Chapter 1527: Chapter 1317: Why are you looking at me? I’m just a messenger_2
Others didn’t say anything.
They were curious about the curse but didn’t ask further.
Zhang spoke up:
“I wonder, are there any Saint Bandits in the West?”
Jiang Hao was somewhat surprised.
He hadn’t heard about the Saint Bandits for a long time. When the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment surfaced, the Saint Bandits had just emerged from their seal and were highly active.
But as time passed, they became more covert.
It was unknown where they were hiding.
There used to be some of them in the Lawless Tower, but not anymore.
It’s unclear what these people are doing in the dark.
Now is an era when other forces are incredibly active.
Yet, contrary to common sense, the Saint Bandits became inactive when they were supposed to be active.
“No word from the Saint Bandits overseas either,” Liu said, before adding, “But if we look, we should be able to find some; it’s hard to say about the West.”
Zhang nodded; overseas would do in a pinch.
Gui spoke again, “Are you selling the Snow God Pill?”
Their answer was the same: not for sale.
They all wanted to try it.
This made Gui feel somewhat regretful.
Once a Snow God Pill was consumed, there was one less, and who knows if more will ever appear again.
With the trade concluded, the conversation turned to other matters.
Liu was the first to speak: “There has been a strange change in the Ancestral Dragon’s Heart in the Abyssal Sea.”
Gui inquired with curiosity, “I’ve heard about someone approaching the Abyssal Sea, but I didn’t inquire about the specifics.”
The news piqued Jiang Hao’s curiosity, but he remained silent.
Lucky for him, with Gui present, he should be able to learn most of it.
“The Ancestral Dragon’s Heart is known to have weakened, but the dragon race is trying to get overseas forces to replenish its strength. Except for the Twelve Heavenly Kings, everyone else has agreed, but under tremendous pressure, even the Twelve Heavenly Kings need to consent,” Liu said with a sigh, “Even though the dragon race has yet to appear, they still possess an enormous deterrent power.”
“Has no one resisted?” Xing was somewhat surprised.
“There are those who have, with the Twelve Heavenly Kings being the most direct. They disagree because the weaker the Ancestral Dragon’s Heart becomes, the more opportunities they have.
Therefore, they don’t want to replenish it, but the remaining two dragon clans are still powerful and come with many overseas forces.
Although the Twelve Heavenly Kings are remarkable, if they don’t agree, they’ll have to leave the Abyssal Sea,” Liu continued.
“But besides the Twelve Heavenly Kings, there are others who don’t want the dragon race to return too quickly.
It’s said the Heavenly Spirit Clan has acquired a secret technique that can suppress the dragons from returning from the Ancient Lands.
The only thing missing is a cooperative partner.”
The listeners were surprised.
Indeed, the Heavenly Spirit Clan was bold, daring to oppose the dragon race at such a time.
“There should be quite a few who would assist the Heavenly Spirit Clan,” Zhang said.
“Yes, but what’s lacking is someone powerful enough; the stronger they are, the more effective the secret technique and the longer the delay,” Liu explained.
Upon hearing this, Xing was about to speak, but Senior Dan Yuan chuckled, “Such a good opportunity; there should be no lack of people willing to lend a hand.”
Hearing this, everyone realized that Senior Dan Yuan was going to spread the news.
Jiang Hao breathed a sigh of relief.
Delaying the dragon race’s return was good.
He had been waiting for an opportunity and hadn’t expected one to come, but ending up with a result was just as well.
It seems there were many who didn’t want the dragon race to return too hastily.
It made sense; a dragon race that had not been weakened would certainly cause great upheaval upon their return.
But his ultimate goal was the Ancestral Dragon’s Heart.
“Surely the Ancestral Dragon’s Heart isn’t that simple? Hasn’t anyone dealt with it?” Gui asked.
A good question indeed, Jiang Hao thought. A gathering without Gui just wouldn’t be as appealing.
“The Ancestral Dragon’s Heart cannot be dealt with; people from overseas have tried many methods. The only way is to prevent them from regaining strength, but it seems impossible to stop that now.
Let alone seal or destroy it,” Liu said with a laugh.
Hearing this, Jiang Hao hesitated before saying in a deep voice, “You could ask the Human Emperor.”
This remark surprised everyone.
Ask the Human Emperor?
If the Human Emperor were still alive, why bother asking?
This problem wouldn’t exist.
Everyone looked at Jing with puzzled faces.
Don’t look at me; I don’t know either, Jiang Hao thought to himself.
He really didn’t know, but that’s what the Heavenly Note Sect had said.
If he couldn’t figure it out, let these people do the thinking.
After all, none of them were simple; in their presence, his advantage was merely being of a higher realm.
He couldn’t compare to them in any other aspect.
“Wasn’t the Human Emperor considered to be unreachable?” the fairy guard inquired.
Jiang Hao lowered his brows, feeling at this moment that the fairy guard indeed had many questions.
If he knew the answers, he would have dealt with it already.
Why else would it be mentioned at the gathering.
As the crowd looked on in confusion, Xing suddenly spoke up, “Actually, there is indeed a chance to speak with the Human Emperor.”
As his words fell, everyone, including Jiang Hao, was somewhat astonished.
The fairy guard and the others originally thought it was Jing speaking nonsense, but it turned out it wasn’t just Jing rambling on, there was also Xing.
“Is the Human Emperor still alive?” the fairy guard questioned.
The crowd turned their gaze toward Xing.
“Whether the Human Emperor is alive or not, I do not know, but there is indeed an opportunity to converse with him,” said Xing.
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked.
“Has Friend Xing discovered something?” Liu inquired.
Xing did not conceal anything and spoke frankly, “I have been to the Human Emperor’s Mausoleum.”
The crowd took a sharp intake of breath.
He had actually gone to the Human Emperor’s Mausoleum.
No wonder he said there was a chance to converse with the Human Emperor. Such a powerful being as the Human Emperor must have left something behind there.
Immediately afterward, the crowd thought of something else. Was it at the Human Emperor’s Mausoleum where the Star Curse was encountered?
“When can we converse with the Human Emperor?” asked the fairy guard immediately.
Jiang Hao was also interested in this, but of course, he was more eager to know if there were any ancient items in the Human Emperor’s Mausoleum.
He was quite disappointed that there were none at the Heavenly Extreme Emperor’s place.
As for conversing with the Human Emperor, it was entirely possible.
After all, the Human Emperor most likely had met with the Heavenly Extreme Emperor and would understand that it was feasible to leave behind his strength.
Therefore, it was possible for the Human Emperor to emulate this.
It seemed that powerful beings all liked to do such things.
“I don’t know, but there is such a possibility,” Xing replied.
But everyone knew that without sufficient certainty, Xing would not have mentioned it.
“If there’s a way, wouldn’t that mean some upheaval will occur overseas?” the fairy guard suddenly asked.
Liu pondered briefly before saying, “Even without a way, turmoil overseas is going to happen soon. The End of All Things has also been making moves lately. The fairy guard might not know, but three of the four fierce beasts have already fallen into the hands of The End of All Things and have all submitted to them.”
Jiang Hao lowered his brows; The End of All Things really wasn’t peaceful at all.
But their acquisition of three meant they would go after the fourth.
And the whereabouts of the fourth was currently unknown.
Previously, it was in the southern imperial city, but later it was taken away by someone notified by Senior Dan Yuan.
Since then, there had been no word.
“What does The End of All Things want to do?” asked the fairy guard.
“I don’t know,” Liu shook his head.
“It may be related to the Ancestral Dragon’s Heart,” Zhang mused, saying, “I’ve received a message that the people of The End of All Things want to awaken their core member, which requires tremendous strength, and the Ancestral Dragon’s Heart fits the bill.”
Jiang Hao felt a sense of emotion in his heart; this time, he really hoped The End of All Things would succeed.
However, the probability of success wasn’t very high. The Ancestral Dragon’s Heart harbored the will of the Ancestral Dragon and was close to the Abyssal Sea; it completely had a means of escape.
Better to seal it by a special method.
Or after sealing it, hand it over to The End of All Things.
Eradicate the Ancestral Dragon’s Heart once and for all.
After a moment’s hesitation, Jiang Hao said, “Within the Ancestral Dragon’s Heart lies the will of the Ancestral Dragon, and he seeks to resurrect himself.”
This statement shocked everyone present.
Jiang Hao had not mentioned the Heavenly Book of Inheritance, putting that aside for now.
After all, Xing was going to inquire directly of the Human Emperor.
That would be more precise.
Liu’s breathing became somewhat heavy; this news was anything but trivial.
Once discovered, countless people would be fearful.
But it would also drive some to take desperate risks.
Killing the Ancestral Dragon would mean the dragon race, while still fearsome as ever, would not be without solutions.
But if the Ancestral Dragon were to resurrect, then the current dragon race would be unmatched by anyone.
After much discussion, the gathering ended on the reminder of Senior Dan Yuan.
Within the void of stars, Xu Bai opened his eyes from his closed-eyed meditation.
He looked around, feeling regretful: “I’ve been trapped here for some time now, whether I can escape depends on the fairy guard.”
He truly hadn’t expected that to get in, he would have to rely on a curse.
It shouldn’t be the Human Emperor’s way.
As for the dialogue, it was very likely possible.
Before entering, he had sensed it from various places.
The Human Emperor might even be watching him.
