Even for him, there was no possibility of survival in that situation, let alone Murong Ruolan and the others.
Murong Ruolan said thankfully, "When your father and I fell into the dark realm, we happened to collide with two fragments of the ancient painting. Although the ancient painting was shattered, the fragments still had some power, which blocked the invasion of darkness, and we both saved our lives."
"At that time, the four Dao Zuns saw that the situation was not good, and they worked together to activate the half-broken Xuanxiao Divine Sword, scattering endless sword light to protect those who had not yet fallen and sent them back the same way."
"After this trip and back, only a few thousand people were left out of tens of thousands. It's a heavy loss!"
"However, the four Dao Zuns did not return immediately. Instead, they engaged in a shocking battle in the dark realm with the mysterious and powerful being who controlled the ancient painting."
"No one knows the final outcome of that battle, but after the four Dao Zuns returned, they immediately entered seclusion and have not emerged to this day. There are rumors that they were seriously injured, but it is unknown whether this is true or not."
"My senior brother and I were so excited to obtain the fragments of the ancient painting that we didn't dare to announce it to the public and quietly brought it back to the sect."
“The magical object was spiritual and could automatically repair the damaged pieces. The two fragments eventually became two complete ancient paintings.
"We originally thought that the ancient painting could rival the Xuanxiao Divine Sword, so it must be extremely powerful. If it could be fully controlled, its strength would definitely increase dramatically."
"But we didn't expect that after the ancient painting was split into four, its power was completely lost. When we observed the ancient painting, we each comprehended a set of the Four Extremes Heavenly Control Secrets, but we couldn't comprehend anything else."
"As time went by, the ancient painting's divine power dissipated, and it seemed to have become an ordinary object. Only when the fourth-level Heaven Control Secret Technique was used would it make some movement."
"Later, we slowly figured out the Four Extremes Heaven Controlling Secret Method, which could activate the ancient painting and pull out the Xuanxiao Temple. However, the ancient painting was split into four parts, and we only got two, so we couldn't pull the temple out at all."
"My senior brother and I also wanted to find out the whereabouts of the other two fragments, but we were afraid of being exposed and attracting the attention of the four major Taoist sects. After all, we didn't disclose the matter of the ancient painting fragments immediately. If we exposed it so long ago, it would definitely cause huge trouble."
"In the end, we did nothing. We don't know who got the other two fragments of the ancient painting. They probably didn't dare to leak the news, just like us. Of course, there's also the possibility that they're floating in the dark realm..."
Murong Ruolan finished speaking all at once, and seemed a little tired. She slowly closed her eyes and rested.
After hearing this thrilling story, Xian Yutong and the other two fell silent.
Lin Tian also frowned and thought.
Who is the owner of the ancient painting?
Things seem to be getting more and more complicated.
Lin Tiandao: "So, you don't know where the other two fragments of the ancient painting are?"
