Chapter 76 The Blood Banner of Ten Thousand Souls
The middle-aged cultivator told Yun Chen a lot of information.
This was all the knowledge of this middle-aged cultivator. He came from the Changbai Secret Realm and had read many ancient books in the sect, which contained a large amount of ancient information about the Guixu Continent and Blue Star.
In ancient, prehistoric, and even primordial times, Blue Star and the Guixu Continent were actually interconnected and complete worlds.
On Earth, there once existed an incomparably glorious civilization of cultivation, where one could directly seek immortality and ascend to the celestial realm.
I just don't know why.
As time went by, the spiritual energy of Earth became increasingly thin and depleted, no longer suitable for cultivators to practice, cultivate, and seek immortality.
The cultivators who originally lived on Blue Star had to migrate in large numbers to the Guixu Continent. Around several hundred thousand years ago, the cultivation civilization on Blue Star was almost completely eradicated.
The passages between Blue Star and Guixu Continent have all been closed. Currently, those passages are guarded by several major sects on Blue Star, so there is almost no communication between the two worlds. It is extremely difficult for cultivators from Guixu Continent to enter Blue Star.
In the Guixu Continent, Kunlun is the number one lineage in the world, with profound heritage and countless powerful figures. It is a lineage that has existed for tens of thousands of years.
Other lineages include Changbai, Qinling, Shennong, Fuxi, Shaohao, Nuwa, and Dayu, among many others, each with its own illustrious history.
However, it should be noted that this is a Taoist tradition, not a sect or religion. The Taoist tradition has a complete system of methods, from which there are countless techniques, countless blessings, and countless sects.
Upon hearing this, Yun Chen realized that these were the enduring and long-standing myths and legends, some of which were place names from certain regions of the Xia Kingdom, and others were names of people from ancient Xia Kingdom legends.
These are not just legends, but real things.
It took about two hours for Yun Chen to learn a lot about the ancient cultivation world from this middle-aged cultivator.
Yun Chen guessed that it was definitely not that simple.
"My lord, this is all I know. There are some details I don't have, so please don't be angry if there are any inaccuracies!"
Although the middle-aged cultivator looked only forty years old, he was actually over two hundred years old.
At this moment, he was no longer trembling with fear, but instead filled with awe. He spoke his mind and cooperated fully with Yun Chen. Just now, when Yun Chen patted his shoulder, he was restored to his peak condition. He was filled with shock and had no choice but to feel awe.
The entire underground auction hall was completely silent, with only the flashing lights that exuded a modern technological atmosphere.
Yun Chen withdrew his killing intent and let the man go.
Yun Chen was the only one left in the entire venue.
"Hey, you emperor who claims to cultivate immortality, come out here for a second!"
Yun Chen looked around and said.
Then the air rippled, and Zhu Houcong immediately appeared.
Yun Chen asked, "Was the information that guy just gave us accurate?"
Zhu Houcong pondered, "However, there's one more thing this guy forgot to mention: he didn't mention the sects on Blue Star!"
Yun Chen said, "Then you tell me."
Zhu Houcong nodded: "Um... On Blue Star today, there are still some cultivation lineages that use names like Kunlun, Changbai, and Qinling. Their sects are located in these corresponding places, which are also the passages between Blue Star and the ancient cultivation world. They are responsible for guarding these passages and basically do not participate in worldly affairs."
"I've investigated that cultivator; he happens to be from the same lineage as the Changbai Secret Realm!"
Yun Chen organized this information, his face grave.
Where did his parents go?
Even with his Celestial Emperor-level abilities, he couldn't find it.
This alone is enough to show that this matter is far from simple.
The only possibility is that he is no longer on Earth!
Have we entered the legendary Guixu Continent?
Then, Yun Chen looked at Zhu Houcong: "Find a way to notify these existing cultivation realms. I'll be there anytime, anywhere. Tell them to investigate immediately and find out who took my parents. Make them hand them over right now!"
Zhu Houcong looked troubled and said with a wry smile, "Fellow Daoist, I don't have that authority. Those sects are too high and mighty..."
Yun Chen said, "I'm informing you, not discussing it with you. How you inform them is your business!"
That's too domineering and completely unreasonable.
Zhu Houcong grumbled inwardly, but dared not say it to his face.
He clasped his hands in a fist and bowed, and had no choice but to agree.
Yun Chen's figure flashed and he disappeared from the spot.
Zhu Houcong breathed a slight sigh of relief; he was about to order his men to clean up the horrific scene.
As a result, Yun Chen returned the next second.
"My lord... fellow Daoist, is there anything else you need me to do?"
He shuddered and quickly tried to remain calm.
Yun Chen said, "I forgot to tell you, the Jin family of Sucheng has no reason to exist anymore. You know what I mean? Before dawn, I don't want to see anyone from that family still alive."
Zhu Houcong readily agreed, "I understand."
He thought to himself, the Jin family deserved it. Of all people to offend, they had to offend such a powerful and influential figure.
He bowed and clasped his hands in greeting: "Fellow Daoist, is there anything else you require?"
Yun Chen didn't rush to leave because he remembered the Ten Thousand Souls Banner he had just found.
He looked at Zhu Houcong and asked, "How many people of foreign ethnicity are still living in our Xia Kingdom today?!"
Zhu Houcong immediately sensed something was wrong!
He felt uneasy, and had a guess that this "fellow Daoist" was about to do something earth-shattering!
Zhu Houcong asked, "Fellow Daoist, what do you intend to do?"
Yun Chen asked with a dangerous look, "Don't play dumb. You should know my question perfectly well. Answer me now."
Zhu Houcong said, "Aside from the large number of cultivators and martial artists, the total population of the Xia Kingdom in the secular world is approximately 2.3 billion, but of them, those of foreign bloodlines account for more than 900 million..."
Clearly, he was very aware of this information.
With a wave of his hand, Yun Chen conjured a large banner, which resembled a giant battle flag, its blood-stained surface fluttering in the wind!
Zhu Houcong stared in disbelief, his expression one of terror. He could feel the horror of the banner, which made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave, as if he had entered a hellish place of corpses and blood!
In an instant, the entire venue became gloomy, as if a large black cloud had pressed down, various strange phenomena occurred, blood energy surged, and it was as if a cold wind was howling and ghosts and gods were wailing!
Zhu Houcong was startled and broke out in a cold sweat!
"Sir, those are just ordinary people!"
Yun Chen sneered: "Are they of the bloodline of my Xia Kingdom?"
Zhu Houcong was speechless for a moment.
Yun Chen continued, "They've already secretly carried out their plan to switch countries. So many people are their people. They appear to be Xia citizens, but they have foreign blood flowing in their veins. They eat Xia food, earn Xia money, yet they do things that harm the Xia people. Aren't you going to settle scores with these people or just keep them around?"
Zhu Houcong opened his mouth wide, speechless.
This is amazing!
Let alone a Golden Core cultivator, even a Nascent Soul cultivator would find it extremely difficult to slaughter hundreds of millions of people in a single night.
Even with the highest level of cultivation and the most powerful supernatural abilities, the internal energy cannot sustain such a level of consumption; the amount consumed is unimaginable.
Moreover, they will inevitably suffer divine punishment afterward.
Therefore, even the most heinous demonic cultivators would never do such a thing.
Yun Chen sneered, "Since you can't bring yourself to do it, then I'll do it. You'd better clean up the mess!"
Zhu Houcong asked, "Now?"
Yun Chen said, "It seems you're even more anxious than I am."
Zhu Houcong blushed and quickly explained, "If a large number of people in Xia Kingdom were to die overnight, it would definitely cause all sorts of unrest. These foreign people have spread widely throughout Xia Kingdom, penetrating all walks of life, and have already taken deep root. Moving one part would affect the whole situation. It would be a huge loss for Xia Kingdom, and I don't know how much it would affect the lives of ordinary people!"
Yun Chen said, "A short, sharp pain is worse than a long, drawn-out one. If we don't carry out a major purge now, it will be too late when the country is destroyed and our people are wiped out!"
