Chapter 1986: Yao Village (1/2)
Pure was forced into a state of tranquility after the shocking battle. Many great powers and imperial lineages decided to go into shutdown mode.
Powerful ancestors warned their disciples to not go outside and cause trouble. This was a special moment because these powers chose to cut themselves off from the outside world.
Jin Ge’s ascension was supposed to be an exciting matter in Pure but no one was talking about it any longer.
The battle at wildland was unavailable to cultivators outside of Pure. Nevertheless, they could still feel the fluctuation from the world-destroying energy. The weaker ones were unaware but still suppressed by the power.
After the battle, the former didn’t want to talk about it while the weak only heard that it was a taboo subject. This was the reason for the silence in Pure.
The juniors were curious but the seniors were careful and continuously warned them against a possible disaster from being too nosy.
There was still something good that comes from this. Because of the general isolation, the young ones trained much harder. In just a few years, more talents came out of Pure than before.
Li Qiye left Pure after the battle. War-Monarch Heaven Emperor and Immortal Monarch Jilin’s groups worked together to open a pa.s.sageway to Arrogance for him, allowing a smooth trip.
There was a reason for choosing Arrogance. It was a haven and had the greatest population of the hundred races in all thirteen continents. They have been here for the longest.
Thus, the three races seemed weaker in comparison in this land.
The reason for its prosperity was due to the old sages, but of course, the biggest contributor was Immortal Emperor Jiao Heng.
He reigned over his aura and changed the name of the continent from White to Arrogance.
Moreover, he went as far as announcing a complete separation of the hundred races from their overlords and made this place a haven.
Because of this, the children of Arrogance all remembered and sang praises of his t.i.tle for generations.
Li Qiye didn’t meet up with the group from the nine worlds right away. Is destination was an ordinary place full of mountains and towering trees. Deers and eagles were a common sight. Waterfalls scattered all over the place.
Small villages were around due to the spa.r.s.e population. He stood on top of a peak to look at the villages shrouded in smoke billowing from the stoves.
The peak he was standing on was completely straight and perilous. A mortal had no way of reaching its pinnacle.
On top were numerous graves with only names on the tablets, nothing else. There must have been more than one hundred - all were unadorned and simple.
No one has been here taking care of this place but weeds and foliage didn’t take over, only a few blades of gra.s.ses growing through the stony crevices here and there.
He poured good wine on them before leaning back to look at the distance.
“Watching the sunset while growing older, surrounded by children and grandchildren while dying of old age, that’s not too bad. Mortals would praise such a life filled with fortune and longevity, surely a life worth living.” Li Qiye chuckled while drinking and looking at the smoke emanating from the villages.
No one knew that these graves belonged to existences that have once threatened the thirteen continents. Many of them were experts at the divine level for they were the fiercest of generals. They rode on the battlefield while their fame alone was enough to rob their enemies of courage.
