Chapter 451 The Legacy of the Gods
"Haha, I couldn't ask for more!"
Zhang Yang suddenly laughed loudly and looked very heroic. At this moment, he suddenly became curious about the lord of the former Chungui County, now Chungui City.
The term "end of the law catastrophe" will not be used by ordinary mortals, not even by new humans who have awakened superpowers. Only one kind of people will use it: immortal cultivators.
When Zhang Yang led his men and followed the team of knights into Chungui City, his judgment became clearer and clearer, because the entire Chungui City had really become a military fortress for immortal cultivators. Almost everything in the city could be connected to immortal cultivators, whether it was the city walls engraved with protective magic arrays, the watchtowers arranged with no-fly formations, the spiritual fruits watered with spiritual spring water, and even the streets paved with spirit gathering magic arrays.
This is a city whose core driving force is cultivating immortals.
Along the way, Zhang Yang was shocked on the surface, but actually he was more shocked in his heart, because he recognized many of the magic arrays and restrictions here. It was not that he was so knowledgeable and well-read, but his knowledge of the Golden Elixir Dao was only from the "Dao Jing".
So, when he saw many immortal methods and prohibitions from the "Da Dao Jing" in Chungui City, how could he not be surprised? But what surprised him even more was yet to come.
Chungui City is not big, but the City Lord's Mansion occupies at least half of it, so the team of knights quickly arrived with Zhang Yang and his companions. Outside the gate of the City Lord's Mansion stood a young man in a sky blue robe, with a handsome face and extraordinary bearing.
"Your humble servants greet the young master!"
The knights saluted immediately, but Zhang Yang was the only one who was filled with shock.
He swore that he had never been to Chungui County, but he recognized the young master of Chungui City.
Yes, this guy is clearly Yun Chuzi, the first disciple of Qing Fengzi, the former leader of the Da Dao Sect, and also his cheap senior brother.
It seems that I got a Taoist name at the beginning, but I forgot what it was called.
But that’s not the point.
When he first met Qing Fengzi and Yun Chuzi, the leaders of the Da Dao Sect, he was in the fourth sequence. Afterwards, he transformed into a Zerg trumpet and kept struggling until the main body and the shareholder of destiny parted ways. Then, the Zerg trumpet that he had trained with great effort was snatched away by the shareholder of destiny, and the main body exiled himself to the fifth sequence until this moment.
"It can't be that this world is in the fourth sequence, right? That's absolutely impossible. Or is it that Master Qingfengzi and Master Yunchuzi ran from the fourth sequence to the fifth sequence? That's also impossible. So, apart from ruling out the possibility that they are fakes, the only truth left is that the Xianxia world where the Da Dao Sect once existed has fallen from the fourth sequence to the fifth sequence."
Zhang Yang's thoughts were changing rapidly in his mind, but his face showed no expression.
"Please come in, everyone. My name is Yun Chuzi. My master is Qing Fengzi, and I am now the lord of Spring Return City. I am here to entertain you on my master's orders. I am also responsible for guiding you in joining Spring Return City. If I have offended you, please forgive me."
As soon as Yun Chuzi opened his mouth, Zhang Yang became even more certain that this was his cheap senior brother. It was a pity that he couldn't recognize him with his previous identity now, and many things in this world were strange, so he had to be careful.
He also cupped his hands and said, "Young City Lord, thank you for your hard work. My name is Zhang Jue, and these are my trusted men. Let's—"
Before Zhang Yang finished speaking, Yun Chuzi smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Brother Zhang, don't worry, and don't hide anything. At the very least, you don't have to hide the fact that you are from other small worlds. We just need to confirm that you are human, and then you can pass some tests to join Chungui City."
Zhang Yang was stunned. This was not in line with the script. "In that case, I don't have to hide it. We were indeed misled by some unknown factors and then entered this strange and rotten world. Can you help us solve this puzzle?"
"Of course, please follow me."
Yun Chuzi still calmly led Zhang Yang and others into the City Lord's Mansion, but did not go deep into the house. He just stopped in a relatively spacious courtyard.
"Since you can pass the test of the Linshanhe Sun and Moon Demon-Slaying Monument, there is a 90% chance that you are not a demon. If you really only stay here for one night, this test is enough. But if you want to join my Spring Return City, you must undergo a more detailed assessment. Here are some talismans. You only need to stick one on your forehead and one on your chest. If the talisman does not burn, you have passed. But to reassure you, please test them one by one."
Yun Chuzi then took out a large stack of talismans that were shining with spiritual light. Zhang Yang immediately recognized that these were clearly the core basic talismans of the Da Dao Sect - the Soul-Nourishing Talisman.
At that moment, Zhang Yang signaled Robert to be the first to step forward for the test. In fact, he was not worried about anything. Except for the three reincarnated sword spirits, all the others had practiced the soul-nourishing talismans. The lowest one had reached the eighth level, and the highest one had reached the twelfth level. As for Zhang Yang himself, he had already practiced to the eighteenth level.
But then again, using soul-nourishing talismans to test whether the soul is controlled by a demon is indeed an excellent method. It has to be said that the former Da Dao Sect was really very capable.
At this time Robert stood in front, Yun Chuzi flicked his finger, and two soul-nourishing talismans with spiritual light flew out of thin air, one fell on Robert's eyebrows, and the other fell on his heart. The next moment, as Yun Chuzi uttered a spell, the two soul-nourishing talismans actually shone brightly and were instantly absorbed by Robert.
This situation frightened Yun Chuzi, and his eyes were full of disbelief, but he was a knowledgeable man after all, and he immediately saw the clue.
"What a pure soul, and the homology is so high. Fellow Daoist Zhang Jiao, could it be that this subordinate of yours is also practicing immortal arts?"
Zhang Yang smiled, knowing that he could no longer hide it, "Senior Brother Yun Chuzi, what you are holding in your hand, could it be the core foundation talisman of our sect, the Soul-Nourishing Talisman?"
"What? Do you recognize this talisman?"
Yun Chuzi was not surprised but happy. He looked at Zhang Yang with excitement as if he had seen a relative.
"I used to be an outer disciple of the Da Dao Sect. Later, the sect underwent a drastic change. I luckily escaped death and went to a small world, where I recruited and trained some subordinates. If you hadn't taken out the soul-nourishing talisman just now, I probably wouldn't have dared to recognize you."
Zhang Yang lied, but it was not really a lie, because he knew from his conversation with Yun Chuzi that the Da Dao Sect was on the same level as several giants in the world of immortal heroes. There were tens of thousands of core disciples in the sect alone, and countless outer disciples.
So since I can't hide it, I might as well pretend to be an outer disciple of the Da Dao Sect.
"Brother Zhang Jiao, that's great, that's great! I haven't seen other fellow disciples in all these years. I thought you were all dead - Master, Master!"
To Zhang Yang's surprise, Yun Chuzi actually cried and hugged Zhang Yang and shook him wildly. His handsome and dignified image just now collapsed instantly. It was really like a wanderer who had been away from home for a lifetime and finally returned after going through untold hardships.
The next moment, a figure appeared silently. Who else could it be but Qing Fengzi, the last leader of the Da Dao Sect? This old man looked older than before, but his strength was unfathomable.
“Master!”
Yun Chuzi wanted to explain, but Qing Fengzi didn't listen at all. He was like a gust of wind, pinching all of Zhang Yang's men in an instant, especially Qing Jiao. His eyes suddenly became bright.
Zhang Yang suddenly thought to himself that it was terrible. He never expected that the best friend Qing Jiao mentioned was actually his cheap master Qing Fengzi.
but--
"Hey, Green Python Body, the aura in your body is so similar to that of my best friend back then. If it weren't for the fact that my best friend never left any bloodline, I would have almost believed that it was the case. So who exactly are you?"
Qing Jiao looked at Zhang Yang, and Zhang Yang looked at Qing Jiao again. This could no longer be concealed. After all, Qing Fengzi's current strength was probably at the Spirit Severing Stage.
You can't beat him in a fight, so Zhang Yang was about to speak, but Qing Jiao spoke first: "Chun Gui, you are old too."
Just with these few words, old man Qingfengzi was so excited that he seemed to have the shakes, and a line of tears flowed uncontrollably.
"Zhu Ye, it's really you, Zhu Ye. Do you know that not long after you ascended to the heaven, the catastrophe of the end of the law came. Our world of immortals and demons was attacked by demons from all walks of life. The Dao Sect was destroyed, and the Tiandi Sword Sect was destroyed. In just three hundred years, the originally prosperous world has become a ghost den like it is today. Although I was in the Mahayana realm back then, I couldn't support it alone. I fled everywhere with my disciples, but eventually I died. Until one day, those demons from the outside world suddenly withdrew, and I was lucky enough to survive with my disciples, and rebuilt this Chungui City."
"However, Zhuye, you have ascended to heaven, so how come you are here? And you look so weak now. When the world was in turmoil, why didn't the heaven intervene? Why did they allow those demons from the outside world to slaughter billions of lives?"
Old man Qingfengzi asked a lot of questions in a weird manner. Qingjiao smiled bitterly, but looked at Zhang Yang again, because even he could not answer them completely.
"Who is he, Zhuye? Is he your new disciple? You have trained this batch of disciples very well. I just checked and the lowest level of soul-nourishing talisman is level eight!"
Old man Qingfengzi was so excited that he didn't even notice the embarrassment in the situation.
"How can you be sure that you are Qing Fengzi, the last leader of the Da Dao Sect? Or, why do you think he is your good friend Zhu Ye?"
Zhang Yang spoke. He could not control the development of the situation, but there were some key things that he had to be on guard against.
"Boy, I am the old man. How can I prove it? Or you can prove that you are yourself? Nonsense!"
Qingfengzi said angrily.
"That's right. We can't prove it, so we can't trust each other. Even if you were close friends before, that was before the catastrophe of the Dharma Ending. Now the environment has changed, and we all need to be more cautious, unless one day we can prove our position. Before that, we have the right to refuse to answer any questions you ask us, because we don't know whether you are a friend or an enemy."
Zhang Yang said calmly that he should be the only one who knew the complete truth at this time, but he would not tell it. As I said before, Qingfengzi and his disciples needed to prove first that they were the real Qingfengzi.
Qing Jiao also silently took two steps back at this time. So what if they were close friends? He still believed that ascending to heaven was the ultimate goal of cultivating immortals. In the end, he almost became an artificial meat dragon.
At this moment, Qing Fengzi obviously did not know the truth about the so-called heaven, and was filled with anger as to why so many masters of the immortal world who had ascended to heaven did not come to save the world?
Alas, what a miserable life this is.
Zhang Yang shook his head. In fact, the truth was very simple.
The fairy world where the Da Dao Sect is located should be a scam created by some powerful god. They will cultivate artificial flesh dragons or crispy Mahayana cultivators when they have nothing to do and let them ascend to heaven to improve their food rations. But even if this is a scam, this fairy world still has a household registration in the fourth sequence.
Until one day, the powerful god had an accident and was most likely killed, so the fraudulent world he maintained was immediately invaded by opponents.
This was the so-called Dharma-ending catastrophe period that Zhang Yang experienced when he transformed into a Zerg trumpet.
As for later, after plundering enough resources, this scam world was plundered of its household registration and directly downgraded to the fifth sequence.
Because when we reach the fifth sequence, those invading demons and monsters will naturally leave. They are residents of the fourth sequence, so there is no need to reduce their dimensions together.
And this is what Qingfengzi said. Suddenly one day, all the invaders disappeared, and he had the opportunity to rebuild Chungui City.
However, as this world was downgraded to the fifth sequence, Qing Jiao, the flesh dragon that had been frozen in ice, was also liberated. So when Zhang Yang started the blood sacrifice of his cousin and had luck +5, it fell in front of him.
This is the whole truth. Although it is absurd and bizarre, it is the most accurate truth based on the six major sequences and the nature of the main trunk of the long river of time.
As for the blood clouds in this world, those blood-feathered birdmen, and the chains in the spine of the green dragon, they are most likely related to the original owner of this scam world.
There is no doubt about this. Even if some powerful gods are dead or beheaded, they still have power that cannot be ignored. Some of the arrangements and mechanisms they left behind will still be effective after countless years, and even dimensionality reduction cannot destroy them.
That's why Zhang Yang wouldn't tell the truth.
He now has a vague plan in his mind. If the arrangement of the dead powerful god still exists in this scam world that has been reduced to the fifth order, as long as he handles it properly, he will be able to obtain the legacy of this powerful god.
Of course, it is definitely not a thorny legacy like my little cousin's, but we should remove the thorns and reap the benefits.
But this matter requires long-term consideration.
Because even if he is a dead god, he is still a god.
The first thing to do right now is to carry out limited cooperation with Chunguicheng. Yes, it is cooperation, not becoming a subordinate of Chunguicheng.
Then the second thing is to figure out whether the mark of the gods on these people belongs to the dead god or a new god.
This is very important. If it is the former, then you can do whatever you want.
If it is the latter, he will probably have to rely on his younger cousin to avenge him.
