Chapter 212: Chapter 181: Ancient Great Emperor! Ancestral Spirit! Sir?
"The Great Era is coming? What does that mean?"
On the road, hearing the conversation between Qing Zhu and Shan Yuan, Su Changqing couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
"The Great Era signifies the pinnacle moment of this ten thousand years."
This time without Xuan Qingzi’s explanation, Wu Yong excitedly said:
"Because the Great Emperor is too powerful, it requires consuming the endless primordial laws of heaven and earth to nurture the emergence of a Great Emperor."
"Thus, every time a Great Emperor is born, the heavens and earth will languish, and the imperial resonance will be too strong, suppressing all creatures, making cultivation difficult."
"But as ten thousand years pass, the heavens and earth restore to their original state, and the imperial resonance completely dissipates."
"Henceforth, heavenly fate returns to its place, and since the Great Era, the imperial path will be opened!"
Wu Yong’s words were filled with excitement, and even Miao Feng beside him showed fervor in his eyes.
They were born in the best era because this era is bound to gather countless prodigies and anomalies, witnessing the birth of a Great Emperor!
Yet, they were also born in the most brutal era.
For the success of one general, countless bones decay. Prodigies bleed, anomalies die, and all beings strive for the imperial path; blood will flow like rivers!
"The Great Era!"
Su Changqing listened, feeling his blood boil with excitement.
Born in this period, even if he doesn’t become a Great Emperor, witnessing various prodigies makes this life exciting enough.
"Sir, this era is not just as simple as the Great Era."
Shan Yuan, hearing the conversation ahead, laughed and said:
"The world counts ten thousand years as one generation, one hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred years as One Yuan Meeting, and ten Yuan Meetings make one Ancient."
"The birth and disappearance of a Great Emperor, who governs heavenly fate for ten thousand years, with imperial resonance dissipating and heaven and earth recovering for another ten thousand, requires twenty thousand years."
"And the end of these twenty thousand years is known as the Great Era of Emperor’s appearance."
Qing Zhu continued the conversation and said:
"However, in twenty thousand years a Great Era occurs, while in one hundred twenty-nine thousand six hundred years, chaos reigns."
"In One Yuan Meeting, six Great Emperors may appear, requiring spending twelve hundred thousand years, but what of the remaining nine thousand six hundred years?"
"That will be the accumulated blessings of heaven and earth, sheltering the final Great Emperor of One Yuan Meeting."
"This Great Emperor’s power, whether in aptitude, combat strength, or mastery of heavenly fate, will surpass the previous ones."
"And often in this era, battles are more intense; hence, it’s called a chaotic age."
"Chaos breeds heroes refers to the Great Emperor sheltered by heaven and earth’s blessings, also known as Yuan Emperor!"
Shan Yuan and Qing Zhu lived through ages and knew many worldly secrets.
Now, with a brief statement, they revealed many secrets not recorded in books to Wu Yong and the others.
"Senior, do you mean our era is the chaotic age?"
Miao Feng asked curiously.
Su Changqing, Wu Yong, and Xuan Qingzi all listened intently.
"Our era is not merely a chaotic age but a flourishing age unseen in a million years!"
Shan Yuan looked at the revived heavens and earth and spoke solemnly:
"If One Yuan Meeting can produce a Yuan Emperor, what of ten Yuan Meetings?"
"Ten Yuan Meetings make one Ancient, a time spanning one hundred twenty-nine thousand six hundred years."
"Heavens and earth evolve every million years, and after a long time of transformation, with the infusion of various Great Emperors’ laws, it becomes more powerful."
"And at the end of the Ancient, the new heavens and earth accumulate extremely terrifying laws, creating an exceptionally mighty Great Emperor, the Ancient Great Emperor!"
Saying this, Shan Yuan looked at Su Changqing and the others and said:
"Cangyan Continent can trace back only the three eras of Primordial, Antique, and Recent Ancient."
"And the Ancient Great Emperor of Primordial era is known for being able to create heavens and earth with unmatched combat power, Wu Zu."
"The Ancient Great Emperor of the Antique era was the most mysterious, known to transform into The Three Pristine Ones and live three lives, Daoist Venerable."
"The strength of these two Great Emperors is overwhelmingly ahead of other Great Emperors, in terms of combat power and mastery of heavenly fate."
Su Changqing hesitated upon hearing this. It seemed like his teacher casually mentioned once.
His inheritance... seemed to be from Wu Zu?
"Heaven and Earth Divine Body, is it really that powerful?"
Su Changqing murmured disbelief, realizing, perhaps, Teacher Wu might be stronger than he imagined.
"The Primordial and Antique eras created two terrifying Ancient Great Emperors."
"But none have appeared in our Recent Ancient era, and this era has reached the end of the Ancient."
Qing Zhu took a deep breath and spoke softly, "This flourishing age is destined to witness the emergence of a great Ancient Emperor."
"Not just because it’s the end of an Ancient era, but also because..."
These words were interrupted by Shan Yuan nearby, who sternly shouted, "Qing Zhu!"
Qing Zhu regained awareness and laughed bitterly twice, saying, "Forget it, it’s too early for them to know."
Su Changqing and the others felt puzzled upon hearing this, but Xuan Qingzi seemed thoughtful.
Due to Su Nan, he knew about the impending battle between Heavenly Dao and dark demons.
Initially, he couldn’t fully understand the issue with this battle.
Why would Heavenly Dao choose this era for a decisive battle?
The Great Emperors of the Antique and Primordial eras were much stronger than those appearing in the Recent Ancient.
Why not choose that time?
Originally puzzled, today’s revelation combined with Su Nan’s words paved a complete path.
"Perhaps, Heavenly Dao fought a decisive battle before, but lost..."
The thought filled Xuan Qingzi’s heart, causing his eyes to tremble slightly.
There were rumors that Wu Zu wiped out the Dark Forbidden Area and created new heavens and earth.
There are records that Daoist Venerable transformed into The Three Pristine Ones, amassed power from three lives, breaking into the Forbidden Area and causing the collapse of countless demons.
Those epic battles seemed aimed at annihilating the Dark Forbidden Area.
