The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 820
Chapter 820 Tomb of Xia Emperor (1)
When Li Qing saw this bronze fragment, he couldn’t help but be shocked and shouted, “How is this possible!”
“What’s wrong? What is this thing? It seems to have an extraordinary aura.” Liu Ke’er asked.
“This is a fragment of the Xia Emperor Cauldron!” Li Qing said.
“What? The fragment of the Xia Emperor Cauldron? Where did you get it?” Liu Ke’er said with a shocked expression.
“It’s on the Immortal Fate Gathering! After obtaining this fragment, it was unable to activate its power. It was kept in the interspatial ring. It didn’t pay much attention to it, but it didn’t expect that there would be a change in this place.” Li Qing said in a deep voice.
“What exactly does it mean for it to emit such a violent tremor and radiate such brilliance?”
“Rumor has it that the tomb of the Xia Emperor was banished by the Ancient God into the endless void. At this moment, the fragment of the Xia Emperor Cauldron sensed something. It is obvious that the tomb of the Xia Emperor is nearby!” Li Qing said.
“Brat, who is the Xia Emperor?” A shadow of Ancient Desolate Lord appeared.
“The Xia Emperor was a figure from the late ancient times to the early medieval times. He calmed down the chaos of darkness, continued human civilization, and established a unified dynasty. Afterwards, he suppressed Demon Clan and joined forces with the Profound Heaven Treasure to kill Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor and prevent Demon Clan from counterattacking. He had great contributions to the country and was respected by countless descendants. He was a sage-like figure.”
“Cut the crap and get to the point!” Said Ancient Desolate Lord impatiently.
“Alright, the Xia Emperor is a supreme expert of the Nine Tribulations of the Dao Realm.” Li Qing said.
“What? The Nine Tribulations of the Sovereign? Doesn’t that mean that he is even more powerful than me?” Ancient Desolate Lord couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
“Those who are stronger than Senior are actually only nine in history. Senior doesn’t need to be discouraged.” Li Qing smiled.
“There are nine more? You guys produced so many powerful characters afterwards?” Ancient Desolate Lord stayed in the spiritual sea all year round and didn’t ask about the world. He had only come out recently, so the news was naturally not very well-informed.
“Yes, there are nine supreme beings in total. The nearest supreme being, the Sword God, is still alive!”
“What? You still have the Nine Tribulations of the Dao Realm alive? Are you kidding me?”
“Not only is the Sword God still alive, but the Heavenly Demon Connecting Ape has also appeared. After that, it was trapped by the Sword God using the Void Sword Realm and is currently attacking with all its might.”
‘”…” Ancient Desolate Lord had nothing to say.
“The Heavenspan Devil Ape is still alive? That Ancient Heavenly Yao can live for such a long time? Didn’t you say that it was suppressed by Daoist Patriarch Wuji long ago?”
Li Qing recounted some of the major events that had happened recently.
Ancient Desolate Lord said, “In that case, was the palm technique you used in the Origin World also created by a supreme expert?”
Li Qing nodded, “That’s right, it’s called the Extreme Emperor Splitting Heaven Palm. It’s a divine ability created by the second generation of the medieval Human Emperor, the Extreme Emperor.”
“Alright. Back then, I fought Primordial Great Emperor to death, but I didn’t expect so many powerful figures to appear in the future. Now, it seems that our battles are somewhat ridiculous.”
“By the way, how many years does your Sword God have left?” Ancient Desolate Lord asked.
“I don’t think I’ll be able to live much longer. The 10,000-year deadline is approaching. I’m afraid there will be some turbulence at that time.” Li Qing said.
“Well, if I have time, I might be able to pay him a visit. I haven’t seen such a person in such a long time, let alone the legendary Heavenly Devil Ape.” Said Ancient Desolate Lord.
Although he was much older than the Sword God, he had unconsciously placed himself in a weak position when facing people from the Nine Tribulations of the Dao Realm.
“Since the Xia Emperor is the supreme being of the Nine Tribulations of the Dao Realm, his mausoleum has fallen into this place. If he encounters it, he will definitely go and see it.” Said Ancient Desolate Lord.
“According to the instructions on the fragment of the Xia Emperor Cauldron, the Xia Emperor’s mausoleum is not too far away. It should be found soon.” Li Qing said.
Following the call, the Ancient Desolate Warship followed along the path. Not long after, it saw an incomparably large pile of dirt in the starry sky.
It was said to be a pile of dirt, but in fact, it was even taller than a mountain, emitting a faint inviolable sacred concept.
Clearly, this pile of dirt was the tomb of the first generation of the Middle Ages, the Xia Emperor!
Ancient Desolate Lord said, “I’m afraid it’s impossible for this Primordial Warship of mine to enter. You can only enter by yourself. Be careful. The tomb of the Nine Tribulations Sovereign is not that easy to enter.”
Li Qing nodded, “I will do my best. If I really can’t enter, then I won’t force myself to leave. Don’t disturb the rest of the Xia Emperor’s old man.”
A moment later, Li Qing brought Liu Ke’er and Xiao Bai and the three flew towards this huge pile of dirt.
Just as they approached, they felt a heavy pressure, as if the Heaven and Earth Country was suppressing them. It was the power of millions of people, weighing more than ten thousand jun, and no one could resist it.
“What a terrifying pressure! There must be a supreme dao artifact in this mausoleum! It’s very likely that it’s the Xia Emperor Cauldron!” Li Qing said in a deep voice.
“Didn’t the Xia Emperor Cauldron already be shattered by the Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor?” Liu Ke’er asked.
“The Xia Emperor will definitely try to repair the Xia Emperor Cauldron in the future. Perhaps one of them will be successfully repaired and put into the mausoleum.” Li Qing said.
“Now that the pressure is so great, how should we enter?”
“Let me try.” Li Qing held the fragment of the Xia Emperor Cauldron in his hand, and it immediately emitted a faint green light that actually dissipated this power.
“It really works!”
The three of them quickly arrived in front of the mausoleum. They saw an incomparably large door. It was tightly closed. The door was carved with mountains, rivers, forests, flowers, insects, fish, birds, and beasts. It represented the country of the world, hundreds of millions of living beings!
Li Qing walked forward and stretched out his hand, wanting to push open the door, but in the end, he did not move at all.
Immediately afterwards, he used the light emitted by the fragment of the Xia Emperor Cauldron to shine on the door, but there was still no change. Obviously, this method would not work.
“I can’t open it!” He frowned slightly.
“The mausoleum was originally the Xia Emperor’s resting place. It’s normal that it can’t be opened. If it can’t be opened, then there’s no need to force it. In front of the Xia Emperor, I feel a bit afraid.” Liu Ke’er said.
“Ah, what a pity. I encountered the tomb of the Xia Emperor, but I couldn’t open it. There might be a Xia Emperor Cauldron inside, so I can only look at the door and sigh.” Li Qing said.
Speaking of which, if he had to barge in forcefully, Li Qing might be able to cut open the gate with his Heavenly Saber.
However, he did not do so. On the one hand, if he used his Heavenly Saber to cut open the door, he would inevitably show disrespect to the Xia Emperor. On the other hand, the danger of doing so was too great. There was no way he could trigger some kind of mechanism that would destroy him to ashes.
The Xia Emperor’s mausoleum would definitely have all sorts of defensive measures in place and would definitely not be easily desecrated.
Li Qing did not force himself and quickly gave up on the idea of entering. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, a golden light suddenly flew out of his interspatial ring, releasing a resplendent light.
“Eh? What’s going on?” Liu Ke’er asked curiously.
“This is the Human Emperor Seal, the legendary jade seal!” Li Qing said in a deep voice.
“Why is this thing in your hands?” Liu Ke’er said in disbelief. She felt that Li Qing always had countless strange items on him. Every once in a while, he would bring out a shocking Paragon item.
“I got this from the Graveyard of the Corpse God. I haven’t told you about it. It’s normal that I don’t know.”
As he spoke, the Human Emperor Seal landed on the door. The golden light shone brightly on the mausoleum. Immediately after, a series of cracking sounds could be heard from the door. This ancient door, which had been sealed in dust for an unknown period of time, slowly opened.
“Let’s go, let’s go in and take a look!” Li Qing was delighted.
The first thing he saw when he entered was a large hall. There was nothing inside, but the stone walls on both sides were filled with all sorts of characters.
After a careful look, the words inside were mostly about the life of the Xia Emperor. Apart from some ordinary trivial matters, most of them were the great achievements he had made, such as quelling the chaos in the darkness, establishing a new unified dynasty, killing the Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor, pushing the power of humanity to its peak, and so on.
It could be seen that the handwriting of these words were basically different. Clearly, they were not created by one person, but were carved by countless people and placed in this mausoleum.
Apart from these great achievements, there were also many words of praise for the Xia Emperor, such as:
His skill was unparalleled, and he was able to suppress demons with one hand.
Heroic and heroic, the number one emperor of the ages!
“These stone inscriptions came from the hands of everyone in the world, not from the Xia Emperor boasting. They were sent into this mausoleum before he died. The credibility of these stone inscriptions must be quite high. The Xia Emperor is indeed a sage-like figure.” Li Qing said.
Liu Ke’er said, “Doesn’t that mean that Crown Prince Shixuan lied? He wronged the Xia Emperor?”
Li Qing smiled and said, “This is not absolute! What the Xia Emperor showed to the world is a sage-like figure without any flaws. However, what the actual situation is, this is not something that can be seen from the surface.”
“However, since the Xia Emperor has been able to display such a noble and pure character for a long time, I believe that his true character, even if not as praised by the world, will not be as bad as Crown Prince Shixuan said.”
It wasn’t difficult to pretend to be a sage, and he could endure for several years or even decades without being seen through.
However, the Xia Emperor was a supreme expert. He had lived for nearly 10,000 years. For such a long time, it would be impossible for a sage to pretend to be a sage.
If he really was a sage who had pretended to be a sage for nearly ten thousand years, then what was the difference between him and a true sage?
Li Qing and the others stayed in this hall for a long time. They carefully read the Xia Emperor’s life story together and watched with interest. They had a clearer understanding of what had happened in the early years of the Middle Ages.
