Chapter 421: Chapter 324: Jiang Hui Enters the Supreme (End)_2
The Elder Supreme of the Li Family showed anger in his face.
The old man was truly angry. He usually kept himself secluded, hoping to break through to the Divine Realm within his lifetime. He had long handed over authority to the younger generations and rarely appeared unless there was a matter threatening the survival of the clan. He had no idea such a thing had happened within the clan.
People around him looked at each other after being scolded, but no one dared to say anything, as they too didn’t know why this was happening.
“Open the coffin!”
Soon, the coffin in the mound was opened.
But to everyone’s surprise, no corpse was found inside, just an empty coffin.
“What’s going on?” the Great High Ancestor turned towards a middle-aged man.
That was Li Zi Cheng’s biological father, Li Nan Zhu.
The man sighed heavily and then sat on the ground. He’d hidden this secret for more than a decade, and even played the part of an unruly fop to keep it under wraps. When he heard the news today, he came in a hurry to stop it, but still failed to prevent everything from coming to light.
He could never have dreamt that this matter would even alert the Great High Ancestor.
“Clan Leader, tell me clearly what is going on.” The Elder Supreme of the Li Family narrowed his eyes, casting a glance at the middle-aged man by his side. His robes were fluttering without wind, an aura of intimidating authority radiated from him. The terrifying pressure of the True One Realm was like a tidal wave, pressing down on everyone.
“Clang…”
Li Nan Zhu, taking the brunt of the force, couldn’t resist at all and knelt down onto the ground.
“Great High Ancestor, I am really not in a position to disclose this!” Li Nan Zhu bit his lips, his face reddened, but he still stubbornly resisted.
“What are you reluctant to disclose? The person buried in this tomb isn’t just your wife, she’s also Zi Cheng’s biological mother. What right do you have to hide it?!” The Elder Supreme of the Li Family snorted coldly and with one slap sent Li Nan Zhu several meters away.
In the elder’s heart, the young man in front of him was far more precious than the entirety of the Li Clan. With the young man’s presence, the Li Clan had the assured prospects of a revival. Furthermore, there was a considerable chance that the Clan would climb atop the Immortal Dao, equalling the likes of a sovereign or a Divine Mountain.
That was the Blood of the Sky Demon, the epitome of strengthened nobility, a rarity over the length of the ages. Even when compared to the Supreme Bone and Double Pupils’ unrivalled talents of the ancient times, it wasn’t in any way inferior. It was a unique and dominating talent, capable of annihilating all enemies of the world and forging an undefeated legacy.
“Zhao Yi Xue isn’t actually dead. She faked her own death years ago to escape her true identity as the Goddess of the Sacred Void Palace.”
After a while, Li Nan Zhu began to speak, revealing a shocking secret to everyone. As his words fell, his already scruffy appearance became even more decrepit.
“Sacred Void Palace?”
On hearing this, the expressions of every member of the Li family drastically changed, even the Great High Ancestor’s expression seemed a bit off.
While the Li Clan was indeed large and prosperous, it was only within the city of Jiangfu. If placed in the vast Yun Zhou, it could just about be counted as a third-rate force. But if it was to be put within the vast Upper World Three Thousand States, it couldn’t even be considered a minor faction, only a tiny corner of the realm.
The Sacred Void Palace, on the other hand, was an Immortal Dao Sect that was well-known throughout the Three Thousand States. Its influence was terrifying and extensive, with an Immortal Old One of the Supreme Realm at its helm. The Palace had several Sect Hierarchs who were in the Void Path Realm, not to mention Celestial Gods and True Gods were as common as carps crossing the river. Any one of them could easily wipe out the Li Clan. They were truly a colossal entity.
They never imagined that the woman from back then was the Goddess of the Sacred Void Palace.
“Xue’er was a Goddess of the Sacred Void Palace, noble and dignified, and had achieved the Noble Realm even before our first meeting years ago. She could have ignited the Divine Flame at any time.
But Xue’er was proud and lofty, a rare genius once in a thousand years. She was not satisfied with just any Divine Flame. Even though the world’s miraculous flames were hard to obtain and had nothing to do with one’s strength but rather extraordinary luck, she painstakingly studied ancient books and finally found a way to upgrade the quality of the Divine Flame.”
But perhaps her luck was too dire, she was injured when she was chasing after a certain Treasure medicinal plant and temporally lost her memory. Back then, I had just returned from my travels to Jiangfu City when she sought my help and my sympathy compelled me to save her.
And so, we got to know each other since that day and after many trials and tribulations, we ended up together.”
A year later, Zi Cheng was born and I was also chosen to be the Clan Leader of the family. When I thought everything was finally going smoothly, Xue’er suddenly regained her memory…” Li Nan Zhu’s voice trailed off.
“And then? What happened after that?!” From the side, the young man’s eyes turned red with anticipation, he vaguely sensed what happened next, but he still wanted to hear it from his own ears.
“After that, your mother left us. She was always destined to be the sun in the sky, shining brightly while moving forward. Her life’s purpose was to climb the peak of cultivation; she could not settle down within a small clan like ours. I was blinded back then, thinking you were the reason she had to leave, therefore I ignored you all these years. I’m sorry, my child!”
“Why did it have to come to this?” Tears welled up in Li Zi Cheng’s eyes.
“Sacred Void Palace? So what if she was the Goddess of the Sacred Void Palace? Only the top geniuses could make it to the end with their vast potential. Regardless of any circumstances, no one could ever abandon their own child!”
The Elder Supreme of the Li Clan sighed deeply, and his tone became noticeably weaker.
