Chapter 400
Profound Gold True Immortal urged, eager to know which Great Dao Princess Xiao had mastered to be so powerful.
"As far as I know..."
The Ancestor Taiwei spoke evasively and vaguely, managing to utter only a few words over a long period of time.
It's not that he didn't want to tell me, it's that he didn't actually know.
In fact, only a few days had passed since he first met Princess Xiao.
Just as they were talking.
A stunningly beautiful figure gracefully descended and landed in front of the two.
"Princess Xiao..."
"Princess..."
Profound Gold True Immortal and Ancestor Taiwei bowed in unison.
The newcomer was none other than Xiao Minghuang.
"Um."
Xiao Minghuang nodded and said, "The matter is settled, we should leave now."
"Yes!"
The two responded in hushed tones.
Immediately, Xiao Minghuang took a step, stepping into the void, and led the two of them to fly away into the distance.
She could certainly tell that the attitudes of Profound Gold True Immortal and Ancestor Taiwei were even more respectful than before, naturally because they had witnessed her displaying great supernatural powers in the Yuming World.
This was a deterrent, not only intimidating all living beings in the Yuming World, but also intimidating the Profound Gold True Immortal and the Ancestor Taiwei.
On the road.
Ancestor Taiwei increased his speed and caught up with Xiao Minghuang, while Profound Gold True Immortal wisely slowed down and kept his distance from the two.
As he flew away, Ancestor Taiwei pondered and spoke, "Princess..."
Seeing his hesitant expression, Xiao Minghuang naturally understood what he wanted to say.
From the moment the Ancestor Taiwei appeared, Xiao Minghuang was very curious about his background.
However, the information he revealed contradicted his actions.
Judging from his words, he must be a traitor who betrayed the Ziwei Divine Dynasty back then, but now he keeps trying to curry favor with him.
If he were to remain defiant and challenge her to a duel, she could easily kill him with a single sword strike.
But as the saying goes, you can't hit a smiling face...
This conflicting situation made it difficult for her to decide how to treat Ancestor Taiwei.
"Just say what you have to say."
Xiao Minghuang stopped in her tracks, seemingly pondering for a long time before speaking.
This statement can be considered the greatest expression of sincerity towards the Ancestor Taiwei.
"Thank you, Princess!"
The Ancestor Taiwei showed gratitude. He could probably sense that Princess Xiao was aware of the difficulties that led to the destruction of Ziwei and thought that he was the culprit who had let the wolf into the house.
At this moment, Princess Xiao did not immediately turn against him and kill him, which can be considered as doing more than enough.
He took a deep breath and slowly said, "In the past, Emperor Yuanji severed the source of his own realm..."
Turn out to be.
Back then, Emperor Yuanji severed the source of the realm, but the new Lord of Ziwei was nowhere to be found, leaving the vast imperial court in a predicament of being leaderless.
Just then, the Eastern Great World drifted over and merged with the Central Great World.
At that time, the Divine Dynasty recognized the potential of the young Eastern Pole Emperor and placed high hopes on him, expecting him to become the guardian of the Ziwei Imperial Court until a new ruler of the Purple Star was born.
However, in less than a hundred years, the young Eastern Pole Emperor rose to power and grew to a point where the Imperial Court could no longer control him.
And even!
It turns on its master!
At the most critical moment, the Eastern Pole Emperor even stormed into the Ziwei Imperial Palace, almost seizing the Heavenly Dao Source the Central Heaven Great World.
At the critical moment, the Ancestor Taiwei intervened, uniting with the ancient earth immortals of various sacred lands and aristocratic families, and finally forced the Eastern Pole Emperor to retreat.
But the crisis was far from over. In order to ensure the continuation of the Ziwei bloodline, he secretly made a deal with the Eastern Pole Emperor, sacrificing the name of Ziwei, the lineage and inheritance, all past glory, and even the reputation of a traitor...
Finally, the Eastern Pole Emperor agreed to his conditions and stopped pressuring the Central Heaven World.
Of course, this also inevitably led to a great battle to prove their strength. As a result, the Emperor was injured, and all the ancient earth immortals went into seclusion.
The subsequent infiltration, as well as the continuous battles between other holy lands below the level of the Emperor, was a consensus he reached with the Emperor and the oldest earth immortals of the holy lands.
These top-level powerhouses cannot intervene; whether the Ziwei bloodline can continue depends on themselves.
It was this chaotic battle that strengthened the power of the various holy lands in the Central Heaven World, keeping the forces of the Eastern Pole Emperor and the Holy Academy outside the Central Heaven.
This is also why the Holy Academy was established in the Eastern Pole, rather than in the former site of the Imperial Court, the Central Heaven World.
To this day, the Holy Academy's power can only command the various holy lands, and it has not been able to fully bring them under its control.
Even the descendants of the former Ziwei clan, now the Great Xia Dynasty, migrated into the Eastern Pole territory, yet the Eastern Pole Emperor did not harm them.
Besides the fact that the Ziwei clan no longer poses a threat, it is also possible that the Ancestor Taiwei has already become an immortal and is able to intimidate the Emperor.
"This..."
After hearing these words, Xiao Minghuang was skeptical.
If what the Ancestor Taiwei said is true, then he is not the eternal sinner who destroyed the Ziwei Imperial Court, but rather the eternal hero who preserved the Ziwei bloodline and ensured its continuation!
Of course, she would have a guess.
If these words were all fabricated by the Ancestor Taiwei as an excuse to deceive her and prevent her from pursuing the matter, then his intentions were extremely malicious.
"Princess..."
Seeing that Xiao Minghuang remained silent for a long time, the Ancestor Taiwei couldn't help but tentatively ask, "Do you think I need to fabricate such a lie?"
The Ancestor Taiwei had a very open and honest demeanor.
He did not do that.
Everything he did came from the heart.
He also believed that Xiao Minghuang would understand his predicament and choice.
After all, he didn't want to watch his compatriots die tragically, which is why he chose to compromise.
"Hehe..."
Xiao Minghuang smiled noncommittally. Once she integrates the five realms and officially becomes the ruler of the Five Directions One Realm, she can naturally verify whether this matter is true from the Heavenly Dao Source.
Before that, she would guarantee that the Ancestor Taiwei would not leave the Five Directions One Realm; if he tried to leave, then he would undoubtedly be deceiving her.
The Ancestor Taiwei could naturally see that Xiao Minghuang did not believe his words, but he could not verify them for the time being, so he remained noncommittal.
"Princess, this contains all the past traditions and heritage of the Imperial Court, preserved here. Please take a look!"
As he spoke, the Ancestor Taiwei waved his hand, presenting Xiao Minghuang with a jade box the size of a face plate held in both hands.
Xiao Minghuang pondered for a moment, then took the jade box. After scanning it with his divine sense, his expression became solemn.
The Ancestor Taiwei was right. All the lineages and inheritances of the Imperial Court have been left here and are still sealed off, unable to be used by anyone.
Furthermore, it contains historical records of the Ziwei Imperial Court, accurate to every year, month, and day of every era!
These historical records end when Emperor Yuanji severed the source of the boundary.
Before this, all the past events were complete.
Such a massive amount of information is enough to make one's scalp tingle.
Xiao Minghuang remained silent for a long time, then suddenly chuckled and looked up at the Ancestor Taiwei: "If what you say is true, and Ziwei survives, you deserve the greatest credit. In the future, your name will be proven!"
"Thank you, Princess!"
The Ancestor Taiwei, showing humility and respect.
Seeing that he was indeed open and honest, Xiao Minghuang temporarily put aside her suspicions, but she would wait until she had mastered the Heavenly Dao Source to investigate and clarify the matter before taking any action.
After all, this involves the survival of the entire clan. Crimes and merits must be thoroughly investigated before a decision is made.
Afterwards, Xiao Minghuang led the Ancestor Taiwei and the Profound Gold True Immortal into the depths of the universe.
Mid-heaven, Easternmost Point.
Hundred Sacred States.
The once prosperous and thriving sacred place of cultivation has now fallen into the flames of war.
Everyone knows that the Eastern Pole Emperor is no longer the master of the Holy Academy; the Heavenly Dao Succession has changed hands, and this is a foregone conclusion.
The most likely successor to the next Lord of the Central and Eastern Poles will undoubtedly emerge from among Princess Xiao and the mysterious powerhouse of the Ziwei Sacred Land.
At this moment, the two forces gathered above the Holy Academy, their tensions palpable, the air thick with tension, as if an epic battle was about to erupt at any moment.
On one side, Xiao Minghuang's group consisted of people like Innate Osmanthus, Penglai Earth Immortal, Ye Ruoshui, Lin Wanqiu, and some holy families who stood on their side.
On one side are the Sacred Lands, Aristocratic Families, and Imperial Dynasties, with the Ziwei Sacred Land at the forefront.
Together, the two sides have more than one hundred Earth Immortals and a staggering number of Supreme Powerhouses!
Those ancient earth immortals who slumbered deep within the sacred land, ancient earth immortals who had lived for countless epochs, all emerged one after another, just to vie for the position of ruler of this last epoch!
Even the Earth Immortal Jingguang and the Earth Immortal Kujie from the Western Lands rushed over, ready to participate in the war at any moment.
Without a doubt, the top combat power of the entire Five Directions One Realm has gathered here. Such a terrifying lineup is probably unparalleled in the history of the Five Directions One Realm.
"The Epochal Annihilation is fast approaching. Are you trying to destroy the entire Five Directions One Realm with your aggressive tactics?"
"Innate Osmanthus said coldly."
"Fellow Daoist, you are mistaken. Is Princess Xiao the only one capable of undertaking this weighty task of unifying the Five Realms? Our Ancestor Taiwei of the Ziwei Sacred Land is also qualified to shoulder this great responsibility!"
"The ancient immortal of the Ziwei Sacred Land said calmly."
"Since you are so stubborn, then don't blame us for being impolite!"
Luo Qianhua said in a cold voice, her killing intent surging, clearly intending to directly suppress the other party.
As the only one among Xiao Minghuang's Dao Companion to have reached the Earth Immortal realm, and even more so, the Great Perfection of the Earth Immortal realm, she must make the decision on Xiao Minghuang's behalf and unite everyone at this crucial moment.
"You dare!"
The ancient immortals from the sacred lands and noble families roared angrily.
"Snort!"
Luo Qianhua sneered and, without uttering a single word, made her move.
With a flick of her finger, she ripped through the void, and instantly, the Great Dao Power burst forth, transforming into a beam of pure white light that swept towards the ancient earth immortals.
Sizzle!
In an instant, the void seemed to crumble and disintegrate like a mirage, and the pure white primordial power surged across the eight directions, dividing all things and causing fear and trembling.
"How dare you!"
"Luo Qianhua, a mere nobody, dares to provoke all of us?!"
Almost instantly, various indignant roars resounded through the void.
Boom!
Immediately afterwards, one dazzling ray of light after another burst forth, like the rising sun illuminating the heavens and the earth, its immense pressure spreading all around, shaking the very fabric of the universe.
Which of these ancient immortals from sacred families hasn't lived for dozens of eras?
In that instant, they all unleashed their peak cultivation and combat power, with all sorts of powerful and unparalleled divine abilities and spells emerging one after another, shattering the sky, annihilating the sea of clouds, and earth-shattering waves raging across the sky, piercing the firmament and cracking the earth.
