13: Chapter 13 Ancient Secrets

"What do you mean by the first great change in the world that you just mentioned?" Ye Xiu stared intently into the young girl's eyes and asked.

"Spiritual Qi resurgence, the world rebooting."

"That's it?"

"That's it."

"Damn, isn't that the same as saying nothing?" Ye Xiu was somewhat annoyed and embarrassed, staring fiercely at the young girl.

"..."

The young girl remained silent for a moment, thinking, before speaking again: "The world will experience nine tidal changes; in other words, this world will undergo nine great upheavals."

"Nine times?"

"Yes, nine times. You are just the first batch of pioneers."

Ye Xiu was stunned for a moment and pondered for a long time.

He then continued to ask: "What changes will occur during these nine tidal changes? Also, how long will it take for the next tidal change to begin?"

The young girl shook her head: "I don't know."

"You don't know?"

"Yes, Bloodline Legacy primarily focuses on innate Divine Ability and Cultivation Technique. There isn't much record of these grand trends of the world."

The young girl saw Ye Xiu's fierce expression.

Fearing he would lose his mind and attract a Deity Obsession, she immediately explained.

Hearing this, Ye Xiu was somewhat displeased: "Then what do you know?"

"The Ancient Imperial Court will return."

"What does that mean? Explain in detail."

"There are no details; I have told you everything I know."

The young girl was also very displeased. If it weren't for the excessive consumption caused by repeatedly using her innate Divine Ability and secret techniques, she wouldn't bother playing this question-and-answer game.

Ye Xiu took a deep look at this Yao Race girl and said nothing more.

The future situation was not optimistic; the world would undergo nine great changes, and in the end, the so-called Ancient Imperial Court might return.

Could the Human Race really survive in such an environment?

He sighed in his heart.

"Hey, if there's nothing else, I'm going to leave."

Seeing Ye Xiu silent for a long time, the young girl waited a few minutes before asking.

"I'm not done asking yet."

Ye Xiu glanced at the girl and said indifferently.

"Still asking? Are you 'One Hundred Thousand Whys'?"

"Stop talking nonsense, lest you bring a fatal disaster upon yourself. Now tell me, what is the situation with your Yao Race?"

Yao Race?

The young girl shook her head slightly, her expression improving quite a bit.

She thought for a moment before explaining.

"The term Yao Race is too broad, and there are too many branches. Many powerful races have long since become their own factions, such as the Four Sacred Races: the Dragon Clan, the Phoenix, the White Tiger, and the Xuanwu. These powerful groups have long drawn a line between themselves and the Yao Race."

"Then what is the strength of the Yao Race?"

Ye Xiu continued to ask. This was the question he most wanted to know. The reason he didn't ask it first was that he had to ask a few other questions to analyze how credible this young girl's words were.

Apparently, this young girl was a big mouth with no secrets at all.

Perhaps there were other possible reasons.

The young girl naturally didn't know how Ye Xiu was evaluating her in his heart.

After hearing the question, she thought for a while.

She said: "The world has only recently recovered, so there aren't many powerhouses in the Yao Race. Those powerful races should still be in the incubation period. Apart from the occasional lucky one, I'm afraid not many have successfully transformed."

"Incubation period? Does it take a long time?"

Ye Xiu thought of the ranking of the Top Ten Martial Sages, seven of whom were from the Yao Race.

After those guys successfully transformed, would they step directly into the Mingdao Realm, or would they ascend in one step and achieve the strength of the Void Imperial Realm?

These were all possible.

After all, the one who commanded the Yao Beast army to attack Tianfu was definitely not just at the Sky-Soaring Realm; it must have been at least the Mingdao Realm.

"A month or so, not too long. But with the world's recovery, many supreme treasures and Legacies will emerge. Over these few months, those with good luck might be the first to obtain some Ancient Legacies."

"Ancient Legacies? You should just say it all at once. Asking back and forth—if you aren't annoyed, I am." Ye Xiu was speechless.

"If you don't ask, how would I know what you want to understand?" the young girl retorted.

Ye Xiu suppressed the urge to slap her and continued to ask: "Then tell me, what is an Ancient Legacy?"

"Legacies from the era of the Ancient Imperial Court."

"...Didn't you just say you didn't know about the Ancient Imperial Court?"

Ye Xiu's expression was very ugly. He felt that if he continued talking to this woman, he would really be unable to stop himself from slapping her to death.

"You didn't ask about Legacies just now; that's a different matter from the Ancient Imperial Court."

"Continue..."

"There are many things left over from the ancient times. That era had countless supreme powerhouses, so naturally, many things were left behind. For example, that Deity Obsession from before—that thing was left over from the ancient era."

"Continue..."

Ye Xiu stopped asking; the more he asked, the more confusing it got.

It was better to let this brainless Yao Race girl ramble on; that way, he might get more intelligence.

"The existence of the Deity Obsession predates the ancient era. Did I tell you this already?"

"No, continue..."

"The ancient era was the era of the Imperial Court. At that time, the Human Emperor suppressed the Grandmist universe and ruled over all the heavens and worlds."

"Continue..."

A sharp light appeared in Ye Xiu's eyes. He hadn't expected that the Ancient Imperial Court was established by the Human Race.

"The world we are in is the Main World. It connects to all the heavens and worlds. After the nine tidal changes, the passages connecting the heavens will open. At that time, if the Human Race does not have the strength to continue suppressing the heavens, the myriad races will definitely make a move."

There was no lack of threatening intent in the young girl's words.

Ye Xiu frowned, said nothing, and waited for the young girl to continue.

"I have said what I should say; you don't need to look at me like that."

The young girl didn't continue talking about ancient matters. She blinked her eyes innocently, waiting for Ye Xiu's reply.

Ye Xiu pondered for a moment.

Then he said: "One last question. What is your name, and which group of the Yao Race are you from?"
