Chapter 408: Eat the food of hundreds of immortals and master the methods of hundreds of immortals
As the inherited memory came to an end, Lu Chen found himself back in the main hall of the mysterious Heavenly Palace.
Although he only watched a clip from the ancient times, Lu Chen inexplicably felt like he had traveled through the vast sea of Sanghai Cangtian.
"Are you awake?"
Lu Chen opened his eyes and saw a little white-haired girl sitting on the coffin in the middle, looking at him curiously.
Although this little girl has no cultivation at all.
But Lu Chen's sixth sense reminded him that this little girl was very dangerous.
If I must make a comparison, it would be this seemingly ordinary little girl in front of me.
Its level of danger is even higher than that of Hua Ling, who is half a step away from becoming a mortal immortal.
"Who are you?"
After hearing Lu Chen's question, the little girl tilted her head and thought for a moment, then pointed at the Changsheng Sword in front of Lu Chen.
"That's my sword."
As she spoke, the little girl jumped down from the coffin and walked in front of Lu Chen.
As Lu Chen couldn't help laughing, the little girl wanted to jump up several times and grab the sword of immortality floating in front of Lu Chen.
However, not only was she not tall enough, but the sword of immortality also seemed not to want to be grasped by the little girl.
Every time the little girl jumped up, the sword of immortality would deliberately fly a little higher so that the little girl could not catch it.
After trying several times to catch the sword of immortality and failing, the little girl became a little angry.
She pointed at the Changsheng Sword above her head, glared and said, "No, get down here!"
As if to provoke the little girl, the sword of immortality not only did not come down, but flew higher.
The sword body continued to vibrate, making a crisp sword sound.
The sound of the sword sounded louder than any ridicule in the world to the little girl's ears.
Seeing that she seemed to have no way to get the sword of immortality, the little girl rolled her eyes and looked at Lu Chen.
"Big brother, can you help me catch this guy? I can't reach it."
Hearing this, Lu Chen was silent for a moment, then asked, "How about you answer a few questions for me first, and then I'll help you take it off?"
The little girl tilted her head and thought for a while, then said, "Let me make it clear first, I may not be able to answer all your questions. After all, there are many things that even I don't understand."
"And after you've asked your questions, you must catch this guy and hand him over to me!"
Lu Chen smiled and nodded, indicating that there was no problem.
"Okay, then ask."
"First, tell me who you are and why you are here."
"After all, I haven't seen anyone else except you on this journey."
Hearing Lu Chen's question, the little girl said without hesitation: "My name is Jiuyao, this is my home, of course I am here."
"As for you saying there's no one else here, big brother, what you said is not true. Don't you see so many uncles and aunts behind us?"
The little girl said this while pointing to the densely packed memorial tablets at the back.
It looked so serious, as if there were really a lot of people in that direction.
But no matter how Lu Chen looks at it or what means he uses.
Apart from a large number of spirit tablets, he could see nothing else.
If he were to start from reality, Lu Chen would think that these words were just a joke from the little girl, or that she was deceiving him.
But for some reason, Lu Chen always felt that the little girl's seemingly irrelevant words contained other profound meanings.
If you can’t see it yourself, it may not be because those people don’t exist.
It’s just that I don’t have the conditions to see them.
Perhaps... at this moment, at the locations of those spirit tablets, there really are a large number of 'immortal spirits' that we cannot see.
Based on the principle of "it is better to believe it than not to believe it".
Lu Chen did not insist on this topic, but asked some other questions.
"Do you remember how long you have lived here?"
The little girl named Jiuyao frowned and thought for a while, then lowered her head and started counting on her fingers.
But as she tried harder, she found that her fingers were not enough.
Finally, the little girl gave up and said confidently, "I don't know!"
“…”
Just when Lu Chen thought this was Jiuyao's answer.
Although Jiuyao was empty all around, he seemed to see someone coming next to him.
Not only did he turn his head to look somewhere beside him, but he also showed an expression of realization.
Then she looked at Lu Chen again, stretched out a chubby hand, and said confidently: "Five hundred years. I have been awake for almost five hundred years."
Five hundred years...
Facing Jiuyao's answer, Lu Chen frowned instantly.
Because after he heard Jiuyao's name and saw that she was the only one here.
I thought the person giving orders to the outside world was this seemingly innocent little girl.
But if she didn't lie.
She has only been awake for five hundred years, which is completely inconsistent with the thousands of years of history of Jiuyao Tiandu.
unless……
"Then let me ask it another way. Are you awake all the time, or do you wake up once in a while?"
"suspect?!"
Jiuyao looked at Lu Chen in surprise, as if wondering about something.
"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with this?"
Jiuyao thought for a moment and replied, "Not really, it's just that an older sister asked the same question as you."
This answer was beyond Lu Chen's expectations.
Because this means that before him, there were people who entered the sanctuary in their true bodies in a similar way as he did and came to this hall located in the core area of the sanctuary.
With some curiosity, Lu Chen asked: "Can you tell me who that big sister is?"
Jiuyao turned his head again and looked towards an open space, his mouth opening and closing as if he was asking someone something.
But to Lu Chen, it seemed like she was talking to the air.
But Jiuyao's appearance doesn't seem like he's pretending.
And the most important thing is that Lu Chen couldn't hear what Jiuyao said.
It was as if she and he were not in the same space at this moment.
This undoubtedly proves one thing from the side.
That is in this seemingly empty hall.
It seems that there really are some "people" that Lu Chen cannot sense or detect.
It's even possible that they aren't human...
Lu Chen had a feeling that perhaps those people were the key to this sanctuary.
It's just that he lacks some necessary conditions now, which prevents him from seeing those people.
The little girl Jiuyao, who had been asking from a distance for a long time, seemed to have got the answer at this time.
Looking back at Lu Chen, he replied, "I don't know what the big sister's name is, but the aunts said she was from the Biyou Palace. I don't know anything else."
“Is that so…”
Lu Chen nodded, then suddenly spoke.
“You just said there are many uncles and aunts behind you. Can you tell me about them?”
This time Jiuyao's answer was very quick.
"No, my uncles and aunts said that I can't tell you about their existence, not even their names."
"As for the reason, I don't know, but that's what they said."
Although Lu Chen was somewhat disappointed with this answer, it was also within his expectations.
After all, if those beings want to be seen by themselves.
Even if I don't meet the requirements, I think they will find a way to do it.
But I still can't sense their existence.
This can only mean one thing, that is, the other party does not want to, or cannot, be seen by you.
This may not just be their subjective thoughts, but there are reasons why they have to do so.
Knowing this clearly, Lu Chen would not be so tactless as to keep dwelling on this issue.
After all, sometimes knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing.
"In that case, then you should tell me whether you have been here since you woke up, or whether you fell asleep and woke up again in between."
Jiuyao seemed to have heard a joke and started laughing while covering his mouth.
This smile made Lu Chen feel very strange.
Especially the way Jiuyao looked at him, as if he was looking at a fool.
"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with what I said?"
Lu Chen didn't understand.
"Kuku, big brother, you are so stupid. Is there anyone in this world who doesn't sleep? I'm definitely not awake all the time!"
Lu Chen didn't care about Jiuyao's ridicule.
After all, Lu Chen has discovered it now.
Jiuyao, who stays in the sanctuary hall all year round, seems to have no knowledge of many things.
Her answer made Lu Chen certain of some things.
But just to be on the safe side, Lu Chen continued to ask: "Whenever you wake up, do you wake up by yourself, or do other uncles and aunts wake you up?"
"And if it was your uncles and aunts who woke you up, did they ask you to help them with something?"
As soon as these words came out, Jiuyao was immediately surprised and asked: "How did you know???"
really……
After getting this answer, Lu Chen already had a relatively complete concept of the so-called sanctuary.
First of all, there are indeed people in the sanctuary, or rather, there are immortals.
It’s just that these immortals are not the same as the immortals that Lu Chen and other people know.
Due to some special reasons, they are not only unable to leave the sanctuary, but also unable to directly interfere with the outside world.
On this basis, they must entrust Jiuyao to do some things.
For example, through the Jiuyao, orders can be given to the entire sky.
In a sense, Jiuyao is just an agent of these mysterious immortals.
And if all this is true.
The origin of the Nine Stars might be far beyond his imagination.
After all, not everyone can communicate and live with a group of immortals without any obstacles or burdens.
When Jiuyao was asking and answering Lu Chen's mysterious questions, he hardly hesitated or paused.
This means that the immortals around Lu Chen, who could not be sensed by him at this time, did not mind Lu Chen knowing these things.
It is even possible that these were intentional results.
They just wanted Lu Chen to know their existence in this way.
Lu Chen couldn't say for sure what the specific reason was.
But these are not that important to him now, so there is no need to delve into them.
Right now, he is actually only concerned about one thing.
That's what the Sanctuary had let him in here for.
But before that, he still had a few questions he wanted answered.
"Can you tell me what the relationship is between the coffin in the Great Wilderness Tower outside and the coffin here?"
"Also, why did your sword leave here and end up in the Great Desolate Tower?"
When it comes to this, Jiuyao seems to have thought of something annoying.
She pouted and said viciously: "That's because I was deceived!"
"Were you cheated?"
Jiuyao nodded heavily, and then said: "I can't remember the exact day, I just remember that I woke up one time and there were a lot of strange guys outside, making a lot of noise and being very annoying."
"You know, this is my home. Those rude guys actually wanted to break in without my permission. Am I a good-tempered person? Of course not!"
"I took Xiaobai and other uncles and aunts and chopped those guys into pieces and gave them a good lesson!"
When he said this, the little guy subconsciously raised his head with a proud look on his face.
It seems like my immortal uncles and aunts and I are really awesome.
But if Lu Chen were to judge for himself.
The real situation should be that a group of ancient people have awakened again.
The little girl was awakened by this force, and then she borrowed the power of other immortals to suppress these awakened ancient monsters.
Lu Chen felt that this might be the real reality.
But the little girl's pride didn't last long. She gritted her teeth and talked about the person who lied to her.
"It's not difficult to deal with those ugly things, because it's not the first time that my uncles and aunts and I have done this."
"But this time, before I could go back to sleep, a guy wearing a strange mask came in."
"What's even stranger is that he seems to know some uncles and aunts."
"I don't know what he said to the uncles and aunts. I only know that the guy came to me later and told me that he wanted to borrow Xiaobai and would return it to me soon."
"But he lied to me!"
"Because after so many years, he never came back!"
"As for the coffin outside that you mentioned, I really don't know what the coffin outside is. Maybe after that guy went back, he saw that my coffin was pretty good, so he made one for himself, and then followed my example and lay down in it to sleep?"
"Wait, you're not the guy in the mask, are you?"
“…”
Looking at Jiuyao who looked suspicious, Lu Chen shook his head.
Indicates that he doesn't know who the guy wearing the mask she is talking about is.
And Jiuyao also seemed to think that Lu Chen was not him.
After all, although she didn't see the appearance of the big liar clearly at that time, that guy could see other uncles and aunts.
But Lu Chen couldn't see it.
This means that Lu Chen should not be him.
And looking at Lu Chen who was lost in thought, and the Sword of Immortality floating behind Lu Chen.
Jiuyao seemed to be getting a little impatient waiting, and pouted his lips and said, "Big brother, haven't you finished asking questions yet?"
"After you ask, help me catch Xiaobai. I won't let it get away again this time, no matter what you say."
Jiuyao's words brought Lu Chen back to reality.
He looked at Jiuyao, and then at the Changsheng Sword behind him.
After thinking for a moment, he reached out his hand.
Just when Lu Chen was about to grasp the sword of immortality, the sword suddenly made a gorgeous turn.
He dodged Lu Chen's hand.
It was obvious that this guy didn't seem to want to return to Jiuyao again.
Facing this scene, Lu Chen said helplessly: "I... can't seem to catch it either."
After hearing Lu Chen's answer, Jiuyao's face was filled with shock, as if the sky had fallen.
Then, in the face of Lu Chen's astonishment, Jiuyao sat down on the ground and started crying.
"Wow!!!"
Looking at Jiuyao crying loudly, the atmosphere in the hall was very awkward for a moment.
Lu Chen could even feel that the Changsheng Sword above his head, which had been so proud of itself, now seemed to be at a loss.
The most intuitive point is that the Changsheng Sword, which was originally flying around, actually fell down slowly by itself.
It seems that he wants to see Jiuyao's situation.
But just after the Sword of Immortality fell a certain distance.
A pair of small hands suddenly stretched out.
However, the Changsheng Sword seemed to have predicted all this and flew away again, avoiding the fatal blow.
And the guy who launched the sneak attack was none other than Jiuyao!
