Chapter 1588
Gu Yi was was all smiles. His figure was stooped, white hair carrying a faint golden radiance, congratulating the Emperor Clans’ supreme being like these.
These people felt a bit of a creeped out feeling, because this didn’t match this old fella’s normal behavior.
“Comparable to the great ancestors? This type of thing, there’s no need to say any more.” The middle-aged expert from Shutuo bloodline said.
When the others heard this, they all shivered, feeling great restraining fear, to the extent where they were a bit terrified inside. Ranking in this world was strict, the undying kings were known to be without equal, no one able to compare to them!
In this great world, as long as their names were called, there would be magical projections that would appear. This type of matchless might was simply beyond comprehension.
One had to understand that the ancient world was extremely vast and boundless, many times greater than all of the Nine Heavens Ten Earths added together!
Chi Menghong, Yu Yu, Suo Gu and the others stood up as well, looking at Shi Hao at the same time, their expressions cold, murderous light flashing past.
Some of these Emperor Clan young experts really wanted to kill Shi Hao. While bathed in blood, they really did have unstoppable appearances!
There were others who developed murderous intent because they were refined in the same furnace. It was because when one thought about it, this time, they became stronger because of Huang, basically basking in his limelight, making them feel like there were pricks in their hearts. They wanted to take action, decide who was stronger through this battle.
“Raising Gu[1]!” Gu Yi’s voice was incredibly soft, but the youngsters still vaguely heard those two words.
This made the expressions in their eyes even more cold. The so-called Raising Gu was placing a group of divine bugs in a sealed container, have them fight bitterly, only a single king could walk out alive.
What was this old thing trying to say? These individuals all felt extremely uncomfortable. They had previously remained in the same Yin Yang Furnace, yet they were now compared with this analogy?
Chi Menghong and Yu Yu were full of killing intent. If news went out like this, it would greatly damage their reputation. At the same time, they felt like it really was Huang who helped them, so they wanted to eradicate the main source!
Soon afterwards, they left Stone Valley. Many people met them with smiles, congratulating them.
“Dao friends, this way please. This is a matter worth celebrating, I have arranged a feast. There will be Immortal Ancient wine, let’s all share a drink, what do you all think?” Gu Yi said.
The group left this place, guided into a spacious area. There were brilliant golden palaces built on the mountains, these buildings flowing with waves of immortal mist.
This was Gu Clan’s important area, only when esteemed guests and undying existences visited would they be led here. It could be said that these people were treated extremely courteously.
“These palace halls... it has supported the footprints of too many great figures in the past, a place worth visiting for later generations. In the last great era, Without End Immortal King, Reincarnation Immortal King and other matchless experts have come here.”
Anlan bloodline’s cultivator said, deeply moved.
The others were shaken, all of them paying close attention. The golden palaces were moved over from the Nine Heavens’ side, before that, it was the important place Gu Clan used to welcome immortal kings.
“Little friend, you really are special, can be considered a heaven warping genius, born for battle.” Gu Yi walked towards Shi Hao with a warm smile, carefully looking at him.
“Bring the immortal wine!” Then, Gu Yi ordered people to bring wine.
“It can’t really be wine from Immortal Ancient Era, right? Just how many years have already passed? If it was preserved like this, can it even be drunk?” A few people had puzzled looks.
Soon afterwards, someone brought over a wine jar, the colors sparkling, carved out of jade. It carried flowing light, at the same time had a type of restrained immortal aura, giving off a natural feel.
Inside the golden palace, waves of gasps sounded, and then exclaims of admiration sounded.
“What rich wine fragrance!”
Putong!
Moreover, there were immediately people who passed out from intoxication, unable to withstand this type of fragrance.
Alcohol alone definitely couldn’t do this, everyone knew that the so-called fermentation contained a mysterious dao aura, a wave of secret force swirling through it.
This should be rare precious wine. Many people sighed in astonishment, all of them raising their glasses. When they saw the wine so viscous it was like jelly, they felt a drunken feeling before they even drank.
Then, large amounts of people collapsed, because as soon as they took a sip, they immediately passed out.
“This wine really is strong! Was it brewed specifically for undying beings?” Scarlet King bloodline’s supreme being, after drinking a cup, unexpectedly felt his body stagger.
Then, he sat in this palace hall, not paying anyone else any attention. This type of wine contained dao laws, worth experiencing.
Soon afterwards, the entire great palace became quiet, no one speaking anymore.
“Little friend, this way please.” Gu Yi called out to Shi Hao, leaving the ancient palace.
Within the palace, Chi Menghong opened his eyes. He didn’t drink the wine, eyes releasing chilly radiance, coldly saying, “Gu Clan, you are in our world, don’t tell me your heart is still with Imperial Pass? Do you want to have your clan wiped out?!”
When Gu Yi and Shi Hao left, there was also Gu Hong, someone who previously also entered the Yin Yang Furnace with the six young emperors, also obtaining tremendous benefits there.
“Hong’er, you don’t need to follow us.” Gu Clan’s elder said, only bringing Shi Hao back to Stone Valley.
“Is there anything you want to say to me?” At this point, even Shi Hao revealed a strange expression. This old fellow crippled him first, and then indirectly helped him accomplish his aim, using the Yin Yang Furnace to reforge his body. Otherwise, how could it be this easy to reconstruct the true self?
“Heh heh, back then... our bloodline was also born in the Nine Heavens. That period was too splendid, immortal kings everywhere, undying kings roaring, the great battle intense. There were even creatures from great eras even further back who emerged, participating, exceptional experts all emerging. That type of brilliance was simply unimaginable!” The elder said with a great sigh.
One could imagine just what kind of glorious era that was. Undying kings fought bloodily, immortal kings rebuked heaven and earth, blood dyeing the two worlds, it really was an alarming sight that shocked past and present.
“In reality, based on the great predecessors’ speculations, that great era could only be considered a small battle, the true miserable war will happen in this great era. Darkness will cover the great earth, blood splash across all worlds, the heavens collapse, a great settling of conflict going to happen. Sigh, being born in this great era has left me terrified and moved! When will that day come, what exactly will happen?” Gu Yi sighed, his wrinkled old face full of excitement, as well as a type of fear.
“What are you trying to say?” Shi Hao asked.
“What I want to say is that being in these times that is known to be history’s most bitter really isn’t easy. My clan wishes to seize back our past glory, or else we won’t survive. If we don’t become immortal kings, we will always be ants, cannot even protect a clan. When facing the most dazzling and bloody era, all clans will have to fight for that glimmer of hope.” Gu Yi said with a sigh.
“What kind of chaos, what kind of settling of conflict?” Shi Hao asked. This was the truth he desired the most.
“When you see the great world wither, hear the war songs of the most powerful, you will know. Unmatched figures will emerge, a few powerful clans return, killing intent will overflow into the heavens, blood soaking many great eras.” Gu Yi said. He was trembling, stirred up, also feeling a type of respect and fear towards the future.
It was because even he didn’t truly understand. These were all words of the deceased elders, the deductions of predecessors.
However, now, he had a chance of fully understanding, because he was going to enter that place, have an audience with that unmatched existence once more.
“What use is there in telling me these things?” Shi Hao asked.
“To demand repayment from your clan, you owe my Gu Clan an undying king!” Gu Yi said coldly.
His figure was short, a bit stooped, but right now, his back straightened, saying with a loud voice, “Back then, my clan could have produced an unmatched expert, an immortal king, but he was attacked by Stone Clan’s ancestor!”
Shi Hao immediately broke out into a cold shiver. There was this type of grudge between the two clans? A chill ran down his back. This meant that this elder didn’t come with good intentions, but rather wanted to settle accounts, clashing with some of Shi Hao’s previous suspicions.
“My Stone Clan’s predecessors are all of indomitable spirit. For the sake of protecting Desolate Border, they fought one after the other, blood dyeing Desolate Border, falling in battle in succession. If they attacked your Gu Clan, there is definitely a good reason!” Shi Hao said.
“Hah!” Gu Yi’s smile was a bit cold, extremely chilly. He didn’t say anything, but his gaze was a bit terrifying.
Ka!
Stone Valley split apart. There was a stone staircase that led underground, precisely the place the Yin Yang Furnace protected. The precious furnace was still here, right now floating in midair. It slowly descended, carrying immortal mist, hazy and indistinct, as if it could crush the heavens for endless time. This type of pressure was suffocating, making one’s flesh feel like it was going to explode!
Gu Yi brought Shi Hao underground.
“Using the body as a seed, the idea was brought up back in Immortal Ancient years. Meanwhile, my Gu Clan’s ancestor was precisely one of the ones who deduced its possibility.” Gu Yi said.
The underground world was dark, extremely dry, this passage extremely long. This was an underground palace, the main road leading straight towards a single direction.
Shi Hao was a bit shaken, because not long ago, he already heard those people’s discussion. The Yin Yang Furnace didn’t appear for endless time because it was used to suppress Gu Clan great ancestor’s magical body, help him survive.
The Yin Yang Furnace was in Stone Valley, so underground... could it be where this clans’ ancestor resided?
At the end of the path was a stone room. It was extremely simple, the stone gate crude, lacking decorative designs, even more so not having any great dao order or other things.
“Great ancestor, in the past, your distinguished self’s dao body broke at the crucial point, your immortal king foundation ruined. Today, I have brought a seed to you, he... succeeded with the body as a seed, moreover experienced endless refinement!”
Gu Yi actually knelt down with a putong sound, extremely devout, and also extremely serious. His forehead touched the ground here, seriously kowtowing.
