Chapter 285 The Heavenly Eye Probes, the Wrath of the Gu God
"However, this is not a good place to talk. Please come with me to the 'Star Palace' for a chat."
Jiang Mo waved his hand to remove the golden longsword, but the golden insects remained hidden in various places, ready to strike at any moment.
"Yes, but my friend must come along."
Lin Tianyan nodded: "Of course, please follow me."
Led by Lin Tianyan, the group passed through the main hall of the observatory and arrived at a small building at the back.
The building has a simple exterior, but the stone pillars on both sides of the entrance are covered with ancient runes, giving it a mysterious aura.
"This is the sacred ground of the Heavenly Eye Society, the Star Palace, which preserves various ancient books and secrets collected by the Society over the past three thousand years."
"Ordinary disciples rarely get to see him in their entire lives, but I've made an exception today by bringing Mr. Jiang along, to make up for the previous misunderstanding."
Lin Tianyan pushed open the door, and an ancient aura rushed towards him.
Upon entering, one is greeted by a circular pool in the center of the hall. The water is crystal clear, reflecting the star chart on the ceiling.
Lin Tianyan arrived at the edge of the pool, formed a hand seal, and began chanting an ancient incantation.
The water in the pool began to ripple, then slowly calmed down.
But the reflection in the water is no longer the star map on the ceiling.
Instead, they are vivid images, as if telling an ancient story.
"Mr. Jiang, please look. This is an ancient memory seen by the founder of my Heavenly Eye Society through the 'Eye of Destiny'."
Lin Tian pointed to the image in the water, his expression solemn.
In the image, a man in a golden robe stands side by side with a man in a black robe.
Together they faced seven powerful elemental forces.
The seven elemental forces each took human form, wielding the seven powers of fire, water, earth, wind, thunder, light, and darkness, their imposing aura suggesting an intent to destroy everything.
The man in the golden robe and the man in the black robe joined forces to set up a great formation, which finally sealed the seven elementalists.
"This is the ancient Gu God and the Sect Master of the Heavenly Gu Sect."
Lin Tianyan explained, "They were originally fellow disciples, learning their skills from the same master and jointly creating the Gu Dao lineage."
"The Gu God is upright and reveres light and order."
"The Heavenly Gu Sect Master pursues power and freedom; although their ideologies differ, they respect each other."
"Until the Seven Star Elementals awakened, bringing with them catastrophe."
"They temporarily put aside their differences and joined forces to seal this power."
"But after the seal was placed, the two disagreed on how to deal with the Seven Star Elemental Masters."
"The Gu God advocates thoroughly purifying the seven star elements to remove the chaotic factors within their bodies, allowing them to return to their true nature."
"The Heavenly Gu Sect Master, on the other hand, wanted to use the power of the Seven Star Elementalists to elevate himself and become an existence surpassing all others."
'This conflict eventually escalated into an earth-shattering battle, in which the Heavenly Gu Sect Master was defeated and sealed away in another world by the Gu God.'
"And to prevent future generations from repeating the same mistakes, the Gu God specially modified the inherited memories."
"The Heavenly Gu Sect Master was portrayed as a complete villain, concealing their past friendship and cooperation."
Upon hearing this, a hint of shock and sorrow flashed in Jiang Mo's golden eyes.
So, the feud between the Gu God and the Heavenly Gu Sect Master ultimately stems from their different attitudes towards power?
Lin Tianyan nodded: "That's right, the Gu God believes that power should be used to maintain the balance of the world."
"The sect leader of the Heavenly Gu Sect, however, believed that power was meant to transcend all constraints."
This ideological clash ultimately led them from close friends to bitter enemies.
Jiang Mo was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked: "What role did the Heavenly Eye Society play in this conflict?"
Lin Tianyan gave a wry smile: "We at Tianyan will always stand in the position of observers, recording the truth of history."
"But to be honest, we are more inclined to follow the philosophy of the Heavenly Gu Sect Master."
"Because only through the continuous pursuit of power can humanity take control of its own destiny."
This is why we maintain a certain degree of cooperation with the Heavenly Gu Sect Master.
Jiang Mo's eyes flashed with golden light: "So, you manipulated the Aurora Cult to hold the ceremony."
"So it's all to help the Heavenly Gu Sect Master find the Seven Star Tomb?"
Lin Tianyan smiled noncommittally: "Mr. Jiang, you misunderstand. We simply want to understand the truth to prevent another cataclysmic disaster."
"After all, once the Seven Star Elementalists are fully awakened, even the combined might of the Gu God and the Heavenly Gu Sect Master would be difficult to withstand."
"Our ritual was merely to investigate the situation in the Abyss of Eternal Freeze; we meant no harm."
Jiang Mo sneered: "Is that so? Then why not just tell me the truth directly, instead of going through this roundabout way?"
Lin Tian's eyes were filled with complex emotions: "Because the prophecy tells us that you, the reincarnation of the Gu God, may repeat the Gu God's mistakes."
"Ultimately, they clashed with the Heavenly Gu Sect Master, which allowed the Seven Star Elementalists to awaken."
"We need to make sure you have enough heart and wisdom to break this cycle of fate."
Jiang Mo remained silent, pondering Lin Tianyan's words.
Feng Baobao couldn't help but ask, "Since your Heavenly Eye knows so many secrets..."
"You must also know the locations of the other dark bloodline carriers, right?"
Lin Tianyan nodded: "I do know some."
“There are also five dark bloodline carriers scattered around the world.”
“分别是&39;沙蝎皇&39;、&39;金蝉使&39;、&39;血蛭伯爵&39;、&39;毒蝇部落&39;酋长和&39;珊瑚蛊女&39;。&34;
&34;其中&39;金蝉使&39;隐藏在东亚地区的&39;幻听林&39;中,是唯一一个拥有自主意识的黑暗血脉载体,不受天蛊宗宗主的完全控制。&34;
"He might be able to tell you more secrets about the Gu God and the Heavenly Gu Sect Master."
Jiang Mo's eyes flashed with golden light: "The Illusionary Forest? Where is it located?"
Lin Tianyan reached out and touched the water in the pool, revealing a dense bamboo forest hidden in a secluded spot in a mountain range.
"This is a bamboo forest deep in the Qinling Mountains. Ordinary people who accidentally wander into it will experience various auditory hallucinations."
"Ultimately losing their way, they became nourishment for the 'Golden Cicada Envoys'."
"But with Mr. Jiang's abilities, he shouldn't be in any danger."
Jiang Mo nodded: "Thank you for your guidance. I will pay a visit to this 'Golden Cicada Envoy'."
"But before that, I have another question: what exactly are the Seven Star Elementalists?"
"Why is it so powerful that even the combined forces of the Gu God and the Heavenly Gu Sect Master struggle to defeat it?"
Lin Tianyan took a deep breath: "The Seven Star Elementalists are not beings of this world, but rather beings from a higher dimension than us."
"They were originally guardians who maintained the balance of the universe, but for some reason, they were corrupted by chaos and turned into messengers of destruction."
"The reason why the Gu God and the Heavenly Gu Sect Master were able to seal them was because they discovered their weaknesses in time."
“Each elementalist possesses an ‘elemental core.’ Sealing this core will limit their power.”
