Eternal Pill Emperor

The funny thing is, I don't even know why I am lost."    

Gu Xuan smiled bitterly.    

He began to recall everything that had happened since he had advanced to the peak of the Third Tribulation Realm. Everything, everything, every detail.    

He really wanted to know when this feeling appeared in his heart.    

The only thing he was sure of was that before he reached the peak of the third trial, his heart of martial arts had always been firm without any problems.    

It was perfect.    

Reality proved this.    

He was still at the peak of the 3rd Tribulation, but he had the strength of the peak 4th Tribulation and could even fight against those at the peak of the 5th Tribulation.    

At the very worst, he would only lose and not die.    

At the same time, his soul was comparable to someone at the peak stages of the Fifth Tribulation Realm.    

A peak stage 3rd Tribulation was obviously perfect.    

The problem with his heart of martial arts would definitely occur after he broke through.    

"I've tried to find the chance to break through to the peak stages of the Fourth Tribulation Realm more than once.    

Until the last time, my state of mind was still normal and I didn't feel lost at all."    

Gu Xuan used the method of elimination to gradually shorten the time it took for his state of mind to be affected.    

In the end, everything pointed to the few hours when Princess Vermillion Bird answered his questions.    

During those hours, Gu Xuan asked a lot of questions, and Princess Vermillion Bird answered them as she had promised.    

This allowed Gu Xuan to know a lot about the truth of Burning Heaven Realm.    

And there was one thing that Gu Xuan found very difficult to accept.    

That was, the Burning Heaven Realm was actually just a test site.    

An ancient expert had chosen this test site to verify some things.    

However, after choosing this place as the testing ground, the experts found that the natives here weren't able to meet their requirements.    

They were too weak.    

Therefore, the great powers announced this news and offered a huge reward, hoping that the great worlds of the three thousand worlds would banish the "sinners" of their own world into the Burning Heaven Realm.    

The so-called "sinners" referred to those who had disturbed the order of the worlds and committed a capital crime. They should have been killed by the heavenly punishment.    

These people had obtained a chance of survival and were exiled to the Burning Heaven Realm.    

The price they had to pay for this was to slaughter all the natives of Burning Heaven Realm and replace them as the new "natives" of Burning Heaven Realm.    

In the end, over a million so-called "sinners" were exiled to the Burning Heaven Realm, and after a year of bloody cleaning, they replaced the original Burning Heaven Realm people.    

It was only then that the experiments of the ancient experts were implemented.    

It was just that Princess Vermillion Bird did not say what this experiment was, when it began, and when it ended. Gu Xuan no longer had the desire to know.    

He wholeheartedly considered himself to be a person of Burning Heaven Realm, a native of Burning Heaven Realm, and even his family and friends, as well as everyone who was born in Burning Heaven Realm, were the same.    

But it turned out that all of the people of the Burning Heaven Realm were not the true natives of the Burning Heaven Realm, the true natives.    

The true natives had died a long time ago.    

All the living people of Burning Heaven Realm could be said to be the descendants of the invaders.    

Was there any difference between this kind of Burning Heaven Realm person and the Devil Realm person who wanted to occupy the Burning Heaven Realm?    

If the Devil World's plan succeeded, then Burning Heaven Realm would become the palace of the people of the Devil World, and become the second Devil World.    

Many years later, would the people of the Devil World who were born here also call the Burning Heaven Realm "home"?    

Would they also protect the Burning Heaven Realm, fight to the death with those who wanted to take away the Burning Heaven Realm, and shout the heroic words of protecting their "home"?    

"Even though I have always avoided thinking about this problem, even though I have never thought that it was because of the story told under the Main Hall that affected my Tao Heart, now I have to face reality.    

I'm afraid that it's precisely because of this that I've fallen into confusion. "    

Gu Xuan was finally certain when he had fallen into a state of confusion and what he was at a loss about.    

Even if he didn't want to admit it.    

If he admitted it, he would have to think about it more in order to resolve the confusion in his heart.    

That was why he had been avoiding it. He subconsciously refused to accept it.    

Even after his conversation with Princess Vermillion Bird, he had deliberately hypnotized himself into thinking that this matter would not affect his determination to protect Burning Heaven Realm.    

Even more so, it would not affect his Tao Heart!    

Even if there was a mistake, it would be the fault of the ancestors.    

It had nothing to do with the people now. He didn't need to think about it or care about it.    

The more he thought about it, the more he tried to escape.    

Gu Xuan knew that he had to accept this fact in order to dispel the confusion in his heart.    

"As the descendant of the person who killed all the natives of Burning Heaven Realm, he claimed to be a person of Burning Heaven Realm and fought against the people of the Devil Realm under the slogan of protecting Burning Heaven Realm?    

How ridiculous, how ridiculous! "    

Gu Xuan smiled bitterly.    

How could he accept such a cruel reality?    

"If such a fact were to be spread out, I'm afraid that all the people of Burning Heaven Realm would feel confused and lose the belief to resist the people of the Devil World.    

After all, from beginning to end, the blood that flowed out wasn't the blood of the people of Burning Heaven Realm, so how could they protect the Burning Heaven Realm? "    

Gu Xuan thought to himself.    

What kind of cruel and ridiculous truth was this?    

"Senior, we've arrived at my house. The lights are still on. My husband must have guessed that I would come back, so he's still waiting for me. Hehe.    

Master, please come in!"    

Xue Tiezhu's voice suddenly woke Gu Xuan up from his thoughts.    

Only then did Gu Xuan realize that he had followed Xue Tiezhu to a small village.    

The entire village was in shambles. There were only about twenty to thirty households.    

Gu Xuan recalled that Xue Tiezhu had previously introduced this place to him as the Xue Family Village.    

The Xue Family Village was originally a large village with a population of over ten thousand people. However, in the past hundred years, it had encountered a few major incidents. Some died, and some left. In the end, there were only twenty or a hundred families left.    

They had thought about moving, but they were too poor to move.    

Jiyaa!    

When they heard the commotion outside, a chubby middle-aged woman opened the door and warmly welcomed Xue Tiezhu and Gu Xuan inside.    

An oil lamp was lit in the room, allowing them to barely make out the situation.    

A square table was set up against the wall. On top of it were simple dishes. There were only four bowls of porridge, half a salted fish, and a plate of salted vegetables.    

An elder in his seventies or eighties with white hair was sitting beside the table with an indifferent face.    

A nine-year-old youth with one leg missing sat at the corner of the table.    

It was obvious that everyone had expected Xue Tiezhu to come back tonight, so they had prepared dinner and were waiting.    

The young man was hungry. His eyes seemed to be shining when he looked at the salted fish. When Xue Tiezhu entered the room, he excitedly turned his head and asked him to sit down so that they could eat.    

Xue Tiezhu smiled at Gu Xuan in embarrassment.    

"Senior, I'm sorry. This is my father. He doesn't have good hearing, so he can't speak.    

This is my son, Xiao Ni.    

Xiao Ni, get up and give the seat to Senior! "    

The square table against the wall only had three seats.    

With Gu Xuan's arrival, Xue Tiezhu's wife and the child hanging at the corner of the table could no longer be seated.    

The child called Xiao Meimei seemed to have only just noticed Gu Xuan. She smiled shyly and quickly carried a stool into the kitchen.    

Tie Zhu's wife carried a bowl of porridge and picked up some pickled vegetables with her chopsticks before going in as well.    

From the kitchen came the sound of the two ladies splitting the porridge. There was even a hint of laughter, as if they were happy and satisfied for Xue Tiezhu's safe return.    

Xue Tiezhu warmly invited Gu Xuan to sit down.    

Tiezhu's father couldn't speak or hear, but he could tell that Gu Xuan was a guest. He enthusiastically gestured for him to eat and then started to eat.    

Gu Xuan had long since abstained from food. This dish and porridge really made one lose their appetite.    

However, for some reason, Gu Xuan still started to eat the porridge and the food.    

Seeing that Gu Xuan didn't mind, Xue Tiezhu drank even more vigorously. After drinking more than half of the porridge in one go, he actually started to chew and swallow it slowly.    

And while he was eating, he told Gu Xuan about the interesting things that happened in his family. Gu Xuan didn't laugh, but he made himself laugh.    

As soon as the atmosphere heated up, Xiao Niao ran out as well. He was no longer afraid of strangers. He put his arms around his father's neck and asked Gu Xuan with a happy expression about Martial Cultivator, about the outside world, and about the high and mighty "immortals."    

Gu Xuan replied with interest. Unknowingly, the gloominess in his heart had dissipated quite a bit.
