Feng Xiaotian was stunned; he was dumbfounded.
I felt incredibly shocked.
At this moment, my understanding has truly been overturned.
"Father, I think I understand! You just said that there will always be one or two ants who will turn over, raise their heads, and look at the sky! These people are undoubtedly extraordinary individuals with exceptional talent and strength! So, Ao Shuang is such a person! She found the Void and saw the true nature of this world!"
Following his father's line of thought, he made a bold guess!
Feng Li nodded. "My son, you've finally come to your senses!"
"Alas! Speaking of which, Ao Shuang is truly unprecedented and unparalleled! She is the strongest ancestral returner in the history of our divine bloodline, worthy of the Human Emperor's bloodline! Even after cultivating for so long, I still can hardly catch up with her!"
"That's right!" Feng Xiaotian had to admit. "After all, she's the only one who could break through the back mountain of the Arbitration Court! Without her, our Divine Blood might not be able to suppress the Ancient Martial Arts even today!"
Decades ago, the arbitration tribunal was corrupted by ancient martial arts and became unfair, arousing public anger. Ao Shuang stormed into the arbitration tribunal alone with her sword, fighting her way in and out seven times.
Finally, the attack came from the back mountain, and Ao Shuang stormed into the back mountain and shaved off half of the entire mountain.
The powerful cultivator inside, who was in seclusion, hadn't even understood what was happening when his lower and upper bodies were suddenly split apart.
The entire arbitration tribunal was decimated!
That's how strong it is!
Since then, Gu Wu has behaved himself, and the arbitration tribunal has also reformed its system, honestly exercising its powers and daring not to violate the law again.
It has been almost thirty years since she went mad and completely disappeared from the world.
Some say she's dead. She died from a qi deviation that caused her body to explode.
Some say she is hiding in some secret place.
According to her father, she found the Ruins of Guixu, which is related to the 2012 catastrophe!
The truth becomes even more elusive.
"Father, how did you know she found the Ruins of Return? And how did you know she was related to the 2012 catastrophe?" Feng Xiaotian couldn't help but ask.
"This matter dates back more than a decade!"
Feng Li revealed a look of reminiscence, "You know, after one's cultivation breaks through to the Saint Realm, it is called the Profound Realm. The Profound Realm is further divided into two types: in the martial arts world, it is the pinnacle of martial arts, and in the cultivation world, it is the terrestrial immortal!"
“I know that. Although I can’t understand the Profound Realm yet, I know that you, Father, have already reached the realm of a terrestrial immortal. This is the limit that mortals can reach. Above that is the legendary Immortal Realm, but since ancient times, no one has been able to ascend to the Immortal Realm. Even those so-called immortals cannot be called immortals!”
Feng Xiaotian looked at his father with admiration.
As a scion of an ancient martial arts family, he naturally doesn't have the concept of idolizing celebrities, but in Feng Xiaotian's eyes, his father is the star he needs to follow and look up to for the rest of his life.
Looking at the ancient martial arts of the South and the divine blood of the North, if Father dares to claim to be number one, then no one dares to claim to be number two!
Feng Li nodded. "What I want to say is that once a cultivator enters the Profound Realm, their five senses become different from those of ordinary people. Although they cannot reach the level of having both heavenly eyes and heavenly ears, they can already perceive some subtle things, including the changes and laws governing the world. We can feel them very deeply!"
"However, as December 2012 approached, I felt an extremely unusual fluctuation. The entire universe was vibrating at a strange frequency, as if the sky were collapsing and the earth were sinking. This was the first time I had felt this way since I entered the Xuan Realm! The whole world was like a pot of boiling water, ready to burst at any moment!"
"So, you felt the end of the world?" Feng Xiaotian asked, looking astonished.
Feng Li nodded. "To prove that my senses were correct, I stepped out of Yandu to seek confirmation from several old friends. Wherever I went, people were the same as always, without the slightest change. Even some Saint Realm experts who resided there showed no reaction. I became more and more convinced that this fluctuation must have come from a higher dimension, which was extremely unusual. Finally, I found those old friends, and they were also filled with fear, as if a great calamity was about to befall them. This proves that our senses were not wrong!"
"Later, the few of us formed a formation together to deduce the source of this strange fluctuation. It turned out to be pointing to the south, so we searched south together, crossing mountains and seas, and finally arrived at Antarctica!"
"Antarctica?" Feng Xiaotian was slightly taken aback. "Isn't that an extremely cold place?"
Feng Li nodded. "That's right, it's Antarctica. When we arrived, almost all the Xuan Realm experts on Earth had arrived! We sensed at the same time that the fluctuations were coming from behind the Antarctic ice wall!"
"Antarctic ice wall?"
Feng Xiaotian murmured, "Isn't there a glacier behind that ice wall?"
Feng Li shook his head. "On the surface, it's a glacier, but when all of us powerful beings tried to cross it, we were blocked by an invisible force! Before this, some people had tried, but no matter how much magic or skill they possessed, they couldn't cross that glacier. Everyone thought it was a forbidden area left behind by the ancient times, related to the immortal realm! It wasn't until her appearance that we realized that it was actually the Ruins of Return! It's a chasm left by the gods to imprison the human race, an insurmountable chasm between the human world and the immortal realm!"
Feng Xiaotian couldn't help but widen his eyes, feeling incredulous.
Because all of this was beyond his comprehension.
Were humans imprisoned by the gods?
This is the first time I've heard of such a claim.
All he knew was that ancient books recorded a great war that took place in ancient times, known as the War of the Gods, which was a chaotic battle among all races.
The battle was so fierce that the heavens and earth shattered, tearing the entire primordial world apart.
Earth is a fragment of what was left after the primordial chaos collapsed.
It's similar to what Feng Li said at this moment, but it also seems different.
What? You don't believe me?
Feng Li sighed, "To be honest, I didn't believe it at first either! I thought becoming an immortal was based on ability, and that humans could also ascend to immortality through cultivation. Later, I realized that humans are ultimately humans, and gods are ultimately gods. Gods don't need to cultivate; they are directly immortals. Cultivating immortality is actually a process of human evolution towards the divine race! In ancient times, humans could achieve immortality through marriage with the gods, through bloodlines! But later, the gods must have seen some drawbacks, and began to be wary of humans, then to reject them, then to loathe them, and finally to cause war! In ancient times, the state of equality among all races gradually evolved into contradictions and conflicts, and then to the great war! All of this is cause and effect, and it is inevitable!"
"Then how did you know all this, Father?" Feng Xiaotian asked, increasingly astonished.
Feng Li gave a wry smile. "These messages were brought back by people who went behind the ice wall, of course!"
Feng Xiaotian suddenly realized, "So, when you arrived at the ice wall, you encountered Senior Ao Shuang??"
