As for Xian Yutong, he had a completely indifferent expression. An old acquaintance of his father's? So what? He wouldn't anger Lin Tian for Murong Ruolan. In this situation, standing aside and watching the fun was the best option.
In just a short moment, Murong Ruolan's face turned ferocious. She seemed to be in great pain, and blood slowly seeped out of her eyebrows, eyes, mouth and nose.
She is almost dead of old age, and her mind is unstable. Once her soul is searched, the pain will be more intense than that of an ordinary person.
"Stop! Stop it now!"
"Whatever you want to know, I'll tell you. I'll tell you everything!"
Murong Ruolan finally panicked.
Although she didn't have much time left, she wanted to live one day at a time and didn't want to die now. Moreover, even if she died, her entire life memory would be read by Lin Tian, making her death completely meaningless.
Everyone has secrets, especially women's embarrassing secrets. If Lin Tian knew about it...
She simply didn't dare to think any further and had to give in.
"If you had said that earlier, nothing would have happened."
Lin Tian slowly withdrew his hand. Actually, according to his temperament, a direct soul search would be much simpler and easier, and he wouldn't have to worry about being deceived. But this woman was from the Beiming family after all, so he didn't want to be too drastic.
Murong Ruolan said with lingering fear, "The ancient paintings were obtained from the Xuanxiao Temple. The four ancient paintings correspond to four sets of secret techniques. By simultaneously performing the secret techniques and activating the ancient paintings, the Xuanxiao Temple can be drawn out of the dark realm..."
Lin Tian interrupted, "Four ancient paintings? Isn't it two?"
Xian Yutong also looked surprised.
Murong Ruolan paused for a moment and continued, "There are four ancient paintings in total, each with a different character. The one in my hand is the one with the character 'Xiao', the one Xian Yuchun got is the one with the character 'Xuan', and the other two are the one with the character 'Shen' and the one with the character 'Dianzi'. Together, they form the Xuanxiao Temple, which corresponds to the four sets of secret techniques of the Four Extremes Controlling the Sky."
Lin Tian hurriedly asked, "Where are the other two ancient paintings?"
Murong Ruolan didn't answer directly. Her eyes wandered as she fell into a state of reminiscence. She finally couldn't help but pour out the secret buried deep in her heart:
"More than 100,000 years ago, the four great Daoist sects once again planned to enter the Xuanxiao Temple to explore the secrets of becoming a god. They also unprecedentedly invited other sects and forces, including the Tianxiang Sect."
"At that time, Senior Brother Xian Yuchun and I were the twin prides of the sect. We were highly regarded by the sect and were able to follow the sect elders to the summit of Cangmang Mountain."
"That day, the four Dao Masters sat in Cangmang Mountain. The leaders of all the major forces who had been invited gathered together. Tens of thousands of the young elites of the Cangmang Ancient Realm gathered together, and an unprecedented grand event began."
"When the auspicious moment arrived, the four great Dao Masters summoned the Xuanxiao Divine Sword, which pierced through the living world and the dark realm. The ten-thousand-foot-long sword light illuminated the endless darkness, forming a divine bridge between heaven and earth, directly connecting to a huge palace radiating endless divine power - the Xuanxiao Divine Temple."
"That magnificent scene was so magnificent that it shook the heavens and earth and moved the gods and ghosts to tears. Anyone who saw it will never forget it!"
Having said this, Murong Ruolan stopped again. Her eyes were shining, and she seemed to be immersed in some kind of mood, a little dazed.
Xuanxiao Divine Sword!
One sword pierces through the real world and the dark realm!
The thousands of feet of sword light formed a divine bridge between heaven and earth, leading directly to the Xuanxiao Temple!
Xian Yutong and the other two couldn't help but feel their blood boiling as they imagined the awe-inspiring scene of the past. It was a pity that they hadn't been able to witness such a stunning spectacle in person, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of regret that they had been born at the wrong time.
Lin Tian's eyes fluctuated slightly, and he couldn't help but feel a little fascinated.
What kind of treasure is that Xuanxiao Sword? It can actually penetrate both the real world and the dark realm. The word "Xuanxiao" in it must be related to the Xuanxiao Temple.
He was about to ask, but Murong Ruolan started talking again:
"The Xuanxiao Divine Sword has transformed into a divine bridge between heaven and earth. The passage is complete and everything is ready."
"The four great Daoists waved their arms and led the crowd forward. They stepped onto the Divine Bridge and, under the cover of sword light, resisted the invasion of darkness and successfully entered the Xuanxiao Divine Temple."
"Just when everyone was about to explore the temple, something unexpected happened."
Lin Tian and the others had been infected by Murong Ruolan's tone and unconsciously fell into the scene at that time. When they heard that something unusual had happened, they couldn't help but feel nervous.
"...Above the temple, a terrifying force suddenly tore a rift in space. An ancient painting slowly emerged, with four gleaming characters, "Xuanxiao Temple," floating above it. The characters landed on the four corners of the temple, then expanded, forming a curtain of light that enveloped the entire temple."
"Then, the light curtain dragged the temple towards the spatial crack, intending to fly away from the dark realm!"
"The Four Great Dao Masters naturally couldn't sit idly by and watch. They immediately activated the Xuanxiao Divine Sword and launched its strongest attack, slashing fiercely at the ancient painting!"
"As the two touched, the sky collapsed and the earth split. The ancient painting was instantly torn apart, breaking into four fragments that scattered in all directions. The Xuanxiao Divine Sword also broke in the middle, with one half falling into the dark realm, and the other half was recovered by the four Dao Masters."
"The shockwaves generated by the collision of the two great treasures were extremely terrifying. The tens of thousands of people in the temple, except for the four Dao Zuns, were all blown away and fell directly into the dark realm."
"The darkness invades with an incomparable terror. Anyone who touches it will die, even those in the Chaos Realm. Those who fall into the dark realm are reduced to ashes one after another..."
When Murong Ruolan said this, an expression of extreme fear appeared on her face. Obviously, that terrible scene had left an indelible psychological shadow in her heart.
"Then how did you and my father survive?"
Xian Yutong couldn't help but ask. He had already opened up his own small universe and was able to access the dark realm. Naturally, he understood how terrifying the invasion of darkness was.
