Zhao Hongci and the others had left clues about Zhou Juntian on Dark Sea Star, which meant that she should have a certain understanding of him.
As Zhao Hongci’s father, it was very likely that Zhao Tianyi knew more about him.
This was Cui Heng’s guess.
Unexpectedly, the truth was the opposite.
Zhao Tianyi knew very little about Zhou Juntian. Instead, Zhao Hongci had a lot of information about him.
Therefore, Zhao Hongci’s understanding of Zhou Juntian did not come from Zhao Tianyi.
Instead, it was what he had learned after she died in the Door of Heaven and was reborn on Daozhou Star.
“Actually, when I obtained Zhou Juntian’s treasure, I had yet to awaken my previous life’s memories,” Zhao Hongci said very respectfully. “At that time, I had just broken through to the Xiantian realm and interacted with the Heaven Earth Origin Qi of the outside world, so I sensed a strange Essence Energy fluctuation in a nearby cave.”
“At that time, the ignorant were fearless, so I didn’t think much about it and directly went over to investigate. Fortunately, my luck was not bad and I didn’t encounter any danger. I successfully obtained the secret treasure in the cave.”
“Among them are the martial techniques left behind by Zhou Juntian that point to the realm of Myriad Techniques Return to One. There are also some pills and weapons. However, they were already disintegrated when I discovered them and can’t be used anymore.”
“Other than these, there’s only a jade slip and some miscellaneous items, as well as the three Star Maps that contain the mysteries of the Sage Kings. The jade slip is engraved with ancient words. It should be a message.”
“But that jade slip is very strange. It seems to have been sealed by some powerful force. Neither Father nor I can open that jade slip and read the information inside.”
At this point, Zhao Hongci took out a jade slip from her sleeve and handed it to Cui Heng with both hands.
“It’s actually Daozhou Star.” Cui Heng was a little surprised after hearing Zhao Hongci’s explanation. Then, he took the jade slip and enveloped it with his divine sense.
The moment he used his divine sense to envelop the jade slip, he immediately felt a strong mental impact suddenly burst out from it.
It was at least at the Creator level.
Moreover, this was the remnant mental strength from the jade slip that had been sealed for almost 300,000 years. If this mental strength was in perfect condition, one could imagine how powerful it was.
When Zhou Juntian left this jade slip and added a mental impact to it, he probably already had the power of a Dao Lord.
Of course, this bit of strength was not worth mentioning to Cui Heng.
Therefore, the moment this mental power attacked, he used an even stronger divine sense to disperse it.
This way, he could naturally read the contents of the jade slip.
“… The will of the heavens is like a blade. How can it be weaker than me… I want to go against the heavens and flatten the myriad worlds… In this world, no one can stop me!”
Unfortunately, the information inside was fragmented and there was almost nothing of value.
The only thing he could feel was Zhou Juntian’s anger and extreme unwillingness. He had even begun to curse. Clearly, his heart was in a state of near collapse.
What kind of thing could actually make such a Dao Lord realm existence fall into such a mental state?!
Cui Heng had some guesses about this.
He thought of the Juntian Palace at the core of the Dark Sea Star, the memorial tablets placed inside, and the empty memorial tablet without a name.
The memorial tablet of my master, Lin Shanchang, my brother, Chen Yu, my brother, Qian Shushu… My brother… My friend… My disciple… The memorial tablet of my beloved wife, Lin Qingzhu, and my beloved daughter, Zhou Xuanji…
Through these memorial tablets and the emotions left behind in the jade slip, Cui Heng roughly guessed what Zhou Juntian had experienced back then.
A massacre!
However, in an era where the Heaven Realm had disappeared and the Lords of the Heavens almost did not appear, Dao Lords could definitely be considered the strongest group of people in the myriad worlds. Who could destroy Zhou Juntian’s sect?
“Could it be done by Lord of the Heavens Ziyang?” Cui Heng guessed in his heart.
This was indeed very likely.
After all, the inexplicable banishing of Zhou Juntian to the mortal world back then was very confusing
It was not impossible for them to destroy Zhou Juntian’s family after banishing him.
“But what’s the goal of doing this? Could it be to drive Zhou Juntian crazy?” Cui Heng frowned slightly.
He really could not figure out what rational reason there was for these actions.
“Immortal Venerable, this is also something left behind by Zhou Juntian. It seems to be some miscellaneous item. I don’t understand its use.”
At this moment, Zhao Hongci took out an ancient item from her sleeve and offered it to Cui Heng with both hands. “The patterns on it might be words, but I don’t recognize them.”
“Alright.” Cui Heng nodded slightly and took the ancient item.
He observed for a moment and realized that this was an invitation tablet made of many metals.
The patterns on it were indeed words.
It said, “The Fangtian Formless Sect will be established in Qianhong Heaven in 20 years. We sincerely invite Brother Zhou to attend the ceremony.” Qianhong Heaven?
Cui Heng knew this place.
This was one of the Nine Middle Heavens, a Heaven Domain on the same level as the Purple Sun Heaven and the Sacred Demon Heaven.
A long time ago, there had also been Ninth Realm experts in the Immortal World.
The Fangtian Formless Sect was one of the strongest sects in Qianhong Heaven.
In this era, they even have a Lord of the Heavens.
Even among the Nine Middle Heavens, such a sect could be said to be as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns.
When this sect was established, they had invited Zhou Juntian?
This also meant that this sect had a deep relationship with Zhou Juntian and should have a relatively detailed understanding of him.
In the past 300,000 years, Zhou Juntian might even have gone to the Fangtian Formless Sect.
Thinking of this, Cui Heng had already decided where to go next.
Then, he asked Zhao Hongci to take out the other miscellaneous items, but he did not find any important information, so he gave up.
Since he had already decided on the direction of his investigation, Cui Heng directly sent Zhao Hongci and Zhao Tianyi back to Taihong Star and told Xuan Bei and the others to return to Taihong Star.
However, Chu Yao and the other Outer World experts, as well as Zen Master Shantong and the other Creators and Sage Kings who had betrayed Daozhou Star, naturally could not be let off just like that.
Of course, Cui Heng did not kill them.
He only turned them into ordinary beasts and allowed them to move freely on Tianmen Star.
If they died accidentally, they would be reborn on Tianmen Star and continue to be wild beasts.
Since these people did not treat people as humans, he could just strip them of their qualifications to be humans.
After doing all of this, Cui Heng did not head to Qianhong Heaven immediately. Instead, he called Hui Shi and they arrived in a relatively remote starry sky.
The starry sky here was very empty. There were no stars within a million kilometers. There was not even ordinary interstellar dust or meteors. It was clean.
However, the space here was extremely unstable, and there was an extremely destructive spatial storm everywhere.
As long as he used a little bit of the power of the Eighth Realm of the Immortal World, he could create a huge crack in the space here that was more than a million kilometers long.
Moreover, the nomological Dao runes here were strange, as if it was a self-contained system. It was very different from the nomological Dao runes in the vast starry skies of the outside world.
Cui Heng brought Hui Shi here and released his divine sense to sense the spatial state and Dao runes here. He smiled and said, “Previously, I asked you to come here to explore the spatial passageway to the Outer World. Did you discover anything?”
This was the spatial passageway that Hong Fugui had left from.
