The Ancient Gods' Whisper-Chapter 758 - 365: Ancient History, the Secret of Qing and Chi
"It is understandable why Buzhou Mountain desires the Shifting Flower and Wood Secret Technique; they crave power intensely."
Jing Ci raised his hand, and the fragments of the tea set floated in the air.
As if time had reversed, the shattered fragments reassembled into a complete, brand-new tea set.
He brewed himself a pot of tea, raising his eyes: "What I don’t understand is, what do you all intend to do?"
Jiang Chunyang suddenly squinted his eyes, a phantom wind whistling in his pupils.
"Years ago, when the You Ying Group planned that operation against the Lishan Tiyan Pavilion, I initially intended to wipe you all out. However, when I arrived in Tokyo, I discovered you weren’t researching the Spirit Coffin."
Jing Ci raised his head and sipped his tea: "In the entire Dark World, there’s not a single Spirit Coffin."
Jiang Chunyang forcibly suppressed the madness in his mind, rasping: "There are only a handful of patients with Frida’s Schizophrenia worldwide, they’re not easy to find."
Jing Ci shook his head: "That statement might be believable coming from someone else, but from your mouth, it’s rather absurd. Who are you, after all? Reflect on your past—how did you spend your legendary life of over four hundred years? The things you fancy, you always seize openly."
Given the immense power held by the You Ying Group, finding a patient with Frida’s Schizophrenia wouldn’t be difficult at all. Even if they couldn’t find one, they could snatch one. No one could stop them.
No matter how strong the Ether Association is, they can’t always be wary of an opponent of their own level.
"A peerless talent like Thunder, naturally protected by the Grandmaster herself."
Jing Ci took out a folded list from his pocket, placed it on the stone table, and handed it over, saying calmly: "With just a casual search, I found so many patients with Frida’s Schizophrenia, three of whom were born in Hokkaido. With your abilities, how could you not keep an eye on those right near your doorstep?"
"The only explanation is that what you seek isn’t the Coffin Secret Skill."
He smiled and said: "But something else instead."
Jiang Chunyang remained silent for a long time, then turned to leave.
"If you’re just here to say these pointless words, then you can go."
He turned his back, his pale long hair swaying in the wind: "Or you could also fight me."
Jing Ci gazed at his retreating figure, speaking calmly: "It seems the teacher was right; it is indeed the common ailment of your older generation. Once exposed, you either become indignant with shame or play dumb."
Jiang Chunyang walked deeper into the courtyard on his own, cherry blossoms drifting down in a desolate dance.
"Quite coincidentally, the teacher just recounted a story to me."
Jing Ci held his teacup, gazing at the post-rain sky, his vision seemingly piercing the heavens, reaching into the depths of the Universe: "Had I not heard that story, I wouldn’t have looked into this matter so deeply. If I remember correctly, your Think Tank had also ventured into the depths of the Qilin Immortal Palace."
"I don’t know if he encountered the Black Supreme, but one thing is certain."
His fingers lightly tapped the teacup, producing a rhythmic sound: "Your Think Tank entered the second level of the Qilin Immortal Palace early. If our speculations are correct, once the Qilin Venerable completes its ascent, it will evolve into the most powerful being in the world. What will it do then?"
Jiang Chunyang was plunged into a prolonged silence.
Now, with the gate to the second level of the Qilin Immortal Palace open, all factions have dispatched vanguards to explore the unknown world. The Ether Association and the You Ying Group hold the greatest advantages, having sent Cheaters many years in advance to explore and meticulously navigate the Ancient God Realm.
The Cheater for the Ether Association is Gu Ci’an.
The Cheater for the You Ying Group is the Think Tank.
They both had explored the Ancient God Realm and uncovered extremely obscure secrets.
"I’ve always been curious. Even though the Dark World has been shattered twice, after all these years of development, its foundation isn’t weak. You were originally people split from the Order World, among the strongest Ascenders in the world. Why, then, do you keep losing ground in the first level’s struggle?"
Jing Ci, poised and composed, hit the nail on the head: "Because you are feigning weakness."
Jiang Chunyang turned around, his deep eyes fixed on him, his voice drifting and hoarse: "How can you tell?"
"Because there is a tomb in the second level of the Qilin Immortal Palace."
Jing Ci softly said: "That was the true tomb built by the Qilin Venerable for itself. It is not in the third level, the prison meant to confine it. What you seek is the contents of the tomb."
At this moment, Jiang Chunyang’s eyes finally revealed a frantic madness and murderous intent. The Divine Path is the easiest to spiral into madness, and he himself was eroded by the curse of the Candle Light Divine Tree.
The last thread of sanity snapped like a string.
He truly wished to kill this man here at any cost.
"I am really curious about what the tomb contains that makes it so important to you."
Jing Ci earnestly asked: "Is this a secret of your older generation? You pride yourselves as the rulers of the world, grasping those ancient taboos in your hands. Over two hundred years ago, the President of the Ether Association, Taiqing, foresaw the future through some secret method, prophesying that the world’s end would come with the Qilin Immortal Palace’s advent."
"Thus, the Ether Association decided to initiate the Starry Sky Plan, gathering all the world’s resources based on an ancient prophecy passed down from Ancient Times, discovering two infants, and bringing them back to the Order World."
He sighed: "Taiqing and Taihua, the strongest couple in the world, personally nurtured these two children. The children exhibited unimaginable talents, almost surpassing human limits, even making the Ancient God Clan feel a sense of dread. At the age of ten, they possessed the strength to oppose the Primordials."
Jiang Chunyang hadn’t heard anyone mention those past events in a long time.
For a moment, he felt a bit dazed.
Because he was also a proposer and participant of this plan.
He personally witnessed the monsters grow step by step.
Feeling gratified at times, occasionally fearful.
No.
Perhaps fear was indeed more prevalent.
Especially when the two monsters returned from the depths of space.
"Humans can only defeat the Ancient God Clan if they don’t rely on powers seized from them."
Jing Ci raised a finger: "If that’s the case, humans can never truly defeat them. What you seek is the origin of the Ancient God Clan—where they came from and what secrets they hide."
Jiang Chunyang recalled the rockets soaring into the sky, letting out a long sigh.
"The Ether Association was the earliest organization to launch a space program. Over a century before this world, you even developed manned rockets, using alchemy technique to grant yourselves talents well beyond the era."
Jing Ci silently chuckled: "You personally forged monsters feared by both humans and the Ancient God Clan, and then sent those two monsters into space with your own hands. Relying on their immense powers and with the aid of alchemy technology, these two deviants truly traveled to the depths of the Universe, like tracing back to distant ancient times."
"They roamed the Universe’s depths, unearthing countless ancient secrets."
He laughed: "And when they returned from the depths of the stars, the era had changed."
Jiang Chunyang took a deep breath, his gaze growing darker.
"Because you found that you could no longer control the two monsters. They had grown too powerful, even exhibiting strength beyond human limits, making them as daunting as the Ancient God Clan."
Jing Ci spoke slowly and clearly: "Thus, the concept of Catastrophe was born, as they discovered the legendary You Ying Law, a force strong enough to rival the Candle Light Law."
"One’s name is Qing, the other’s Chi."
He smiled and asked: "Is that correct?"
