Chapter 1700: The Origin Of The Bu (2/2)

“So our clan is from the tenth world!” She concluded. This was one of the theories about her clan’s origin.

“Yes.” Li Qiye nodded: “This is something I’m sure of. However, your progenitor has erased many things in the past. He didn’t want the world and his descendants to know about it.”

“Above the nine heavens…” She was slightly dazed. After a while, she asked: “Why did the progenitor bring our clan down to the nine worlds?”

“He’s the only one who knows the reason. In my opinion, he might be hiding, hoping that his descendants can quietly flourish instead of competing for hegemony. Unfortunately, they have let him down.” Li Qiye mused.

“Was it to avoid the enemy?” Bu Lianxiang wondered.

“I don’t think it’s that simple. At his particular level, all enemies should be crushed by him.” Li Qiye shook his head: “Not more than ten people would be able to take their descendants down from the tenth world. Plus, few among them are still alive right now, probably around five.”

“What’s the reason then?” She was startled, having been aware of her progenitor’s strength but didn’t expect it to be at that level.

“Hard to say, he might be the only one who knows. I think it is to avoid a heavenly calamity. Your secret location might not be created by him either. It must be from an ancient era, created by the heaven and earth. It is an ultimate treasure to avoid heavenly calamities. Such a treasure ground would be fought over up in the tenth world. After all, their descendants would at least have a spot to hide. Few in the nine worlds should be aware of this type of places. Even Immortal Emperors who were aware wouldn’t use them to stay in the nine worlds. Because of this, no one tried to seize your place, outside of maybe the Ancient Ming.” Li Qiye stated.

Bu Lianxiang nodded. After destroying her kingdom, the Ancient Ming searched everywhere. It wasn’t just for simple treasures.

“I’m aware of Immortal Emperors going to the tenth world. It is unavoidable after obtaining the Heaven’s Will. But why are there so few people who have descended? The tenth world is the realm of the G.o.ds and emperors so there should be many unstoppable beings. They should be capable of this.” She became curious.

Li Qiye replied: “The price is immense even if they are capable of descending. Like I have said, not more than ten beings can rely on their own strength to come down while paying the price. For example, your progenitor is certainly strong enough. Bringing your clan down from up there must have been tremendously difficult. His death would have been the simplest payment.”

“So our progenitor died because of this.” She was startled.

“You can put it that way.” Li Qiye nodded: “That’s why no one who is capable of this feat wants to do it. It’s like being a tyc.o.o.n having everything they want suddenly becoming a beggar without arms and legs. Would you want to do it?”

Stunned she was with this question. Indeed, no one would be willing to do so but her progenitor did for some unknown reasons.

“Looks like we have let him down.” She gently sighed. The Bu Clan was still annihilated in the end.

Their fate was sealed the moment they became allies with the Ancient Ming.

“The ancestors can’t control everything. Even though they are always hopeful about their descendants, some of these children will be less than acceptable.” Li Qiye chuckled: “If their descendants are always virtuous, then no imperial lineages would ever fall in this world. How can the smaller sects ever rise then?”

She could only nod and accept the words of consolation.
