Shen Xuzi?
Well, thatās quite a distinctive name!
"Thank you, Elder Shen Xuzi." Chen Changāan bowed.
Then, under Shen Xuziās indulgence, Chen Changāan spent two days emptying the space of all the Great Dao flowers.
He also took with him the Saint Medicines which Shen Xuzi pointed out.
Saint Medicine, the extremely precious medicine that only cultivators above the eighth realm could use.
Itās pricey, to say the least. Even a single plant could fetch over a hundred thousand Dao Source Stones in the outside world.
Quite a bit of a hefty price.
And there were many Saint Medicines here, well over a hundred plants.
If they were to be sold, more than ten million Dao Source Stones could be earned!
Such a huge harvest could almost burst Chen Changāan with joy.
During these two days, Chen Changāan also came to understand what kind of person Shen Xuzi is.
Simply put, a lonely old man!
He was born here, and due to reckless deforestation, he was trapped in this space a long, long time ago,
and was bound by an invisible rule, unable to leave.
As for how long itās been,
itās been so long that Shen Xuzi himself can no longer remember.
He only remembers that the Great Dao flowers he brought here have regenerated time and time again.
By now, they have filled a large part of the medicine garden.
Five colors, seven colors, competing for radiance.
One color, three colors, competing for growth.
And the seed of the divine medicine that used to be with him, has now grown into a mature 10-realm Divine Medicine.
Having lived through countless years, Shen Xuzi has seen it all.
For him, meeting a living being before his death,
is already the greatest blessing.
"Elder Shen Xuzi, have you never thought about leaving?"
Chen Changāan asked.
"With your strength,
if you wanted to leave, there should be no one capable of stopping you, right?"
Shen Xuzi shook his head and said,
"Boy, you donāt understand."
As he spoke, Shen Xuzi extended his hand, casually launching an attack towards the sky.
Hum~!
The next moment, Chen Changāan was surprised to find that the luminary energy sent out by Shen Xuzi had completely dissolved into the void.
As if it had fallen into another time and space.
After demonstrating this, as if to dispel Chen Changāanās doubt,
Shen Xuzi tried a few more directions, continuing to send out luminary energy.
Without exception, all the energy he emitted was dissolved.
"Young friend, as you can see, this is the problem," he said.
Seeing this scene, Chen Changāan fell into deep thought.
Shen Xuzi seemed to be telling the truth; he really couldnāt leave.
Seeing Chen Changāan deep in thought, Shen Xuzi waved his hand and laughed it off, saying,
"Thereās no need to worry about an old man like me."
"As for lifeās pleasures and struggles,
although I canāt leave this place, it has allowed me to live throughout endless years."
"Whether this is a loss or a gain, I am not quite sure."
Hearing this, Chen Changāan was taken aback, then he bowed and said,
"Elder, I admire your free and easy spirit."
He really did admire him.
Although Chen Changāan was not a loner in his previous life, he had some understanding of people who were.
But the reason those folks could stay at home for so long was that they had networks,
and their hard drives were filled with countless gigabytes of study materials!
But Shen Xuziās situation was terrifying.
He had nothing at all; everything was achieved through self-hypnosis!
However, his self-hypnosis was impressive.
He even hypnosed himself into illness.
Admiration!
Shen Xuzi appeared to appreciate Chen Changāanās compliment, nodding slowly.
He looked into the distance with a sigh and asked,
"Boy, do you know how this place came to be?"
Chen Changāan shook his head.
This space was neither real nor illusionary, beyond the Five Elements.
The spiritual energy within was extremely strong, strong enough to accomodate the growth of more than one hundred Saint Medicines.
Frankly, despite possessing a mass of data,
Chen Changāan didnāt know how this strange place came to be.
Chen Changāan asked, "Elder Shen Xuzi, could there be some hidden secret?"
"Hmm."
Shen Xuzi stroked his beard, something he seemed to enjoy doing.
"Since you want to know, this old man will tell you."
"This was when I was first born."
"At that time, countless races coexisted, gods and demons roamed freely, and the world had not yet decayed as it is now,
"At its peak, six ancient gods and demons stood in the same starry sky."
"The Heavenly Emperor!"
"The Earth Emperor!"
"The Spirit Emperor!"
"The Thunder Emperor!"
"The Green Emperor!"
"The Star Emperor!"
"....."
Shen Xuzi spoke seriously,
Starting from the origin of the six ancient gods and demons, he told the entire story of their downfall.
Chen Changāan listened intently.
About the legends of the Heavenly Emperor and other six ancient gods and demons, Chen Changāan had read some in a book called "Taiyi Record."
That was a tale from the Mythical Era!
But it was just a superficial account,
For more detailed information, there was none.
After the downfall of the six primeval gods and demons, Heavenly Fate suddenly became unowned.
Then a group of hidden false gods acted.
They stole the Heavenly Fate, becoming the ancient gods and demons.
However, even though they became ancient gods,
they soon discovered that the rules of this world had changed.
The matter of immortality was looted in the great terror.
Even though they became ancient gods, they lost the Daoism Law.
They were suppressed by the Great Dao. Under this suppression, their own Dao suffered a strict limitation.
With their Dao suppressed, they no longer had an endless life span.
Therefore, to cope with this suppression,
