Chapter 339 Divine Beasts, Divine Breath, and Legends of Ancient Gods
Because Fairy Yuan had rescued her grandfather now, her mood immediately improved, and she returned to her former lively and cute nature. She volunteered to stay in the Golden Sect and wait for the Lantern Festival to come back, and then go back to play for two days.
Grandpa Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he had to go back to Sanxian Small Market with Senmu and the other five people.
Yuanxiao once again entered the trial passage through the bamboo teleportation array, followed the same pattern, and brought out the second group of people.
When Yuanxiao entered the trial passage for the third time, only the two descendants of the divine beasts, Shenlong and Hong Laogui, were left inside.
When Yuanxiao led the two of them through the Sunset Temple Hall, Shenlong and Hong Laogui stopped and observed the Sunset Temple Hall for a long time.
"Little friend Yuan, there is an aura in this temple that we have been looking for and following. Where is this place?" Old Ghost Hong asked.
"Sunset Temple! According to this name, it should be a place dedicated to worshiping gods!" Yuanxiao replied.
"As expected! No wonder we feel a familiar aura engraved in our bones here, and all the blood in our bodies begins to feel it." Shenlong said.
"I am a descendant of the ancient divine dragon clan, and the old red ghost is a descendant of the ancient divine phoenix clan. According to the records of our divine dragon lineage, about a million years ago, the immortal clan rose up and began to challenge the rule of the ancient gods."
"After the ancient immortal war that lasted for thousands of years, the ancient gods completely fell. Since then, the immortal clan has occupied the ancient god world, renamed it the immortal world, and has ruled until today."
"Although we still call ourselves mythical beasts now, and outsiders also call us mythical beasts, we ourselves clearly know that we are no longer the mythical beasts we once were, and we have degenerated."
"Since the ancient gods completely fell and the ancient gods world was completely transformed into the fairy world by the immortal world, we can no longer find the aura of the ancient gods world. Due to the long-term inability to absorb the divine aura, our abilities have been seriously degraded."
"In the end, in order to survive, the descendants of our mythical beast clan were divided into two levels. They either stayed in the fairy world and began to absorb fairy energy, and eventually became fairy beasts; the lower level mythical beasts stayed in the human world, began to absorb spiritual energy, and became spiritual beasts. "
"For example, Hong Laogui and I, although we are descendants of the mythical beast clan, we only have extremely thin blood of the mythical beasts in our bodies. It's not that we want to be like this, but that we have lost the environment of the ancient god world where we once lived. The most important thing is that we Lost the opportunity to absorb divine energy."
"If we can absorb enough divine energy, we will naturally be able to gradually recover from the current low-level spiritual beasts or the intermediate-level fairy beasts to the real divine beasts! The real divine beasts are our peak state!" Shenlong said excitedly .
"Little friend Yuan, the reason why I followed you and appeared in front of you in the trial passage is because I felt the divine energy in you!"
When the old man Hong heard this, he also nodded, expressing his approval of Shenlong's statement, because he also felt the divine energy in Yuanxiao.
Yuanxiao pondered for a moment, already having a guess in his mind.
Before the Apocalypse World, there was only fairy energy and spiritual energy. Since it absorbed the original power of the three small worlds of humans and monsters and the six spaces of prison secret realm, extraterritorial battlefield, and lawless land, it has gained a mysterious aura.
Yuanxiao never knew what this mysterious breath was, but after listening to Shenlong's words today, she had a clear understanding in her heart. Maybe this mysterious breath was the divine breath in Shenlong's mouth.
If it is finally confirmed to be divine breath, it means that the Apocalypse World has spiritual energy, fairy energy and divine breath at the same time, and is suitable for everyone to live and practice.
Yuan Xiao thought for a while, turned over his hand and took out a fire crystal stone, and said, "Is the divine breath you are talking about the energy and breath contained in this fire crystal stone?"
"Oh my God! It's a divine stone!" Shenlong Tunyun and the divine phoenix red old ghost immediately came to Yuanxiao and stared excitedly at the fire crystal stone in Yuanxiao's hand, trembling all over.
"Yes, this is the most fundamental source of divine breath. Divine stones are the most precious cultivation resources in the ancient god world. For us, the divine beast clan and the ancient gods, the divine stones are equivalent to the top-grade spiritual stones or absolute spiritual stones in the hands of monks in the human world today. "Lingshi is extremely precious."
"Can you tell me what the ancient gods you mentioned just now are like? And what is the relationship between your mythical beasts and the ancient gods?" Yuan Xiao wanted to ask clearly first, but the time was not ripe yet, so he did not want to reveal too much for the time being. Because even he himself didn't understand it.
"The ancient god is the master of our mythical beast clan. Our mythical beasts are actually the ancient gods' divine pets and war pets. The relationship between the ancient gods and our mythical beasts is like the relationship between you and the flying tiger and the little golden mink just now. " Shenlong said.
So it turns out that, just like my relationship with Xiao Jin and Xiao Huang, isn’t that mythical beast the ancient god’s personal pet?
"As for the appearance of the ancient gods, according to the records of our mythical beast clan, the young ancient gods are comparable to the most majestic mountains; the adult ancient gods are estimated to be close to the size of a current cultivation country."
"As for our former ancient god leader, the legendary Hundred Star Ancient God Qitian is comparable in size to our two current cultivation countries combined."
"The body of an adult ancient god has its own universe, like a small universe, giving birth to many small stars. These small stars are not only the embodiment of the ancient god's strength, but also the embodiment of its potential. The small stars that have been lit represent strength, and those that have not been lit represent strength. The little stars represent potential.”
"The legendary leader of the Ancient Gods, Qi Tian, had a hundred lit little stars in his body. He was the strongest fighting force of the Ancient Gods at that time!"
Yuan Xiao was greatly shocked when he heard this. He had guessed correctly just now.
The little giant of Wuzhi Mountain that he saw was one of the ancient gods, and there were indeed many small stars in its body, but Yuanxiao had not had time to explore it.
According to Shenlong's introduction just now, the little giant of Wuzhi Mountain should be the remains of an adult ancient god, about the size of half of the Song Dynasty.
As for the big giant that was divided into six pieces, Yuanxiao had already estimated that it might be Qi Tian, the leader of the ancient gods mentioned by Shenlong.
Qi Tian's remains were divided into six pieces, and the six spaces added together were indeed close to the size of two cultivation countries.
Such a powerful ancient god was still defeated by the rising immortals, which shows how powerful the immortals who participated in the ancient immortal war were!
"The ancient gods have such a strong physique, and their strength must be not weak. Why were they overthrown by the immortals? Can you two explain it?" Yuanxiao asked.
"It happened nearly a million years ago, and we have no way to investigate the truth. It's just that according to the records of our divine beast clan, although the ancient gods are powerful, their number is very small, and it is difficult to reproduce offspring." Shenlong began to explain.
"A million years ago, there were only a few hundred ancient gods in the entire ancient god world. Each ancient god managed a vast territory, while the number of immortals was in the tens of millions, and the number difference was extremely large."
"When the strength of the immortals had not yet risen, the ancient gods could still suppress the large number of immortals. Later, more and more immortal leaders appeared, and the balance of power gradually tilted."
"Finally, under the leadership of the three super powers in the immortal world, the human race's Tianzu, the demon race's Mozu, and the monster race's Yaozu, after a thousand-year war, the ancient gods were completely defeated and the immortal world was established."
"Now, are there any living ancient gods?" Yuan Xiao asked.
