Chapter 2017: Chapter 724: Emperor Venerable of the Di Ji Tribe

Mr. Sun’s questions made Xuanyuan Pei look confused, staring at Mr. Sun for a moment: “What do these questions have to do with you?”

“If you’re just curious, don’t bring it up again!”

“If you want to join our clan, our clan warmly welcomes you. If you’re not willing, I, the clan leader, will arrange for someone to send you away, and we will never hurt you.”

Mr. Sun, in the “Wang Gu Zhen River”, experienced those stone bridges, with many murals depicting the history of the Xuanyuan Immortal Clan carved on the bridges. On the last bridge, the strokes described the origin of the Xuanyuan Immortal Clan.

It was an ancient race, not the ancient race from the Eight Desolations World, but the ancient race of the entire Heaven Realm. They had to trace back to the very beginning of the universe and its formation.

They were the first batch of creatures born innately in the universe!

They called themselves “Celestials.” Later generations of cultivators, regardless of race or talent, could not compare to them.

In their long lives, they finally felt “bored,” and at that time, the Lower Realm creatures were blooming like flowers, with some powerful ones peeking at the Heaven Realm.

Not until the first Ascension did they seem to suddenly find the direction of life, and also pursue higher levels.

That would be to transcend the entire Star Sea.

They were the first to accumulate the experience of “transcendence” for the entire Heaven Realm. The subsequent Emperor Venerables, Main Gods, and others followed their path of exploration.

Among these “Celestials,” one was said to have succeeded, transcending the universe, but for some reason returned, leaving a bloodline and an incredible cultivation method, “Ten-Thousand Realms Resonating with Stars.”

And they set up the clan rule: no matter if they have the clan’s bloodline or not, as long as they practice “Ten-Thousand Realms Resonating with Stars,” they are considered members of the clan.

The Ancestral Patriarch seemed to be open-minded: “I am a Celestial, and all creatures in this Star Sea can actually be considered my descendants.”

When Xuanyuan Pei said earlier that their clan was a continuation from the previous era, he was being humble. Their history goes back even further than the last era.

This was, of course, not because Xuanyuan Pei was intentionally humble, but because he wanted to hide the relationship between the Xuanyuan Immortal Clan and the ultimate mystery of “transcending” in the Heaven Realm!

But when Mr. Sun suddenly asked about this part of history, Xuanyuan Pei became alert immediately.

Mr. Sun’s performance was too astonishing, and in addition to suddenly asking about the secret of “transcendence,” Xuanyuan Pei couldn’t help but speculate that he was the incarnation or reincarnation of a great power!

Mr. Sun also saw many ancient “Celestials” in those old murals, and even saw some ancient Divine Race, Immortal Race, and Xuanyuan Immortal Clan history on the previous stone bridges.

Some ancient secrets were revealed within, such as some powerful beings who once pursued “transcendence”–in the murals, some gave clear results: they failed and perished.

Some had no results.

It was as if a story was being told, but some important characters gradually faded away, and in the end, the conclusion of the story did not account for their ultimate fate.

They just vanished in the story.

Among them, what alarmed Mr. Sun the most was a Celestial named “Hui,” who was the partner of the Ancestral Patriarch. The original group of Celestials, after experiencing such a long time, fought for transcendence opportunities and mostly became enemies.

Even a few opposing camps had great battles in the hidden places of the Star Sea.

But “Hui” and the Ancestral Patriarch never fell out, only gradually drifting apart in the later period, with less contact.

When “Hui” was born, there was an innate divine weapon called “Old Sun’s Ax” that accompanied him, which can cut any segment of time from the past.

For “Hui,” history had no secrets; as long as it happened, “Hui” would know.

Yet, “Hui” was never satisfied, and he firmly believed that he lacked the ability to “foresee the future”– the other half of his power.

As long as he could “control the past” and “dominate the future” at the same time, he would surely transcend and go to a higher-level world.

In the mural records, “Hui” made many efforts for this. Some of these “efforts” even caused several terrible catastrophes and turmoil for all the worlds’ creatures.

In the mural, the record about “Hui” was cut off about the time before the last era. At that time, Hui was studying the way of recasting life.

The reason why Mr. Sun paid attention to “Hui” was that when Mr. Sun looked at the mural, he suddenly realized that he and an old acquaintance of his own were too similar!

Water Mirror Demon.

The Water Mirror Demon seemed to know all the past secrets, and even the mystery of his own origin could be solved by it. But there was nothing special about his birth– Mr. Sun knew that what was truly exceptional were his brother and Alexia.

What could be so important about the origin of an ordinary mountain village boy like him? Why would a powerful force be interested in his origin?

When the Water Mirror Demon wanted to trade Mr. Sun for his mysterious origin, Mr. Sun found it very strange. Now that he thinks about it, the Water Mirror Demon might have just searched for the answer in the past through the Old Sun’s Ax.

Even though the Water Mirror Demon knew the secret of the Union of Seven Emperor Seals and the Heavenly Palace, why didn’t it know when the Heavenly Track of Eight Desolates World would be completely restored?

With its ability, it shouldn’t be too difficult to deduce this event, but it still needed Mr. Sun to inform it in time.
