Ye Fan thought for a moment and said honestly, “This, I did investigate before.”
“According to what Chu Sect’s men said, Chu Yuan’s purpose in attacking the world in the first place seemed to be to find the Dragon Sect.”
“Chu Yuan said that behind the Dragon Gate, there is the power to become an immortal.”
“That’s right, Great Grandmother. That so-called Dragon Gate, what exactly is it?”
“Does a mortal thing really contain the power to become an immortal?”
“Also, great-grandmother, I remember that you said before that Chu Yuan was dead. Then who was the person who fought with me before?”
Ye Fan asked with some curiosity.
Ye Fan felt that he, himself, was already considered to be standing at the top.
At one time, he had thought that the higher one stood, the further one could see, and the less confusion there would be in one’s heart.
However, he found that he was wrong.
Whenever he reached a new height, he always encountered more questions that confused him.
Just like the current Ye Fan, he only felt that many of the things he encountered could not be explained with his known knowledge.
Whether it was the mystery of Chu Yuan’s identity, or the mystery of his father’s whereabouts, or the mystery of Wan’er’s origins in the divine mountain of the Indian Kingdom.
In this world, there were really too many wonders.
The more I came into contact with it, the more I felt small and ignorant.
“What?”
“Could it be that you also want to seek the path to immortality?”
Hearing Ye Fan’s question, Grandma Tai turned her head to look at Ye Fan, and in her old eyes, there was some expectation.
Ye Fan shook his head, “Grandma Tai, I was just asking.”
“The path to immortality is so ethereal, how dare we mere mortals covet it?”
“What’s more, I don’t want to become an immortal.”
It is.
Ye Fan’s words were the truth.
He did not have any obsessive thoughts about becoming an immortal.
All his relatives were on earth.
If he were to become an immortal and ascend to the immortal realm, he would still be a loner.
What would be the meaning of life if he did not have his loved ones by his side?
It is like an emperor, standing alone on the throne where he belongs.
As far as the eye can see, all is solitude.
What Ye Fan wanted most right now was to cure An Qi, and then he would go in search of Qiu Mu Orange.
“Okay.”
“You, kid, don’t have too much ambition for power.”
“I do hope, however, that you have that in mind.”
“Ever since your ancestor Yun Yang, my Chu Family’s heritage has not produced another immortal since then.”
“The power of the Chu Family’s bloodline has grown thinner and thinner.”
“If you can become an immortal, then the talent of my Chu Family’s descendants will once again be purified.”
“The Chu Family, once again, will be able to renew its glory for another thousand years.”
“Of course, since you don’t have that in mind, that’s just as well.”
“The path of cultivation is supposed to follow one’s heart.”
“If you don’t want to do it, but force yourself to do it. Even if you are gifted, I am afraid that you will not be able to break through the red dust and become an immortal.”
Grandma Tai shook her head and said, not continuing to talk about this topic with Ye Fan.
After all, everyone had their own aspirations.
Although Grandma Tai hoped that Ye Fan could go farther on the path of cultivation, like the Great Emperor Yunyang did back then, and set a great ambition.
However, there were some things that could not be forced after all.
“It seems that this Earth’s danger can only wait for others to solve it.” Grandma Tai spoke quietly.
Ye Fan was undoubtedly more curious: “Grandma Tai, what do you mean by that?”
Grandma Tai stood up and walked slowly around the courtyard.
“Since you want to know, there is no harm for me to tell you.”
“But first, I’ll tell you a story.”
“A thousand years ago, the Earth was invaded by extra-terrestrial beings.”
“That extra-terrestrial creature was extremely powerful, and instead devoured the essence of Earth’s life to complete its evolutionary growth.”
“Among the ancient books of my Chu Family, this creature is called the foreign devil.”
“This foreign devil is not only powerful, but through some means, it has planted a “soul mark” on humans, turning them into its puppets and controlling them at will.”
“At that time, the top ten Sealed Masters of the Heavenly Ranking were all puppets of the foreign devil, like marionettes, and under the control of the foreign devil, they captured human genius martial artists to be devoured and evolved by the foreign devil.”
…..
The great grandmother narrated in a low voice, her deep words as if she had travelled through the floods and the ages.
As Ye Fan listened, it was as if his own vision had followed him back to the battle of the holocaust a thousand years ago.
In his heart, he was undoubtedly shocked as well.
“This… This…”
“The top ten of the Heavenly Ranking, all… All have become puppets of the foreign devils.”
“This foreign devil, it’s too terrifying… ”
Ye Fan lost his voice and sighed.
This situation was so desperate for him to hear.
One should know that the top ten of the Heavenly Ranking represented the highest battle power of humanity.
And now, these powerful people, who should have represented the ceiling of human battle power, were being enslaved, with their blades turned inwards against humanity.
This catastrophe, Ye Fan felt desperate even thinking about it!
“What happened afterwards?”
“Did that foreign devil succeed in evolving?”
Ye Fan asked anxiously.
Grandma Tai did not answer in a hurry, but continued to tell the story in a gradual manner.
“That period can be said to be the darkest period for humanity.”
“All of the Earth’s top Sealed Patriarchs became puppets of foreign devils.”
“Humanity was simply all but powerless to fight back under such circumstances.”
“Within just a few months, half of the world’s cities were destroyed.”
“But when the sea is rough, the heroes are the heroes.”
“It was also in the midst of that cataclysmic period that your ancestor, Chu Yunyang, rose as a comet.”
“With his own strength, he killed even the Ten Seals of the Heavenly Ranking.”
“In the end, he suppressed that foreign devil in a strong way!”
“However, before the foreign devil was sealed, it was leaving behind six stone gates to preserve its power, behind the stone gates.”
What?
Hearing this, Ye Fan’s face undoubtedly changed instantly.
He jerked his head up and looked at his great-grandmother, saying somewhat incredulously, “Great-grandmother, are you saying that the bizarre stone door I saw in the forbidden place of the Chu Sect before was left by the foreign devil back then.”
Grandma nodded, “Yes. The demon was so secretive that Yun Yang’s ancestor did not know that the demon had left a backdoor. ”
“By the time our Chu family found out about this later, Ancestor Yunyang had long since left Earth.”
“Later on, our Chu Family also tried to send people to search for the stone door.”
“But after searching for years, they only found one.”
“But that stone door was extraordinarily strange, invulnerable to swords and spears, water and fire, and it could also affect one’s mind and soul.”
“In the end, after much deliberation, my Chu family stopped searching for the stone door.”
“After all, the stone gate is difficult to destroy, and we are also worried that once we do find all the dragon gates, it will then cause some kind of uncontrollable calamity.”
“Therefore, the Chu Family took this stone gate and made it a forbidden gate.”
“That rebellious son, Chu Yuan, probably did not resist the temptation of the power behind the stone gate and opened the forbidden gate, before he was finally controlled by the foreign devil.”
Grandma Tai sighed, and there was an inexplicable heaviness and sadness in her words.
Although Chu Yuan had acted in a way that was disobedient to her.
But after all, she was bound by blood and kinship.
And now that he had fallen into the hands of a puppet of a foreign devil and finally died at the hands of Ye Fan, it would undoubtedly be impossible for Tai Granny, as a mother, not to be half sad.
Ye Fan didn’t know what to say to comfort Grandma Tai.
He could only say, “My condolences.
“Alright, there’s no need to comfort me.”
“I’m a big old man, I’ve seen a lot of life and death.”
“I’m used to it.”
“That rebellious son is to blame for his end, there is nothing to mourn.”
“The only thing I am worried about is the situation now.”
“I always feel that that Dragon Gate plan is very bizarre.”
“Little Fan, why don’t you go and check it out.”
“If this Dragon Gate is really the stone gate you saw in the middle of the Chu Family’s forbidden land, fight to destroy it.”
“Even if it can’t be destroyed, seal it up.”
“Otherwise, I fear that the catastrophe of a thousand years ago will repeat itself again.”
“Back then, there was also the Yunyang ancestor who saved the world.”
“This time, if the foreign devils make a comeback, I fear that it will really be the end of the earth.”
