Chapter 489: Chapter 330: Lord of Jiuzhou, Xuanyuan Sword, Five Thousand Years After Zhuxia_2

[The Raising Troops Realm Martial Artist of the Second Heaven who ignites the Heart Fire is a top-level combat power among ordinary Alien Races. The Qing Country suppresses the Ten Thousand Races with one race, so they naturally wouldn’t mind having more of such crucial forces.]

[“First Emperor…”]

[Princess Taiping was among the crowd, listening to Jiang Yuan recount the deeds of the First Emperor.]

[Princess Taiping suddenly raised her hand to press her heart, from where a strange throbbing emerged. She looked towards the distant, hazy outline of Changle Palace and suddenly wanted to know—what was that man thinking when he shouldered the celestial vault?]

[She wanted to follow the First Emperor!]

[Princess Taiping resolutely joined the Qing Country to become a general expanding territories. Because of her merits in defending Yunzhou Heaven, she was granted the name “Princess Taiping” by the Saint from the Martial Arts Hall of Qing Country.]

[With the help of the Martial Arts Hall, Princess Taiping reorganized the Yunzhou Army and led them to battle the Alien Races for ten years. Her military achievements were glorious, and in a great battle, she became one with the Ninefold Imperial Pass and ascended to become the first True Martial Lord of the century, gaining the qualification for an audience.]

[She finally had the chance to see the First Emperor, Xiang Ji, again. When Princess Taiping saw the gaze that figure cast on her, even her breathing stopped for a moment.]

[“I remember you, you did very well.” The First Emperor, Xiang Ji, only said one sentence to this victorious Princess Taiping, granting her the protection of the Mountain and River Seal to prevent this Celestial Pride of the Human Race from perishing amidst conspiracies.]

[Princess Taiping was overjoyed, believing that this was the most memorable moment of her life.]

[A hundred years later, Princess Taiping broke through in battle, ascended to the Third Heaven, and beheaded an Alien Race “Demon God”—successfully establishing Yingzhou Heaven!]

[Jiang Yuan of the Qing Country teamed up with Wei Tu to establish—Shangzhou Heaven.]

[Thus, the Human Race’s Jiuzhou was formed!]

[The First Emperor, Xiang Ji, exited the pass, shocking the Mythical Saint Emperor, and transformed into an Ancient Bronze Sword upon which the deeds of Xiazhou Heaven, Yunzhou Heaven, Yingzhou Heaven, and Shangzhou Heaven began to appear.]

[“——Xuanyuan Sword!”]

[The First Emperor, Xiang Ji, had long known that his crossing had a purpose. Upon seeing the true name of the “Xuanyuan Sword,” he understood his duty; only with the reunification of Jiuzhou could the Xuanyuan Sword achieve Perfection.]

[He had a thought.]

[Saints from the Martial Arts Hall personally searched for news about other states of the Human Race. In a hundred years, only three states have yet to come back: the Flame State Heaven established by the First Generation Human Emperor, the Chuzhou Heaven established by the Seventh Human Emperor, and the unknown Xiazhou Heaven.]

[On another front, the Divine King, unwilling to be bound by the Five Thousand Years Celestial Dao’s Determination, sought guidance from Void Sea Ancestor, uniting the Desolate Human Race to establish a new Imperial Dynasty to contend against it.]

[With their capabilities, they couldn’t confront the “New Celestial Dao” behind the Human Race, but they could use the dead Celestial Dao carcass of Returning Void Heaven, and through this opportunity, even hope to peek into the realm of “Celestial Dao.”]

[Words of the Daoist Ancestor.]

[The Buddha, Zombie Saint, Chaotic Ancient Celestial King, and the Four Fierce Beasts of Mountains and Seas were moved, secretly forming an alliance, each sending people to unify Alien Race Great Demons, finally deciding to support a Mortal to be Emperor.]

[Except for the Ancient Celestial Court, all of the Ten Great Sacred Land Dynasties bowed in allegiance to that Mortal Emperor, strongly supporting him. That Mortal Emperor sacrificed to Returning Void Heaven, and the Ten Great Sacred Land Dynasties occupied ninety percent of the Celestial Mandate of Returning Void Heaven; that Mortal Emperor indeed gained the “Returning Void Celestial Mandate”!]

[Two Persons of Destiny unexpectedly emerged in the Human Race.]

[The Daoist Ancestor, with increased confidence, planned to use the power of “Celestial Dao’s Determination” to overthrow the First Emperor.]

[Though the Qing Country eradicated Alien Races, they had three thousand Alien Races that had surrendered earlier. Among them, an Alien Race Demoness used the argument “the First Emperor has no heirs” to convince the Martial Arts Hall in hopes of approaching the First Emperor.]

[For a time, an undercurrent stirred within the Human Race.]

[Meanwhile, Princess Taiping was outside waging war against the Demon God. After the Demon God was defeated, it suddenly opened its bloody mouth and laughed madly: “You Human Emperor… the Ten Thousand Years Celestial Mandate is approaching! Just like the Flame Ancestor back then—”]

[The First Emperor only had a ten thousand-year Celestial Mandate? Princess Taiping remembered the matter of the Flame Ancestor and was horrified.]

[Princess Taiping returned to the Emperor’s Pass, seeking the Saint from the Martial Arts Hall to explain the crucial point of this matter.]

[“Ten Thousand Years Celestial Mandate?”]

[The Saint from the Martial Arts Hall was silent. Since the First Emperor, Xiang Ji, ascended to establish the Qing Country, three thousand years had already passed. Whether true or false, anything concerning the First Emperor was a significant issue.]

[A few saints exchanged glances.]

[“Use those with the death penalty to verify.”]

[The leading Saint suddenly formed a sword with his fingers, and with a “hiss,” sliced open his palm. Blood flowed and formed crimson patterns on the ground, spreading like lightning. A cultivator was pushed into the formation, his hair turning frosty white at a speed visible to the naked eye.]

[Time flowed like a waterfall, wildly circulating within the formation.]

[Everyone held their breath and watched as the face of the sinful cultivator rapidly aged.]

[“Puh.”]

[In the year when he achieved his mighty destiny, a faint sound was heard, and the cultivator’s body suddenly went rigid. The brilliance in his eyes extinguished like a candle being snuffed out. His body remained in a cross-legged posture, but under the horrified gaze of the crowd, it scattered into dust.]

[The hall was deathly silent.]

[The Saint of the Martial Arts Hall quickly calculated that the ‘Ten Thousand Years Celestial Mandate is in Xiazhou Heaven,’ and understood why the Four Great Evil Gods had gone to such lengths to wrest Xiazhou Heaven away from Qing Country’s control, giving orders to the various True Martial Lords to immediately reclaim Xiazhou Heaven!]

[In the coming years, they must find a way to unravel the ‘Ten Thousand Years Celestial Mandate.’]

[At this moment, the Void Sea Mortal Country dispatched troops to crusade against Qing Country, attacking the Emperor’s Pass, commanding a multitude of demon gods, and suppressing many Soldiers Masters within Qing Country’s borders, though not daring to rashly invade Qing Country.]

[They knew that once they invaded the borders, under the Mountain and River Celestial Mandate of the First Emperor, ‘Under the whole heaven, everyone is a subject. On the coasts, everyone is a vassal,’ a single command could make them disappear.]

[But as long as the First Emperor dies, the Mountain and River Celestial Mandate will vanish.]

[The First Emperor Xiang Ji exited the pass, feeling delighted at these mice who came to court death. The Four Great Evil Gods had been hiding and maneuvering from behind the scenes for years, not daring to confront him directly.]

[Even if the Four Great Evil Gods joined forces, they could not resist the ‘First Emperor Xiang Ji,’ let alone that the Celestial Destiny God White Snake was already suppressed by the Butian Great God, but this time incarnations of Six Paths Celestial Emperor Level figures stood behind them.]

[The First Emperor had previously suppressed two strong opponents at the same level, exerting all his might, but could he really suppress six? The Daoist Ancestor alone could pin down the First Emperor!!]

[This time, there are six!!]

[Anyway, the Four Great Evil Gods don’t believe it.]

[The First Emperor Xiang Ji held ‘Invincible Under Heaven’ in one hand and ‘Xuanyuan Sword’ in the other, waging a hundred-year-long battle in the heavens against the Buddha, Zombie Saint, Chaotic Ancient Celestial King, Four Fierce Beasts of Mountains and Seas, Divine King, and Daoist Ancestor.]

[This intense battle ranged from the Nine Heavens to the depths of the Returning Void Heaven, with shattered stars falling like rain.]

[“This madman… does he really want mutual destruction?”]

[The nearby Buried Immortal Marquis Dugu Jue and Joyful Buddha trembled in their hearts.]

[The Daoist Ancestor, Buddha, Zombie Saint, Chaotic Ancient Celestial King, Four Fierce Beasts of Mountains and Seas, Divine King, and others were in a predicament, knowing that with the First Emperor owning ‘Invincible Under Heaven,’ they would inevitably lose if the battle continued.]

[However, because of the existence of the ‘Ten Thousand Years Celestial Mandate,’ the First Emperor would not last till that day!]

[Since this fateful battle was brought forward, they could only fight to the death.]

[The stalemate among the strongest forces meant the two nations could only compete in raw strength!]

[Clearly, the foundation of the Ten Great Sacred Land Dynasties far surpassed that of Qing Country, with a continuous surge of alien forces below the Great Demon level assaulting the Emperor’s Pass. Only thanks to the formidable combat power of the Saint of the Martial Arts Hall and Daoist Master of Soldiers, who could each contend against three enemies, the situation barely held.]

[Outside the Emperor’s Pass, the battle was fiercely pitched.]

[At that moment, a crimson arrow pierced through the sky, nailing a hidden demon god to the crumbling walls of the Emperor’s Pass. Zhou Qingshan, the Celestial Human Emperor of the Seventh State, stood arching his bow, while behind him, the Flame State Celestial Iron Cavalry blazed through the demon race’s army, tearing a bloody path.]

[The two states’ celestial human armies joined the Emperor’s Pass, and Qing Country was no longer fighting alone.]

[The ‘Battle of Celestial Destiny’ engulfed the entire Void Sea, leaving no clan who fell into the Returning Void Heaven untouched.]

[One must choose between two options.]

[The senior members of both sides knew that victory or defeat lay in Xiazhou Heaven!]

[Buried Immortal Marquis Dugu Jue and Joyful Buddha left the Emperor’s Pass upon orders, using the sense of the ‘Four Great Evil Gods of old’ to search the Void Sea for Xiazhou Heaven, while the human generals made several assaults on the alien race’s lines, all to no avail.]

[The sounds of battle outside the Emperor’s Pass surged into Changle Palace.]

[“We failed again.”]

[Xue’Er and Princess Taiping listened silently to the fervent cries of battle from outside, knowing that Xiazhou Heaven related to the ‘Ten Thousand Years Celestial Mandate’ could not fall into the hands of the alien race first.]

[“The entanglement of my fate with His Majesty’s spans lifetimes. General, hold the fort at Changle Palace for me till I return with Xiazhou Heaven.”]

[Xue’Er’s figure gradually became transparent, her voice the only part clearly remaining. In the blink of an eye, Princess Taiping saw Xue’Er using a secret technique to sense and reincarnate.]

Zhuxia Calendar, Year 5000.

21st Century.

Before archaeologist Gao Fei Xue excavated the ‘Tomb of the First Emperor,’ she had a grand dream of the Spring and Autumn Annals.

Dreamer…
