Chapter 2021

"Of course! I suffered for so long. All I could think about was revenge. I wasnt just muddling along!" Wudi rolled his eyes. As he slowly savored his jug of wine, he looked toward the heart of the celestial orderian territory in front of him and said, "It's a long story."

"Then start from the beginning," Tianming said.

"Stop interrupting, you son of a b.i.t.c.h!" Wudi glared at him. He was going to speak, but he wanted to create the right atmosphere first.

"More than ten thousand years ago, the ancestors of the celestial orderians found the Flameyellow Coffin. About five generations of sun emperors began studying it. As time pa.s.sed, they learned the truth about the Flameyellow Imperial Star, as well as the fact that the celestial orderians were descendants of the flameyellow divinities. When studying the Flameyellow Coffin, they came to the conclusion that only true flameyellow divinities can truly bring out the coffins full power, so the celestial orderians were completely hopeless."

"Only flameyellow divinities can control it?" Tianming continued to listen to him.

"Only when a beastmaster and totemancer combine and give birth to a dual cultivator will they have a flameyellow divinity. However, throughout millions of years, countless celestial orderians and beastmasters had combined, yet not a single flameyellow divinity was born, which meant they had no hope of controlling the Flameyellow Coffin and recreating the glory of the Flameyellow Imperial Star. You know how it feels to have a treasure in your hand but be unable to use it, dont you?"

"I do!" Tianming said. At that point, Tianming had his speculations. The sun emperor was probably unable to fully control the coffin, but that had changed when Li Wudi appeared.

"So they thought about it and finally looked to the Flameyellow Continent because of a picture in the coffin. It seems the chaos skyjail fell from the sun and was the core part of the Flameyellow Imperial Star. Then they had an idea: maybe they could succeed in the chaos skyjail," Wudi explained.

"The chaos skyjail originated from the Flameyellow Imperial Star? No way!" Tianming shook his head.

"How would I know? Thats what the picture shows. The sun emperor wouldve threatened you with the lives of those in Flameyellow if it werent for the fact that his ancestors considered the chaos skyjail the place of origin of the flameyellow divinities and the people there the most pure-blooded. He might respect the chaos skyjail even more than you," Wudi solemnly said.

"I see." It was the answer to Tianming's confusion. No wonder the sun emperor had failed to use that against him. There was no doubt that the chaos skyjail was a strange place. The Primordial Chaos Beasts, Tomb of the Ancients, Primordial G.o.d-Emperor, Primordial Demonlord, and the Grand-Orient Sword and Prime Tower had originated from there. How many more secrets it held was still unknown.

"What then?" Tianming asked.

"They switched to a different location and entered the chaos skyjail to try there. That happened about ten thousand years ago. Li Shenxiao, the ancestor of our Li Saint Clan, was born around that time," Wudi said.

"Wait! What about the Ca.n.a.l of the Dead? Howd they get in?" Tianming asked.

"They used the Flameyellow Coffin. Don't you know? The coffin can shuttle travel through the Ca.n.a.l of the Dead. That proves that the chaos skyjail is related to the Flameyellow Imperial Star. Even if it isnt the core of the Flameyellow Imperial Star, it must be a special part of it, Wudi said with conviction.

"The Flameyellow Coffin can enter the ca.n.a.l? Doesn't that mean we can go back to the Decimo Dao Nation?" Tianming asked.

"Yes, but only two can go at a time. The Sun Emperor took me out of there with the coffin and brought me to the sun," Wudi said.

"Hmmm." Tianming was still in a daze.

Guzzling another jar of wine, Wudi continued, "That was more than ten thousand years ago! The sun emperor of that period brought a close female friend, a beastmaster, into the chaos skyjail. The child was extracted from her womb while still a fetus. According to the secret method written in the Flameyellow Coffin, the child was conceived in the coffin and possessed the blood left by the most eminent nonabane emperor in all of the celestial orderians history, Li Shenxiao. A miracle happened in the chaos skyjail! A child that possessed both bane-rings and lifebound beasts was born and the emperor of the time was overjoyed!"

In the Divine Moon Realm, Huiye s.h.i.+ had told Tianming that the progenitor of the celestial orderians was a nonabane, which wasnt true at all. There were others before him, but he was the most notable one. Only now did they confirm that his name was really Li Shenxiao. So the red-haired sun emperor wasnt lying.

"The child, who was their hope of controlling the Flameyellow Coffin, had also combined with the blood of their ancestor. Thus, the celestial orderians hoped that he would create a new future for them. They also named him Li Shenxiao, same as the ancestor of our Li Saint Clan. Do you know what that means? Im not the sun emperors f.u.c.king clone. In terms of seniority, Im his great-great-great-great-great-grandson of G.o.d knows how many generations! After all, we multiply faster in the chaos skyjail. A generation is twenty years! Wudi mocked.

"That worked?" Tianming was dumbfounded. Who could have thought that the progenitor of the Li Saint Clan had such a complex origin? He had been conceived in the Flameyellow Coffin by a former Sun Emperor, then combined with the blood of the celestial orderians' ancestor!

"It worked, but something went wrong. You should be able to guess what happened," Wudi said.

"So he had both lifebound beasts and bane-rings, but his potential was also limited to the chaos skyjails standards?" Tianming asked. As he recalled, Li Shenxiao had managed to break through to five bane-rings after decades of persistence. Five bane-rings were nothing in the Divine Moon Realm, let alone the celestial orderians.

"It isnt just low. For the successor of the sun emperor, its trash. Most importantly, its recorded that the blood of a nonabane totemancer is required. There was only one drop of blood left by their nonabane ancestor, so they only had one chance at success. After Li Shenxiao, they were completely disappointed and resigned to their fate, so they left the child there to fend for himself while they observed. And that lasted for more than ten thousand years. Our ancestor died a long time ago, but the Li Saint Clan he fostered grew. At the height of our glory, our ancestors were all beastmasters with bane-rings, but they were far from being able to reach the prerequisite of having totems." Wudi pursed his lips.

"So they were shocked to see an octabane like you?" Tianming asked. At the time, Wudi's eight bane-rings had been sensational, but Qingyu's nine bane-rings were still hidden.

"Yes. They left some things in the chaos skyjail, so theres no way it could be hidden from the sun emperor. Thats why I was brought up here after just a few days of kicking back and became their hope of controlling the coffin," Wudi said.

"What then?"
