Chapter 479: Ancient Imperial Lord

He looked at the two people kneeling on one knee.

Jiang Lan was puzzled. Join the battle?

These two weren’t even Human Immortals, so how could they have the qualifications to participate in the Ancient Imperial Court’s war?

“Are the participants always from the younger generation?” Jiang Lan asked.

“Of course. Potential is the most important. The Imperial Lord personally said that and the village has recorded and always kept by this.” The elder replied.

They knew that the Exalted God would trigger changes in the village.

Hence, they wouldn’t mistake him for someone else.

Always? Jiang Lan was even more confused.

There was no need to doubt the Ancient Imperial Court’s power. It was impossible for them to need people below the immortal level.

Unless they had some special use.

After that, he recalled some of the ancient rumors.

It was rumored that there was a village where a portion of young men and women would be brought away after a period of time. Before they left, they would leave behind the symbols of the Ancient Imperial Palace.

So…

Was it this village?

Jiang Lan looked at this village. This place was extremely ordinary, but also not ordinary.

It was an ordinary village, but it was not located in an ordinary location.

Ordinary people would not be able to reach this place, nor would they be able to discover it.

It was not an exaggeration to say that they were protected.

Was it because of their bloodline or his talent?

But no matter what, they did not seem to have played a decisive role.

This was because the Ancient Imperial Court had still perished.

Then who was their enemy?

Jiang Lan didn’t know, but there might be some news here.

Of course, he had to guard against these people. No one knew if they were lying.

He would be cautious and not underestimate them.

“Get up.” Jiang Lan said softly to the two.

“The battle has temporarily come to an end. There is no need for you all to participate.”

The Ancient Emperor had long fallen silent. Those who obtained the Deity Positions were the inheritors of the Ancient Emperor’s inheritance.

Maybe in the future, he would have to take on the responsibility left behind by the Ancient Emperor.

To be able to destroy the Ancient Imperial Court, this was something that the entire Grand Desolate World could not escape from, right?

Jiang Lan’s words stunned everyone. Had they won?

They did not ask further, but at least it was good news.

“Exalted God, can you tell me about it in detail?” The elderly was rather hopeful.

Jiang Lan shook his head slightly.

“I haven’t inherited the Deity Position for long, so I can’t tell you the details. Even coming here is considered an accident.

I wonder if you can tell me the specific relationship between this place and the Ancient Imperial Palace?”

He was not worried about being questioned. If the other party could answer him, he would listen. If he refused, he could leave.

The Deity Position had responded to the call of this land and had already calmed down.

However, it was unknown if it was caused by a human’s call or something else.

Jiang Lan’s words made the old man a little helpless for a moment. Successor of the Deity Position? He had a bad premonition, but he still lowered his head and said respectfully.

“Exalted God, please follow me.”

At this moment, the others were summoned to other places to do their own things.

The man and woman looked relieved and regretful.

They did want to join the battle, but they were too young and afraid.

Jiang Lan followed the elder inside.

Soon, they arrived at a huge tree.

There were huge rocks under the tree.

There seemed to be many murals on it.

“Exalted God, you might not understand the history of our village.

But we have always remembered, for generations.

We have also always remembered our mission.

Nor do we dare forget the grace of the Ancient Imperial Court,” the elder said softly as he walked forward.

“How long have you all lived here?” Jiang Lan asked.

“I’m over nine hundred years old. I’m an elder of the village. Our lifespans are usually a thousand years.

We have been here for more than a thousand years.

It’s so long ago that I can’t even remember it.” The old man’s voice was deep and excited.

Jiang Lan lowered his eyebrows as if he was thinking about something.

At present, he did not feel any danger.

“You guys…” After a pause, he continued.

“About six hundred years ago, did you guys lose a baby?”

Upon hearing this, the old man suddenly stopped in his tracks. He looked at Jiang Lan with a guilty expression.

“Is she okay?”

“Still alive,” Jiang Lan answered.

Indeed, she was still alive. He needed to ask his Senior Sister for more details.

He did not know if it was good or bad.

The old man didn’t ask any more questions after receiving the answer, and Jiang Lan didn’t mention anything else.

It seemed that Junior Sister Han Qi was indeed from this village.

As for whether she was released or had been accidentally lost.

He had no intention of knowing.

It also had nothing to do with him.

The other party didn’t wish to say too much, and he didn’t wish to know too much either.

After a while.

They arrived before a giant tree root. There were many stone tablets here, which had the height of three people.

“The relationship between the village and the Ancient Imperial Court has to be traced back to many, many years ago. At that time, there was no Ancient Imperial Court.” The elder looked at the original stone tablet and said.

“By then, our village should be very strong.

We were born with a natural affinity with heaven and earth and we could could calm all violent affairs.

Violent winds, huge waves, devastating lightning, violent power, and raging heart demons.

Wherever we are stationed, it is usually the best place for cultivation. We also resist the influence of evil spirits.”

Jiang Lan was rather surprised. With such abilities, it was very suitable for them to stay on the Ninth Summit.

However, Junior Sister Han Qi did not appear special.

Was she not talented enough?

Maybe.

“Back then, we had a rather resounding race name, the Heavenly Spirit Race.

When we were at the peak of our power, the Imperial Lord found our ancestor.

He gave my ancestors something and told him that the great calamity of the Heavenly Spirit Race was about to arrive. He said that my ancestors could use his Dharma treasure to avoid this calamity. However, if he were to summon them, they must respond.

Back then, my ancestor did not take these words to heart.” The elder sighed.

He looked at the stone tablet.

Jiang Lan was also watching. A middle-aged man was handing things over to a village.

The mountains surrounded the village. The sky was clear and the land was peaceful.

“The great calamity arrived as scheduled?” Jiang Lan asked.

He didn’t have a good impression of the Heavenly Spirit Race, but he still had to understand a thing or two about the Ancient Emperor.

This was the beginning of the story, so he naturally had to listen in peace.

“A few years after the Imperial Lord left, my ancestors felt something amiss. It was as though something had happened to their talent.

Their body were even burned by their innate talent.

It was as if the world itself was in a state of violent rage.

Until one day, the pain reached its peak.

At that time, the sky rumbled, resounding through the entire great wasteland.

It was also on that day that my ancestors felt death and fear.

They looked up and saw the sky…” The elder was shocked.

“There were countless cracks in the sky…

The sky was collapsing. ”

Jiang Lan arrived before the second stone tablet.

At that moment, countless cracks had appeared in the sky. The red color filled the surroundings, and it was an endless inferno.

The sky seemed to be pressing down.

The ground also began to collapse. Floods surged and covered the land.

A towering tree was also engulfed in flames.

“This tree is?” Jiang Lan pointed at the giant tree on the stone tablet.

“The Tree of Creation.” The elder opened his mouth and said.

“It connects to the Heaven Realm and the Netherworld Realm.

That day, a huge hole appeared in the sky, and cracks appeared in the ground.

Heavenly fire descended and floods destroyed the world.

It was as if the great wilderness was being destroyed.

“My ancestors activated the Dharma treasure left behind by the Imperial Lord and received protection. Their body began to recover and their talent no longer burned their body.

But the sky was still collapsing.

Many people were protecting themselves and had no time to save others, let alone turn the situation around.

And just as the entire Grand Desolate World fell into despair, a man brought a group of people and stood out..”
