584 King Bone Holy Altar
“Please, don’t take my words to heart,” the rough man said, his flexibility evident in his smooth kneeling.
“Quickly, get up,” the little girl insisted, helping the rough man to his feet. “We are magnanimous and won’t be bothered by such small matters. Where did you say the six clans’ invitation is?”
“At the King Bone Holy Altar, in the center of the spirit bone level,” he replied.
Before the rough man could finish, the surrounding crowd gasped. “King Bone Holy Altar? Are the six royal clans insane? That’s a true forbidden area! Ordinary martial artists like us would be shattered with just one step!” Their voices shook with the profound respect they held for the King Bone Holy Altar.
“Legend has it that after death, king realm creatures’ corpses remain incomplete because the spirit world devours a certain bone in their bodies. Some say it’s a mark of an expert, bestowed by the Heavenly Dao,” they shared.
“They’re not stupid,” the little girl interjected, her face a sneer. “Each king realm expert’s bone possesses tremendous power. The so-called ‘Great Path power’ is nothing but the remnant power from those king realm bones. The accumulation of tens of thousands of these bones turned the King Bone Holy Altar into a forbidden area, too potent even for purebloods and future kings to traverse freely. They are, after all, true king’s bones.”
The crowd listened, entranced by the depth of knowledge the little girl offered. But just as abruptly as she began, she stopped speaking.
“Let’s go. We should get ready!” she commanded, disappearing into the forest.
Qin Huai, seemingly unfazed by her domineering demeanor, followed.
After several miles, the little girl stopped, hopping around as if searching for something. Suddenly, she landed, her expression severe as she addressed Qin Huai. “You can’t go! You absolutely can’t go! The six royal clans are truly shameless.”
“Why do you say that?” Qin Huai asked, “In the King Bone Holy Altar, isn’t the pressure from the king’s bones lenient toward them?”
“You’re correct!” the little girl asserted, hands on her hips. “Not only can they be lenient, but they can also wield the power of those king bones against us. Many of them are their ancestors. Even in death, their auras can be discerned. With the use of certain supreme clan treasures, they can control these bones as if they were an extension of themselves. In the king realm, even after death, the remnants of their bodies and souls retain formidable power.”
“Aren’t you also a member of the eight royal clans, Princess Qing Cang? Don’t you have treasures befitting your status?” Qin Huai asked casually.
“I… My father is merely a prince, he wouldn’t command the treasures of the past sages,” the little girl responded, her eyes evasive. “In essence, we aren’t just fighting the six royal clans. Upon entering the King Bone Holy Altar, we’ll have to face the top experts of those clans from ancient times.”
“Is there no possibility of victory?” Qin Huai pressed.
“That’s absurd! The six royal clans have been at their peak for countless years, never declining. Though time may have eroded the king bones’ power, they still count more than a hundred king tier entities amongst them. I fear only our Great You’s founding emperor, the Dragon Emperor’s ancestor, could suppress them.”
The little girl sighed. “Regrettably, my Dragon Emperor ancestor was the only emperor realm expert since the dawn of the Great You, counting both the human and demon races. Perhaps the Qingzhou Emperor, who almost eradicated eight clans in Qingzhou, could be considered half a candidate.”
“Why?” Qin Huai asked, hearing the name of Senior Emperor of Qingzhou from the little girl once again.
“Because the Qingzhou Emperor, though invincible in Qingzhou, can no longer reach that invincible realm. Although Qingzhou still boasts top-notch king realm experts and has even surpassed the three sects to become the human race’s peak, they’re no longer invincible.”
As time passed, Qin Huai began to understand the power of the senior Huang of Qingzhou. Even the world’s overlords held immense respect for the Qingzhou Emperor.
From the little girl, he learned about the change in power in the Great You ten thousand years ago, including the invasion of the eight great royal clans and the world’s transformation.
In essence, the human race’s peak was maintained by the three sects, which took turns producing emperors. However, ten thousand years ago, with the death of the last emperor, the human race no longer had an emperor.
The appearance of the True Dragon Emperor in the dragon clan triggered a world-changing event. The True Dragon Emperor, according to the little girl, didn’t annihilate the human race out of his desire for all races to coexist.
“In conclusion, we absolutely must not go to this battle!” the little girl insisted.
“Alright.” Qin Huai nodded casually.
