Nangong's words startled me. His words clearly implied that after I die, I don't care what happens.
Clearly, in order to save the Shaman Tribe, he didn't care about the consequences.
He didn't care, but I couldn't calm down. No matter what mission I had, no matter where I came from, I was a human. There was no doubt about that.
If the world was in chaos, would I be able to stand by and watch?
I didn't know where I stood after receiving this sudden information. I stared blankly for a long time, not knowing what to say.
At this time, Nangong said to me with deep emotion, "Although Shennong had a prophecy that the Sage would come into being and our Shaman Tribe would rise again, a prophecy is just a prophecy. We still need to prepare for the opening of the Mountain and Sea Realm.
Although your cultivation base has reached the Yang God stage, it's still too low. You need to increase your cultivation base as quickly as possible. "
At this moment, I was confused and subconsciously asked, "What? Do you need me to do anything about this?"
Nangong smiled. "The jade bracelet is in your hands. What do you think?"
I smiled wryly. He was right. The jade bracelet was in my hands, and it was given to me by Bi 'an. No matter what was inside, I had no reason to abandon it.
More importantly, the metaphysics world was fighting over the so-called key to open the Gate of Immortality. That key was Ye Pianpian, Ye Maolan, and the others. How could I stay out of this matter when it concerned Ye Pianpian?
Thinking of this, I grew anxious. I quickly asked Nangong, "Since Ye Pianpian and the others are the keys to open the Mountain and Sea Realm, what will happen to them when the Mountain and Sea Realm opens?
Will their lives be in danger?
Just like when the Fire God Temple was opened, it was inevitable that there would be sacrifices involved. Could it be that when the Mountain and Sea Realm opens, Ye Pianpian and the others would have to be sacrificed? "
I was very anxious, so I thought of this.
Nangong shook his head. "This... is a bit complicated. I don't know how to explain it to you."
Hearing that he was trying to hide something, I became even more anxious. I hurriedly pulled his arm and asked, "How complicated is it?
If you want to sacrifice Ye Pianpian, I will never agree to open the Mountain and Sea Realm! "
When Nangong heard this, he turned to look at me, frowned for a moment, and then shook his head. "The Mountain and Sea Realm won't sacrifice Ye Pianpian. They... are just tokens.
Furthermore, this matter had something to do with the Suanni, and if the Mountain and Sea Realm was opened, the Suanni would definitely benefit immensely.
This is definitely not a bad thing for you. "
Eh?
When he mentioned Bi 'an, I thought back to when he had given me the Xuan-Yuan Sword, he had written about how the Demon Emperor Bi' an had borrowed the bloodline of Shennong's daughter to escape the Mountain and Sea Realm. Bi 'an was Shennong's daughter. Could he be talking about Bi' an?
But what was her relationship with Ye Pianpian and the others?
After the Mountain and Sea Realm was opened, as a member of the Witch Tribe, Bi 'an would naturally benefit. However, the' immensely great benefit 'Nangong was talking about couldn't be limited to that. What exactly was it?
I asked again, but this time, Nangong wouldn't say anything. He simply told me that the opening of the Mountain and Sea Realm concerned all cultivators under heaven. When the time came, all of the major powers in the metaphysical world would gather, and many of the secluded figures would be waiting for that day. He wanted me to be mentally prepared.
He didn't need to tell me that. I already knew that. Ignoring everything else, I didn't know how to deal with the Sacrificial Evil Spirit.
He was different from Nangong and Bi 'an. He was Chi You, the number one general under Demon Emperor Bi' an's command!
When the Mountain and Sea Realm opened, and the Witch Tribe and Demon Tribe reappeared, what position would the Sacrificial Evil Spirit stand in?
What position would I stand in then?
Fortunately, the Sacrificial Evil Spirit was a member of the Demon Tribe, and would presumably be looking forward to the opening of the Mountain and Sea Realm. In that regard, he and Nangong and the others shared the same interests. For the time being, there shouldn't be any conflicts.
As for Ye Pianpian and the others, since Nangong had assured me that they wouldn't be in any danger, I felt much more at ease.
Nangong was hiding many things from me, but he had never lied to me. I trusted him in that regard.
Having said all of this, I sighed. For the time being, I didn't want to think about the future. Instead, I asked Nangong, "When exactly will the Mountain and Sea Realm open?"
Nangong shook his head. "I can't say for sure, but nine of the ten great Divine Items have already appeared. It should be soon."
Ten great Divine Items?
Could it be that the opening of the Mountain and Sea Realm has something to do with the ten great Divine Items?
I couldn't help but ask Nangong.
He nodded and began to explain.
According to him, the opening of the Mountain and Sea Realm didn't just require the jade bracelet and the key. The ten great Divine Items were also a critical link, an opportunity.
Only when the ten great Divine Items appeared would the Mountain and Sea Realm be opened.
Having said all of this, Nangong waved his hand and removed the barrier. From his actions, it was clear that he had no intention of discussing the Mountain and Sea Realm with me.
I didn't pester him, and just sat there thinking.
It wasn't difficult to understand why he had mentioned that the ten great Divine Items were the key to opening the Mountain and Sea Realm.
Over the years, I had come across quite a few of the ten great Divine Items.
Back in the Jade Buddha Temple, I had my suspicions as to why the ten great Divine Items would appear one after another.
Now that I heard Nangong's explanation, it made sense.
Since the Mountain and Sea Realm could only be opened by me, the fact that the Divine Items had appeared by my side over the years was like a reminder.
However, according to what he had just said, nine of the ten great Divine Items had already appeared. I only knew of seven.
The Xuan-Yuan Sword had become my sword, the Demon Refining Gourd had recognized Fatty as its master, Han Wennan had half a Nuwa Stone, the Eastern Emperor Bell had been sent back to Mount Lao, the Fuxi Zither was still in Chiyou's tomb, the Clear Sky Pagoda had left the Jade Buddha Temple and was nowhere to be seen, and the Farmer God Cauldron was right in front of me.
As for the other three, I still didn't know where they were.
However, from what Nangong had said, it seemed he knew the whereabouts of two of the Divine Items, although the location of the last one was unknown.
I had no idea where the last Divine Item might be.
Thinking of this, I moved closer to Nangong, intending to discuss this matter with him. At the same time, I mentioned whether or not I should collect the Divine Items.
However, before I could finish my sentence, I thought of something.
Although I already knew of seven Divine Items, and all of them were more or less related to me, none of them had fallen into my hands.
The most obvious examples were the Eastern Emperor Bell and the Clear Sky Pagoda.
Both of them were almost within my reach, but in the end, due to various reasons, I missed them, or had no choice but to give them up.
As for the other Divine Items, they had all fallen into the hands of others. However, after carefully analyzing the origins of those people, without exception, they were all people from the Profound and Daoist sects. Moreover, they all came from sects with deep resources.
Presumably, when the Mountain and Sea Realm was opened, these people would also follow Master.
When the time came, the ten great Divine Items would all be gathered, and I wouldn't need to waste time searching for them.
Just as I was thinking about this, Nangong brought me to the Farmer God Cauldron.
At this time, the people from the Medicine King's Valley were not far away, hastily preparing something.
As for Bai Ling, she flew to the Farmer God Cauldron and looked down.
I couldn't help but ask Nangong about his actions.
When he heard my question, he didn't hesitate and told me that the Medicine King Valley was preparing for the annual Sacrificial Ceremony.
Hearing this, I became interested.
This Medicine King Valley was a branch of the ancient Yan Emperor's tribe. Since it was a sacrificial ceremony, it must be to worship the Yan Emperor.
But looking at the situation, it seemed like the Farmer God Cauldron was needed for this ritual.
The Farmer God Cauldron is one of the Ten Great Divine Weapons. It has spirituality in the first place. I comprehended this point when I saw the Clear Sky Pagoda in the Jade Buddha Temple.
Moreover, this Shennong Cauldron was the vessel that the Yan Emperor used to refine medicine when he was alive, so it was the most suitable for offering to the Yan Emperor.
It's just that I originally planned to come and discuss the matter of Wuyue with Bai Ling. Looking at the current situation, it seems that I'll have to wait for a while.
Fortunately, I asked Liu Ruxu to take care of Wuyue and inform me immediately if anything happens.
It had been such a long time, but Wu Yue hadn't sensed his movements. It seemed that Wu Yue hadn't woken up yet.
In that case, there was no need to rush this matter.
As he was thinking, Nangong walked towards the crowd.
Seeing this, I thought that he was going to help, so I followed him.
Unexpectedly, he walked to the bottom of the Shennong Cauldron and stopped. Then, he raised his head and looked up.
I didn't know why, but I also followed him.
But I didn't notice anything strange, so I didn't know what Nangong was looking at.
Then, I saw a hint of loneliness in Nangong's eyes.
I was afraid that he was thinking of the past.
I didn't want to disturb him, so I walked towards the crowd alone. I wanted to see what the people of the Medicine King Valley were preparing.
Before I could take a step, I heard Nangong whisper, "Soon, I've waited for so long. It's finally soon."
As he said this, I could clearly feel his body trembling.
Presumably, as he said, he had been waiting for the opening of the Mountain and Sea Realm for a long time.
Ever since that war, the Witch Tribe had rapidly declined. Moreover, after the Witch Dao War, the Witch Tribe had become like a rat on the street.
For thousands of years, the Witch Tribe had been hiding. Not only did they have to avoid the pursuit of the Mysterious and Daoist sects, but they also had to pay attention to the whereabouts of the Tai Sui to ensure that they could continue their cultivation.
Apart from that, they also had to prepare for the opening of the Mountain and Sea Realm.
None of these things were easy.
But looking at Nangong, it seemed that he was the one who planned all of these things. Although he looked a bit older than me, the emotions he showed made him seem like a participant in the war.
I had my suspicions about his origin.
There were some things that even the sacrificial evil spirit didn't know about, but Nangong knew.
In my opinion, he was the same as the sacrificial evil spirit, an ancient person.
I had never asked him about this before, and he had never mentioned it to me.
But now that I saw this scene, I became even more curious, and I couldn't help but ask him.
After thinking it over, I couldn't suppress the impulse in my heart. I approached Nangong and told him what I was thinking.
Nangong didn't reply immediately. After a long time, he withdrew his gaze from the Farmer God Cauldron.
He paused for a moment, then said to me, "Since things have come to this, I won't hide it anymore.
Didn't you ask me why I said that there was a divine tool that hadn't appeared yet? "
I had only wanted to test him, but I didn't expect that he would really tell me about his origin.
His sudden change in attitude surprised me, and I didn't respond to his question.
Nangong didn't feel surprised when he saw me like this. He continued, "I know about the divine tool that you've seen.
I also have a divine tool on me, and I relied on it to come here. "
