Chapter 1833 The Forgotten Past

In the world of immortal cultivation, digging up other people's ancestral graves is a recognized taboo, but in comparison, colluding with the demons is even more taboo.

The latter mistake is more serious - if the former taboo is violated, at least, it is rare to suffer the fate of clan execution.

Thinking of clan execution, Qu Shitong had to consider another question: What if someone in the Xiong family also violated the taboo before Xiong Chumo?

This possibility is not non-existent.

In Qu Shitong's limited cognition, he can roughly guess a fact.

Xiong Chumo's intersection with the demons was probably during the exploration outside the small world.

But he was not sure whether there were any ancestors in the Xiong family who violated the taboo before that.

Once this happens, he is obviously on the verge of being executed by the clan - whether he lives or dies depends on the other party's mood.

He thought for a few seconds before sighing, "Senior, you can't let me say the word 'agree'."

If you want to dig, go ahead. Anyway, the ancestral temple has been messed up in the past few days.

But expecting him to show his approval... Sorry, the Qu family can't have such an unfilial descendant!

"I didn't intend to ask for your consent," Qu Jianlei said lightly, "I just want to inform you... After all, you are the only descendant left."

He also knew that what he was going to do was a bit taboo, so when he acted, he should be more or less awed.

Will you leave my bloodline? Qu Shitong nodded silently. It seems that these seniors are not particularly overbearing.

Next, everyone rushed to the Xiong family ancestral temple.

The ancestral temple has been destroyed beyond recognition. Two walls of the main hall have collapsed, leaving only a crumbling half.

This has nothing to do with the family education of the Qu family's children. People who are attacked by the demonic energy have long lost their reason and it is not surprising to do anything.

Many of the densely packed ancestral tombs have also experienced the impact of fighting, and dozens of tombs have been uncovered.

However, further ahead, most of the areas of the Xiong family's ancestors are intact, especially the tomb of the first ancestor.

Maybe even though they were affected by the demon, they still had some reverence for their ancestors?

This ancestral tomb is a little taller than Xiong Chumo's.

It is said that the Qu family repaired it later - they couldn't let Xiong Chumo, a descendant, have a gate tower higher than the ancestor, right?

What is rare is that this ancestral tomb also has a defense array, and it is in an open state.

Under normal circumstances, even if the ancestral tomb has a defense array, it will not be opened all the time.

In Qu Jianlei's impression, this was when the chaos started, and it seemed that someone in the Xiong family who was slightly more sober opened the array.

However, the highest defense of the array in this world is only the foundation-building level, and the ancestral tomb is only opened to the Qi Refining stage.

He flicked it casually and directly collapsed the array.

A big hand appeared behind the paranoid head and easily grabbed the tomb, followed by several powerful divine senses sweeping over.

The next moment, several people's faces changed slightly, "Is there a cave?"

"Be careful," Jiao Daoren's consciousness came, "There may be a self-destruct device!"

As an elder of the Beast Taming Sect, no one knows this better than him-the secret of this cave cannot be known by outsiders.

So next, several more consciousnesses swept back and forth.

The cave does have a self-destruct device, but how can it be hidden from the consciousness of the Nascent Soul?

After cracking the device, Qu Jianlei and others went down to the tomb, and people were arranged outside to meet them.

After Qu Shitong discovered the existence of the cave, the expression on his face was quite complicated.

There was surprise, resentment, regret, relief, shame, resentment... and a trace of curiosity.

As the eldest son of the direct lineage, he didn't know that there was such a layout in the tomb of the ancestor...

He hesitated for seven or eight seconds, but still walked into the cave with his head held high-my ancestor's things, outsiders can see them, but I can't?

Fortunately, the few evil guests from outside didn't care, probably... it was because of the huge difference in their cultivation.

Before going down to the cave, Qu Jianlei and his companions had already confirmed that there was no obvious demonic aura inside.

Otherwise, they would definitely not have entered so rashly.

However, in the cave, they were delighted to find that the Xiong family had left a lot of records in the cave.

These records clearly recorded the origin of the small world.

It turned out that this place was indeed a weak point leading to the demon world.

At that time, the cultivators had no time to attack this demon world, so they first carried out a simple seal and left it for later.

However, the plan changed later, and the cultivators had to evacuate this world first, and they were not sure when they could come back.

So a great man took action and sealed this place with a small world line.

The weak points of the space barrier are actually elusive, and the cultivators also have a clear understanding of this.

So it is necessary to make a town, one is to prevent the invasion of demons, and the other is to leave a cause and effect for future search.

However, if it is just a small world, the effect of guarding is not very good - without popularity, the world is not complete.

A world with popularity is both a food for the demons and can attract them, but at the same time, it is also the nemesis of the demons.

The mutual generation and mutual restraint under the way of heaven is so magical.

At the same time, by sheer luck, another powerful person discovered that there are many cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation who need to go to the battlefield to atone for their sins.

They are all immortal cultivators who have committed serious crimes. Fortunately, they have the opportunity to conquer other worlds, otherwise what awaits them is direct annihilation.

Then it is just right to send the low-level cultivators among these people to this world to guard it.

At the beginning of these people's guarding, there was indeed a powerful word that if they guarded for a certain period of time, they would have completed their mission.

It's a pity that these powerful people never came back after they left.

The Xiong family also has some foundation in the world of immortality, and they are relatively clear about the cause and effect.

So from the very beginning, the Xiong family carried out their tasks very seriously and looked forward to the future.

However, there are many causes and effects involved and cannot be announced to the outside world. Everyone is holding on to hope and thinking about completing the guarding mission seriously.

That's why there is a crypt of the Xiong family's ancestor's grave. Only each clan leader knows about it and can continue to add various information.

The following clan leaders also had a positive attitude and recorded various things that happened in the small world.

But as time went by, the guarding mission continued, but the promise was delayed, and the subsequent patriarchs gradually began to waver.

At first, the clan leaders did not dare to complain. They just speculated whether they had been forgotten. But later, their suspicions grew...

In the end, the Qu family separated, not only occupying the ancestral temple, but also fighting against their own clan.

Then after this, there will naturally be no other follow-up, and the patriarch's record will come to an abrupt end.

The clan leaders who had left records before were indeed on guard against the demons seriously, and had recorded many seemingly abnormal phenomena.

Some phenomena are similar to "getting closer to science" and are not worth mentioning after the secrets are revealed, but some are really worth pondering.

Even Qu Jianlei and the others could not explain certain phenomena clearly.

Qu Jianlei and others were watching, and so was Qu Shitong.

After reading it, he breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't wait to say, "Senior, my ancestor is very attentive..."

Qu Jianlei ignored him, but looked at the others and expressed with his spiritual consciousness, "The path to the world of demons..."

Everyone just wants to go to the world of immortality, the world of demons... If we go now, I'm afraid there will be no bones left!

Even his head was as rigid as a paranoia, and his face was not very good-looking, "This place should be...has been infiltrated by the world of demons?"

"Besides, that guarding formation was also messed up a bit by us... so what?"

No one could answer his question because it was a very bad guess!

After a long time, Dao Jiao said, "As for infiltration, it may not necessarily be... guarding for a long time and getting some aura, isn't this normal?"

This was obviously a word of comfort, but everyone felt a little more comfortable after hearing it.

Then, Yi He also comforted everyone, "I kind of understand why Broken Blade and Boundary Breaking Shuttle reacted that way."

According to him, the boundary-breaking shuttle was originally used to break boundaries.

It discovered the breath from another world, and it was normal to absorb a wave of energy.

As for the nature of this wave of energy, or where it comes from, no one can tell clearly.

Yi He could only guess that it was related to the realm.

And the broken knife... is undoubtedly a weapon of the human race. The large formation cannot seal the town, and will attack the alien aura mercilessly.

Such an explanation is logically consistent.

But everyone was silent for a long time, and the paranoid spoke again, "Now, how should we handle the current situation?"

This is soul torture again - it's not advisable to go to the world of demons, but you can't just leave like that, right?

After thinking about it, Qu Jianlei replied, "Then let's continue digging the grave."

The corners of Qu Shitong's mouth twitched, but in the end he remained silent.

It was a tragic thing for his ancestors' graves to be dug up, as it was considered unfilial to their descendants, but the secrets of the crypt in the ancestor's grave also opened his eyes.

He never thought before that the grave could be used for such a purpose.

However, when Qu Jianlei and the others took action again, it had nothing to do with the tombs of the Xiong family before, but instead targeted the Qu family after the separation.

This is also a normal choice. After all, the previous heads of the Xiong family have been keeping records and there have been no major problems.

But after the separation of the Qu family, it is difficult to say. It is normal to know more about the situation.

But when Qu Shitong saw this, his face became even more ugly, and he muttered, "Senior..."

However, no one paid any attention to him, and he did not have the courage to continue to pester him.

When a paranoid digs into someone's grave, they don't just ignore it. They usually choose someone who is more famous, or someone who feels a bit strange.

It didn't take long for him to destroy forty or fifty tombs, but unfortunately he found nothing.

After all, not everyone is in the habit of hiding things in graves.

Taoist Jiao, on the other hand, muttered, "There are not even magical weapons among the funerary objects. It is really...could it be any more barren?"

As the boss of Nascent Soul, he certainly looked down on low-level magic weapons and just complained casually.

But when Jing Yuexin heard it, she was prompted, so she used her spiritual consciousness to ask, "Boss, how about collecting some skills?"
