Chapter 441: Kunlun Ancestor
He had to read the book ‘Kunlun’s Nine Summits’ before he read this book which talked about the Deity Positions.
Why was this so?
Was the origin of the Deity Positions related to Kunlun, or was the origin of Kunlun similar to that of the Deity Positions?
Without any hesitation, Jiang Lan closed the book.
He took out ‘Kunlun Nine Summits’ to see what was written in it.
He opened the book but did not see any special introduction.
And the opening content had nothing to do with Kunlun.
It was mainly about one person.
A person named Gu wandered the Grand Desolate World. His cultivation had reached the heavens and he was proficient in astronomy and geography.
Every piece of land across the Grand Desolate World seemed to have his footprints.
He had witnessed the glory of the Dragon Race and the rise of the Demon Race.
He had personally witnessed the decline and extinction of various races.
Gu didn’t attract anyone’s attention, as if he was just an ordinary traveler in the vast Grand Desolate World.
Until one day, he became interested in the endless sky.
“What’s above the sky?”
This question spread everywhere.
That day, he flew into the endless void.
However, he didn’t obtain anything. The void wasn’t as special as he thought.
But he could feel something above it.
When Jiang Lan read till her, he was rather puzzled. Until now, the book still hadn’t mentioned anything about Kunlun.
However, he wasn’t in a hurry. Instead, he continued reading.
Soon, he frowned. Kunlun had finally appeared.
After Gu gained nothing, he found a new method.
Countless years of wandering had made him even more interested in the heavens.
He walked through the vast Grand Desolate World once again and finally stopped at the Western Wastelands.
The place where he stopped was a mountain range that seemed to be the source of the mountain clusters.
After coming to this mountain, he felt a special power left behind. This place was definitely extraordinary.
He looked at the mountain and the ground. Finally, he felt something and wrote down his insights in front of a rock.
Later on, he named it: Kunlun Heart Sutra.
…
“So this is the origin of the Kunlun Heart Sutra.” Jiang Lan was surprised.
It turned out that ‘Kunlun Nine Summits’ mainly talked about the Kunlun Ancestor. This was also the first time he had heard of his name.
“He looks very strong. He has seen the vicissitudes of life and the changes in time.
I wonder what realm he’s at. ”
Thinking about it carefully, the other party should be stronger than the nine Kunlun summit leaders.
And in Kunlun, Imperial Lord Xi He should be the strongest.
He wondered if there was any difference in strength between him and the old ancestor.
It was impossible for him to know the answer unless he asked his master directly. As for asking Imperial Lord Xi He…
He did not want to cause trouble for himself.
Then, he continued to flip through the book, wanting to see what happened next.
Up till now, he still did not know if the Kunlun Ancestor was dead or alive. Perhaps, this book could tell him the answer.
He looked at the latter part and realized that Kunlun was named after the Kunlun Heart Sutra.
Gu had remained here ever since. He walked through the surrounding mountains and made many arrangements.
He had always been working hard to find the place above the sky.
On a certain day a hundred years later, he had completed all of his preparations. A rumbling sound echoed throughout the Kunlun Mountain Range.
Nine enormous mountains rose from the ground.
“It’s done,” he said. “Perhaps the answer I want is in these nine mountains.”
This was the feeling Gu had after seeing the mountains rise from the ground.
After everything stabilized, he arrived at the mountain peak that appeared the last. There was a dark aura surrounding it.
It looked extraordinary.
Gu opened up a passage on this mountain peak and a dark aura engulfing the surroundings. However it was suppressed within the mountain peak.
“Is it here?”
Gu disappeared from the mountain peak with his doubts.
After an unknown number of years.
He was pushed out by the powerful force in the tunnel. At this moment, countless seals appeared in the tunnel, and the people inside had sealed the tunnel.
There were some injuries on Gu’s body, but he did not care, nor did he care about the sealed passage.
In the end, he just shook his head.
With a wave of his hand, he laid down a seal and closed the passageway.
This was not the place he was looking for.
…
“This is the entrance to the Netherworld of the Ninth Summit?” Jiang Lan was slightly shocked.
It turned out that the entrance to the Netherworld was opened by the Kunlun Ancestor. The reason why it was sealed was not because the Kunlun Ancestor was guarding against them, but because the people of the Netherworld were guarding against the Kunlun Ancestor.
It was as though they had used up everything to send the Kunlun Ancestor out.
“As time passed, the Netherworld became more powerful. They actually wanted to break the seal.” Jiang Lan sighed in his heart.
He didn’t know if the Netherworld experts from that era were still alive. If they were, it meant that the other party had become stronger and didn’t fear the Kunlun Ancestor.
If not…
They would probably scold their juniors for being ignorant.
Of course, Jiang Lan also knew about the situation at Kunlun. Without the Kunlun Ancestor around, it was hard to say whether Kunlun was at an advantage or disadvantage.
Thus, if it was possible to suppress them, it was best not to let the people from the Netherworld out.
Without much thought, he continued reading.
The sky gradually turned dark.
He was entranced.
After sealing the Netherworld, the Kunlun Ancestor walked over one mountain after another in an orderly manner. However, his harvest was barely satisfactory.
What he found next was merely a mystic realm, not a passageway at all, let alone what he was looking for.
Finally, he arrived at the first mountain peak.
He had gained something here.
This mountain peak was the same as the previous one and a passageway had been opened here.
However, this time around, the aura that was being emitted was gentle and bright.
“Maybe this is where I can find what I am looking for.”
After discovering the passageway, Gu felt a hint of joy.
Without any hesitation, he entered the passageway and disappeared from Kunlun.
After an unknown number of years again, Gu fled back to Kunlun. This time, he was heavily injured.
His injuries were extremely serious.
It was recorded that this was the most serious injury he had suffered in all these years.
Gu, who had returned, was not in a hurry to heal his injuries. Instead, he began to seal the entrance.
Finally, he started writing some books.
He even began to recruit some disciples. From then on, Kunlun became known in the Grand Desolate World.
Some years later, Gu left behind many Dharma treasures and manuals.
After everything was ready, he once again entered the First Summit’s passageway.
After that, there was no more news of him.
At this point, he had almost finished reading the book. To Jiang Lan’s surprise, the Kunlun Ancestor had once again entered the First Summit’s passageway in the end.
What was inside that made him have to go in?
“After he had entered, he was severely injured. Yet, he still decided to go in again.
In that case, there shouldn’t be anything inside that could rush out.
Or is there something waiting for him? ”
Jiang Lan could not understand. However, the Ninth Summit was connected to the Netherworld, while the First Summit was connected to the Heaven Domain.
Perhaps the Heaven Domain was the place the Kunlun Ancestor was looking for.
But what was inside that caused him to be severely injured?
If they were enemies, why would he go back in again?
However, there was no introduction of the Jade Pool here, thus he had no idea what was up with the Jade Pool.
Without much thought, he continued reading.
There were two more pages.
Flipping it open, he saw a sentence: Gu had left behind a sentence in the depths of Kunlun before entering the passage for the second time.
“That’s it?” Jiang Lan was stunned.
Was he supposed to go check the depths of Kunlun?
But where was the depths of Kunlun? Was it the Kunlun Temple?
That was too dangerous.
He flipped to the last page and was stunned.
