My Dreams Connect to Ancient Times-Chapter 156 - 15: Beware of Profound Clarity, Beware of Profound Yellow

Li Nezha spoke again:

"Nezha of the Jade Void Lineage, disciple of Taiyi, pays his respects to Master!"

Lu Xuan was baffled. ’Jade Cauldron? Taiyi?’

He hesitated for a moment, glanced at the silent Li Changgeng and Zhu Wuneng beside him, and gathered his thoughts. He showed no fear, simply stating calmly:

"Right now, the only one I know of is Senior Brother Guangcheng." 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

As he spoke, Lu Xuan lightly raised his hand. A broken great seal materialized, followed by a brilliant golden Decree.

"The Heaven-Flipping Seal... and Master Guangcheng’s Decree?!" The four were now completely certain of Lu Xuan’s identity, and a look of immense joy flashed across their faces.

Yang Jian’s voice suddenly grew urgent:

"The celestial light won’t provide cover for much longer. Master, though you haven’t recalled everything for some reason... I’ll keep it brief!"

"Master, you must be wary of the current Life and Death Second Floors, and be careful of the Upper Palace and Earth Palace!"

"And the Demons and Buddhas!" Nezha interjected urgently. "Avoid Demons when you see them, and avoid Buddhas when you see them! If the other Masters and Senior Uncles return in the future, you must tell them! The calamity of that year began with these six!"

Lu Xuan listened to them, completely dumbfounded. He knew about the Life and Death Second Floors, but what the hell were the Upper Palace and Earth Palace?

And Demons and Buddhas...

The calamity of that year—what calamity??

Suddenly, he remembered the great war his Three Masters had mentioned offhandedly, and his expression turned a bit strange.

Just then, the fat old man who had been silent all this time also began to speak in a rush:

"There’s more, there’s more! Venerable, you must also watch out for the Supreme Emperor Profound Yellow and Supreme Profound Clarity! Although those two are also disciples of the Three Pristine Ones, but, but, but..."

He shivered violently.

Yang Jian and Nezha slapped their foreheads and also spoke urgently:

"Right, Master, you must also be wary of those two. Something is wrong with them. They are the suspected Source of all calamities, the suspected masterminds behind the scenes. When the Immortals and Buddhas all return, you must relay our words to the other Masters and Senior Uncles!"

Three question marks appeared above Lu Xuan’s head.

???

He was now utterly bewildered, and his expression turned strange again.

’Be wary of... myself??’

’No, that’s not right.’

A thought struck Lu Xuan. ’It seems these people don’t know that those three are all the same person? What on earth happened in the future—or rather, the past?’

’A calamity... what calamity?’

Just as he was wrestling with his thoughts, Yang Jian spoke urgently again:

"Master, you must have many questions, but we don’t have time to explain. Once the celestial light fades, the cover will be gone. You must leave quickly, and do not, under any circumstances, reveal the events of Gouxian Town to the current world."

"Also, you will recover your memories sooner or later. You must remember what I’ve said, and you must tell the other Masters and Senior Uncles."

He gasped for breath, and seeing the celestial light enveloping the area grow weaker, he spoke even faster:

"The great secret we stumbled upon back then is this: the calamity of the Human Dao originates from the Supreme Emperor Profound Yellow, and the calamity of the Celestial Dao originates from Supreme Profound Clarity! Although these two are our sect brothers, there is something strange about them, something terribly wrong. Remember to be careful, remember to be careful..."

Lu Xuan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but at that exact moment, the celestial light suddenly dispersed.

The four men, the dog, and the ox all returned to their original, placid appearances. They all gave Lu Xuan a deep look; the one carrying a pole resumed carrying his pole, the ones strolling resumed their stroll, and they all ambled leisurely back toward the town.

Leaving Lu Xuan and the just-recovered Qing He and Qing Ping to stand alone, disheveled in the wind.

’Hmm...’

’Supreme Profound Clarity, Supreme Emperor Profound Yellow... there’s something terribly wrong with them.’

Lu Xuan was baffled. ’What could possibly be so wrong with me?’

He touched his cheek, speechless for a long time.
