Chapter 173 - 1,417 Years! Yan Clans Ancestor? (2/2)
”Tell me about the Xiantu Dao Trials.”
”Yes! After this time, I've gained a lot more information. The Xiantu Dao Trials is held as a selection to find a candidate for the Xiantu Emperor's dao. It is set up into three stages. The first stage tests will and endurance with cultivation. It's based on age and was vastly important.”
”The second stage tests comprehension into the heavens. Due to its importance to reach the heavenly genesis realm. As for the third stage, it tests combat strength and battle intelligence. This is the test that has the highest amount of mortalities.”
”After, the Xiantu Emperor will pick one out of the remaining participants to be bestowed his dao. Then, the other old monsters looking for disciples or talented young husbands, wives, or suitable dual cultivation partners for their disciples or children would take their pick from the remaining participants.” Tao directly explained.
”Of course, not many accept becoming a wife, husband, or dual cultivation partner just because they're picked. Nothing is forced, at least, not openly. Your invitation will have you be a selector at the end of the trial.”
”Mhm.” He nodded.
Just as Tao had finished a spiritual sense swept across the skyship with a transmission: ”You're invited to join the Xiantu Emperor's pre-trial banquet.” With that, the transmission ended.
Shockingly, only Yan Zaizen seemed to have heard the voice as Tao remained completely unaffected. ”I'll be leaving for now. When this is over, we'll leave this realm.”
”Wait!” Just as Yan Zaizen was about to depart, Tao shouted suddenly. ”We found your impersonator.” He declared confidently with a smile.
”Oh?” Yan Zaizen recalled the matter of Princess Qin in Presba. He almost forgot about that with the vast passing of years, but when he did, his eyes flashed with killing intent.
Witnessing this, Tao nodded. He left and came back with a youthful male with a weak aura. When the young man looked at Yan Zaizen, his weak eyes seemed to contain and unyielding attitude in the face of death.
”As I thought, Xin Guanyu.”
At the entrance to Sky Night Royal City, Xin Guanyu was a guard. He had approached them for Yan Zaizen's name in a domineering fashion. Despite that, he didn't do anything but allowed them in. At the time, he felt like someone was attempting to scheme against him. He was right.
”He targeted you because of your unknown background, making it easier for the Imperials to believe it was a stranger. Unfortunately, you were a little outside his imagination. With his meticulous planning with this Divine Replication Orb, he would have succeeded if it wasn't for you.” Tao took out a small, white orb that seemed to radiate a law of mimicry.
This orb was called this by Xin Guanyu, it was not its real name. ”It seems it can copy one's qi, soul, vital aura and change one's qi-attributes.”
”What?!” Pinaka's voice exploded from her resting state. She was in utter disbelief at the moment. Looking at the small, white orb, her eyes lit up. Yan Zaizen examined the orb as well and he was beyond shocked.
The aura was insanely familiar. It was as if his very bloodline originated from this orb.
”Regalia of the Heavens?!” Pinaka shouted. This realm was indeed special, containing two regalia of the heavens.
Yan Zaizen, however, had his own thoughts. ”This explains why the Yan Clan exists.” With a wave of his hand, the orb flew towards his palm. The sensation of familiarity was astounding. It was as if he was before an ancestor.
”Indeed, it seems the ancestor of your clan had arrived in this realm, within Presba area, refined a regalia of the heavens and even started a lineage.” She remarked. To refine a regalia of the heavens, one needs a sovereign level comprehension into the concept. Otherwise, it was impossible.
Therefore, this had a high chance of belonging to Yan Zaizen's lineage ancestor.
”Where did you get this? If you tell me, I'll spare your life.” Yan Zaizen was direct, but Xin Guanyu stayed silent, his eyes revealing an unyielding resolve to carry the secret to his death. Obviously not believing in Yan Zaizen's words.
”So be it.” A step and Yan Zaizen appeared directly before Xin Guanyu. He placed his hand firmly on his head, eliciting all sorts of struggling attempts from Xin Guanyu, but a second later it all faded as he dropped in unconsciousness. For a brief period, Yan Zaizen soul searched Xin Guanyu's soul flame.
”Could it really be such a coincidence?” During his search, he found out that Xin Guanyu had taken it from someone who took it from someone else. It's possible that thousands of years ago, during the chaos era, this was stolen from the Yan Clan.
Now, it returned to the only person who could follow its legacy. It was like fate had a divine grip on these events. Regardless of what happened, this orb would always arrive back in its rightful hands.
”I see. Send him to the Imperials, let Princess Qin get her revenge however she sees fit. She deserves that much.” Yan Zaizen ordered and Tao nodded. With that, he left.
