The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 340
Chapter 340 Ancient God’s Tower (26)
“Aren’t you surprised by the origin of the ancient god?” The old man couldn’t help but ask.
“Because I already guessed it.” Li Qing said. In fact, when he was looking at the murals, he had already vaguely guessed that the ancient god might be a semi-demon, and that it had something to do with the Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor.
He had once asked Yin Qianyu if a demonic beast could transform into a human form. After receiving her reply, he was even more certain of his conjecture. However, he was unable to confirm it.
Now that he heard the old man’s words, Li Qing had completely confirmed the conjecture in his heart. Ancient Gods Clan was actually a half-demon race, a descendant of a combination of humans and demonic beasts.
The combination of humans and demonic beasts could actually give birth to descendants. This kind of thing was indeed extremely strange, and ordinary people could not believe it. However, the miraculous nature of heaven and earth made everything possible.
This half-demon race was blessed with both human intelligence and the lifespan of demonic beasts. They had gathered two great advantages. Perhaps it was because they were so heaven-defying that even the heavens couldn’t see through them, that they had completely disappeared.
“Then what does this have to do with you being imprisoned in the Ancient God Pagoda? Since you are the father of the Ancient God, he has no reason to imprison you.” Li Qing asked.
The old man said, “Then it has to be said that the woman I met and loved back then was my wife. Her identity and origins.”
“What is her background?” Li Qing was curious. He couldn’t help but recall the patterns on the wall, with the stories of “Ancient Gods Saving Mother” and “Ancient Gods Saving Father” on them.
The mother of the ancient god was suppressed at the foot of the Tai Shi Mountain and died at the end of her lifespan. The Ancient God’s father was suppressed under the Demon Suppressing Pagoda and rescued by the Ancient God.
The old man said, “My wife, her name is Princess Mingyue.”
“Princess?” Li Qing was a little surprised. This old man was the Monster Crown Prince, and now another princess had appeared. Could it be…
“Mingyue is the Xia Emperor’s daughter.”
Li Qing was shocked. This news was the most shocking to him when he chatted with the old man until now. The Xia Emperor’s daughter was actually the old man’s wife?
The Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor and the Xia Emperor were sworn enemies, yet their sons and daughters actually fell in love with each other? This was simply inconceivable.
“Doesn’t that mean that the ancient god is the descendant of the two emperors? This bloodline is simply too heaven-defying!” Li Qing took a deep breath.
“That’s right, the dual bloodline of the Xia Emperor and the Demon Emperor! Back then, when my son was born, the heavens descended, the heavenly dogs devoured the sun, and the day turned into night. Dark clouds covered the sky, and golden lightning shone. All of this foreshadowed that my son would definitely be extraordinary in the future.”
Li Qing couldn’t help but ask, “At that time, the power of the demon race increased greatly, and there were signs of a resurgence. The conflict with the human race was growing, and they were in a hostile state. As the crown prince of the demon race, how could you marry the daughter of the Xia Emperor?”
“Actually, we already know each other’s identities. Under normal circumstances, it is absolutely impossible to get married. Even if ordinary humans and demons want to combine, it will be as difficult as ascending the heavens, let alone our special identities. But … “The old man’s eyes revealed a trace of warmth.” In order to be together, I abandoned the position of the Monster Crown Prince, and Ming Yue gave up her identity as a princess. We eloped and went to a secret place, hiding our names and living happily together. That was the happiest time of my life. ”
“It is truly admirable that you are able to accomplish this step.” Li Qing was very respectful.
The old man said, “It would be great if this kind of life could last forever. Unfortunately…”
“What a pity?”
“It’s a pity that the Xia Emperor finally found it. The peaceful life was broken.” The old man’s expression suddenly became ferocious and he gritted his teeth. “The Xia Emperor, this hypocrite, doesn’t agree with us being together. He actually banished my son to the depths of the endless void!”
“What? Exiled to the depths of the void? Isn’t that very dangerous!” Li Qing cried out. A child drifting in the dark and cold void was basically impossible to survive.
He suddenly remembered that mural. The ancient god banished the Xia Emperor’s tomb into the depths of the endless void. So it was to avenge him.
“Fortunately, my son has a great fortune. After drifting in the void for a long time, he actually entered the legendary secret realm of the Heavenly Lake. Instead, he obtained a great opportunity.”
All sorts of secret realms would be born between heaven and earth, and their locations were uncertain. These secret realms were large and small, and there were even magical places that were as large as a region.
In the secret realm, because very few people had ever been there, they were usually unexplored places. There were many opportunities, and the spiritual energy was very dense. There were often astonishing treasures hidden within.
There was a rumor that there was a Heavenly Lake in the Heavenly Lake Secret Realm, hence its name.
“Why did the Xia Emperor banish the ancient god?” Li Qing was puzzled. You should know that the ancient god was only a child at that time, right? Even if the heavens descended on him, and his talent was extraordinary, there was no threat at all.
“He is to protect his face as a human emperor! You should know that the demons and humans were at odds at that time. The Xia Emperor’s daughter actually married the Demon Crown Prince and even gave birth to a child. What do you think the world would think of the Xia Emperor as the leader of the human race? Therefore, in order to conceal this secret, he actually banished me and Ming Yue’s son! ”
“What happened afterwards?”
“Later, this despicable and shameless little man, the Xia Emperor, actually captured me into the Mysterious Heaven Mountain and set a peerless trap to lure my father to save me. You must have heard of what happened. My father died in this great battle, right?”
That’s why! This was the reason for the Battle of the Profound Heavens.
At that time, Li Qing also felt that it was strange why the Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor had barged into the Mysterious Heaven Mountain alone and was surrounded by nine human experts. So it was actually to save his son!
No matter how powerful an expert was, it was impossible for them to fight against the nine great human experts, especially one of them, the Xia Emperor, and one of the Profound Heaven’s treasures.
The Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor could not be so stupid, it could only be because of some special reason.
The strength of the Xia Emperor was not inferior to that of the Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor. Although the Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor was stronger, killing the Xia Emperor would not be easy.
In addition, there was also a Profound Heaven treasure. Within the Profound Heaven Mountain, this treasure could be said to be invincible. It was equivalent to the strength of a second supreme expert!
With such a terrifying lineup, even if the Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor’s divine might was unparalleled in the world, he probably wouldn’t be able to escape from such a trap.
Unless Daoist Patriarch Wuji is reincarnated!
Unfortunately, the Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor was not Daoist Patriarch Wuji. After all, there was only one Daoist Patriarch Wuji since ancient times. Compared to it, the Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor seemed to be a bit inferior.
“After my father died, I was suppressed by the Xia Emperor under the Demon Suppressing Tower. My wife pleaded for mercy for me, but the Xia Emperor actually suppressed her at the foot of the Taishi Mountain! This heartless and ruthless person didn’t even let go of his own daughter. He simply wasn’t worthy of being a father!”
Li Qing was also a little surprised. He didn’t expect that the Xia Emperor would personally suppress his own daughter! If that was the case, he would be a bit ruthless.
No wonder there were very few records of this matter in history. This matter really damaged the positive image of the Xia Emperor.
After all, the Xia Emperor was the ancestor of mankind, and he had made great contributions to the survival of mankind. Putting aside the matter of him getting rid of the Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor, just saying that he personally ended the dark turmoil in the last years of ancient times and returned the world to peace, this could already be said to be a sage that humans could not blaspheme.
Therefore, it was not surprising that these things would not be recorded in the historical records. Any information that damaged the image of the Xia Emperor would be destroyed.
However, these were only the words of the old man in front of him. The truth of the matter still needed to be investigated carefully, and one could not doubt the character of the Xia Emperor because of this. After all, the old man had a grudge against the Xia Emperor. The truth of what he said was hard to say.
The old man continued, “After successfully cultivating for my son, I was rescued. However, I was suppressed under the Demon Suppressing Pagoda all year round, and my body has been greatly damaged. That’s why I have to stay in the Ancient God Pagoda to rest. Tens of thousands of years have passed since I recovered. Sigh…”
“That’s why!” Li Qing couldn’t help but sigh. Since then, he had no doubts about the old man’s identity. Being able to talk to a demonic beast from tens of thousands of years ago was a strange thing. It felt like space and time were in a mess.
“After so many years, I have forgotten a lot of things. However, I will definitely remember this secret and tell it to the public. I hope it will be passed on to the rest of the world.” The old man said with a ferocious expression, “I want the world to know the true face of the Xia Emperor!”
Seeing the engraved hatred on his face, Li Qing couldn’t help but shiver. This fellow had lived for so many years, shouldn’t his mind be distorted and abnormal?
Li Qing could always remember that the old man in front of him was a demonic beast. He was not as harmless as he appeared to be.
The old man quickly recovered and smiled kindly, “The hatred in my heart has been suppressed for too long. I almost lost my composure. Please forgive me, little friend.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
The old man said, “I’ve been chatting with my little friend for so long this time, and you promised to help me find the stone my father turned into. In order to express my gratitude, I have something for you.”
“Oh? What is it?” Li Qing asked.
“Little friend, please follow me.” With that, the old man got up and walked into the room.
Li Qing also followed.
The thatched cottage was not big and was very deep. It was dark inside. Li Qing discovered that he could not see the situation clearly with his eyes.
“It’s so dark inside!”
At first, he didn’t care much, but he walked closer. When he reached the door, he still couldn’t see the situation clearly. This made him feel that something was wrong.
“Something’s wrong, something’s wrong! It feels too strange!” Li Qing couldn’t help but stop. He immediately used his divine sense to scan, but it was still dark inside, and he couldn’t see anything clearly.
It can’t be? He couldn’t even detect his divine sense? He instantly felt his hair stand on end!
There was danger inside!

Chapter 341 Ancient God’s Tower (27)
“Little friend, what are you still waiting for? Come in quickly.” The old man’s voice came from inside.
“I’d better stand outside and wait for you to take out your things.” Li Qing said carefully. He didn’t dare to take any risks and would rather believe in his own feelings.
“It’s not convenient to take this out. You can come in directly. What are you afraid of? Do you think I will harm you?” The old man’s voice turned cold, as if he was a little angry.
“No, I think it’s better to stand outside.” The more this happened, the more strange Li Qing felt. He won’t go in no matter what.
On the contrary, he wanted to retreat.
However, before he could retreat, a huge suction force suddenly came from the room.
“Not good!” Li Qing’s expression changed. He immediately exerted his strength and almost stopped his body.
Boom!
Something shocking happened to Li Qing. The cottage in front of him, the small courtyard and the bamboo forest in the surroundings shattered like a mirror. It turned into a desolate flat ground, surrounded by dense fog.
It turned out that everything was just an illusion! What a brilliant illusion! Li Qing possessed divine sense, but he didn’t notice it at all!
As the illusion broke through, the scene changed drastically. What appeared in front of Li Qing was a huge cave entrance. It was pitch black inside, and there was an aura that caused one’s heart to palpitate.
There were three ancient characters written on the entrance of the cave. These were Ancient Gods Clan’s characters. Li Qing immediately recognized them: Demon Cave!
“This cottage is a demonic cave! Damn, I was tricked!” Li Qing immediately wanted to retreat, but the attraction inside the Demon Cave was simply too strong. He pulled him straight into the cave.
“Primordial Emperor Secret Technique, activate!” Li Qing’s strength soared, and he used all of his strength to resist the powerful suction force in the Demon Cave.
The two sides wrestled, forming a tug-of-war.
Hu! Hu! Hu!
A dark wind blew out from the Demon Cave. There were actually thousands of demon souls drilled out of the Demon Cave. Their faces were ferocious and terrifying, and they were even mixed with demon souls!
Countless demon souls and demon souls were entangled together. They were inextricably linked, forming a mass of black matter that looked disgusting.
“What the hell!” Li Qing’s expression changed drastically.
These demonic souls let out ear-piercing laughter and pounced towards Li Qing as if they saw delicious food.
“Perfect body, I’m coming!”
They actually wanted to seize Li Qing’s body!
Although there were tens of thousands of demonic souls and demonic souls here, they were all entangled together. It was as if they had merged into a whole, and one of them was leading the way.
The situation was extremely critical. Li Qing didn’t dare to hesitate. He immediately took out the Yin Yang two-gas bottle and saw it rise in the wind. The Purple Firmament Divine Lightning inside leaked out.
“Boom!”
The terrifying lightning illuminated the Demon Cave, dispelling all evil.
The Purple Firmament Divine Lightning was originally extremely powerful, not to mention it was also the bane of this kind of demonic soul and demonic soul. It was as if the snow had melted and countless souls had been wiped out when it landed on the entangled black substance.
In the end, something shocking happened to Li Qing. A gust of dark wind blew out from the Demon Cave, and black gas gathered on the black substance that was entangled by countless souls. The shattered souls actually merged again.
“Undying? What kind of monster is this?” Li Qing cried out.
“Kakaka, you can’t kill us! Even the Xia Emperor can’t kill us!” These monsters were shouting as they continued to charge towards Li Qing.
This was an evil substance. It seemed inappropriate to call them demon souls. In short, it was an extremely terrifying monster. They wanted to devour Li Qing! It was violently rioting, revealing its ferocious fangs.
“Void annihilation!”
Li Qing took out his Heavenly Saber and chopped out a crack in the void. He chopped into the Demon Cave. With a loud boom, a terrifying explosion occurred inside.
“Squeak–”
A shrill cry came from inside, piercing straight into his soul, causing him to feel extremely uncomfortable.
The effect of this saber strike was very remarkable. Li Qing instantly felt that the suction force inside was empty. He immediately seized this opportunity and flashed before fleeing.
Those demonic souls rushed out, but in the end, they only rushed out for a short distance before they were unable to get out. A golden light barrier appeared, restricting this evil substance to a certain range.
Li Qing stood in the distance, staring at the thousands of monsters condensed from the souls above him, he couldn’t help but break out in cold sweat.
He didn’t even know if what the old man had just said was true or not. Was that old man also an illusion? Was it specifically to trick him into entering the Demon Cave?
“Roar–”
Above the black evil substance, countless souls were howling and waving their claws at Li Qing, their faces ferocious.
Countless souls were rolling and squeezing. Not long after, the old man’s face appeared inside. He said to Li Qing, “Little friend, what I said just now is the truth. I hope that you can fulfill your promise and help me find the stone my father turned into!”
“Sure!” Li Qing nodded. Looks like this old man is the real Crown Prince Shi Xuan! However, it was fused with this evil substance.
“The stone my father turned is in the Northern Plains! Ah–” After saying this, the old man’s soul was drowned by countless demonic souls and devilish souls.
Li Qing watched as the old man was drowned by countless demon souls and couldn’t help but sigh. This was also a sad person. No, to be exact, this was a sad demonic beast, a demonic beast that did not hate humans.
Even though he couldn’t help but frown, “The stone formed by the Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor is in the Northern Plains! How can I find such a large place?”
The north of the Northern Domain was the Northern Plains! Isn’t this too far away?
There were more than five regions in this world! Outside the Five Regions, there was even more space!
The east of the Eastern Region was the East Sea, the south of the Southern Region was the Southern Barbarians, the west of the Western Region was the Western Desert, and the north of the Northern Region was the Northern Plains.
There were rumors that the world outside the Five Regions was even wider than the Five Regions! This was because since ancient times, countless experts had been exploring beyond the heavens and the earth, but none of them had reached the end.
However, although the world outside the Five Regions was extremely vast, it was not suitable for humans to live in. The further they went, the more desolate the place became. There were even places where even demonic beasts would find it difficult to survive, and the environment was extremely harsh.
It could be said that the lands of the Five Regions were the essence of this world, while the outside world belonged to the barbarians. As a result, for countless years, no power had expanded beyond the five domains. At most, there were only some experts who explored.
The stone formed by the Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor actually flew into the Northern Plains! That place was truly too vast. Finding a small rock was like finding a needle in a haystack. How could one find it?
“Do your best!” Li Qing sighed.
He could sense that what the old man had said earlier should not be false. However, it was only because of the countless demon souls that his mind was affected.
“Why did the Ancient God’s father become like this?” Li Qing felt that it was very strange. Logically speaking, the ancient god rescued his father from the Demon Suppressing Pagoda. He should be fine, right? Why did he become such a monster?
“Could it be because of the Demon Suppressing Tower?” Li Qing guessed.
The Demon Suppressing Tower was built by the Xia Emperor to suppress the chaos in the darkness. Rumor has it that there is something extremely terrifying inside the Demon Suppressing Tower that even the Xia Emperor cannot destroy.
“What kind of secret is hidden in the dark turmoil of the last years of ancient times?” Li Qing pondered deeply.
“Forget it, what are you thinking so much about?” He shook his head and left.
The surroundings were filled with a dense fog, unable to be seen clearly and unable to even be detected with his divine sense. Li Qing casually chose a direction, shook off the fog, and set off.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, a huge stone tablet appeared in front of Li Qing.
Walk closer and take a look.
“Eh, the words on this stone stele … aren’t they the runes carved on the walls of the Ancient God Palace?” Li Qing was stunned. Previously, in the Ancient God Hall, he could understand the meaning represented by many murals, but he couldn’t understand what those runes were. He thought that they were related to formations.
There were a total of ninety-nine runes on the stone tablet. Each one of them seemed to have great mysteries, as if it represented some sort of law between heaven and earth.
For some reason, when Li Qing looked at these stone steles, he naturally came to some insights, as if he understood the meaning represented by these runes.
The stone stele was manifesting the mysteries of these runes, allowing people to easily understand them.
“After comprehending this stone tablet, you can understand the meaning represented by the runes!” Li Qing quickly understood.
He immediately sat down and began to comprehend.
After a long time, Li Qing understood all the runes on the stone tablet clearly.
It turned out that these symbols were “True Ancient God Symbols” created by the Ancient God himself. Each of these symbols had a special function and contained deep-seated power of Laws.
For example, if there was a rune that represented “power,” then inscribing this rune on the weapon would increase the power of the weapon.
If there was a rune that represented “sturdiness”, then engraving it on the wall would make the building even more indestructible. This was also the reason why there were so many ancient god runes engraved in the Ancient God Palace.
Not only were these runes engraved on the artifacts, they could also be engraved on the flesh, creating a perfect and invincible body of an ancient god.
In Ancient Gods Clan, many experts would use these ancient god runes to construct the ancient god body. Moreover, each construction method would have a different effect, because there were a total of 99 runes. Choosing to remember a few runes, and how they were arranged, would affect the effect of the Ancient God Body.
“It has to be said that this ancient god text is truly unique. It possesses magical power and is very widely used.” Li Qing’s face revealed a trace of joy. “These runes were created by ancient gods, representing his highest achievement, equivalent to a peerless technique.”
