Huh?
Listening to Emperor Canglan's account, Ye Cangtian's brows gradually furrowed.
Earlier, in the Saudi ruins, he had obtained a Zhen Xin Stele, which had previously conjured illusions.
It was a father and daughter. From the father, he learned that the Gate of Chaos was about to open, and he instructed his daughter to stay in the barbaric lands to avoid danger...
Could it be that the so-called danger was the great catastrophe of heaven and earth that Emperor Canglan spoke of?
Thinking to himself, Ye Cangtian looked at the other party and continued, "Since it's a great catastrophe of heaven and earth, why can you still die and be reborn?"
"I don't know the specific reason!"
Emperor Canglan glanced at Ye Cangtian, remained silent for a moment, and then continued, "However, if I think about it carefully, I can understand!"
As he spoke, Emperor Canglan shared his guess.
The reason they were resurrected was likely the grand design of some great deity.
And the purpose of leaving them behind was to revive human civilization.
Firstly, by resurrecting them, ancient human wisdom could be passed down, such as cultivation techniques, alchemy secrets, smelting secrets, and so on.
Secondly, they could also serve as the best whetstones, as strong individuals were forged through constant tempering.
This...
Hearing this explanation, Ye Cangtian was stunned. He had truly not considered this aspect.
In his original view, imprisoning these demons and monsters was an evil method, harboring secrets that could not be revealed.
But now, it seemed he was wrong. The other party's explanation was likely more convincing.
The reason was simple: even he, just now, wanted to leave a trace of inheritance for the ruins.
Therefore, in ancient times, facing the great catastrophe of heaven and earth, countless people must have had such thoughts.
After a moment of silence, Ye Cangtian, while he still had time before taking action, continued to ask, "As Emperor Canglan, what do you know about the Heavenly Realm?"
"The Heavenly Realm? Heh."
"The so-called Heavenly Realm is another continent suitable for human life."
"The difference is that the environment there is very conducive to cultivation, thus nurturing many great deity-level figures. And because of their power, they do not call themselves humans but rather Immortals and Gods..."
Emperor Canglan's face showed disdain. In his opinion, those so-called Immortals and Gods were merely humans who were a bit more powerful.
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian seized the opportunity and continued, "Then, regarding the Heavenly Realm you mentioned, once one goes there, is there a possibility of returning? And what benefits would it bring us?"
Ye Cangtian could see at a glance that Emperor Canglan was tired of the Heavenly Realm, so he planned to use Emperor Canglan's words to dispel everyone's yearning for the Heavenly Realm.
After all, everything that happened here could be seen by outsiders through the spatial windows.
"It is possible to return to the Heavenly Realm, at least in ancient times."
"However, the conditions for returning must have been quite harsh. Among countless people, only one or two lucky ones could achieve it."
"Beyond that, I don't know much about the Heavenly Realm, nor am I sure if the Immortal Realm was also baptized by the catastrophe. However, if one can indeed go there, some benefits might be gained..."
Emperor Canglan provided his response. The Heavenly Realm was a higher existence than the Canglan Continent, and it had nurtured countless great deities.
Therefore, if one could go to the Heavenly Realm, perhaps they could find powerful cultivation techniques and treasures!
This was not impossible.
After all, even the Canglan Continent was not completely destroyed, so the Heavenly Realm, with so many great deities, could have preserved something even if it encountered the great catastrophe of heaven and earth.
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian's brows furrowed. He was very dissatisfied with the answer.
If everyone heard this, they would likely yearn for the Heavenly Realm even more.
"Kid, I've answered so many of your questions. Now, as a courtesy, shouldn't you answer two questions for me?"
Just then, Emperor Canglan's voice came.
Ye Cangtian looked up at him and made a gesture of invitation.
Seeing this, Emperor Canglan did not hesitate and directly asked, "Why can you absorb life force and spiritual energy, and this ability is quite formidable. In ancient times, no one could surpass me in this ability!"
Heh.
Ye Cangtian heard this, smiled slightly, and then said, "It originates from my master's lineage, and I've also improved the cultivation technique myself. You know, humans are ultimately infinitely wise and are constantly growing stronger."
Hearing this explanation, Emperor Canglan remained silent for a moment and slowly nodded.
The next moment, he spoke again, "Next question: you have met the owner of the Four Seals and inquired about the Heavenly Realm. Have you gathered the Four Seals?"
"That's right!"
"However, I only have three seals in my hand now. If you can kill me, you might find the other one..."
Ye Cangtian nodded, not concealing anything. It was useless to conceal such matters.
"Hahaha, good, very good. I have been trapped for countless years, and now I finally have hope!"
"Then, as you said, I will kill you and take the three seals on your person!"
Upon hearing Ye Cangtian's answer, Emperor Canglan laughed excitedly.
This was the most joyful thing he had heard since his resurrection.
As long as he could gather the Four Seals, he could open the gate to the Heavenly Realm, thus escaping this prison and regaining his freedom.
And if all this succeeded, with the resources of the Heavenly Realm, he might be able to truly resurrect...
"Aren't you thinking a bit too wishfully?"
Looking at the other party's smiling face, Ye Cangtian directly interrupted, continuing, "I said I only have three seals on me. Even if you get them, you won't be able to open the gate to the Heavenly Realm!"
Hahaha...
As Ye Cangtian's voice fell, Emperor Canglan burst into laughter.
"Little insect, your brain is ultimately not sharp enough!"
"The Four Seals have a connection with each other. If I kill you, the three seals will naturally remain. Then, the person holding the fourth seal will naturally know that you died here and will try their best to avenge you!"
"And if he comes, wouldn't the Four Seals be complete?"
Emperor Canglan's voice came. Ye Cangtian's brows furrowed. If he really died here, Elder Zhou would indeed risk his life to avenge him.
Thinking of this, Ye Cangtian's gaze became sharp, and he constantly warned himself that he absolutely could not die here, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable...
"Little insect, we've talked enough. It's time to get down to business!"
"Given that you've brought me three seals, I'll do my best to let you die without pain!"
On the other side, Emperor Canglan looked at Ye Cangtian, and two daggers had already appeared in his hand.
*Hum!*
With a flick of his hand, two dragon roars echoed, and the daggers were instantly enveloped by dragon-shaped spiritual energy and shot towards Ye Cangtian.
Huh?
Ye Cangtian's brows furrowed. He instantly drew the Death Scythe and swept out a Sky-Breaking Slash.
*Clang! * *Hiss!*
In an instant, Ye Cangtian's shoulder bloomed with a splash of blood.
Looking at the daggers on his shoulder, Ye Cangtian was somewhat astonished.
He had expected his Sky-Breaking Slash to cut down both daggers, but he never imagined that he would only block one.
The other dagger, however, brushed past the Death Scythe and directly embedded itself in his shoulder.
Ye Cangtian found this situation truly incredible.
After all, his mental power was not weak. Under normal circumstances, he could accurately determine the strength and speed of the opponent's attack.
However, this time he had made a mistake, which truly made him unable to understand.
"Boss!"
"Mr. Ye..."
Seeing Ye Cangtian injured, everyone in the three-story hall exclaimed.
Although Ye Cangtian's injuries were not severe, they would still affect his combat power, which was definitely not a good omen.
At that moment, everyone's hearts were in their throats.
"Little insect, you're actually not dead, you've got some skill!"
Emperor Canglan's gaze fell on Ye Cangtian, and another dagger appeared in his hand. However, this time, the number of daggers increased from two to four.
With a wave of his hand, four clear dragon roars sounded.
Emperor Canglan also revealed a victorious smile, "Rest in peace. This should be beyond your limit. Little Black, prepare to collect the corpse."
"Thank you, master, thank you, master!"
The Black Ink Ice Wave Flood Dragon, prostrate at Emperor Canglan's feet, heard this and immediately kowtowed humanely.
Finally, he could repay the debt of his severed tail and arm!
*Clang!* *Clang!* *Clang!*
Just then, three consecutive sounds of weapons colliding echoed. Emperor Canglan's brows immediately furrowed.
He was not surprised that these three daggers were blocked.
What surprised him was why he didn't hear the sound of the fourth dagger piercing through the body. This was clearly abnormal...
