"It is not only the palace of the ancient Emperor Xuanyou, but also contains the inheritance of the ancient Emperor Xuanyou. Only those who have prepared the emperor's Qi are qualified to understand it, but so far, the royal family of all generations have not been able to obtain it."
While everyone was staring at the Ancient Emperor Star, Princess Anhai's voice echoed. She had been introducing the Imperial Capital to Xu Qing and others along the way.
"As for this huge statue of the Ancient Emperor sitting on the Ancient Emperor Star, I have seen descriptions in some ancient royal books. Originally, it did not exist."
"After the ancient emperor left, during the period of Emperor Jingyun, he suddenly arrived from outside the sky and landed here. Along with him came a decree, a decree from the Holy Land."
"As for the content, there is no record in ancient books and few people know about it."
"The entire Ancient Emperor Star is both an ancestral land and a forbidden land for our human race. Only during special periods can we experience it outside."
Following Princess Anhai's words, Xu Qing and his party gradually learned more about the imperial capital. But when others listened carefully, the captain looked at the ancient emperor star with longing hidden deep in his eyes.
Regret arose in my heart.
"I vaguely remember that I died several lives just to get in here... but I didn't succeed."
The captain was dissatisfied, then his eyes fell into the abyss of nothingness, and he sighed again.
"I haven't succeeded in getting in there either."
While the captain was sighing with emotion, Princess Anhai's introduction words were still echoing.
Zixuan's expression became even more complicated. Finally, she looked at the Ancient Emperor Star, with memories in her eyes. She remembered that this star was her home in her previous life.
As for Ning Yan, although he doesn't know as much about the Ancient Emperor Star as Princess An Hai, he has been here since he was a child and is used to it, so he is nodding his head at the moment.
Next to him, Wu Jianwu looked excited. He felt that his breakthrough in poetry was most likely here, and his mind was even imagining that there must be authentic poems left in the palace of the ancient emperor in the ancient emperor star.
As for Xu Qing, his attention was not entirely focused on the Ancient Emperor Star.
His eyes followed the void between the two rings of earth, looking towards the abyss below the Imperial Capital Territory.
Princess Anhai said before that the abyss is rumored to lead to an unknown place called Huangtian. Others don't know what Huangtian is, but after experiencing the incident in the Moon Sacrifice Domain, Xu Qing has some understanding of Huangtian.
It was the hometown of Chi Mu and Li Zihua, and it was a taboo suppressed by Wangu Continent.
While Xu Qing was thinking, some words in Princess Anhai's introduction fell into his ears, causing some waves and interrupting his meditation.
"In addition, all the Tianhou Heavenly Kings and Great Emperors who died in the ancient emperor's time have left their inheritance in this star. Before the ancient emperor Xuanyou left, the human race Tianhou Heavenly Kings who went to the Holy Land with him also all have their own inheritance in this ancient emperor's star.
Inside, leave a legacy.”
"The last person who left behind the legacy is the Sword-bearing Emperor."
"His old man is the last great emperor of the human race. His body died in the battle to protect the human race, and his avatar remains in the imperial capital area."
"As for the inheritance left by the sword-wielding emperor, it is his emperor's sword, which is buried deep in the ancient emperor star and has remained silent for countless years..."
Xu Qing raised his head and stared at the Ancient Emperor Star.
The four words "Sword-holding Emperor" have far-reaching meanings to him.
Coming here to pay homage to the sword-wielding emperor was also one of the purposes of Xu Qing's trip, so he suddenly spoke.
"Your Highness An Hai, is the clone of the sword-wielding emperor in this ancient emperor star, or..."
Xu Qing looked at Princess Anhai.
This was the first time he spoke after arriving in the imperial capital area, and Princess Anhai immediately took it seriously.
"The statue of the clone of the Emperor Holding the Sword is not within the Ancient Emperor Star. This was the old man's choice during his lifetime. He chose to place his clone outside the Ancient Emperor Star as the last line of defense for the human race and the ancestral land."
"We will teleport a few more times and we will see it when we approach the inner ring imperial capital."
Xu Qing nodded and everyone continued to move forward.
As time passed, Xu Qing and his party traveled smoothly in the Imperial Capital area due to the presence of Princess Anhai. After three teleportations, in the early morning of the next day, they finally saw the Imperial Capital of the Ancient Emperor Star.
Xu Qing also saw it...the sword-wielding emperor!
The entire inner ring is the imperial capital. At the edge of the circular land, towering black towers and vast statues stand intertwined with each other.
They circled the Ancient Emperor Star and formed a circle.
The statues inside have different shapes, but each has its own momentum, and they are all of the human race. There are men and women, old and young, with different expressions. All seven emotions and six desires can be felt on different statues.
"The black tower is an integral part of the imperial capital's formation, and the statues surrounding the imperial capital, except for the sword-wielding emperor, were built by later generations. They are all the saints who have fallen and left with the ancient emperor since the time of the human race.
There are emperors throughout the ages."
"It contains the oldest one hundred and eight Heavenly Gods, as well as the former thirty-three kings, and nine human emperors."
"However, as the fate of the human race declined, during the period of the Dongsheng Human Emperor in later generations, although there were twenty-seven heavenly kings who were qualified to stand here, after the Xuantian Incident, the fate of the human race was set in the west. During the Shengtian Human Emperor period, there were only five
The Heavenly Kings are qualified, and there was an outbreak during the Jingyun Human Emperor period, but only six of them appeared."
"As for the era of human emperors in the Dao world, there was no one except human emperors. The same is true for Xuan Zhan Li now."
Princess Anhai sighed softly. Kong Xianglong, who had been silent all the way, couldn't help but speak after hearing this.
"What kind of cultivation does this qualification mean?"
"dominate."
"In the ancient emperor's period, only the rulers could be classified as heavenly rulers. The so-called heavenly rulers were the princes of heaven who could control a region."
"Only those who dominate the pinnacle can be honored as the Heavenly King. The Heavenly King can control many areas or one area, depending on his will. The king's orders are only under the emperor and the emperor."
Speaking of this, Princess Anhai glanced at Xu Qing.
"Senior Li Zihua, the former master of the Moon Sacrifice Territory, was one of the Heavenly Kings under the ancient emperor. His statue is also here."
"What about the Great Emperor?" Xu Qing said slowly.
"In the time of the Ancient Emperor Xuanyou, there were occasional great emperors among all races, but the number was very small. Only our human race enjoyed ancient luck, and nine great emperors appeared. Their cultivation surpassed that of their masters, and they were called... quasi-immortals.
"
"After the era of the ancient emperors, to this day, no great emperor has appeared among all races."
"Quasi Immortal..." Xu Qing murmured, looking deeply towards the inner ring of the imperial capital ahead.
He saw the statues one after another, and also saw a shocking statue in front of him that was different from the other statues.
This statue is of a middle-aged man. At first glance, he looks elegant. But if you look closely, you can see that there is severity and domineering in his eyes. It seems that when he is angry, the earth will collapse in front of him and the sky will burn in his eyes.
.
Even gods, it seems, can be killed in his eyes.
With his hands behind his back, the sword energy behind him was overwhelming, and his whole body was emitting white light. It was extremely bright and lifelike, as if his true body was standing there, shocking all directions.
He is the last great emperor of the human race, and the only sword-wielding emperor who did not follow the ancient emperor Xuanyou and stayed behind with the human race, and died fighting for the human race.
Staring at the statue of the Great Emperor, Xu Qing took a deep breath, bowed his head slightly to show respect, and then asked Princess Anhai a question that he had not known the answer to for a long time.
"Ancient Emperor Xuanyou, what kind of cultivation is he?"
As soon as Xu Qing spoke, everyone around him listened, and the captain also looked curious. Only Zixuan kept looking at the Ancient Emperor Star.
An Hai was silent for a while, then spoke softly.
"The cultivation of Ancient Emperor Xuanyou is a mystery, but there is a record of the Ancient Emperor in the records of the royal family."
"At the end of the Rebellion Period, the emperor came from the south and set foot on Yingzhou. The earth was undulating, and the heavens came to congratulate him. He was called a quasi-immortal. For the next three thousand years, the human race was in power, and thousands of tribes came to worship him. The emperor bowed his head and respected him as a Xia Immortal."
"Xia Xian!" Xu Qing's eyes narrowed, and Zi Xuan on the side suddenly spoke.
"He is the last Wanggu of all races for countless years... Xia Xian."
Zixuan's words made everyone look sideways. Princess Anhai was also surprised and looked at Zixuan.
Zixuan closed his eyes and stopped talking.
Everyone was silent.
Xu Qing had noticed the reminiscence in Zi Xuan's expression very early. He did not continue to inquire at this moment and walked towards the imperial capital ahead.
As the group of people approached, the statue of the sword-wielding emperor in front became clearer and clearer.
The black towers separated among the statues were also shining with faint light. Layers of invisible formations and restrictions spread out from each black tower, connected together, and enveloped the entire inner ring of the imperial capital.
At the same time, a series of spiritual thoughts and a series of gazes spread out from multiple areas and forces in the inner ring of the imperial capital, locking on Xu Qing's group from outside.
In the eyes of these spiritual thoughts, some are wary, some contain complexity, some are full of curiosity, some are hostile, and some are scrutinizing...
Xu Qing, although he has never been to the Imperial Capital, his name has long been spread throughout the Imperial Capital.
The Lord of the Great Domain, with many Yun Gods behind him, and the head of the Black Sky Clan’s priests, participated in killing the gods, and King Tianlan fell because of it...
All of this made it difficult for the dignitaries and princes and princesses in the imperial capital not to pay attention to it. Therefore, from the moment Xu Qing set foot on the teleportation, information about him and his past had already been studied in detail.
Until today, he came.
In front of the inner ring of the imperial capital, above the void, the footsteps of Xu Qing and his party gradually stopped.
Standing there, Xu Qing looked at the Imperial Capital in front of him. He could feel the terrifying power emanating from the Imperial Capital's formation, containing endless coercion and a sense of exploration.
As long as you walk into the formation, all the secrets in your body, even the things in your storage bag, will be revealed in this formation.
Normally, this kind of behavior cannot be so strict unless it is a special period. After all, there are many people coming and going in the imperial capital, and there are many people who have secrets.
Xu Qing frowned and looked at An Hai.
Princess Anhai frowned, took out a jade slip, and spoke with a somewhat ugly look on her face.
"A few days ago, a foreign enemy suddenly appeared, triggering the Imperial Capital's formation, causing the formation to be activated from its daily state to an exploration state..."
"This is someone using the principles of the formation, in a way that no one can find flaws, to use the formation in the Imperial Capital to explore us. It's interesting. The people in the Imperial Capital are indeed like monkeys, and their methods are insidious.
"
The captain swayed, walked to Xu Qing's side, smiled and spoke.
