Chapter 1884: Jin Ges Arrival (1/2)
It was very lively, rowdy even, outside of Imperial Change. People came and went; shops were set up by merchants shouting advertis.e.m.e.nts.
“A unique Buddhist bone excavated from the plain, capable of expelling evil and protect the body, very cheap!” One merchant quietly advertised.
Despite the numerous merchants, no one dared to shout in this place or they tried to minimize their shouting to the limit. They were afraid of disturbing the peace of the emperors inside. Once provoked, the emperors might turn everyone here to ashes.
Some came purposely to visit Buddhist Plain while others were only here to sightseeing. Their trip could eventually become a nice conversational topic, completely worth their time in Exploration Grounds.
There was a few buildings and pavilions quite far away from Imperial Change. They were built by some real masters. Among them were High G.o.ds who wanted to copy the emperors by establis.h.i.+ng a home here. Alas, they still haven’t found success because it wasn’t that easy to refine the land in this place. The city was made from many emperors working together. Even High G.o.ds had this type of power, even when there were several of them.
Because of this, these buildings eventually became ruins or a temporary resting place for cultivators.
“Thump! Thump! Thump!” At this time, there was someone loudly slamming their head on the ground. An old man was doing so in a respectful ceremonial manner.
He wore a dragon robe and solemnly shouted: “Ancestor, please guide our sect back to glory.”
He kept on kowtowing while shouting at the city.
“What is he doing?” The newcomers didn’t know what he was doing.
“That’s the Ye Clan Master.” An old man sighed and revealed: “He wants guidance from his Immortal Monarch. The Ye had fallen recently, given the cold shoulder by several races on top of having their territory invaded and annexed. When their monarch was around, no one dared to do anything to them but not anymore. That’s why he wants guidance right now.”
“He has been kowtowing for three months but his ancestor on duty here wouldn’t meet him.” A young merchant nearby added.
Jilin Princess became slightly emotional after seeing this. This was, in fact, a rather common occurrence. After a decline, many sects would come asking for their ancestors to come out and prop up the clan once more.
“It’s not easy being an emperor. Some risked the threat of the Heavenly Execution and still came into being in order to help their descendants navigate the storm.” She murmured.
“The majority of descendants are useless.” Li Qiye said calmly: “Of course, it’s not easy for emperors to sever their blood ties either.”
He was familiar with this type of scene as well. Some emperors eventually gave up and let their clan and descendants fence for themselves.
“Return from whence you came.” Finally, a voice resounded from within. It had an unquestionable divinity and supreme power.
The rowdiness outside the city immediately ceased. Everyone stopped what they’re doing; the merchant halted their quiet peddling. All eyes were on the city.
No one could see what was going on within but the voice of an Immortal Monarch made many shudder.
Even though the monarch didn’t exert his aura, people still felt a sense of reverence all the same.
The clan master went stiff with a gray complexion. His eyes were filled with despair. This was too big of a blow for him. Their clan needed the help of their ancestor but he didn’t care about their fate!
After a long time, he regained his wits and didn’t dare to oppose an order of a monarch. He left quietly afterward.
People felt sympathy after seeing this. Many great powers have fallen before; they wanted to ask for help but being abandoned by their ancestors was truly devastating.
