Chapter 418: Stone Man Zhou Juntian
Zhou Juntian?
Zhou Juntian again?
Cui Heng frowned slightly when he heard this. Ever since he left Daozhou Star, he had often heard about Zhou Juntian’s deeds in various places.
No, even Daozhou Star was Zhou Juntian’s reincarnation place.
This person could be said to be everywhere.
He was a Sage who had walked out of Daozhou Star. He was the last Ascender to the Purple Sun Heaven and was also the disciple of Lord of the Heavens Ziyang. He had even participated in the conquest of the Sacred Demon Heaven.
Moreover, he was one of the core reasons for the destruction of the Purple Sun Heaven. There were even rumors that he was the artifact spirit of the Heaven Gate…
He had too many identities.
Now, he had actually told the people of Taihong Star 3,000 years ago that the Heaven Gate would open.
yen
He was like an invisible hand that was quietly changing the various things in this Star Field, but it was difficult to see any special connection between these things.
It was a little confusing.
“Zhou Juntian, what’s his goal?” Cui Heng was puzzled, but on the surface, he looked at Yue Canghai calmly and said, “How did he find you?”
“I’ll talk, I’ll talk, I’ll tell you everything!” At this moment, Yue Canghai was completely frightened by Cui Heng. He would rather die than become an ant like Zen Master Shantong beside him.
That was too terrifying!
“Immortal Venerable, it’s like this…” Yue Canghai adjusted his emotions slightly and began to describe some of his encounters before Taihong Star was sucked into the Heaven Gate.
As the content this time was something that Zhao Tianyi, Xuan Bei, and the others did not know, their gazes all landed on him.
Yue Canghai felt many gazes focused on him.
If he dared to spout nonsense, there was no need for that Immortal Venerable to take action. The three Creators here could destroy his body and soul on the spot.
There was no way out.
Therefore, Yue Canghai carefully filtered through what he wanted to say.
Fortunately, with his current realm and cultivation, his thoughts were extremely fast. He quickly sorted out the information and organized his words before continuing to describe his experience.
3,000 years ago, Yue Canghai was only a Mystic Deity. Although he was a famous expert on Taihong Star, he was not worth mentioning in the starry skies of the myriad worlds.
Especially at that time, there were still legends about the Dao God on Taihong Star.
In ancient times, a god from outer space descended and took away many of the inheritances on Taihong Star. This made Yue Canghai deeply feel how weak he and Taihong Star were.
Therefore, Yue Canghai urgently wanted to possess greater strength and break through to a higher realm. However, Taihong Star did not even have a Golden Immortal inheritance. It was almost impossible for him to find a way to break through.
However, he did not give up. Instead, he began to personally explore every corner of Taihong Star, trying to find some possible ancient ruins to see if he could obtain some powerful ancient martial techniques from them.
Unfortunately, although he had indeed found some ancient ruins and ancient tombs, there were no Golden Immortal-level martial techniques in these places, so he could only return empty-handed every time.
It was during this process that Yue Canghai found an ancient ruin that was so old that it was difficult to recognize. He also discovered a strange stone man in that ruin.
The man’s entire body was made of stone.
He called himself Zhou Juntian.
It was this stone man who told Yue Canghai that a Heaven Gate would open.
“Stone man?” When Cui Heng heard this, he could not help but ask in surprise, “Zhou Juntian actually became a stone man. What’s the exact form of that stone man?”
With Zhou Juntian’s former identities, turning into a stone statue was not too difficult. He only needed to place a wisp of his consciousness on the stone. It was very simple.
However, why did Zhou Juntian, who had disappeared 300,000 years ago, turn into a stone man on Taihong Star? What special intention did he have?
This was what Cui Heng cared about.
“Immortal Venerable, the state of the stone man is very strange,” Yue Canghai explained respectfully to Cui Heng. “In my perception, there was no soul aura on the stone man. It’s like a stone that has come to life.”
“But that stone man didn’t possess any demonic aura. It also didn’t look like a demon that’d sensed the world. I couldn’t determine the life form of that stone man at all.”
“However, it’s also possible that my cultivation realm was too low at that time, so I couldn’t see through the stone man clearly. It’s also possible that the realm of the stone man was too high…”
“Could it be that he just calls himself Zhou Juntian?” Zhao Tianyi said at this moment. “As far as I know, Zhou Juntian is already a figure from 300,000 years ago. He’s the last person to ascend to the Purple Sun Heaven in the starry skies of the myriad worlds.
“How can such an extremely ancient figure appear on Taihong Star more than 3,000 years ago? It’s been too long.”
Zen Master Xuan Bei and Daoist Taichong, who were standing at the side, also nodded. They also had a certain understanding of Zhou Juntian and did not believe that he would appear 3,000 years ago.
That meant that he had lived for at least 300,000 years!
This was too exaggerated.
What kind of realm was required, and what kind of supreme being could do such a thing?
“With Zhou Juntian’s background, it’s not impossible for him to live for 300,000 years.” Cui Heng shook his head gently and said to Yue Canghai, “Zhou Juntian only told you that the Heaven Gate was about to open?”
“He also asked me to do something.” Yue Canghai lowered his head and said, “He broke off his right arm and asked me to bring that arm to the Heaven Gate. “He also asked me to throw out that stone arm when I passed an area filled with scarlet light, saying that it could save my life.”
“Later on, I indeed encountered an area filled with scarlet light in the Heaven Gate. I took advantage of the chaos and threw out the arm. As soon as the arm was thrown out, we managed to pass through the scarlet light.”
“Next, just as Zhao Tianyi and the others said, I experienced a rebirth in that empty snow-white land and was teleported to another place…”
“At this point, he paused and hesitated for a moment before saying, “I was teleported to a starry sky that was different from our side. I saw a person covered in scarlet light. He called himself Divine Lord Yu Tian.”
“You actually saw an Outer World expert at that time?!” Zhao Tianyi looked at Yue Canghai in disbelief, his expression bewildered.
He had always thought that Yue Canghai, Zen Master Shantong, and the others had only defected in the past hundred years.
After all, it had only been nearly a hundred years since the starry skies around Taihong Star was invaded. There had never been any abnormalities before.
“No, I didn’t!” Yue Canghai denied it and shook his head repeatedly. “At that time, I didn’t know about the Outer World at all. Divine Lord Yu Tian only let me comprehend a cultivation technique that pointed to the Creator realm.”
“This isn’t any different from your experiences, right? However, a hundred years ago, I suddenly received a summon from Divine Lord Yu Tian and could sense his will. That’s when I began to work for him…”
At this point, he mustered his courage and looked up at Cui Heng, wanting to see his reaction. However, he saw that Cui Heng’s gaze was deep and his expression was calm. It was unknown what he was thinking.
This made Yue Canghai panic. He hurriedly lowered his head and remained silent.
In fact, Cui Heng was thinking.
There were a few important pieces of information that Yue Canghai mentioned.
3,000 years ago, Zhou Juntian, who was in the form of a stone statue, appeared on Taihong Star. He clearly told Yue Canghai that the Heaven Gate was about to open and even used his stone arm to help Taihong Star cross the area filled with scarlet light.
After that, after the people of Taihong Star were reborn, only five of them were still awake and were teleported to different places. However, other than what Zhao Tianyi encountered, these places had the same characteristics-a scarlet color.
In fact, one of them was even teleported to Divine Lord Yu Tian who was corroding this Star Field.
“Taihong Star only appeared at the edge of this Star Field after it was spat out by the Heaven Gate…” Cui Heng thought to himself. “The edge of the Star Field is the frontline of the Outer World invasion.”
“If that’s the case, back then, when Taihong Star was sucked into the Heaven Gate, I’m afraid the Outer World was behind it. Taihong Star was most likely a bridge they took the initiative to build to corrode this Star Field.”
“But why Taihong Star? What role did Zhou Juntian play in this matter?”
