Dao's origin here, this is a remnant universe, permeated with the power of the Heavenly Dao.
That wisp of the Heavenly Dao's essence could have been used to forcefully suppress and kill Ao Ting, thanks to the power within the Relics Universe.
Perhaps the Supreme God Heavenly Dao had done something like this more than once before Chu Yang appeared, which is why some secrets have remained undiscovered until now.
However, when Tian Dao sensed Chu Yang's aura on Ao Ting, he immediately became like a frightened bird, not daring to confront him directly, and instead slunk away.
After all, at that time, Chu Yang had put too much pressure on the Heavenly Dao in the known universe, which made Him eager to recover His power and not want to cause any further trouble.
"This remnant universe is like a chessboard, and all living beings in the unknown universe are chess pieces on that board..."
Looking at the rows of tombs, Chu Yang murmured softly, "But who is the one wielding the pieces on this chessboard—the Heavenly Dao, or an ancient god?"
As his gaze wandered, Chu Yang's eyes suddenly sharpened, and then he seemed to be deep in thought.
After a long while, he waved his hand, and three figures suddenly appeared: Huo Ling, Bu Mie, and Luo Shen.
Chu Yang said softly, "Ao Ting, Huo Ling, and Bu Mie, the three of you seal off this area."
"I suspect these tombs are part of a formation. If we can break or control the formation, we might make more discoveries."
"Goddess of the Luo River, concentrate and observe; this is also an opportunity for you."
After saying that, Chu Yang's figure flashed and he arrived on the hill, where he sat cross-legged.
Luo Shen followed closely behind, standing beside him and observing him closely.
The other three dispersed and guarded the area.
Chu Yang sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, using his mental eye to observe the connections between the many tombs.
He quickly confirmed that it was indeed an array, but this array was quite mysterious, even more so than the Great Thousand Demon Transformation Array.
However, it is somewhat inferior to the Great Thousand Demon-Slaying Formation.
This formation has some resemblance to formations in the world of fantasy novels, but it also gives people a feeling of incompleteness, like a copycat trying to imitate something.
Although the formation is powerful, that is only because the power system of the unknown universe is strong, not because the formation itself is powerful.
Once it's confirmed that this is a formation, the rest becomes much simpler.
While closing his eyes to comprehend the mystery, Chu Yang also awakened Pangu's spiritual consciousness. By doing both simultaneously, he opened his eyes again in just half a day.
He glanced at Luo Shen, who was standing beside him and had entered a state of enlightenment, and a smile appeared on his face.
Since the Four Sacred Spirits were originally part of his body, he could directly establish a connection with Pangu.
Chu Yang directly shared a great deal of information about formations and spirit arrays with Luo Shen through Pangu, as he also intended to cultivate her into a master of formations.
Walking slowly down the hill, Chu Yang arrived at an unnamed grave. He reached out and gently stroked the tombstone, letting wisps of his soul power seep into it.
The core of the formation!
A moment later, all the tombs began to tremble and emit a faint light, like stars, sometimes bright and sometimes dim.
There are a total of 108 tombs, arranged in accordance with the stars. The moment this formation was fully activated, the powerful force caused the entire world to tremble.
At this moment, Chu Yang was at the center of the formation, yet it also felt as if he were standing proudly in the heavens, overlooking the entire universe of ruins.
Then a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, followed by a brightening of his gaze.
The moment the array's light dissipated, Chu Yang exhaled a breath of turbid air, then withdrew his hand, looking at the tombstones that had completely dimmed and were now covered in moss and mottled.
The last bit of power in this formation has been exhausted.
"Could any senior tell me what exactly happened 100,000 years ago?"
Chu Yang glanced around, "Or rather... the greatest secret of the Lost Universe, and the connection between the Heavenly Dao and the God of Stocks!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the tombstone, which had been completely silent, suddenly began to shine again.
All these lights eventually converged on the tomb in front of Chu Yang, and then an ancient character slowly appeared on the tombstone.
"ask……"
Chu Yang was stunned for a moment, feeling that this scene was somewhat familiar.
Wasn't it the same when he communicated with the Azure Lotus Heavenly Dao?
Even with the combined power of many ancient gods, they could only manage a simple, albeit barely, answer.
Clearly, in the cultivation of the soul path, cultivators in the unknown universe are far inferior to the powerful beings in the Great Thousand Worlds.
At least after their deaths, not even their remnants of souls could be preserved; only a few extremely faint remnants of their will remained.
After sorting through all his previous guesses, Chu Yang first asked, "Did the ancient gods possess a portion of the power of the Heavenly Dao, and thus choose to divide a part of its origin when the Heavenly Dao wanted to destroy the prehistoric civilization?"
An ancient character slowly emerged on the tombstone: "是" (Shi).
Chu Yang then asked, "Besides that, after the ancient war ended and before the ancient gods perished, did any powerful beings create the ruins universe and endow it with certain characteristics?"
"Did the numerous ancient gods, taking advantage of the unique characteristics of the remnant universe, each seal away a wisp of the Heavenly Dao's essence at the cost of their lives?"
"Yes..." The answer given on the tombstone remained the same.
Chu Yang asked again, "One last question: Did the ancient Heavenly Court exist?"
This time, the tombstone offered no answer; instead, after a moment of violent trembling, the light vanished with a bang.
Chu Yang frowned, then looked away, lost in thought.
Once a definitive answer was received, all the guesses were put together, and everything became clear.
Before the cycle of life, a large number of powerful cultivators emerged in the unknown universe. These people cultivated the Heavenly Dao. The weak could borrow the power of the Heavenly Dao, while the strong could control the power of the Heavenly Dao.
The strongest can even wield the power of the Heavenly Dao, becoming almost like the Heavenly Dao itself!
And that Azure Lotus Heavenly Dao is probably the manifestation of the strongest being in the prehistoric unknown universe.
This universe of ruins is probably also the work of that person.
After relinquishing this part of its origin, the Supreme God Heavenly Dao thought it could wipe out the prehistoric civilization in one fell swoop.
But to everyone's surprise, the prehistoric gods actually used the power of the remnant universe to risk their lives to forcibly seal a wisp of the Heavenly Dao's origin.
This series of events ultimately resulted in the Godly Dao having very little power left. It was unable to completely destroy the unknown universe, but could only separate the two universes and begin a new cycle of life in the known universe.
Over the years, some people will inevitably, either by accident or like Ao Ting, release the Heavenly Dao Origin that was suppressed in the Forbidden Land of Gods.
The power of Heaven is gradually recovering, which is why, after the known universe deviated from its expected trajectory, it is preparing to carry out another extinction of life and begin a new cycle of life.
But Chu Yang's appearance ruined all of that.
Since all the ancient gods perished, and prehistoric life was nearly wiped out by the Heavenly Dao, these events were buried in the dust of history.
People in the unknown universe know nothing about this, but those who have inherited the legacy of the ancient gods are required to remain in the ruins universe to suppress the origin of the Heavenly Dao and are unable to contact the outside world.
Besides, almost no one who enters the Remnant Universe survives.
Those who survived were destined not to know much, otherwise Heaven would never have let them go.
Those who accidentally let the origin of the Heavenly Dao escape will be directly annihilated by the power of the Heavenly Dao's origin.
This is Heaven's way of turning the tables on us!
The ancient gods wanted to use their own legacy to attract future geniuses and suppress the origin of the Heavenly Dao generation after generation.
The Heavenly Dao completely cut off the news, and also wanted to use the temptation of the ancient god's inheritance to attract more people and take the opportunity to release its own source power.
If this continues, as more and more of the original source is restored, the Supreme God Heavenly Dao will one day be able to forcibly break through the Remnant Universe!
The reason He has remained hidden in the known universe is probably because He is wary of the Azure Lotus Heavenly Dao.
Although the Azure Lotus Heavenly Dao itself is not powerful, it shares the same origin as the Remnant Universe and can draw upon its power! (End of Chapter)
