Chapter 1962 Waiting for You for Ten Thousand Years (Long Chapter)
It has been two months since Xiao Chen returned to the Ancient Eight Wastelands Alliance. He explained everything to Liu San and Xinyuehu. Unexpectedly, he has become the Canglong among all the Canglongs who has been in the Canglong Palace for the shortest time and is about to leave. , looking at the past generations of Canglong, it can last for hundreds of years or as short as decades. How can he be like this, who has just been here for more than two years and is about to leave?
"Palace Master..."
In front of the Canglong Palace, Liu San's voice was choked, and he didn't know what to say for a moment. Even if he had assisted three Canglongs, the one with the shortest tenure had been in office for a hundred years, and the previous Canglong had been in office for more than 300 years. But in front of him, Xiao Chen, the time he stayed in Canglong Palace was only more than two years, not counting the time he went out in between.
I still remember that when Xiao Chen was just now, the Canglong Palace had been without an owner for hundreds of years and was being oppressed by the Xuanwu Palace. Everyone was suffering miserably. At that time, the Canglong Palace was almost gone. It was completely dependent on him. As soon as he came, Canglong Palace changed everything. The enemy did not dare to invade even half a step further.
I still remember that at the beginning, Liu San originally planned to let the new Canglong go to the Canglong Secret Realm to practice. He would arrange other things, such as Xuanwu Hall, to prevent the new Canglong from encountering unexpected events. How could he have thought that... This new Canglong was so great that he was overly worried about everything.
I still remember the day they first arrived, the two of them went to the Palace of Eternal Life, holding the soul lamp of the old Canglong. The Palace of Eternal Life was dark and dark, filled with deceased Canglongs of all generations. The eyes were full of desolation. Liu San felt so desolate at that time, he I have already seen three Canglong die, and I don’t want to see the fourth Canglong die too.
"If one day you are outside and your soul lamp goes out, I will have to put it in the Palace of Eternal Life with my own hands... Hey, bah, bah, bah! Look at my mouth, what nonsense am I talking about? …”
"It's okay, you were right."
The scenes of that day seemed to reappear at this moment.
"Elder Liu..."
"Hey, Palace Master, I'm here, please tell me."
"If one day my soul lamp goes out, you can put it in the Palace of Eternal Life for me."
The entire hall fell silent for a moment. Liu San stood motionless, looking at him with dull eyes, which gradually became moist. Finally, he nodded, "Hey... I listen to the hall master..."
"Nonsense! Nonsense! You two are just talking nonsense here!"
At this time, Xinyuehu walked up. It was obvious that she was feeling sad and reluctant to leave. She was no worse than Liu San. She came between the two of them, pushed them away from each other, and said angrily, "Speak nicely." Isn’t it okay?”
Although Xiao Chen has been in office for the shortest time among all the Canglongs, he is the most special one and the most vivid in people's memory. Whether it is Liu San or Xinyue Hu, even if it is hundreds or thousands of years ago, he may still be interested in people at that time. Remember, once upon a time, there was a Canglong...
"Elder Xinyue, go and sort out some old files of Canglong Palace for me. Elder Liu and I have something to say."
Xiao Chen looked at Xinyuehu. Next, he needed to figure out some more things. He couldn't go out to the Nine Heavens in such a confused manner.
"Well, then..."
In the end, Xinyuehu went to the library pavilion, while Xiao Chen and Liu San entered the Canglong Hall. They were still the only two people in the huge hall.
"Palace Master, what did you want to say just now?"
Liu San could tell that the palace master had deliberately pushed Xinyuehu away. There must be something else that was very important and he needed to talk to him alone.
At this moment, Xiao Chen's appearance gradually became serious. Finally, the two of them walked to the head of the palace. Liu San couldn't help but ask, "But it has something to do with Jiuzhong Tianwai?"
"good."
Xiao Chen really wanted to figure out some things. If he had never been to the Black Emperor's Abyss, he might not have any doubts, but now, he always felt that those things were not as simple as they seemed. After a while, he asked "Have there been many Canglongs who went to the Nine Heavens in the past?"
Seeing him asking about this matter again, Liu San's expression became serious. He thought for a while and said, "According to the files left by Canglong Palace in the past, it is indeed true. As early as thousands of years ago, there were many generations of Canglong." , they went to the Nine Heavens…”
"There is a record in the file. What did they do when they went to the Nine Heavens?" Xiao Chen asked.
"this……"
Liu San thought for a while and finally shook his head, "There are not many records about these in the file, but I think it should be related to the first generation of Canglong... maybe? Or, like this time you went to Jiuzhong Tianwai, it was just to find , several palace masters from the Ancient Eight Desolations Alliance, several ancient powerful men..."
Hearing what he said at this moment was unclear, Xiao Chen even frowned, and Liu San said again, "But since more than three thousand years ago, no Canglong has ever been to the Nine Heavens, because every subsequent A generation of blue dragons are all dead..."
"I know that."
Xiao Chen concentrated his attention. This is what Black Emperor said before. Back then, a mysterious man secretly manipulated Canglong's spiritual veins, which caused Canglong's luck to decline. Therefore, every generation of Canglong would inevitably die in the end. In this way, naturally no Canglong can go to the Nine Heavens again. Is all this... connected in some way?
And one more thing, why is it the Canglong...
"Palace Master, what did you think of?"
At this time, Liu San saw his thoughtful look and asked, Liu San himself didn't know much about the past events of Canglong Palace, and those files were half-spoken and half-revealed. Anyway, at the beginning, None of the Canglongs who went to the Nine Heavens came back. When they left, they did not take the Canglong masks with them. But this time, the three elders of Bahuang Palace who could not hide themselves asked the palace master to take the Canglong mask with them. Wear a mask as well, as a token.
"fine."
Xiao Chen finally stopped asking any more questions, but at this moment, he was even more convinced of one thing. Going to the Nine Heavens was unusual. The three elders of the Eight Desolate Halls did not tell him everything, and they would not tell him anything. So, in this case, he would never tell the other party about the Black Emperor.
"What are you talking about?"
At this time, Xinyuehu walked in with some files. Seeing that she had brought so many files, no disciples helped her. Liu San immediately walked down and shared some of the files for her. The two of them picked up these bamboo slips and jade slips. , a table full of them.
Xiao Chen said, "It doesn't matter. Tonight, I plan to read the records in these files again, and then go to Bahuang Palace tomorrow." Obviously, he planned to sort things out first, and then go to Jiuzhongtianwai.
That night, the entire Canglong Palace was quiet. Liu San had gone back to prepare for other things. Xinyuehu and Xiao Chen were the only two people in the entire hall.
Xiao Chen was carefully looking through the past files of Canglong Palace. The records in these files were all left thousands of years ago. How can bamboo slips be preserved for thousands of years? Even if magic is cast, they will inevitably be damaged, so these records The files were copied by hand from generation to generation. As the files were copied many times, it was inevitable that there would be omissions and mistakes.
As for some very important records, they are engraved on the "jade slips" with spiritual power. Jade slips are not easy to perish. As long as they are properly preserved, they will be fine even if they are kept for thousands of years. However, jade slips also have inconveniences. Once it is shocked by spiritual power or invaded by external forces, the words stored in it may be scattered with the spiritual power. Therefore, the jade slips will be inspected for damage every once in a while.
At this moment, Xiao Chen carefully looked through the past records about Canglong in the past, as well as the major events that happened in Canglong Palace at that time. In order to avoid making mistakes, he did not directly scan them with his spiritual consciousness, but carefully checked every word and every sentence, and then Connect them in series to see if you can find any loopholes and doubts.
In this way until late at night, Xinyuehu sat next to him, leaning on one hand and half-opening his eyelids, almost falling asleep. "Master, how long are you going to watch..."
"It doesn't matter. If Elder Xinyue is sleepy, just go and rest. There is no need to wait for me."
Xiao Chen still held the file in his hand and looked at it with a frown. Xinyuehu raised his head and shook his head a few times, "No, no, no, you have to leave tomorrow. I promised that I would accompany you..."
She sat aside again and looked through other files. But for some reason, every time she looked through the files in Canglong Palace, she felt very sleepy. Finally, she lay on the table and fell asleep, murmuring softly as if in sleep. He murmured, "Ajiu, Ajiu, where have you been... It's better this time. Canglong is gone, and the descendants of Canglong are also missing... From now on, Canglong Hall will be deserted again..."
Xiao Chen looked at her and couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart. He picked up the clothes lying aside and gently put them on her body, and then continued to pick up the file and read it.
From these files, he found some clues from thousands of years ago. It seemed that a long time ago, a Canglong went to the Nine Heavens. As for how many years it had been, there was no detailed record. In the subsequent thousands of years, he did not know where he went. After many generations of Canglong, until three thousand years ago, no Canglong continued to ascend.
Regarding these, Xiao Chen feels that it is not as simple as the surface record, but he can't tell where the blame lies. He always feels that there are many things to be solved. The Tao of Reincarnation in the Ancient Times and the Eight Desolate Alliance in the Ancient Times. These two have been fighting since the ancient times to the present. Although the huge forces of the former have declined now, the strong men of the former cannot come out of the ancient world, and the strong men of the latter have gone to the Nine Heavens and have never been heard from again...
As for his father, Lao Canglong, everything, perhaps this time, will come to light.
Suddenly, Xiao Chen thought about the last time the Heavenly Outer Heaven attacked. They wanted to destroy some seals in the human world. But when the Heavenly Demon abandoned Cangtian and appeared later, he found that the Nine Nether Emperor, the Sinking Demon Emperor, and the Nine Sons Ghost Mother were all dead. A strong man who lived thousands of years ago turned out to be a "puppet" manipulated by others, and the "Guixu Realm" was actually involved in it.
There is no need to think about it. Xiao Chen will definitely not be able to go to the Guixu Realm. He can't go now and he won't be able to go in the future. The last place he can go to should be outside the Nine Levels. Everything will be in the Nine Levels. The truth is coming out, but I don’t know if he can bring the truth back at that time...
What if I really can't come back? According to these files in the past, all the Canglongs who went to the Nine Heavens, generation after generation, have not come back. And those Canglongs at that time, each generation, were the strongest experts in the Ancient Eight Desolations Alliance at that time, with cultivation levels higher than his. Much higher……
This time, he obviously wanted to change Wei Yang's fate and go to the Nine Heavens, but in fact, he truly stepped into the center of the vortex of this eternal situation.
Find out, the person who laid out the eternal plan.
The sky is the chessboard, the earth is the board, and the gods and demons of all ages are the pawns. He doesn't believe that he is just such a pawn. In other words, even the Ancient Eight Desolations Alliance and the Ancient Reincarnation Path are just chess pieces, the biggest chess pieces ever.
Oh, yes, he could see those immortals, demons, gods and Buddhas who had passed away for thousands of years. Even though they had been dead for thousands of years, the shadows of those immortals, demons, gods and Buddhas still surrounded him. But rather than surrounding him, it was better to say that... they could not escape from him at all. If he went to the outer nine heavens, the secrets of the shadows of gods and demons on him would surely be solved a little bit, right?
And the mysterious hexagonal stone plate he picked up in the lost ancient world under the desert of death that year. If he hadn't suddenly remembered it, he might have forgotten that his body was completely destroyed in the last thousand-year catastrophe, but this small stone plate was not damaged at all.
I don't know when the sky was bright. Xinyue Fox opened his sleepy eyes and saw that he had not slept all night. He whispered, "You really read it all night..."
"Elder Xinyue, you're awake."
Xiao Chen finally put down the files in his hand. He had already read all these files, and there was nothing else to read. Next, he had to go to the Eight Desolate Palace and prepare to go to the outer nine heavens.
The spiritual energy of Canglong Palace has been restored, and there are still many things to be done. Xiao Chen did not make a big fanfare, and kept his trip to the Nine Heavens a secret. He only told Liu San and Xinyuehu. Today he left and asked Liu San not to see him off, but Xinyuehu insisted on sending him off the territory of Canglong Peak. However, after sending you thousands of miles, you must say goodbye.
"That... you, you are leaving, can you promise me one last thing?"
Outside Wanxia Pass, Xinyuehu was reluctant to leave and held the corner of his clothes. Maybe after today's farewell, she would never see him again. In the past, no Canglong who went to the Nine Heavens came back... For thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, no one even knew whether he was alive or dead.
Xiao Chen turned and looked at her, knowing what she had been thinking about all the time. At this time, he slowly took the Canglong mask on his face and slowly took it off.
Xinyuehu was also stunned. They were exactly the same. Sure enough, they were the same person. He was not the original Canglong, not the Canglong that the old Canglong handed over the mask to...
"Wait!"
Xinyuehu suddenly grabbed his hand again. At this time, her body began to tremble slightly. She finally asked word by word, "Who was the person who brought me out of Yanyu at the beginning..."
"It's me."
The two words echoed clearly in Xinyuehu's ears. Then, Xiao Chen added, "The person you saw in Canglong Hall has always been me."
The wind blew gently past the two of them. Xinyuehu looked at him with a pair of eyes, which were a little wet. Finally, she hugged him hard.
"Xin... Elder Xinyue?"
The sudden scene made Xiao Chen a little at a loss, but in the end, he gently put his hand on her back. The two hugged each other at this moment, probably like the reluctance of friends to part.
"Has the injury from last time healed?"
"It's all right..."
Xinyuehu's voice suddenly choked, but in the end, she let him go. Xiao Chen said, "If I don't come back in the end, Ah Jiu... will come back to inherit the position of Canglong. I'm leaving, Elder Xinyue, take care."
After that, Xiao Chen walked forward without looking back. Xinyuehu looked at his figure getting farther and farther away, and suddenly chased after him, "Canglong!"
"Elder Xinyue, is there anything else?"
Xiao Chen stopped and turned to look at her. At this time, Xinyuehu's eyes were already red and full of tears. She shouted, "Can you not go!"
Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment and wanted to laugh, but how could he laugh? Finally, he said, "I'm not going, you go?"
"I'm going!"
Xinyuehu shouted out with force, and tears had already slid down her cheeks in one eye. Xiao Chen stared at her in a daze, and finally shook his head, "Silly, go back." Saying that, he never looked back again.
"Hey--"
Xinyue Fox suddenly caught up with him again and stood on a small hillside. There were a few small camellias swaying in the wind at her feet. Xiao Chen turned around and looked at her figure. "Elder Xinyue, is there anything else?"
At this moment, Xinyue Fox could only look at him from afar, and tears were already streaming down her face. "I will wait for you in Canglong Palace for ten thousand years."
"Wait for you for ten thousand years..."
"Wait for you for ten thousand years..."
Many years later, perhaps this voice will still linger in Xiao Chen's ears, even though by then, he has returned to where he should have been.
This time, he never looked back. A stream of true energy slowly surged in his body. It turned out to be his immortal state of mind. He broke through. At this moment, he finally broke through the seventh level of "Separation and Hate". "There is no news from the geese, and the dream of returning home is hard to realize. Separation and hate are like spring grass, which grows even further and further."
There are two more levels of immortal state of mind. The eighth level is "Returning State", and the last ninth level is... "Eternal State of Mind".
...
"Canglong, are you ready?"
"I am ready. Elders, please open the formation."
"Remember, after entering the passage, you cannot stay in it. You must go to the outside of the Nine Heavens in the shortest possible time. Otherwise, with the mana of several of us, plus the formation of the entire Eight Desolate Alliance, I am afraid it will not last long."
"Once the power of the formation is completely exhausted, you will be trapped in the passage, unable to get out or go up, and eventually your soul will gradually dissipate..."
"After I go to the outside of the Nine Heavens, how will I get back then?"
"..."
"Okay, I know."
This trip is a one-way trip. The elders can only send him up, but not take him back. Whether he can come back depends on himself.
"I'm leaving, Canglong Palace. Please take care of me. If I still haven't returned after a hundred years, my disciple Jiuer will be the next generation of Canglong."
...
After entering the formation, Xiao Chen felt nothing in front of his eyes. It was as if his soul was floating in the void again. This feeling was like when he and Luodie came out of the Tomb of Gods and Demons and floated in the endless void. It was a bit cold and there was no sound around. Only Elder Xinyue's words "Wait for you for ten thousand years" seemed to linger in his ears.
