Chapter 1568: Pearl City (1/2)
Heaven Suppression had great influence in the northern Grand Sea. There was even a saying in this place - the world obeys the clarion call of Heaven Suppression.
The strongest inheritance in Mortal Emperor was debatable. However, the answer was certain for the Grand Sea; it was Heaven Suppression.
Under the leaders.h.i.+p of the Black Dragon King, this sect reigned for three generations. The Black Dragon Legion had also swept through the world before. Even imperial legions would try to avoid it if possible.
Though the king was no longer around in this generation and the leaders.h.i.+p continued to change, the city’s influence and prestige were still as strong as before.
Its territory was still vast and difficult to calculate in its entirety.
There was another belief in this domain. If someone were to divide the Grand Sea into six parts, the city alone would have full control of one. Thus, it commanded countless sects and kingdoms.
The Pearl Archipelago was under Heaven Suppression’s jurisdiction, a part of its main branch.
Among the amazing number of sects and kingdoms under its control, there were all kinds of relations. Some were created by disciples of the city while others were erected by the descendants of the Black Dragon Legion’s members. All of them more or less belonged to the city.
This wasn’t the case for the Pearl Archipelago. This location was very crucial and under the control of an important branch. It can even be said that there were times when the archipelago didn’t need to listen to the city due to its special position.
Just like its name, this was considered the pearl of the Grand Sea. This archipelago gave birth to many talents. There were hidden dragons and crouching tigers everywhere; the paradise of experts.
It had a territory of one million miles consisting of numerous islands. Looking down from the sky, the interconnected islands looked like a formation with an unbelievable level of complexity.
They wouldn’t believe that it was formed naturally. If this was the case, it would be too incredible. But on the other hand, a person capable of changing the terrain of this magnitude would be frightening as well.
After leaving the village, Li Qiye crossed through s.p.a.ce and instantly arrived at the Pearl Archipelago. This particular trip was very important to him.
In fact, coming to Heaven Suppression and killing Gu Zun wasn’t too crucial. It was only part of the trip, a trivial matter. However, this wasn’t the case for the Pearl Archipelago. He came here to take a unique and peerless item across history.
Though he didn’t hide it in this place, it was a very important node since it was the location of a fortified seal. In Li Qiye’s eyes, nothing could be used to measure its worth.
In his millions of years, he paid the greatest price for this particular item.
Immortal Emperors and Immortal Monarchs would do anything for this item because it was worth it. It had an unfathomable power and could destroy everything.
This item didn’t belong to the nine worlds! Li Qiye mustered all of his abilities and traveled everywhere before finally finding this item. Afterward, he hid it in a secret region in the nine worlds.
For example, the Black Dragon King knew where he hid the Netherlord Hexagear Launcher. Or, he would tell another emperor about the location of a different treasure.
This was the only thing he kept to himself. He sealed it for an eternity so that he would be the only one who knew of its location. He knew full well that thing wasn’t usable. Once resorting to it, everything would be over and only ashes would be left.
Nevertheless, its destructive power wasn’t why it was precious. The true value lies in its effect as a deterrent since he would never use it carelessly.
