Chapter 2181: A Grand Exalt of the Pas (1/2)
t
When the power of the ancient Skywolf’s bloodline came in contact with the formation on the stone door, it immediately seeped in.
At the same time, the Grand Exalt’s formation on the stone door immediately erupted with blinding light. At that moment, the tremendous energy hidden within the formation seemed to have been awakened. As it surged, the entire meteor rumbled violently as it gave off a devastating presence.
“Who let you act recklessly?” Nearby, the old woman’s face suddenly changed. She looked back at Jian Chen and Kai Ya and called out to them. She looked at the simple stone door in undisguised fear, and with a flash, she arrived behind Jian Chen and Kai Ya. She grabbed them by the shoulders and was ready to leave as quickly as possible.
However, in the next moment, the old woman’s movements halted. Surprise filled her old face, and she immediately stared at the stone door with shining eyes.
Under the surging pulses of energy, the Grand Exalt’s formation on the stone door began to part slowly.
In just a while, the Grand Exalt’s formation that struck fear into the old woman’s heart had completely vanished. Only a droplet of bright red blood hovered there.
“What’s this all about?” This development stunned the old woman. She stared at the blood deeply and said, “Where did you get this droplet of blood from?”
“This is the power of the ancient Skywolf’s bloodline. I obtained it accidentally on the spatial battleship I was on with senior,” Jian Chen said. He already understood that the old woman was not someone who harboured evil intentions, so he trusted the old woman to a certain degree.
“It’s actually the power of the ancient Skywolf’s bloodline,” the old woman sighed in surprise. She stared at the simple stone door that seemed to have existed since time immemorial and said to herself, “Maybe this place was left behind by the past Grand Exalt, the ancient Skywolf? Or maybe this is where the ancient Skywolf passed away in meditation?”
“Senior, the ancient Skywolf is a past Grand Exalt?” Jian Chen was surprised. Just as the name suggested, past Grand Exalts were naturally Grand Exalts who appeared in the past. They no longer existed.
The old woman clearly knew some secret rumours about Grand Exalts. She said slowly, “That’s right. The ancient Skywolf is indeed a Grand Exalt that appeared in history. The time when he existed was before the seven Grand Exalts, in an aeon far earlier.”
“From the moment the Saints’ World was created till now, probably no one knows how long it has existed for apart from peak experts like Grand Exalts. This endless period of time has been split into many aeons. Who knows how many aeons it has already been. But according to my knowledge, the aeon before the seven Grand Exalts was the ancient Skywolf’s aeon. Only when all the peak experts of that aeon died did the aeon of the seven Grand Exalts begin.”
“In other words, there have been many Grand Exalts in the Saints’ World across all this time,” Jian Chen sighed emotionally.
“Naturally. Who knows how many aeons have passed already in the Saints’ World. There are Grand Exalts in every aeon.” Memories flooded the old woman’s eyes as she murmured, “Many years ago when I was beside my master, I was fortunate enough to see the first majesty of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng. I remember that the first majesty said something to my master back then. She said that although the Saints’ World has been through many aeons, it’s impossible for the number of Grand Exalts in a single major world to exceed ten for every aeon.”
When she reached there, the woman scoffed, “People say that once you reach Godhood, you break free from the limitations of age and gain eternal life, allowing you to become as old as the world. But in reality, no one can truly attain eternal life. Even the Grand Exalts who comprehend laws to the limit and literally become an embodiment of laws themselves can also die.”
