Chapter 247: 214: The Secret of Saint Descent_2
The scout was shocked, “Quick, quickly report to the Alliance Hierarch, the enemy is attacking, they are attacking!”
…
Meanwhile, in the Heavenly Realm.
Huangtian State.
Within a range of mountains, stone-stacked houses were scattered around.
It resembled a leisurely village.
In every house, young people were flipping through various ancient manuscripts.
“Ancestor, we found it…”
At that moment, a young man suddenly exclaimed, holding a few dust-covered old pages from the shelf!
He cried out!
Instantly, everyone gathered around.
“Really? You found the method to unlock the Primeval Stone Mandate?”
“Something that has eluded generations… has it finally been found?”
“This is great, quickly call for the Ancestor to come!”
Everyone was speaking at once!
A young man hurriedly dashed out to find Ji Yuanqing.
Before long, Ji Yuanqing rushed in, his clothes ragged, yet his excitement was palpable as he parted the crowd and said:
“Where is that thing?!”
At his words, the young man presented the old pages in his hands with both hands!
Ji Yuanqing took a deep breath and carefully picked them up, blowing off the dust on the pages.
The pages bore words that were faint and nearly faded away.
The characters were twisted and strange, seeming to contain some kind of law; the surrounding youths couldn’t understand them.
“Ancestor, is this what you’ve been looking for? Why can’t we understand it…”
“Yeah, the writing on this is so ancient…”
The young people all chimed in.
But excitement swelled in Ji Yuanqing’s old eyes!
“This is it! This is it! This is it!”
He repeated it three times, and at this moment, his old eyes even brimmed with tears!
“Since the First Heavenly Realm was destroyed, our clan’s heritage has been severed, leaving only bits and pieces of records, even the Primeval Stone Mandate could not be activated…”
“Before the last ancestor died, he spoke of a handwritten letter left by an ancient ancestor, within which was recorded a method to unlock the Primeval Stone Mandate. By unlocking the Primeval Stone Mandate, one could reveal all the truths buried in the sands of time…”
“Generations of Ji Family ancestors have searched tirelessly yet fruitlessly…”
“After rummaging through piles of old papers, now, at last, we have found the handwritten letter left by that ancient ancestor!”
Ji Yuanqing was so moved he was almost incoherent. Cradling the old pages in his hands, he stepped outside of the stone house and looked up to the heavens, tears streaming!
He remembered his own father.
When he was still very young, his father passed away. On his deathbed, gripping his hand, his father, filled with unwillingness, passed the Primeval Stone Mandate on to him!
“Yuanqing… the Ji Clan has a mission… a mission that must not be forgotten. You must unlock the Primeval Stone Mandate and uncover everything… You must!”
Now, he had finally found it.
“Father, ancestors… you can rest in peace now!”
Ji Yuanqing wiped away his tears and rushed into the secret chamber.
Inside the chamber, he carefully read through the content on those few pages.
——Only the head of each generation could gain the ability to decipher ancient characters. This was one of the Ji Family’s most closely guarded secrets.
After reading, Ji Yuanqing was even more impassioned!
His hands trembled as he suddenly made a fierce cut and opened up his left wrist!
Blood flowed out, and a grey, dusty Stone Command immediately rolled out.
This Stone Command, had been nurtured within his arm!
“By the blood of the Ji clan, one must inscribe the ancestral summoning talisman… only then can the Stone Command be awakened!”
He murmured to himself, then closed his eyes to concentrate, following the method in the letter, he channeled his Spiritual Power and drew a bizarre Blood Talisman.
The Blood Talisman glowed!
At that moment, the Stone Command trembled slightly!
A faint yellow light suddenly shot into Ji Yuanqing’s forehead!
At that instant, Ji Yuanqing was jolted!
His mind was flooded with endless information!
He saw an apocalyptic calamity!
Immortals were slaughtered like pigs and dogs, the laments of the Immortal King resounded everywhere, Immortal Kingdom after Immortal Kingdom was annihilated, and even beings surpassing the Immortal King were dying in bloodshed…
Some were fleeing. The terrifying Ancestral Ship, emanating a presence that surpassed the Immortal Path, carried crying creatures away from this world toward a Secret Place…
Many died in the exodus, their blood staining the Sky Domain red.
On one of the Ancestral Ships, a group of people bid farewell to their clansmen who chose to stay behind. Before leaving, they reluctantly exerted their Great Magical Power to leave a grain of sand in the endless expanse of the Void Sea Domain.
“Survive… safeguard…”
“We shall one day return to find this grain of sand…”
Distant voices echoed ethereally from the depths of time, millions of years past.
After enduring for millions of years, time finally calmed in the midst of chaos and bloodshed.
The surviving clanspeople, carrying that single grain of sand, emerged in the Void Sea Domain, a grain of sand that transformed into an immense world…
The First Heavenly Realm!
…
At this moment, Ji Yuanqing was profoundly shaken, his aged eyes filled with disbelief!
His elderly frame trembled!
“The First Heavenly Realm… left behind by our people who fled this world…”
“It is the signpost for their return…”
He murmured!
At this moment, he glimpsed ancient, profound secrets!
“I finally understand why the ancient texts refer to the ‘Immortal Great Calamity’ as ‘Saint Descent’…”
He murmured, each word deliberate:
“The fleeing people… they stand within the Saint Path… they shall return… hence, it is called the Saint Descent…”
“What kind of great calamity forced them to flee…”
At this moment, he felt his own powerlessness deeply!
He now, was merely a Golden Immortal!
Even though at this instant, he had clarified the mission of his people…
But what could he do?
“No, wait…”
At that moment, his expression suddenly changed, and he said:
“If the Heavenly Realm is re-establishing, could the Lord of the Heavenly Realm… be related to our clan? Did he unite the Heavenly Realm to guide our people?”
He was suddenly shocked and immediately took the Stone Command and left the secret chamber.
“Activate the Teleportation Array at once, I need to go to Xuan Tianzhou!”
…
Meanwhile.
The news of a formidable enemy invading the Void Sea Domain had already spread throughout the myriad states of the Heavenly Realm!
It caused a tremendous shock!
In Xuan Tianzhou, the Southern Territory!
Upon receiving the news, Fire Spirit and the others within the Xuantian Alliance were utterly astounded.
They immediately summoned all the alliance’s Celestial Generals!
“Both Alliance Hierarchs, based on our observations, the force approaching the Heavenly Realm this time numbers… over a million allied troops!”
The expression of the Yuanyang Holy Lord was extremely grave as he said:
“We must send someone immediately to investigate and ascertain their intentions!”
Fire Spirit’s countenance was somber as she agreed: “Granted!”
The interstellar warships of the Heavenly Realm were swiftly dispatched.
But then, news came immediately:
“The warships we sent out couldn’t even get close before being blasted to pieces; leading the enemy’s allied forces… appear to be six Immortal-class Warships!”
This message left everyone in the grand hall profoundly shaken!
Immortal-class Warships…
“Could it be… the allied forces of the Three Great Heavenly Realms?”
Dugu Chenlu murmured!
“It must be… The Immortal Domain couldn’t possibly have a force of over a million from the Lower World, and among the Lower Worlds, only the Three Great Heavenly Realms have such strength…”
“Alas, the name of the Heavenly Realm has eventually drawn the ire of the Three Great Heavenly Realms!”
“Six great Immortal-class Warships… This means that at least six Immortal Monarchs are personally leading the army here… We have no means to resist!”
All faces were heavy with concern.
The growth of the Xuantian Alliance had been incredibly swift.
Especially with the increasing density of Immortal Spirit Qi and the condensing of Immortal Path’s essence, in the Hall of Celestial Generals, more than a dozen Immortal Generals had already emerged!
Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning had even reached the Eighth Layer of the Daluo Golden Immortal, ranking among the strongest in the Immortal Generals.
However… even with such strength, they could not compare with the true Three Great Heavenly Realms!
A single Immortal could suffocate the Xuantian Alliance, let alone six Immortals…
“Report!”
At this time, a Taiyi Golden Immortal quickly approached and said:
“Ji Yuanqing of Huangtian State requests an audience with the two Alliance Hierarchs!”
At this news, everyone was puzzled.
What was Ji Yuanqing doing here at this time?
Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning exchanged a look. Ji Yuanqing was no simple character…
The opening of the legacy of the Immortal Dao Palace in the past Huangtian State had been related to Ji Yuanqing, this person seemed to have a very deep background…
“Let him in!”
Fire Spirit immediately ordered!
