The Whale in the Mountains
Chapter 431 Old Matters of the Past
"What is the Huashen realm?"
Chen Xiao was slightly stunned.
"You don't know?"
Tu Junhou was even more shocked. "Having divine consciousness is the biggest sign of the Huashen realm. You already possess divine consciousness, yet you don't even know what the Huashen realm is?"
It seemed that Tu Junhou had no intention of escaping anymore.
In fact, after learning that Chen Xiao possessed divine consciousness, he gave up the idea of escaping, because there was no way he could run away.
Chen Xiao tentatively asked, "Is the Huashen realm the next stage after the Yuanying realm?"
Chen Xiao's understanding of the cultivation level divisions in this world came from Gu Zhendong, and Gu Zhendong had only mentioned the Yuanying realm at most.
"So you really don't know!"
Tu Junhou's face was full of disbelief. "Then how did you come to possess divine consciousness? In that case, you're not a disciple of a hidden sect either?"
"Of course not."
Chen Xiao shook his head.
"This is really strange. You're not a disciple of a hidden sect, yet your strength can be so strong... Could it be because of the Yin-Yang Jade?"
Tu Junhou suddenly looked curious, his eyes burning as he gazed at Chen Xiao's chest.
Chen Xiao's expression instantly darkened.
"Are you testing me? You should know that with just a thought, I can annihilate your Yuanying!"
Tu Junhou was frightened, his eyes shrinking, and he quickly said with a flattering smile, "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare..."
Having transformed into a Yuanying body, he no longer possessed the arrogance and dominance he had before.
This was also related to the nature of the Yuanying body. Although cultivators who could possess a Yuanying body were indeed powerful, the Yuanying body itself was very fragile.
Relatively speaking, it was almost the same as a newborn infant.
Chen Xiao also realized that Tu Junhou was afraid and wouldn't dare to play tricks in front of him.
Therefore, he wasn't in a hurry to ask about the Yin-Yang Jade. Instead, he first asked, "Judging from what you just said, if I weren't a disciple of a hidden sect, I shouldn't be this strong?"
"That's right!"
Tu Junhou said, "Without the empowerment of a hidden sect, cultivators simply cannot break through to the Yuanying realm, let alone the Huashen realm! However, your cultivation system seems to be a bit different from others..."
Hearing Tu Junhou's words, Chen Xiao became even more puzzled.
"Without the empowerment of a hidden sect, you can't even break through to the Yuanying realm? Then how did you break through to the Yuanying realm?"
"Because I was originally a disciple of a hidden sect, the Chiyue Sect. I had already been empowered by my sect when I was eighteen years old."
Tu Junhou said with a wry smile, "It's just that the Chiyue Sect was destroyed a long time ago. I am the last remaining disciple of the Chiyue Sect. Once the Chiyue Sect was destroyed, I ended up in the secular world..."
"Who is so powerful that they can destroy a hidden sect?"
Chen Xiao asked with interest.
However, when Tu Junhou heard this, he asked in return, "You don't know?"
Seeing Chen Xiao looking confused, clearly unaware, Tu Junhou helplessly said, "Who else could it be but your father, Chen Sihai!"
Chen Xiao was suddenly shocked, and then said coldly, "Chen Sihai is not my father. More than twenty years ago, even you dared to snatch the Yin-Yang Jade from him. Could he have destroyed your sect? Are you bluffing me?"
"Mr. Chen, my little life is in your hands. How dare I bluff you!"
Tu Junhou said repeatedly, "I didn't expect you to know about me snatching his Yin-Yang Jade. Since that's the case, why don't you admit that Chen Sihai is your father? The two of you look so alike, and the Yin-Yang Jade is now on your body..."
"Believe it or not, if you say another word of nonsense, I'll destroy your Yuanying and make you suffer for eternity!"
Before Tu Junhou could finish speaking, Yang Zhen interrupted him forcefully, frightening Tu Junhou into silence.
He quickly said, "Mr. Chen, you don't know, back then, Chen Sihai single-handedly fought against the eight great Huashen realm experts of the Chiyue Sect, and forcibly destroyed the entire Chiyue Sect. However, those eight great Huashen realm experts, before their deaths, also joined forces to leave a curse mark on Chen Sihai's body, causing him to be seriously injured and his strength to be less than one percent of his peak."
Tu Junhou sighed, but Chen Xiao asked, "You said he slaughtered your entire sect, so how come you didn't die?"
Tu Junhou looked embarrassed and stammered, "Actually, I was just a handyman in the Chiyue Sect, with a low status. Before the battle started, I hid, so I escaped."
"What happened after that? Continue, tell the truth!"
Chen Xiao ordered coldly.
"After the Chiyue Sect was destroyed, I obtained many secret techniques of the sect. After three years of hard cultivation, my Jindan was completed, and I went to Chen Sihai to seek revenge... Who would have thought that even though his strength was only one percent of his peak, I was still no match for him! From then on, I gave up the idea of revenge and came to Hong Kong Island to live in seclusion, until you found me!"
Tu Junhou said with a sincere expression.
But Chen Xiao snorted coldly, "Seeking revenge? I don't think so. You were going after the Yin-Yang Jade on Chen Sihai, weren't you?"
Tu Junhou was exposed by Chen Xiao and was embarrassed again. He finally nodded, "Back then, the Chiyue Sect provoked Chen Sihai because of this Yin-Yang Jade, and ultimately suffered the disaster of annihilation. Think about it, who wouldn't want to get their hands on such a precious treasure?"
"Then what is so precious about this Yin-Yang Jade that makes you so eager for it?"
Chen Xiao continued to ask.
Tu Junhou was stunned again, and then said, "Mr. Chen, don't you know? This Yin-Yang Jade is one of the five great sacred relics that the Eternal Celestial Emperor left behind on Earth!"
Hearing this, Chen Xiao was greatly shocked.
"This Yin-Yang Jade is the legendary sacred relic?"
Tu Junhou nodded, "That's right. Moreover, the Yin-Yang Jade is the only one of the five great sacred relics that has fallen into the hands of ordinary people. After so many years, those old foxes in the hidden sects must think that the Yin-Yang Jade is still in Chen Sihai's hands, not knowing that it already belongs to Mr. Chen."
After listening to this, Chen Xiao fell into deep thought.
If, according to Tu Junhou, this Yin-Yang Jade was left behind by that Eternal Celestial Emperor, then why would he have become a disciple of the Azure Firmament Divine Emperor in that dream?
What is the relationship between the two?
And what about the palace in the Yin-Yang Jade?
Chen Xiao's mind was like a cloud of fog, with threads of clues pointing to the final answer.
But without clearing the fog, he couldn't see clearly what the final answer was.
"Then do you know what else there is besides this Yin-Yang Jade among the sacred relics left by this Eternal Celestial Emperor?"
Chen Xiao continued to ask.
He felt that Tu Junhou knew a lot about these five great sacred relics, at least more than Old Huang, after all, Old Huang didn't even know the name of the Eternal Celestial Emperor.
However, Tu Junhou disappointed Chen Xiao. He shook his head and said, "Mr. Chen, I really don't know about this, but I heard that if you collect all five great sacred relics, there will be a great benefit!"
