Chapter 304: 38: The Crown Prince Returns, Lord of Yan’s Imperial Decree_2

Zhao Huai was able to mention terms like the Immortal World and Illusory Southern Sea, indicating that he had already formed a precise concept and learned some secrets that ordinary people don’t know.

“Immortal World?”

Song Zhishu looked puzzled.

Zhao Huai explained: “As early as the Middle Ages, this division existed. This world is the Immortal World. In addition to this, there are other worlds beyond the Five States, such as the Heavenly Devil World and the netherworld.”

“That’s right.”

Yang Biao nodded, agreeing: “In the past hundred years, as the Great Epoch approaches, various ancient forces hidden in the dark are eager to move, demons and ghosts roam rampant. Central State seems calm, but in reality, countless disasters are hidden within.

“Five hundred years ago, before Ancestor Yan Zu ascended, he single-handedly suppressed the four worlds and brought peace to the world. However, he also warned that five hundred years later, the Great Epoch would come, and the Middle Ages of Immortal Cultivation would reappear.”

“The Five Immortal Sects all have heavenly spiritual roots in the world, which is rare and impossible to happen before. With the appearance of the Immortal Spiritual Roots that haven’t appeared in ten thousand years, I’m sure the Great

Epoch is soon to come the moment I saw Your Royal Crown Prince.”

Upon hearing this, Song Zhishu and Zhao Huai’s expressions turned solemn.

Worry appeared on Granny Su Li’s aged face, and she said:

“Instead of saying that it’s the return of the Middle Ages of Immortal Cultivation, it’s more like a reshuffling. When the time comes, there will inevitably be chaos. The Great Epoch is a chaotic age where various powers will fight each other, and countless bloodshed will arise from selfish interests. Demons and monsters will emerge one after another, and even the Mighty who have been in seclusion for many years won’t be able to stay out of the fray. It’s definitely not as peaceful as it is now.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Huai couldn’t help but think of the scene he saw on the stele of Hetu and Luoshu. The consequences of internal contradictions among the immortals in the Ascension Realm led to chaos in the lower realm.

Zhao Huai has read about the description of the Middle Ancient and Ancient Times in books. That was an era of survival of the fittest where there was no distinction between demons, humans, and the bizarre. The human race was just one of the many races and didn’t have the dominant position it is today.

It was only because of the millions of years of struggle, blood, and lost lives that the human race’s ancestors built the prosperity of the human race.

If such chaos were to restart, it would undoubtedly be a loss to the entire Immortal World.

Although the Great Epoch is full of opportunities and fate for cultivators, it’s a nightmarish era for ordinary people where even the lives of cultivators are fragile.

Zhao Huai realized that there were even more challenges waiting for him in the future.

“I heard you guys are trying to form an alliance with the Shenluo Empire to suppress the Western State’s entrance together?”

Zhao Huai looked at Granny Su Li and asked with a serious tone.

“To be exact, it’s the heavenly earth altar.”

Granny Su Li said seriously.

“Heavenly Earth Altar.”

Zhao Huai repeated, murmuring.

“Since Your Highness is here, I’ll be straightforward.”

Granny Su Li thought for a moment and then slowly said, “Before Ancestor Yan Zu ascended, he set up thirty-six Heavenly Earth Altars to suppress the entrances to the other worlds. He also had people like us guard the altars from generation to generation. Both General Yang Biao and I went to the Western State Altar at that time.”

“Thirty-six? I thought there was only the Illusory Southern Sea.”

Zhao Huai was thoroughly shocked.

Granny Su Li explained: “The Illusory Southern Sea, guarded by the Limitless Immortal Sect, is just one of them.”

The middle-aged man named Yang Biao nodded: “Each Heavenly Earth Altar can lead to other worlds as well as allow beings from other worlds to come through. If the altar is broken, the enemies of the Immortal World from the past will pour in, and their armies will arrive instantly.”

Zhao Huai finally understood why the people who served under Ancestor Yan Zu disappeared in history. Guarding the Heavenly Earth Altar was more important than the fall of Great Yan Country.

There’s still hope for the revival of Great Yan, but if the Immortal World was invaded by countless other worlds, that would be the end. “So that’s why you want to join forces with the Shenluo Empire?”

“Yes, the Shenluo Empire should understand this truth.”

Zhao Huai said, “But I heard that the Shenluo Empire has already reached an agreement with the Devil Sect. Moreover, I had failed Princess of Shenluo earlier, so I’m afraid forming an alliance would be difficult.”

He didn’t think the Shenluo Empire would be a reliable ally.

Now that his Madam is Xia’s Empress, forming an alliance with Xia is a better choice. However, there is a deep-rooted resentment between the citizens who served the two sides. It wouldn’t be that simple to resolve it.

Upon hearing Zhao Huai’s words, Yang Biao and Granny Su Li remained silent.

The Royal Crown Prince’s words carried more credibility than Song Zhishu’s.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Huai finally asked, “Why did you guys come back from Western State?”

“Because the Heavenly Earth Altar in Western State had an accident.” Granny Su Li said solemnly.

Yang Biao sighed and explained, “A few powerful Demon Kings arrived at the Western State Altar, attacked us, and destroyed the village in one swoop. We were the only ones who escaped, and the other cultivators died in battle.”

No wonder.

Zhao Huai frowned, suddenly understanding their intentions.

The reason they wanted to use the Shenluo Empire’s power was that the

Western State Altar was on the verge of breaking, and the situation was urgent.

“Is there a way to awaken the other Great Yan old friends at the altars?” Zhao Huai asked.

Granny Su Li nodded: “Naturally. As long as the Crown Prince uses the national fortune and the qi inherited from the Great Yan bloodline to write an ‘Ancestor Yan Zu’s Edict’, publicize it throughout the world, the Great Yan old friends will be able to sense it as they all have tokens left by Ancestor Yan Zu and can receive it..”
