Chapter 699: Origin of the Three Treasures
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
A youth stepped out from the Fusang tribespeople and walked to stand in front of Li Yunmu. He bowed and said, “Gods, what are your instructions?”
Li Yunmu gave him the magatama and the mirror to him and said with a faint smile, “We cannot continue staying here. These two items will guard the peace of your tribe.”
“Gods, must you both leave? You cannot abandon our Fusang Tribe! What if some creature like the eight-headed great snake appears again?”
Li Yunmu sighed. “Actually, I am not a god. I am the same as you, only a mortal. And right now, I have a very important matter to attend to so I must leave.”
The eyes of everyone in the Fusang Tribe filled with despair, but they had no way out. After all, they could do nothing about the decisions of gods.
“No, don’t say that you are not gods! You are our gods, the eternal benefactors of the Fusang Tribe.”
“If you truly consider us as your eternal benefactors, then do as we say!”
The leader of the tribe received the mirror and the magatama while choking with emotion. “These are the gifts of the gods. From now on, they will be called Yata-No-Kagami and Yasakani-No-Magatama!”
Miss An smiled faintly. “Since he gifted you the two treasures, I will also give you a present! This sword will be my gift. Henceforth, it will be the symbol of your tribe’s dominance.”
When Miss An presented the Netherworld Sword, the people of Fusang Tribe were full of excitement for having received a treasure.
“Many thanks to the two gods. Our Fusang Tribe will take care of them as long we live.”
Li Yunmu sighed and muttered apprehensively, “If it wasn’t for them worshiping us as gods, I wouldn’t have bothered with the life and death of the Fusang Tribe.”
The leader of the Fusang Tribe took the sword and said with excitement, “This sword will be called Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi in the future and will be the symbol of gods.”
That was the origin of the three sacred treasures, but no one knew that an eight-headed great snake was sealed inside the Yata-no-Kagami while a nine-tailed divine fox was sealed inside the Yasakani-no-Magatama.
Several hundred years later, the two sacred treasures were still in conflict with each other, because the divine beast and the devil beast sealed inside them could not accept the other.
Because of the three treasures, the Fusang Tribe sunk into constant battle. It divided into various factions which kept warring among themselves to obtain the three sacred treasures.
Naturally, there were even some crazy people who surprisingly wanted to unseal the eight-headed great snake from the Yata-no-Kagami to continue wreaking havoc in the human world!
Thus, after the departure of Li Yunmu and Miss An, the Fusang Tribe’s life became much more chaotic.
Li Yunmu led Miss An through difficult terrain toward the Central Emperor Mountain. If nothing went wrong, they would soon enter the Ancient Lands.
The entrance was the Crow Soul Valley. It was the gateway to the Ancient Lands which had been guarded for many generations.
Li Yunmu and Miss An reached the end of Crow Soul Valley, where lay the entrance to the Central Emperor Mountain. It was covered by thousands of miles of snow, which reminded Li Yunmu of the Land of Ice.
There was a secret power in the Central Emperor Mountain known as Feixue Sect.
They were the hegemons of the Central Emperor Mountain for many years, and the countless beasts and monsters of the Central Emperor Mountain bowed their heads in front of them. None of them dared to act recklessly.
When Li Yunmu and Miss An suddenly entered the Central Emperor Mountain, several pairs of eyes focused their attention on them.
“Are they not afraid of death, surprisingly daring to charge into the Central Emperor Mountain?”
“They are only two humans, quickly report to senior apprentice sister that strangers have intruded. We need to teach them a lesson.”
Li Yunmu and Miss An were walking forward, leaving fresh tracks on the snow. It was an extremely beautiful sight.
“Is this truly the way to the Ancient Lands? Are you sure that you aren’t mistaken?”
Miss An looked at Li Yunmu with suspicion. She was wearing a cloak which wasn’t able to stop the cold. The snow on the Central Emperor Mountain was a little excessive, chilling her to the bone.
Li Yunmu was more intelligent than Miss An and had prepared some warm clothes beforehand.
Miss An was constantly rubbing her hands and taking deep breaths. The bitter cold was even more intense than in the Land of Ice.
As the snow continued falling from the sky, a few figures could be seen flying on a sword. They moved toward them and descended on the ground once they got close.
“Who are you people? Why have you intruded upon our Central Emperor Mountain? This isn’t a place you can enter at will.”
Miss An curled her lips. “Who are you? What’s the problem with us coming here? We can’t come? This isn’t your territory!”
A beautiful woman took a step forward with a cold and detached expression on her face.
“This is the territory of Feixue Sect. Did you two perhaps take a wrong path? Even with that being the case, don’t blame our Feixue Sect for being impolite,” she said indifferently.
When Miss An saw that the people before them were being unreasonable, she pulled out her sword and furiously said, “You unreasonable people, do you want to fight? Then come!”
Li Yunmu promptly stopped Miss An, then said to the beautiful woman, “Young miss, there might be a misunderstanding here! We are only passing through here. As for our destination, we want to reach the Ancient Lands.”
When the beautiful woman heard Li Yunmu’s intention to go to the Ancient Lands, her complexion changed. It because much colder than before.
“Arrest them for me! These people are clearly conspiring against our Feixue Sect!”
Li Yunmu was somewhat dumbfounded. He had told them the truth, so why were they acting as if he was a heinous scoundrel?
[They are responsible for defending the final checkpoint to the Ancient Lands, and you just showed them your hand, so of course they will target you,] the system said.
Li Yunmu wanted to explain himself again, but the beautiful woman didn’t give him the chance to speak. The sword in her hand rushed forward to strike him.
Li Yunmu was incomparably astonished when he saw it; the woman’s sword technique was very familiar to him. It was clearly the technique used by Sword Sage, so how could the people of Feixue Sect use it too?
He pulled out the divine cyan blade and fought against the people of Feixue Sect. However, since his strength had taken a qualitative leap, the people of Feixue Sect were not his opponent.
After a few strikes, the disciples of Feixue Sect were forced back by Li Yunmu’s blade intent!
