"Is this the origin of The Six Supreme Treasures of the First Civilization?"
In the Sacred Ancestor Mountain, divine light shimmered, ancient trees stood tall and lush, and the cliffs were shrouded in a holy mist.
Fairy Qing, her gaze pure, held a white porcelain teacup in her hands, sipping tea gently, her eyes flickering with a strange light.
Beside her, Ling Yuling nodded and continued, "As far as I know, The Six Supreme Treasures of the First Civilization came into existence this way. Later, many other civilization treasures appeared, but they were all imitations of the original six, and their power was far inferior to those treasures."
It was the appearance of that blueprint that gave the beings of the Black Calamity Era a glimmer of hope, and it was from that moment that things began to turn around.
Of course, these secrets were only learned by Ling Yuling later.
At that time, any information about the civilization treasures was top secret and could not be easily leaked, as they were the secret weapons against the Heaven-Warring Organization.
So, it was at that time that many sects, forces, universes, civilizations, and nations began to spontaneously gather together, forming an alliance to resist the Heaven-Warring Organization.
Ling Yuling and Fairy Qing's mother, Nan Zun, were both part of that alliance.
It was during that time that Ling Yuling and Nan Zun became acquainted.
"So that's how it was..."
After hearing this, Fairy Qing's expression also changed slightly, as if filled with admiration. "My mother did mention the allies from back then. She also said that the battle against the Heaven-Warring Organization was both thrilling and magnificent. Countless heroes and sages fearlessly threw themselves into the fight, like moths to a flame, paving the way for future generations."
Ling Yuling also reminisced, "Yes, it's a pity that those comrades are no longer here. After that battle, I was severely injured, and my sister was almost completely annihilated. To save her, I took a great risk to seize the Gate of Eternal Life, but little did I know that the Gate of Eternal Life had already been tainted by the blood of the Lord of Heaven-Warring and corrupted by dark energy."
She briefly explained how she had been schemed against by the Gate of Eternal Life's spirit, trapped in a dark space for countless years, and only recently managed to escape.
"Before coming here, I didn't expect that your mother had already passed away..."
Ling Yuling sighed slightly, feeling a sense of helplessness and sorrow.
"Before my mother passed away, she left behind a token, saying it could sense the presence of former allies. It was because of this that I dared to conclude you weren't a Shadow or Shadow Emperor and allowed you to enter."
Fairy Qing seemed unwilling to dwell on this topic and shook her head slightly.
Ling Yuling could tell that there seemed to be some tension between Fairy Qing and her mother, which was why Fairy Qing showed little emotional fluctuation when mentioning her.
Then, Ling Yuling spoke of her purpose for coming here.
She had a premonition that the Prime-Origin Civilization would soon face a terrifying calamity, possibly related to the remnants of the Heaven-Warring Organization.
After all, some of the forces in the Prime-Origin Civilization were created by the sages who once resisted the Black Calamity, such as the Imperial Immortal Palace and the Xiyuan Sacred Hall.
If a terrifying force was indeed lurking in the shadows, seeking to eradicate the descendants of those sages, then the Imperial Immortal Palace and Xiyuan Sacred Hall would undoubtedly become targets. The entire Prime-Origin Civilization might not be spared.
Now, Ling Yuling even suspected that other civilizations might have already been infiltrated and controlled by this terrifying force, which is why no related news had spread.
If she hadn't accidentally come here today, she might never have known about these things, nor that the descendants of those allies had been hunted down and forced into hiding.
Therefore, Ling Yuling wanted to find the former allies and form a new alliance to resist this impending calamity.
This wasn't just for her sake, but for the sake of all living beings.
"This calamity will inevitably sweep through the Vast Expanse. If we don't want history to repeat itself and the Black Calamity to return, we must find a way to stop it in advance. Otherwise, no one will be spared," Ling Yuling said solemnly.
"I didn't expect you to have such grand ambitions. I admire you."
However, upon hearing this, Fairy Qing's expression remained unchanged. She simply shook her head and said, "Preventing the Black Calamity from returning is indeed our duty, but please forgive me. I truly lack the strength to do so now."
Ling Yuling was stunned, not expecting Fairy Qing to refuse so directly.
"Why? Do you plan to hide in this chaotic Spacetime Sea forever?" she asked, puzzled.
Fairy Qing calmly replied, "My abilities are limited, and I know my limits. If this calamity is truly coming, it's not something my strength can stop. I am the guardian deity of this floating land, and I need to protect the beings here. I cannot leave with you."
"You can bring them with you. The Imperial Immortal Palace I established is now one of the strongest sects in the Prime-Origin Civilization. Protecting them won't be a problem. This calamity can't be stopped by just you and me, but every bit of strength helps," Ling Yuling continued to persuade.
Fairy Qing shook her head, "They bear marks. Once they leave here, they will be discovered by Shadows and Shadow Emperors, and the endless pursuit that follows is beyond your imagination."
"All these years, it's only been thanks to the relics my mother left behind that we've been able to protect them safely. The light barrier you saw earlier not only defends against external attacks but also conceals the aura of this place."
Hearing this, Ling Yuling fell silent.
If that was truly the case, she didn't know how to persuade Fairy Qing further.
But would she really return empty-handed after coming all this way?
Recently, she had been feeling a strong sense of urgency and unease, as if some great disaster was imminent.
At her level, such premonitions were never baseless.
"Don't waste your energy. Back when all your allies were at their peak, you couldn't completely destroy the Heaven-Warring Organization. Now, after countless years, some have passed away, some have vanished, and some have been killed. Even you are no longer at your full strength. What can you really do?"
"And what kind of enemy will you be facing? Don't you understand?" Fairy Qing spoke calmly, but her words were harsh.
"Are we really powerless to do anything? Can we really do nothing?" Ling Yuling indeed felt a sense of helplessness.
The remnants of the Heaven-Warring Organization had been hiding somewhere in the Vast Expanse, quietly biding their time, waiting for the Lord of Heaven-Warring to return.
"Could it be that the seal at the Source of the Dark Calamity has already been broken?"
Thinking of this possibility, Ling Yuling couldn't help but shudder.
Fairy Qing sighed, seemingly a bit helpless, then turned and walked toward a certain direction.
"Follow me," she said.
Ling Yuling was slightly stunned, then stood up and followed her. Behind the hall was a cliff shrouded in mist, with vines and orchid twining around it. In the middle was a cave filled with radiant light, exuding an immortal aura.
"This is the cave where my mother used to seclude herself. It contains some of her notes and records," Fairy Qing said as she casually dispelled the restrictions on the cave and walked in.
Ling Yuling hesitated for a moment but eventually followed her inside.
The cave was spotless, without a trace of dust. Around it were rows of bookshelves filled with ancient scrolls, jade slips, and handwritten notes.
Fairy Qing walked over, waved her hand, and a slip of paper surrounded by a faint light floated over. She handed it to Ling Yuling.
"What is this?" Ling Yuling was puzzled but took it and began to read carefully.
At first, she was still confused, not understanding what Fairy Qing meant. But as she read further, she was shocked, finding it hard to believe, and was completely stunned.
"This... how is this possible?" Ling Yuling murmured, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"This is a handwritten note by my mother. I found it after she passed away while organizing her belongings," Fairy Qing said calmly.
"This is indeed Nan Zun's handwriting. I wouldn't mistake it."
Clutching the note tightly, Ling Yuling felt a heavy weight in her heart, as if a mountain had suddenly been placed on her shoulders.
She had thought that after that battle, peace and tranquility had returned to the world. But it hadn't. Instead, the undercurrents had become even more turbulent.
