Chapter 370 The Curse of the Red Flame Clan
The Lihuo Clan Patriarch quickly arrived at the foot of the tower. Outside the tower, there were many cultivators from the Red Clan and the Jade Clan looking for inheritance. When they saw the Lihuo Clan Patriarch suddenly appear, they all looked at each other and talked a lot.
"This is... one of your people? How come I've never seen him before?"
A young genius from the Yu family who was cultivating the Great Way of Fire looked at a friend from the Red Clan standing beside him and asked.
The Red Tribe monk shook his head in bewilderment: "I have lived in the Red Tribe for so long, and I have never seen this person before."
"Ah? Could it be that this is an old monster from your clan who has been secluded in seclusion? This aura is completely undetectable. It should be very strong, right?" The genius of the Yu family said in surprise.
"Maybe?" The Red Clan cultivator asked in confusion.
Such conversations exist in every area under the tower.
Just as the Red Clan and Jade Family cultivators were discussing, a faint red light flashed at the top of the tower and a shadow emerged.
After seeing the phantom, all the cultivators from the Red Clan and the Jade Family showed respectful expressions.
"It's Senior Canying!"
"Senior Canying actually came out? Could it be because of this old man from the Red Clan?"
“…”
The Lihuo Sect's ancestor and the red shadow didn't pay attention to the discussions below.
When the Lihuo Sect's ancestor saw the red shadow, his body shook and his eyes immediately became moist. His wrinkled face trembled and his voice was hoarse: "Immortal Ancestor...is it really you?!"
As he spoke, the Lihuo Sect's ancestor knelt down in mid-air and said respectfully: "I am the unworthy descendant of the Chiyan Clan, honored to meet the Immortal Ancestor!"
The Immortal King Shadow saw that the Lihuo Sect's ancestor was also filled with emotion. He sighed and said, "Get up. There are so many young people here. Don't make a fool of yourself."
The ancestor of the Lihuo Sect stood up with an excited expression.
The Immortal King's phantom glanced at the Lihuo Sect's ancestor, then looked at Lu Yi and the others who had just flown over from behind. He smiled gratefully at Lu Yi and said, "My dear friend Lu Yi, I didn't expect that you actually found my people. Thank you very much."
Lu Yi smiled slightly: "Senior, you are too polite. You have passed on such a precious Immortal King technique to me, which is a great favor. What is this little errand worth?"
After seeing the phantom of the Immortal King, the ancestor of the Lihuo Sect nearby confirmed that what Lu Yi said before was true, and his attitude towards Lu Yi immediately became much better.
He was quite grateful and said, "Little friend Lu is not just a runner. If it weren't for Little friend Lu taking the trouble to find me, I would never have known that the Immortal Ancestor actually left traces in this universe! Here, I have to thank you very much."
As he spoke, the ancestor of the Lihuo Sect bowed deeply to Lu Yi.
Lu Yi quickly stopped him: "Why do you have to perform such a great ceremony, Senior?"
The Lihuo Sect's ancestor refused to listen and said seriously, "Being able to meet the Immortal Ancestor in my lifetime makes me feel that my life is not lived in vain. It is also of great significance to our Chiyan Clan. You should accept this gift!"
Seeing the Lihuo Sect's ancestor's reaction, Lu Yi stopped trying to dissuade him.
After the ceremony, the red shadow beside him said, "Let's go into the tower. I want to know the current situation of the Red Flame Clan."
The ancestor of the Lihuo Sect nodded repeatedly.
Lu Yi followed the two of them and entered the tower, and once again came to the vast space where he first entered.
The red shadow asked the group to sit down at the table, and then looked at the Lihuo Sect's ancestor: "Tell me, how is the Chiyan clan doing now?"
Upon hearing this, the Lihuo Sect Patriarch had a rather bitter expression on his face. He said in a somewhat dry voice, "Replying to Immortal Ancestor, the Chiyan Clan is now...almost extinct."
Hearing this, the red shadow's figure wavered for a moment, but soon calmed down.
He sighed slightly and said, "To be honest, the fact that you have been able to continue until now after I was gone has already exceeded my expectations... Tell me, why are you almost extinct?"
The Lihuo Sect Patriarch said with a strange expression: "I don't know the specific situation. I was not born when the Chiyan Clan declined. I only heard about it from my elders when I was young. After the Immortal Ancestor entered the Nine Netherworld, our Chiyan Clan relied on the Immortal Ancestor's influence and the clan's heritage to remain the top force in the entire universe. This lasted for many years. And after the Immortal Ancestor and the Immortal Kings and Emperors entered the Nine Netherworld, the invasion of the Nine Netherworld was also blocked. I heard from the elders that that period of time was the most stable time in the entire universe."
The Lihuo Sect's ancestor paused, his expression fluctuated, and he continued, "But later, the situation changed. Jiuyou seemed to have undergone an abnormal change, and even a large number of Jiuyou evil demons came from the Jiuyou world to our universe, while the immortal ancestors and other immortal kings and emperors who entered Jiuyou did not come back. This caused the universe, which had been stable for some time, to fall into turmoil again, and this time, because of the absence of you, the immortal ancestors, facing the powerful Jiuyou evil demons, the major forces in the universe became more chaotic. During this period, our Chiyan clan also suffered heavy losses. In addition, other forces that were eyeing the various resources and immortal king techniques controlled by our Chiyan clan also took advantage of the fire during these days. This was the darkest period for our Chiyan clan."
Hearing this, the pale red shadow beside him frowned, with a serious expression.
Lu Yi and Liu Ningshuang standing by also frowned slightly.
The Immortal King went to Jiuyou and risked his life to resist the Jiuyou evil demon. The surrounding environment was still so chaotic. He didn't expect that there would be a force that would attack the Chiyan clan at this time.
But it’s normal, after all, the Chiyan clan’s piece of cake is too big.
"During this period, our Chiyan clan lost a lot of martial arts books and various inheritances, and many people died. I heard from the elders that all forces in the entire universe suffered heavy casualties at that time. It was almost impossible to resist the Nine Nether Demon. But one day, the Nine Nether Demon suddenly returned to the Nine Nether World and never appeared again. And those Nine Nether Passages also underwent various changes. The space cracks were filled, and the universe seemed to have returned to normal, but..."
The ancestor of the Lihuo Sect glanced at the pale red shadow with a complicated expression.
The red shadow said calmly, "It's just that I and other Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors haven't returned from the Nine Netherworld?"
The ancestor of the Lihuo Sect nodded: "Yes."
The reddish shadow just nodded slightly: "What happened next? If it was a normal situation, after the Nine Nether Demons retreated, even if the Red Flame Clan suffered heavy losses and lost their heritage, as long as they still had their foundation and kept a low profile for a while, they should be able to recover. What happened next?"
The expression of the Lihuo Sect Patriarch became more and more strange at this time. He said: "I am not too sure, and even... the elders are not too sure either."
"What do you mean?" The red shadow and Lu Yi and the others couldn't help but frown.
The Lihuo Sect's ancestor recalled and said, "When I was young, an elder once said that our Chiyan clan seemed to be cursed. The chance of a genius appearing in each generation is not as good as before. Because you, the Immortal Ancestor, broke through the Immortal King realm and sublimated our clan's bloodline, the weakest of our clan was born in the pseudo-immortal realm. However, after the Nine Nether Demons retreated and the Nine Nether Channel was closed, our clan even gave birth to mortals."
This made the pale red shadow look a little stunned: "How is it possible?! How could a mortal be born from a sublimated bloodline?"
Even Lu Yi was a little confused.
According to what the Lihuo Sect's ancestor said before, after breaking through to the Immortal King level, their bloodline should have been sublimated and their talents should have been greatly improved. How come they became weaker?
"Yes, so we can't understand. The speculation passed down by the elders is that our clan is cursed. It may also be because you are no longer here. Our bloodline was born because of you. When you are gone, our bloodline will naturally return to its original state. However..." The expression of the Lihuo Sect's ancestor was gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said, "However, not only has the bloodline become weaker, the probability of our clan's newborns being born is also much lower than before, resulting in a decreasing number of people in the entire clan."
After hearing this, Lu Yi more or less understood.
The weakening of a group's talents is not the most fatal thing. When the birth rate decreases, the number of people will probably become smaller and smaller from generation to generation.
If it is just a stable situation, it may not be a problem for everyone to have more children to continue the clan.
However, in the universe, there are too many dangers and unexpected situations, and it is impossible to maintain stability for long.
With the number of people decreasing, any major change will cause irreparable huge losses to the entire ethnic group.
Not only Lu Yi understood, but the light red shadow also understood. His expression was a little complicated for a moment.
Lu Yi could more or less understand the feelings of the pale red shadow.
If this curse was brought about by the death of the Red Flame Immortal King, then it can be said that the Red Flame Immortal King brought the Red Flame Clan to the peak, but also dragged the Red Flame Clan into hell.
The atmosphere was silent for a moment, even Liu Ningshuang and the others had serious expressions and did not speak.
After a moment of silence, the red shadow suddenly thought of something and asked, "What about the other Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors? Have their tribes been cursed?"
The Lihuo Sect's ancestor nodded quickly and said, "Yes, there are Immortal Kings who are closer to us, including the Immortal King of Destiny. They have also encountered a curse. When they practice, they always encounter inner demons, and they may even be transformed into demons on the spot because of their inner demons. While we were still struggling to hold on, the Immortal King of Destiny's clansmen were almost extinct, and the remaining people did not dare to practice, and could only be mortals."
"The Immortal King of Destiny..." Lu Yi's pupils shrank and he was a little surprised.
He never expected that he would hear news about the Immortal King of Destiny here again, and it was so tragic.
It would have been fine if the Immortal King of Destiny had not returned, but his people were even more miserable. The curse they suffered was much more severe than that of the Chiyan clan.
The inner demon is an extremely dangerous existence for any cultivator. It is okay for cultivators with strong wills, but for ordinary cultivators, the inner demon can easily take advantage of the situation and turn the cultivator into a demon. What's even worse is that the inner demon can directly shatter the cultivator's soul, which means there is no way out and complete death.
As long as you practice, you will easily encounter inner demons. Who can withstand this? Unless you have a foundation like Lu Yi, even the inner demons can do nothing to him. Normal cultivators, who can face the inner demons and practice normally? But why is the curse of the Fate Immortal King clan so much more exaggerated than that of the Red Flame clan? Isn't this too outrageous? Lu Yi suddenly thought of the ruins of the abyss. I wonder if it is the dojo of the Fate Immortal King, and whether there are any classics left by the Fate clan.
If so, then perhaps we can understand some of the situations of the Fate Clan after they were cursed, or we can more or less see some clues? Hearing the words of the Lihuo Sect's ancestor, the phantom of the Red Flame Immortal King became even more silent.
His expression was solemn: "The Fate Immortal King clan is like this... What about the other Immortal King and Immortal Emperor clans?"
The ancestor of the Lihuo Sect thought for a moment and said, "When I was young, I heard from my elders that it seemed that all the tribes left by the Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors were cursed to varying degrees. This is why some of the ancestors' missions were caused by your death. I'm afraid that the Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors who entered the Nine Netherworld have all died, and their bloodlines are like this... By the way, some ancestors believe that it may be the result of changes in the Nine Netherworld, the tricks of the Nine Netherworld demons. After all, only the descendants of the Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors who entered the Nine Netherworld have experienced such changes, but other tribes have not. This may be the curse of the Nine Netherworld. I quite agree with this idea."
The red shadow frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said: "Perhaps it has something to do with the Nine Netherworld."
Lu Yi also nodded slightly.
He also felt that this possibility was the greatest. After all, if the clans left behind by the Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors who entered the Nine Netherworld were all cursed, then it would be unlikely for them to break away from the Nine Netherworld world.
Lu Yi just couldn't understand, if the entire universe had been restored, how did the Nine Netherworld do it? How could it so accurately curse all the descendants of the Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors who entered the Nine Netherworld?
This is fucking... Doesn't it mean that I will not only destroy you, but also your descendants?
Lu Yi recalled the curse spoken by the ancestor of the Lihuo Sect, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
This is too cruel.
Apart from this, there are a few other things that Lu Yi cannot understand.
According to the Lihuo Sect's ancestor, after the Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors entered the Nine Netherworld, the universe was stable for a while, and the Nine Netherworld Demons did not continue to invade. So it seems that the Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors should have stopped the Nine Netherworld Demons during that period, right? But later, the Nine Netherworld Demons suddenly rushed out of the Nine Netherworld again. Does this mean that the Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors were no longer able to do anything? After the Nine Netherworld Demons entered the universe, if there were no Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors to resist them, the universe at that time should not have been able to stop them, right? The Lihuo Sect's ancestor also said that the situation was very bad at that time.
But why did the Nine Nether Demon suddenly return? Not only that, even the Nine Nether Passage was restored.
Lu Yi's eyes flickered, somewhat unable to understand.
What happened in the Nine Netherworld back then? Did the Immortal King and the Immortal Emperor have an explosion of their microcosms and did something that forced the Nine Netherworld demons to go back and seal off all the passages?
If this is true, then this incident is likely to cause great harm to the Nine Netherworld. I just don't know what those Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors have done. In addition, Lu Yi has another idea.
