Chapter 666 The Erased 'Cognition' of the Tai Xuan Realm

and……

"Didn't Xuan consider this when he was arranging the ceremony?" Bie Xuening asked.

Xuan's abilities are beyond doubt; he shouldn't have made such a mistake.

"Let me explain this," Ning Ruo said, sitting up a little straighter.

“The ritual arranged by Xuan did not take into account the ‘law’ and ‘order’ represented by Tai’s innate authority.”

"But it's not that He didn't consider it; it's more like He didn't know that the final stage of the ritual required the participation of 'law' and 'order'."

Ok?
Xuan Shen is one of the four ancestors of the Cang Clan, how could he not know?
“Ever since the Cang Clan was expelled from the Central Continent and Tai perished, we have never stopped researching the origins of the Cang Clan,” Ning Ruo continued.

Upon hearing this, Bie Xuening glanced at Xu Xing.

"The main purpose of this research is to solve the problem of Xuan being able to 'resurrect' from other Cang clans after his 'death'," Xu Xing explained.

After all, only by knowing the origin of something can we come up with a solution.

“That’s right, that’s the main reason.” Ning Ruo nodded slightly.

Upon hearing this, Bie Xuening's slightly furrowed brows relaxed again:

How is the research progressing?

"no progress."

"Ok?"

No progress?

"Because of the characteristics of Xuan, we cannot retain too many complete bodies of the Cang Clan in the Central Continent."

"Only the special space created by Brother Xu with the 'Sword of Interception' can accommodate some of them in the entire Central Continent."

"However, the small sample size is only one aspect; the real reason lies within the Cang Clan itself."

As they spoke, a strand of immortal net extended from one corner of the light screen, forming another, smaller light screen, within which countless pieces of information flickered—the very results of Ning Ruo's research over the years.

Bie Xuening followed and looked in that direction.

Although not as skilled as other true immortals, skilled at...

emm...

Good at thinking.

But since she was a true immortal, she could still understand these already summarized results.

According to Ning Ruo's research.

The Cang Clan is, as described by 'Heaven,' the most perfect race that can be born within the Dao.

However, the very idea of ​​'perfect' is extreme.

This also means that each member of the Cang Clan is like a highly sophisticated instrument; if even one part fails to fit properly, they will collapse on their own.

This is also why the Cang race, despite being the 'most perfect race,' cannot, like the human race, open the gates to immortality through the 'method of the ultimate Dao' and become 'enlightened beings.'

Bie Xuening quickly read through all the content.

The first half of Ning Ruo's research mainly explains the differences between the 'Cang Clan' and other ethnic groups.

The second half is related to this matter.

The four ancestors of the Cang clan—Gu, Tai, Xuan, and Tian—each wielded and represented different innate powers.

Firstly, the Cang Clan, as the most primordial race in the Tai Xuan Realm, is at the beginning of all living beings, which corresponds to the innate authority of the 'Ancient'.

Furthermore, the Cang Clan, as the most perfect supernatural beings in terms of life structure among all living beings, corresponds to the innate authority of 'Xuan'.

Finally, there is Tian, ​​who, as the incarnation of the will of the Tai Xuan Realm descended to the mortal world, is the last innate Daoist of the Cang Clan, and is no different from ordinary members of the Cang Clan.

Rather than saying that the Cang Clan corresponds to the innate authority it represents, it would be more accurate to say that it itself is modeled after the Cang Clan's life structure.

As for 'too'...

It may sound strange, but the corresponding innate authority characteristics have never been found in any Cang clan before.

“I originally thought that ‘Tai’ had completely perished, and therefore the innate authority he represented had also disappeared from the Cang Clan,” Ning Ruo continued to explain.

"Or perhaps 'Tai's' innate authority corresponds to the Cang Clan as a whole, rather than a single individual."

"Whether it's myself, or the other fellow Daoists, or even Brother Xu, we have always firmly believed in these two 'possibilities'."

These……

What does this have to do with the ceremony?
"I'll explain the rest," Xu Xing said, taking over the conversation.

"In this cleanup of the worlds affected by Xuan, I selected 3,721 worlds that had undergone the ritual."

Three thousand seven hundred and twenty-one rituals were performed, but not a single one was successful.

From the moment he discovered this, he felt something was wrong.

"Later, seventeen more worlds began the ritual again. Sixteen of them failed again, and the remaining one, while not entirely successful, could be considered half successful."

“I dissected His present body and His 108,000 past bodies, and observed His life structure and all His experiences 360,000 times.”

"Only then did I realize that the ritual that Xuan had arranged lacked the integration of 'rule' and 'order' in its final stage."

Perhaps worried that Bie Xuening still hadn't grasped the key point, Xu Xing added another sentence.

“We have studied the Cang Clan for so many years, yet we have not discovered this point at all, and we have not paid any attention to the many rituals left by Xuan. This is very abnormal.”

“That’s right.” Ning Ruo also spoke again, “After Brother Xu discovered this, he immediately went to observe the small part of the Cang Clan’s body that had been preserved.”

Hearing this, Bie Xuening had a vague answer in her heart.

"However, this time, we discovered the innate characteristics of Tai's authority within it."

it is as expected!
"So, before Junior Brother determined that the transformation of the Cang Clan required the integration of 'Law' and 'Order,' neither we nor 'Xuan' realized this?"

"To be more precise, this 'cognition' doesn't exist," Ning Ruo corrected. "It's as if the relevant cognition has been 'erased,' so how can you understand it if it never existed in the first place?"

It's like the realm of immortals.

Because the past history was erased by the 'Heavenly Immortal', it no longer 'exists'.

Therefore, even they could not know what happened in the Immortal Realm 100,000 years ago.

In other words, there are beings at the level of enlightened beings who erased the relevant concepts from the history of the world in the extremely distant past.

If Brother Xu hadn't already touched the 'Source of the Dao' and hadn't had the failure of the transformation ritual as a 'medium', he really wouldn't have discovered this.

"Why did Gu do this?" Bie Xuening asked.

Without a doubt, only the first innate Daoist could achieve this, namely Gu.

"Perhaps they want to conceal the origins of the Cang Clan so that other clans can't target them?" Xu Xing looked at the core of the Immortal Network in front of him.

"But what His purpose was in doing this, I'm afraid only He Himself knows."

If we really want to find a reason for this, we can actually find a reasonable explanation.

But Xu Xing felt that this matter was not so simple.

"In short, let's spread the news that Gu has kept from Xuan to the other side of the starry sky and cause them some trouble."

Xu Xing had no intention of hiding this matter.

After all, from the moment he realized the integration and transformation of 'law' and 'order', this 'cognition' was no longer something that could be erased.

Xuan could easily spot the missing parts of the ritual simply by observing the Cang Clan members around him.

……

……

Several days later, on the front lines of the starry sky.

Two Dao soldiers, hidden in the starry sky, faced each other from afar, their emanating power directly dividing the battlefield into two distinct parts.

On the other side of the starry sky, several figures with vast energy and perfect appearances stood side by side.

Whether sacred or boundless, their aura possesses a sense of transcendence and perfect harmony, as if there were no more perfect existence in the world.

Each of them is a member of the Cang Clan at the Cave True level, and is known as a 'Heavenly General'.

However, at this moment, he was frowning.

Looking across, towards the side closest to the four major star regions.

At this moment, several figures of varying heights and with powerful auras were fully demonstrating what 'body cultivation and elegant speech' meant, under the protection of the images left by the true immortal ancestors of the seven great immortal sects.

When he got excited, a wisp of his vital energy couldn't help but escape, instantly forming a nebula-like canopy that permeated the heavens.

Unlike the "steadiness" of the Supreme Daoist School, which only emerged after a period of great change.

The lack of manners in the Dragon Elephant Sky-Supporting Sect has existed since the sect's founding; otherwise, the 'Stop the War' series of arenas wouldn't exist.

It's just that high-level body cultivators are generally better able to control themselves.

It started with a series of 'friendly' greetings.

At first, the Dongzhen Cang clan members could still say a few words back, but they were quickly 'subdued' by the body cultivators' shamelessness and loud voices.

All I could do was listen to their insults with a dark expression.

"Hahaha! That Xuan, that damn thing, always thought Gu was the devil, but it turns out He's the biggest devil!"

"He doesn't seem to have a brain, otherwise how could he have been fooled by that bastard Gu for so many years?"

"He thought he was so awesome, but guess what? The one who was the best was actually himself."

Amidst the strange and ambiguous atmosphere, the body cultivator successfully completed his task.

But they did not stop there; instead, their cursing became increasingly refined and dignified.

One or two even used the Incarnation Technique, filling the entire Starry Sky Frontline Battlefield with deafening 'body cultivation rhetoric'.

They should also pay attention to their personal image, after all, they are considered elders in their own right, and it's not good to insult them too harshly.

but now!
They were acting on the orders of their patriarch!
Of course I have to enjoy myself to the fullest...

Cough!

Of course, we can't just focus on our personal image; fulfilling the mission entrusted to us by our ancestors is the right path!
Body cultivators are truly the most selfless group of cultivators in the Tai Xuan Realm!
Behind them, the other guardians from the immortal sects and the righteous alliance looked somewhat uneasy.

When the patriarch gave out the task, these brutes were all quite the show-offs, claiming they had cultivated their character for many years, and some even accused them of having a prejudice against body cultivation...

They even felt a little guilty at the time.

When they actually started arguing, they all shouted louder and used more vulgar language than the other!

The excitement on his face was impossible to hide!

……

……

Deep beyond the starry sky.

A vast temple formed of purple aura sits amidst the stars, the surging purple aura seemingly expounding the mysteries and truths of the world.

At the very center of the Purple Qi Dojo, Xuan Jing sat quietly on a purple platform.

Before Him, five members of the Cang Clan sat quietly, their cultivation levels varying.

From the 'Divine Forging Realm' corresponding to the Divine Transformation Realm all the way to the limit of the True Insight Realm.

Xuan's face was blurry, and his indifferent purple eyes swept over them one by one, finally settling on the Cang Clan member with the lowest cultivation level, the one who had reached the Divine Forging Realm.

There was no superfluous power in his gaze, yet it still made the Cang Clan member at the Divine Forging Realm feel immense pressure, leaving him extremely uneasy.

"The unification of 'law' and 'order'..." Xuan sighed softly, "You should go back."

"Yes!"

Seeing the respectful response from several members of the Cang Clan, Xuan waved his hand gently.

The purple aura then rose up, engulfing them and sending them back to their original place.

After finishing all this, Xuan raised his head and looked at the surrounding stars.

The further away from the central mainland, the scarcer the resources.

But unlike when it was desolate when we first arrived, the other side of the starry sky has been transformed and is not much different from the four major star regions.

Just ...

It was a bit deserted.

No matter how much He improves the environment on the other side of the starry sky, the Cang Clan is left with only so many people after the great war, and they can't make it lively even if they want to.

The underlying tone of the other side of the starry sky is always loneliness...

When the Sword Ancestor was condensing the 'Origin Anchor' in the outer world, He casually arranged some rituals.

It's not that I want the transformed Cang Clan to play a significant role; I mainly want to make this other side of the starry sky more lively...

In retrospect, it seems to have been a complete failure.

He sighed again in his heart, rose from the purple platform, and took a step forward.

His figure vanished directly from the vast purple aura dojo.

When it reappeared, it had arrived above a planet that it had transformed, a planet with an excellent environment.

Looking down over the mountains, rivers, snow valleys, and everything else on this planet.

It is inhabited by some races that came from the four major star regions to the other side of the starry sky. The administrator is a human who once came from the Supreme Dao Sect and ran away.

He once piloted the Daoist Soldier Sacred Beast to charge into the human race's front lines twelve times, achieving remarkable feats.

That's why he was appointed as a manager.

Just as I was pondering this, a seven-colored light suddenly appeared.

It landed beside Xuan, transforming into a phantom-like, transparent being with a halo of time behind its head, a majestic presence.

"Xuan! I..."

"No need to explain, I know what you're trying to do." Xuan interrupted Him directly, his tone indifferent. "If I knew, the erased 'cognition' would still exist, and the human race would also notice."

Gu paused for a moment.

That's exactly what He was going to say.

Can……

When did Xuan become so easy to talk to?
So...you don't blame me?

"Why should I blame you?" Xuan remained calm.

Gu still felt something was off.

"After all, I'm used to your stupidity, and this incident isn't too significant."

Upon hearing this, Gu felt a surge of anger, but also a strange sense of relief.

That's more like it!
Just as He was about to say something more, He noticed that Xuan was looking over.

The indifferent purple eyes stared calmly at Him, a hint of something indescribable flashing within them, making Gu feel a little uneasy.

"The origin of the Cang Clan..."

After saying just a few words, Xuan stopped talking and turned back to take a deep look at the planet below.

He took a step forward, and his figure vanished again, leaving only a distant sentence:

"Be more careful next time."

Gu was left standing there, seemingly still not having reacted.

Soon after, Gu also vanished in a wisp of seven-colored light.
