Chapter 441: Race’s Treasure, True God Corpse!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In an ancient and magnificent hall in the Canglan ancient race, a group of powerhouses led by Grand Elder Wei Cangming were gathered. On the lower left side of the hall sat Clan Leader Wei Chaotian.
The atmosphere was a little heavy.
“Grand Elder, this is what happened…”
Wei Chaotian recounted everything that had happened in detail.
After he finished speaking, everyone fell into deep thought.
“This was premeditated. Their goal should be to provoke a war between the Canglan ancient race and the Lihuo ancient race so that they can reap the benefits,” Grand Elder Wei Cangming said with a dark expression.
His words received the approval of everyone present. This matter was indeed fishy.
“Grand Elder, although I wasn’t the one who killed Pei Zhan and Pei Lie, the Lihuo ancient race will definitely hold me responsible. To prevent the other party from doing anything reckless after being cornered, we have to prepare in advance. I think it’s time to dig out the race treasure in the ancestral grave. Only then can we be prepared for any unexpected situations.”
After a long silence, Wei Chaotian suddenly said.
What? Dig the ancestral graves and take out the race treasure?
Hearing this, everyone was shocked. Even Wei Cangming frowned.
All of them knew what the race treasure was. It was the corpse of a True God.
Ten thousand years ago, the ancestors of the Canglan ancient race had snatched it from the Qingshan tribe in Thunder Swamp. From then on, it was treated as the treasure of the race.
Over the past 10,000 years, the True God’s corpse had helped the Canglan ancient race survive several crises.
Generally speaking, only when the Canglan ancient race was in great danger would they consider digging out the True God’s corpse to defend against the enemy.
Now, only Pei Zhan and Pei Lie had been killed. Was there a need to be so flustered and use the True God’s corpse?
Everyone felt that it was making a mountain out of a molehill.
“Clan leader, how can we use the race’s treasure so easily? I think it’s better to be cautious.”
Someone suggested.
“No, the Lihuo ancient race is a bunch of mad dogs. They can do anything. It’s better to be safe than sorry. I think it’s better to plan ahead.”
Some stood on Wei Chaotian’s side.
“That True God’s corpse is too eye-catching. Every time we use it, we have to be very careful in case something bad happens.”
“The Dual World War is around the corner, we can’t afford any accidents.”
“I heard that there seems to be a huge change in Thunder Swamp recently. The God worshipped by the Qingshan tribe has been revived.”
“The Great Green Mountain’s Tushan family is expanding crazily. It won’t be long before they conquer Thunder Swamp.”
“When they gain a firm foothold and are free, they will definitely come to the Canglan ancient race to take back that True God’s corpse.”
“When that time comes, how are we going to deal with them?”
“No one knows when they will come. We have to be prepared. Do we really have to wait until the enemy comes to our door before we use our trump card?
In the main hall, everyone was quarreling.
Wei Cangming frowned when he saw this.
“Enough!” He shouted, and the scene instantly quieted down.
“Right now, the situation in the eastern region is unpredictable. The Dual World War is about to start, and the Tushan family of Thunder Swamp is eyeing us. We don’t have much time left. I’ve already received accurate news from the shrine. The shrine has already begun to recruit soldiers in the eastern region. All members of the Lihuo ancient race who are in the Divine Illumination realm are to participate in the Dual World War. It’s the same for the Canglan ancient race. Therefore, it’s time to dig out that corpse from the ancestral grave. In addition, I think that after we dig out that corpse, we will return it to the Great Green Mountain’s Tushan family and apologize to them.”
Wei Cangming pondered and said.
What? Recruiting all the clansmen in the Divine Illumination realm? Return the True God’s corpse to the Tushan family?
Hearing these two pieces of shocking news, the elders and Clan Leader Wei Chaotian widened their eyes. Their faces were filled with disbelief.
“Grand Elder, is the shrine’s conscription plan true?”
“It’s true. The shrine has already made its decision. The relevant decree will be delivered soon. Tell those who are at the critical point of breaking through to the Divine Illumination realm not to break through for the time being. Wait until after the conscription. It’s better to preserve more powerhouses,” Wei Cangming sighed helplessly.
In fact, when he first learned about this conscription plan, he was also shocked and could not accept it.
However, they were weak and could do nothing about it.
The Dual World War concerned the fate of all humans in the eastern region. They didn’t have a choice.
Furthermore, the decree of the Eastern Shrine could not be disobeyed.
Therefore, no matter how terrified and unwilling they were, the Canglan ancient race could only accept it.
The others also understood this logic. There was no room for bargaining once the decree of the shrine was issued.
However, why did they have to give the True God’s corpse back to the Tushan family? That was the Canglan ancient race’s treasure!
Everyone was unwilling.
“Sigh… I know that you guys don’t want to give the True God’s corpse back to the Tushan family, and how would I be willing to do so? But there’s no other way. Right now, the Tushan family is attacking the other races and families in Thunder Swamp. Once they are free, they will come to the Canglan ancient race. When the time comes, I’m afraid there will be a danger of death and extinction. In that case, why don’t we take the initiative to return the True God’s corpse and apologize? As long as we show enough sincerity, I believe the Tushan family won’t make things difficult for us. On the contrary, if we stubbornly resist, I’m afraid that we will not be far from being exterminated,” Wei Cangming sighed deeply.
Ha!
Hearing this, everyone’s expression changed drastically.
“Grand Elder, the Tushan family… Are they really that powerful?”
“Yes.”
Wei Cangming only nodded and did not explain further.
“Alright, let’s end our discussion here today. We will dig out the True God corpse now, and 1’11 send it to the Great Green Mountain’s Tushan family myself.”
After saying that, Wei Cangming immediately walked out of the hall.
Seeing this, the others present looked at each other and followed with sighs and helplessness.
Qin Daofu, who was hidden in the darkness, also saw this scene.
“Has the Canglan ancient race changed? To think they want to return the True God’s corpse to the Tushan family. Could this old man have heard something?” Surprise appeared in Qin Daofu’s eyes.
“No! We can’t return the True God’s corpse to the Tushan family yet. We need to use it first. Otherwise, it will be a huge loss. After all, we paid a great price to get this information from Tushan Cangyue. If we let them return it, how are we going to make up for our losses?”
Thinking of this, Qin Daofu rushed out of the hall in a flash.
The Canglan ancient race was different from the other aristocratic families and great races. Their ancestral graves weren’t located on famous mountains but within the race itself.
A moment later, Wei Cangming and the others arrived at the square of the race.
“Ancestral land, open!”
Boom!
As Wei Cangming performed a secret technique, the ground of the square suddenly emitted a strange green light.
Then, the ground began to tremble and slowly split apart.
Not long after, a passageway appeared in front of him.
“Let’s go in.”
Wei Cangming waved his hand and led everyone into the ancestral land.
Seeing this, Qin Daofu also used the effects of the invisibility jade talisman to secretly follow them in.
Whoosh!
After entering the ancestral land, lamps lit up one after another under the control of Wei Cangming’s secret technique, illuminating the ancestral land.
The setup here was very simple. Apart from some murals, there was nothing else.
Only an ancient bronze coffin was placed in the center, a memorial tablet before it.
“Ancestor, descendant Wei Cangming reports that due to the danger the Canglan ancient race is facing, we have come to disturb your spirit in heaven and take out the race’s treasure. Please forgive us if we have disturbed you.”
Wei Cangming led everyone to bow three times and kowtow nine times.
Following this, he took a deep breath, slowly took out three incense sticks, and lit them in front of the memorial tablet.
Then, another round of devout kowtows.
It was only after doing all this that Wei Cangming stood up and walked to the bronze coffin.
“Open the coffin.”
Following his order, Wei Chaotian and the others came to the copper coffin and slowly opened the lid in an extremely solemn and sacred manner.
Boom!
The moment the lid of the coffin was opened, a terrifying divine power surged out like a flood.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Under the divine might, everyone present was suppressed and could not help but kneel.
“True God’s corpse!”
Qin Daofu, who was in the darkness, was overjoyed when he sensed the extremely pure divine might.
Whoosh!
Just as Wei Cangming was about to reach out to pick up the True God’s corpse, Qin Daofu stepped out and arrived in front of the coffin.
Bang!
Before Wei Cangming could react, he kicked him hard.
Immediately after, Qin Daofu closed the lid of the coffin as quickly as he could. He then carried the coffin and rushed out of the ancestral land..
