Chapter 67 The Covenant of the Ancients
“At that time, five spatial channels appeared. Four of them were connected to the Pangu Origin world. Most of them were powerful figures who did not like the war. By looking for s.p.a.ce nodes, they got through the channels to get here. But there were also some dark and cunning teams who used the existing channels to create trouble in the Chaotic World and disturbed the peace.”
“That troop from a different realm was the main culprit to provoke the b.l.o.o.d.y storm in the Chaotic World! There were not many, only ten people, but each of them had a top cultivation level, the peak of an Almighty Immortal. They engaged some villains from Pangu Origin world and began to invade and plunder the Chaotic World.”
“Soon there would be fierce clashes wherever this group of aggressors appeared, including the places of the Creators. In the course of battle, they unexpectedly discovered the secret of the Creators. Later, in an incredible way, they even took control of a creator from the Devil Clan at the celestial stage, who was made to work like a slave to build magic treasures for these ten men.”
“Being aware of the crisis, the leaders of the Creators regrouped together and called on all those who had the power to fight and destroy these detestable predators!”
“The powerful figures that came over from the Pangu Original World through other channels, without exception, responded to the call of the Creator’s leaders and joined in the battle with the alien team. Regrettably, thousands of years ago, among the four demon emperors, Green Dragon and Suzaku Emperors, had a.s.sembled a group of powerful figures of various races and set up the same fencing boundary formation as that in the Pangu Origin world. They separated an area with the richest Spiritual Qi and the most gifted treasures, called it the celestial realm and basically cut off contact with the other parts of the Chaotic World.”
“The White Tiger and Xuanwu Emperors had just started their seclusion cultivation and they could not be contacted. As for the newly emerged Green Dragon and Suzaku Emperors, they were not mature enough and had poor cultivation levels, so they could not help. The end result was that the five Creator leaders joined the 26 powerful figures from the Pangu Origin world and jointly started the campaign to destroy that alien invading team.”
“It was an earth-shaking battle. Even if the five Creator leaders had made extreme use of their life divine weapons, the battle was still terrible! The war lasted for ten years. They were battling all the while and the spatial rifts were directly generated even though heaven and earth did not collapse. This resulted in nine of the invaders getting killed, one fled and all their followers wiped out! As for the Creator Allied Army, all five Creator leaders were injured and only one powerful figure of the puppet field survived.”
“After the war, the surviving puppet powerful figure fled. After discussion, the five Creator leaders made the decision to destroy all the spatial channels! This decision immediately aroused strong opposition from most of the cultivators from the Pangu Origin World. This action will mean that they would lose all contact with their homeland.”
“Even though there were many objections, the previous powerful figures leading them had all perished in the previous death battle with alien invaders, so the Creator leaders went ahead to destroy each spatial channel, one by one. This also included the first spatial channel in the demon land.”
“Here, I would like to introduce the basic background information of the five Creator leaders, so that you can have a better understanding of the events that happened next.”
“First is Bai Wanying, the only female Creator leader among the five, who is a member of the human race. This person possesses a special const.i.tution called `body of laws’ and her life divine weapon is the Profound Sealing Ring. Previously, the providence covenants that defined the aggregation law of the life divine weapons were made based on her special const.i.tution and the life divine weapons. She is also the key person behind the channel seal.”
“And I, originally named Xu Chongzhi, am the remaining Creator leader of the human clan. I have the life divine weapon named Crazy Devil Blade and a special const.i.tution of “two-soul immortal body”. Bai Wanying, as mentioned earlier, is my Taoist companion.”
“Among the two leaders of the devil clan, one is Xuanli Zhen and his life divine weapon is the Silence Sword. He has a special const.i.tution called the ‘chaotic doppelganger body’.”
“The other one is called Feng Li, who possesses the life divine weapon h.e.l.lfire Shield, and a special const.i.tution called‘body of s.p.a.ce’.”
“The last one is the leader of the spirit clan, which was formed from the ancient essence of the five elements. His name is Esteemed Five Elements and he has the life divine weapon Soul-Depriving bell and the special const.i.tution called the ‘five-element immortal body’.”
“In order to eliminate the impact of the war, and let us, who have become the target of public criticism, be erased from the memory of all people, Wanying made use of the law of heaven and earth and the strength of her five life divine weapon to establish the supreme ancient covenant between heaven and earth.”
“Under the covenant, all creatures born in the Chaotic World will forget everything about the creators, while the creatures from the Pangu Origin world and living in the Chaotic World are not allowed to contact anyone or anything related to the Creators. They are not allowed to reveal information about the Creators to creatures in the Chaotic World. Of course, only the Creators are outside the scope of the covenant.”
“Of course, there are ways to get around the supreme ancient covenants. One of it is that as long as one of the five of us can a.s.semble five life divine weapons at the same time, then use the force of the law of heaven and earth to reverse it, it will be destroyed.”
“It was very easy to destroy the first four spatial channels connected to the Pangu Origin world. But the channel to the demon world and the channel to the alien world were much more troublesome than the actual destruction.”
“The channel of the demon world had long been transformed into the core area of the demon clan by the saint beast clan, named the Land of Origin, which, due to our deep attachment to it, made it impossible for us to destroy it. This is where the surviving puppet powerful figure lives. He seemed to know that such a day will come, eventually. With the help of the old Suzaku Emperor, he even set up a “puppet illusion formation” here to prevent us from sealing the channel.”
“The places where we had taken refuge before were the sealed places where Wanying made use of the Profound Sealing Ring to create. Naturally they can isolate the influence of the illusion formation. The result of the battle was a tie. Of course, both sides held back, after all, there was no everlasting deep hatred. Finally, after consulting with the two young demon emperors who did not undergo seclusion cultivation, the pa.s.sage was sealed and not destroyed.”
“As for the method of sealing, Wanying came up with it. Using a life divine weapon as a medium, it can be sealed with the force of the law. Furthermore, because it is the Creator’s life divine weapon, in combination with the ancient covenants, no one living in a Chaotic World would be able to destroy it.”
“When choosing the life divine weapon for sealing, I contributed the Crazy Devil Blade, which is considered as important as my life. Because Wanying’s Profound Sealing Ring was the key weapon in the sealing of the channel to the alien world, I had no choice.”
“Finally, we came to the channel leading to the alien world. After seeing its structure, Wanying told me that it must be sealed by at least four life divine weapons for more than ten thousand years before it can be totally destroyed. However, during its destruction, the four life divine weapons will certainly disappear at the same time.”
“Of course, there is another way. That is, it can achieve the same effect by using her body of laws as the seal medium in combination with the providence laws. However, if the channel is destroyed, the one who will vanish between heaven and the earth will be Wanying herself.”
“Wanying was too kind and had great trust in the friendship between five people that has gone beyond tens of thousands of years! She did not notice that, when they gave the second choice, there was an evil light flashing in both the eyes of the two leaders of the devil clan.”
“Just as we decided to seal it with our own life divine weapons, a sudden event occured! The two leaders of the devil clan took the lead in starting the attack. They attacked Wanying and the Esteemed Five-element. As for me, they did not pay any attention to me at all because I don’t have the life divine weapon!”
“Because it happened so suddenly, the three of us were totally caught off- guard, and we were shocked. After being struck by the Silence Sword, the Esteemed Five-element escaped with his Soul-Depriving bell relying on the secret art of five elements. Wanying, who was fighting alone, and I, who lost the life divine weapon, were soon overwhelmed by the two of them. At the last moment, Wanying struggled to burn her soul and forcibly stimulated the “extreme state” of the Profound Sealing Ring, which gave me time to separate the second partial soul and send it away.”
“These two guys who have lost their conscience, then applied soul-searching techniques on the weak Wanying. Then, using the obtained seal method, with the body of Wanying as the medium, they drew the force of the law and completed the seal of the alien world channel.”
“And for me, my soul was blown into bits and I died when they sealed the channel! But even though my body is dead, so long as the second partial soul exists, over ten thousand years or so, a new body can be formed once again!”
“Xu Mubai! This is the name I gave myself when I recovered after about ten thousand years! I have been dreaming to regain Wanying’s freedom. And the first step I need to do is to get my life divine weapon, the Crazy Devil Blade!”
“The origin of the six races circulated in the Chaotic World is a false statement produced under the action of the ancient covenant! The celestial realm here was created by the two emperors of the demon clan and the spiritual realm was created by the Esteemed Five-element who gathered his clan after he fled. As for the ghost realm, it was created by the b.a.s.t.a.r.d Feng Li, in order to monitor the seal of the alien channel! The place where Wanying was sealed is the Sunset Kingdom which has become like a G.o.dly kingdom today! Xuanli Zhen took his own sons and daughters to the Devil World. Utilizing the power of the Silence Sword, he created the Xuanli clan who were ranked top in the Devil World at that time!”
“It was the war with the outlanders that caused the division of the three realms of human, demon and devil. The barrier sealing formations between the three races were set up by people in the celestial realm. The five pieces of chaotic evil treasures that have been circulating for a long time are precisely the life divine weapons belonging to our five leaders. Apart from these five genuine owners, anyone else who tries to use them will be charged by the power of the law!”
After Xu Mubai had finished his story, his tears flowed freely. Several people opposite him, except Zhu Yan, who bowed his head and meditated, were all shocked. Shangguan Ying felt heartfelt sorrow upon hearing about Bai Wanying’s experience and tears were running down her face too.
Among them, the one who had an uncomfortable feeling, was Lyu Liang! Xu Mubai’s words made him understand many things that were contrary to his imagination. Not knowing why, although what he had heard was beyond his understanding, he still chose to believe in it!
Xuanli Zhen! In Lyu Liang’s mind, the great founder of the Xuanli clan was such a handsome villain. It made him feel very sad and guilty. Of course, there was still a trace of high hope in his heart, that what Xu Mubai said was not entirely true.
But as soon as he saw his eldest brother’s grief stricken eyes, Lyu Liang’s heart subconsciously contracted! He understood his eldest brother’s feelings and he fully believed his story.
After a while, Xu Mubai seemed to have calmed down and with a deep bow to the four people in front of him, he said with a heavy tone: “My life divine weapon, Crazy Devil Blade, is not far ahead. I hope all my teammates can help me! if I can get the Crazy Devil Blade, I will have a better chance to save Wanying!”
Xu Mubai spoke resolutely and he had a murderous intent in his eyes! After hearing what he said, Lyu Liang made a quick stride forward to support Xu Mubai, and said firmly : “Why does Big Brother even need to ask? We are brothers in life and death. Your business is mine! Big brother you only need to tell me how to do it. I have absolutely nothing to say before doing it!”
Li Wuyi nodded firmly and clapped Xu Mubai on the shoulder. Shangguan Ying also approached and nodded gently, showing that her support was the same as that of Lyu Liang. Only Zhu Yan shook his head helplessly and stood up.
Seeing that everyone was willing to help him, Xu Mubai’s face glowed with excitement. He immediately declared: “We will take two hours off before we go!”
After they had agreed on the timing, they went out of the house one by one to find their own place of rest. Zhu Yan was the last to leave. Pa.s.sing by Xu Mubai, he gave him a special look and then he pa.s.sed a message by divine sense, saying: “I believe you, Xu Mubai, but I don’t trust Xu Chongzhi! Don’t forget what I told you before!”
