Chapter 214 : Thousand Emperors Gate 2 (1/2)
Chapter 214 : Thousand Emperors Gate (2)
“There really is no other way to become close again to their ancestors?” A cultivator couldn’t help but ask.
Regarding this question, many old elders of the great powers were unable to answer. Finally, the old Turtle Monarch of the Flying Dragon Lake stated a method with soft words: “There is a way to meet one’s ancestor. It is to perform the honoring ceremony in the legends.”
“How does one perform this honoring ceremony?” The demons right next to the old Turtle Monarch quickly inquired.
“I don’t know.” The Turtle Monarch shook his head and continued: “I had lived for many years, but I have only heard about this method, and have never seen it before. I’m afraid there is no longer anyone in this world who knows of this ceremony!”
At the ferry, other cultivators also recognized the few Treasure Lords and Earth Immortals appearing at this place.
“Over there, isn’t he, isn’t he the last Gatemaster of the Thousand Emperors Gate?” An old Ancient Saint from the Heavenly Ghost Race from the Eastern Hundred City asked in extreme astonishment after seeing an emotionless Earth Immortal standing next to the river.
“Thousand Emperors Gate!” Hearing this name, many grand characters were in awe. Even Immortal Emperor’s lineages lost their colors after hearing such a name, as if it was a forbidden taboo.
“Is the Thousand Emperors Gate that frightening?” A junior noticed the shock on his master’s face, and curiously asked.
“One gate, four emperors; four emperors in a row!” The Enlightened Beings and the Ancient Saints of the previous generation with dignified expressions explained to their disciples: “Thousand Emperors Gate, four Immortal Emperors originated from this sect. Moreover, these four Immortal Emperors came one after another continuously. No other sects were able to successfully break through and steal the Heaven’s Will from them. For four generations in a row, the Heaven’s Will was held by the Thousand Emperors Gate!”
Having heard such a tale, countless younger disciples all lost their colors. Azure Mysterious Ancient Kingdom, one sect with two emperors. This was already enough to shake the entire Grand Middle Territory. It was an untouchable existence in contemporary time.
One gate, four emperors – this was simply unthinkable. The even more horrifying part was that it was a sect with four Immortal Emperor continuously This was truly a miracle. A miracle never before seen, and a miracle that would never happen again!
“One gate, four emperors in a row. Such an invincible lineage like this, how come they still met their end?” A junior after hearing such a legend couldn’t help but ask his seniors.
A senior lamented with a sigh, before gently answering: “There was an even more extraordinary character appearing after the fourth Immortal Emperor of the Thousand Emperors Gate. Her name was Empress Hong Tian (Vast Heaven)! In the end, even the Thousand Emperors Gate feared by the gods and devils were still destroyed at the hands of Empress Hong Tian. Legends told that the Thousand Emperors Gate was really going to have a fifth Immortal Emperor. Unfortunately, the person lived in the same generation as Empress Hong Tian. Ultimately, the powerful Thousand Emperors Gate eventually embarked on a journey towards destruction!”
Hearing the name Empress Hong Tian, this left an unerasable mark on all the young generations. An Empress destroying a four emperors’ lineage, how heaven defying was this, how invincible was this!

After so many powers had left for the Underworld Ferry, the calm Li Qiye finally started his departure.
“Everyone, stay back in the Ancient Sky City.” As they entered the burial ground, Li Qiye told the juniors.
Li Qiye this time did not want to bring along the juniors, not even the group of Tu Buyu. Only Li Shuangyan and Chen Baojiao came along.
In reality, the group of Nan Huairen really wanted to go to the ferry as well, but they could only let go of this thought after hearing Li Qiye’s command.
“This time is a bit special. We are not digging treasures; we are simply helping the War God Temple bury a coffin.” Li Qiye continued: “Which is why everyone shouldn’t go this time. In the end, this is not a treasure hunt. At the ferry, if you provoke an Earth Corpse, I won’t be able to help in time.”
The juniors didn’t question it since they didn’t want to bother Li Qiye.
Li Qiye eventually set off with Li Shuangyan and Chen Baojiao on top of the Tetra-War Bronze Chariot towards the ancient road into the Underworld Ferry.
Li Shuangyan looked at Li Qiye and felt that he had somethings on his mind. Ever since the Underworld River appeared, Li Qiye was in isolated cultivation without coming out for three days. And after coming out, he immediately left to the ferry which puzzled Li Shuangyan.
No one understood Li Qiye more than her. She could sense his mood changes when no one else could, so today, she felt that Li Qiye had some reservation.
“How are you?” After the chariot departed, Li Shuangyan softly and caringly asked the quiet Li Qiye.
Li Qiye looked at the rolling Underworld River in the horizon flowing down. He didn’t say anything for a long time. After this pause, Li Qiye then looked at the two of them and declared: “I intend to go on the Underworld Boat.”
That night when the Underworld River appeared, Chen Baojiao and Li Shuangyan’s questions stirred his thoughts. After three days of isolation, even though he said he was cultivating, but the truth was he was pondering over a certain item!
