Chapter 2329 The Last Trace of Afterimage

"What legend!?"

The young Saint who asked the question hurriedly urged after hearing this.

The others around him also opened their eyes wide, staring at the short and fat Saint King, wanting to know what the legend was!

The short and fat Saint King showed a trace of recollection, and sighed and replied: "It's very simple, a legend about ancient times!"

Ancient times!

After hearing these two words, everyone around was stunned for a moment, their eyes narrowed slightly, and they began to recall various fragmentary information about ancient times in their minds.

According to the general historical records!

From 10,000 years ago to hundreds of thousands of years ago, it is basically the ancient times!

And hundreds of thousands of years ago, or even millions of years ago, belong to the ancient times!

There are many records about the ancient times in the Zhongzhou cultivation world, and they are relatively detailed, but there are very few records about the ancient times, which often only exist in the Sutra Pavilion of the Holy Land family.

The various emperors and top forces that appeared in the ancient times are basically recorded in the classics, but no one knows what emperors and top forces existed in the ancient times.

It feels as if the memory is blank and full of mystery when mentioning the ancient times, and it is completely unclear what happened during that time!

At this moment, there was silence all around.

Pairs of eyes were staring at the short and fat Saint King with expectation, patiently waiting for the latter's opinion.

"Hehe, don't look at me like that! I may not know more about the ancient times than you do, but I once read an ancient book in the Xuanyuan family's Sutra Pavilion. The author was once a quasi-emperor of the Xuanyuan family!"

"According to the records of the quasi-emperor, the glory of the ancient times was far beyond the ancient times. At that time, many emperors coexisted, and there were many races. Even the emperor was not necessarily the most powerful existence at that time!"

The short and fat Saint King first laughed bitterly and laughed at himself, then his expression was solemn and he threw out a shocking conclusion.

"What! In ancient times, even the emperor was not necessarily the most powerful existence. How is this possible!?"

Instantly, the young saint who asked the question suddenly opened his eyes wide, his face full of shock.

At this moment, not only he was shocked, but most of the people around him showed expressions of shock that could not be concealed.

In their impression, once the cultivation level breaks through to the emperor, it is equivalent to standing on the top of the world. There may be strong and weak in the same level, but the difference will not be too big, and there will be no existence with strength completely surpassing the emperor!

Now the short and fat saint king actually told them that there was an existence in ancient times whose strength completely surpassed the emperor. For them, it was really difficult to accept for a while!

The few warriors who did not show shock frowned slightly and fell into thought.

"Senior, as far as I know, the only ones whose strength completely surpassed the emperor were the immortals in the upper realm. Could it be that there were powerful immortals in the Zhenwu Continent in ancient times?"

Soon, a round-faced saint frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice.

As soon as this was said, many people looked at the short and fat saint king with a flash of light.

The strength of the immortals in the upper world is definitely beyond that of the emperors, but the strength of the immortals in the upper world is too strong, and it is difficult for them to break the barrier between the two worlds and descend.

And there is a widely circulated saying in the practice!

That is... even if the immortals really descend, they will be suppressed by the whole world, and their strength will at most be maintained at the level of the emperor, and it may even be difficult to maintain the level of the emperor.

In other words!

In the whole world, the level of the emperor is the limit, and it is impossible to go higher!

Now the short and fat saint king said that in ancient times, there were people whose strength surpassed the emperor, which is obviously contrary to the widely circulated saying in the practice world!

"Haha, although in ancient times, the immortals in the upper world also descended to the world, I am not talking about immortals, but the legendary... true spirits!"

The short and fat saint king grinned and replied lightly.

True spirit!

After hearing these two words, everyone at the scene frowned slightly, their brains worked at high speed, and began to think about the information they learned about the true spirit.

In everyone's impression!

In various classics, the word "True Spirit" rarely appears, and generally refers to powerful species that only exist in legends, such as True Dragon, Phoenix, Qilin and Black Tortoise.

But legends are legends after all, just like immortals, no one can be sure that True Spirits have ever existed in the Zhenwu Continent!

"Hehe, according to the records of the quasi-emperor of the Xuanyuan family, True Spirits did exist in ancient times, and their strength was extremely powerful, and they might even defeat the emperor and devour him, almost as strong as those immortals who forcibly descended to the world!"

The short and fat Saint King looked solemn and continued.

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

Hearing this, a lot of people immediately gasped in shock, obviously shocked by the terrifying strength of those True Spirits in ancient times.

"Of course! In that ancient era, the number of true spirits that could defeat the emperor was extremely small!"

"At that time, perhaps because the barrier between the lower world and the immortal world was relatively thin, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was extremely abundant, some immortals paid the price and went down to the lower world to hunt and kill true spirits for their own cultivation!"

"But later, I don't know what happened, the barrier between the lower world and the immortal world gradually became thicker, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth became thinner, it became increasingly difficult for immortals to go down to the lower world, and it became increasingly difficult for true spirits and emperors to survive!"

"After this situation lasted for countless years, the ancient era ended and the ancient era entered. The number of emperors was greatly reduced. There was generally only one at the same time, and the true spirit almost disappeared completely and could never be found again!"

The short and fat Holy King expressed emotion and said in a deep voice.

"well……"

Upon hearing this, everyone around them immediately sighed secretly, showing their helplessness.

Since ancient times, the barrier between the lower world and the fairy world has become thicker and thicker, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has become thinner and thinner, the number of emperors has become increasingly rare, and it has become increasingly difficult to prove the way and become emperor.

Now, in the huge Zhongzhou cultivation world, there is not even one quasi-emperor, let alone an emperor. Thinking about it carefully, it is really pitiful and sad!

"I understand! Senior, do you mean to say that the super big fish Kun that took Chu Tian away just now was once a true spirit level existence!?"

Suddenly, someone shouted and expressed his opinion.

Hearing this, the short and fat Holy King nodded with a wry smile, and then shook his head: "Yes, but it's more than that! The mysterious ocean in the distance is probably the last trace left in the world from that extremely glorious era in ancient times. Afterimage!"

There was a deep sense of loss in his words that anyone could clearly feel.
