Chapter 2818: Chapter 2793: Suppression of the Five Continents’ Strong One!
In front of Lin Bai’s wooden house, Lin Chen and Yu Yu sat down, chatting with Lin Bai through the night, mostly discussing matters related to cultivation.
Lin Chen occasionally mentioned the chaotic state of affairs on the North State.
He inevitably spoke of the enmity between the imperial clan and the Zhennan Royal Mansion.
For instance, Lin Chen’s father wanted to rise in power.
When Lin Chen spoke of these matters, there seemed to be an intention to draw Lin Bai into an alliance.
However, Lin Bai clearly stated that he was merely traveling through the North State for his journey and would not assist any faction in its battles for dominance. After several attempts to probe, Lin Chen saw that Lin Bai was indeed uninterested, so he stopped discussing the North State.
And Yu Yu asked Lin Bai the most about... Are the girls from the East Continent pretty? Beautiful? Are the places that should be large, large?
Yu Yu asked countless questions of this sort.
Lin Bai could only respond with a wry smile.
However, Lin Bai thought carefully that the land of the North State is too desolate, leading to its female warriors being wild in appearance, whereas, by contrast, the land of the East Continent is rich and abundant in cultivation resources, and the girls there are much more delicate compared to those in the North State.
Upon hearing Lin Bai’s description, Yu Yu secretly resolved that after leaving the Sword God Family, he must venture to the East Continent for some exploration.
The three sat and chatted through the night.
At dawn the next day, Dugu Fei left and returned, arriving before Lin Bai’s wooden house, and directly said, "Saint Lin Bai, Sword Venerable has summoned you, please follow me!"
Lin Bai silently got up and followed Dugu Fei.
Leaving the Flying Dragon Forest, he entered the territory of the Sword God Family.
Soon, Dugu Fei led Lin Bai past numerous residences until they finally reached the foot of a desolate and dark mountain range.
This mountain range was particularly eerie, even though it was the dawn moment with light shining over the earth, yet when the rays reached here, they still could not dispel the darkness.
"Sword Venerable is inside, Saint Lin Bai, please enter by yourself!"
"According to the rules, I am not qualified to enter here!"
Dugu Fei stood before this mountain range, smiling as he spoke.
"What place is this?" Lin Bai asked.
Dugu Fei smiled and said, "Edsword Tomb, it is the burial ground for the generations of Sword Venerables of the Ed Clan after they merged into the Dao, even within the Edgar Lineage, it is considered a forbidden area!"
"And the current Sword Venerable is in retreat within, so the Saint must trouble himself to enter alone."
Lin Bai nodded in sudden realization, bid farewell to Dugu Fei, and stepped into the mountain range.
Along the ancient path, he continued walking.
The end of this ancient path connected to a mountain cave.
Lin Bai, filled with curiosity, walked into the mountain cave, which was brightly lit inside, with wall lamps hanging on the walls, illuminating the darkness of the passageway.
While walking in the passageway, Lin Bai saw densely packed murals carved on the walls on both sides.
Lin Bai continued to walk and admire.
In the first half of this passageway, the murals depicted the Edgar Clan’s past efforts to quell the chaos over the Barbaric Ancient Continent, while in the latter half, they portrayed portraits of Sword Venerables of the Ed Clan.
The Edgar Lineage of the Sword God Family has existed for countless years, giving birth to innumerable Sword Venerables over this long period.
As he moved forward, Lin Bai saw at the passageway’s end, a fork appeared.
It split into nine paths.
Frowning, Lin Bai casually chose one path and walked in.
Inside this path, a huge stone chamber appeared, with a three-meter-high statue standing in the center.
At the moment Lin Bai stepped into the stone chamber, upon seeing the statue, an immensely powerful sword intention struck him like a divine dragon, almost knocking him to the ground.
Lin Bai looked surprised, and the nine layers of sword intention within him were immediately activated, resisting the overwhelming sword intention emanating from the statue.
It was then that Lin Bai clearly saw that this was the statue of a young man, his robe fluttering, with a carefree smile on his lips, holding a wine jug in one hand and a treasure sword in the other, his gaze soft as he looked toward the cloud sky, exuding an ethereal, immortal-like aura.
After a glance at the statue, Lin Bai looked at the surrounding walls of the stone chamber, which also had some murals, but they seemed to recount the life deeds of this statue.
As Lin Bai was engrossed in the murals within the stone chamber, a voice from behind him said with a laugh, "This was once the Sword God of my Edgar Clan, named Dugu Qing!"
"In a bygone era, he could be said to have dominated the Barbaric Ancient Continent!"
"In that era, neither the East Continent, North State, Southern Continent, Western Continent, nor the Central Holy Nation dared to side by side with him, let alone challenge his majesty!"
"In that era, he was an unmatched presence on the Barbaric Ancient Continent, suppressing the strong ones of the Five Continents!"
Hearing the voice, Lin Bai quickly turned around.
At the entrance of the stone chamber, a middle-aged man had appeared unknown-because Lin Bai didn’t notice him before, standing tall and straight, with hands folded behind his back, dressed in a black robe with long black hair draped down his back.
His gaze was sharp as a sword’s edge.
Even though he spoke to Lin Bai with a smile, Lin Bai still felt the dominant sword intention exuding from his every move!
"Lin Bai greets Sword Venerable!" Lin Bai respectfully said with a clasped fist.
Sword Venerable was one of the strongest beings on the Barbaric Ancient Continent today.
Even if Lin Bai was the Saint of the East Continent Academy, he should still show proper deference when meeting such a powerful being.
"No need for formalities," Sword Venerable smiled slightly, walked to the statue, and continued, "Unfortunately, since then, the Ed Clan rarely sees such strong figures again."
Looking at the statue of Dugu Qing, Lin Bai lightly said, "Suppressing strong ones of the Five Continents!"
Sword Venerable replied with a smile, "In the long years of the Barbaric Ancient Continent, almost each era sees a being who suppresses the strong ones of the Five Continents, known differently within various factions!"
"For instance, within my Sword God Family and Edgar Lineage, people like Dugu Qing, Dugu Bai, Dugu Yunhe are called Sword Gods!"
"In the Southern Continent’s Poison-God Clan, Tan Lang, White Jade, etc., are known as Poison Gods!"
"In the Western Continent’s Buddhism Sect, Master Yixin and No-Devil Master are known as Buddha Lords!"
"Your East Continent is more chaotic; it’s too wealthy, a place where all martial artists under heaven gather to fight for dominance. Countless strong sect members have emerged, and it’s also a place of endless great battles!"
"And in the East Continent as well, strong ones who suppressed the Five Continents like the ancestor of the Feng Family of Phoenix Song Area, who was called the Wind God!"
"Or the founder of the Faceless People, the God Slayer!"
"Because of the abundance of strong figures, the East Continent gave rise to many powerful martial art sects like the Red Immortal Sect, God-Demon Sect, East Continent Academy, Kunxu Li Family of the East Continent, Sky Area’s Zhang Family, Su Clan in the Everlasting Night City, God Ghost Impassable Mountain’s Song Clan, and so on..."
"Power shifts in the East Continent happen too quickly, many of the Taoist Inheritances of strong figures who suppressed the Five Continents were seized, destroyed, or obliterated, with few remaining!"
"And then there’s the Central Holy Nation, which once produced seven Great Emperors, reaching its peak supremacy over the Barbaric Ancient Continent!"
Sword Venerable chuckled softly to Lin Bai.
"Central Holy Nation’s Great Emperors!" Lin Bai’s spirit tensed upon hearing the term.
Sword Venerable said, "Indeed, and now the Central Holy Nation’s Great Emperor is also a strong figure suppressing the Five Continents!"
"In today’s Barbaric Ancient Continent, as long as this Great Emperor is alive, no one can threaten the status of the Central Holy Nation!"
