Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

Chapter 657 - 683 Ancient Past

Chapter 657: Chapter 683: Ancient Past Chapter 657: Chapter 683: Ancient Past In ancient times, before a colossal mountain.

At the very summit of the mountain, there stood an ingeniously constructed pavilion.

At this moment, faint glimmers of light flashed around the pavilion, clearly guarded by a formation.

Moreover, the might of this formation was not insignificant; its aura, somewhat comparable to that of the Loose Immortal Realm, was sufficient to reveal the formation’s terrifying nature.

Within the pavilion.

Several figures were gathered together.

On the left side was the emperor of the Human Race of that era, Zhuan Xu, with his subordinates behind him.

...

On the right side were Ye Luo, Baize, Si Yue, and others.

As these individuals came together, no one spoke first; they looked at each other, and the air was exceptionally tense.

An eerie atmosphere enveloped them.

The meeting between an emperor from ancient times and the prodigies of later generations was not so simple.

Neither side spoke, but their auras subtly clashed against each other.

Surprisingly, Zhuan Xu’s imperial aura was not the least bit weaker than that of the later geniuses.

On the contrary, to a certain extent, Zhuan Xu’s imperial aura could even overshadow the latter.

But that was the case only if Ye Luo was not taken into account.

Ye Luo’s existence was too extraordinary with the Earth Immortal Realm, the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit, the Physique Close to the Path, and as an unparalleled Sword Immortal.

Even so, excluding Ye Luo, the fact that Zhuan Xu could exert pressure on individuals like Si Yue was enough to illustrate the extraordinariness of this ancient emperor.

“May I ask who you all might be?”

Zhuan Xu did not immediately bring up the matter of the Ascension Passage but instead greeted them very politely.

With these words.

The silence that pervaded the area was instantly broken.

The eerie atmosphere was swept away in its entirety.

Si Yue, Ai Qing, Chi Jia, Li Cheng, Lin Mo, and Baize all looked towards Ye Luo, showing no intention of speaking first.

Instead, they planned to let Ye Luo speak.

“Loose cultivators.”

Ye Luo’s expression did not change, and he casually said just that.

Upon hearing this, Zhuan Xu’s mouth twitched slightly. He was no fool; he could clearly tell that Ye Luo did not wish to reveal the truth, hence the statement “loose cultivators.”

But wasn’t this excuse a bit too devoid of subtlety?

Come up with a better reason when lying.

A group of supremely powerful beings claiming to be loose cultivators; was this an insult to his intelligence?

Let it be.

These people were of extraordinary strength; it was better not to offend them if possible.

“Since the fellow daoist considers himself a loose cultivator, then I shall take you for a loose cultivator. Do you know of the feud between this realm and the Upper Realm Jade Void Palace?”

Zhuan Xu sighed softly before speaking.

“This realm has an existing feud with that Jade Void Palace? Why is that so?”

Ye Luo raised his eyebrows slightly and asked.

Though he said this, he was inwardly relieved.

As long as it wasn’t his doing, it was all right.

To tell the truth, he was a bit afraid that he had altered the timeline, resulting in the sealing of the future Ascension Passage and countless beings struggling because they could not ascend, with the Immortal Path cut off.

If that were the case, the karma on his hands would have been enormous.

“Indeed, the enmity between this realm and the Upper Realm Jade Void Palace is not from a single generation. It is a long tale, and this matter can be traced back to the affairs of the first emperor of the Human Race…”

Zhuan Xu did not intend to conceal anything and shared all the details, big and small, with Ye Luo and the others.

According to Zhuan Xu’s account.

In ancient times, the Human Race had no concept of unity; it was not until the appearance of the first Emperor of the Human Race that the entire race was unified.

However, the first Emperor’s path to unification was extremely arduous, and he only succeeded after enduring countless hardships.

In the final battle that led to his success, the first Emperor faced off against an exceptionally brilliant general of the Human Race, who also sought to unify the race and become Emperor.

In that battle, the Emperor was no match for the general and, having no other choice, he sought help from the Upper Realm, hoping that powerful cultivators from above would aid him.

The mighty cultivators of the Upper Realm did indeed offer their help but at the cost of many demands.

The Emperor considered these demands reasonable and agreed to them.

With the aid of the Upper Realm cultivators, the Emperor easily defeated the general and became the first Emperor of the Human Race.

The Emperor was naturally grateful to these cultivators, and after fulfilling all the promises, he planned to send these Upper Realm cultivators away.

However, these cultivators reneged on their agreement and plotted to take control of the entire Mundane World.

The Emperor naturally would not permit this, and he led the entire Human Race to force the Upper Realm cultivators to leave.

Fearing the repercussions of their karma, these cultivators dared not massacre the entire Human Race, and, having no choice, they left.

Thus, our realm became enemies with the Upper Realm.

The origin of those Upper Realm cultivators was the Upper Realm Jade Void Palace.

Hence, our realm became enemies with the Jade Void Palace.

But this was just the beginning.

After several generations, the feud between our realm and the Jade Void Palace grew, escalating to the point where the Jade Void Palace openly targeted the ascendants from our realm, and the conflict between them became intense.

After hearing the entire story,

Baize, who had seen much and knew much, was okay.

Ye Luo and the others were somewhat emotional.

They had not expected that the tales of enemies beyond the Ascension Passage in later generations originated from this cause.

After listening to the story, Ye Luo and the others began to inquire about some details, unreservedly, wanting to know more about the Ancient Times.

However, Li Cheng, standing in the corner of the pavilion, was lost in a daze, not paying attention to the conversation at hand.

His mind was completely captivated by The Great Tang Flag in his thoughts.

That flag was communicating with him in his mind.

“So, you understand now, I didn’t lie to you at that time?”

A voice emanated from within the flag.

“Is the Jade Void Palace very strong?”

Li Cheng asked internally, not intending to argue with the flag.

He simply wanted to know just how strong this Jade Void Palace really was.

“Of course, the Jade Void Palace is strong. Your Respected Senior Brother is exceptional, but in the Jade Void Palace, he would only be considered second-rate.”

The flag answered Li Cheng calmly.

“That strong?”

Li Cheng’s pupils sharply contracted.

He knew the strength of his Respected Senior Brother, which seemed to him an insurmountable peak, but such an existence was only second-rate in the Jade Void Palace?

“What else did you think? But you need not worry; the Celestial Tang Dynasty stands behind you. When the Great Tang first ascended, the Jade Void Palace wanted to suppress it as well, but His Majesty, in a burst of anger, dispatched a million troops and beat the Jade Void Palace to the point where they could not raise their heads. That battle established the foundation of the Great Tang, and there’s a saying in the Upper Realm to this day: to defeat the Great Tang’s military, you would need the Immortal Emperor himself to don armor and join the battle!”

Another sentence came from within the flag.

This time it was spoken with full pride.

It seemed very proud.

Li Cheng did not focus on what the flag was saying, but instead, he was contemplating silently.

If the Respected Senior Brother couldn’t be compared to this Jade Void Palace,

then…

What about their Respected Master?
