Chapter 1755 Five Sovereigns Three Emperors

chapter 1755 five sovereigns three emperors

translator: borntobe

li tianxuan pondered long chen’s question for a moment. in the end, he decided to tell long chen a secret relating to the spirit world and the martial heaven continent.

under the leadership of a mighty sovereign, the martial heaven continent had been very close allies with the spirit world. however, once the sovereign’s time passed and the next dark era descended, the relationship between the two was severed.

this fracture wasn’t just because the spirit world hadn’t supported the martial heaven continent, but because the martial heaven continent had entered a very chaotic state after the dark era.

the sovereign had disappeared, and various large powers had risen. without a sovereign to suppress things, the continent had entered a long and chaotic period.

it was at that time that the spirit world’s attempts at communication repeatedly failed and they were killed as traitors. the spirit world had no choice but to seal the channel connecting it to the continent, cutting off their ties to the human race.

however, there were still rumors that the spirit world and the martial heaven continent’s alliance had been started by sovereign yun shang.

furthermore, it was said that sovereign yun shang had had a close relationship with the ruler of the spirit world of that time.

when li tianxuan mentioned that, he smiled faintly. “rumor is that sovereign yun shang was exceptionally handsome, a dragon amongst men. as for the ruler of the spirit world back then, she was like a heavenly fairy whose beauty enraptured all living things. many people guessed that their relationship was not ordinary. however, no one knows the details. sovereign yun shang is gone, and there’s no news about that ruler.”

“xuan master, how could the sovereigns have vanished? did they all die?”

long chen had always been suspicious about this. he had already seen two sovereigns. one was sovereign yun shang, while the other was the sovereign that had created the sovereign blood seal on devil spirit mountain.

however, he had only gotten a quick look at that sovereign creating the sovereign blood seal on devil spirit mountain. he hadn’t actually gotten a chance to talk to him. however, he could still sense that will that superseded the heavens.

how could such a person just vanish? had they run out of longevity? if their longevity ran out, then why didn’t they have a tomb? they didn’t even have any memorials.

“this is a question that no one in the world can answer. it has always been a riddle of this world. some people say that the sovereigns have died, that they died against terrifying existences while defending the continent. some also say the sovereigns haven’t died, and they are in some place silently protecting this world. the others say that the sovereigns weren’t human, and that they were transcended gods. when the martial heaven continent is in danger of being destroyed, they will be reborn. when the world is too peaceful, they will enter a new cycle of reincarnation, waiting for their time to be reborn. to sum up, there are many theories, but there is only one thing that can be said for sure: sovereigns are the most supreme existence, existences more worthy of reverence than even gods. however, the world has become chaotic, and people’s eyes have gradually been clouded by the lure of power. people are growing more and more selfish, as well as darker. their intelligence has been buried. that’s why no matter where you go, you’ll always run into all kinds of fools,” said li tianxuan.

suddenly, li tianxuan asked, “do you know why is it that the corrupt path, the xuan beasts, the ancient races, and the others all bully the humans of the righteous path?”

“i don’t.” long chen shook his head.

li tianxuan nodded inside. heavenly fate island had perhaps played with fire this time. to have long chen set his gaze on them, they might be out of luck.

heavenly fate island’s experts weren’t very powerful. they relied on reading the lines of fate, making it so no one dared to provoke them. if any of their enemies were to target them, they would be able to find out immediately.

heavenly fate island had many allies, and telling them to target their enemy was easy, particularly since they could expose that enemy’s weaknesses.

however, long chen was different. long chen could not be read by heavenly fate island.

“i don’t think you should go into seclusion for the next few days. if my guess isn’t wrong, the alliance head will quickly come. she-”

“i’m already here.”

before li tianxuan could finish speaking, qu jianying’s voice rang out. she appeared within the xuantian tower.

li tianxuan and the patriarch hastily stood up to bow, but qu jianying waved her hand dismissively. “we’re already so familiar with each other, so there’s no need to waste the effort. long chen, you have some skill. you’ve won me some face.” qu jianying smiled brightly.

this time, not only had long chen and guo ran managed to keep their rankings, but the support of the spirit world had been a slap in their enemies’ faces.

during the past few days, qu jianying hadn’t come to see long chen because she hadn’t had the face to. in the face of pill valley, the ancient races, the xuan beasts, the corrupt path, the ancient family alliance, the bloodkill hall, and various other powers instigating trouble, as well as betrayers in her very own martial heaven alliance, she had lost hope when it came to the devil slaughter rankings.

however, unexpectedly, there had been a final reversal. that final ‘one hundred and ten percent’ had been recognized by a few members of the senior generation. only once they told others did they understand that the devil slaughter divine tablet actually included the spirit world in its calculations of a person’s support.

as a result, all those powers working against them had worked for nothing. this slap had been very resounding. qu jianying’s smile had threatened to split her face.

“it’s too bad that the old ghost hasn’t woken up, or he’d definitely be happy to see you do so well.” qu jianying smiled.

however, that smile also contained worry. the old man had been in seclusion for several months now. he should have woken up, but there was still no news from him.

“hmph, putting aside that old ghost, you should pack up. come with me to the central xuan region. i have an enormous benefit to give you.” qu jianying smiled mysteriously.

li tianxuan and the patriarch’s eyes brightened. while they didn’t say anything, they had smiles of anticipation.
