Chapter 1287: Secrets of the Holy Gulf
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In the blink of an eye, a month had already passed on the Spiritual Jade Island. In a bamboo pavilion that was on the island, Luo Li and Ling Xi sat opposite each other.
A chessboard had been placed on the stone table for recreation purposes. Occasional smiles bloomed on the player's faces, causing the Spiritual Jade Bamboo Forest's lush greenery to fade in comparison. Apparently, these people were planning to wait on the island while Mu Chen was cultivating.
Whoosh.
As the two ladies were chatting, a wizened figure appeared like a specter in the bamboo pavilion. The Scarlet Flame Deity's expression was downcast as he stared at Luo Li and asked, ”Little girl, are you really unwilling to be the Holy Maiden of my Great Spirit Ancient Clan?”
Within this last month, the Scarlet Flame Deity had asked this same question numerous times, but was always refused by Luo Li, who would just shake her head. This time, Luo Li helplessly sighed and said apologetically, ”Elder, I am now the queen of the Luo God Clan, so how could I abandon them to become the Holy Maiden of the Great Spirit Ancient Clan? What's more, my lineage is not of the Great Spirit Ancient Clan.”
The Scarlet Flame Deity scratched his head and replied, ”The Great Spirit Ancient Clan is not like the other clans, who are stubborn and pedantic. We are the most tolerant, so we do not mind the difference between bloodlines. Even if one's blood lineage is weak, as long as one's talent and character are up to our standards, one can still be a Holy Maiden. None of us would reject such a thing.”
He then added, ”Throughout the history of our clan, there have been many amazing talents and well-recognized non-native Holy Maidens.”
At this point, even Luo Li was a little surprised to have come across such a tolerant clan for the first time. She could barely believe that this clan was willing to let a person without the unique bloodline become their queen!
”Luo Li, what this elder said is true. The Great Spirit Ancient Clan is indeed the most inclusive of the ancient clans in the Great Thousand World.” Ling Xi nodded, then immediately sighed. ”If only the Budur Ancient Clan could be as inclusive, Aunt Jing would not have been separated from Mu Chen for so many years.”
Luo Li nodded gently, but still did not promise anything. Now, she was no longer a girl who was innocent and unfamiliar with the world.
Hence, she knew that the larger the ancient clan was, the more factions it would have as well. Just their small Luo God Clan's meager amount of factions had already caused her plenty of headaches. So, if she really went to the Great Spirit Ancient Clan to become the Holy Maiden, even if this clan had a high tolerance and included her, there must be intense competition among the factions. This decision was obviously like jumping into a deep pool of water, and Luo Li did not plan to be embroiled into this kind of muddy water!
Seeing that Luo Li was still firmly sticking to her refusal, the Scarlet Flame Deity was somewhat gloomy and could only sigh. ”This is really a pity, as I originally thought that I could catch up with the Ancient Holy Gulf this time…”
”The Ancient Holy Gulf?” He had not yet finished, when Ling Xi suddenly exclaimed. She was clearly startled.
She then asked, ”Is that the notorious and perilous land of the Great Thousand World, one of the places where we had our decisive battles with the Extraterritorial Race in the ancient times?”
The Scarlet Flame Deity nodded and said, ”You, little girl, are knowledgeable! That's right!”
”Yes! As the Ancient Holy Gulf is in the middle of a space windstorm, there are no traces of it to be found. Only when it wants to emerge and be found will we then have a clue as to its present whereabouts. I didn't think that it would appear this time!” Ling Xi's beautiful eyes twinkled.
”The Ancient Holy Gulf? I have heard of it vaguely, but it is said that it is extremely dangerous. The environment is also said to be extremely cruel, where even a Complete Earthly Sovereign would fall if he was careless! Why, Sister Ling Xi, are you interested in this place?” Luo Li nodded, then asked in confusion.
”It is rumored that, in the great battle of the ancient times in our Great Thousand World, nearly ten Heavenly Sovereigns fell in the Ancient Holy Gulf. Among them, there were four Divine Heavenly Sovereigns,” Ling Xi said gravely.
In the Great Thousand World, even Heavenly Sovereigns were divided into ranks. These ranks were the spiritual, celestial, divine, and the Divine Heavenly Sovereigns. The Divine Heavenly Sovereigns were essentially the most powerful existences.
”Four Divine Heavenly Sovereigns?” Hearing this, even Luo Li's face changed.
After all, this was an absolutely terrible lineup! Once they fell, there would be incalculable losses for the whole world! Thus, it could be seen that, in the ancient times, in order to resist the evil Extraterritorial Race, the Great Thousand World had paid a heavy price.
”In that decisive battle, although we suffered terrible losses, so did the Extraterritorial Race. They also invested more than a dozen Demon Emperors, and in the end, there were Four Heaven Demon Emperors among the top 15 who had fallen,” the Scarlet Flame Deity quickly added.
The Heaven Demon Emperors were equivalent to the Great Thousand World's Heavenly Sovereigns. To be ranked among the top 15 proved that they were extremely formidable figures among the Extraterritorial Race.
