“Greetings, High Priest!”
Upon entering the temple, Tushan Ming immediately kneeled respectfully.
Although he was the most respected elder of the Qingshan tribe, Tushan Cangyue was the High Priest of the temple, the representative of the God of Great Green Mountain in the human world. Her identity and status surpassed all the people of the Tushan family.
Therefore, even though he was an elder, he had to be respectful in front of Tushan Cangyue.
Besides, with Tushan Cangyue’s current indifferent dignity and bearing, Tushan Ming felt fear and awe. She was no longer that weak woman from back then, but instead, the High Priest who followed God’s divine might and will in the human world.
Thinking of this, although Tushan Ming was filled with respect and fear, he also felt immensely pleased and proud.
“Why did the elder come to the temple?”
Whoosh!
Tushan Cangyue pointed, and an exquisite hassock fell down.
However, Tushan Ming didn’t sit. Instead, he remained on the ground.
Seeing this, Tushan Cangyue didn’t insist.
“High Priest, the Tushan family is flourishing day by day. Under the leadership of the Qingshan Great God, we will certainly create supreme glory in the future. This time, 1 came to the temple because I have two things to tell you about the Tushan family. These two things are related to the secret of the Tushan family’s inheritance and the reputation of our family,” Tushan Ming said in a deep voice.
Hmm? The Tushan family’s secret inheritance and reputation?
Hearing this, Tushan Cangyue’s cold eyes showed a faint curiosity.
“If you have anything to say, just say it.”
“It’s like this. About thirty-six thousand years ago, when the Tushan family was in danger, we met a benefactor who lent us a helping hand. The benefactor left something for the Tushan family to take care of. He said that one day, someone would come with a certificate to take it.”
As he spoke, Tushan Ming took out an ancient token and an ancient painting scroll. The pattern on the two items was exactly the same.
“Not long ago, someone came to the Tushan family, wanting to retrieve the thing we were entrusted to keep. However, that item has been taken away by thieves from outside Thunder Swamp 10,000 years ago due to our inability. The Tushan family had been entrusted by someone, yet we couldn’t keep our promise. This is the fault of the family. Therefore, 1 would like to request the High Priest to send someone to the Canglan ancient race to retrieve the thing we lost. Then, think of a way to return it to its original owner,” Tushan Ming said guiltily.
The Canglan ancient race?
Tushan Cangyue murmured, frowning.
“What exactly is that thing?”
“Oh, it’s the corpse of a True God. About ten thousand years ago, the Tushan family met with a great disaster. The Canglan ancient race and other forces seized the opportunity to dig out our ancestral shrine and steal all our treasures, and among them is the True God’s corpse. For ten thousand years, our people have never forgotten this blood debt and humiliating history. At the same time, we’ve been paying attention to the movements of the True God’s corpse. We discovered that it is still in the hands of the Canglan ancient race. In the past, the Tushan family was weak and couldn’t fight against a huge faction like the Canglan ancient race. But now that we have the power, I would like to take the corpse back and return it to its original owner.”
At this point, Tushan Ming’s old face was full of expectation.
Tushan Cangyue didn’t refuse his request.
“Since the Tushan family has broken our promise, we must find a way to make up for it. Elder, don’t worry. Once everything in the divine region has stabilized, I’ll send people to the Canglan ancient race to take back the True God’s corpse and return it to its original owner. At the same time, we will take revenge.”
Her cold voice sounded.
Hearing this, Tushan Ming was overjoyed.
“Thank you, High Priest! If we can take back that True God’s corpse and return it to its owner, 1 won’t let down my ancestors. Even if I die, I can rest in peace,” He smiled and sighed.
After staying silent for a while, Tushan Ming then presented the mysterious stone box to Tushan Cangyue.
He carefully opened the stone box.
With that, a mysterious ancient sword with an extremely majestic and imposing aura entered her sight.
Boom!
With just a glance, Tushan Cangyue sensed a peerless killing power surging over like a raging river.
At that moment, she felt as if she had entered a terrifying battlefield. The surroundings were filled with earth-shattering slaughter and roars. At a glance, there were mountains of corpses and rivers of blood.
“What a terrifying sword!”
She narrowed her eyes. Even she was affected by the sword.
The killing aura on this ancient sword was so dense that it simply made one’s hair stand on end.
“Elder, is this also the Tushan family’s item?” Tushan Cangyue asked in surprise.
She had never known that there was such a ferocious weapon in the tribe. This sword had definitely surpassed an Extreme Dao ancient spiritual weapon.
“Yes. This sword is related to the origin and inheritance of the Great Green Mountain’s Tushan family. It has been passed down for a long time. Long before the Taicang Ancient Kingdom, this sword had already existed. Its name is the Sword of War.”
At this moment, Tushan Ming’s face became extremely solemn.
Sword of War?
Hearing this name, Tushan Cangyue showed great interest.
“Elder, just now you said… Tushan family of Great Green Mountain? Aren’t we the Tushan family? Are there other Tushan families besides us?”
“Yes. Tushan family is a general name. The Tushan family of Great Green Mountain is just a small branch. In the Mountain Mausoleum Area, there are at least nine more branches like us.”
Nine? So many?
Tushan Cangyue’s heart trembled. She didn’t know much about the origin and inheritance of the Tushan family.
“Then, what does this Sword of War have to do with the Tushan family?”
“It’s related, of course, because the branch of Great Green Mountain was originally passed down by the owner of the Sword of War. According to the words of our ancestors, the ancestor of Great Green Mountain was the God of War, one of the ten great Heavenly Gods!”
The God of War? Heavenly God?
Hearing this ancient secret, even Tushan Cangyue was shocked.
Heavenly Gods were powerful existences above True Gods. Was the ancestor of Great Green Mountain that powerful?
Tushan Cangyue found this unbelievable.
“Back when the ancestor was alive, Great Green Mountain had an extremely glorious era. However, we encountered a great calamity later on, and the ancestor unfortunately died. Later on, the ancestor used a secret technique to place a wisp of his true spirit on a statue and enjoyed the faith and worship of the tribesmen.”
“In the end, the ancestor became a temple God and moved the tribe to Great Green Mountain. From then on, he changed his name to the God of Great Green Mountain. This Sword of War was his sword. It controls war and slaughter, and has accompanied him for countless years. After the ancestor became a Temple God, he forged it into a divine artifact. He engraved the divine right of killing, war, and extinction into it, making the Sword of War the strongest divine artifact of the time.”
“However, the ancestor later participated in the war of the Heavens with his true spirit. Unfortunately, he suffered a great defeat and died. His Dao dissipated, and his divinity was obliterated. Even the Sword of War lost all its divinity and divine rights, becoming a mortal object. After tens of thousands of years of searching, our ancestors finally brought the Sword of War back to the family. You could say that it has witnessed all the glory of the Great Green Mountain’s Tushan family, as well as the decline and weakness of the family.”
Speaking of this, Tushan Ming’s old face showed an unprecedented sigh.
The Tushan family had once been incredibly glorious. Unfortunately, everything had been buried in history..
