"I...I once read a record in some unofficial history book,"
The bookish disciple of the Fuxian Sect stepped forward, his hands trembling slightly, his voice brimming with excitement: "On the day the Xuanyuan Annihilation ended, a rogue cultivator with a damaged Golden Core, who had rushed from outside the city, saw a group of unfamiliar young people in the ruins. They vanished like a mirage in the blink of an eye..."
"He recorded this matter, but always felt that he had misread it," the disciple of the Fuxian Sect paused, looked at Tian Ning and said, "Fellow Daoist Tian, is what you are trying to express what I am thinking?"
Tian Ning nodded.
"Perhaps the Secret Realm of Return has transported us to the real five thousand years ago."
Some people didn't believe it: "How is that possible? That's crazy!"
This idea is simply outrageous.
From the very beginning, they believed that everything in the Return Journey Secret Realm was fake. But now Tian Ning says that this is the real place from five thousand years ago, which has completely overturned everyone's worldview!
"Tianning, what evidence do you have?"
Tian Ning said, "I saw in the annals of future history... a trace that only I can leave behind."
"Stopping the Xuanyuan family and preventing more innocent people from becoming souls under the Floating Life Tree in the future may be the secret realm that sent us here."
"We are the variable in the Xuanyuan Rebellion—"
Xu Jiaojiao said, "But what does that have to do with you telling us to kill them?"
"The culprits are the Xuanyuan clan and the Floating Life Giant Tree. As righteous people, we should be dealing with the wicked, not them!"
“These people are members of the Xuanyuan family with blood,” Tian Ning said bluntly. “Ordinary blood may be nourishment for the Floating Life Giant Tree, but it is far less than the blood of the Xuanyuan family. The so-called Xuanyuan Ancestor created this dungeon, created them, and squeezed all their value out of them.”
The disciples were so shocked they were speechless.
They assumed these women were captured by the Xuanyuan family through dirty means, never imagining that they were born and died here.
Infertile male infants were even thrown to the Floating Life Giant Tree from birth.
"That Ancestor Xuanyuan is not worthy of being called a human being!"
Even tigers don't eat their cubs, yet he used the flesh and blood of his own descendants to pave his own way...
Tian Ning: "Xuanyuan Hengzhi—the ancestor of the Xuanyuan family. According to historical records, his cultivation level has likely reached the Tribulation Transcending stage. He is not someone we can deal with."
Previously, Tianning did not sneak into the forbidden area at night in Xuanyuan Mansion because it was impossible to hide it from the other party.
“But the day of Xuanyuan’s demise is different. Xuanyuan Hengzhi must personally lead his people to hold the ceremony, and he cannot spare the time.”
That's why they only encountered small fry along the way.
Those prominent members of the Xuanyuan clan are currently holding ceremonies on the ground, waiting for the Floating Life Fruit to ripen.
The demand for the Floating Giant Tree is even greater when the fruit is ripe, but farmers would never kill a hen that can still lay eggs because the hen is more valuable. Xuanyuan Hengzhi would also not kill a valuable pregnant woman in the dungeon to support the Floating Giant Tree, so he came up with the ritual.
Those powerful clansmen appeared to be merely performing a ritual, cutting their arms and offering their blood to the Floating Life Tree to thank it for its blessings. In reality, however, their blood, dripping into the soil, was meant to provide the Floating Life Tree with more spiritual energy.
Tianning: "We can seize this opportunity to deal with the Floating Giant Tree."
"How...how are you going to deal with the Floating Life Giant Tree?"
"Have you ever heard of water overflowing when it's full?" Tian Ning gripped his sword and walked towards a woman with empty eyes. The woman was like a puppet, without her own thoughts; she was merely alive, no different from a living dead.
"I'm sorry," Tian Ning said.
The hand rises, the sword falls.
Blood stained the robes of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and the tree roots, attracted by the scent of blood, grew greedily, constantly absorbing it.
"It's very simple."
Everyone: ?
Tianning looked at the disgusting tree root, his eyes cold: "Let it choke to death!"
"..."
