Chapter 2134: Yang Shengping (1/2)
After several more days, Grand Sword’s biggest backer, Yang Shengping, finally arrived.
He was the only surviving ancestor from Grand Sword, the only one from this sect who could speak up at the court.
For example, Zhu Qi might be a sect master; but there were at least eight hundred other weak sects similar to Grand Sword in Insane and numerous stronger ones. Thus, Grand Sword was insignificant in this region.
Because of this, Zhu Qi was still only a no-name junior, unable to say anything at the court. In fact, he didn’t even have the privilege to enter the main dynasty.
Shengping was also the strongest in Grand Sword so his cultivation was not bad. Because he had lived for a long time, he knew many in the dao system. Because of this, he could still speak his mind at the court.
Zhu Qi and the other elders personally welcomed him with great reverence. This was the only capable big shot in their sect now. He contributed greatly to their continuous survival, regardless of how pitiful it was.
Without him, they would truly fall into the abyss, never able to get out.
He was a flouris.h.i.+ng old man despite being the oldest in the sect with a pink complexion, br.i.m.m.i.n.g with vitality.
He had heard of Li Qiye, this rebirth ancestor. Nevertheless, he still listened to a more detailed report and contemplated quietly afterward.
“What do you think, Ancestor?” Zhu Qi interrupted the silence.
He was quite nervous because their sect relied on this rebirth ancestor to rise again.
“I’m afraid I have no ways of verifying either.” Shengping eventually answered: “An ancestor from Insane Court would be unfathomable. I am but a speck of sand, how can I see through anything? Plus, the abyss is too old and untraceable, I don’t think anyone currently in the court can remember the ancestors from back then either.”
Insane Court had a long history. In the beginning, it was at the immortal level of a system, not the myriad level. However, it declined and fell down from the immortal to imperial then myriad level.
Thus, Three Immortals had a clear boundary between each realm on top of a separate power system.
It took many generations for an immortal lineage to fall down to the myriad level. Thus, the lineage itself didn’t know how many ancestors it had.
However, one that could be buried at the abyss would be among the first or second generation - the same era as Insane Ancestor.
How could the juniors now recognize their ancestors from millions and millions of years ago? Thus, verifying was too difficult for Yang Shengping.
“Then what do we do?” Zhu Qi didn’t know what else to do.
They couldn’t directly run up to Li Qiye and ask if he was real or fake. Such disrespect would result in annihilation if he turned out to be real!
Shengping contemplated again. This was indeed a hard issue due to the grave consequences.
If the guy was real and the sect didn’t treat him properly, it would also be a sin of impropriety and disrespect. But if he was fake, it would be quite a headache as well - something akin to conspiring with an outsider to fool the court.
“Why don’t we just ask the court to send someone here?” An elder said.
“No, if he isn’t real, dire consequences await us too.” Another elder remained cautious.
The entire group became nervous at the potential consequences.
“I’ll invite him back to Insane Court.” Shengping came up with an idea.
Zhu Qi was startled and said: “Ancestor, that’s a path of no return if something goes wrong.”
