Little junior brother?
Not only Bai Zihe was stunned, but Shangguan Xianling, Ji Xueyun, Yue Rushuang, Murong Mingyue, Yan Zhiyun, and Yao Ke'er were all dumbfounded!
Ji Xianzhuan...
The Palace Master of Xuanyuan Palace actually called Bai Zihe junior brother?
What is going on?
Didn't she already hold sway in the Great Xia Longevity Realm hundreds of years ago, ruling Xuanyuan Palace for hundreds of years? How could she be Bai Zihe's senior sister?
"This..."
Bai Zihe stared at Ji Xianzhuan, his mouth agape, not knowing what to say, and stood there in a daze.
"Confused, aren't you?"
Ji Xianzhuan looked at everyone's reaction and appeared very calm.
Bai Zihe nodded blankly.
The remaining senior sisters' reactions were not much better than Bai Zihe's. On the other hand, Wanwan seemed lost in thought.
"It's time to tell you some truths."
Ji Xianzhuan's gaze turned distant, as if recalling something.
"Junior brother, let me ask you, do you know your master's true identity, where he is now, or what he has been doing all these years?"
This.
Bai Zihe shook his head.
He didn't know much about his master.
But there was one thing.
Even though Bai Zihe now possessed the strength of the Mahayana Realm and held the Xuanyuan Sword, looking back at the past, at the bits and pieces concerning his master and his martial aunts...
Bai Zihe still felt like he was looking at flowers in a fog, very unreal.
However, he had a premonition.
His master and the four martial aunts were definitely not as simple as they appeared. Their origins were absolutely terrifying, perhaps even far beyond his imagination.
After thinking for a moment.
Bai Zihe asked, "Who exactly is Master?"
As soon as he spoke.
The numerous senior sisters also looked at Ji Xianzhuan.
Clearly, they were all waiting for her to provide a reasonable and convincing answer for everyone.
"I am actually your eighth senior sister, and the eighth junior sister to all of them."
Ji Xianzhuan looked directly at Bai Zihe and said calmly, "As for Master... he is the one chosen by Chaos during the last arrival of the dark anomalies!"
"And you, junior brother..."
"You are the one chosen by Chaos during the arrival of the dark anomalies this time!"
This amount of information.
Bai Zihe was utterly bewildered.
Dark anomalies...
He knew about them, and had encountered them more than once, even destroying one group.
But what in the world were "those chosen by Chaos"?
Shangguan Xianling and the other senior sisters were equally bewildered.
Ji Xianzhuan continued, "Simply put, the world we live in now evolved from Chaos. Including the Xuanyuan Sword and the Haotian Tower in your hand, they were all nurtured by Chaos to face great calamities."
"As for the dark anomalies..."
"They are evil existences that were born simultaneously with Chaos during the Chaos era."
"Chaos represents creation, while dark anomalies represent destruction."
"Chaos represents light, while dark anomalies represent darkness."
"Chaos brings vitality, while dark anomalies bring death."
"The two..."
"From the day they were born, they were destined to be enemies, destined to oppose each other, destined to continue for a very, very long time."
"The dark anomalies are the source of the great calamities!"
After this explanation.
Bai Zihe understood a little.
Simply put.
When Chaos was born, the dark anomalies were also born.
The two gave rise to each other and opposed each other.
Every so often.
The dark anomalies would bring about a great calamity.
And Chaos would choose someone to confront this calamity.
His master was the person Chaos chose last time, and he himself was the person Chaos chose this time.
Thinking of it this way.
Bai Zihe became even more curious about his master and his martial aunts, as well as Ji Xianzhuan.
From the last great calamity to this one...
And Ji Xianzhuan was the eighth senior sister. What about the eldest, second, and other senior sisters? Could it be that they had also experienced it?
Not only Bai Zihe.
Shangguan Xianling and the others had the same doubt.
Ji Xianzhuan seemed to see through everything and smiled, "That's right, including the seven senior sisters, they all experienced the last great calamity."
"And..."
"They were outstanding individuals during the period of resistance, and then were taken notice of by Master, Martial Aunts, and Martial Uncle."
Everyone suddenly understood.
"Then..."
Bai Zihe asked the most crucial question: "What exactly are these so-called great calamities? How do they happen, and how do they exist?"
"Great calamities..."
Ji Xianzhuan explained, "Our normal cultivation is actually part of the evolution process of Chaos. We absorb and breathe in beneficial things from heaven and earth, thereby strengthening and perfecting ourselves, possessing powers beyond mortals!"
"In scientific terms, this is a normal evolutionary process."
"In cultivation terms, this is a process of defying fate."
"Dark anomalies..."
"Can also make people stronger, and can also give people power."
"However, this process is extreme, it is rampant, and it is full of plunder. It will bring about many negative effects!"
"For example..."
"The Heavenly Sword Elder you just saw, after being corrupted by the dark anomalies, attacked his own disciples, directly absorbing their true essence and spiritual energy."
"This process..."
"Is a brutal act of plunder, with no regard for consequences!"
"Moreover, the Heavenly Sword Elder himself became evil and violent."
Bai Zihe nodded slightly.
He finally understood.
There wasn't much essential difference between Chaos and the dark anomalies.
The biggest difference.
Was that the process of evolution brought about by Chaos was inherently peaceful and in line with natural development laws and the laws of life development.
Whereas dark anomalies were like pulling up seedlings to help them grow, proceeding through plunder, and they would also affect people's minds, with their entire period filled with brutality and a desire only for destruction.
This was perhaps determined from the moment Chaos and the dark anomalies were born.
"Therefore..."
Ji Xianzhuan added, "The dark anomalies are unwilling to let the evolutionary method of Chaos dominate this world. Throughout the long years, they will choose those filled with ambition, killing intent, and other negative emotions as their spokespersons to destroy this world."
"Their ultimate goal..."
"Is to shroud everything in darkness, to let darkness rule all."
Bai Zihe nodded slightly.
The dark anomalies...
Essentially, they were no different from Chaos.
The only difference was that the method of strengthening people was unacceptable to ordinary beings!
Because.
According to the method of dark anomalies.
The existing order of humanity would be disrupted and overthrown.
Furthermore, if they succeeded, ninety-nine percent of the living beings in this world would die.
Therefore.
For more than ninety-nine percent of people, the dark anomalies were a great calamity.
Now, at this moment.
Bai Zihe finally had some clue about everything, no longer like a headless fly, buzzing around blindly and bumping his head.
Soon.
Bai Zihe thought of another question.
He then asked, "How terrifying are the great calamities brought by the dark anomalies?"
