758 Human Sacred Palace, Sage Battle Halberd (2)
At this moment, Immortal Ancestor Xu Cheng, Immortal Ancestor Huang Yun, Immortal Ancestor Yuling, Immortal Ancestor Hanming, and Immortal Ancestor Luo Qian, had arrived in front of the Human Sacred Palace that they had been away from for countless years. Looking at this majestic and magnificent Human Sacred Palace, memories that they had deliberately avoided surged into their hearts, as if lights and shadows flashed before their eyes.
That was countless years ago, an era so ancient that it could not be traced back.
At that time, the Human Sacred Palace was not here. Instead, it was located on the ground. Corresponding to it were the Heavenly Emperor Palace and the Earth Imperial Palace. They were respectively the Dao Grounds of the Supreme Gods of Heaven and Earth.
The Three Supreme Gods of Heaven, Earth, and Man were the absolute rulers of this world at that time.
In that era, the fledgling humans had yet to grasp the concept of cultivation and were incomparably weak. Any beast with some strength could treat the humans as food.
The Supreme Gods of Heaven and Earth did not care about these things. To them, the human race was only an expansion of the concept derived by the Supreme God of Man. They were a part of the Supreme God of Man, so there was naturally no need for them to care.
Even the Supreme God of Man did not really care about them. Humans were just a form of living beings that were born naturally during the expansion of his concept. There was no need to care about them at all.
Just like how the Supreme God of Heaven would not care about the laws of the Great Dao that were born naturally, and the Supreme God of Earth would not care about the mountains and rivers that were born naturally.
Therefore, it was extremely difficult for the earliest humans to survive. Apart from having intelligence, critical thinking, and learning capabilities, they were otherwise very weak.
Later on, the Supreme God of Man discovered the benefits of making the human race stronger, so he began to interfere in the development of the human race.
That was because in essence, the human race was the expansion of the Supreme God of Man’s creation concept. Therefore, in theory, the stronger the human race was, the stronger the Supreme God of Man would be.
As long as there were more and more experts in the human race, the strength of the Supreme God of Man would continue to grow.
This growth speed was much faster than the natural expansion of the Supreme Gods of Heaven and Earth. The efficiency was completely incomparable.
Actually, this was also one of the important reasons why the Supreme God of Man was able to expel the Supreme Gods of Heaven and Earth from the Primordial World.
Hence, the Supreme God of Man chose hundreds of people from the human race and taught them the method to control the Great Dao laws and seize the creation of the world.
In the end, 37 people became followers of the Supreme God of Man and were allowed to live in the Human Sacred Palace.
These 37 people were also the main helpers when the later generations expelled the Supreme Gods of Heaven and Earth.
However, 28 of them had already died in that final battle. Only the nine strongest experts holding the Sage Battle Halberds had survived.
In other words, the Nine Immortal Ancestors.
There were too many things in that period of history that they did not want to remember. It was also the time when they were the weakest and most helpless.
The Human Sacred Palace and the nine Sage Battle Halberds contained the darkest secrets in their hearts that they did not dare to let others know.
… .
… .
Boom!
Amidst a series of loud bangs, the huge door of the Human Sacred Palace that had been sealed for countless years slowly opened. Endless dignified aura surged into the perception of the five Immortal Ancestors.
Even though they were no longer weak, even though they had already become Immortal Ancestors and had sat above the world for countless years, they still could not help but feel their hearts palpitate when they saw the door of the Human Sacred Palace open.
After a while, the five of them barely calmed down.
However, just as they were about to enter the Human Sacred Palace, their expressions suddenly changed.
“It’s Cui Heng. He has descended on the 11th Chaos Calamity!”
“He’s interfering with that timeline. Damn it, he’s really going to gradually occupy an even more ancient timeline!”
“We can’t let this person live. We have to kill him!”
“Let’s go in. We’ll take the Sage Battle Halberds and kill Cui Heng!”
The sudden change once again strengthened the five Immortal Ancestors’ determination to kill Cui Heng.
In the eyes of these five Immortal Ancestors, they were mortal enemies. There was no room for reconciliation.
Immortal Ancestor Xu Cheng and Immortal Ancestor Huang Yun walked at the front. Immortal Ancestor Yuling, Immortal Ancestor Hanming, and Immortal Ancestor Luo Qian followed closely behind and walked into the dark and silent Human Sacred Palace.
They had once lived here for a long time, so they were very familiar with the layout here. They found their destination with ease.
In the deepest part of the Human Sacred Palace, there was a hall with exquisite and ancient patterns on the wall. But the entire place was a gloomy black, as if it had been stained with dried blood.
The five Immortal Ancestors stood in front of the hall and stopped. After seeing the gloomy blackness on the wall, their eyes flickered, and it was unknown what they were thinking.
“We’re already here, so there’s no need to think too much,” Immortal Ancestor Xu Cheng said in a low voice. “So much time has passed, and there are also two portions of the divine inheritance in Cui Heng’s hands. It’s impossible for him to revive!”
“That’s right.” Immortal Ancestor Huang Yun nodded and said, “The countless years can wash away everything. He has long transformed into Dao and no longer exists.”
With that, the two of them walked forward and pushed open the door of the hall. The gloomy blackness stuck to their hands like dried blood.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The moment the door was opened, a cold wind blew out, causing the surrounding atmosphere to suddenly become extremely oppressive. The five Immortal Ancestors could not help but shiver.
Then, they looked into the hall from the door and could see nine huge halberds stuck straight into the ground, forming a circle, as if they were surrounding something in the center.
If one took a closer look, they would be able to see that there seemed to be something stuck at the bottom of the nine huge halberds. They were like nine nails that nailed something to the ground.
“Go in!” Immortal Ancestor Xu Cheng took a deep breath and said in a low voice.
He was the first to walk into the hall. Immortal Ancestor Huang Yun also followed.
The remaining three Immortal Ancestors looked at each other and went in as well.
Bang!
The door of the hall suddenly closed!
… .
The River of Time flowed vastly, and Cui Heng continued to swim against the current.
Just now, he had already established a true spatial Dao mark in the 11th Chaos Calamity and successfully established his existence in this time point, completing the occupation of this timeline. After this, Cui Heng did not stop. Instead, he continued to travel forward. After crossing countless years, he finally arrived at the time when the fourth Chaos Calamity erupted.
He descended as usual and played an important role in the process of the Immortal Ancestor’s death, forming a true spatial Dao mark. After this, he would fabricate and trace an identity in the timeline and finally solidify it to occupy the timeline.
The entire process was incomparably smooth and there were almost no obstacles.
Cui Heng even felt that the Immortal Ancestors had not descended from the current time, nor did they attempt to stop him.
This puzzled him after occupying these two timelines.
In the Pure Yang Palace.
“What’s going on? What did those five Immortal Ancestors go to do?”
Cui Heng frowned slightly. He was still sitting cross-legged on the meditation cushion and thought to himself, “Could it be that they’ve placed all their preparations in a more ancient timeline?
From my previous actions, it shouldn’t be difficult for them to guess that my next target is the time of the first Chaos Calamity.
Are they giving up on all the obstacles here and gathering all their strength to wait for me there?”
