Guhan had never expected that he would be able to find out the truth behind the Apocalypse from this Saint's Relic!
This truth appeared so abruptly that Gu Han could not react for a moment, until he confirmed it again and again, and at the same time compared to the fragmented stories he heard from the four Zhu Xian swords, the two were very consistent, it seemed like this was most likely the truth.
Later, Guhan used the information in the Saint's Relic to confirm it with the Four Immortal-Exterminating Swords. After learning that Guhan had grasped the entire truth through the Saint's Relic, the Four Immortal-Exterminating Swords simply admitted that the reason for the Apocalypse was indeed as the Saint's Relic had said. The truth of the Apocalypse had been completely confirmed.
Before this, Guhan had thought that he would never be able to figure out the truth behind the Great Apocalypse in his lifetime. After all, humans had spent 1,000 years trying to figure out the story behind it.
However, on second thought, he realized that there was still a very crucial question that had not been answered in the Saint's Relic — the reason for the appearance of the Sword Ladies.
The reason for the appearance of the first batch of Sword Ladies in the world was clear. It was the self-consciousness of the Four Immortal-Exterminating Swords due to the entanglement of their respective consciousness fragments during the battle between Sect Leader Tongtian and the other Sages.
However, what about the other Sword Ladies?
How was the self-consciousness of the Qingping Sword born?
How was the self-consciousness of the Heavenly Sword born?
As for the tens of thousands of natural Sword Ladies, how were their consciousnesses born?
Guhan also asked the Four Immortal-Exterminating Swords in his hands. In the end, the Four Immortal-Exterminating Swords said that they did not know the reason behind it either.
After being beaten back to the Main World, the Four Immortal-Exterminating Swords fell into a coma for more than 100 years. When they woke up again, the Sword Ladies had already spread all over the world. They were also confused about the reason for their appearance.
Although there was no way to solve the mystery of the Sword Ladies' appearance, it was already a huge gift for Guhan to obtain the truth of the Great Apocalypse. What made Guhan even more excited was that the Saint's Relic contained the various grievances between the Sages back then and the truth of the Great Apocalypse.
Other than detailing the various grudges between the Saints back then and the truth behind the Great Calamity, the Sage Relics also contained the most important cultivation techniques of the Saints.
Although Guhan was only a Celestial Sword Level sword wielder, Emperor Sword Level was something that Guhan could easily obtain. As long as the Celestial Captive Sword could be restored, Guhan could immediately ascend to the throne and become an Emperor Sword Level sword wielder.
Therefore, the real obstacle in front of Guhan now was how to surpass the Emperor Sword level sword wielder and become a Sage.
Everyone might think that Guhan was too greedy. Emperor Sword level was already the peak of humanity. Why would Guhan still want to pursue that so-called Saint?
It was not that Guhan wanted to become a Sage. It was that Guhan had no choice but to become a Sage. In other words, Guhan had to become a Sage. Otherwise, this world would still be finished. After all, it was very likely that the Tongtian Sect Master would be resurrected soon.
According to the Sage Relics, the Tongtian Sect Master's power was attached to the Dimension Wall and became the culprit of opening the Dimension Rift. The Tongtian Sect Master's consciousness fragments became the source of corruption. After that, the Tongtian Sect Master's Primordial Spirit was sealed by Taishang Laojun.
Therefore, the Tongtian Sect Master's body was not dead. As long as the Tongtian Sect Master's Primordial Spirit could be resurrected and at the same time, he could collect his own power and the corrupted consciousness fragments. Then, the Tongtian Sect Master could probably be resurrected!
If the Tongtian Sect Master wanted to resurrect, the most important thing was the sealed Primordial Spirit.
According to the Sage Relics, the thing that was used to seal the Tongtian Sect Master's Primordial Spirit was none other than the Seamless Corridor … The fact that Guhan was able to meet Taishang Laojun's Primordial Spirit in the Seamless Corridor was the best evidence. This was because Taishang Laojun had used all of his remaining power to seal the Tongtian Sect Master's Primordial Spirit. At the same time, the chaotic space-time in the Seamless Corridor just happened to confirm the Sage Relics' words.
According to Mingyuan Jiandi, not long after she entered the Seamless Corridor, the Seamless Corridor collapsed on its own. The time when Mingyuan Jiandi entered the Seamless Corridor should have happened not long after Guhan left the Seamless Corridor.
Guhan didn't even need to use his butt to guess. After all, it was because Taishang Laojun had forcibly sent him away that Taishang Laojun had used up the last of his energy, causing the entire Seamless Corridor to collapse. This was why Mingyuan Jiandi had been thrown out by the Seamless Corridor.
Since the Seamless Corridor had collapsed, then what of the Tongtian Sect Master's Primordial Spirit which had been sealed away by the Seamless Corridor?
It had most likely escaped from the Seamless Corridor and returned to the main world.
When he thought back to the Sage shard's description of the Tongtian Sect Master's Primordial Spirit, which described it as a black crystal, Guhan immediately thought of the black crystal which Mingyuan Jiandi had controlled … and when he thought of how that black crystal was constantly absorbing the filth left behind by Yuan Kou after his death, Guhan was so terrified that he almost jumped up.
There was a 90% chance that the black crystal was the Tongtian Sect Master's Primordial Spirit which had been sealed away by the Seamless Corridor. After the Seamless Corridor had collapsed, the black crystal had also returned to the main world, and then someone had delivered it to Mingyuan Jiandi. The most convincing evidence of this was the fact that the black crystal was constantly absorbing filth. At first, Guhan had thought that the black crystal was indeed a human treasure which could prevent the main world from being polluted by filth.
But now, it seemed that the reason why the black crystal was absorbing filth was because the Tongtian Sect Master wanted to be resurrected.
This was because all of the filth was actually a fragment of Tongtian's own consciousness. Once the Tongtian Sect Master absorbed the majority of the scattered fragments of consciousness, the time for the Tongtian Sect Master's resurrection would come.
At that time, who knew what sort of terrifying things the completely corrupted Tongtian Sect Master would do to the human world after his resurrection?
After understanding this point, Guhan didn't say anything else. He immediately decided to return to Mingyuan City, hoping to obtain the black crystal from Mingyuan Jiandi. At the same time, he wanted to completely control the black crystal, preventing any more filth from entering it and preventing the Tongtian Sect Master from being resurrected.
In order to arrive as quickly as possible, Guhan didn't inform Song Yifei and Lu Xihua, who were waiting outside the tent. He secretly ran back to Mingyuan City through the void alone.
Unfortunately, Guhan's return was a little too late. By the time Guhan arrived at Mingyuan City, it had already been completely razed to the ground. Yes, that's right, Mingyuan City had disappeared. The dimensional rift where Mingyuan City used to be had been razed to the ground. Apart from the broken walls all over the ground, there was no longer any trace of Mingyuan City's existence. Even Mingyuan Jiandi had disappeared without a trace.
At that moment, Guhan realized that he was a step too late. The Tongtian Sect Master's spirit had probably been resurrected and destroyed Mingyuan City at the same time. As for Mingyuan Jiandi's fate, it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
If Mingyuan Jiandi had died in the hands of the Tongtian Sect Master, perhaps he would have avenged Mingyuan Jiandi … However, if Mingyuan Jiandi did not die and was captured alive by the Tongtian Sect Master, one could imagine what kind of pain and torture Mingyuan Jiandi was going through.
After returning to the tent, Guhan realized that the situation he was facing now was completely different from before.
In the past, as long as he could ascend to the throne and become the emperor, he was confident that he could face all the powerhouses in this world, kill them all, and reshape the human world.
However, with the resurrection of the Tongtian Sect Master, the strongest person in the human world was no longer him, but the Tongtian Sect Master who was hiding in the dark … Now, the Tongtian Sect Master might still choose to lurk in the dark because he had not regained all his power.
However, once the Tongtian Sect Master was completely resurrected, the greatest crisis of the human world would come … In the face of such a crisis, Guhan only had one way to deal with it, and that was to make himself stronger to the extent that he could fight the Tongtian Sect Master head-on.
This was probably the reason why the Jie Yin Sage left the Sage Crystal to Guhan. Whether it was Fleeting Maple, Taishang Laojun, or the Jie Yin Sage, they all mentioned that a pacifier would automatically be born in the main world, and this pacifier was the only hope to save the whole world. Only this pacifier had a chance to defeat the Tongtian Sect Master!
1,000 years ago, a pacifier was born, and that was the Kenzu calendar. However, for some reason, Kenzu failed in the end, and no one knew whether he was dead or alive.
It was not until 1,000 years later that the second pacifier was born.
After so many years of fortuitous encounters and adventures, Gu Han could unreservedly say that he should be the pacifier, and he was destined to shoulder the heavy responsibility of saving the world, and only he could save the entire world.
Taishang Laojun and the Jie Yin Sage also foresaw this, so they left everything to him, hoping that he could be cultivated and become another Sage of the human world, because only a Sage could deal with a Sage.
At the same time, Taishang Laojun and the Jie Yin Sage also believed that Guhan would definitely be able to take the last step and become a Sage.
Therefore, in this Sage relic, the Jie Yin Sage told Guhan in detail how he should become a Sage.
According to the records in the Sage relic, there were actually many ways to surpass an Emperor Sword sword wielder and become a Sage. There were a total of 3,000 ways.
Guhan roughly looked through all 3,000 ways and found that most of them were meaningless and impossible to him. Since ancient times, there were only three ways to truly become a Sage. However, no matter which one of these three ways, Guhan had to meet three conditions. If one of the conditions was missing, it would be impossible for Guhan to become a Sage.
