Chapter 40: When you see him, please remember to be in awe

After these words were spoken, Ye Qingran and others widened their eyes.

Ancestor?!
next second.

A figure with gray hair and a slightly hunched body walked out of the black clouds and looked down at everyone.

This hunched figure is the Bone Emperor, the Bone Emperor fifty thousand years later!
He looked at Li Changtan, a look of reminiscence on his face, and asked, "Are you a descendant of the Daogu Divine Sect?"

"Replying to the ancestor, I am the 37th generation head of the Daogu Divine Sect."

Hearing this, Bone Emperor was also filled with sighs. It turned out that so much time had passed, and the Dao Gu Shen Sect that he had founded had already reached its 37th generation leader.

"I have never forgotten the ancient teachings of Daogu Divine Sect. For ten thousand years, Daogu Divine Sect has been searching for the Tree of Time."

“But I haven’t found it yet.”

"Please punish me, First Ancestor."

Hearing these words, Ye Qingran's beautiful eyes widened, and all the fog suddenly became clear at this moment!
She is the saint of Dao Gu Shen Zong, so of course she knows some secrets of Dao Gu Shen Zong.

The only ancient precept of the Dao Gu Shen Sect is to find the legendary "Tree of Time".

What she didn't expect was that one of the Four Emperors was actually the founder of their Dao Gu Shen Sect, and she didn't expect that what the Four Emperors were looking for was also the Tree of Time!
"I don't blame you."

"Now I have found the Tree of Time."

"I will leave this world, and Daogu Shenzong will be handed over to you."

Bone Emperor smiled. It was the first time he smiled in all these years. It might be because he found the Tree of Time, or it might be because they could finally leave here.

"Congratulations, First Ancestor!"

Li Changtan knelt down, and the others also knelt down.

"Is the First Ancestor ready to take revenge?"

"The Dao Gu Divine Sect is willing to follow the ancestor and go through fire and water for him!"

Li Changtan knew that the ancestor was not from this continent, and seemed to have been exiled here by some powerful being.

"No need."

"If you go, you'll just be cannon fodder and won't change anything."

"Besides, I am not going there for revenge, but to do something more important."

The Bone Emperor smiled.

Revenge?
He did not hate the powerful man in the river of time.

On the contrary, Bone Emperor was very grateful to him.

If he hadn't exiled them to this time and space by accident, perhaps they would never have been able to reach the realm of Immortal King in their lifetime.

Fifty thousand years of searching, fifty thousand years of practice.

They have gained a lot of opportunities in this time and space, and now they have touched the threshold of Immortal King.

Now that the Tree of Time has been found, we can leave.

"But."

Li Changtan didn't quite understand.

Wasn't the First Ancestor looking for the Tree of Time for the purpose of revenge?

"You have to remember this."

"This world is much bigger and more vast than you can imagine."

“Never be complacent, never think you are invincible.”

"You, including me, will always be nothing more than ants in the eyes of those supreme beings. You must learn to be respectful."

The former Bone Emperor was also a very proud man.

Ever since he met the mysterious man in the long river of time, his pride disappeared, he became extremely low-key and learned to be awed.

Awe is not fear.

This is a kind of wisdom. Shouldn't we be in awe of the existence of a person who can influence the flow of time with a wave of his hand and send them to an unknown number of years ago with a wave of his hand?

What's more, since it was a blessing in disguise, I shouldn't harbor the desire for revenge.

After hearing these words, several people were stunned for a moment, as if they understood something.

The leader, Li Changtan, asked again: "Ancestor, please leave this world."

"How can we find you and follow your steps?"

Hearing this, Bone Emperor was silent for a while.

In fact, he could have simply extinguished their hope and told them not to come looking for him, but after thinking about it carefully, he decided that one should always leave some hope.

During these fifty thousand years, he has relied entirely on the word "hope" to persevere.

If he had not always held on to hope, he might have given up long ago and turned into a handful of earth, buried forever in this world.

"If you really want to find me."

"If you can really cultivate to that day, you will be able to step into a place called the Long River of Time and go up along the Long River of Time."

"But you may meet a man."

"You must prepare the toll for crossing the river, and do not conflict with him. You must be respectful and fearful."

"Because that man is the one who exiled me to this world, but he is not my enemy, nor is he your enemy either."

At this point, the Bone Emperor paused and said, "You should regard him as your benefactor. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be here, and there wouldn't be the Dao Gu Shen Sect. In a sense, he is also your ancestor."

"When you see him, you must also call him the ancestor."

In fact, there is no need for Bone Emperor to say so much.

Because to travel through the long river of time, one must at least reach the Heavenly Immortal Realm. The entire Dao Gu Shen Sect can only produce one person who has reached the Tribulation Crossing Realm, which is probably the limit.

But what if?
What if one day in the future, the Dao Gu Shen Sect really could produce a celestial being?

That's not even certain.

After saying this, the Bone Emperor waved his hand, and a purple-black wooden board flew out from his sleeve and landed in front of Li Changqin.

"This is an extra piece of the wood of time."

"You must remember that to travel through the long river of time, the Tree of Time is indispensable."

"However, this piece of time wood can only carry one person."

“If a man of destiny, a strongest man, is born in Daogu Divine Sect in the future, and he is willing to pursue me, I will leave this piece of Time Wood to him.”

Hearing this, Li Changqin carefully put away the piece of wood of time.

"Well, time is running out."

"You guys go away, I'm leaving soon too."

"I hope you'll remember every word I just said."

Bone Emperor said.

"Every word the First Ancestor said will become the ancient teachings of the Daogu Divine Sect and will be passed down until the person with the strongest destiny mentioned by the First Ancestor appears and the Wood of Time is handed over to him."

Li Changtan answered word by word.

"Let's go, no more words."

The Bone Emperor waved his hand towards everyone, and the space fluctuated in the next second, and they were transported out of the forbidden area in an instant.

At this moment, Ye Qingran, who was standing behind Li Changtan, was staring at the forbidden area in front of him in a daze.

The words of the ancestor touched her heart.

Isn't the purpose of practicing Taoism to see a wider world?
A sense of ambition grew in her heart.
If the Dao Gu Shen Sect is going to produce a person of destiny, why can't it be her?

Even if it is not destined for her, she will still work hard to become the strongest person in Dao Gu Shen Zong, ride the Tree of Time, go to the long river of time mentioned by the ancestor, and see the wider world.

And she also wanted to see with her own eyes the "other ancestor" who exiled the ancestor to this world.
