Four Masters and Disciples! The Seven Branches of the Sacred Altars!
The pilgrims from the Eastern Tang?
Lin Chen's eyes were filled with disbelief upon hearing this!
The image of the four travelers involuntarily surfaced in his mind.
The old Daoist priest standing nearby frowned, then relaxed his gaze.
Hearing about the deeds of his deceased friend filled him with emotion!
I wonder if, if time could turn back, my junior brother would still have gone down that path!
"I see," Lin Chen said after a moment's thought.
"The Seven-Colored Altar is indeed very important to me; I need to study it..."
The lord of the manor did not speak, but silently stepped aside, clearly giving his permission!
Seeing this, Lin Chen didn't stand on ceremony and began to study it carefully as well.
Sheng Hui and Upal were among those who joined.
They studied everything from the patterns on the cauldron to its structure, and even the red clay inside.
But it turned out that this so-called Seven-Colored Altar was actually completely different from the previous Seven-Colored Altar!
For example, apart from the fact that the red clay of this cauldron is the same as that of the Seven-Colored Altar, everything else about it has nothing to do with the Seven-Colored Altar!
"Lin Chen, will this thing not malfunction?"
Upal grabbed a handful of dirt:
"The soil is the same, but everything else is different!"
Lin Chen remained silent after listening.
Looking at the Seven-Colored Altar before him, he didn't know what to do.
They had thought that finding the seventh altar would allow them to uncover the secret of the Seven-Colored Altar.
But in the end, things only became more shrouded in mystery!
Just as the group was feeling dejected, the manor lord suddenly spoke:
"You mean the soil in this jar should be seven colors, right?"
"Yes! What else could it be!" Upal sighed.
"If you had shown it to us earlier, we would have left long ago. Why waste our time here!"
The prefect, unconvinced, shook his head slightly, then pointed to the altar and said:
"I remember now. According to the records, there isn't just one altar; there seem to be seven. The one that my Mausoleum Guard Army protects is the Red Altar!"
Red Altar?
Hearing what the manor lord said, Lin Chen's heart was rekindled with hope!
Feeling incredulous, he exclaimed excitedly:
"Where are the other six, Lord?"
"I don't know about that, because each lineage has different guardians and goes to different places! Back then, our ancestors only knew about the existence of seven sacred altars, and nothing else!"
However, it is true that the seven altars have seven different inheritances. Perhaps only when you find them can you resolve your doubts!
"What are the other six groups?" Sheng Hui asked.
"Please inform us, Lord, so that we may search for it!"
"The Lin Branch, Bing Branch, Dou Branch, Zhe Branch, Xing Branch, Formation Branch, and our Guardian Branch!" the lord said bluntly.
"Back then, the Seven Branches protected each other together, as close as brothers. But after being separated for so many years, the descendants of the clan have long since disappeared!"
Seven Branches?
Upon hearing this, a glint of shrewdness appeared in the old Daoist priest's eyes.
Having never heard of this force before, he was somewhat puzzled.
After all, looking at the entire Three Realms, he was at least a powerful figure.
Although it can't compare to those things that are known only to heaven and earth, it still knows a little.
But the old Daoist priest had never heard of the Seven Branches.
"May I ask what exactly your Seven Branches are protecting?"
Upon hearing the old Daoist priest's question, the manor lord nodded slightly.
With a solemn expression, he then approached the altar and said:
"We are protecting the Human Emperor Spirits..."
The Human Emperor Spirits!
Lin Chen's pupils contracted slightly; hearing this title for the first time, his eyes were filled with disbelief!
Even the old Daoist priest was taken aback, then exclaimed in shock:
"The Human Emperor Spirits... the Human Emperors of the primordial era... are their heroic spirits still undying?"
"Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed!" the Lord of the Manor said.
"You've seen the altar; it's time to leave, you too, Chosen One!"
Lin Chen nodded.
Somewhat shocked, he glanced at the altar, his heart filled with disbelief!
For the Human Race, pondering the meaning of the title "Human Emperor" is of utmost importance!
If we trace it back, we can go back to the very beginning of Human Race.
The emperors of that time were all unparalleled Saint and virtuous men.
It is because of them that the Human Race has prospered and flourished!
Of course, this is just a record from mythology.
But Lin Chen never expected that a Human Emperor truly existed, and that his heroic spirit was immortal!
If we understand the premise of heroic spirits' immortality, wouldn't they be able to be resurrected?
Upon closer examination, Lin Chen felt a chill run down his spine, realizing that the Apocalypse Universe was far too complex to be true!
Even the old Daoist priest looked on incredulously upon hearing this!
It goes without saying how high the Emperor's status was.
Not to mention that these human emperors were terrifying beings from before the Three Realms were established, making them virtually invincible!
The old Daoist priest still remembered that in order to deal with the Human Race, the Three Teachings did not hesitate to deceive the heavens and the sea, and launched the Investiture Catastrophe!
This led to the end of the Human Emperor era, and the subsequent Son of Heaven, who regarded Heaven as his father, succeeded the Human Race!
This caused the Human Race's fortunes to plummet, and they no longer had the means to stand on equal footing with heaven and earth as they once did!
Recalling these events, the old Daoist priest felt a chill run down his spine!
His intuition told him!
This universe is far from simple; there are countless terrifying secrets buried within!
The group then left with Wu An.
After leaving the city, they flew away!
Watching that departing figure, Wu An felt a pang of longing.
After hearing Sheng Hui describe the wonderful world outside, his faith began to waver.
With a sigh, he waved and prepared to go back.
But as soon as he turned around, he saw the manor lord appear behind him.
"Greetings, Lord of the Manor..."
The manor lord, standing with his hands behind his back, nodded.
He glanced in the direction the people had gone and said:
"You want to go to the outside world?"
What?
Wu An was stunned, his face full of disbelief as he said:
"Lord of the Manor, you... know that the outside world is different?"
The lord gave a bitter smile.
He realized that this wasn't something he alone knew, but something that all the previous lords of the manor had known.
Moreover, he dared not spread this matter, fearing that it would cause panic among everyone, and even the Mausoleum Guard Army would be unable to control them!
The manor lord, lost in thought, smiled and said:
"Come with me to receive the inheritance of the Palace Master..."
After leaving the eerie Blue Star.
Lin Chen and the others were stunned by what they saw as soon as they stepped out of the Xingkong!
Looking around, the entire star field was riddled with cracks, and inside them grew all sorts of eyes!
Such a terrifying scene made Upal's pupils shrink slightly as he exclaimed:
"This... this is the Great Annihilation?"
Sheng Hui swallowed hard.
Having witnessed the Great Annihilation of the future, he looked on in disbelief and said:
"Will Blue Star be alright?"
Lin Chen's expression was indifferent!
Seeing the apocalyptic scene before him, information about the First Clone instantly flashed through his mind!
Upon learning of the current situation on Blue Star, a hint of anger flashed in his eyes!
"The Asura Overlord is here again. Let's go back first, or Blue Star will be doomed!"
What?
The Asura Overlord is back!
Upon hearing this, Upal's expression changed drastically.
"This guy's still alive? My God! Who can hold his own against him?!"
