Chapter 1142

Feng Yaya's pretty face turned ugly. This was not good news for her.

If the Taoist Priest Feng Zhen were to die, Duan Gu would use the secret technique to seize his power. This way, the Taoist Priest would be able to make up for his lack of Dao foundation and his strength would far surpass his peers!

"No, he must not have left this place."

The Taoist Priest Feng Zhen shook his head and refuted Feng Yaya's thoughts.

"What do you mean?" The two looked at him.

"That guy must have understood our ancestor's memories in the Valley of Time. He will not let go of the possibility of advancing further."

The Taoist Priest Feng Zhen clenched his fist.

"What do you mean?" Gu Chen and Feng Yaya did not understand.

The Taoist Priest Feng Zhen had a complicated expression and sighed.

"The Old Man once thought that the ancestor and the Immortal Realm were incompatible. I did not expect the ancestor and the Immortal Realm's Heavenly Emperor to be sworn brothers."

Gu Chen was silent. He had already guessed this. The Taoist Priest Feng Zhen's attainment in the Law of Time was deeper than his, so he naturally understood it better.

"Now that I think about it, the grudges between Kunlun and the Ancient Heaven, the opposition between the Immortals and the Gods, seem so laughable."

The Taoist Priest Feng Zhen's lips curled into a self-deprecating smile. In his dying moments, he had understood many things.

"In fact, when the Divine Realm collapsed, the Old Man already understood these principles. However, he never had the courage to Frined Gu and was willing to stand up and bear everything."

The Taoist Priest Feng Zhen recalled how Gu Chen single-handedly stopped the Immortals and the Gods from continuing the war.

He had lived for a long time, but he was not as decisive as a young man.

"What does this have to do with Duan Gu?"

Feng Yaya was only concerned about Duan Gu, so when she heard Daoist Fengzhen talking about a bunch of messy things, she instantly became anxious.

Gu Chen was silent, listening to the Taoist Priest Feng Zhen's heartfelt words.

"Little friend Gu, did you know? My ancestor might have betrayed the Celestial Emperor and the world of immortals, but he did it to save the Celestial Emperor. "

The Taoist Priest Feng Zhen's eyes gradually turned red. "Back then, a big shot from Xing County came to the Valley of Light. Our ancestors couldn't even withstand a single blow from him."

"That person made our ancestor realize that the Ninth Realm was powerless against the Xing County. He lost all courage to fight back."

"And after that person defeated the ancestor, he told him that as long as he was willing to betray the Immortal World, he promised to spare the Celestial Emperor's life and preserve the legacy of our Kunlun."

"In the eyes of our ancestors, the Celestial Thearch was actually more important than our entire race. In the end, he chose to believe Xing Jun and betrayed the Sky Sovereign. "

"Unexpectedly, the Xing County Lord failed to keep his promise. Because of this, the ancestors of the Xing County Lord blamed themselves deeply."

As Gu Chen listened, he recalled the intermittent scenes he had seen earlier.

The Kunlun Deity Emperor saw the Celestial Emperor as his brother. He wanted to save his life, but he ended up harming him instead.

This incident was truly regrettable. As the person involved, the Kunlun Deity Emperor must have found it even more difficult to let go.

It was probably because of this incident that the space-time memory was affected by the Kunlun Deity Emperor's emotions, causing the turbulence.

It was a memory that he did not want to recall. He fell into his own obsession, and it was his endless regret that formed the chaotic space-time in the Valley of Light.

"Little friend Gu, the Old Man knew that you came to Kunlun to seek help from the Alliance of Immortals and Gods. Do you know that my ancestor once thought of accepting the Celestial Emperor's invitation to join the Immortal World? However, due to his pride and stubbornness, he did not get what he wanted. "

As the Taoist Priest Feng Zhen spoke, two streams of tears rolled down from the corner of his eyes.

"I'm afraid the Old Man's injuries are incurable. But Little friend Gu, you must stop Duan Gu."

The Taoist Priest Feng Zhen mumbled.

"Stop him for what?"

Gu Chen felt inexplicably sad. If the Taoist Priest Feng Zhen had known the truth about the Kunlun Deity Emperor earlier, he would not have ended up in this state.

"My ancestor and the Celestial Emperor have been competing with each other their entire lives, and the most intense part of their competition is whose origin is stronger."

"They both cultivated the Space-Time Origin, but they each have their own merits. Compared to them, the Old Man's condensed origin is like comparing a firefly to the bright moon. "

"Merely obtaining the Old Man's origin won't be enough to satisfy Duan Gu's greed. He must have found out about the existence of a stronger Space-Time Origin from the space-time in the Valley of Time, and will definitely want to steal it."

"He will try to steal the past power of my ancestor. That's why I said that he must still be here."

Feng Yaya understood the meaning behind the words of the Taoist Priest Feng Zhen, causing her expression to turn extremely nervous.

"Duan Gu's attainments in the Laws of Time are already outstanding to begin with. Now that he has stolen your power, how is it possible for Gu Chen to defeat Duan Gu in a battle of space-time with the little bit of knowledge that he has learned?"

Feng Yaya felt that they were done for. Duan Gu could be said to be invincible in this space-time. Once he really obtained the past power of the Kunlun Deity Emperor, he would be able to crush them with ease.

"If it's just a battle of the Laws of Time, Frined Gu might not be a match for Duan Gu. But that's not the truth."

The Taoist Priest Feng Zhen looked at Gu Chen with hope.

"My ancestor's past is filled with guilt and regret towards the Celestial Emperor. That's the source of the space-time chaos in the Valley of Time."

"It's not that easy for Duan Gu to obtain the Source of the Past. He's someone from the outside world, and it's precisely because of the appearance of someone from the outside world that caused my ancestor's regret. Therefore, it's extremely difficult for Duan Gu to remove my ancestor's obsession and obtain the Source of the Past."

"But Frined Gu is different. You're the successor of the Celestial Emperor, and you've cultivated the Celestial Emperor's Time Fist. Perhaps, only you can awaken the slumbering will of my ancestor!"

The Taoist Priest Feng Zhen was filled with hope. The reason why he said that was not only because he wanted to save Kunlun from the crisis that they were facing right now, but also because he wanted to undo the knot in their ancestor's heart.

Gu Chen understood the meaning behind the words of the Taoist Priest Feng Zhen as his heart rippled.

Undo the knot in the heart of the Kunlun Deity Emperor?

Could he do it?

"This is way too unfathomable. How can I undo the knot in the heart of the Kunlun Deity Emperor? Where can I do it?"

Feng Yaya was in disbelief. This was not a battle of Dao, but a battle of the heart. This was something that she had never heard of before.

To her, rather than doing something as unfathomable as this, she might as well fight it out with that Duan Gu.

"If I undo the knot in the heart of the Kunlun Deity Emperor, would Kunlun be willing to enter my Immortal World?"

Gu Chen looked at the Taoist Priest Feng Zhen and asked seriously.

"This is the wish of my ancestor that he was unable to voice out." The Taoist Priest Feng Zhen smiled in a sorrowful manner.

"Alright then, I'll do it."

Gu Chen smiled, even though he did not know what he should do.

After receiving the promise from Gu Chen, the huge rock that was pressing down on Taoist Priest Feng Zhen's heart seemed to have finally been released, and the aura on his body rapidly withered.

His skin became even more shriveled, and his hair turned completely white. The wound on his chest was speeding up his time.

"He's going to die."
