Chapter 125 Ancient Emperor Appears Amidst Old Stories

In ancient times, Snake Mountain was not what it is today. Back then, it was surrounded by a range of mountains and was the center of a mountain range.

At that time, this mountain range gathered the essence of heaven and earth, containing boundless creation, and a nine-aperture stone embryo was born beneath the earth.

Countless millennia ago, an ancient royal family discovered the secret, mobilized countless people to excavate the mountain, and dispatched experts to suppress the holy spirit.

However, their purpose was not recorded in the mural, and Qi Zhe was unaware of it. He could only guess that they wanted to use the Holy Spirit, or perhaps they wanted to study it.

And it was precisely because of this that they encountered a great calamity. The Holy Spirit was already perfected while still in the stone womb, and his birth would trigger the tribulation of enlightenment, causing the mark of the Heavenly Heart to emerge.

All the creatures that were naturally unearthed perished. Even the unparalleled masters of the ancient royal family were killed with a flick of their wrists, leaving only blood and bones on the earth.

Looking at the various murals, Qi Zhe discovered that there were many descriptions of the birth of the Holy Spirit on the walls, the lines of which, though simple, were quite cruel.

"A celestial calamity that affected entire galaxies!"

The next mural depicts a scene of the Holy Spirit's tribulation of enlightenment, with many stars in the sky shrouded in the celestial tribulation, its scale unimaginable.

But none of these were the most important things. The next mural shocked Qi Zhe, because he saw another man appear.

He was a man of unparalleled charm. Although his features were simple, he possessed an unparalleled aura, as if he stood atop the highest heavens, a level above all others.

The place where he stood was so prominent that even those who had achieved enlightenment had to give way. He looked down over the entire Big Dipper in the sky, and his majesty made even perfect holy spirits bow down.

"Someone had already attained enlightenment back then?! Was it an ancient emperor?" Qi Zhe exclaimed in shock as he looked at the mural.

The ancient royal figure in the mural bows to it and carves a strange character on its head to indicate its identity.

Unfortunately, Qi Zhe did not recognize the ancient divine script and did not know what the characters were, but he could roughly guess that they were the symbol of the ancient emperor.

"Did an ancient emperor cause this Holy Spirit to end in regret?" Qi Zhe suddenly realized why this Holy Spirit did not emerge from the stone embryo even after reaching perfection.

It must have sensed that someone in this world had already attained enlightenment, and even though it had already achieved perfection, it had not yet left this world. If it were not for the excavation by the ancient royal family, it would have avoided this world.

This is a tragedy. Even if one is blessed by the Great Dao and possesses innate divine arts, if someone else has already attained the Dao, even a holy spirit can only avoid it.

"Only one person can attain the Dao in a single lifetime. Even after death, the Great Dao will be suppressed for ten thousand years, and only after ten thousand years can someone else attain the Dao."

However, in the mural, this ancient emperor did not make things difficult for this perfect holy spirit, and even helped him after he failed to transcend the tribulation.

After that, there was no longer any trace of the Holy Spirit on the murals; instead, there were only descriptions of this emperor, recording many ancient events.

Qi Zhe witnessed the glorious past of this ancient emperor who ruled over all the heavens, sat in the Big Dipper constellation, and intimidated the ancient forbidden zone, after thousands of years of fierce battles.

This ancient emperor was indeed extraordinary. He had some hostile forbidden zones and had confronted beings in the Divine Ruins, Immortal Tomb, and Primordial Ancient Mine.

"If the first half of life was like this, what about the second half?" Qi Zhe remained silent for a moment, then chose to continue watching.

After viewing thousands of murals, Qi Zhe gradually arrived at the deepest part of the palace, where a grand hall was located, with murals also remaining among the carved beams and painted rafters.

But what was recorded here was far from simple. Qi Zhe was stunned and speechless for a long time after just one glance.

This site records a funeral, and many murals indicate that an ancient emperor died, and all things in heaven and earth were mourning.

At that time, the Big Dipper lost its color, lightning flashed and thunder roared incessantly in the clear sky, the essence of heaven and earth was constantly depleting, and even the Great Dao could not be perceived.

"Did he pass away peacefully?" Qi Zhe was somewhat shocked. Very few ancient emperors passed away naturally; at least half of them cut themselves off when they entered forbidden zones. No matter how magnanimous they were, they could not escape the life-or-death interrogation.

However, it must be said that it is not that no emperor naturally passed away, just as the ancestor of the Primordial Lake, the Yuan Emperor, naturally passed away without entering the forbidden area.

Some divine emperors faked their deaths and escaped, silently exploring the path to immortality in an ancient coffin, living for millions of years in reverse, their cultivation comparable to that of immortals in the mortal world.

Now Qi Zhe also saw such an emperor, but he didn't know which person from ancient history it was. However, Qi Zhe soon found the answer.

The emperor had three sons who saw him off, countless clansmen mourned him, and many powerful clans throughout the Big Dipper paid their respects.

On one of the murals, Qi Zhe saw a gourd hanging high in the air. It seemed to have human nature, constantly wailing in the sky, which made the Great Dao respond.

Upon seeing this, Qi Zhe could only sigh, "So it really was the Primordial Emperor, one of the few ancient emperors who naturally passed away."

The Yuan Emperor was an emperor who attained enlightenment millions of years ago. No one knows exactly when, but his legend has been passed down for many years.

The main reason was that he suppressed all the heavens during his lifetime, but his clansmen suffered a great calamity after his death. Not long after his passing, two Great Perfection Saints came to seize the Imperial Weapon.

Now, Qi Zhe believes there's more to this story than meets the eye; it might be that past karma manifested itself after his passing.

Upon arriving here, Qi Zhe had examined all the murals. After scanning his surroundings, Qi Zhe frowned and said, "There are no murals from that battle left."

After the Yuan Emperor passed away, the Primordial Lake lineage suffered a great calamity. Two Great Perfection Holy Spirits came to seize the Imperial Weapon, and in the ensuing battle, they nearly wiped out the royal family.

At that time, several ancient royal families were ordered to go to the aid, but those royal families were also destroyed in that battle and disappeared from the land of Beidou.

Qi Zhe guessed that this royal family was the ancient royal family that perished in that battle. They had received the great favor of the Yuan Emperor and escaped the reckoning of the Holy Spirit.

Unfortunately, they could not escape the future. After the great war, the royal family was destroyed, and no one was able to come here to inscribe and record anything.

Today, ancient tales are buried in the dust of history. Looking at the murals, one can only lament the ruthlessness of time, which has taken away a generation of emperors and brought calamity upon their descendants.

"Throughout history, emperors and rulers have all been like autumn leaves, countless of them withering away, and those who are lucky enough to fall into the mud become rotten leaves." Qi Zhe shook his head repeatedly.

At this moment, Qi Zhe also began to scan the furnishings in the ancient hall, walking around the hall, preparing to look for any treasures.

Each of these ancient palaces is magnificent and grand, with a very large interior space filled with lamps, jade vases, and exquisite pieces.

In the center of the ancient temple where Qi Zhe was located, there was a high platform with many statues of gods, most of whom were human-bodied and snake-tailed.

"Why does it look like this?" Qi Zhe approached the high platform, circling the statue with a strange look in his eyes.

He felt that this was a special race, with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a snake, and there must be a great mystery in it, just like the gods in mythology.

As Qi Zhe wandered around, he suddenly discovered a line of inscriptions behind the high platform, which read: "Master Zhang Lin borrowed this land to survive, and has offended you in many ways."

There are many inscriptions by Master Yuan, leaving many explanations behind this stone platform, stating that this place is extraordinary.

This place once gave birth to extraordinary holy spirits, which were reshaped after being shattered in ancient times. The remaining creations can recreate invincible beings.
