Chapter 1869: Giant Monument (1/2)
Heavenly Authority was powerful beyond imagination despite its few members. Even its date of inception was completely unknown. Rumor has it that it was much older than any imperial lineage.
The world didn’t know which emperor was part of it, but one thing was certain - the person currently in charge was the renowned World Emperor!
“Heavenly Authority, unstoppable across the myriad ages!” The princess regained her wits and said softly.
This t.i.tle commanded immense respect. Ordinary emperors would change their expression upon hearing it while young cultivators became full of reverence.
“No such thing. If the heaveners have their Heavenly Authority, then our hundred races have Heaven’s Ender!”
“Heaven’s Ender of the hundred races!” The princess was moved by this name with a flas.h.i.+ng glimmer in her eyes: “All the Immortal Emperors there are seven-ranked and up.”
“Legends aren’t always accurate.” Li Qiye gently shook his head: “But, if the Immoral Emperors from this group come out, Heavenly Authority must tread carefully as well.”
There was a phrase in the thirteen continents - heaveners’ authority versus the hundred enders. Many people in future generations believed that these were the two strongest opposing organizations around. Of course, there was no way to verify this claim.
According to the tales, Heaven’s Ender was started by Immortal Emperor Ba Zhen. After many generations, other supreme emperors rumored to be seventh-ranked and up from the nine worlds joined in. [ref] This
Contrary to Heavenly Authority, Heaven’s Ender kept a low-profile. People believed that Immortal Emperor Hao Hai was the current leader.
“Young n.o.ble, how strong is Heaven’s Ender? Which organization is stronger?” The princess was filled with curiosity.
Even though her progenitor, Immortal Monarch Jilin, had eight wills, he still didn’t join Heaven’s Ender. It looked as if this organization only took in emperors from the nine worlds. A junior like her wasn’t privy to the exact details.
“Hard to say.” Li Qiye’s eyes became profound: “Heavenly Authority had been established long ago and its true significance is not something you understand. Of course, Heaven’s Ender daring to have this name shows that it is no slouch either. Immortal Emperor Ba Zhen is the first emperor of the demons. The fact that he even dared to create an organization with this name should make its true power obvious.”
Immortal Emperor Ba Zhen used to be an Eight-Truths Bamboo that eventually found the dao. He was the progenitor of Mysterious Bamboo Mountain back in the nine worlds. After reaching the tenth, he spent a long time cultivating before establis.h.i.+ng Heaven’s Ender.
The princess could see that. Heavenly Authority was well respected and feared. If Immortal Emperor Ba Zhen’s group didn’t have sufficient power, they wouldn’t dare to take that name. It was clearly directed at Heavenly Authority.
If it wasn’t strong enough, it would have been destroyed long ago across the long years. Its existence was the best proof of its strength.
“I also heard about the Purewood Alliance.” The princess had one more question.
“Let’s go.” Li Qiye smiled and didn’t address her question: “If you keep on asking, others are going to take the treasure.”
The princess finally realized that their speed had slowed down. The experts in the back have pa.s.sed them now.
Li Qiye quickened his pace so the princess had no choice but to hurry up and forget about the Purewood Alliance for now.
The two of them reached the depth of Hope in a short time. Many cultivators were already waiting in this place.
However, they didn’t dare to get close and simply watched from the distance. Some hovered in the sky; other chose the peaks nearby; more preferred their vessels.
The princess stood on top of a mound with Li Qiye and took a deep breath after seeing the scene ahead.
It was a sea of bones as far as the eyes can see, a white expanse due to the number of skeletons.
