Chapter 229: Empress Hong Tian (1)
“Are there any Underworld Boats that can increase my lifespan even more in this coming event?” In the end, the voice inside the wooden coffin rang again and no longer discussed the matter of the Tetra-War Bronze Chariot.
“According to our agreement, I can only increase your lifespan by five hundred years at best. Once you come out of the Underworld Boat, you will be able to rest in the Hidden Immortal Hall for countless more moons!” Li Qiye slowly said.
The voice in the coffin appeared again and said: “Five hundred years still has its limitation in the end. There will be a day where the Era Blood Stone will no longer be able to cover me!”
The person inside the coffin had lived for countless years. With the War G.o.d Temple’s strength, they had plenty of Era Blood Stones. However, even with a sufficient quant.i.ty, there will be a day when the Era Blood Stones lose their effect.
An existence of this level only wanted to remain alive in order to continue his mission of protecting the War G.o.d Temple. During the infinite stretch of the river of time, there will absolutely be a time where the War G.o.d Temple would need him to come into being. The price of coming out from the Era Blood Stone was extremely expensive but nevertheless necessary!
“There is no immortality.” Li Qiye shook his head and continued: “Even for Immortal Emperors shouldering the Heaven’s Will and ruling the universe, although they are christened as heavenly beings, they still have not seen immortality! War G.o.d Mu living for another generation was already unbelievable and could even be called a miracle since the beginning of time. However, all will come to an end while flowing down the river of time! Five hundred years is enough for you to be covered in dust for many, many more years!”
“There might not be an Underworld Boat that can give another lifetime in this generation. However, there has to be one that gives more years.” The person in the coffin clearly did not give up and added: “If I can be buried in a longer lifespan Underworld Boat, our War G.o.d Temple is willing to pay a huge price!”
“In each generation, there will not be more than three Underworld Boats that are able to strengthen one’s fate and longevity! In this coming event, I’m afraid there is not one that will give another generation of life. However, there is absolutely one that exceeds five hundred years!” Li Qiye looked at the coffin and eventually stated: “However, Middle Continent Princess has already chosen this boat. If you have heard of her tales, I trust that you would not want to compete with her!”
“Middle Continent Ancient Kingdom during the Tian Tu Annihilation Age!” After a long pause, the voice in the coffin appeared again with a much more serious tone. [1. Tian Tu is an Immortal Emperor of the Ancient Ming race]
“Since the beginning till now, there has only been one who called themselves the Middle Continent Ancient Kingdom.” Li Qiye leisurely smiled and answered.
The person in the coffin contemplated for a while before eventually asking: “Since there has been one boat that gave another generation in this world, when do you think another one will appear?”
“You make it sound as if it was such an easy matter to have an Underworld Boat granting another lifetime! This was a miracle, yet you are still inquiring about another one. I’m afraid only h.e.l.l would know the answer!” Li Qiye smiled as he shook his head: “In my opinion, even though War G.o.d Mu was able to live for another era, you should let go of this thought. This is essentially an impossible matter. And even if there is another one that can grant another lifetime, I’m afraid you won’t be able to seize it. Such a boat would absolutely first be seized by the person hanging on the Sky Reaching Peak of the Heavenly Ancient Corpse Burial Ground!”
“That existence is still alive!” The person inside the coffin exclaimed after hearing these words. He couldn’t help but become astonished. Even if he had lived for countless years and had heard of this legend, the world had always a.s.sumed that it was only a legend when, in fact, it was the truth!
“He is living very well. However, without going on an Underworld Boat, it is practically impossible for him to leave the Heavenly Ancient Corpse Burial Ground! If there was an actual boat that granted another lifetime flying out from the Underworld River, do you think that you can win it over him?” Li Qiye smilingly spoke.
Li Qiye’s words left the person in the coffin in silent contemplation. Even an invincible existence like him would be speechless against that legendary existence!
“Let us talk about business.” Li Qiye eventually said: “I will pick your boat. Boarding it is your issue. You should make good preparations to get on it; don’t blame me if you cannot get on it.”
“You can rest a.s.sured that boarding will not be an issue so long as you pick the right boat.” A voice came from the coffin with absolute confidence.
Li Qiye only shrugged and didn’t say anything else. Then, he turned around and left. He didn’t want to continue staying with a bunch of stubborn and conservative old men.
“This kid is too arrogant.” After Li Qiye left, an old man sitting on the ground couldn’t help but speak.
The voice in the coffin appeared again to say: “Don’t provoke him. He is not someone who is ignorantly arrogant. Him daring to act like that means that he has the abilities to do so!”
Having heard his forefather’s warning, even someone with an amazing status like this old man shuddered as he retracted his audacious intentions.
“Forefather, if there is an Underworld Boat better than five hundred years, can’t we think about it a little bit?” An ancestor couldn’t help but ask.
“Don’t go competing with Middle Continent Princess, that would just be asking for trouble. We will pick the five hundred years Underworld Boat.” The voice in the coffin replied.
