The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 822
Chapter 822 Tomb of Xia Emperor (3)
Li Qing put away the Xia Emperor’s State Book, and after obtaining this item, he did not return empty-handed.
They continued to walk inside. Soon, they arrived at the next stone room. There were many artifacts placed here, not all of them treasures. There were also many ordinary items. They looked very ancient and faintly had a feeling that they were about to decay.
“Why are there so many ordinary items here?” Liu Ke’er asked curiously.
‘”If what I expected is correct, this place should be the burial objects of the Xia Emperor. There are many things that were used by the Xia Emperor before his death, not treasures, but they are of great significance to the Xia Emperor, so they were buried here.”
Li Qing walked among these artifacts. Apart from some ordinary things that were basically rotten, there were also many treasures that could be vaguely seen within them.
“There are still some treasures.” Xiao Bai casually took in an item. It was actually a bronze wine cup, and there was a special power remaining in it. It was obvious that it was a very powerful item a long time ago.
“Since these burial objects are of great significance to the Xia Emperor, we are not grave robbers. We should try our best not to take them away. Leave them here to accompany the Xia Emperor.” Li Qing said in a deep voice.
“What if it’s something very, very precious?” Xiao Bai asked.
“That depends on the specific situation. If it’s a Dao Artifact, then it’s enough to make me feel tempted to break this principle. I will definitely take it away.” Li Qing said.
At this moment, his remaining light noticed that there was a piece of paper not far from him. There were some words written on it, and he picked it up casually. The words on it were all over ten thousand jun in weight, and they were written by the Xia Emperor himself.
“After so many years without breaking, this paper should not be ordinary. It must be very important for the Xia Emperor to use such precious paper to write.” Li Qing said.
On this piece of paper, the first line was written in three big words: confession!
“In my lifetime, the world is called a sage. For this reason, I have painstakingly wasted my name and can’t sleep at night. I can be said to have a clear conscience towards the lives of all the Li people in the world. Only one thing, I feel guilty in my heart and have been unable to calm down for a long time.”
Li Qing had a faint premonition when he saw this first sentence. When he looked back, it was as he had expected. It was about Princess Mingyue and Crown Prince Shixuan falling in love.
According to the confession, the Xia Emperor was worthy of being called a sage in his entire life, and he was the only one guilty of this matter.
Back then, the Xia Emperor was the leader of the human race, and he was enemies with Demon Clan. The two sides were like fire and water.
The love affair between Princess Mingyue and Demon Clan was naturally absolutely incompatible, so she ruthlessly slapped the couple apart.
Not to mention, if this matter were to be spread out, it would have an extremely negative impact, damaging the image of its sages.
It was precisely because of this selfishness that the Xia Emperor completely sealed off this news. He would not allow the slightest bit of news to spread out, and the world would not be able to know about it.
It wasn’t until Princess Mingyue and Crown Prince Shixuan took the opportunity to elope that this matter gradually spread. Of course, it was limited to some high-ranking figures, so ordinary civilians naturally didn’t know much about it.
What happened afterwards was similar to what Li Qing had learned from Crown Prince Shixuan. The Xia Emperor found the place where the two of them lived in seclusion and captured them back.
However, there was a difference of opinion about the son of the two, the newborn Ancient God.
In Crown Prince Shixuan’s words, his son was personally banished by the Xia Emperor in the endless void, and his methods could be said to be ruthless and ruthless.
However, this is not the case in this confession. What is written on it is: “The son of Ming Yue is a half-demon bloodline. It is a forbidden bloodline of the heavens. I originally wanted to bring him back to the Xia Imperial Palace and place him under house arrest so that he would not come out to cause trouble in the world.”
“Who would have thought that a mysterious figure would secretly attack and take away half of the demon bloodline from the sky? The void is vast, and it’s too late to chase after him.”
Seeing this, Li Qing basically believed what the Xia Emperor said. Ancient God was not personally banished by the Xia Emperor, because there was no need for him to do so. Only when someone else took it from the sky would it be the most reasonable explanation.
As for why Crown Prince Shixuan said that, he must have seen wrongly. After all, the Xia Emperor was the closest to his son at that time and was suddenly sucked into the void. Who else could it be other than the Xia Emperor?
His eyesight was also not very good, so he naturally could not see clearly the fighting process between people at this level. Therefore, he had wronged the Xia Emperor just by relying on his own speculation.
As for who that mysterious figure was, if he was able to absorb the new Ancient God from the Xia Emperor’s hand, then he must be extremely proficient in the void.
The Xia Emperor’s strength was unparalleled in the world, but he was not omnipotent. He did not make much of a difference in the void. Being suddenly ambushed was normal.
“Who do you think that mysterious person is?” Liu Ke’er asked.
Li Qing said, “Apart from Lord Chang Sheng, who else is there? This fellow is indeed the mastermind behind the scenes. Princess Mingyue and Crown Prince Shixuan must have been in love because of him. He must have created a complete half-demon bloodline.”
“Only an old monster like Lord Chang Sheng, who has lived for countless years, can successfully seize Ancient God from the Xia Emperor.”
At the end of this confession, because Princess Mingyue was in love with Crown Prince Shixuan and had given birth to a child, many upper echelons had already learned that the Xia Emperor had ruthlessly suppressed both of them in order to show his impartiality.
After many years, when the Xia Emperor recalled this incident, his heart was filled with guilt. Back then, he had ruthlessly abandoned his family and made so many ruthless decisions in order to maintain the image of a sage. This was the only mistake in his life, causing him to be unable to calm down for a long time.
The reason why the Xia Emperor left behind this confession letter was originally because he wanted his subordinates to publish it after his death, so that the world could see his true colors.
Unfortunately, this thought could not be fulfilled, because his subordinates did not follow the instructions of the Xia Emperor. Instead, they buried the confession in the mausoleum, sealing it here forever.
It wasn’t until Li Qing’s arrival that he saw the light of day again.
Liu Ke’er said, “Should we fulfill the Xia Emperor’s wish to bring this confession out and make it public?”
Li Qing glared at her, “Are you so full that you have nothing to do? Why are you doing such a thankless thing? What’s the use of damaging the image of a sage?”
“I was just joking.” Liu Ke’er couldn’t help but cover her mouth and smile.
“Since so many years have passed, perhaps the world has forgotten about this matter. Why should we dig out that mysterious cloud? Let’s just make it disappear forever.” Li Qing used the Nanming Li Fire to burn the confession clean.
Passing through this tomb, the next one was still the tomb. There were also countless items inside, and the number of burial objects was inconceivably large.
However, Li Qing and the others did not take anything. Although there were some valuable items among them, Li Qing’s current horizons were long gone.
Even if he encountered a spirit artifact, it was not worth his attention. Only if a Dao Artifact appeared in front of him would he be allowed to make an exception.
As Xiao Bai walked, he said painfully, “So many valuable things, do you really want to give up?”
“If you want to take it, then take it. My thoughts won’t be imposed on others.” Li Qing said indifferently.
“If you say that, I won’t dare to take it anymore.” Xiao Bai rolled his eyes.
After walking through nine tomb chambers in a row, he finally reached the end of the tomb. Inside was a huge sarcophagus that was filled with a heavy aura.
The sarcophagus was still carved with images of mountains, rivers, countries, and hundreds of millions of Li people.
It was obvious that the sarcophagus was where the Xia Emperor was buried.
They hadn’t encountered any dangers along the way. It could be seen that the Xia Emperor hadn’t set up any defensive measures at all and didn’t want to increase the number of sins he killed.
But if you want to get close to the Xia Emperor’s coffin, It wouldn’t be that easy, because there were faint images of mountains, rivers, stars, and everything around the sarcophagus. Obviously, there was some sort of formation. The most likely one was the legendary Mountain River State Formation. It possessed unbelievable power. With Li Qing’s current strength, it was impossible for him to forcefully barge into the sarcophagus.
Moreover, Li Qing did not have any thoughts of forcefully barging into it. It was just a sarcophagus inside. There was nothing else, what was there to go in for?
Li Qing and the others stood outside the stone room and paid their respects to the Xia Emperor’s sarcophagus.
Although he knew that the Xia Emperor had done something wrong, compared to what he had done, it was not worth mentioning at all.
A man has done ninety-nine good things. You can’t deny his character because he has done a bad thing. The Xia Emperor was indeed a noble person, worthy of the name of a sage.
However, living like this was a bit too tiring. It was better to be as happy as Li Qing and kill whoever he wanted and live a carefree life.
“Let’s go. There’s nothing good to see here. Let’s not disturb the dead’s sleep.” Li Qing said.
“I didn’t expect things to go so smoothly. There are no mechanisms here, so I went through them easily,” Liu Ke’er said.
‘”This is also the kindness of the Xia Emperor’s mansion. Other than the formation around the sarcophagus, the rest of the mansion is unobstructed. If someone really is insatiable and wants to touch that sarcophagus, it would be too much. The end result would definitely be very miserable.” Li Qing said.
When he returned to the Xia Emperor Cauldron, Li Qing said, “I’ll try again!”
He walked to the side of the Xia Emperor Cauldron and placed his hand on the cauldron’s body, injecting his True Essence into it. Unexpectedly, the Spirit of the Cauldron actually accepted Li Qing for the first time, allowing him to refine the Xia Emperor Cauldron.
Li Qing couldn’t help but be stunned. He didn’t know what kind of situation this was. Why did the attitude of the Xia Emperor Cauldron change so much after walking around?
Could it be that it was because he had obtained the Xia Emperor’s State Book? Forget it, he could barely be considered the descendant of the Xia Emperor. Perhaps this was the only way to obtain the approval of the Xia Emperor Cauldron.
Very quickly, the Xia Emperor Cauldron was completely refined by Li Qing. He successfully recognized the owner of the cauldron and this cauldron became his personal treasure!
He had obtained another supreme divine artifact!
After being subdued by Li Qing, this Xia Emperor Cauldron gradually shrunk to the size of a wine cup. It looked small and exquisite, and its service was incomparably miraculous.
Xiao Bai jumped up and down and ran to Li Qing’s side. He wanted to pick up the tiny bronze cauldron out of curiosity, but he discovered that it was incomparably heavy and couldn’t be shaken in the slightest.
Although it had shrunk a lot on the surface, its weight was still the same as before. Other than Li Qing, no one else could move it.
“What a heavy Xia Emperor Cauldron! What kind of power does it have?” Xiao Bai said.
“The greatest function of the Xia Emperor Cauldron is to suppress! It has unparalleled power and can suppress all enemies!” Li Qing said slowly.
Ever since the Xia Emperor Cauldron recognized its owner, he had basically understood some of the characteristics of the Xia Emperor Cauldron.
“Apart from suppressing it, it can also defend one side. As long as Xia Emperor Cauldron exists, it will be protected by its power. It is almost impossible to destroy it. If a certain power obtains this Xia Emperor Cauldron and places it within the mountain gate, then even my Heavenly Saber Mountain and River Suppression will not be able to break through Xia Emperor Cauldron’s defense.”
“There is another ability, and that is to control a region of the world through this precious cauldron. This is also the ability left behind by the Nine Cauldrons of the Xia Emperor back then.”
“The moment the Nine Cauldrons of the Xia Emperor appeared, they were distributed throughout the nine continents of the Central Region. They were able to completely control the entire Central Region. They could freely move mountains and rivers, regulate spiritual energy, cast clouds and rain, and so on.” Li Qing said.
