Chapter 298 Hei Ming, Nan Tian, ??Yun Xiao, Dong Huang!
The Fengyun Crane flew very high, almost through the clouds and out of the sky!
The endless sea of snow-white clouds is already under your feet at this moment!
Today, Li Tianming is sitting on the Fengyun Divine Crane, facing the strong wind and turbulent currents, but remains unmoved and stable on the Fengyun Divine Crane.
This Fengyun Shenhe is the darling of this sea of clouds. If there wasn't someone on its back, it would probably fly up and down.
"Grandpa Huangfu, can you ask Fengyun Shenhe to slow down so that we can reach Shengtian Mansion on the last day?" Ye Shaoqing asked.
Huangfu Fengyun is his grandfather.
"Shaoqing, do you want the young sect master to look down at the people from the sky and understand the meaning of being the king of thousands of swords?" Huangfu Fengyun asked with a smile.
"Yes, there are also rules about realm battles, the participating parties, etc. I haven't explained them in detail to Tianming yet." Ye Shaoqing said.
"No problem, then let's travel around the mountains and have fun for four days." Huangfu Fengyun said.
Everyone laughed.
Li Tianming looked at the vast sea of clouds in front of him and felt that the world was endless and majestic. In addition to the Eastern Emperor Realm, he didn't know how many other territories there were, which was beyond his imagination.
Just imagine the size of the eternal purgatory phoenix, and you will know how vast the real world is.
"Have you read all the information I gave you before?" Ye Shaoqing asked sitting in front of him.
"I have seen them all. In addition to the seven Holy Emperors of Shengtian Mansion, there are also three other sect disciples who participated in the war. I understand them all." Li Tianming said.
He basically has a photographic memory and has a clear understanding of the opponent's strength, record, and possible trump cards.
There used to be numerous large and small sects in the Eastern Emperor Realm, but in recent years, most of them have been annexed by Shengtian Mansion and transformed into Tianfu and Yanhuang Academy.
In the current Donghuang Realm, the real major sects have formed a pattern in which Shengtian Mansion is the first class and the other four major sects are ranked second class.
Instead of five sects being side by side. Even if the four major sects don't recognize it, Shengtian Mansion is already transcendent.
Shengtian Mansion is the only super sect in the Eastern Emperor Realm. After replacing the Eastern Emperor Sect thousands of years ago, it has flourished and is now unprecedentedly powerful.
As for the four major sects, they are basically all old sects from the Eastern Emperor Realm. They have all prospered and declined, ups and downs, and have basically maintained the level of the major sects for thousands of years.
Judging from the rankings of the last ‘Battle of Sects in the East Emperor Realm’, Shengtian Mansion deserves to be first, while Donghuang Sect ranks fifth.
The sect that is now ranked second has been entrenched in a place called the "Black Ming Cave" in the west of the Eastern Emperor Realm ten thousand years ago, and its name is the "Black Ming Sect".
Within ten thousand years, before Shengtian Mansion emerged, Black Ming Sect was the main opponent of Donghuang Sect. Over the years, the two sides had many battles, and Donghuang Sect was basically the winner.
Unexpectedly, the Black Ming Sect is still a stable inheritance, but the Donghuang Sect has fallen to fifth place due to the decline of the Li Saint Clan.
Today's Donghuang Sect, not only can't stand up to Shengtian Mansion, I'm afraid even the Black Ming Sect can't compare.
"The Black Underworld Sect had a war with Shengtian Mansion ten years ago, but it was defeated by Shengtian Mansion, and now it is a lackey of Shengtian Mansion." Ye Shaoqing said scornfully.
"Master, the information you gave me said that Nantian Sect, which ranks third, has a good relationship with Donghuang Sect?" Li Tianming asked.
Nantian Sect is located on Nantian Island in the southwest of Donghuang Realm. That place is closer to Suzaku Kingdom than Donghuang Sect is to Suzaku Kingdom.
"Yes, it has always been good. In recent years, the Donghuang Sect has declined, and they have not lacked support. If we hadn't still had an alliance with them, we might have been oppressed by Shengtian Mansion." Ye Shaoqing said.
"Is it related to the origin of the ancestors?" Li Tianming asked.
"Yes, the person who founded Nantian Sect is 'Weisheng Yuyin', the wife of Li Shenxiao, the first ancestor of your Li clan."
"It is said that they separated due to personality differences and each looked for a way out. One founded the Donghuang Sect and the other founded the Nantian Sect."
"Although they are separated, they have always been friends."
"Although the direct lineage of the Nantian Sect has not suffered any minor calamities over the years, they are actually very close to the bloodline of your Li Saint Clan, and they can be regarded as having the same ancestor."
"At that time, the first ancestor had a son and a daughter, and the one he took away was the daughter who had no life-threatening calamity."
Li Tianming didn't expect that there was such a relationship.
No wonder the Donghuang Sect has maintained good relations even after its decline. It turns out they share the same ancestor.
"The surname Wei Sheng is very rare. Is it a surname from the Eastern Emperor Realm?" Li Tianming asked.
"No, it is said that Wei Sheng Yuyin was a person the first ancestor met in the 'Ancient Kingdom of Gods' and followed him to the Eastern Emperor Realm."
Li Tianming thought that only the most awesome people could become legends. Even the origin of his wife would be known to future generations thousands of years later.
"What kind of place is the ancient Kingdom of God?"
Talking about this place again, Li Tianming was quite curious.
"You are from the Zhuque Kingdom. Does the Zhuque Kingdom have any counties or cities?" Ye Shaoqing asked.
"Yes, Lihuo City, where I was born, belongs to the 'Nanhuo County'. It is one of the dozen counties and cities in the Suzaku Kingdom." Li Tianming said.
"In comparison, Donghuang Realm is a county in the ancient Kingdom of God. The Holy Emperor of Shengtian Mansion is now the 'prefecture' of Donghuang Realm."
"..."
Li Tianming was stunned.
He always thought that the ancient kingdom of gods was a secret realm.
Unexpectedly, the Eastern Emperor Realm was actually a part of the Ancient Kingdom of Gods!
There are many sects in Donghuang Sect, and there are many strong men. No matter how you look at it, they all look different from a county town.
"Actually, there is no need to make an analogy. The ancient divine kingdom and the small country in your hometown are not the same concept."
"This is an ancient dynasty. It is said to be the kingdom of gods that gave birth to gods. It is not too strange to rule a place like the Eastern Emperor Realm."
"The history of this ancient dynasty is much longer than the history of the Donghuang Sect. The Donghuang Sect has only been in charge of the Eastern Emperor Realm for thousands of years under the orders of the ancient Kingdom of God."
Ye Shaoqing explained.
"That's it." Li Tianming nodded.
"You don't need to pay too much attention to the problems of the Ancient Kingdom of God. Only when you reach the holy realm in the future will you have the opportunity to go to the Ancient Kingdom of God."
"For the ancient dynasty of the Ancient Divine Kingdom, the Eastern Emperor Realm is a place far away from the emperor. They basically don't care about it, and they actually don't pay much attention to the sect war in the Eastern Emperor Realm."
"They only supervise the competition for the Donghuang Sword once every ten years at most."
"Moreover, they say it's supervision, but they never show up."
Ye Shaoqing said.
"In the realm battle, will there be people from the ancient kingdom of gods present?" Li Tianming asked curiously.
"Maybe. Rumor has it that people from the ancient Kingdom of God come every time, but no one seems to have seen them or received them."
"However, sending people to supervise the Realm War is an oracle from the ancient Kingdom of Gods. Even if they don't really come, it will be enough to intimidate the Eastern Emperor Realm, so that all sects will not dare to mess up in the Realm War."
Ye Shaoqing said.
"I understand, Master, can you tell me more about the Donghuang Sword and Taiyi Tower?" Li Tianming asked.
"It is said that these two divine objects were created by the gods. When the first ancestor was struggling in the ancient kingdom of gods, the ancient emperor at that time gave him the heaven-defying objects to guard the Eastern Emperor Realm."
"The Eastern Emperor Sword is known as the Emperor's Sword, and the Taiyi Tower is known as the Tower of Immortality."
"In the entire history of the Eastern Emperor Realm, no one except the first ancestor has been able to display its true divine power."
"After the first ancestor passed away, Taiyi Pagoda allowed him to use the power of the sky pattern to fix it on the holy mountain and become the holy place for cultivation of the Donghuang Sect."
"Unless there is a force that can slaughter the Donghuang Sect and occupy the Donghuang Mountains, no one can take it away."
"As for the Donghuang Sword, it has been passed down from generation to generation by the head of the Donghuang Sect. However, more than a thousand years ago, the strength of the Li Saint Clan declined, and the Donghuang Sword was snatched away by the Black Ming Sect."
"After that, Shengtian Mansion rose up and took the Donghuang Sword from the Black Underworld Sect."
"The Eastern Emperor Sword is a sacred object given to the first ancestor by the ancient emperor. In fact, it is not suitable for others to take it away. It is said that when Shengtian Mansion captured the Eastern Emperor Sword, people from the ancient divine kingdom arrived."
"They found that the Li Saint Clan had declined and was unable to control the Eastern Emperor Realm, so they came up with a way."
"This method is a realm battle."
"The Realm War is held every ten years."
"The youngest generation of top disciples from the five major sects will engage in a competition of geniuses. Whoever can win the Donghuang Sword will belong to which sect the Donghuang Sword will belong to in the next ten years. Elders and strong men have no right to interfere."
"The divine power and intimidation of the ancient Kingdom of God is the only reason why the Realm War can continue."
"If it weren't for the fear of the ancient kingdom of gods, Shengtian Mansion would never have taken out the Donghuang Sword, let alone young children like you take it away."
Ye Shaoqing's words finally relieved Li Tianming's biggest doubt.
That is, if Shengtian Mansion holds such a divine object, why should it hold a realm battle so that these young disciples have the opportunity to take it away?
The answer is out.
This is the oracle of the ancient Kingdom of God!
Even though the people from the ancient Kingdom of God may not really arrive, the sects in the Eastern Emperor Realm, led by the Shengtian Mansion, still follow the holy edict and carry out the battle in the realm step by step.
Li Tianming and others are the top disciples of the youngest generation.
"One realm battle allows the sect to hold the Donghuang Sword for ten years. Ten years later, the sect holding the Donghuang Sword will hold a realm battle."
"Don't underestimate the fact that holding the Donghuang Sword can not only increase one's personal combat power, but also the sacred decree of the ancient kingdom of God has brought new meaning to the Donghuang Sword!"
"That is, if any sect can hold the Donghuang Sword for fifty consecutive years, then this sect will become the leader of the Donghuang Realm!"
"In fifty years, even five consecutive generations of disciples can win the Donghuang Sword in the realm battle!"
"At the beginning, Shengtian Mansion relied on the victory of the five realm battles to officially take over the banner of the leader of the East Emperor Realm from the East Emperor Sect, and he was personally appointed by the Ancient Kingdom of God."
"With the strength of the five generations of disciples, they can control the entire Donghuang Realm, and it is justifiable."
"Over the past thousand years, although the Donghuang Sword has occasionally been taken away by the Black Ming Sect, Nantian Sect and Yunxiao Sword Sect, it can basically only be kept for ten years. It will definitely return to the hands of Shengtian Mansion next time."
"And our Donghuang Sect, the day we lost the Donghuang Sword, we never regained it."
This is a very embarrassing and frustrating thing.
Not only has it never been recaptured, but every generation of Taiyi disciples has been seriously cared for.
Not only did they fail miserably, they even left a shadow in their lives, and their subsequent cultivation careers were in ruins.
Ye Shaoqing sighed, patted Li Tianming's shoulder gently and said:
"Life is like this. When you are brilliant, thousands of people admire you. When you are disappointed, you are humiliated. We, the descendants, have completely disappointed the ancestors of the Li Holy Clan."
"So you should know that the battle in the realm is not just a battle for the Donghuang Sword, but also a battle for face and dignity!"
"And we, the Donghuang Sect, have been humiliated, lost our dignity, and ridiculed like a lost dog for thousands of years..."
Every ten years, a thousand years, there have been a hundred generations of Taiyi disciples.
With the intention of regaining their dignity, they set foot on the battlefield of the Realm War, but they all suffered humiliation and left with no dignity.
Until now, the battle in the realm has become a nightmare for Taiyi disciples.
Li Tianming finally understood why Zhao Lingzhou was so depressed.
He can better understand that Yuwen Taiji wants Yuwen Shendu to compete for the power of Donghuang Sword.
But now, the face and dignity of the Donghuang Sect and the Li Holy Clan, as well as the expectations of the ancestors of thousands of generations, all fall on him.
Those expectant eyes, those eyes full of fighting spirit, the desire to regain dignity, and the heart to stand up in the battle of realms are all his responsibility!
Huangfu Fengyun and the others spoke lightly, as if they didn't take back the Donghuang Sword, the impact would not be big.
But Li Tianming felt it.
As a descendant of the Li Holy Clan, he couldn't calm down for a long time after hearing that hundreds of generations of disciples of the Donghuang Sect were ridiculed, humiliated, and crawled away from Shengtian Mansion.
"You can die as a human being, but you cannot live without dignity."
He took a deep breath and his eyes became much firmer again.
He looked in the direction of Shengtian Mansion.
This time, not only to defeat Yue Linglong, he also wants to be here to pick up all the dignity that hundreds of generations of Taiyi disciples have lost.
Shengtian Mansion, Black Ming Sect, Nantian Sect, Yunxiao Sword Sect, Donghuang Sect!
The top disciples of the five major sects compete for the Donghuang Sword!
Who can have the last laugh?
At least, no one thought it would be the Donghuang Sect.
