Chapter 966 Ancient Secrets
"interesting……"

In the illusory starry sky, Chu Mu seemed to sense something, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he chuckled.

The authority of Tianxin temporarily belongs to him. Although it is restricted, his perception is also limited to this starry sky.

But that dark gold palace also seemed to be within the scope of this starry sky.

Although he had not deliberately sensed it, he still maintained a sense of vigilance and fed back all the information about him immediately.

At this moment, the men and women standing outside the Dark Gold Hall had already retreated. Emperor Heng looked up into the void, and seemed to have noticed Chu Mu's perception.

"It made fellow Taoists laugh."

Emperor Heng forced a smile, bowed, then turned and walked into the hall.

When the palace door closed, the originally clear perception was also completely cut off along with the closing of the palace door.

Although this disconnection seemed insignificant under the authority he currently possessed, Chu Mu even felt that he only needed to make a slight touch to break through the boundaries and completely master this Tianxin authority.

But if he acts like this, he will completely break off relations with Daheng.

Moreover, it is a blatant act of ingratitude.

Of course, Chu Mu also didn’t think that this Emperor Heng would not leave any backup plan as a precaution.

Naturally, there is no need for him to do meaningless things.

Chu Mu calmed his mind and immersed himself in the illusion of the sea of ​​stars again.

About a year passed before Chu Mu slowly opened his eyes. He took a step forward, and under the influence of Tianxin's authority, in an instant, he seemed to have crossed thousands of miles and appeared in another virtual starry sky.

Under the guidance of Tianxin's authority, this sea of ​​stars does not have too many mysteries.

Simply put, it depends on the years.

The starry sea is expanding all the time, and the energy for the expansion comes from the souls of the cultivators who have the seal of enlightenment but have fallen in this era.

The deeper you go into the starry sea, the older each starry sea mark is from the present era.

In the deepest part of the sea of ​​stars, one can even glimpse the existence of the starry sea marks of the ancient heavenly palace.

However, the older the time, the deeper the mark is connected with this sea of ​​stars and the heart of the sky, and the information retained by the mark becomes incomplete.

The filth brought by peeping at its mark is obviously getting stronger and stronger, and it is even beginning to have the power of time to erode the soul and will.

Under such changes, Chu Mu could only be extra careful and did not dare to spy on the mark of the star sea as recklessly as he did at the edge of the star sea.

At some point, under Chu Mu's careful probing, a mark that had been dormant in the depths of the starry sea for who knows how many years was finally included in his spiritual perception.

As his mind moved, the life of this ancient monk appeared in his spiritual perception like a movie.

Compared to his previous perception of the mark that seemed like a reincarnation, the mark image presented in this way was less burdensome and dangerous for him.

As the images flowed, he also sensed the life of an ancient monk.

Although a lot of key information has been completely swallowed up by Tianxin, some common information is still intact.

From these remaining information, we can roughly get a glimpse of the life journey of this ancient monk.

He was born in the Heavenly Palace, grew up in the Heavenly Palace, and eventually achieved the Golden Elixir Real Person. He served the Heavenly Palace all his life, which was plain and ordinary, without too many ups and downs, and without any danger, until the end of his life.

Even so, when the picture faded, Chu Mu was speechless for a long time.

Judging from the video footage, the era in which this person lived should be the time when the Heavenly Palace was on the verge of collapse.

The catastrophe caused by the demon invasion has become a legend.

The world-destroying catastrophe caused by the Sand-tailed Scorpion Queen has also passed.

Judging from the few ancient history books available today, the Heavenly Palace of this era was already on the brink of collapse.

But judging from the hundreds of years of life of these people, thousands of years have passed since the Sand-tailed Scorpion Catastrophe, and the order of the Heavenly Palace has been rebuilt. The Heavenly Palace, which has been reborn from the ashes, is just like the Changsheng Sect in the past, and it seems to be thriving after a great destruction and reconstruction.

The whole world is united and order is stable. This person has been in charge of a place for hundreds of years and has never encountered any major danger. From this point alone, it is not difficult to see the stability of the Heavenly Palace.

"So, it also suddenly encountered an irresistible disaster and collapsed rapidly in a short period of time?"

Chu Mu was thoughtful.

Isn't the Changsheng Sect the best example...

Reborn from the ashes, it devoured the world, but was suddenly ravaged by demons and monsters. Now it is hiding in the northern border, on the verge of collapse...

After thinking for a moment, Chu Mu looked at the other bright and shining light marks, and his spiritual sense extended out, sensing, sensing, and sensing again.

A series of broken pictures of life originating from the ancient heavenly palace era also appeared.

As time goes by, some vague patterns begin to emerge.

These marks in the depths of the starry sea may be because they are too old, or perhaps because they are too deeply integrated with Tianxin.

They are all extremely dilapidated, and the rules of dilapidation are mostly at the level of practicing martial arts.

An ordinary life experience, but it is still barely complete.

The memory information related to the level of spiritual practice is all incomplete.

Obviously, these memories of cultivation were all transformed into the nourishment of the Heaven Realm by Tian Xin's refining of the false into the true.

As for why the marks on the periphery of the starry sea have never been worn away or damaged, judging from the age, it is very likely because the Heavenly Palace collapsed and lost human control, so it has never been damaged and can only rely on the instinct of time to wear it away.

"really……"

I don’t know how many marks in the depths of the starry sea have been checked, but with the filling of a huge amount of ancient memory information, the real cause of the destruction of the ancient heavenly palace has also been summarized.

It was no different from what he had guessed.

Probably five thousand years after the Tianyan sacred beast was suppressed, the originally peaceful order of the Heavenly Palace also showed signs of change.

The Soul Purification Plan, which had been well-organized, began to mobilize the monks from the Heavenly Palace on a large scale.

This went on for thousands of years. A large number of Heavenly Palace monks died. Although it did not cause instability in the order of the Heavenly Palace, it made people restless and no longer as peaceful as before.

Nearly a thousand years passed like this, and one day, the heavenly order that had become almost commonplace for countless cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation suddenly disappeared.

The sky realm disappeared, and the mark that restricted countless cultivators like an iron law also lost its effectiveness.

The Heavenly Palace still exists, but the order centered on the Center of Heaven is gone!

The human hearts, which had been forcibly bound by the Heavenly Palace for countless years, completely burst out after this order disappeared.

In just a few hundred years, the peaceful era when the Heavenly Palace dominated the world was gone.

Rites and music collapsed, and people's hearts were in turmoil.

If it were just that, the Heavenly Palace would not collapse.

After all, this is still a world of immortal cultivation where all power is concentrated in one's own body, and the strong are respected.

Speaking of the strong, in that era, the Heavenly Palace was filled with strong people. Even if there was no Tianxin order, violent suppression alone was enough to suppress the world and any disobedience.

In the face of absolute power, human hearts are the most insignificant existence.

But the problem is that after the Tianxin of the Heavenly Palace of that era disappeared, the absolute power that suppressed the world seemed to disappear as well.

After hundreds of years of turmoil, in the beginning, the strong men in the Heavenly Palace who suppressed the world would often appear, suppressing disobedience and maintaining the rule of the Heavenly Palace.

But as time goes by, fewer and fewer powerful people from the Heavenly Palace appear...
