#74Chapter 74: Huo Yuhao's Ancestor's Experience 10,000 Years Ago
An instinctive chill crept up Lu Jun's spine.
He subconsciously clenched his fists, and the Ice Abyss Sword Martial Soul in his body also emitted a faint humming sound, as if it was alert to something.
Isn't this... Huo Yuhao's undead plane?
Why are you here?
Just when Lu Jun was surprised, Leng Yaozhu noticed Lu Jun's gaze and reaction, walked to his side, and explained in a gentle voice:
"Don't be nervous. This is the core secret hub of the Spirit Pagoda. And that undead plane..."
She looked at the gray-black passage with a hint of respect and emotion in her eyes.
"That was a special demiplane that Huo Yuhao, our ancestor, independently opened up and stabilized with his profound cultivation combined with his god-level spiritual power."
"This plane is connected to our Douluo Continent, but the laws are completely different. It is filled with various types of undead creatures."
"These undead creatures have different forms and strengths."
She turned to Lu Jun and said seriously:
"It is precisely because of the existence of this undead plane that the problem of evil spirit masters that has plagued the continent for ten thousand years has been completely solved."
Leng Yaozhu continued:
"Those evil soul masters who rely on killing and devouring souls to cultivate are controlled by us, suppressing their martial soul instincts."
"Once they are well disciplined and can control their martial spirit instincts and need spirits to improve themselves, they can enter the Undead Plane. Under the protection of the ancestral laws, they can safely communicate with those undead creatures, sign contracts, and transform them into controllable and safe spirits."
"These souls then go through the purification and standardization process of the Spirit Transferring Tower, ultimately becoming 'undead souls' available for fusion with soul masters."
"It is this contract, derived from the wisdom and strength of Huo Yuhao's ancestors, that has transformed the power of those evil spirit masters who once endangered the continent into a beneficial force that maintains order on the continent and promotes the development of spirit masters."
"For nearly ten thousand years, large-scale deaths due to the rampage of evil spirit masters have almost disappeared from the continent. This achievement is attributed to our ancestor Huo Yuhao, who is even more remarkable than our ancestor Tang San was twenty thousand years ago."
She looked at Lu Jun, her eyes gleaming with anticipation:
"And today, your reward is to enter another small dimension opened up by Huo Yuhao's ancestor. There, you will receive the blessing left by Huo Yuhao."
Leng Yaozhu took Lu Jun through another silver portal that emitted strange spatial fluctuations, and the scene before them suddenly became clear.
This is a huge circular hall with a towering dome inlaid with special soul-guiding crystals that emit a soft white light, illuminating the entire space like the dawn.
The air is exceptionally clean, with an indescribable solemnity and ancient atmosphere.
Right in front of the entrance to the temple stands a lifelike statue.
The statue is carved from a white stone that is as smooth as jade, and depicts a young man wearing a simple robe and with a gentle and peaceful temperament.
The most striking thing was that there seemed to be a strange vertical eye outline vaguely on his forehead.
The young man nodded slightly, looking at everyone who entered the hall with gentle eyes.
On the base of the statue are engraved ancient and solemn characters.
"One of the founders of the Spirit Pagoda, Huo Yuhao."
"This is Huo Yuhao's ancestor." Leng Yaozhu said with heartfelt respect.
She stopped and bowed deeply and sincerely to the statue, her movements standard and pious.
Lu Jun also immediately calmed down and stood in awe.
He gazed at the statue of this great man who had changed the landscape of the continent and had a profound impact on the Spirit Pagoda and even the entire soul master world.
I thought to myself:
"It seems that without someone's mental pollution and forced intelligence-lowering aura, this Spirit Ice Douluo is indeed much more normal."
"Not only did it solve the problem of coexistence between humans and soul beasts, but it also developed the Soul Transfer Tower, selflessly donating the undead plane to transform into undead souls, satisfying all the problems of eradicating the root causes of evil soul masters, allowing a large number of people who should have died at the hands of evil soul masters to survive."
"All that he pioneered and the legacy of peace he left behind are truly worthy of such admiration from future generations."
Thinking of this, he also bowed deeply to the statue of Huo Yuhao with the same sincerity.
"Let's go in." Leng Yaozhu stood up and looked at Lu Jun with an encouraging smile on her face. "If ancestor Huo Yuhao is still alive, he would definitely like you."
"Like me?" Lu Jun was surprised and blurted out subconsciously, "Could it be that... Huo Yuhao's ancestor is not dead?"
The thought even scared himself.
Ten thousand years have passed.
It is too horrifying that Huo Yuhao did not ascend to the God Realm but survived on the Douluo Continent.
Leng Yaozhu was startled when she heard this, then laughed and shook her head, with a hint of nostalgia in her eyes:
"No, Huo Yuhao's ancestor did not successfully ascend to the divine realm. The lifespan of mortals eventually comes to an end."
"According to accurate historical records, before our ancestor's lifespan ran out, the last place he appeared was right here at our Spirit Pagoda headquarters, the core area he personally opened up and protected."
She raised her hand and pointed to the depths of the hall, her voice carrying a distant meaning:
"Therefore, this place has been revered by all the members of our Spirit Pagoda for generations as the Ancestral Tomb. Even though we have spent a full ten thousand years, we still haven't been able to find the remains of Huo Yuhao's ancestors."
"However, there are still many notes written by our ancestor Huo Yuhao here. He shared his lifelong experience and skills with future generations without reservation, allowing us to stand on his shoulders and reach for higher and broader skies."
Leng Yaozhu led Lu Jun around the statue and into the depths of the hall while continuing to explain:
"And this secret realm was specially opened up by our ancestor Huo Yuhao as a gift to the most core descendants of the Spirit Pagoda. Its purpose is to give us blessings and opportunities, to help us, the descendants, improve our strength and better protect the ideals and foundation he left behind."
The two walked along the wide passage, with towering stone walls on both sides. The walls were not blank, but covered with exquisite murals and reliefs.
The content of the mural clearly records Huo Yuhao's turbulent life ten thousand years ago.
From the hardships of awakening his spirit eye martial soul as a teenager, to studying at Shrek Academy, and forging deep bonds with his companions...
Later, he had a disagreement with Shrek Academy, left Shrek Academy, and founded the Spirit Pagoda on his own, showing his foresight and vision. He even opened up the Undead Plane and achieved great success in resolving all crises on the continent...
Each mural is lifelike and full of the weight of history.
As Lu Jun walked and looked, he was even more shocked.
It was exactly as described in the history books.
Huo Yuhao here joined Shrek Academy in the early stage, but later seemed to have disagreements with the philosophy of Shrek Academy, so he went out on his own. In the end, he developed a soul system, cooperated with soul beasts, and created the Soul Tower.
The Huo Yuhao shown in this mural is full of wisdom, tenacity, loyalty and righteousness, and also has the brilliance of humanity and the compassion of divinity.
The experience of Huo Yuhao ten thousand years ago was completely written into a true heroic epic.
Despite this, Lu Jun still feels that it is far more real and moving than some forced biographies of great and glorious people.
After all, both the history books and the murals here have truly described Huo Yuhao's story.
Lu Jun also saw that there was a mural describing him as the son of the White Tiger Duke of the Star Luo Empire ten thousand years ago, and Huo Yuhao also completed his revenge as he wished, and the final result was that the Star Luo Empire was completely destroyed.
It also helped the Sun-Moon Empire complete the unification of the continent, achieved great unification, and combined resources to make the development of future generations smoother.
One of the paintings left a deep impression on Lu Jun.
Duke White Tiger was kneeling on the ground, crying bitterly, holding someone in his arms. The whole room was filled with bloody scenes.
Huo Yuhao in the picture seemed to have completed some important task, as if he had been relieved of a heavy burden, walked out of the room, and came to another new world.
Of course, Lu Jun didn't know the specific information.
Historical records and murals do not describe it in great detail.
For a more detailed answer, I'm afraid we have to ask Huo Yuhao himself from ten thousand years ago to understand the whole process.
