Chapter 4059 The Secret
As the former God Emperor, it is not difficult for Xi Jiuye to understand this.
Between the divine realm and the foreign realm, there is the Demonic Well.
There have been constant wars near Tianmojing.
The strange demons want to invade the God Realm, and the gods want to defend themselves against the strange demons, so the Demon Well as a passage has always been the most dangerous area.
It's just slightly different from Wang Wushan. The Demon Well does not need to be guarded by anyone, but is suppressed by the Taiyin Seal.
If there was no Taiyin Divine Seal, I really don’t know how many people would be killed or injured.
Wang Wushan is very hidden and even keeps changing its position. However, there are always a few people, including the powerful ones including the celestial witches, who can calculate the position of Wang Wushan, let alone the celestial beings.
The Road to Heaven covers a wider area between heaven and earth, so there will naturally be more people coming to explore the Road to Heaven.
More than ten thousand years ago, after the Xi tribe fell into the sky, a large army of the Xi tribe went to the God Realm.
While the Witch King stayed in Wang Wu Mountain, he was appointed as the gatekeeper.
At that time, there was no soul stone on the wall of the Demon-Suppressing Mountain. The entrance to the Road to Heaven was the cave on the mountain wall, and guarding it was much more difficult than it is now.
"About ten thousand years ago, the most serious conflict occurred on the Road to Heaven, which almost cost me my life. Speaking of which, that conflict was also related to the Heavenly Demon Court. At that time, I had just become the gatekeeper, and I was negligent. A powerful man from the Heavenly Demon Court broke into the Road to Heaven. By the time I found out, it was already too late. For this I suffered the most severe punishment. Since then, I have been cautious. Who would have known that the Demon Court’s Thirty-three days after Da Neng broke into the world, he was chased by heavenly beings and had no choice but to escape back to the ninety-nine lands. Feng returned with him, as well as the four great heavenly beasts who came to hunt him down in the name of heavenly beings."
There was a hint of nostalgia in the Witch King's voice, and at the same time there was some lingering fear.
That was the first real conflict between heaven and mortals.
The four heavenly beasts chased the powerful man all the way until they returned to Wangwu Mountain before they caught up with him.
That great power fought a fierce battle with the four great beasts, and the battle was inseparable, lasting seven days and seven nights.
"During the war, Wang Wu Mountain was also affected. My witchcraft power at that time was not enough to compete with the forces on both sides, which resulted in part of the wall of Suppressing Demon Mountain being damaged, and the great power and the four heavenly beasts left Wang Wu one after another. Therefore, I I was severely punished. If I hadn't been the gatekeeper and had no life or death, my soul would have been gone. Also after that time,
I realized that it was very dangerous to guard the road to the sky on my own. I had to think of a safer way to guard the road. "
The Witch King told about the past. Although it was just a memory, Xi Jiuye was still frightened when he heard it.
Xi Jiuye also heard a little bit about the grudges between the Heavenly Demon Court and the four heavenly beasts, but he did not expect that the root cause was Wang Wushan.
"But since then, Wang Wushan has been peaceful for a period of time. Although there are occasional attacks on the Road to Heaven, I have controlled them all. Five thousand years ago, there was a big war outside Wang Wu. The two sides of the Ninety-nine Lands During the Great Territory War, I sealed some people into the King Witch. Corpse demons, lonely souls and even ghost beasts all settled in the King Witch during that period. But they were all too humble and could not help me protect the Heavenly Palace. road until..."
When the Witch King said this, he paused.
"Until what?"
Xi Jiuye asked.
Ten thousand years is a long time.
"It wasn't until he suddenly appeared more than five hundred years ago that he broke the situation where I was guarding the King Witch alone."
The Witch King pointed to the soul stone not far away.
"Soul stones appeared more than five hundred years ago? Are soul stones a living thing?"
Xi Jiuye said in surprise.
He thought that the Soul Stone had always been in Wang Wu Mountain, or that it was born in Wang Wu Mountain. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a trespasser from Wang Wu Mountain?
The kid on the side also pricked up his ears and listened.
The Witch King did not shy away from the little ghost. In his opinion, although the little ghost had the fire of Nirvana and reincarnation, it was impossible for him to escape.
When the kid heard about it more than five hundred years ago, his heart suddenly moved.
It remembered that the lonely soul Ye Lingyue was looking for earlier was called Zhou. It seemed that he also came to Wang Wu more than five hundred years ago.
To be precise, he disappeared in Wangwu more than five hundred years ago.
They were both more than five hundred years ago. Is there any coincidence between the two?
The kid was suspicious, but he didn't say anything and continued to eavesdrop.
"Not only is he a living creature, his appearance also poses a threat that is even more terrifying than the previous powerful Heavenly Demon Court and the four great Heavenly Beasts put together. My body was also destroyed at that time. Once.”
The Witch King snorted coldly.
"Ancestor, your body? Could it be that... didn't you say that after you became the gatekeeper, your body would be immortal?"
Xi Jiuye was shocked again.
No wonder, the Witch King never showed up.
It turned out to be because his physical body had been destroyed long ago, and all that still exists now is his soul.
The fog of consciousness is part of the Witch King's soul.
"The immortality of the physical body is just a rhetoric. My physical body lives and dies with Wang Wushan. As a gatekeeper, I have long been integrated with Wang Wushan. Unless I voluntarily give up my physical body, my physical body will not be destroyed. Destroyed. But, that time, if I had not used my physical body to seal him, the entire King Wu Mountain would probably have been destroyed. In order to take the overall situation into consideration, I had no choice but to sacrifice my physical body, and that's how I got this soul stone."
With that said, the Witch King pointed at the soul stone.
Xi Jiuye and Xiaogui were shocked in their hearts after hearing this.
That soul stone was actually the Witch King's physical seal?
Especially the little ghost, who just witnessed the soul stone eating people.
The monster with thousands of mouths is actually the body of the Witch King.
"Then what is its origin?"
Xi Jiuye hesitated and looked at the soul stone.
It requires the body of the Witch King to suppress it. Who is the intruder from five hundred years ago?
"I don't know the specific origin. But he is very strong, even more powerful than the original Heavenly Demon Court. He wanted to enter the road to heaven, and in the end he and I both lost. After I sealed him , it happened to form a mountain rock, and I suppressed it on the wall of the Demon-Suppressing Mountain. After having it, in the five hundred years, no one from the Ninety-nine Earths will break into the Road to Heaven."
Although the Witch King sacrificed his body, getting this soul stone was a blessing in disguise.
Since part of the soul stone itself belongs to the Witch King, the Witch King has great control over the soul stone.
But since the core of the soul stone is that lone soul, the Witch King has no way to completely command him.
After a fierce internal struggle, the Witch King and the Soul Stone finally reached an agreement.
The soul stone helps guard the road to heaven, while the Witch King is responsible for finding sacrifices for the soul stone to swallow, and constantly strengthening the soul power of the soul stone.
