"Geography of Kyushu" records: "In the ancient times, the world was divided into nine parts, so it was called Kyushu. Later in ancient times, the land changed again and Kyushu was divided again."

Today, there are 21 major states in the world, and Daxia is the orthodox state of the Central Plains, with a strong national power and sole control of 13 states in the world. The remaining eight states, and the Great Yuan occupies the land of seven states.

And the last big state, named Tianzhou, belongs to the six holy places alone. It is a paradise-like existence that neither Daxia nor Yuan can touch.

Xuan Yuan was wearing a decent Taoist robe with yin and yang patterns embroidered on it. He had a good temperament and asked softly: "Do you know where the demons and ghosts come from?"

Gu Chen frowned. He had already guessed the origin of the demon and ghost. Seeing this, Xuan Yuan pointed to the sky and said directly: "Outside the territory!"

"As expected!"

Gu Chen's heart trembled. In fact, he had already guessed that the demons and ghosts were not native creatures of Kyushu, but came from outside the territory.

When talking about monsters and ghosts, Xuanyuan's expression gradually became serious, and he said: "Monsters and ghosts are evil spirits from outside the territory. One day, they will destroy everything in Jiuzhou. Jiuzhou is a cage, and all the creatures here are no different from prisoners. One day, they will destroy everything in Jiuzhou."

, will die in the hands of demons."

"With your talent, if you join the Six Holy Lands and enter our Wuji Dao Sect, you may still have a chance of survival. Otherwise, you will definitely die." Xuanyuan said solemnly.

When Gu Chen heard this, he frowned and said, "What if I join the Wuji Taoist Sect? Can I still walk in this world?"

Xuanyuan shook his head and said: "If you enter my Wuji Dao Sect, you are a disciple of the Holy Land and you must return to the Holy Land immediately."

"Then what if I want to go down the mountain?" Gu Chen asked again.

Xuanyuan was silent and did not answer.

When Gu Chen saw this, he immediately said: "In this case, forgive me for not being able to join the Six Holy Lands."

Xuanyuan raised his eyebrows, obviously a little surprised. He never thought that someone in Kyushu would refuse the invitation of the Six Holy Lands.

"You know, what did you miss?" Xuanyuan asked with a frown.

He saw that Gu Chen was really talented, so he developed a love for talents and wanted to let Gu Chen join the Six Holy Lands.

Gu Chen's qualifications are so impressive even in the ruined world of Kyushu. If he joins the Six Holy Lands, he will definitely achieve even more extraordinary achievements.

Through this, Xuanyuan can be regarded as forming a good relationship, and in the future, he can also be turned around and let Gu Chen "accept" him.

This is also Xuanyuan's purpose.

But what he never expected was that Gu Chen actually refused the invitation.

I have to say that this was beyond Xuanyuan's expectations and beyond his expectation.

Hearing this, Gu Chen said: "In any case, Gu Chen would like to thank the Taoist Master for his kindness."

Xuanyuan thought for a moment and said, "Is it because of your family?"

Gu Chen nodded, this was one of the important reasons.

Xuanyuan frowned and said: "With your talent, after joining the Holy Land, you may not have the opportunity to let your family members join you."

Gu Chen shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I still can't accept it."

According to Xuanyuan's intention, once entering the Six Holy Lands, it is equivalent to being isolated from the world of Jiuzhou. In this way, Gu Chen can no longer obtain merit points. Without merit points, his own talent is not that transcendent.

, by then, the Six Holy Lands will definitely be discovered.

This is the most important reason why Gu Chen rejected Xuanyuan.

Xuanyuan said in a deep voice: "Do you know that it is for your own good that you are not allowed to go down the mountain? What is Kyushu? It is Fanlong! All the creatures in Kyushu are no different from prisoners. Kyushu is a ruined world. If you go to the Holy Land, you will

You should know that leaving the Holy Land and coming to Kyushu is a kind of 'pollution' to yourself, which is why, after decades, people from the Holy Land only come down from the mountain."

Xuanyuan told Gu Chen a secret that few people in the world knew. It turned out that this was the reason why people in the Holy Land refused to come down from the mountain.

"Excuse me, Master, why is Jiuzhou a cage?" Gu Chen took the opportunity to ask his doubts.

Xuanyuan said: "The world of Kyushu is ruined, the rules of the world are becoming more and more imperfect, and martial arts will gradually decline. What is this if not Fan Long?"

"Is this related to the passing of ancient times?" Gu Chen seized the opportunity and asked.

Xuanyuan shook his head and said: "I can't answer this question for you, because some things are secret within the Holy Land and I cannot reveal them, otherwise there will be a big disaster."

Although it was a pity that he could not learn the secret of the disappearance of the ancient era, Gu Chen still nodded, expressed his understanding, and said: "Does the Taoist Master know how to prevent the demons and ghosts from coming to Kyushu?"

"There is no way. When the demons and ghosts appeared in Kyushu, it was already destined that the catastrophe of Kyushu would come soon." Xuanyuan said slowly.

Gu Chen was moved and asked quickly: "Taoist Master, do you know when the disaster will come?"

Xuanyuan said: "The specific time cannot be calculated. It may be half a year, one year, or three to five years."

Gu Chen frowned and said: "In other words, everything is unknown, and the catastrophe may even come tomorrow?"

Xuanyuan sighed softly and said: "Don't try to change the outcome of Kyushu. This is beyond human power. This world will eventually turn into ashes, and hundreds of millions of living beings will become dust and cease to exist."

Seeing that Gu Chen didn't take it seriously, Xuan Yuan asked, "What do you think of demons and ghosts?"

After thinking deeply, Gu replied: "The method is weird, hard to guard against, and very difficult to deal with."

Xuanyuan said: "You think demons and ghosts are not powerful, right?"

Gu Chen nodded. Since his debut, he has not encountered a particularly powerful demon. Demons have no intelligence. He just thinks that demons have weird methods and can evolve infinitely by devouring the flesh and blood of living creatures. They are very difficult to deal with.

What's more, demon cult warriors can fuse with demons and ghosts, and their strength will be greatly enhanced. There will be no bottleneck in martial arts cultivation, which is also very troublesome.

Xuanyuan sighed: "You underestimate the monsters and ghosts too much. Just like the level between monsters and ghosts, do you think that the monsters and ghosts are the top? The Era level and the Ming level are just the classification given by Kyushu to the monsters.

"

When Gu Chen heard this, he was immediately shocked and asked, "What does Taoist Master mean?"

Xuanyuan said: "I just want to tell you that demons and ghosts are not as simple as people in Kyushu imagine. The demons and ghosts you see now are just the weakest ones."

"In this case, why didn't the Six Holy Lands take action and instead just sit back and watch the demons cause trouble in the world?" Gu Chen asked rhetorically.

Xuanyuan shook his head and said: "Even the Six Holy Lands cannot prevent demons and ghosts from coming to Kyushu. This is the general trend of the world and no one can stop it. The destiny of this world has been determined and cannot be reversed by human power."

When Gu Chen heard this, he immediately said in a deep voice: "Now that the outcome of the Jiuzhou world has been decided, what about the six holy places?"

This time, Xuanyuan chose silence and did not speak.

Seeing this, Gu Chen immediately understood that the Six Holy Lands might have other ways to avoid this disaster.

"So, are you still unwilling to join the Holy Land?" Xuanyuan asked.

"Yes." Gu Chen's answer was concise and powerful, representing his most determined will.

Seeing this, Xuanyuan could only sigh softly, feeling extremely regretful.

At this time, Gu Chen asked: "I dare to ask, sir, is Dugu Yun, the leader of the Liuhe Sect, not dead?"

After Xuanyuan hesitated for a moment, he nodded.

Seeing this scene, Gu Chen's eyes immediately froze. Although he had already suspected it, he was still very shocked when he learned the truth at this moment.

"Are the Six Holy Lands just sitting back and watching the Demon Cult bring trouble to the world? Three hundred years ago, the Six Holy Lands took action against Dugu Yun. Why don't they take action again this time?"

"It's no longer necessary." Xuanyuan said.

Gu Chen frowned, not understanding what Xuanyuan meant, but seeing the other party's expression, he knew that the other party did not want to answer him anymore.

"Once the great catastrophe comes, Kyushu will turn into ghosts and monsters, and all living things will be reduced to ashes and mountains of corpses and seas of blood. You should seriously consider what I said today." Xuanyuan said.

Gu Chen looked coldly and said: "So, the Six Holy Lands just sit back and watch the lives of the nine provinces being devastated, and hundreds of millions of creatures are devoured by demons, and they are not willing to take a chance?"

"Knowing that the outcome has been decided, even if we take action, we will just linger on for a while, so what can we do?" Xuanyuan was noncommittal.

Gu Chen knew that the Six Holy Lands had completely different ideas from his, and further words would be fruitless, so he said nothing more.

Xuanyuan said: "This is the general trend of the world, it is destiny, destiny is unstoppable, and you cannot disobey it."

Seeing that Gu Chen didn't speak, Xuan Yuan knew that Gu Chen didn't listen.

Gu Chen looked indifferent. Compared to the Six Holy Lands, he could not be so cold-blooded. Moreover, if there were no merit points, even if he joined the Six Holy Lands, based on their behavior, Gu Chen knew that he would definitely be beaten by them again.

Get kicked out.

In this case, it is better not to join. As for the Nine Provinces Catastrophe, before the matter was finalized, Gu Chen believed that everything might not turn around.

At the same time, now, Gu Chen also understands why Emperor Xia has been in seclusion for twenty-three years.

"Is it possible to solve the Nine Provinces catastrophe by becoming a celestial being?" Thinking of Emperor Xia, Gu Chen's heart moved.

Xuan Yuan glanced at him, as if he knew what Gu Chen was thinking, and said: "Even if you are in the heaven and human realm, you still can't do it. Do you think you are invincible in the heaven and human realm?"

Gu Chen's expression condensed. He didn't expect that he couldn't even reach the ultimate level of martial arts.

Xuanyuan's aura was aloof, as if he did not belong to this world, and said: "Since you aspire to the heaven and human realm, you should join the six holy lands. In the ruined world of Kyushu with incomplete rules, you cannot achieve the heaven and human realm. You

Is it possible that you think you can rise up in a ruined world?"

Obviously, Xuanyuan still did not give up on letting Gu Chen join the Six Holy Lands.

"rule?"

Gu Chen's heart moved. Xuan Yuan mentioned the word "rules" many times, which made Gu Chen a little concerned.

"May I ask, sir, do you know the whereabouts of Emperor Xia?" Gu Chen asked suddenly.

I don't know if it is due to the Six Holy Lands, but Xuanyuan does have a temperament that is incompatible with Kyushu. He is a bit aloof and has an "immortal aura" about him.

Hearing this, Xuanyuan frowned slightly and said, "Forget it, I'll tell you again. Do you know why the Heavenly Realm is called the Martial Arts Immortal, or even the Land Immortal?"
