Free Web NovelChapter 1627: Chapter 1610: The Bloodstained Emperor Token
The Five Sealed Emperor Divine Dynasties established by the Five Sealed Emperor Strong People shattered, the Dark Turmoil ended, and the wheels of history rolled forward continuously, with everything in the past becoming buried in the dust of history.
The martial artists who survived the Dark Turmoil returned one after another to the Central Province Eighteen Domains, mourning the deceased amidst ruins, and rebuilding their respective sects.
Recorded in the True Spirit History Book written by the martial artists of the True Spirit Continent, a new era dawned upon the True Spirit Continent, with the Wuji Sect commanding the world, calling it the first year of Wuji.
The Wuji Sect truly stood above all, suppressing all directions, invincible in the universe, with no sect able to match them.
Regardless of who the martial artist was, there was a heartfelt respect for the Wuji Sect, completely convinced by them, more so than the Four Great Emperor Domains before the Dark Turmoil.
In the True Spirit History Book, although the Sect Leader of the Wuji Sect, Xiao Ye, had not truly ascended to emperor status, he was regarded on par with the Human Race Four Emperors, a feat that astonished the ages, with his illustrious accomplishments enough to make his name renowned through the river of time.
At the same time, the most formidable geniuses of this era, such as Nangong Xingyu, Huang Taiji, Dongfang Huoqing, Tang Yi, and the Emperor’s son Wudi, all submitted to Emperor Xiao.
Of course, though the True Spirit Continent welcomed a new era, it was severely damaged, with even Titled Emperor Martial artists becoming rare, the older generation of strong individuals almost entirely perished, and many Martial Arts Secret Manuals buried by the Dark Turmoil.
The True Spirit History Book records that in February of the first year of True Spirit, Emperor Xiao opened the Wuji Sect’s ’Martial Arts Palace,’ which was filled with countless Tao and Law, numerous Martial Arts Secret Manuals, accessible to any martial artist of the True Spirit Continent, without needing to pay any price, even those without a sect or of humble origin were entitled to choose Martial Arts Secret Manuals.
Moreover, those geniuses with outstanding martial arts talent could even receive Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures personally bestowed by Emperor Xiao.
This deed of Emperor Xiao stirred the world, with everyone cheering and greatly enthused.
Later, the True Spirit History Book again records that in March of the first year of Wuji, Emperor Xiao appeared in the Three Alliances Domain, set up a platform to preach the Tao, attracting boundless anomalies to descend, astonishing the world.
With heaven-defying means, Emperor Xiao transformed the mountains and rivers within a hundred miles radius, creating a treasure land with the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi reaching its zenith in the flip of a hand.
This time, the number of Central State martial artists who heard Emperor Xiao preaching the Tao was over ten thousand, with more than twenty martial artists breaking through to the Titled Emperor Martial level on the spot, and three others inspired, who retreated for years and finally broke through the Boundary Barrier to become Half Emperor strong people.
Emperor Xiao intends to restore the True Spirit Continent’s martial arts Primordial Energy to its former glory and vitality with his own strength.
The True Spirit History Book again records that throughout the Wuji Year, Emperor Xiao traveled throughout Central State, venturing into its many perilous lands, thoroughly pacifying dangers, even killing several Ferocious Beasts comparable to Half Emperors; thereafter he appeared in the Four Great States of the southeast, southwest, northwest, and northeast, equally eliminating dangers in these states, returning peace to the True Spirit Continent, making it suitable for the proliferation and thriving of martial artists.
...
All these earth-shattering grand events occurred in the Wuji Year.
While Central State was in an uproar, quite a few martial artists, after calming down, felt some tension.
Because indeed, Emperor Xiao’s series of actions were very inspiring, but upon careful consideration, it felt as though he was leaving instructions for after his departure, making people uneasy.
Time flies, and before you know it, half a year had passed since the start of the Wuji Year.
On this day, all of Central State was excited, with envious eyes directed towards Wuji City.
Because Lord Xiao was taking a disciple!
With Xiao Ye’s current strength and cultivation, imparting martial arts was more than sufficient, yet this was the first disciple Xiao Ye had accepted.
Almost all martial artists in Central State eagerly wanted to see what kind of genius could gain the favor of Lord Xiao?
On this day, all sects in Central State sent people to Wuji City, delivering congratulatory gifts, coming to offer their congratulations.
"The Four Sealed Emperor Strong People jointly descended upon Wuji City, causing immense destruction to the city, killing many Titled Emperor Martial artists."
"Lin Wen actually managed to survive, perhaps this is the will of heaven."
"Moreover, this little one diligently practiced the ordinary Combat Techniques I taught, without the slightest negligence, cultivating them to the Perfect Realm, proving his commendable spirit; accepting him as a disciple, is not an embarrassment at all."
While all major forces in Central State sent representatives to congratulate, the scene was incomparably grand, yet in a palace of Wuji Mansion, a simple apprenticeship ceremony was taking place.
Xiao Ye sat on his seat, a slight smile appearing on his face, looking at the respectful young Lin Wen bowing in salute before him.
This young man was the Xuanming Sect genius who single-handedly crossed one domain to reach Wuji City amid the Dark Turmoil.
In accepting disciples, Xiao Ye valued martial arts talent secondarily, placing the main importance on the candidate’s spirit, and the steadfastness in Lin Wen made him see a hint of his former self.
"Ye Zi, so the reason you taught Lin Wen that set of ordinary Combat Techniques back then was to test his spirit?"
"If he looked down on that set of ordinary Combat Techniques, would you have been unwilling to take him as a disciple?" In the palace, Bing Ya, Wu Ming, the Sword Emperor, and others were all present, with Prince Donghuang suddenly realizing, making everyone burst into laughter.
"Master!"
The young Lin Wen, with a flushed face, looked at Xiao Ye sitting on the seat.
Even now, he could not believe he had actually become Xiao Ye’s disciple, it felt like he was dreaming.
"Sect Leader!"
"The Heavenly Mechanism Sect sent a congratulatory gift, insisting that it is personally handed to you." At this moment, a respectful voice suddenly came from outside the palace.
"The Heavenly Mechanism Sect?" Upon hearing this familiar name, Xiao Ye was slightly taken aback, and the palace fell silent.
The Heavenly Mechanism Sect is a very special sect in Central State, elusive and transient, never participating in the Central State’s struggles, with its disciples having extraordinary research into the arts of divination and foresight.
A member of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect once helped him find the exact location of the Sealing Emperor City.
But since the descent of the Dark Turmoil, he hadn’t heard any news about the Heavenly Mechanism Sect.
"Could it be that the Heavenly Mechanism Sect wasn’t destroyed by the Dark Turmoil, and that its members knew I was seeking the whereabouts of the Ultimate Palace Main Palace Master and the Cang Clan Patriarch, thereby sending the information?"
Xiao Ye’s gaze flickered, signaling the martial artist outside the door to enter.
The congratulatory gift from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect was a quaint box, appearing quite ordinary outside, arousing the curiosity of those present.
With a wave of his hand, Xiao Ye opened the box, and immediately a faint Emperor’s Power emanated, causing his Four Emperor Skills to react; inside the box lay quietly three golden pages stained with purple blood.
"Are these... Emperor Tokens?"
Looking at the familiar golden pages, Xiao Ye’s pupils suddenly contracted, unable to suppress his shock.
