Eternal Sacred King

Chapter 2916: Two Rumors

Translator: Legge

Upon hearing that question, the Iron Crown Old Man and the other two lowered their gazes and suddenly fell silent.

The fat old man retracted his smile as well and remained silent.

The atmosphere in the hall became a little oppressive.

A moment later, Lu Yun could not hold it in any longer and asked, “Brother Su once asked a sword cultivator inside and the latter said that his surname was Luo. Is that just a coincidence?”

The Iron Crown Old Man and the other two were still silent.

When they saw that reaction, Su Zimo and the others already had an answer.

However, no one was willing to believe it.

Lu Yun did not seem to want to give up and asked, “Sword Lords, could the sword cultivators inside really be related to Great Emperor Zenith Heaven©?”

“Fufu…”

The Iron Crown Old Man stood up and raised his head with a smile.

There was a hint of helplessness, bitterness, sadness and sorrow in his smile.

The fat and skinny old men had conflicted expressions as well.

“This matter is a taboo in the Sword World. You will only know about it after entering the Emperor realm.”

The Iron Crown Old Man said indifferently, “Since you’re asking, I’ll tell you.”

“The sword cultivators in the Evil Fiend Battlefield are indeed descendants of Great Emperor Zenith Heaven’s lineage.”

The Iron Crown Old Man said, “It’s said that back then, Great Emperor Zenith Heaven was bewitched by Evil Fiends and became enemies with the living beings of the ten thousand races. He committed a heinous crime and was eventually killed by the Blessed Heaven World.”

“Because of this, the descendants of Great Emperor Zenith Heaven were imprisoned in the Sword Sin Ground and became Sin Spirits. They have to atone for their ancestor for generations.”

“That’s also the reason why the Sword World declined completely after the Zenith Heaven Era. We only rose again after recovering for a gap of an entire era.”

There was actually such a thing?

This matter had a huge impact on the eight Peak Masters!

In fact, the concepts of good and evil that they had established for many years were shaken.

The eight Peak Masters frowned and clenched their fists, unable to accept this for the time being.

“How could that be?”

Yu Lan was a little dejected as she murmured, “Great Emperor Zenith Heaven actually committed such a sin to be associated with the Evil Fiends…”

Every sword cultivator regarded Great Emperor Zenith Heaven as their pride.

Now that they heard that secret, even the eight Peak Masters could not accept it for a moment.

Lu Yun said, “After the Zenith Heaven Era, the Sword World encountered a calamity. That must be the reason, right?”

The Iron Crown Old Man nodded. “It’s said that back then, Great Emperor Zenith Heaven retained a trace of rationality and did not implicate the Sword World. He only took away his clansmen.”

Lu Yun asked, “Why didn’t you tell us about this earlier and the others of the Sword World?”

The Iron Crown Old Man fell silent once more.

“I’m guessing that this should only be one of the rumors.”

Suddenly, Su Zimo spoke. He looked at the Iron Crown Old Man and asked in a deep voice, “Senior, you should know about other rumors, right?”

The Iron Crown Old Man asked expressionlessly, “What rumors do you know?”

“No idea.”

Su Zimo shook his head.

Indeed, he did not know anything about Great Emperor Zenith Heaven.

However, Su Zimo changed the topic. “However, Senior, the rumor you mentioned earlier was full of loopholes. It couldn’t have withstood scrutiny.”

“Senior Zenith Heaven had already cultivated to the peak of the medium chiliocosm and became a Great Emperor. I really can’t think of any Evil Fiend who can bewitch a Great Emperor who founded an era.”

“If Senior Zenith Heaven was so easily bewitched by the Evil Fiends, it would have been difficult for him to become a Great Emperor with his Dao Heart. That statement is contradictory to begin with.”

The fat and skinny old men looked at Su Zimo deeply with conflicted expressions.

The Iron Crown Old Man did not explain or refute. He only asked, “Anything else?”

Su Zimo continued, “Since Senior Zenith Heaven was not bewitched by the Evil Fiends and had already become a Great Emperor, revered by the ten thousand races, why would he be enemies with the living beings of the ten thousand races? There’s a lack of a convincing reason for that rumor.”

“Furthermore, who among the ten thousand races can defeat him?”

“In that rumor, an existence was intentionally or unintentionally blurred out. It might be a person or a faction. However, one thing is certain—the power of this existence is enough to resist or even suppress the Great Emperor who established an era!”

When they heard that, the eight Peak Masters were shocked and looked at the three Lords of the Sword World instinctively.

The Iron Crown Old Man and the other two remained silent and did not refute.

That attitude could already verify many things!

“How is that possible?”

Yu Lan was still unable to understand and asked, “There’s only one Great Emperor and he’s revered in the universe. He’s an invincible existence. Throughout history, only one Great Emperor can be born in every era. Who can suppress a Great Emperor?”

“Of course there is.”

Su Zimo said, “There’s only one Great Emperor, but that’s in the medium chiliocosm and within the medium chiliocosm. However, what about outside the medium chiliocosm?”

“Outside the medium chiliocosm?”

The eight Peak Masters were stunned.

The medium chiliocosm was way too large and boundless. Given their cultivation realms, it would be difficult for them to travel through half of the medium chiliocosm in their entire lives, let alone outside the medium chiliocosm.

As for Su Zimo, he had been to the Netherworld, the Martial Dao Prime Body had been to Hell and entered the Ghost World.

He was certain that there were some special worlds outside the medium chiliocosm that stood side by side with the medium chiliocosm.

Great Emperor experts could also be born in these worlds!

For example, there was a Great Emperor in the Ghost World now—Brahma Ghost Mother!

Actually, after Su Zimo escaped from the Nine Nether Sin Ground, he had some guesses.

Since Brahma Ghost Mother was a Great Emperor and the power of a single drop of blood could break through the shackles of the Nine Nether Sin Ground, why did she have to make use of him?

Why didn’t Brahma Ghost Mother come to the medium chiliocosm and destroy all the ten Sin Grounds?

In this medium chiliocosm, there had yet to be a Great Emperor.

Since that was the case, what was Brahma Ghost Mother afraid of?

“Blessed Heaven World…”

Lu Yun asked hesitantly, “Could it be the Blessed Heaven World?”

Su Zimo shook his head. “The Blessed Heaven World is still in the medium chiliocosm and has yet to reach the point of standing side by side with it.” “Could we have been wrong from the beginning?”

Lu Yun seemed to have thought of something and muttered, “Blessed Heaven, Blessed Heaven… Perhaps the ‘Heaven’ they believe in, worship and serve might not refer to our Heavenly Dao or world… Perhaps it’s a person or an entire faction!”

“Sigh.”

When he heard that, the Iron Crown Old Man sighed deeply.

The Iron Crown Old Man looked at Su Zimo and finally nodded. “You’re right. Everything about Great Emperor Zenith Heaven earlier on was indeed just one of the rumors.”

“Furthermore, it’s the most common rumor in the medium chiliocosm that spread from the Blessed Heaven World.”

“However, in the Sword World, there’s another rumor passed down from Sword Lord to Sword Lord by mouth.”

The eight Peak Masters’ expressions turned cold as they listened solemnly.

“Iron Head, you…”

The skinny old man frowned and wanted to stop the Iron Crown Old Man.

The Iron Crown Old Man waved it off. “They’ve already guessed something. Even if we don’t say it, they’ll be conflicted about it. If they keep investigating this matter, they might attract trouble instead.”

Pausing for a moment, the Iron Crown Old Man said slowly, “You guys were right earlier on. There’s indeed an unimaginable behemoth hidden behind the Blessed Heaven World.”

“We don’t know what this faction is called. All records of this faction have been erased and no one is allowed to mention it.”

“Even the previous Sword Lord did not know. Perhaps he did and did not dare to mention it, afraid that he would bring calamity to the Sword World.”
