Chapter 685 The Secret! (Superior)
Chapter 685 The secret! (superior)
Lin Chen was also shocked when he heard that the so-called "ancient aristocratic families" did not only include the three families of Lin, Su, and Ye.
But Bai Saixue is an invincible master who lives in seclusion in the Kunlun Mountains. Naturally, he cannot have any doubts about her words.
Bai Saixue paused and then said:
"More than a hundred years ago, the number of ancient aristocratic families in China was...many! Far more than the three families now!
In that era, although the style of Chinese martial arts could not be compared with that of ancient times, the number of warriors was far more than it is now!
However, ever since that secret spread, the number of ancient aristocratic families has begun to decrease sharply!
And not just ancient aristocratic families, most of those ordinary thousand-year-old aristocratic families also perished quickly because of this secret!
Judging from the results, that secret is an extremely sharp double-sided blade for the warriors of China!
It allows warriors to gain unimaginable power, but at the same time, it also allows warriors to accelerate their own demise!
Later, when the ancient aristocratic family was reduced to just the three of you, some top experts began to realize... This secret must never be obtained by warriors again, nor should it be known to other races. So, they took a very extreme approach!
This method has allowed this secret to be completely buried in the Kunlun Mountains in the past hundred years, and it has also allowed you, the three ancient families, to preserve it.
Maybe...there is God's will in the dark. I was able to see you a few days ago and brought you here, just because God was giving me a hint. It hopes that I can tell you some secrets, and then let you take on the important task of guarding that secret. "
Lin Chen had no trouble understanding the first half of Bai Saixue's words.
Because in China's modern period, many martial arts masters did emerge.
But Lin Chen was confused about the second half of what she said and had no idea at all.
That secret...is it really so terrifying? How could ancient aristocratic families with huge foundations disappear from China one after another? That secret...what exactly is it? The method of immortality should be to make the recipients more and more powerful. How could it be possible that these ancient families had the completely opposite phenomenon?
Bai Saixue could clearly see Lin Chen's confused look.
"You don't have to work hard to figure out the secret. The fact that you are here means you already know a little bit about it.
Yes, that secret is the secret of immortality! But whether it is those who try to obtain this secret, or those who have already obtained this secret... the end is very sad.
I am the best example! There is also the best example to prove this point, Senior Yan Luoxi, lying in this thousand-year ice, who has been dead for nearly a hundred years.
Lin Chen, I don’t know you, but I know the Lin family. I believe... you have extremely correct judgments when it comes to big matters of right and wrong. No matter how you view that secret, I hope... you will never have the extravagant hope of obtaining that secret! "
Lin Chen's experience is extremely special.
He suffered huge changes in his family since he was a child, was kidnapped, and underwent various inhumane experiments on his body. Later, he spent ten years in a life full of bullets and bullets. In fact, he had no idea about the legend of immortality. I'm not too interested in the secrets.
It's very simple. It can be seen from the silver-haired power he originally possessed... Any power that is not his own has unspeakable side effects!
When he came into contact with those with supernatural powers, he strengthened his belief.
The more powerful the power is, the greater the risk it carries!
Therefore, he would not easily expect superpowers like "immortality". He knows... Anyone who obtains this power will pay an unimaginable price!
"Senior, you can rest assured about this. My experience is a bit special...so, I will not expect to get powers that do not belong to me. However, I am still a little curious.
I see that the senior is now standing in front of me alive and well, and his appearance is ageless, and his strength can definitely be called unrivaled in the world. Why are you so afraid of that secret?
Moreover, if I guessed correctly, the senior should also be a descendant of an ancient Chinese family! And, have you been exposed to that secret? "Lin Chen directly raised the biggest question in his mind.
Lin Chen's question made Bai Saixue's expression change slightly.
But after all, her cultivation was extremely deep, and the change quickly disappeared. She just sighed softly, thought for a while, and then said calmly with a slightly lonely look:
"You are right. The Bai family I once belonged to was indeed one of the ancient aristocratic families in China. And I once 'obtained' that secret, so I can maintain the best age in my life.
but! Did you ever know that that secret... would bring unimaginable disaster to people? First of all, I can tell you very clearly that since I came into contact with that secret, I was destined to never leave the Kunlun Mountains again! "
Can’t get out of the Kunlun Mountains?
Lin Chen didn't understand the meaning of this, so he asked bluntly: "Senior, do you mean that... after being exposed to that secret, you will never be able to leave the Kunlun Mountains?"
"Yes! That's what I mean!"
Lin Chen's brows wrinkled: "Senior, I don't quite understand... You seem to have lost the ability to live forever, and you are very powerful. Even if modern technology can threaten your life, with your personal strength... leave In the Kunlun Mountains, that should be an easy task, right?”
"You are wrong." Bai Saixue sighed softly, and then said, "That power...infected us with a breath. And this kind of breath can only be found in the vast Kunlun Mountains! Leave here, I It will be like a fish out of water, it will suffocate and die immediately!"
After hearing this, Lin Chen's eyes bulged and he fell into shock.
But after some thinking, he came up with his own opinion on this strange phenomenon.
The reason why fish cannot survive after leaving the water source is because its body structure is destined to only breathe the oxygen that exists in the water. And now this fairy-like senior cannot leave Kunlun Mountain... Is it because the air in Kunlun Mountain is different from the outside world?
That secret changed her physique so that she could not breathe the outside air, but could only breathe the oxygen here?
Although a little confused, Lin Chen felt that his inference was close to the truth.
Bai Saixue sighed leisurely and said again:
"Lin Chen, apart from the fact that I can't be here, that secret has also caused me the greatest pain that has tortured me for nearly a hundred years!"
