Chapter 872
Gu Chen knew that the initiator of this war was the Pure Spirit Kingdom.
Li Shunyu had previously been captured by Qiong Qi and was even sent to the Wilderness God Star, where he was almost turned into a prisoner.
Although he pretended as if nothing had happened, Gu Chen still wanted to obtain information about the Pure Spirit Kingdom from him.
When Gu Chen mentioned the Pure Spirit Kingdom, the Heavenly Generals were a little surprised, while Li Shunyu said expressionlessly. "Can everyone leave first and let the Old Man and Gu Chen have a chat alone?"
Li Shunyu said and the Heavenly Generals left. Only Tang Ning looked at the two of them with a teasing gaze before he left.
When everyone left, Li Shunyu's expression became much more relaxed. "I hope that you won't spread the news of the Old Man's capture."
Gu Chen was slightly surprised. So Li Shunyu had pretended that nothing had happened because he wanted to save his face.
He wasn't someone who liked to expose others' shortcomings, but since Li Shunyu had mentioned it, Su Mo followed along. "If Senior can tell me about the Pure Spirit Kingdom, I will naturally keep my mouth shut."
Li Shunyu's eyes widened. "You brat, you actually dare to threaten the Old Man?"
Gu Chen smiled but said nothing. He was not afraid at all.
Li Shunyu shook his head. "Forget it. If you want to know about the Old Man, I'll tell you. Previously, this old man accidentally fell into the Pure Spirit Demon Region's ambush and was captured by their group of people. They originally intended to send the Old Man to the Wilderness God Star as a hostage. This way, they could ensure that the Ancient Heaven would join the war. "
"It looks like the Pure Spirit Kingdom is very determined to incite chaos among the immortals." Gu Chen muttered. First, they set up a trap for the Immeasurable Demon God Sect, Desolate God Clan, and Heart Ape Clan to start a war. But that wasn't enough, they still wanted to drag the Ancient Heaven down with them.
Ancient Heaven had once been the leader of the immortal world. If it was dragged into this mess, the situation would only worsen.
The Man with a Bamboo Hat was no longer doing research in the ancient planets with life. Instead, he was trying to cause chaos among the immortals. Gu Chen could not help but think about his intention.
"The Pure Spirit Kingdom has always been like this. All these years, wherever their members appear, there is bound to be a storm." Li Shunyu's face darkened.
"How much do you know about the Pure Spirit Kingdom?" Gu Chen's heart skipped a beat.
Li Shunyu said solemnly. "The Pure Spirit Kingdom is an extremely mysterious force. They claim that they do not belong to the immortal dao or divine dao. For a long time, the existence of this force has been a mystery."
"They have single-handedly orchestrated many disturbances in the various star fields. But every time, they have done it flawlessly, making it hard for outsiders to find out about their background. It is said that this force has already infiltrated the various star fields of the Immortal World and God World. There are many of their members in the major forces. "
When Gu Chen heard this, he couldn't help thinking about Qiong Qi and Queen Bi You, confirming that this rumor was true.
"There is a person in the Pure Spirit Kingdom that is called 'Your Holiness' by their members. I wonder if Senior knows anything about him?" Gu Chen recalled how Queen Bi You addressed the Man with a Bamboo Hat.
When Li Shunyu heard this, his pupils suddenly shrank. "It is said that the core members of the Pure Spirit Kingdom are very strong. Most of them have reached the Venerable Realm. And there is only one person in this organization who can be called Your Holiness. That person is the founder of the Pure Spirit Kingdom, the Jingling Taoist!"
"The Jingling Taoist!" Gu Chen's heart was in turmoil. If he was not wrong, this Jingling Taoist should be the true body of the Man with a Bamboo Hat!
How long had it been? He had stepped into the starry sky for so long, but he finally knew the real name of the other party!
"Is this Jingling Taoist very strong?" Gu Chen took a deep breath and asked.
"The Pure Spirit Kingdom has been regarded as a non-existent organization for a long time. Do you know when it started to become the eyes of the major forces?" Li Shunyu said meaningfully.
Gu Chen shook his head.
"A hundred thousand years ago, the Jingling Taoist broke into the Divine Realm alone. After killing a large number of gods, he retreated unscathed! This incident brought shame to the Divine Realm, and also confirmed the existence of the Pure Spirit Kingdom. "
"Broke into the Divine Realm alone …" Gu Chen was moved. He was no longer the young boy who had just left the Ancient Planet of Cang Huang. Naturally, he knew what it meant.
Since the collapse of the Primordial Immortal World, the Divine Realm had been revered in the universe. The Divine Realm was the holy land of all cultivators!
Breaking into the Divine Realm and killing a large number of gods meant declaring war on the entire Divine Realm. Only a lunatic would do such a thing.
"If the Pure Spirit Kingdom has done such a thing, why is there so little information about this organization?" Gu Chen asked in confusion.
After learning about the existence of this organization, he had done a simple investigation, but he did not find much.
The black dog had wandered around the major star regions and was very experienced, but it did not know anything about this organization.
"The Jingling Taoist entered the Divine Realm but retreated unscathed. This made the Divine Realm lose face, so they blocked the news from the outside. Only a few major organizations, such as the Celestial Court, got wind of it."
"Moreover, the purpose and beliefs of the Pure Spirit Kingdom made the Divine Realm wary, so they never mentioned this organization. However, traces of this organization can still be seen from the Celestial Execution List issued by the Divine Realm. This is because on the Celestial Execution List issued to the entire universe, the Jingling Taoist has occupied the first place for a hundred thousand years. "
"The first place on the Celestial Execution List of the Divine Realm?" Gu Chen was moved. He remembered that Tang Ning was also on this list, and he was only ranked third.
He did not expect the Man with a Bamboo Hat to be the number one wanted criminal in the universe. No wonder he once said that as long as Gu Chen stepped into the stars, he would know his name sooner or later.
"Although he's the first place on the Celestial Execution List, the Jingling Taoist has never shown his face in front of people since he made his move 655,555 years ago, so he became a legend. As for what he looks like, what race he is, and how strong he is, no one can say for sure. The information about him on the Celestial Execution List is even more pitiful. It's not an exaggeration to say that it's a fog. "
Gu Chen was silent. Even the Divine Realm could not get more information about the Man with a Bamboo Hat. The other party had hidden himself too well.
"That's all I know. Although there is the shadow of the Pure Spirit Demon Region in this matter, there is no evidence after all. Don't casually mention it to others in the future, remember?" Li Shunyu reminded him out of some unknown considerations.
"I understand. Thank you for the information, Senior."
After getting the information he wanted, Gu Chen turned around and left the hall.
Li Shunyu looked at Gu Chen's departing figure and pondered.
After a long time, he turned his head and glanced at the side of the hall, snorting coldly. "After eavesdropping for so long, he should come out."
In the shadow of the hall, the slovenly Tang Ning suddenly walked out with a smile.
"Eavesdropping on other people's conversations is not a good habit," Li Shunyu said indifferently.
