Chapter 2503 The Curse of the Li Family
Li Xu turned to look at the person beside him who was already unconscious, then suddenly gritted his teeth and said to Luo Tian in a trembling voice, "If you want to turn me into a human puppet, I am willing, but I only hope that you can spare this person beside me..."
As he spoke, his tone was filled with pleading.
On the other side, Luo Tian exclaimed in shock, "Human puppet? We have no grudge against each other, why would I turn you into a human puppet?"
Li Xu looked at Luo Tian blankly and said, "Could it be that you, sir, did not come here to kill us?"
Luo Tian, his face dark, said, "I was just passing by! If it weren't for this guy..."
He pointed to the spot where Liu Laoba had just fallen and continued, "I wouldn't have killed him if he hadn't attacked me first!"
"I see. So, sir, you are not that great terror from the Netherworld?" Li Xu asked nervously.
"A great terror? What is that?" Luo Tian immediately became interested.
Seeing that Luo Tian didn't know, Li Xu felt a pang of suspicion, but he also relaxed.
Since it's not the terrifying thing from legend, then everything is fine.
Thinking this, he took a deep breath before explaining, "Well... actually, I've only heard some rumors! Legend has it that the Netherworld Spirit Realm was originally a place at the end of reincarnation, outside the Three Realms and Five Elements, and the laws of the heavens and the rules of heaven and earth cannot interfere with this place!"
Luo Tian nodded and said, "This place is indeed strange!"
He couldn't help but recall the time when his soul power had dissipated.
Li Xu continued, "There are many theories about why it is like this! But when we combine them, three legends are the most likely! First, it is said that this place was the Daoist temple of an ancient great power! However, that great power went mad during his cultivation and perished here! But his strength was too great, and although he perished, his Dao did not perish. In his state of demonic possession, he completely polluted this world, which is why this place is what it is today!"
Luo Tian turned to look around and said, "This doesn't seem right. That guy just attacked me!"
After glancing at Luo Tian, Xu Lu said, "The second theory is similar to the first! This second legend also holds that the Yellow Springs Spirit Realm was the Daoist temple of a powerful being! However, this powerful being did not die, but his condition seemed to have deteriorated, and he was almost insane! It was precisely because of his mental instability that he distorted the rules of heaven and earth here, turning the Yellow Springs Spirit Realm into a deadly place!"
Luo Tian stroked his chin and said, "Crazy? Was the person who attacked me earlier a madman?"
Li Xu didn't understand what Luo Tian meant, so he could only continue, "Besides that, there is a third legend, which I think is the most likely one!"
"Oh? Tell me about it!" Luo Tian said, looking at the other person.
Li Xu took a deep breath and glanced around, as if he was wary of something.
After a long while, he finally mustered up his courage and continued, "The third legend is that this Netherworld Spirit Realm is actually a prison!"
"A prison?" Luo Tian asked curiously.
Li Xu nodded and said, "Legend has it that in the deepest part of the Yellow Springs Spirit Realm, a great terror capable of destroying all the heavens and myriad worlds is imprisoned! Once this great terror breaks free, it will be the end of all worlds! However, this great terror has been imprisoned here by the ancient sages of all ages and sealed with many layers of seals! But even under such powerful seals, a trace of his aura that escaped from the seals has distorted the Yellow Springs Spirit Realm into a desolate place different from all the heavens!"
After saying these words, Li Xu's eyes turned terrified.
On the other side, Luo Tian, upon hearing this, was equally shocked and asked, "Destroy all the heavens? Great terror? Why do you believe that this legend is true?"
When Luo Tian asked him this question, Li Xu's face clearly showed hesitation.
However, after glancing at Luo Tian and then at the place where Liu Laoba had just died tragically, he forced himself to say, "That's because... my ancestor was a soul cultivator in ancient times! Moreover, he almost entered the Great Dao through soul cultivation!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Tian couldn't help but glance at Li Xu.
It should be understood that the difficulty of cultivating the soul to reach the Great Dao is extraordinary.
Throughout history, to his knowledge, there has only been one and a half people who have been able to do this.
The Spirit Ancestor of the Myriad Origins Spirit Land is one of them.
The one in the ethereal sea of clouds relied on the sacrifices of Buzhou City in the Great Wilderness, so he can only be considered half a person, and now he has been completely removed from the list.
The fact that their ancestor had reached that level in ancient times demonstrates their immense power.
Meanwhile, Li Xu, clearly unaware of Luo Tian's thoughts, continued, "That ancestor attempted to break through several times, but was unable to overcome the final hurdle! Even finding a treasure containing the power of the Great Dao during the Great Dao competition didn't help!"
"In order to seek a final breakthrough, he finally decided to enter the Netherworld Spirit Realm to find an opportunity!"
Luo Tian looked at him and asked curiously, "So he succeeded?"
Li Xu glanced at Luo Tian with a strange look, then shook his head and said, "Of course not! After that ancestor returned from the Yellow Springs Spirit Realm, he went completely mad! He began to massacre the clan, killing our Li family, this top-tier soul cultivation family in the world, until our talents were almost wiped out, and we were almost exterminated!"
"However, at the very last moment, this ancestor finally regained his senses! But by then, he realized it was too late! He felt deeply guilty and knew he could not completely escape that madness, so after regaining his senses, he chose to self-destruct his sea of consciousness and perish completely! Before he perished, he left behind a sentence!"
Luo Tian pressed further, "What did you say?"
Li Xu took a deep breath and said, "He said that the Yellow Springs Spirit Realm is a dead zone of the Great Dao, and future generations must never go deep into it!"
"A death ground for the Great Dao?" Luo Tian frowned, then looked at Li Xu and said, "If that's the case, why did you still defy the ancestral teachings and come to the Yellow Springs Spirit Realm?"
Li Xu opened his mouth, then said helplessly, "I have no choice! Ever since the tragedy that year, it seems that the bloodline of my Li family has been cursed! Since then, all the descendants of the Li family have been top geniuses from birth, and their cultivation techniques far surpass those of ordinary families!"
Luo Tian was taken aback upon hearing this and asked, "Are you sure this is a curse?"
What kind of curse could make a family full of geniuses?
Li Xu gave a bitter smile and said, "I haven't finished yet. Although the disciples of my Li family have extraordinary talent in cultivation, even if they cultivate to the peak of the Breaking Dao Realm, they will only have a lifespan of one thousand years! After a thousand years, even if their life essence is at its peak, they will quickly decline and die!"
