Chapter 1799: Having a Drink with an Emperor
How could Yu Xuelin and the rest of the Yu Clan not know about this great ancestor of theirs?
They just had never dreamed that Ancestor Qingyang, who had gone missing for eons, would appear right inside the clan at this very time!
Yu Yunhe’s mouth went dry in shock at the fact that this old ancestor had truly returned…
He couldn’t help but glance at Lin Xun. No wonder Brother Lin has been so calm. He probably already knew this, right?
“Yunhe, quickly come and greet Ancestor,” transmitted Yu Bikong.
Yu Yunhe snapped to his senses and hurriedly came forward, kneeling on the ground, “Your incompetent descendant Yu Yunhe greets the ancestor.”
“Your humble descendant Yu Bikong greets the ancestor.”
“Your unworthy descendant…”The clan’s bigwigs as well as juniors all followed suit and got down on their knees, nervous and anticipating at the same time.
Only Lin Xun and the daoist-robed old man remained standing on the field. The atmosphere became extremely quiet and solemn.
This was the influence of an Emperor!
“When my savior has finally visited Jiuhua Sacred Mountain, he is not only regarded as a criminal but also framed by you juniors. Truly absurd.”
The old ancestor’s dispassionate voice resounded in the area.
What?
That kid…saved Ancestor Qingyang?
Yu Xuelin and the other six quasi-Emperors turned pale and looked like they were struck by lightning.
They would tear their hair out and still couldn’t think of a reason why Lin Xun, a supreme Big Saint, could have such a history with their great ancestor!
Meanwhile, Yu Yunhe finally understood why Lin Xun had the token belonging to Ancestor Qingyang. So it’s because this fellow saved the ancestor…
As for Yu Bikong and the rest of the audience, they couldn’t help but gasp as they were shaken to the core.
“Great Ancestor, we didn’t know about this at all. Please forgive us!” pleaded Yu Xuelin.
“That’s right. If we had known that this little friend is your benefactor, then we would never have had the guts to do such a stupid thing.”
“Please show mercy, Great Ancestor!”
The others also spoke up to defend themselves.
The old ancestor waved his sleeve with an indifferent expression.
Boom!
The seven quasi-Emperors were instantly imprisoned.
“Ancestor…” They were so terrified that their souls nearly escaped.
The other Yu Clan’s seniors all paled in apprehension.
The old ancestor’s voice was devoid of any emotional fluctuations, “You lot have made a mess of the clan in your scramble for power and profit. If I weren’t here today, then our centuries of foundation were bound to be destroyed at your hands in the future.
“Starting today, you shall be suppressed in the clan’s forbidden area, the Deepest Underground Cave, for a thousand years to repent and atone for your sins!”
The moment their punishment was announced, Yu Xuelin’s group almost collapsed.
The Deepest Underground Cave!
Raging with the hell fire, it was the place where the clan’s sinners were imprisoned. Even if one had the cultivation of the quasi-Emperor Stage, they would still have to suffer endless torment and agony.
“Thank you...Ancestor, for your mercy!”
It was only after a long time that the seven quasi-Emperors responded in unison, looking like they were dead in both soul and heart.
Their plan to usurp control over the clan had already succeeded, only for everything to be turned around because of Yu Qingyang’s appearance…
With a wave of the old ancestor’s sleeve, Yu Xuelin’s group vanished as they were teleported to their prison.
“What about you; do you know your sins?” The old ancestor turned to the other seniors of the clan.
“We know our sins, we know our sins!”
“Please have mercy, Ancestor. I have never done anything unfavorable to the clan.”
The high-ranking personnel were completely flustered. Yu Xuelin’s group was all quasi-Emperor experts, but they had been sent directly to a thousand years of imprisonment.
Such a ruthless punishment caused them all to tremble in fear.
“I’ll leave it to you, Bikong,” sighed the old ancestor, feeling somewhat worn-out.
Anyone who saw their own descendants acting so incompetently would probably feel sad and disappointed.
“I honor your decree, Ancestor!” said Yu Bikong solemnly.
“Little friend, let’s go have a drink.” The old ancestor waved his hand, taking Lin Xun and Nan Qiu to disappear with him from the platform.
After they left, the crowd heaved a long sigh of relief, feeling as if they had finally woken up from a dream.
When they looked at Yu Bikong, their expressions were complicated.
Someone couldn’t hold back their misgivings. “Patriarch, why didn’t you say anything about Ancestor Qingyang’s return?”
As long as one wasn’t blind, they would be able to see that Yu Bikong had known about the old ancestor’s return beforehand. Yet, he had kept everyone else in the dark about it.
“That was Ancestor Qingyang’s idea,” answered Yu Bikong.
This rendered everyone speechless, and no matter how unwilling they were about this outcome, they no longer dared to oppose Yu Bikong.
Some could already picture their bleak future, knowing for a fact that Yu Bikong’s position would become unshakable after this incident.
On this very day, Yu Bikong, using this authority as the patriarch, ordered a thunderous purge in the Yu Clan.
For a time, the hearts of the clansmen were plunged into panic, and the clan was in disarray.
In any case, all of this no longer had anything to do with Lin Xun.
……
In a small secret realm.
“Little friend, when we parted ways in the Mulberry Woodland, I had a premonition that with your strength, you would definitely set foot on this Ancient Nebula Road one day.”
In front of a simple stone hut surrounded by a gurgling brook, fragrant flowers, and twittering birds, Lin Xun and Yu Qingyang sat opposite each other and chatted over a drink.
Not far away, Nan Qiu had entered meditation as she sat cross-legged on the brook bank.
“Come, drink.” Yu Qingyang raised his cup.
Lin Xun smiled and drank with him. This was the first time he had had a drink with an Emperor expert.[1]
After a long time, Lin Xun finally said, “Senior, I came here to ask for your advice.”
Yu Qingyang laughed, “I wouldn’t dare to give you advice.”
The scene of Lin Xun and the golden cicada back then was still fresh in his mind, and he also knew that Lin Xun had a wondrous Blameless Lamp in his possession.
In the following time, Lin Xun proceeded to voice his doubts.
Yu Qingyang answered him with everything he knew and held nothing back as he gave him a few pointers.
Lin Xun finally learned that the True Dragon Zone was located in a mysterious place in the Ancient Nebula Road, and that the only way to travel there was to use the power of the True Dragon Lineage.
According to Yu Qingyang, there was a True Dragon Clan somewhere in the Great Primordial Chaos World in the Central Star Field.
This also meant that Lin Xun had to go to that region first if the True Dragon Zone was his destination.
“The Ancient Wasteland Alliance? I’ve heard of it. In the primeval era, there was once a group of Emperors who traveled from the Ancient Wasteland Domain to the Ancient Nebula Road, where they had established such a war alliance in order to fight against some powerful organizations.
“However, all this happened so far back in the past. If you are looking for clues about the Ancient Wasteland Alliance, then you may as well pay Divine Apparatus Profound Sect a visit.”
After Yu Qingyang said this, Lin Xun was reminded of something.
The Divine Apparatus Pavilion in the Ancient Wasteland Domain shared the same origin as the Divine Apparatus Profound Sect.
Back then, Ao Zhentian, a descendant of the True Dragon Clan, had traveled to the Ancient Wasteland Domain together with Yin Huan, a disciple of Divine Apparatus Profound Sect, in order to invite Zhao Jingxuan to participate in the Thousand Dragon Celestial Assembly!
Yu Qingyang smiled. “Well, this Divine Apparatus Profound Sect is likewise located in the Great Primordial Chaos World.
“In short, whether it’s the True Dragon Zone or clues about the Ancient Wasteland Alliance that you’re looking for, you can’t go wrong by heading there.”
Lin Xun revealed an odd look.
Not only that, but there was also a jade hairpin given to him by Senior Brother Xuan Kong, which was to be handed over to a person called Jiang Xingque from the Imperial Jiang Clan.
Lin Xun didn’t know who this person was.
But he knew Jiang Heng, who was also a member of the Imperial Jiang Clan, and her sect, the Xuanji Dao Sect, was also located in the Great Primordial Chaos World!
“Looks like I need to make a trip to the Great Primordial Chaos World.” Lin Xun finally made up his mind.
The Ancient Nebula Road was too vast, housing countless galaxies and worlds. He didn’t know how many years it would take for him to find all this information without asking around.
Then, Lin Xun inquired about the Ancient Nebula Underworld.
Despite being an Emperor expert, Yu Qingyang revealed a look of gravity at this topic.
“Little friend, the underworld is regarded as the Land of All Evil, the Realm of Chaos, and has existed for eternity. I advise you not to try to engage with it, for even Emperor experts may be met with disasters by going there.”
Lin Xun’s gaze flickered. “I have already engaged with quite a few assassins from the Earth Treasury Realm and Holy Illumination Ancient Sect over the past few years. They are indeed very secretive, but they don’t seem to be as powerful as the rumors describe.”
Yu Qingyang shook his head. “That only means those assassins are weaker than you, and not that those two dark giants aren’t terrifying.
“You must remember, little friend, that unless one is dead, they can never escape the pestering of those dark forces after becoming their target.”
Lin Xun nodded.
“Fortunately, Emperors of the underworld don’t dare to openly appear on the Ancient Nebula Road. Although incredibly powerful, those who belong to the dark ultimately cannot see the light of day because once they do, they will instantly be preyed upon by the strongest experts of the overworld.”
When Yu Qingyang said that, his expression flashed with a strange look, and he continued, “There has always been a saying on the Ancient Nebula Road that if the whole world becomes your enemy and there is no way to retreat, then the underworld is the only path to survival.”
Lin Xun was stunned and then laughed, “If that day ever comes, I’d actually like to give it a try.”
Yu Qingyang was speechless. “You’d better not. The underworld is chaotic and extremely vicious. It’s not easy to gain a foothold there.”
As the two drank and talked, Lin Xun learned a great deal of secrets about the Ancient Nebula Road from Yu Qingyang.
For example, according to their heritage, the imperial clans were divided into Primeval Imperial, Ancient Imperial, and Contemporary Imperial Clans.
The Yu Clan, for example, was an Ancient Imperial Clan.
In the Central Star Field, there were as many as thirty-six named imperial clans that had survived since the primeval era.
These were all Primeval Imperial Clans!
Among the Great Six Courts, other than the Mythical Huang, the Primordial, the Heaven and Earth, the All-Demon, and the Panwu Dao Court, there was one force that was the most mysterious of them all. It was called—
“Absolute Origin!
