Chapter 829: Chapter 829: Is This the Heavenly Venerable’s Scheme? A Piece of Historical Background
“Don’t panic, the Sect Leader should help us out of danger,” Mo Ying grasped the Divine Sword, showing no sign of dismay.
“Mm!”
Jia Yulan and Yan Ruyu stood on either side of Mo Ying, pressing close to her, their faces serious.
“Was it you who killed my clanspeople?”
The pure gold Barbarian Heavenly Emperor bellowed angrily, releasing intense power fluctuations. He was a rare, top-tier Heavenly Emperor!
This scene naturally shocked Mo Ying and the others.
Rip!
Just then, the void was torn apart.
A young figure emerged from it, not looking particularly strong, but the sense of power emanating from his being was formidable.
It was Qiao Jiaxi.
At this moment, Qiao Jiaxi’s “Ancient God Body Refining Technique” operated automatically, releasing a pure power aura.
Standing there, he exuded the weighty presence of a mountain.
“Qiao Junior Brother, how did you get here?”
Yan Ruyu quickly took hold of Qiao Jiaxi’s arm, pulling him to her side, her face grave, “These are people from the Ancient Barbarian Tribe, they consume only meat, are hot-tempered, and quite frightening.”
Thud!
At that moment, an incredible scene occurred.
“Your Majesty!”
Upon seeing Qiao Jiaxi, the Barbarian Heavenly Emperor stared fixedly at him, then as if a subject before his emperor, promptly knelt on one knee, touching his forehead to the ground.
Mo Ying, Yan Ruyu, and Jia Yulan were gobsmacked.
Qiao Jiaxi was also thoroughly perplexed.
“The Ancient Giant God Clan are the royalty of the Body Cultivation, by inheriting my mantle, you’ve acquired the aura of the royalty of the Body Cultivation, making you the emperor of all Body Cultivation in this world.”
“But, don’t reveal your identity as my inheritor just yet.”
“Speak of this to no one but your Sect Leader.”
The voice of the Ancient Holy God rang out in Qiao Jiaxi’s ears, reiterating several times.
“So it is, the disciple understands!”
Qiao Jiaxi was thrilled, looking at the Barbarian Heavenly Emperor and others, his face unable to hide his excitement as he waved his hand and said,
“Rise!”
“Yes, Your Majesty,” the Barbarian Heavenly Emperor and the others promptly stood up, their eyes filled with excitement while looking at Qiao Jiaxi.
“How could this be?”
Once again, Mo Ying and the others were bewildered.
Could it be that Qiao Jiaxi was not an orphan but a prince of the Ancient Barbarian Tribe?
They couldn’t help but theorize.
“Three Senior Sisters, this is a secret and not convenient to disclose just yet, but I can say with responsibility that the Ancient Barbarian Tribe won’t harm us,”
Qiao Jiaxi spoke.
“Really?” Jia Yulan was skeptical.
“It’s true.”
Ye Feng’s voice sounded around them.
“Sect Leader?”
Everyone’s bodies trembled and they hurriedly looked in the direction of the voice.
They saw Ye Feng standing calmly in mid-air, unusually releasing his Power Domain, his Saint Might vast and imposing.
“Body Cultivation Saint!”
The Barbarian Heavenly Emperor and others knelt on the ground again, this time bowing their heads in continuous kowtows, their devotion extreme.
“Sect Leader, what brings you here?”
“Just checking out this ancient tribe.”
Ye Feng looked towards the Barbarian Heavenly Emperor, activating his Eye of Insight.
[Name: Great Strength]
[Title: Barbarian Great Strength Heavenly Emperor]
[Grade: Body Cultivating Top-level Heavenly Emperor]
[Remarks: From one of the ancient races of the universe, many years ago, a mysterious individual sealed the surviving Ancient Barbarian Tribe underground in Shenzhou, hidden from the light of day]
Seeing this, Ye Feng was surprised.
Ancient universe race?
But, there was no ranking for the “Ancient Barbarian Tribe” on the Power Stele at all!
Let alone others, just the Barbarian Heavenly Emperor alone was a top-tier emperor level, and he should at least be ranked within the top million.
But in reality, the Power God Ranking has no record of him!
And the entire Ancient Barbarian Tribe was also absent from the list.
By this deduction, could it be that there are many hidden races not recorded on the Power Stele?
Ye Feng pondered many things.
“Ye Feng, the ancient races have a long history, probably involving a great secret, and even I don’t know much about the ins and outs. Whoever is behind this is very strong; if you want to know something, you can come to me.”
The voice of the Ancient Holy God transmitted to him.
Ye Feng frowned and transmitted back through the air, “Is this matter so mysterious? Could it be one of the Nine Great Heavenly Venerables’ arrangements?”
Among all under the heavens, only those nine supremely powerful Heavenly Venerables could remain obscured even from the Ancient Holy God.
“It’s possible.”
The Ancient Holy God indicated agreement.
“Shenzhou is a brand new Great Thousand World, defying common sense, and underneath, there are ancient universe races sealed from time immemorial, possibly related to the Nine Great Heavenly Venerables.”
The Ancient Holy God added.
Hearing this, Ye Feng nodded, looked at Qiao Jiaxi and the others, and said, “You continue your training.”
With that, Ye Feng departed through the Broken Void.
“Farewell, Body Cultivation Saint!”
The people of the Ancient Barbarian Tribe bowed repeatedly in the direction where Ye Feng disappeared, their eyes filled with excitement.
The Ancient Barbarian Tribe reveres strength.
In their eyes, any practitioner of Body Cultivation who had achieved the status of a Saint was a great and respectable existence.
“Sister, what are you doing here?”
It wasn’t until this moment that Jia Xi finally had a chance to ask.
“We’re here to pick ancient medicine,” Yan Ruyu said, taking out a thousand-year-old medicinal herb that emitted a rich fragrance.
When the people like the Barbarian Heavenly Emperor saw these ancient medicines, they instantly showed a look of disdain and took a few steps back.
To the Ancient Barbarian Tribe, medicinal herbs were as undesirable as dung, something to be avoided at all costs. Only fragrant, delicious meat was their favorite.
“Jia Xi, how did you come to be here?” Mo Ying asked.
“I’m here for training to enhance my Cultivation Level,” Jia Xi walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down at the great canyon below. “I have a feeling that this place will definitely cause my cultivation to erupt.”
“Then we’ll continue picking herbs,” Mo Ying said.
Without the disturbance of the Ancient Barbarian Tribe, with their cultivation, they would be more than capable of roaming the Wild Desolate Great Canyon and finding ancient medicines quickly.
Whoosh!
The three women tore through the void and once again dived into the lush forest within the great canyon, searching for ancient medicinal herbs more than a thousand years old.
“Sister, take care!” Jia Xi waved.
“My Emperor, would you like some meat?” At this moment, the Barbarian Heavenly Emperor kneeled down on one knee and asked Jia Xi.
“Yes, I love eating meat, especially the kind that is filled with rich vitality,” Jia Xi licked his lips.
“We also love eating meat!” The ancient barbarians around him nodded fervently, as if they had just heard the most pleasant words in the world.
There was a saying among the Ancient Barbarian Tribe:
As long as you also like eating meat, we can be friends!
“Next, let’s go to the City of Barbarians to eat meat!” The Barbarian Heavenly Emperor walked to the edge of the cliff, ready to jump down.
“Ah!” Jia Xi roared, his body covered in a golden glow as his aura instantly broke through more than tenfold, and he rose into the air.
“Our Emperor has taken flight!”
“Hiss!”
This scene terrified the surrounding ancient barbarians.
“How can a body cultivator possibly fly?”
The Barbarian Heavenly Emperor was dumbfounded on the spot. Even though he himself was a Body Cultivation Heavenly Emperor with vast and ocean-like vitality, he still could not fly in mid-air.
“Why can’t body cultivators fly?” Jia Xi scratched his head, finding the question rather odd.
“No, they can’t!” the Barbarian Heavenly Emperor shook his head repeatedly. “As body cultivators, it’s impossible for us to fly in our lifetime, unless one pursues the path of Dual Cultivation of Magic and Body.”
“Flying is so simple, using your aura, as long as you break through ten times the aura, you can fly,” Jia Xi explained seriously.
“My Emperor, is it really true?” The Barbarian Heavenly Emperor asked incredulously.
“I can teach you,” Jia Xi said.
“Please enlighten us, Your Majesty!” The surrounding ancient barbarians all knelt down, performing a gesture of discipleship.
“First, you must concentrate your aura…”
Jia Xi began to explain.
The ancient barbarians present were all at least body cultivators at the Void Break Realm with solid foundations, naturally suited for cultivation. Their inability to fly was merely due to a lack of guidance.
But with Jia Xi’s instruction, the problem was not significant.
Half a quarter of an hour later.
The surrounding ancient barbarians roared, their bodies bursting with hot golden light, and they finally rose into the air.
“I’m flying, I’m finally flying!”
“So it turns out we body cultivators can fly, too.”
“Long live our Emperor!”
Smack!
The Barbarian Heavenly Emperor slapped the old ancestor who shouted “Long live our Emperor” and scolded loudly, “Fool, our Emperor has the demeanor of a Saint and an undying lifespan. Aren’t you cursing him to death?”
Seeing this, Jia Xi’s mouth twitched.
He scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed.
He walked over to the cliff edge and looked down at the Wild Desolate Great Canyon.
Below the canyon.
Long-haired elephant meat, sliced into round pieces, was roasting over a campfire, its savory fragrance detectable from a great distance.
“Slurp!”
Jia Xi couldn’t hold back any longer and soared into the air.
“Let’s go, let’s eat meat!”
Whoosh whoosh whoosh…
A line of people glowed with dazzling golden light as they flew down, startling the barbarians of the City of Barbarians, who sat down hard on the ground.
“Gods!”
They held up their arms and shouted loudly, their faces full of reverence.
…
Underneath the Hardwood Plains.
Ye Feng was speaking with the Ancient Holy God.
“There’s really no need to worry about the Ancient Barbarian Tribe?” Ye Feng asked.
“No need! The Ancient Barbarian Tribe has simple minds, they venerate pure strength, and are very aware of hierarchical positions. Jia Xi is my inheritor and will gain the recognition of all body cultivators. Once he arrives at the Wild Desolate Great Canyon, he will surely become its king, making rapid progress.”
“That is very good,” Ye Feng nodded.
Subsequently, the two of them talked about many things.
Ye Feng learned about the existence of the Ancient Races in the universe: at that time, the Myriad Clans were prominent, and the Human Race had no status.
It wasn’t until the emergence of the Nine Great Heavenly Venerables that the Human Race exploded from obscurity and rapidly dominated the Three Thousand Realms, becoming the number one race in the universe and oppressing the living space of the various Ancient Races.
To this day, the Ancient Races have almost vanished without a trace, having retreated from the stage of history.
Only the Human Race still stands at the peak.
Listening to this historical background, Ye Feng had some thoughts.
“Could it be that the Nine Great Heavenly Venerables eradicated the Ancient Races, leaving behind only some weak individuals suppressed underground in Shenzhou?”
“That’s a possibility.”
“But what’s the point of doing that?”
As Ye Feng’s question hung in the air, the underground of the Hardwood Plains fell into a deadly silence.
