C140 The Secret of Ancient Countries

The voice of the old man seemed to represent that of a palace. In an instant, the pressure on them dissipated and they returned to their initial calmness. Xiao Chen and the other two nodded their heads before walking into the palace.

As soon as he entered, what entered his eyes was glory.

Hua Li was at his peak.

The floor was covered in sparkling and translucent white jade that exuded a faint glow. Even after thousands of years, spiritual energy still permeated the air, and the pillars in the hall were made of pure gold, and they were carved with dragons and phoenixes.

This made the three of them sigh in admiration.

Just from the white jade on the floor, every piece was extremely expensive. In addition, there was a pure golden dragon pillar that was ten to several dozen zhang tall, further contrasting the brilliance of this palace.

Although it was ownerless, it still possessed a majestic aura.

The three of them dared to assert that in all of Profound Sky Continent, there was no other palace that was as generous as this, nor was there a nation that could stand shoulder to shoulder with the imperial palace in front of them.

"As expected of the ancient country's foundation."

It would probably be a huge expense just to build this Imperial City. Although the current Imperial City was still very prosperous, it was far too inferior compared to the ancient country. It could not even be mentioned in the same breath.

"This is truly infuriating!"

Chu Yuan's face was also filled with shock and envy.

On the other hand, Chu Yanran was bouncing around the palace like a child.

The two of them couldn't help but laugh.

The nineteen year old Chu Yanran still had a childish mind.

Weng! *

Suddenly, a gigantic mystical crystal emitted a glow above the great hall. It emitted an endless amount of light as it enveloped the entire great hall. Immediately, Xiao Chen and the others felt a faint oppressive force.

"Senior …"

Xiao Chen said, "There is no harm in that. That little girl must have touched the mystical crystals guarding the hall. That is why the mystical crystals are acting this way." As he spoke, an invisible force had been injected into the Xuan Crystals. The light of the Xuan Crystals gradually faded and they regained their original state.

"That piece of Profound Crystal does not have any offensive power, but once someone threatens the ancient kingdom's imperial palace, that Profound Crystal will form a huge barrier that will protect the imperial palace. Even the strongest Heavenly Dipper Realm experts will not be able to break through it!"

"The ancient kingdom's imperial palace has experienced thousands of years, so it naturally has absolute strength. Otherwise, how could it be able to stand proudly in the Profound Sky Continent for nearly ten thousand years before collapsing?" l

Hearing that, Chu Yanran could not help but ask: "Grandfather, then why did the Ancient Congress disappear?"

Xiao Chen and Chu Yuan had the same thought.

This question was obviously the pain in the old man's heart, but he did not avoid it. Instead, he sighed and slowly said, "Since the ancient country could be called an ancient country, it has existed since the middle ages, and over the years, the Profound Sky Continent has constantly changed, constantly changing. Since the ancient times, various countries have coexisted together, but they are not in their own camps, but under the ancient country's control.

However, the will of the Heavenly Dao has not been constant for a longer period of time, changing every thousand years. When the destiny of our country was being carried by the will of the heavens, there were already two great ancient countries that bore the burden of the heavens, thus, the three nations were established in the Sky Profound Realm, and the various countries coexisted. As for my Luo Tian Ancient Country, in just three hundred years, it surpassed the two great ancient countries from before and became the strongest one of the three ancient countries. "

As he spoke, the old man's voice was filled with pride.

Even the language was incomparably passionate, as if the scene of the ancient Luo Tian Country ruling over the Profound Sky Continent appeared in front of his eyes.

Xiao Chen and the two of them did not say anything as they listened quietly.

As they listened to the story of the thousand years ago and the glory of the ancient country, the three of them couldn't help but sigh.

"However, a thousand, seven hundred years ago, Heaven's Mandate changed once again. This made the other two Ancient Kingdoms covet it, even the Ancient Luo Country was no exception. If we were to bear the Heaven's Mandate once more, then the other two Ancient Kingdoms would definitely be left far behind in the dust. Hence, the three leaders of the ancient countries all acted to fight for Heaven's Mandate, thus a great battle was waged between the three of them.

During that battle, the three great ancient countries all unleashed their full strength. The world collapsed and the spirits were burnt to ashes. The powerful might destroyed many of the ancient countries, causing rivers of blood to flow. Even the sky was dyed red. In that battle, even though my Luo Tian Ancient Country was at the peak of power, we weren't able to suppress the other two Ancient Kingdoms. After all, we were an ancient country with deep roots.0

Heaven's Mandate had yet to descend, and at that time, the three ancient countries were already at death's door. Thus, one day, the three ancient countries decided to battle. The victor would have to bear the Mandate of Heaven and the loser would have to submit.

They had almost reached the limit of the Martial Cultivators, so their fighting strength was extraordinary. They could easily kill countless living creatures, and maybe the three ancient countries had too many of their own, causing the divine punishment, causing the three ancient countries to be heavily injured, no longer in the glory of the ancient countries. This is intolerable to the three ancient country leaders, hence they made an astonishing decision! "

"What decision?!"

Xiao Chen and the two others asked in unison, their expressions flickering.

"Destroy the Heavens!"

Hiss!

The three of them sucked in a breath of cold air at the same time!

Destroying fate!

One must know that Heaven's Mandate was a legacy from the heavens. Just what level of existence was the leader of the three ancient countries at? He actually dared to fight against the heavens, and wanted to tear apart the heavens' destiny?!

"Then did they do it?!" Xiao Chen asked.

The voice said bitterly, "I did it."

Immediately, the entire hall was dead silent.

Xiao Chen and the other two people stared with their eyes wide open.

They actually did it, they actually lost to the heavens!

"But the consequences are something they cannot bear, and it is also something they regret the most, after the Heaven's Mandate was torn apart, heaven and earth fell into disarray, life was burned to ashes, the other two ancient countries were struck by the retribution and turned into ashes one after another, and my Luo Tian Ancient Country was also punished by the Heaven's Punishment. In less than a hundred years, it hasn't fallen to any of the empires under its rule.

The old man's explanation moved the three of them.

Destroying fate and ultimately being devoured by the Heavenly Dao was truly deplorable, but it could only be said that the cause would naturally bear fruit. The cycle of karma would not change, and everything was fated by the heavens.

"Senior, is this the reason why there is no ancient country now?" Xiao Chen asked. There was no longer any sign of Heaven's Mandate, so naturally, there was no longer any existence of the ancient country.

However, he merely snorted.

"Even if Heaven's Mandate still exists, the current Profound Sky Continent would not possibly have the existence of an ancient country."

This confused the three of them.

"Senior, why is that? Didn't you just say that you can become an ancient country by bearing the heaven's will? Why can't there be an ancient country even if you have the heaven's will now?! " Chu Yuan asked in confusion, everything was said by the old man, if he was the one who said it was him, if it wasn't him, wasn't this just lifting a stone to smash his own foot?!

The old man said: "Leaving aside the fact that there is no such thing as destiny, even if there is, there is no one in the entire Profound Sky Continent who can accept destiny. Do you all know what realm it is?"

The three of them shook their heads.

"Only the strong ones in Deity Realm can achieve the Mandate of Heaven …"

With that sentence, all three of them widened their eyes with faces full of disbelief. Deity Realm? That was the realm of legends! Forget about Deity Realm, perhaps even the experts of Heavenly Dipper Realm wouldn't be able to find it.

"What's more, the world right now is not complete."
