The turmoil caused by the sacred object of the demonic path was even beyond Mo Tiange's imagination.
After leaving the Ling Clan, she didn't immediately go to the Sea of Returning Ruins to look for Ling Yunhe. Instead, she temporarily settled down in Sky Snow City.
During this time, she saw many Core Formation cultivators passing through Sky Snow City and hurrying south.
Some of these cultivators were in groups while some were alone. There were probably cultivators from both sects and individual cultivators.
It seemed that this sacred object of the demonic path was extremely important to the cultivators in Yunzhong.
Realizing this, Mo Tiange had to inquire about some information.
She was puzzled. No matter how powerful this sacred object of the demonic path was, it was only a magic weapon. There was no lack of powerful cultivators in Yunzhong, so why did they all flock to this magic weapon?
She didn't understand until she went to the teahouse in Sky Snow City.
Aura Refining and Foundation Building cultivators couldn't intervene in such a big matter, but that didn't stop them from talking excitedly.
From these people, Mo Tiange learned that there were some ancient legends circulating in Yunzhong.
One hundred thousand years ago was the most prosperous period of the cultivation world in Yunzhong. Whether it was the righteous path or the demonic path, they all produced talented people and prospered.
At that time, several legendary figures appeared among the cultivators of each path.
The first was Fu Yao Zi, the second was Sky Luminous Demon Venerable, the third was Jiuyan Sect's founder, Saint Gui Zhen, the fourth was Confucian Saint Zhou Fuzi, and the fifth was Buddhist Master Hui Yin.
These five figures were no more than a thousand years apart in age and were people of the same generation. Because they were far more powerful than their peers, they were called the Five Saints by the cultivators in Yunzhong.
Among the Five Saints, Fu Yao Zi was the most unique one.
He didn't belong to any sect, but he was so powerful that he was still called the number one person in Yunzhong's history.
The other four were representatives of the demonic path, Taoist path, Confucian path, and Buddhist path. Each of them had disciples.
There were also rumors about the Five Saints in Yunzhong.
It was said that the Five Saints all advanced to the Soul Formation realm and left the world. Before they left, they each left treasures in the world. These were the five sacred objects in Yunzhong.
Among these five sacred objects, Sky Luminous Demon Venerable naturally had the Heavenly Demon Tower and Master Hui Yin's Inescapable Net. As for the other three, people only knew they had treasures but didn't know their names.
However, other than Fu Yao Zi, Saint Gui Zhen, Master Zhou, and Master Hui Yin all had disciples that were passed down from generation to generation. It was highly likely that they were in the hands of their disciples.
As for the Sky Luminous Demon Exalted, after he passed away, the ten Demon Monarchs were suppressed by Fu Yao Zi alone, and the Heavenly Demon Tower eventually disappeared.
Because of this, after so many years, although there was no lack of Nascent Soul cultivators in the Devil Dao, they were all suppressed by the other Daos.
Mo Tiange left the teahouse and sat inside the Virtual Sky World, lost in thought.
Inescapable net, inescapable net, why did it sound so familiar?
After thinking for a while, an idea suddenly flashed through his mind!
Ten years ago, when she first arrived at Sky Snow City, she was robbed by two Foundation Building cultivators. At that time, she casually took their magic weapon into her pocket. That magic weapon was called the Inescapable Net by them!
With this thought in mind, Mo Tiange put her hand into her Qiankun Bag. After fumbling around for a long time, she finally took out a golden net.
It was unknown what the net was made of, but it was completely golden and light as if it was weightless. It was also infused with a strange spiritual energy.
After looking at it for a while, Mo Tiange couldn't see anything unusual about it.
Treasures always had an imposing manner. For example, the Fusheng Sword she obtained. Although it had been corroded by devil aura and was covered in rust, it was still shockingly powerful.
However, she couldn't see any power from the golden net in front of her. If there was anything unusual about it, it would be that it looked extremely exquisite and the spiritual energy on it was something she still couldn't see through with her cultivation level.
She carefully recalled what happened ten years ago. One of the two people died under her hands, and the other one she found pleasing to the eye, so she let him go. That person once admitted that they were indeed Buddhist cultivators.
But the problem was, they were only two Foundation Building cultivators, so how could they possibly have a Buddhist holy object?
A Devil Dao holy object was enough to make all of Yunzhong restless, so a Buddhist holy object should be kept in the hands of a great Buddhist cultivator.
Could it be that this thing was an imitation of the real Inescapable Net?
This wasn't impossible. Many famous Psychic Magic Weapons had imitations in the world. For example, the square seal in her hand was actually made by Lord Daoist Jinghe based on Lord Daoist Zhenyang's natal magic weapon. Therefore, although it couldn't be considered a top-grade magic weapon, it was still very powerful.
After thinking for a while, Mo Tiange still couldn't think of a reason, so she shook her head and put the golden net back into her Qiankun Bag.
She wasn't a cultivator from Yunzhong, so even if this matter made all the cultivators in Yunzhong crazy, she wouldn't feel excited at all.
There were so many high level cultivators, including many late stage Nascent Soul cultivators with great divine power. Even if she went there, she would only be watching the fun.
Besides, she didn't covet the Devil Dao's holy object.
Just like that, she stayed in Sky Snow City for another month. During this time, rumors spread like wildfire in Sky Snow City. Rumors spread like wildfire in the teahouses, but no one knew whether it was true or false.
Cultivators of various paths fought each other in the Sea of Returning Ruins and more than half of them died or were injured; they found a spatial crack in the Sea of Returning Ruins; they said the Heavenly Devil Tower had actually fallen into someone else's hands … The news was very messy.
Mo Tiange was confused, so she simply found a time to go see Xiaoshun.
Xiaoshun was very enthusiastic about her visit and told her everything he knew about the matter.
From Xiaoshun, Mo Tiange heard another version of the legend.
"Senior, although the legend of the Five Saints has been circulating in Yunzhong for a long time, it's been several tens of thousands of years, and there are many mistakes in it. Even disciples of the Five Saints like us can't tell whether it's true or false."
Hearing Xiaoshun's words, Mo Tiange said, "So, what I heard should be false?"
Xiaoshun hesitated for a while then shook his head. "It's not completely false.
The Five Saints themselves and the five holy objects they left behind should all be true.
But there were others that were fake.
For example, only Demon Venerable Skylight and Fu Yaozi can be confirmed to have reached the Deification Realm. The others, including our Jiuyan Sect's Saint Gui Zhen, are only rumored to have reached the Deification Realm. As for whether they've reached the Deification Realm or not, we, the descendants, don't know. "
Mo Tiange was surprised. "Why is that?
Saint Gui Zhen is the founder of your sect. Don't tell me there's no record of him in the sect? "
Xiaoshun shook his head. "It's been too long. How could I remember it in such detail?
Besides, I'm just an ordinary disciple. Although I'm favored by Second Uncle and know a bit more than others, there are some things that a disciple like me can't know. "
Mo Tiange found it reasonable, so she nodded.
There were some secrets that only a few people could know. If other people's ranks weren't high enough, they wouldn't know no matter how close they were.
"However, there's one thing we can be sure of. The Five Saints did pass down a set of magic weapons with amazing divine powers," Xiaoshun said.
Then he hesitated for a moment and said, "Senior, I can't be sure if the following things are true or false. They're just rumors I heard in the sect. If they're wrong, don't blame me."
Mo Tiange smiled and said, "How can you be sure there's nothing wrong with what happened a hundred thousand years ago?
You don't need to worry. I was the one who wanted to ask you for information, so how could I blame you? "
When Xiaoshun heard this, he smiled and scratched his head in embarrassment.
Although these things couldn't be regarded as the sect's secrets, he was willing to talk about them because this Senior Qin was good-natured and they got along very well.
"Senior must want to know why the Five Saints passed down their magic weapons together, right?" Xiaoshun said.
Mo Tiange nodded. "That's exactly what I don't understand."
It was normal to pass down magic weapons to later generations, but why did the rumors emphasize "an extremely powerful magic weapon" and "called a holy object"?
It was indeed a bit unusual to call five magic weapons a holy object.
Xiaoshun said, "Regarding this matter, this junior has heard of another saying in the sect …"
Xiaoshun then began to explain slowly.
It was said that a hundred thousand years ago, after a tsunami in the Sea of Returning Ruins, a spatial rift suddenly appeared. Through this spatial rift, one could enter a wonderful space. No one knew when this space had been left behind, but it was filled with the aura of the Distant Past and was extremely wonderful.
The appearance of such a space naturally attracted the attention of cultivators. Almost all the cultivators in Yunzhong were involved in it. After a struggle, the ones who finally entered this space were the five top cultivators, the Five Saints.
As for what the Five Saints obtained in this space, no one knew.
After they returned, they kept this experience a secret. Even their closest disciples didn't know about it.
After the Five Saints passed away, there was a secret rumor among the cultivators in Yunzhong that the Five Saints obtained a Distant Past spiritual treasure, so they rushed into the Deification realm in one fell swoop. Of course, this was only a rumor. What the Five Saints obtained in this wonderful place was all speculation.
After the Five Saints left, no one could find this space again.
Some people said that this spatial rift was originally unstable, so after the Five Saints came out, it collapsed on its own. Some people also said the Five Saints hid it.
"Which is the answer? Does Senior want to guess?" At this point, Xiaoshun looked at Mo Tiange with a meaningful smile.
Seeing his expression, Mo Tiange smiled faintly and said, "Of course it's the second one." Otherwise, why would you mention these five holy artifacts?
Xiaoshun nodded. "Correct. Among our group, it's the second answer.
The Five Saints worked together to seal this wonderful space. Unless one knows the method to open it, no one can enter. "
At this point, he looked at Mo Tiange. "Senior should've guessed it, right?
The five magic weapons left behind are said to be the keys to this mysterious space. "
"I see …" If this was the case, it could explain why the Five Saints passed down these five holy artifacts. In fact, whether they were powerful or not was secondary. What was important was that these five holy artifacts could open that wonderful space.
"However," Xiaoshun emphasized, "this matter is only a rumor. As for what the truth is, no one knows for a long time.
Even if someone knows, there's no way to prove it. Because aside from the Heavenly Demon Tower and the Inescapable Net, only a few people know what the other three holy artifacts are. "
"Oh?
Could it be that you also don't know what your Jiuyan Sect's founder passed down? "
"I don't know."
Xiaoshun shook his head decisively. "Therefore, whether this rumor is true or false, Junior also doesn't know. Senior should just take it as gossip and listen to it."
Mo Tiange nodded to show that she understood. She then said, "In that case, the reason why so many cultivators from Yunzhong rushed to the Heavenly Demon Tower wasn't only because they were afraid devil cultivators would obtain it and greatly increase their power, but also because of this rumor?"
"Probably." Xiaoshun didn't give a definite answer. "I don't know about the rumors in other cultivation groups."
Mo Tiange thought for a while then stood up with a smile. "I understand.
Thank you for telling me this. Whether it's true or false, I'll just take it as an interesting story. "
