Chapter 431 - Eternal Human Emperor
Uncle Liang said, “The ancient war lasted for a whole time and almost spanned across the entire ancient era. Among that, countless human cultivators risked their lives to save the commoners from the disaster, creating a tragic song among the glorious era of the human race.”
“The Primordial Nine Races were way too strong and had already reigned over Tianhuang Mainland ever since the primordial era where there were thousands of races! Under the lead of the Primordial Nine Races, the hundred races joined forces and pushed the humans back. Slowly, the territories occupied by the humans decreased and they were about to be engulfed by the hundred races that were led by the Primordial Nine Races at any moment…”
“The human race was on the brink of extinction!”
Although everyone already knew that the outcome of the ancient war was that the human race stood victorious, everyone could not help but get nervous at that point.
Uncle Liang took a deep breath of air and said deeply, “In that chaos, the Human Emperor appeared domineeringly and overturned the situation! He conquered the four regions and three seas almost singlehandedly, killing multiple emperors among the hundred races and severing the light of providence on the Primordial Nine Races! Sweeping across Tianhuang Mainland, everyone had to bow down everywhere he passed!”
“The Dragon Emperor of the dragon race and the Celestial Emperor of the celestial race? Against the Human Emperor, all of them had to die! Later on, descendants even referred to the birth of the Human Emperor as the subduing of all hundred races as his subjects!”
The cultivators opened their mouths in shock and it took a long time for them to calm their hearts.
“The result of the ancient war was that the hundred races lost massively and were almost extinct. Even the Primordial Nine Races were severely injured and had to each hide in a corner of Tianhuang Mainland, living ignoble existences and rarely showing their faces. The nine areas are known today as the nine forbidden grounds.”
“We’re in possession of many ancient manuals from Elixir Pool Sect and we can’t afford to lose them. I’ll not let Elixir Yang Sect take the risk.”
Nodding, Su Zimo replied, “This is an extremely rare occasion. I’ll head over to take a look but I won’t participate.”
At that moment, Su Zimo told a lie.
Tang Yu more or less understood Su Zimo’s personality and knew that he wouldn’t change his mind easily after deciding on something.
She no longer tried persuading him but merely reminded, “Make sure to stay away the moment you sense something amiss. Don’t get implicated.”
“Thank you,”
Su Zimo greeted with cupped fists.
“Actually, there’s something else about the Human Emperor’s Palace that draws in Foundation Establishment Cultivators.”
Suddenly, Uncle Liang spoke, “It’s said that after the eighth spirit meridian, one can actually unlock a ninth spirit meridian! Nine represents extremity and as such, the nine meridian Foundation Establishment cultivation realm is also referred to as the Extreme Foundation Establishment cultivation realm.”
The mention of that had Su Zimo’s heart skipping a beat.
He had a hunch about that.
When he was unlocking the seventh spirit meridian, he felt that it was not as difficult as what everyone had described.
Su Zimo deduced that it might be because of his spirit energy’s purity.
Up till this point of his cultivation, he had not consumed any elixirs with impurities.
“Legend has it that only the Human Emperor has managed to unlock that ethereal ninth spirit meridian!”
Uncle Liang continued, “Of course, that’s only a legend. After all, throughout history, apart from the Human Emperor, no one has managed to unlock the ninth spirit meridian. Even the seven cultivators who stepped foot into the Human Emperor’s Palace did not manage to do it as well.”
“That’s also why some people want to enter the Human Emperor’s Palace to seek out the secret of the Extreme Foundation Establishment.”
