Chapter 938: Heavenguard Sec (1/2)

Chapter 938: Heavenguard Sect

Too much hot blood had been spilled at the Barren Earth. It could be said that all of the most tragic battles back then took place here.

Each time he visited this place, Li Qiye couldn’t help but recall all of those souls. Sometimes, he wished that time would stop so that he could stay with these lost comrades!

While standing near the bank of a broken river, Li Qiye quietly listened to the moving current. Ye Chuyun stood beside him and held his hand for comfort.

Li Qiye looked at her then pointed at the broken area ahead: “Did you know that in a distant era, this place was piled with corpses? Without the bodies of those heroes, the nine worlds of today wouldn’t exist.”

“I don’t know much about the battles in the past.” Ye Chuyun held his hand and spoke: “But I do hope for you to keep on moving forward. Our ancestors worked hard so that their descendants could continue to tread forward. I am sad to see you feeling so down.”

Li Qiye gently sighed while looking at the sceneries ahead. That war was far too cruel. Countless generals and soldiers in his strongest legion died on this land!

“Come, let us go to the Heavenguard Sect.” Eventually, he shook his head and moved on.

Ye Chuyun continued to quietly accompany him as they headed eastbound. Sometimes, she would introduce the land to him, hoping to see him smile.

The Heavenguard Sect was a lineage whose fame had long since spread across the entire Mortal Emperor World. It had three emperors, thus its prestige was difficult to match.

In the Barren Earth, there were two sects with three emperors. One was the Heavenguard Sect while the other was the Mysterious Bamboo Mountain. If the mountain was a prosperous heritage, then the sect was on a downward slope. This was especially true for the recent few generations. The sect had been low-key for a long time now.

Nevertheless, its high status in this world was not only due to its number of emperors, but also due to its efforts!

In the distant Ancient Ming Era, there was a legend. It stated that the Heavenguard Sect participated in many conquests and countless geniuses fell in those battles! It paid a heavy price after each war.

Keep in mind that the sect was extremely powerful since this was before the Emperors Era. Some people even calculated that it produced the highest amount of Godkings and True Gods. They even claimed that it was the strongest lineage with three Emperors in this world!

If it wasn’t for their involvement in these incredible battles and losing many Godkings and geniuses, perhaps it would have surpassed the unequaled Soaring Immortal Sect!

It has been said that the Heavenguard was the pride of the human race, its protectors. Because of this, other imperial lineages were very respectful towards the Heavenguard Sect.

Li Qiye and Ye Chuyun finally arrived. They saw many majestic divine peaks. All of these peaks towered high into the sky as if they were the abodes of gods.

No matter who they might be, anyone would feel insignificant while standing outside and gazing at this sect from a distance, as if they were mere insects. The supreme momentum in the sect’s ancestral ground made it seem like the stars were orbiting this location.

There was a monolith erected immediately outside of its entrance. There were no words carved on it, only the image of a crown that seemed as if it belonged to an Immortal Monarch of the nine heavens.

Li Qiye softly sighed while standing outside of the sect’s entrance. He had finally returned to this place after so many years.

In those far-off days, every time he left this place, he was accompanied by the men of this sect on his expeditions. During the Ancient Ming Era, not many of them returned alive.

Thus, later on, he didn’t want to return to this sect as he no longer wanted them to follow him. He didn’t wish to see its disciples riding his war chariots!

In his eyes, the sect’s sacrifices in that last battle during the Ancient Ming Era alone were a heavy price for it to shoulder. It had always supported him in his war against the Ancient Ming.

His legions clashed against the Ancient Ming time after time during the endless war. Many of his troops were from the Heavenguard Sect. He felt that the sect had paid its dues, so he no longer returned.

Back when Immortal Emperor Zhen Yu and Immortal Emperor Mu Tian were young and aspired for the apex, he had helped them many times. Nevertheless, he didn’t set foot in this place during the Emperors Era and had always refused the two Emperors’ continuous beseeching. 1

While the two stood outside of the gate, a guard from the sect shook his head and told them: “Dao friends, please return. Our sect does not meet guests.”

Li Qiye looked at him and said: “Yes, but I’m not a guest.”

The disciple couldn’t help but look at him again and asked: “May I ask for your name?”

Li Qiye didn’t answer him. He told Ye Chuyun: “You settle down here. I will go meet them.” With that, he went closer to the stone monolith and opened his mind. Two golden universal laws flew out and went straight into the monolith.
