I am the first emperor of the ancient times

Chapter 153 Duan De’s true form, Cao Yusheng!
In the ruined ancient temple, Ying Hao was looking around carefully. The remaining traces in the ancient temple were very old and should have been left behind long ago.

There are words engraved on some stone surfaces, but they are very different from the words used in today's era and can only be vaguely recognized by relying on the imprint of the avenue.

"In ancient times, there were other creatures who lived in the underworld!" Ying Hao thought to himself.

The underworld is related to the being above the Tao, but this does not mean that everything in the underworld was created by the being above the Tao.

This is actually easy to understand. What kind of existence are the creatures above the sacrificial path? The only thing that can interest him is the mystery of reincarnation.

According to his judgment, the creatures above the sacrificial path should have made attempts related to reincarnation outside the heavens and all realms.

Later, the creatures on the sacrificial path had problems of their own and had no time to care about the underworld, so everything in the underworld fell into ruin.

Long ago, other people discovered the underworld and became very interested in the reincarnation created by the creatures above the sacrificial path.

Perhaps a powerful tribe discovered the reincarnation created by the creatures on the sacrificial path and regarded this place as a holy place.

Thus, the vast world of the underworld came into being. For example, the ancient palace where he was now was built by later generations.

Perhaps after a long time, the strange clan came to the underworld, and the race occupying the underworld was killed.

The Weird Clan became the new masters of the underworld for a long time, and no one could challenge the Weird Clan's status.

This was not a random guess on his part, but the most reasonable conclusion based on the various remaining traces.

"What a shame! Such a good place is wasted!" Ying Hao thought to himself.

Now he has a certain understanding of the strange clan. In his opinion, the strange clan is like a locust.

Wherever the strange clan goes, they destroy everything, and the number of worlds and creatures buried is countless.

Just like the underworld, it is obviously an unparalleled place that contains the creation of reincarnation. Why not manage it well?

Over the long years, it may be possible to perfect reincarnation bit by bit, and thus control the supreme creation of reincarnation.

But as he walked along, all he saw was ruin and desolation. It was obvious that over the long years, the strange creatures had never managed the underworld properly.

Such an unenterprising tribe, if it weren't for the fact that the Weird Tribe was too powerful, the Weird Tribe would have become a thing of the past long ago.

Of course, strange matter is the foundation. Even if the strange clan is destroyed, as long as the strange matter is still there, a new strange clan will appear again.

"He actually wants to study reincarnation?" Duan De thought to himself.

He originally thought that Emperor Haotian was joking, but he didn't expect that Emperor Haotian was actually studying the ruined ancient temple.

How big a heart does one need to have to study the mystery of reincarnation in today's dangerous environment?
Time flies. While Ying Hao was studying the ancient temple, time passed by unknowingly, and in the blink of an eye, nearly ten years had passed.

What made Duan De feel a little relieved was that the ruined ancient temple was very desolate and there were no old monsters lurking in it.

"Huh? This place is actually connected to other places!" Ying Hao said, looking ahead.

Not far from the ruined ancient temple, there is a very magnificent temple, which is completely different from other ancient temples.

It goes without saying that the temple is definitely extraordinary and approaching it may bring unpredictable dangers.

But he still slowly approached the temple. The ten-year period was about to end and the mission was about to be completed, so he no longer had many concerns.

When we arrived near the magnificent palace, we were surprised to find it so quiet. There were no strong guards and no powerful formations.

"I think it's better for us not to go in!" Duan De said in a low voice.

He really couldn't understand what Emperor Haotian was thinking. Ever since he came to the underworld, he always felt that Emperor Haotian was weird.

It would be fine if he was just studying the mystery of reincarnation, but now he has rashly barged into an unusual-looking ancient temple.

Ying Hao didn't care about Duan De's thoughts and slowly walked into the ancient temple. Just as he had sensed, there were no living creatures here.

When viewed from the outside, the ancient temple is actually not very big, but once you enter it, it feels like you have entered another world.

Looking around, there is a huge gear, rotating stone tools, and terrible pipes connected together in the ancient temple.

Countless corpses were continuously transported from a certain pipeline, then entered the gear stone room and were minced into meat paste.

Afterwards, after repeated quenching and multiple extractions, a certain substance is extracted from it and gathers in a certain place.

"It seems that the weird clan didn't do nothing!" Ying Hao muttered to himself.

Although the strange clan did not develop the underworld well and study the mystery of reincarnation, they used the underworld as a war machine.

For example, these things in front of us are obviously the essence of life extracted from countless creatures, and should be used to cultivate strong people.

This is actually no different from the supreme beings in the lower world back then. The supreme beings used living beings to sustain their own lives, while the weird clan used living beings to strengthen themselves.

He couldn't help but think of the great sacrifice. Every once in a while, the strange clan would launch a great sacrifice, burying an entire era and sacrificing countless lives.

The great sacrifice is to exchange for powerful strength, at the cost of sacrificing countless lives, to continue the power and immortality of the strange clan.

He walked to the bottom of the stone tool, where there was a pool. The pool was not big, only one meter square. At this time, the pool was filled with some kind of liquid, and he could smell the rich breath of life in it.

Life is undoubtedly a magical thing. When in the lower universe, the supreme beings who should have decayed were able to prolong their own immortality with the lives of countless creatures.

The liquid in the pool actually has a similar effect, but compared to the Supremes devouring billions of lives, the liquid in the pool is more refined.

According to his judgment, only one drop of medicine is needed to make the Supreme immortal. If more is drunk, it can even allow the Supreme who has reached the highest level to continue living.

In other words, this pool of medicinal liquid is actually a miraculous medicine of inestimable value, but such a miraculous medicine can only make him feel extremely disgusted.

Because this was not a pool of precious liquid, but a pool of living beings. He seemed to hear the wailing of countless living beings in the pool.

Suddenly, Ying Hao's expression changed slightly, because he saw a piece of rhizome in the pool, which should belong to a certain plant.

There is a plant whose roots have extended into the pond and is constantly absorbing the liquid from the pond.

"Could this be the Lotus of Eternal Reincarnation?" Ying Hao thought to himself.

As far as he knew, the creature on the sacrificial path had once planted a lotus as an ornamental plant, named the Lotus of Eternal Reincarnation.

The strong ones above the level of the Sacrifice Dao may not care, but since it can be planted by such a strong person personally, it goes without saying that the Lotus of Eternal Reincarnation must be extraordinary.

This is indeed the case. The Lotus of Eternal Reincarnation is very special. It is said that one leaf represents one era, and only one leaf can grow in one era.

As far as he knew, anything related to the creature above the sacrificial way was not simple. A flower seed once created a brilliant cultivation system.

That was a long time ago. The Pollen Road cultivation system was once extremely brilliant in the heavens, and gave birth to many powerful Immortal Emperors.

But all of this originated from a seed, and this seed is actually just a flower for the creatures on the sacrificial path to admire.

This made him think, if ornamental flowers can have this effect, does the Lotus of Eternal Reincarnation have the same effect?
A supreme road is right before our eyes. It is hard not to have some ideas and to try to explore the mysteries within it.

Ying Hao was no exception. He wanted to dig up the pond and take a look at the rhizome of the Eternal Reincarnation Lotus, and it would be best if he could study it in detail.

But before he could do anything, an inexplicable aura suddenly emerged and a voice sounded in his ears.

"I advise you not to move!"

Ying Hao turned around and saw a fat Taoist priest with ragged clothes and a bloated look, who looked almost exactly like Duan De.

Duan De’s real body is Cao Yusheng!

Before he could go find Cao Yusheng, Cao Yusheng came to him on his own, which was an unexpected surprise.

"Do you know what this is?" Ying Hao asked.

He just suspected that the rhizome belonged to the Lotus of Eternal Reincarnation, but he was not sure whether it was.

But it is not difficult to hear from what Cao Yusheng said just now that Cao Yusheng should be familiar with that piece of rhizome.

This is actually not surprising. Cao Yusheng has been lurking in the underworld for many years. It would be strange if he didn't know the secrets of the underworld.

"Young people nowadays! Are they so brave?" Cao Yusheng sighed.

He was actually very helpless, because he had long felt that his soul had arrived in the underworld, but no matter how long he waited, the soul still did not show up.

He originally thought that something had happened to the split soul, so he had to risk going out, and it was with great difficulty that he finally found the split soul.

He didn't expect that he was almost scared to death when he saw the split soul, and the person in front of him was so bold and presumptuous.

He actually didn't know what that piece of rhizome was, but what he knew was that anyone who touched it would definitely die a miserable death.

Fortunately, he arrived in time. If he had arrived a little later, it would have been a catastrophe and his soul would have died without knowing how it died.

"Master, why are you here?" Duan De said in surprise.

He now felt that Emperor Haotian's decision was actually useful. They did not go looking for the real body, but the real body came on its own.

Compared with the dangers of going deep into the underworld, being able to successfully see the real body here is undoubtedly the best outcome.

"I was just about to ask you. What were you doing deep in the underworld for such a long time?" Cao Yusheng said unhappily.

If he wasn't worried about the emergence of his split soul, how could he have risked coming out?

Of course, what is more crucial is what the split soul said. He has been pursuing it for a long time and does not want to give up any hope.

However, when he learned from the split soul that the two split souls had stayed here for nearly ten years to study reincarnation, he was speechless for a moment.

What is reincarnation?
That was something he couldn't even figure out, and these two people in front of him wanted to study the mystery of reincarnation?

Not to mention ten years, even if it’s a thousand years or ten thousand years, can these two people figure it out?
Then, his gaze focused on Ying Hao. Is this the person that the split soul was talking about?
Is this the possible hope?
