The White Emperor!
Following the ancient and powerful aura, Lu Changsheng saw a middle-aged man sitting in the main seat, exuding an imposing presence without anger, bearing a striking resemblance to the chieftain of the Qi Clan Tribe.
His aura was like that of Primordial Era Behemoths, or like a solitary Eternal Ages reigned supreme for eternity. Just sitting there, he was like a world unto himself, a towering mountain to be revered.
Besides the Second Ancestor, the ancestors of the Taichu Sacred Land, such as Qi Pojun and Ao Jian True Person, were arranged on the left and right, each of them a great figure who once caused a sensation in the Three Realms.
This matter is of great importance, and even the patriarchs of the Taichu Sacred Land could not remain seated. They all emerged from seclusion, and even the Second Ancestor, who was guarding the Taichu Mountain, appeared.
"I was fortunate enough to receive the 'Nine Taichu Forms' from the patriarch of the Remote Antiquity Qi Clan Tribe in the Chaotic Realm."
Lu Changsheng answered one by one.
At the time, he didn't know that this Swordsmanship was the Supreme Lore among the Supreme Lore of the Taichu Sacred Land.
Wow.
The elders of the Taichu Sacred Land were in an uproar, disregarding their status and whispering amongst themselves.
Clearly, the chieftain of the Qi Clan Tribe held a position of extraordinary importance to them.
The middle-aged man in the main seat seemed to be recalling something, and after a long while, he slowly said, "Since Father's world projection chose to teach you this sword Swordsmanship, there must be a reason."
The patriarchs of the Taichu Sacred Land nodded in agreement. "Yes, yes."
Father Emperor?
A storm raged within Lu Changsheng's heart.
The Second Ancestor of the Taichu Sacred Land was actually the son of the patriarch of the Remote Antiquity Qi Clan Tribe!
Why was the chieftain of the Qi Clan Tribe referred to as "Father Emperor" by the Second Ancestor?
Perhaps sensing the doubt in Lu Changsheng's eyes, the Second Ancestor said, "Could it be that you don't know my father's identity? Indeed, matters of Remote Antiquity are rarely known to later generations."
"May I ask who your father is?"
Lu Changsheng indeed knew little about the Remote Antiquity times, having only seen some projections of Remote Antiquity powerful beings' worlds in the Chaotic Realm.
Since the Second Ancestor of the Taichu Sacred Land was the son of the chieftain of the Remote Antiquity Qi Clan Tribe, he must have experienced most of the events of Remote Antiquity times.
Ao Jian True Person, speaking with boundless reverence, said, " In Remote Antiquity times, five powerful Human Race possessed the bearing of Great Emperors, dominating the Eternal Ages and leading Human Race to prosperity. They were the Azure Emperor, the Red Emperor, the Yellow Emperor, the White Emperor, and the Black Emperor, later known as the Great Emperors of Human Race. The Heavenly Emperor and the Devil Master, two later-born Great Emperors of Human Race, are actually after them in terms of seniority."
"The five Human Race Great Emperors were originally leaders of five powerful Human Race Tribe, their cultivation levels roughly equal. For the future of Human Race, they led their respective Tribes to join other Human Race Tribe, large and small, in establishing the Heavenly Court. These Tribes evolved into Divine Palaces."
"Later, with the fall of five Human Race Great Emperors, the split between the Heavenly Emperor and the Devil Master, the High Antiquity Heavenly Court also disintegrated for various reasons. Some Divine Palaces chose to break away from the Heavenly Court, while others retained their original names, such as the Purple Void Palace and the Moon Palace. Some Divine Palaces were renamed Holy Lands, such as our Taichu Sacred Land."
As Ao Jian True Person explained, Lu Changsheng suddenly understood. "So that means..."
The Second Ancestor solemnly stated, "The Taichu Sacred Land originated from the Qi Clan Tribe. My father was none other than the White Emperor, one of the five Great Emperors of the Human Race."
Hiss...
Lu Changsheng had some guesses, but he was still extremely shocked to hear the Second Ancestor of the Taichu Sacred Land admit it himself.
He actually encountered the White Emperor's world projection in the Chaotic Realm and was even taught the White Emperor's self-created Swordsmanship!
No wonder the Green Lion King, who used his entire fortune to create the Heaven-Rank Heavy Treasure "Sun-Moon Five-Star Wheel" to seek revenge against the Qi Clan Tribe Chief, was still killed, and the Heaven-Rank Heavy Treasure "Sun-Moon Five-Star Wheel" became Qi Yuxia's Law Treasure.
The chieftain of the Qi Clan Tribe was later the Great Emperor of the Human Race!
Because the name of the White Emperor became more famous in later generations, fewer and fewer people know about White Emperor previous identity.
The Taichu Sacred Land was originally the Qi Clan Tribe.
No wonder Taichu Mountain looked familiar. This place was probably not the ancestral home of the Qi Clan Tribe. However, the world has changed so much that Lu Changsheng could not recognize it for the time being.
No wonder Qi Yuxia possessed extraordinary talent, becoming the Tai Chu Divine Maiden who defeated and banished the Eight Desolate Fire Dragons.
In a daze, Lu Changsheng suddenly saw a dark shadow flying towards Lu Changsheng.
Lu Changsheng reached out and caught it; it was a token.
The Second Ancestor slowly said, "If you have any questions about this Sword Art in the future, you can bring this token and come to me at any time."
Wow.
The patriarchs of the Taichu Sacred Land were once again in an uproar.
The Second Ancestor's status in the Taichu Sacred Land was second only to the missing Ancestor; even they rarely had the opportunity to receive personal guidance from the Second Ancestor.
Unexpectedly, an outsider could receive guidance on unparalleled Sword Art from the Second Ancestor at any time!
"If you had half of Young Friend Lu's talent and effort, our Taichu Sacred Land wouldn't be declining generation after generation."
The Second Ancestor instruction left all the elders speechless.
Lu Changsheng smiled bitterly, "The Demon Realm has emerged from the Nine Serenities, the Demon Race has breached the formidable pass, Immortal Realm is about to fall. I'm afraid this junior will have little chance to seek guidance from you, senior."
The elders nodded in agreement. "Yes, yes."
"You all underestimate the Heavenly Court's resources."
The Second Ancestor's words caused a huge uproar.
To everyone else, the situation in the Immortal Realm was precarious, but according to the Second Ancestor, it was not yet time to despair.
The Second Ancestor was Remote Antiquity great being, the son of the White Emperor. His physique was not necessarily inferior to that of the Heavenly Emperor's Son.
More importantly, the Second Ancestor has lived from Remote Antiquity to the present day, and his vision is extremely broad. Since he believes that the Heavenly Court will not be defeated easily, then the Heavenly Court should be able to hold out for a period of time.
This allowed everyone to breathe a sigh of relief and calm down a bit.
The Second Ancestor asked Lu Changsheng about his encounter with the Qi Clan Tribe Chief and Qi Yuxia in the Chaotic Realm, and appeared dazed and sighed deeply.
Afterwards, the elders of the Taichu Sacred Land continued their discussion.
Lu Changsheng was not from the Taichu Sacred Land, so he returned to the place where the group from the Taihua Sacred Ground and Guanghan Holy Land were resting.
"Lu Lang, did you see the Second Ancestor of the Taichu Sacred Land? I heard from my master that he was an extremely ancient and powerful figure, whom Heavenly Emperor dared not underestimate. Did he make things difficult for you?"
Xia Ningxue thought that Lu Changsheng had incurred the displeasure of the Second Ancestor of Taichu Mountain because he had unintentionally learned the mountain's secret Supreme Lore. When she saw Lu Changsheng return, she went up to ask him with concern.
Lu Changsheng gently tapped Xia Ningxue's forehead. "Silly girl, if the Second Ancestor had harmed me, how could I have returned unharmed?"
Xia Ningxue's pretty face flushed red.
Shi Niandao Zhu Xinguang from the Taihua Sacred Ground, as well as the powerful figures from the Moon Palace, all nodded in agreement.
The Second Ancestor of Taichu Mountain is an existence even more ancient than the Taihua Goddess who established the Taihua Sacred Ground. Even if the Taihua Goddess were to be resurrected, she might not be a match for the Second Ancestor.
Unless it was the being who originally built the Moon Palace...
Lu Changsheng then shared the Second Ancestor of Taichu Mountain's assessment of the situation with everyone, which reassured them somewhat.
During his brief rest at Taichu Mountain, Lu Changsheng continued to bestow various treasures upon his Disciples, hoping to acquire a few life-saving items during the Calamity. In particular, the special treasure from the Netherworld Realm, the "Substitute Death Doll," had been exhausted at the Demon-Suppressing Pass and urgently needed to be replenished.
