Chapter 1315: Hallowed Ancestor
“Your Hallowed Ancestor is still alive?!” Ruyan and Jians.h.i.+ were astonished as well.
“Uh…” The elder awkwardly laughed. He knew he couldn’t hide it anymore, so he said: “His Venerable is still alive, but he isn’t interacting with the rest of the world.”
There was no doubt that their Hallowed Ancestor had been sealed this whole time in order to allow him to live until now.
Li Qiye faintly smiled and said: “He won’t live for much longer despite being sealed. Two sea G.o.ds have helped him in this process, but in the end, one cannot escape death.”
The elder sighed at this comment. Unpleasant as it may be, it was the truth.
Jians.h.i.+ was amazed: “I have heard my elders talk about the Hallowed Ancestor before. He was the dao protector of two generations of sea G.o.ds!”
The Hallowed Ancestor was the most powerful and oldest existence in the Seven Martial Pavilion. Even in the entire Heaven Spirit World, he was still one of the most supreme characters.
When it came to the pavilion, many knew about the seven great styles, the strongest techniques of the pavilion. They believed no one knew all seven, but this was far from the truth.
Their three sea G.o.ds all understood the seven styles. The reason why their main successor, the Seven Sea G.o.ddess, was so famous was because she also knew the seven styles. Rumor has it that she was the only one who could claim this honor in the pavilion at this moment.
The truth was that there was another person outside of the G.o.ddess, and he was much more powerful and terrorizing compared to her. It was the Hallowed Ancestor!
“I heard your ancestor once challenged an Immortal Emperor with his seven styles.” Ruyan became curious.
Li Qiye found the topic amusing, so he answered before the elder could: “That he did. After understanding the seven styles, he believed he was invincible and challenged Immortal Emperor Yan s.h.i.+. At that time, the young emperor didn’t have the Heaven’s Will just yet, but it still ended in the ancestor’s defeat. Despite losing, he could still hold his head high. Being only several hundred years older than the emperor, he had yet to reach his peak…” [1. Yan s.h.i.+ means Golden Age, a pretty grand t.i.tle. She became an unfathomable Immortal Emperor and chose the t.i.tle “Yan s.h.i.+” because under her reign, the Nine Worlds entered the golden age of peace.]
In the minds of the Charming Spirits, her achievements were incredible. She was someone comparable to their first emperor, Immortal Emperor Gu Chun.
“Alas, the defeat had a profound and negative effect on him. It made him miss the opportunity to become a sea G.o.d, otherwise he would have become one. Nevertheless, he can still be proud of his achievement of personally protecting two future sea G.o.ds. He himself reached the top and was considered an existence capable of a.s.sailing Immortal Emperors.”
Li Qiye’s detailed verses left the elder surprised. This was something that happened in the distant past so few knew the truth. Of course, he was feeling very proud hearing about the tales of his Hallowed Ancestor.
“Well, he was still a little off from being able to a.s.sail Immortal Emperors.” Li Qiye noticed the proud demeanor of the elder and teased him.
The elder’s fiery pride was suddenly extinguished by this quip. It made him quite embarra.s.sed.
In spite of Li Qiye’s comment, Ruyan and Jians.h.i.+ marveled all the same. The Hallowed Ancestor’s achievements were incomparable; few could be his match. Of course, from another perspective, this showed just how invincible Immortal Emperor Yan s.h.i.+ used to be. Even the ancestor who had mastered the seven styles couldn’t stop the young emperor.
This was precisely why after her generation, the charming spirits always tried to find excellent human bloodlines. They all wanted to groom another existence as capable as Immortal Emperor Yan s.h.i.+.
The elder took a deep breath and earnestly bowed towards Li Qiye to say: “If Young n.o.ble is aware of this, there’s no need to hide it any longer. Yes, it is our Hallowed Ancestor who needs the life renewal.”
Li Qiye looked at him in response: “So, your ancestor wishes to come into being? If he stays in his coffin underground, it shouldn’t be a problem to live for another two generations. The sudden desire for life renewal can only mean he wants to come out.”
Jians.h.i.+ understood why the pavilion wanted to do this right away. She spoke: “Your Hallowed Ancestor must want to protect the Seven Sea G.o.ddess so that your pavilion can have your fourth sea G.o.d.”
Ruyan chuckled: “In the present, the most promising candidates to become the sea G.o.d are the Seas.h.i.+eld Prince and Seven Sea G.o.ddess. The G.o.ddess is versed in the seven styles, so this is a great advantage. However, I also heard that the prince’s Void Physique will reach grand completion within ten years, so she must be feeling the pressure.”
