soul is far more fragile than the physical body, so the pain of burning a soul, even someone as strong as Jiang Yun, is unbearable.This kind of pain far surpassed the pain he had felt when he was burn..."Your Majesty, please wait!"

Jiang Yun hurriedly waved his hand, interrupting Emperor Xuan Yuan's words and said: "The three realms that the Great Emperor just mentioned are suffering, gathering, and annihilation"

That's great! What's up

Jiang Yun frowned, he remembered very clearly what Weng Lao had said about the four realms: ancient, gathering, extinction, and dao!

How did the first realm, as it first appeared from Emperor Xuanyuan's mouth, become the "realm of suffering"

Although the two words sound very similar, I myself have heard Laozi mention it many times, and each time he said ancient realm. I absolutely didn't mishear it.

"Could it be that Wàng Lǎo is deceiving himself"

Jiang Yun didn't doubt Emperor Xuanyuan because he had nothing to do with him, and he wasn't answering his question. He was just blurting it out.

Even, complaining!

In this situation, he really didn't need to deceive himself!

Then, he must be lying!

But, Gingercloud really couldn't understand why Elder Forgetting would deceive her.

After some deliberation, Ginger Cloud said with a hint of caution: "Your Majesty, I've heard a saying that the first realm in the Four Great Realms is not the Realm of Suffering, but the Ancient Realm!"

"Ancient Realm" Emperor Xuanyuan's voice held a hint of confusion. "I have never heard of an Ancient Realm. In my time, there were only the ancient races."

Ginger then pressed, "Could it be that the ancient race was too powerful, leading them to create a new ancient realm"

"Impossible!" Emperor Xuanyuan stated resolutely. "After the emergence of powerful beings from the Suffering Realm, they began to suppress the ancient clans."

This forced the ancient tribes to open up a separate space for themselves, living there and thus establishing a clear distinction from the Three Realms' abode.

The space they inhabited was also referred to as a forbidden zone, impossible to cultivate into an ancient realm again.

Even if they really had the ability, as long as a few old ghosts who knew the secret were still alive, they would definitely not agree!

Emperor Xuanyuan's words caused Jiang Yun's pupils to constrict suddenly.

As it turns out, the forbidden zone in Sìjìngcáng was actually the dwelling place of the ancient people.

That means Li Changxiao, who was killed by himself, and Su Qianchen, the first gemstone appraiser, were actually members of an ancient clan

The reason the forbidden zone exists is because the Cang Lao Hui people oppressed the ancient clan, forcing them to open up a separate space within the Si Jing Zang to avoid persecution by the Cang Lao Hui.

Of course, Jiang Yun also understood why when he first entered the Four Realms of Disorder and claimed his name was Gu Yun, some people would show surprise.

Afterwards, many of them told themselves that the surname Gu held a special significance for them.

Originally, I thought that the reason why the surname "Gu" was rarely seen was because the cultivators of the Four Realms respected the ancient clans.

However, the real reason is that the ancient clans didn't dare to show their faces in the Four Realms' Hideout.

Therefore, this sudden appearance of the ancient saying surprised them somewhat.

"That's not right!"

Then, Jiang Yun suddenly remembered the demon lord inside the Demon Annihilation Statue had always claimed to be from an ancient demon clan.

If he is truly an ancient demon, belonging to the ancient clan, shouldn't he also come from the forbidden land

Their Sirens, the ancestors of this world, are not an ancient race. They are merely cultivators hidden within the Four Realms.

However, grandpa said that the nine clans within the four regions were secretly allied!

This is quite contradictory!

Could it be that among the Nine Clans hidden within the Four Realms, some of them originated from the ancient clans dwelling within the Forbidden Zone

Jiang Yun's eyes widened in shock, frightened by his own thought.

The ancient race is not a clan, but rather encompasses all four races.

They are the ancient cultivators of the human race and ancient demons, as well as the ancient monsters and ancient spirits of the demon race. One could also add an ancient beast.

They, constituted the ancient clan.

If some of the nine tribes truly originated from ancient tribes, it is also entirely possible.

Jiang Yun's brow was tightly furrowed, almost as if she were racking her brains, trying to piece together all the information she knew.

Emperor Xuanyuan's voice also fell silent for a moment, because he could see that Jiang Yun was clearly lost in thought, so he did not disturb him.

But after a long time, Jiang Yun's brow finally relaxed, and she softly uttered two words from her mouth: "Father!"

His own father entered the Four Realms, traversed the Heavenly Palace, and led nine tribes, including the Mirage clan, back to the Celestial Realm.

Besides the nine tribes, Father also brought forth some beings from the myriad realms of heaven.

Perhaps those beings weren't brought by the father, but their ability to reach the Heavenly Domains is definitely related to him.

These beings are also one of the ancient races, the Ancient Spirit Race!

Some of them, such as Gu Ling Fu Yi, even ventured into the First Lower Realm.

Later, when the domain gate to the Heavenly Gathering Domain from the Lower Realm opened, they also entered the Spiritual Ancient Domain and hid within it.

"I understand!"

Ginger Cloud finally sorted out her thoughts, and gradually, most of what had happened that year began to take shape in her mind.

The cultivators within the Four Realms are divided into two parts. One part is the ancient clans who were suppressed and forced to live in forbidden lands.

The other part is ordinary cultivators.

Although there is some animosity between the two sides, not everyone is an enemy.

The ancient clan, outside the forbidden zone, still has a few friends, including the nine clans led by the mirage clan!

Even among friends, under the circumstances of a world shrouded in secrecy, they dare not make their relationship public, and can only form alliances in secret.

One day, in the midst of the four realms' seclusion, an outsider named Jiang Qiuyang suddenly broke in.

Jiang Qiuyang was supposed to be killed, or permanently kept within the Sijijing's confines, forbidden from leaving.

But he broke through Guan Tian Gong and obtained the opportunity to leave the Four Realms Hidden Place.

At that very moment, the nine tribes who had secretly formed an alliance, each for their own reasons, desired to leave the Four Realms Sanctuary.

For example, the ancient tribes definitely wanted to completely get rid of their fate of being oppressed, leaving the Four Realms Enclosure, rather than just shrinking back in seclusion.

For example, the Mirage Clan couldn't find the path to becoming an emperor and hoped to venture to the world beyond the Four Boundaries to break through their limitations.

In summary, they contacted Jiang Qiuyang and told him about the wishes of their nine clans.

Although it is unknown what benefits they offered to Jiang Qiuyang, he ultimately agreed to their request and left the Sijie Zang with them, entering the Zhutian Jiyu.

Unfortunately, this matter, which should have been highly confidential, somehow leaked out. This angered some powerful figures within the Four Realms and their hidden sanctuaries, who began sending people to secretly eliminate the Nine Clans.

Some powerful individuals, there is a high probability that they are members of the Tibetan Sangha!

As for the Nine Clans, they were not truly eradicated. They were simply removed from the records within the Four Borders and their Inner Sanctum. However, the lives of the members of the Nine Clans were spared, and they were sent into exile in a forbidden land.

The purpose of this was probably that the ancient clan's development within the forbidden land had exceeded the control of the Zang Lao Hui, making them feel threatened. So they allowed the nine clans to enter the forbidden land to investigate the secrets of the ancient clan.

Of course, the lives of those Nine Clans people should also be secretly controlled by the Cang Lao Society.

> So far, all the members of the remaining seven tribes, besides the Mirage Tribe and the Samsara Tribe, have been placed within the Forbidden Zone.

Now that Jiang Wàn Lǐ has entered the Imperial Mausoleum, it will be the turn of the Mirage Tribe to follow in the footsteps of the other seven tribes.

"Whew!" Jiang Yun let out a long sigh and said, "This should be the whole story then."

As for the Guiling who helped them, they either provoked their father or could be traitors from the ancient clan, which is why they hate their father so much.

After all, not every member of an ancient clan is necessarily good!

And the real culprit behind all this is actually the Cthulhu cult!

Just then, the voice of Emperor Xuanyuan also sounded, "It seems that you have figured out your problem!"

"Yes!" Jiang Yun cupped his hands in a salute towards the void. "I would also like to thank the Great Emperor for giving me inspiration."

Although Gingercloud still couldn't fully trust Emperor Xuanyuan, she at least felt grateful.

It's nothing!

The First Emperor Xuanyuan said faintly, "I also thought about it just now. Although my people are gone, I haven't seen them die with my own eyes, so I want to ask, are there still Death and Life Demon Races in the Four Regions Hidden today"major regions are also different.The laws of the celestial realms are far superior to those of the lower realms.And the process of entering a new realm is actually similar to a cultivator crossing a t...
