“That’s because the entire Penglai Island was punished by the heavens! The heavenly Dao didn’t tolerate it and erased its existence.”
The ball of light’s words made everyone freeze on the spot.
The Tai Qing Sect could understand every word, but when put together, the information contained in it simply subverted their worldview.
Ye Xuan said in disbelief, “The heavenly Dao can’t tolerate it and erased its existence…”
If that was the case, then it was understandable why Penglai Immortal Island had become a legendary existence and was rarely known by the world. There were no records of it in the relevant ancient books.
“What exactly happened that year that caused the entire Island to be punished by the heavens and disappear into the long river of history?”
Even the ball of light couldn’t answer this question.
“We don’t know either. When we were sent out by our ancestors and found a place to settle down, our ancestors returned to Penglai Island. From then on, we lost contact and never heard from our ancestors again.”
The ancestors of the Penglai Immortal Beasts should have been in the same situation as Penglai Island.
This matter seemed to have touched the ball of light’s sore spot. It said, “My memory from a thousand years ago is too vague. I can’t remember it clearly. I only know that something big seemed to have happened on the island.”
After all, the ball of light had been dead for too long, and with the corrosion of the black Qi, many of its memories were incomplete. After asking for a long time, Ye Xuan still didn’t get an answer.
“By the way, there’s something I’m curious about. When you were controlled by the black Qi, you kept chasing after me because of this Penglai Immortal Stone. Is there something special about this stone?”
The ball of light looked at the stone in Ye Xuan’s hand with a complicated gaze, and finally, let out a long sigh.
“This stone is very important to both the Penglai Immortal Island and us.”
Seeing that it didn’t want to talk about it, Ye Xuan didn’t press it.
Under the guidance of the ball of light, Ye Xuan and the others were unimpeded and did not encounter any attacks from demonic beasts. They arrived at the deepest part of the Penglai secret realm.
The ball of light sang a song that was difficult to understand. It was as if it was an ancient language, and a passage appeared in front of everyone.
They didn’t know how long they had walked in the long and deep cave, but the road in front of them didn’t end. In addition, the environment was extremely dark.
In their daze, everyone had the illusion that if they continued walking, they would reach the nine circles of hell.
Finally, the ball of light stopped. It announced, “We’ve arrived.”
The scene in front of them suddenly opened up. They had arrived in a huge underground palace. This was the place where the remaining Penglai Immortal Beasts had been sealed.
Looking at the lifelike statues around them, the statues looked like tigers but were not tigers. They had deer horns on their heads and seemed charmingly naive. Their eyes were clearly closed, but they gave people a feeling that they were about to come to life.
“You…” Ye Xuan couldn’t help but ask, “Is this your original appearance?”
“Yes.”
Ye Xuan sensed a weak life aura on these statues. In one way, that man didn’t lie to the Penglai Immortal Beasts.
It was true that the remaining clansmen had been sealed up to prevent them from suffering the curse of not being able to transform. This was the reason why the bloodline of the Penglai Immortal Beasts continued to this day.
But there was something Ye Xuan didn’t quite understand. Although it was a seal, the life force of these Penglai Immortal Beasts shouldn’t be so weak. They were like candles in the wind, in danger of being extinguished at any time.
After all, their race was extremely talented, and they were extremely powerful in both combat power and cultivation.
“Why is the vitality aura so weak?”
The ball of light also noticed that something was wrong with its clansmen. It asked, “How could this be? ”
At this moment, the other people from the Tai Qing Sect seemed to have discovered something. Someone said, “Elder Ye, come over quickly and take a look.”
Ye Xuan walked over and saw that in the middle of the statues, there was an altar. It was carved with incomprehensible patterns and symbols.
Although he didn’t know what the altar was for, it gave people an extremely uncomfortable feeling. A cold and gloomy aura hit them in the face.
It was covered with old, dark red stains, which were probably left a long time ago. If he was not wrong, this was the sacrificial altar that the Penglai Immortal Beasts had offered to the man.
Resentment, injustice, and all kinds of negative emotions were intertwined, and anyone who saw the altar would be affected.
Ye Xuan hurriedly asked the people of the Tai Qing Sect to stay away.
Even though the Penglai Immortal Beasts had offered up their lives voluntarily back then, after such a long time, these negative emotions had accumulated over time. In addition to the influence of the black Qi, they had long been distorted beyond recognition.
“How did the altar become like this?!”
The startled ball of light’s statement also confirmed Ye Xuan’s guess. If these dark things in the altar burst out, the first to be affected would be the sealed Penglai Immortal Beasts next to it.
“Could it be that the altar is also the reason why they are so weak?”
Pure spiritual power burst out of Ye Xuan’s fingertips and he wiped it on his eyes. In an instant, his eyes shone with golden light, as if a God had descended and could see through all illusions.
Sure enough, with the altar as the center, a faint black line spread out in all directions, connecting to the statues.
“What is going on?”
Ye Xuan frowned. He said, “As you can see, the black Qi is constantly absorbing their vitality. It’s not very strong, but it’s accumulated over time, weakening the Penglai Immortal Beasts in the seal.”
He had a premonition that the man in the ball of light’s recount of events was playing a very big game of chess. Whether it was the Penglai Immortal Beasts that had been sacrificed earlier or the ones that were sealed now, they were all just his chess pieces.
“A thousand years have passed. I didn’t expect that not only did we fail to find a way to break the curse, but we were almost used by someone. I thought we had a chance of survival, but we didn’t expect it to be a dead end!”
