Chapter 590 The Origin of the Immortal Monument

"Pan wants to refine the true blood of the Sea God, which has aroused public anger, but I think they dare not speak out, waiting for someone to take the lead. I originally hoped that your Holy Island could take the lead, but it seems that the situation is uncertain."

There was a hint of complaint in Xie Huan's tone.

"Haha, it's their own business, and they want others to take the lead. That's wrong of them. The most we can do is add fuel to the fire."

The old man said with a smile.

"You don't seem to care about the refining of the true blood?"

"It's not that I don't care, but it's useless to care. The real thing is to do your own thing well."

"Your business..."

"Having afternoon tea."

"Ah."

Xie Huan took a few more pieces of cake and stuffed them into his mouth.

Since the other party is not in a hurry, there is no reason for me to be in a hurry. I have already come out of the sea, so I should just enjoy the sunshine leisurely. Even if the sky falls, it will not be my turn to hold it up.

Xie Huan drank a few cups of tea comfortably, leaned back in a chair and basked in the sun with satisfaction, praising: "The spiritual energy of the Holy Island is indeed the essence of heaven and earth. Is this the source of the Great Dao? It feels like if I don't do anything, just live here, I can become a god."

"If you wish, you can stay here permanently."

The old man said with a smile.

"I dare not to stay here. I might get killed by you one day."

Xie Huan said this half-truthfully.

Seeing how unruly he was, Mr. Jian's face darkened and his eyes turned cold, but since the island owner didn't seem to care, he didn't get angry.

"You are the most difficult person to trick in this world."

The old man laughed at himself, his eyes moving, and said, "Are you injured? I'll help you heal."

As he said this, he stretched out his hand.

"It's okay. There is plenty of spiritual energy here. I can just regulate my breathing."

Xie Huan refused.

After being cheated by this old man, I became more cautious.

Maybe the other party is using the opportunity of healing me to explore the mysteries of my body.

Besides, it’s not a serious injury, so there’s no need to owe anyone a favor.

He took out some pills and swallowed them, then practiced the "Heavenly Heart Formless Art" on the spot, using hand gestures to heal the patient.

In addition to the incomparable and astonishingly rich spiritual energy, this holy island also seems to contain some strange rules that are of great benefit to the body.

He used his mental skills to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Soon, layers of golden, green, white, and transparent light flowed back and forth on Xie Huan's body, appearing colorful and varied.

The old man did not disturb them, but watched with interest and asked Mr. Jian to change the pot of tea.

After a while, all the injuries in Xie Huan's body healed, and the power of his holy body increased a little.

He was immersed in this mysterious feeling, feeling extremely comfortable and unwilling to come out. He simply changed the seal in his hand and continued to practice "Yuan Zong Hua Zhen Hun Jue".

After all, the opportunity is rare.

After a while, he began to feel uneasy. The emotions and images of Haidu kept appearing in his mind, and he couldn't calm down at all.

He frowned, then slowly opened his eyes.

I saw Mr. Jian also sitting aside, drinking tea and tasting cakes with the old man. Some dried fruits and other delicacies had been added to the table.

"This old man really doesn't care whether Duan Tianya and the others live or die?"

Xie Huan was filled with doubts.

I always feel that it won’t be that serious.

But I couldn't understand why he could drink tea so calmly.

Instead, I was the one who couldn't calm down.

"Why, are you feeling confused? I have an extremely quiet place that can calm your inner fire and make your mind empty. I'll lend it to you to practice."

The old man said with a smile.

"No need, my injury has healed, so I'll take my leave now."

Xie Huan stood up and was about to leave.

"Do you know the origin of the five immortal monuments?"

the old man suddenly asked.

Xie Huan was stunned for a moment, then sat back in his chair and pushed the empty teacup in front of Mr. Jian.

Although Mr. Jian was reluctant, he still poured him a glass.

"The five immortal monuments were originally the seals of the Grand Void Ancient Forbidden Zone, or stakes, which fixed the Grand Void Ancient Forbidden Zone in the time and space of this world, making it unable to move."

The old man said slowly.

After hearing such a secret, Xie Huan held his breath and forgot to drink the tea in his hand.

Mr. Jian was obviously hearing this for the first time and was paying full attention.

"In order to explore the ancient forbidden area of ​​Taixu, people later tried all kinds of methods and finally pried open a few pieces. The ones that came out were the Stardust Stele and the Purple Palace Stele of the Sea Clan. If I'm not mistaken, there should be one on Qingyun Continent as well."

The old man looked at Xie Huan and said.

"Indeed."

Xie Huan confessed his identity to the old man, but did not tell him his specific origins. Unexpectedly, the other party had guessed it. In that case, there was no need to deny it.

When one reaches the realm of the Lord of the Holy Island and Shi Mang, one has reached the end of this world. Everything is in the perception and understanding of the Way of Heaven, and many things can be discussed openly.

"Do you still remember the words on that monument?"

The old man's eyes flashed and he asked with excitement.

"I don't know if I remember it."

Xie Huan grinned.

What I mean is that I can remember it or not, it depends on the situation.

"That's good."

The old man smiled with relief.

This means that Xie Huan remembered it. As long as he remembered it, he would be able to pry it out eventually. It was just a matter of cost.

"The sea tribe seems to have one too, called the Purple Palace Stele."

Xie Huan said.

"Yes, the Purple Palace Stele is the treasure of the Sea Clan and is hidden in the Sea God Temple."

"You should have seen it too, right?"

Xie Huan asked tentatively.

"I don't remember clearly."

The old man learned Tai Chi from Xie Huan.

"Well, it's better not to remember. The reason why people have so many worries is because they have a good memory. If you remember less, you will be happier."

"There is another stele that has also been circulated, but no one knows its name."

"Four pieces?"

Xie Huan was surprised and asked, "Is there only one piece left of the seal and the stake that fixed the ancient forbidden area of ​​Taixu?"

The old man nodded.

"You said earlier that the purpose of the five immortal monuments is to seal and fix the Grand Void Ancient Forbidden Zone in this world. What will happen if all five are gone? Will the Grand Void Ancient Forbidden Zone float away?"

Xie Huan asked in surprise.

"Nobody knows."

The old man shook his head and smiled, "The cultivators in this world have too little information about the Grand Void Ancient Forbidden Zone. The five immortal monuments are a way to understand it, but we need to connect them together to read out the contents."

"If there is still a stele still sealed, how can we read it? Do we have to go to the Taixu Ancient Forbidden Zone to find that stele?"

Xie Huan's face looked a little ugly. He was the one who knew best the danger of the Taixu Ancient Forbidden Zone.

"There is another way."

The old man said: "There are rubbings on the stones used to build these five immortal monuments. If we can get the original stone, we can infer something from the rubbings."

"That piece of raw stone gave birth to intelligence and then disappeared." Xie Huan said in a daze.

He thought of Long Xiu's half piece of gold foil: "...When I was born, there were five monuments that hid this secret, but the location of the monuments is hard to find. The original stones of the five monuments are preserved in the ancient relics of Haidu, and perhaps we can get a glimpse of them. We can go and see them."

I don’t know what the origin is, but it seems that this is the mystery it is talking about.

"The original stone is in Haidu?"

Mr. Jian asked in surprise.

Xie Huan gave a general account of the raw stone.

"I had guessed that the raw stone was in Haidu, but I didn't expect it to be used to lock the Nine Heavens Pearl. Wow, it's really creative. It seems that this kind of stone material is very suitable for use as seals and stakes."

The old man stroked his beard and thought.

"You said earlier that there is another piece circulating out there, and no one knows its name. Then how do you know about it? Has anyone seen it?"

Xie Huan asked.

"My guess."

The old man's eyes became deep: "And this stele should be in someone's hands."

"Who?"

Xie Huan and Mr. Jian were both shocked.

The old man did not answer, but said: "When the five keys are complete, the void is quiet, the immortal road is over, and eternal life is achieved. Everyone knows this sentence, so what do these five keys refer to?"

"The object that opens space, the treasure that traces time, the power that carries belief, the foundation of all things, and the spiral of life structure."

Mr. Jian answered fluently.

The old man stroked his beard and said nothing.

Xie Huan suddenly thought of something and asked in surprise, "Could it be the five immortal monuments?"

The old man smiled slightly and praised: "You can say that, but Jian Chun is also right, because the five immortal monuments represent these five powers. The Stardust Monument contains the power to trace back time, and the Purple Palace Monument contains the power to open space. And I found that there is another power flowing in this Yuanyang Sea."

The old man's words were like a flash of lightning, flashing through Xie Huan's consciousness.

He suddenly thought of the power of the bronze star track in the Tianhuang Palace, which was able to trace back time, and the Stardust Monument appeared in the Tianhuang Palace.

At that time, he and everyone else were practicing under the Stardust Monument, and he also sensed the future path of practice.

"What power?"

Xie Huan asked subconsciously.

"Carrying the power of faith."

The old man spoke slowly, word by word.

"Magic Box!"

Xie Huan suddenly shouted: "Could it be that the appearance of the magic box is related to another monument?"

"It is certain. Otherwise, how can such a thing be done by human power?"

The old man said with a twinkling look in his eyes: "The other stele should be in the hands of the person who made the magic box."

"Didn't they say that the magic box was made before the war in the turbid world? That person should have been reduced to ashes long ago, right?"

"What do you think?"

The old man asked back.

Xie Huan fell into silent speech.

For some beings that defy the heavens, there are various means to prolong their survival time. Although they cannot escape the five decays of heaven and earth in the end, living tens of thousands of years longer is not a problem.

Not to mention the owner of the magic box, even the old man in front of him has probably been cheating and has existed for who knows how many years.

"Old man, what medicine did you take today? You gave me so much valuable information for free. Aren't you afraid of losing out?"

"You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. If I don't give you some benefits, will you follow me and risk your life?"

"Indeed not."

"It's almost time, it's time to go."

"Where?"

"Haitu."

"…You're going to Kaidu now? How are you going?"

Xie Huan asked with a frown.

Even if the old man has superb cultivation and some magical weapon for traveling, it is impossible for him to reach Haidu in a few days, and by then it would be too late.

The old man smiled without saying a word, and a round object appeared in his hand. It was small and exquisite, inlaid with colorful gems, with faint starlight shining on it, and in the middle was a delicate pointer.

Xie Huan took a closer look and felt that he had seen this thing before. He suddenly shouted, "Spiritual treasure - Twin Star Discs!"

"Exactly."

The old man smiled and said, "You have read the Wanling Baolu, so you will know its function."

Xie Huan was shocked and his face became gloomy.

The so-called twin star plates are two identical things that can sense and attract each other. No matter how far apart they are, they can instantly travel back and forth through each other's "entanglement" power.

Needless to say, the other star chart must be on Duan Tianya.

He finally understood why the old man didn't go over first. Duan Tianya and the others were the vanguard. If the situation was not good, they would use the Twin Star Disks to shuttle back. If the situation was still okay, the old man would shuttle over, so as to avoid being wiped out if they went over alone.

It seems that the situation is still okay, but how does this old man know that the situation is still okay?

Xie Huan suddenly thought, if the Holy Island could have a secret agent like Bohang, wouldn’t there be a second or even a third secret agent?

Now I have decided to go there. It may be that the natal jade tablets of Duan Tianya and others are fine, or it may be the information of the second hidden stake.

"Eat more, because we have to work again later."

The old man poured Xie Huan a cup of fragrant tea and stuffed a handful of dried fruits into his mouth.

At this time, Xie Huan sensed that there were several more auras around him, which were looming and ethereal. If he had not practiced "The Immortal's Return to the Original Nature", he would not have been able to sense it.

"Why is there one missing?"

The old man asked with a frown.

"Kaneki is taking a bath, and he'll be doing an oil massage later, so it'll take a while."

A voice came from the void.

"...Fuck! It's already this time. He's in a hurry to reincarnate. He knows he's going to die and won't be able to soak in the future, so why would he soak in it more now? Isn't he afraid of being pushed to death by the oil massage?!"

The old man flew into a rage.

"do not know."

The voice in the void was helpless.

"Hurry up and call him over, or I'll skin him alive and he won't be able to give me oil massages anymore!"

The old man said coldly.

The next second, Xie Huan sensed an additional presence around him.

"Okay, everything is ready."

The old man placed his hands on the twin star disks. The light from the gemstones continued to flow out, and the pointers began to move.

"Wait!"

Xie Huan stood up and shouted, "You guys go, I won't go. I'm just a little Nascent Soul, I won't be able to do anything if I go, and I'll just hold you back."

But the light of the twin star disks suddenly spread out, covering the surrounding area.

When Xie Huan wanted to leave, he immediately found himself locked in and unable to move.

"Hey, old man, I'm not going. Can you hear me?"

Xie Huan slammed his palm on the table and shouted loudly.

"For the future of humanity, you have volunteered to go to Haidu to fight, risking your lives. This is truly admirable and moving."

The old man said this with respect on his face.

Xie Huan heard several muttered curses from behind.

"Hey, I'm not going!"

The huge starlight flashed violently, and Xie Huan, the owner of the Holy Island, Mr. Jian, and those faint auras all disappeared.
