Pei Tu Gou
Chapter 440 Fiery Eyes Forged in the Eight Trigrams Furnace (Third Update)
"Yes, this junior is Wei Shaoyou...ah?"
Hearing the Daoist call his name, Wei Shaoyou subconsciously answered.
But hearing what followed, he was struck by lightning. His dazed mind tensed instantly, and if it hadn't been for Ye Xiaoyi's magical restraint, he would have almost jumped up.
The Eleventh Era?!
How did he know?
Wei Shaoyou's body trembled, his mind buzzing. He was speechless for a moment, unable to say a word.
Deception?
Not to mention the extremely powerful and meticulous Yuanshen divine will, nor that this Daoist was Old Celestial Master's master.
Just this one thing – the supreme power he wielded when he killed that old toad's Dharmakaya.
No one dared to lie in front of him.
Not to mention, he asked at any time, but his tone was extremely certain, obviously having obtained the answer through some method he couldn't understand.
The Eleventh Era?
Both Sa Wuling and Ye Xiaoyi frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled.
An Qisheng looked at Wei Shaoyou, seeing him very clearly, his muscles, bones, skin, flesh, internal organs, soul, and even the countless tiny particles that made up his true spiritual light.
Everything was like looking at lines on a palm, with nothing hidden.
Anyone whose cultivation was far inferior to his could not possibly have secrets in front of him.
Not to mention that Wei Shaoyou wasn't even a Yuanshen. His spirit in front of him wasn't even as good as a sieve. Even if the heavenly secrets were confused, it couldn't deceive him.
Unless, Huangtian personally intervened, but how could that deceive him?
Sixty years of silent meditation, with Qi seeds spread throughout the mountains and rivers of the world. What he gained was not just the power of having mountains and rivers reflect his every move, but also a perception of the earth far surpassing any Yuanshen True Person.
"S-Senior..."
Wei Shaoyou's lips moved, and his voice was so hoarse that he startled himself.
"Teacher."
Sa Wuling bowed slightly and said softly:
"This man is the only son of Marquis Dingyang of Ying Province. When this disciple promoted the new laws to Ying Province, Marquis Dingyang made great contributions. Three of his four brothers died, so this disciple passed on the Taiji Induction Chapter to him, agreeing that if he could receive the talisman, he would be accepted as a disciple..."
At this point, he didn't continue.
The meaning was naturally clear.
"Teacher."
Wei Shaoyou was grateful in his heart and respectfully bowed to Sa Wuling:
"Thank you for your kindness, Teacher. This disciple will not hide anything from the Grandmaster..."
Saying that, he bowed deeply again, prostrating himself before An Qisheng:
"Grandmaster is right. This disciple indeed comes from the Eleventh Era after the end of the Tenth Era, but this is a long story..."
Hu~
An Qisheng waved his hand, and the surrounding clouds gathered to form a cloud boat, carrying everyone.
He flicked his sleeve and sat cross-legged on the deck, indicating slightly:
"Sit down, take your time and tell us. We will listen slowly."
His expression was peaceful, not hurried or impatient, and his gaze swept seemingly casually across the distance, beyond the sealed space, into the void hundreds of thousands of miles away.
There stood the embarrassed Tianji Daoist and the monk Dakong, caught between advancing and retreating.
"Yes."
Sa Wuling was thoughtful, shook his head, and smiled, also sitting down cross-legged.
Ye Xiaoyi took a deep look at Wei Shaoyou, vaguely remembering what her teacher had told her when she left the capital. Could it be that her teacher had been watching this person since then?
Taiji Daoist, the Old Celestial Master before attaining the Dao, Old Celestial Master's junior sister...
Wei Shaoyou looked at the three people sitting cross-legged, his heart pounding, trembling, and failing to sit down properly several times. His hands and feet were shaking badly.
These three people in front of him were all great figures he could only look up to.
"Sit."
Sa Wuling sighed softly, calming the turmoil in his heart:
"It's alright."
"Thank you, Master."
Wei Shaoyou took a deep breath before sitting down, his body still slightly bent forward.
After organizing his thoughts a bit, he began to tell his origins:
"The so-called Eleventh Era refers to the ten world-destroying calamities that this world has experienced since records began...
One era, one calamity, one evil. Now is the Huangtian Tenth Era. Where I came from before, is the Eleventh Era..."
"Ten world-destroying calamities? You come from the Eleventh Era?!"
Ye Xiaoyi's heart trembled.
Only now did she understand what the Eleventh Era was.
But upon understanding, disbelief arose in her heart. How could such a person with low magic power, unable to even fly, travel through time and space?
She didn't doubt whether Wei Shaoyou was lying, because she trusted her teacher.
Sa Wuling was also somewhat surprised, but his focus was not on Wei Shaoyou's origins, but on the world-destroying calamities.
"One era, one calamity, one evil... then, in the Eleventh Era, there is an eleventh Huangtian Ten Evils level great demon ghost?"
Sa Wuling looked at Wei Shaoyou and asked:
"Then, the so-called world-destroying calamity, is it related to the Huangtian Ten Evils?"
"Legend says it is related, but no one knows how, and this disciple doesn't know either..."
Wei Shaoyou said, glancing at Sa Wuling.
If anyone knew the true truth about the world-destroying calamity, it would only be the Old Celestial Master after he attained the Dao in the future.
Apart from him, even in the future Eleventh Era, no one knew why the world-destroying calamity came, or whether it was related to the Huangtian Ten Evils.
"The legends say that the prelude to the world-destroying calamity is the shattering of the sky, the fall of the great moon, the falling of the stars, the collapse of the sky and the sinking of the land, the evaporation of the sea, and the annihilation of all living beings..."
Wei Shaoyou slowly spoke, recounting everything he knew in detail, from the differences between the two eras to the legends of some other eras.
The only thing he didn't say was Sa Wuling's future deeds.
As he spoke, Wei Shaoyou's heart also became heavy.
Once the world-destroying calamity arrived, all living beings would be annihilated, and only a few would be able to survive. Just thinking about such a scene made his heart feel heavy and unable to breathe.
People weren't plants or trees, but were saddened by the loss of their kind. Even the most evil and cruel person couldn't remain untouched when faced with the future of countless members of their species dying out in one day.
Sa Wuling and Ye Xiaoyi listened, their minds racing, unable to remain calm.
"Legend has it that the prelude to the world-destroying calamity should be in more than three hundred years, and the true destruction will last only one day..."
After a long time, Wei Shaoyou finally took a deep breath, ending his story, and the heart hanging in his throat gradually relaxed as he spoke.
Old Celestial Master was such an upright person, his teacher should also be kind and compassionate...
As for the extremely fierce knife he had seen before, it seemed to have been forgotten by him.
"One era, one evil, then, the First Era should only have one great demon ghost, but if one great demon ghost is already enough to destroy the world, why add one more each era?
There must be a reason for this."
Sa Wuling looked at An Qisheng and bowed slightly: "What does Teacher think?"
He didn't explore how Wei Shaoyou came, because that was meaningless.
Compared to the future world-destroying calamity, everything else seemed insignificant.
"No one knows the reason for now, but it's not too important. Since the world-destroying calamity may be related to the Huangtian Ten Evils, then completely seal them, or even kill them, and perhaps this matter will be solved?"
Ye Xiaoyi said.
Although she had doubts about the so-called world-destroying calamity, even if it was only a possibility, it would be an unbearable pain.
"It's useless."
An Qisheng finally spoke slowly:
"The Huangtian Ten Evils are born from Yin evil resentment Qi. The closer to the world-destroying calamity, the more active they become. No seal can permanently seal them, as for killing them...
That may not be impossible."
He looked at the few people faintly, his thoughts different from theirs.
He knew everything Wei Shaoyou knew, but this made him slightly puzzled. If Wei Shaoyou's 'time travel' was related to that Huangtian, how would He allow himself to easily perceive these secrets?
Only he knew that what they truly had to face was not these ten 'Heaven-raised dogs', but 'Heaven' itself, or Huangtian.
Kill them?
Sa Wuling and Ye Xiaoyi looked in unison towards the desolate mountains and rivers beneath the swirling clouds.
When the body is large to a certain extent, the oppression it gives is unprecedented.
How could such a great demon ghost, a great demon ghost said to be immortal and indestructible in legends, be completely killed?
"I'm afraid this matter will be difficult."
Sa Wuling sighed softly.
If what Wei Shaoyou said was true, then ancient times would be far more than just ten thousand years.
From the first great demon ghost to the current Huangtian Ten Evils, no one had ever been able to truly obliterate even one.
"What in this world is certain to succeed?"
An Qisheng shook his head slightly and looked at Ye Xiaoyi, who had hidden worries on her face:
"Xiaoyi, what do you want to say?"
"Teacher, if this person really comes from the Eleventh Era, doesn't that mean that no matter how we struggle, we will eventually be unable to escape this world-destroying calamity?"
Ye Xiaoyi expressed her concerns.
"The future is uncertain. What he experienced may not be false, but that may not be our future."
An Qisheng's gaze flickered slightly.
The future had no fixed pattern, and no one knew this better than him.
The Daoyitu could glimpse a person's destiny trajectory, but the destiny trajectory it displayed was not a single one.
Just like Sa Wuling, his original trajectory was to die at the Myriad Dharma Assembly, killed by Tianyi Daoist.
After he set foot in this world, there had been earth-shaking changes, but he still didn't live to the next era.
And in Wei Shaoyou's memory, he saw Sa Wuling's third destiny trajectory. This should be the future that changed after he saw Sa Wuling's second destiny trajectory.
And now that he had seen the third destiny trajectory, then the future would naturally change again.
Ye Xiaoyi seemed to have more questions, but she didn't ask further.
"Even if we really can't change it, we should still try."
Sa Wuling's aura was calm, neither happy nor sad.
"That's right."
An Qisheng chuckled softly.
Shua~!
The cloud boat suddenly pierced through the air, crossing hundreds of miles in an instant, and shuttled through the layers of sonic booms that rose.
Not long after, Yan Xiake and Wang E's figures fell from the sky and landed on the cloud boat.
Their speed of aerial flight was far inferior to Sa Wuling's. If the cloud boat didn't go, they didn't know when they would arrive.
"True Person..."
Yan Xiake bowed slightly and saluted.
"Get up."
An Qisheng raised his hand and let him rise.
He glanced at the distant Tianji Daoist and monk Dakong, who looked embarrassed but had to approach.
These two were trapped in the sealed space with no way to escape. After waiting for a long time without seeing An Qisheng attack them, their thoughts changed again. After thinking for a long time, they decided to come forward and seek him out.
An Qisheng only glanced at the two and didn't care much, his gaze falling on Wang E.
To be precise, he was looking at the 'vertical eye' between his eyebrows.
This 'vertical eye' was a rare innate divine power, passed down from the source of his bloodline. It was not necessarily stronger than cultivated divine powers.
It even had more restrictions than divine powers acquired through cultivation.
But it was also a rare seed of divine power.
"Teacher, this is a disciple that this disciple won in a bet. He has extraordinary talent and an amazing physique..."
Seeing An Qisheng looking at Wang E, Sa Wuling explained again.
In sixty years, he had accepted many disciples, already exceeding a hundred, of course, like Wei Shaoyou before, they were registered disciples.
Wang E was the first one he truly wanted to accept.
"Hmph!"
Hearing Sa Wuling's words, Wang E snorted coldly, but he didn't dare to be disrespectful in front of An Qisheng and immediately cupped his fist:
"Wang E has met True Person!"
"Indeed, a good physique."
An Qisheng couldn't help but nod in agreement.
Wang E's physique was extraordinary. He was born with a body of external training, not inferior to the legendary imperishable body in the slightest.
What was even rarer was that he had a Dharma Eye.
If his physique could be refined, and his Dharma Eye cultivated, his physique might even surpass Sa Wuling's!
Great potential!
"Do you want to truly refine this Dharma Eye?"
An Qisheng asked.
Wang E was slightly stunned:
"How to refine it?"
"Refine it with fire!"
"Refine it with fire?"
Wang E was shocked and was about to say something when he heard a buzzing sound, followed by a huge pill furnace covering him.
Bang!
