Chapter 274: Whose Tomb is the "Nameless Emperor's Tomb"?
Jiang Lingyun has expressed her love for Jian Xuan more than once.
She could also see that Jian Xuan was in love with her. He was very handsome and had coldly rejected the advances of countless junior sisters and senior sisters from various sects. But when it came to her, his answer was always, "Junior sister, don't think about these things. Focus on your cultivation and we'll talk about it later."
The two lived in the same courtyard and knew each other's hobbies and habits very well.
Even with Jian Xuan's little tricks, how could she not see that the two of them were already as close as inseparable Daoist couples?
Even members of the sect said they were a perfect match.
Jiang Lingyun felt lucky, after all, being close to the source of the water meant she had a better chance of getting the moon. But she was also unlucky, because she had fallen for such a stubborn senior brother who was so focused on cultivation and strength.
He rejected her love for only one reason: he was weaker than her and less talented, and the gap between them would only widen. And that was indeed the case.
Jiang Lingyun didn't care about that, but Jian Xuan did.
He wanted to be with his junior sister forever, but he couldn't accept that the person who would accompany her throughout her life could only ever look up at her.
Jian Xuan wanted to prove that he was worthy of her.
Although Jiang Lingyun found this mentality hard to understand, they clearly found each other so pleasing to the eye, so why did matters of love have to be related to strength and cultivation?
But she was very patient and never got angry with Jian Xuan because of it.
Maybe.
Jiang Lingyun felt she should have been more assertive. If she had been more assertive back then, perhaps Jian Xuan would have softened his stubbornness.
They both vented their feelings after meeting again and talked for a long time about the things they wanted to discuss together.
They chatted like that for more than half an hour.
Jian Xuan still cared deeply about his sect. After Gu Heng found him, he did want to return to the Myriad Swords Immortal Sect, but of course, he couldn't go back as a remnant soul.
Otherwise, he would truly have no face to face the trust placed in him by his master and junior sister.
Although Jiang Lingyun certainly didn't care, Jian Xuan did.
"Did you find what you were looking for, senior brother?"
she asked.
Jian Xuan shook his head, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "To lose one's life in vain, and gain nothing in return."
"That 'Nameless Emperor's Tomb' really ruined me." Back then.
As the Grand Elder of the Myriad Swords Immortal Sect, Jian Xuan should have been busy with countless affairs, but in the end, he died in a desolate mountain wilderness of the Sun Flame Dynasty.
His stubbornness in wanting to "continue to become stronger and catch up with Junior Sister Jiang" is inseparable from his determination.
But what truly piqued Jian Xuan's interest was a tattered ancient page.
That ancient page was accidentally discovered by Jian Xuan when he had people cleaning out the old scripture pavilion of the Ten Thousand Swords Immortal Sect. It contained little information, but it was a record from an unknown sect leader many years ago of a strange tomb he had seen on the eastern border.
It is said that the tomb is "hidden in the mountains, difficult to see with the naked eye," and upon approaching it, "it exudes the aura of a sword domain, its power so strong that it is difficult to break through"...
The sect leader eventually entered the tomb, only to find that "thousands upon thousands of vengeful spirits attacked, all possessing Mahayana cultivation, and could not be completely eradicated." There were also "layers upon layers of overlapping formations, and touching them would bring great calamity," and so on. In the end, he dared not explore the nameless tomb any further and retreated.
He left behind only these few short lines, which described everything he had seen and heard.
no doubt.
When Jian Xuan saw this ancient page, a tremendous wave of emotion surged within him.
Based on just a few words on the paper, Jian Xuan understood that the sect leader had definitely entered the tomb of some ancient supreme being, and had encountered a series of methods left behind by that supreme being. In the end, he could not break through and had to retreat.
In his record, he only stated that in front of the tomb hall, "there was a broken stele with the words 'Emperor's Tomb' written on it, but it is unknown which emperor's tomb it was."
So, which great emperor who left his mark on history is buried in this "Nameless Emperor's Tomb"? The sect leader left behind two hypotheses.
First, there is the "Supreme Emperor Taiming" who broke through to immortality during the primordial era! Second, there is the "Great Emperor Shengyao" who mysteriously disappeared during the post-Taixu era!
This is the reason for such speculation.
It's because only these two are truly legendary emperors!
Emperor Taiming, hailed as the "First Human Emperor" during the primordial era, used the power of hundreds of millions of people to refine countless imperial purple energies before ascending to the immortal realm, which was witnessed by all.
This method can also be used to ascend to immortality!
In the primordial era, those among the human race who became emperors or kings were the most despised.
Those emperors relied on the so-called "power of their subjects" to gather fortune. This method was despised by everyone at the time because it was not the power that they had cultivated step by step. At that time, ascending to immortality was the most noble pursuit.
Emperors who "take crooked paths" will never ascend to immortality.
Until Emperor Taiming ruthlessly shattered those people's "unyielding principles" with facts. Emperor Shengyao...
In terms of legendary status, this empress was in no way inferior to her predecessors.
Her real name has long been forgotten, and her Great Qin Dynasty was even larger than that of Emperor Taiming, encompassing half of the Xuantian Realm!
Ancient dragons and phoenixes were no match for her, and as for the various races of the demon realm, they were all defeated and forced to submit!
The Holy Yao Emperor led the human race to the true pinnacle of "controlling the Xuan Tian Realm"!
The only pity.
The sudden disappearance of the Holy Yao Emperor led to the collapse of the Great Qin Dynasty before it even had a second emperor, resulting in a period of great chaos that lasted for thousands of years.
These two people have one thing in common.
That is, they were both extremely skilled with swords, and their swordsmanship was superb. The Scripture Pavilion of the Myriad Swords Immortal Sect contains part of the swordsmanship inheritance of these two emperors.
Therefore, regardless of which of these two emperors the "nameless emperor's tomb" belongs to.
Jian Xuan knew all of this.
This is a great opportunity!
He had already reached the tenth level of Mahayana Buddhism at that time, so ordinary opportunities were no longer of any use.
Jiang Lingyun had already reached the first level of the Supreme Saint realm, and was even about to break through to the second level of the Supreme Saint realm!
Jian Xuan, however, couldn't even reach the threshold of breaking through to the Saint Realm.
The Mahayana and the Supreme Saint are the most difficult barriers for cultivators to overcome.
Countless Mahayana practitioners throughout history have ultimately been stuck at this insurmountable barrier, dying with great resentment.
Although Jian Xuan has reached the tenth level of the Mahayana stage, which is already beyond the reach of countless people, his goal is to catch up with his junior sister Jiang.
Therefore, it's not enough.
Far from enough.
Therefore, Jian Xuan made a decision that he would regret for a very long time in his remnant soul state.
He wanted to explore that "nameless emperor's tomb"!
