194: Ancient History of Emperor Wu

“This was also a last resort!”

Wu Luo sighed upon hearing this.

“Young… Young Master, do you know the Origin of my Ancient Martial Emperor Sect’s Guwu Two Branches?” Wu Luo asked.

“I only know that the Guwu Two Branches are descendants of the two founders of the Ancient Martial Sect,” Qian Duoduo said.

“Yes, and no!”

Wu Luo chuckled, then explained to Qian Duoduo.

“In the Ancient Era, the two founders of the Ancient Martial Sect were actually two Senior Brothers from the Wuqian Pavilion. After the two Old Ancestors passed away, their descendants jointly governed the Ancient Martial Sect for over ten subsequent eras.”

“In the twelfth era, an unavoidable internal conflict erupted between the two branches. The Gu Family branch colluded with external enemies, intending to annihilate the Wu Family branch and seize sole power.”

“This plot was discovered by the Wu Family branch, who made preparations in advance, ultimately leading to the near extinction of the Gu Family branch. Only one orphaned girl remained. This girl was the wife of the Ancient Martial Sect Master at the time. She was already pregnant and was also a pitiful person, so they showed leniency.”

“It was this moment of soft-heartedness that created a legendary figure for our Ancient Martial Emperor Sect!”

As he spoke, Wu Luo’s eyes gleamed.

Qian Duoduo understood who this person was.

The legendary figure who established the Ancient Martial Emperor Sect, the Ancient Martial Great Emperor.

“That era was the most prosperous time for our Ancient Martial Emperor Sect. The Great Emperor, with his formidable strength, suppressed many True Kings, achieved the title of Great Emperor, and dominated an entire era.”

“Before the Great Emperor left, he left behind two Bloodlines. The two adopted the surnames Gu and Wu respectively, which led to today’s Ancient Martial Emperor Sect. Ultimately, whether it’s the Gu Family or the Wu Family, they are both of the Great Emperor’s Bloodline.”

“And this matter is only known to the leaders of the two branches, and those above Saint Monarch in the two branches!”

Wu Luo revealed the secret history of the Ancient Martial Emperor Sect.

“So that’s how it is!”

Qian Duoduo hadn't expected such a deep Origin hidden within.

At this moment, Wu Xingqiong also spoke.

“Ten thousand years ago, I suffered a surprise attack. Although I survived, my Origin and Foundation suffered irreparable damage, causing my cultivation to regress and making further advancement impossible.”

“And Gu Batian, due to injuries sustained in his early years, was also halted at this point in his life. At that time, the Old Ancestor only had ten thousand years of Lifespan remaining!”

“Mortals live for a hundred years, ten thousand years is a hundred lifetimes. But for Cultivators like us, ten thousand years is but a flick of the finger. To Cultivate another Quasi-Emperor is almost impossible!”

“To preserve the Legacy of the Emperor Sect, from that moment on, we began to lay out our plans. From that day, Gu Xingkui began to constantly cause trouble for me, relying on Senior Brother Gu Batian.”

“For ten thousand years, there were even private confrontations with weapons. Young Master Qian must have heard that many Geniuses from our two branches died in mutual strife, right?”

Qian Duoduo nodded upon hearing this.

“Actually, all of this was just an act. Only dead people can truly fade from public sight!” Wu Xingqiong gave a wry smile.

Qian Duoduo was shaken. What a brilliant feint! One truly cannot underestimate the heroes of the world.

“My apologies, Young Master Qian. Just now in the main hall, Gu Xingkui and I were also putting on an act for you,” Wu Xingqiong said apologetically.

“It’s fine, I understand!”

Qian Duoduo waved his hand.

“Also, you two should have no regrets. If you work for our clan, I guarantee that each of you can become a Quasi-Emperor!”

Qian Duoduo didn't forget to paint a rosy picture for the two of them.

With the Myriad Spirits Altar in hand, Quasi-Emperor cultivation was easily attainable. It was merely a matter of killing two Quasi-Emperors, and there were currently three in this Wuqian Territory.

Wu Xingqiong and Wu Luo’s faces lit up with wild joy upon hearing this. They thought of the Nirvana Pill.

Because even a quarter of such a Medicinal Pill could solve their current problems.

Wu Luo’s heart stirred, and he said, “Young Master Qian, what do you need my Sect to do? Your visit here shouldn't be as simple as just asking my Sect to submit, right?”

He had taken Qian Duoduo’s words to heart, so after his own problem was resolved, his first thought was to work for the Xu Family.

“First, annihilate the Extreme Yin Holy Land and take control of the entire Ancient Martial Emperor Continent!”

Qian Duoduo’s eyes sharpened.

Wu Luo and the other two’s expressions subtly changed upon hearing this.

“Are you afraid?” Qian Duoduo’s eyes narrowed.

“If it were before, this old man would still be wary of that old fellow from the Nether God Holy Land. Now with Young Master Qian’s Medicinal Pill, let alone the Extreme Yin Holy Land, I can even kill that old fellow Saint Ming!”

Wu Luo looked at the jade bottle in his hand, a powerful confidence erupting from him.

“Very good!” Qian Duoduo laughed heartily. “The most urgent matter, Senior, is to quickly consume the Medicinal Pill! I wish you a further Breakthrough in advance!”

“This old man thanks Young Master Qian for his kind words!”

Wu Luo stood up and thanked Qian Duoduo.

Qian Duoduo smiled and accepted the thanks.

“You two, please entertain Young Master Qian well. Also, recall the Sect’s powerhouses. In a month at most, this old man will emerge from seclusion!”

“No need! To avoid alerting the enemy, it’s better for us to leave first! Just notify us when you emerge from seclusion!” Qian Duoduo refused.

“Alright!”

Wu Luo thought of something and could only agree.

Soon, the main hall opened.

“Your Sect is so ungrateful! Then this Young Master will see how you overcome the three-hundred-year crisis!”

“Hmph! No need for Your Excellency to worry!”

From within the main hall came Qian Duoduo’s exasperated voice and Wu Luo’s angry voice.

Afterward, Qian Duoduo, with a furious expression, left with A Hui. The Elders outside the hall looked at each other.

Immediately after, Gu Batian, with a dark face, led Gu Xingkui away, flicking his sleeves.

The Elders of the Gu Family branch followed suit, while the remaining Elders looked at the main hall but dared not approach.

And very quickly, the news that Qian Duoduo wanted the Ancient Martial Emperor Sect to submit became known to all the high-ranking officials.

Some were indignant, some were worried, some watched with indifference, and some with ulterior motives secretly had their confidants quietly leave… In Rain Mist Mountain.

More than a year had passed!

On this day, Xu Qing suddenly received a notification from the System.

【Congratulations to Host for investing in a Taiqing Dao Armor for a member of the Golden Fate Clan, triggering a million-fold return, rewarding one hundred Chaos Spirit Crystals and one Innate Yellow Middle Plum tree.】

【Congratulations to Host for investing in a haoyang emperor sword for a member of the Golden Fate Clan, triggering a million-fold return, rewarding one set of Golden Sun Dao Sword Art and one catty of Golden Sun Immortal Gold.】

Along with the System notifications, there were also messages from his little brother in the eternal clan token, detailing his experiences in the academy.

Upon arriving at the academy, he received priority cultivation and had been in seclusion in the Land of Time for nearly ten years. He was now a Saint-Emperor powerhouse.

One must know that before this, Xu Yuan had only just broken through to the God-Emperor Realm.

Finally, Xu Yuan mentioned that he had taken Jin Yi, one of the Nine Sages of the academy, as his Master. The latter was a supreme giant who had achieved Perfection in the Origin of Sword and had already touched upon the Dao of Sword.

Currently, he was being taken by his Master to leave the Enlightenment Academy and Cultivate at Immortal Sword Cliff.

Xu Qing was happy for him. To be able to touch upon the existence of the Dao, that was already one of the most powerful figures below the Emperor Realm, and he cultivated the Dao of Sword, known for its powerful offensive capabilities.

And Immortal Sword Cliff was a Sword Dao Holy Land. It was said that in the Ancient Era, there was an existence known as the Sword Immortal who, after slaying an enemy, left behind a heaven-shaking sword strike that was imprinted by heaven and earth.

This caused Immortal Sword Cliff to retain the Sword Dao power of that Sword Immortal. Throughout countless eras, many Sword Cultivators went there to comprehend, and among them, a Sword Emperor comprehended the Sword Dao from it, creating a myth.

In addition, Xu Yuan also gave Xu Qing many treasures for cultivation, from Saint King to Saint-Emperor cultivation resources, each of which was enough to make countless Saint Kings and Saint-Emperors scramble for them.

Xu Qing sighed, that little fellow had grown up.

Furthermore, he had originally planned to have the little fellow accompany him to the Nether Flame Emperor Valley after this matter, but it was clear that his little brother didn't have time.

“I’ll let you all live a little longer for now!”
