Li Bisheng knelt on the ground, screaming at the top of his lungs, his eyes filled with longing.
They yearned for the legendary Ancestor to appear and save their Great Qian Empire.
Thirteen years ago.
The Great Qian Empire announced the position of Crown Prince, namely Li Yangwang, who was by his side, but this sowed the seeds of future trouble.
Out of jealousy of Li Yangwang, and because he was indeed far inferior to Li Yangwang, the Third Prince sided with the Demonic cultivator and ultimately plotted to frame the Nascent Soul Cultivator, the Supreme Emperor, of the Great Qian Empire.
This led to the Supreme Emperor Life and Death in critical condition.
Without the retired Supreme Emperor, a Nascent Soul Realm expert, other forces naturally wanted to annex their Great Qian Empire.
Throughout the entire Xuanhuang Realm, the Great Qian Dynasty has an extremely long history, and the Scripture Repository within the Imperial Palace is a tremendous safeguard for many Outside World.
Previously, the retired Supreme Emperor, a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, was present, so it didn't have much of an impact.
But now he's in trouble. Although there are still quite a few Core Formation stage cultivators in the Imperial Family, the ones who have invaded their Great Qian Empire this time include Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.
How can Core Formation stage cultivator contend with the Nascent Soul Realm stage cultivator?
The battle raged for Three Days before the Imperial City, ending with the tragic deaths of seven Core Formation stage cultivators from the Great Qian Empire. If this continued, the Great Qian Empire would truly be destroyed.
Ultimately, the Imperial City was only able to hold out for a few more days thanks to the grand formation it had built many years ago.
He had no choice but to come deep into the Imperial Palace to seek an audience with the elusive and mysterious Ancestor.
This person appeared in the earliest records of the Great Qian Empire, and continued to appear in the records from time to time thereafter, each time helping the Great Qian Empire overcome crises.
He had no other choice but to come here.
Li Bisheng was also skeptical that there was truly a terrifyingly powerful Ancestor inside. If there really was a powerful cultivator within the Imperial Family, why had he never seen him in all these years?
But now he has no choice but to try anything, even if it seems hopeless.
The more Li Bisheng cried out, the more desperate he felt.
Although he knew perfectly well that there might not be any Ancestor among them, he was still in immense pain after learning the truth.
The Great Qian Empire... is truly doomed!
Li Bisheng was filled with regret. In fact, he had long seen that the Third Prince was mentally unstable. If he had known this, he would have deposed him directly, and so many things would not have happened later.
Beside him, Li Yangwang also gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot.
"Father, one day I will surely kill the Third Prince."
If that illusory Ancestor doesn't appear today, they will have to carry out their final plan.
That means secretly finding an opportunity to escort Crown Prince Li Yangwang out of the Imperial City. He is very talented and intelligent. As long as he is given the opportunity, he will still have a chance to take revenge in the Future.
Li Bisheng acted as if he hadn't heard, his eyes dimming as he knelt on the ground, still crying out incessantly.
Just then, the Palace gates ahead creaked open.
Immediately afterwards, the heavy sound of the door opening rang out.
Su Chen slowly emerged from among them. He looked at the three people kneeling in front of him, his brows furrowing slightly.
I don't know him...
To be honest, he hadn't been to the Xuanhuang Realm for a long time; at most, he would just keep an eye on things and see if anything had happened.
It has been at least six thousand years since he last came to the Xuanhuang Realm.
Six thousand years is an extremely long time in this world.
However, the moment Li Bisheng and Li Yangwang saw Su Chen, they were both stunned. They stared wide-eyed at Su Chen in disbelief.
Li Bisheng found it hard to believe; was there really an Ancestor in the Imperial Family?
How is that possible?
Although he came here to persuade the Ancestor to come out of seclusion, he didn't really believe that the Ancestor was real.
After all, the book records that this Palace's Ancestor has existed for at least 100,000 years. What kind of cultivator could survive for 100,000 years?
Even Nascent Soul Realm cultivator couldn't do that, right?
Therefore, he somewhat believed that this Ancestor was actually a fabrication created out of thin air.
However, now that he saw a person actually walk out of the Palace, he was immediately filled with confusion.
Is this person truly Ancestor, or did someone stumble upon this place by accident?
As Core Formation stage cultivator, he could sense that Su Chen's body contained absolutely no trace of Cultivation Level.
Li Bisheng asked suspiciously, "Who are you, and why are you in the Imperial Palace?"
This place is the deepest part of the Imperial Palace, and even members of the Imperial Family are not allowed to come here at will, not even the emperor himself.
"Presumptuous!"
Su Chen's voice was calm, yet it possessed immense authority, causing Li Bisheng to feel a chill run down his spine and his body to tremble uncontrollably.
What!
He's actually a cultivator!?
Li Bisheng's eyes were filled with horror. He was not the most shocked by the cultivators, but mainly because he felt a pressure from Su Chen that was no less than that of the Supreme Emperor.
These are all cultivators at least in the Late Nascent Soul Realm.
When did such a cultivator enter the Imperial Palace and even reach the most secret place in the Imperial Family?
For a moment, Li Bisheng felt a sense of despair.
Su Chen glanced at his expression, which was filled with despair yet also a hint of determination, and immediately understood.
He raised his hand and waved it, and a Jade Pendant appeared in his hand.
"Judging from your appearance, you must be the current ruler of the Great Qian Empire. Do you recognize this item?"
Upon hearing Su Chen's words, Li Bisheng's eyes quickly focused on his hands.
But the next moment, he was completely stunned.
The Jade Pendant looked exactly like the Jade Pendant he was wearing. The only difference was that his Jade Pendant only had three dragons, while Su Chen's Jade Pendant had five dragons.
Ancestor!
It really is our Ancestor!
Li Bisheng's face was filled with disbelief, and he said in a trembling voice, "Ancestor, does my Great Qian Empire really have an Ancestor?"
Su Chen was speechless. He hadn't been to the Xuanhuang Realm for so long that he didn't even recognize these people.
However, he could understand it; the Great Qian Empire was in grave danger, and being cautious was only natural.
"Nonsense!"
Su Chen was too lazy to say more. He walked up to Li Shanshan, raised his hand and pointed slightly. A verdant light flowed into the other's body.
The energy within Li Shanshan's body began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The faint heartbeat began to become more intense.
What?
Seeing this, Li Bisheng stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
The Supreme Emperor's illness was cured so easily?
You should know that he was poisoned by the Seven Poisons Sect, a poison known within the Seven Poisons Powder Sect that is said to have no antidote.
Could he really be the legendary Ancestor?
Soon.
Li Shanshan then woke up. He opened his eyes, feeling somewhat weak, but he still managed to kneel down in front of Su Chen.
"You unfilial descendant pays respects to your Ancestor!"
