Qin Luo asked curiously, "What's going on?"

Jiang Li looked at the mural in front of him and frowned slightly. "Many years ago, there was a witch of unparalleled talent in the Witch Clan. She was originally the hope for the revitalization of the Witch Clan, but she fell in love with a Taoist priest. Witches are not allowed to have feelings. Later, she was brought back by a powerful member of the Witch Clan and imprisoned in Peach Mountain."

"Legend has it that the Taoist priest was a disciple of the Taoist Ancestor, and his skills were terrifying. He single-handedly stormed Mount Peach to rescue the witch. The battle was extremely fierce and lasted for a long time. It was the beginning of the conflict between the Taoist priest and the witch priest. In the end, the witch chose to sacrifice herself to stop them."

"In order to alleviate the conflict between the Taoist priest and the sorcerer, the Taoist patriarch expelled that Taoist from his sect."

Listening to Jiang Li's story, Qin Luo thought of the founder of Longhu Temple. He was a disciple who was expelled from the sect by the Dao Ancestor. However, his master did not say anything about this at the time, but only that the founder's views were incompatible with those of the Dao Ancestor.

Being expelled from the sect by the Dao Ancestor is probably not just a matter of differing opinions; there are likely many other stories involved, perhaps related to the story Jiang Li told. However, these murals may not necessarily record the true history.

After listening to Jiang Li's story, Hua Ying felt a pang of sympathy for the priestess for some reason. She looked at Jiang Li and asked, "Can priestesses these days have feelings?"

"cannot."

Jiang Li shook her head.

Qin Luo thought of Zhu Guangming and could tell at a glance that he liked Jiang Li, but it was unlikely that things would turn out well for them.

Hua Ying frowned slightly. "Do you think this is reasonable?"

"This is the price of becoming a priestess."

Jiang Li said with a firm look in her eyes.

Hua Ying fell silent.

The mural in front of him depicts an old man riding an ox, and the surrounding high shamans are all bowing in reverence. Jiang Li's eyes are filled with awe. "This is the place where the Dao Ancestor conferred the title of god in one battle, and all races submitted to him!"

As they ventured deeper, the murals became increasingly blurry, depicting many ancient deities. It was difficult to discern what was depicted, so they relied on Jiang Li to explain it to them.

"This is the war between the Lich and the Demon. The Lich Ancestor suffered heavy losses in this battle, and our Lich Clan began to decline."

......

Deep within the forbidden area.

A tall stone pillar appeared before them.

This stone pillar was extremely large. Qin Luo even felt that the stone pillar was taller than the Wushan Mountain that surrounded it, and they appeared extremely small in front of the stone pillar.

There was a layer of mysterious silver-gray substance on the surface of the Pillar of Creation. Hua Ying said softly, "This is chaotic matter."

Hua Ying's eyes narrowed slightly, and she said softly, "After the creation of heaven and earth, there was very little chaotic matter. The history of this stone pillar can probably be traced back to the beginning of creation."

"It's a pity it broke!"

Qin Luo noticed a crack at the top of the stone pillar.

The surface of the Pillar of Creation has many mysterious patterns that emit a chaotic light. These ancient patterns are older and more obscure than the murals in the passageway.

With reverence in his eyes, Jiang Li said softly, "There is an ancient legend among the Wu tribe that as long as the complete Pillar of Creation is found, all secrets can be unlocked."

Qin Luo seemed somewhat interested. "Miss Jiang, do you know where the broken part is?"

Jiang Li shook his head, "After the separation of heaven and earth, the era of humans and gods living together ended. The broken part should be in the current immortal realm, but I don't know exactly where it is."

Qin Luo walked to the Pillar of Creation and reached out to touch it. The Pillar of Creation burst forth with dazzling chaotic light, and a blurry scene appeared in Qin Luo's mind: two figures clashing repeatedly, fighting between heaven and earth. The pillar of heaven collapsed, the earth shattered, and even the sky was punched with holes. After an unknown amount of time, countless eyes appeared outside the holes, and the earth was shrouded in darkness.

"Master Qin."

Jiang Li's voice brought Qin Luo back to his senses. He quickly withdrew his hand, bowed, and apologized, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have touched the Pillar of Creation."

"It's alright, Master Qin. I was just saying that this figure looks a lot like you."

Qin Luo looked in the direction Jiang Li was pointing and saw a blurry figure below the Pillar of Creation, surrounded by darkness.

Hua Ying's eyes narrowed slightly. He looked at Qin Luo, then at the figure, and said, "You know what, it does look quite like him."

Qin Luo looked directly above the figure, at a scene resembling purgatory. "The whole world is silent, with only one person alive. Has such a scene ever existed?"

Jiang Li said softly, "It could be the future. The elders once said that this half of the Pillar of Creation can predict the future, as long as you can understand the contents on it."

"Does this mean a great calamity is imminent?"

Qin Luo frowned slightly.

"This foreshadows the great calamity that will bring many deaths, while others will rise up and face the darkness alone."

Jiang Li stared at Qin Luo.

Hua Ying initially frowned, but when she saw that aloof and independent figure, she smiled.

Looking at this bizarre scene, Qin Luo calmly said, "The future hasn't happened yet, anything is possible, now is not the time to worry unnecessarily."

"Too."

Hua Ying nodded and smiled softly.

Having read so much about the history of the Wu tribe, Qin Luo was most interested in the Taoist priest and the witch. "Thank you, Miss Jiang, for bringing us here. I have learned a lot."

"I hope this information will be helpful to you."

Jiang Li said with her head down.
