Chapter 5923: Find Out Soon

Others might think that these stories were nonsense or mere legends, especially those in the mortal world. As for cultivators, they would never come here, let alone listen to these rambling mortals.

Chu Zhu, on the other hand, thought about the calamity after hearing mentions of the flood.

What are your ancestors names? She couldnt help but ask.

The older villagers exchanged glances and couldnt answer.

We dont know outside of Elder Songhao. The village chief answered honestly: He was the oldest among our ancestors, an immortal capable of refining pills that can turn a chicken into a phoenix.

Using the fire insect, right? Chu Zhu asked while other cultivators would have snorted.

According to the legends, yes. The village chief said: The insect can spill out immortal pills.

They didnt know the cultivation world and used the word immortal excessively. Of course, in their eyes, a cultivator living ten thousand years or so was immortal.

Then where are they now? Chu Zhu asked.

The final story spoke of the sea monsters from the flood. Our ancestors sacrificed themselves to save this world, so theyre not around anymore. The village chief answered.

Theres more to it. Another old man said: What happened was the last survivor, Elder Songhao, brought all of the descendants to this place to save them. He succ.u.mbed to injuries later.

Thats why we only remember Elder Songhaos name, everyone else died in battle. An old woman agreed.

Chu Zhu didnt think they were fabricating stories to elevate their ancestors prestige. There seemed to be a hint of truth behind this.

Li Qiye didnt respond and raised their shrine.

Wait, stop! The village chief became anxious: This is an ancestral item left behind by Elder Songhao, it is our heirloom pa.s.sed down from generation to generation, dont touch it.

It didnt seem to be worth much but it held immense sentimental value to them.

Do you know what it is? Li Qiye stared at him.

The village chief couldnt help but stare at the oldest villager who shook his head afterward.

How can this be the heirloom when you dont know what it is? Li Qiye said.

Because it is the only thing left behind by the ancestor, we cherish it to honor him. The village chief said.

Do you want to know what it is? Li Qiye smiled.

The village chief looked around again but none knew what to do outside of staring at Li Qiye. There was nothing wrong with wors.h.i.+pping the final item of their ancestor. Of course, they also wanted to know what it was.

You know? The village chief asked with skepticism.

Well find out soon. Li Qiye smiled and left the house with it.

Everyone became startled and the men immediately chased after him with their spears ready. They had no choice but to attack him if he were to flee with their heirloom.

However, Li Qiye brought it to the center of the village and twisted it with both hands.

Crack! The shrine rotated as if it had gears.

The villagers watched in astonishment as if turned and s.h.i.+fted, the components arranged themselves with repet.i.tive clicks and clacks. Even now, Chu Zhu still didnt know the purpose of this transforming shrine.

Li Qiye casually tossed it on the ground and it began to grow taller and taller.

Whats going on?! The mortals had never witnessed such a miraculous phenomenon in this barren land before.

The men gripped their spear tightly while slowly retreating, still gazing at the unknown item. Everyone else ran back to their house, only peeking out to watch the transformation.

A treasure indeed Chu Zhu murmured.

The shrine eventually engulfed the stone mound at the center, looking like an unbreakable prison.

Ah, a hidden ace card after all. Li Qiye smiled and patted the wall of the palace.

Dao laws emerged in resonation, releasing waves of power capable of crus.h.i.+ng heaven and earth.

Mortals couldnt resist and were pinned to the ground, unable to move.

How formidable! Chu Zhu found this shocking.

The palace started spreading into a majestic pa.s.s with figures standing above. Two particularly stood out - two supreme beauties.

One was clad in gleaming armor, looking like a venerable G.o.d standing above all despite her pet.i.te figure. Her sword radiated Buddhist light, capable of summoning a kingdom to bring peace and slay evil.

She is Chu Zhu immediately thought about a legend, not expecting to see this figure with her own eyes.
