Chapter 1632: Chapter 1634

Chapter 1634 - Past Brilliance.

The ones who used to be feared, suspected, looked down on by some clans, believing that they had sinned, their blood impure, even slandered that what flowed through their bodies was sinner’s blood, now had the criminal charges overthrown by the two undead knights. After learning some of the truth, Shi Hao’s expression became complicated.

His forehead was shining, his gait steady and firm as he walked towards that city.

“What exactly is going on? Please tell me everything in detail!” Shi Hao asked for guidance. This was related to the fates of some clans in Imperial Pass.

“This city has existed for more than a single great era, it is the former site of the past true Imperial Pass!” Sanzang immediately said this.

The eras he spoke of were definitely not the same length of time as what normal people spoke of. It was because undead knights easily slept for an extremely long time, the units of time often measured in half great eras!

Then, he began to speak of some things.

In the past, the true Imperial Pass was this one. Due to fighting year in and year out, it had become damaged, also previously surrounded by great forces, even trapped by unmatched formations.

This was especially the case in one era when the great formation reached into the heavens, trapping this city, isolating it from the outside world!

The Emperor City that had towered for endless time was thus abandoned, treated as a bridgehead castle, blocking at the very front.

Meanwhile, in the back, the creatures that didn’t fall into danger built a new great city.

Shi Hao listened, not saying anything.

Undead knights always remained as bystanders, only when they woke up from their slumber would they pay attention to the battle situation. They definitely wouldn’t understand all of the truth.

“This original Imperial Pass has great power. Even if its size isn’t comparable to the new Emperor City that towers into the heavens, its sturdiness and strength exceeds the latter. It had previously been soaked in the blood of true immortals and undying existences, even undying kings falling on the city walls, immortal kings dying in the city!” Shenming revealed some shocking parts of history.

According to legend, in the most glorious era, the most resplendent times, Emperor City was bathed in the divine splendor of the heavens, supporting the fates of all clans. There were heroic guests who frequented from Immortal Domain.

That was why it had a brilliant past.

In a certain ancient period, there was a grand occasion of bestowing great titles, clans with matchless contributions given the title of Kings.

As long as one was the head of a clan, then they could receive the title of King.

As such, in the past, there was the Vermilion Bird King, Human King, Dragon King…

When Shi Hao heard these things, his mind trembled. When he was in the lower realm, he thought that the Vermilion Bird bloodline flowing through Fire Clan’s Huo Ling’er was because they were the descendants of the ancient Vermilion Bird, but now, it seemed like it should be even more ancient, they really did have true Vermilion Bird blood flowing through them!

“Moreover, there were more than one Human King, they were divided into three surnames. There were two or three individuals who were called kings, but now, their clans have most likely been eradicated.” Shenming said.

According to what she said, the kings of Desolate Border were not just seven of them!

“That was the original Imperial Pass’ most glorious age!” Sanzang even sighed with admiration.

It was precisely because of this that such a great disturbance occurred, sensed by the undead knights. Some experts in the clan secretly recorded these things into burial books.

The Imperial Pass of those times won decisive victories, bathed in the divine splendor of the heavens, shining with incomparably glory.

In those times, even the outstanding figures of Immortal Domain wished to visit Imperial Pass, proving just how glorious this place was. It was definitely not something that happened in a single great era’s time.

Shi Hao was speechless. The time period these two spoke of was definitely extremely ancient. There were many kings in the past, but later on, only seven kings remained.

Moreover, Shi Hao knew that since there were only seven kings left, that meant that the city most likely only had seven clans left.

“In the past, the title of King was a type of acknowledgment, a type of brilliant inheritance, something obtained with the blessing of all clans. That is why that type of imprint is a type of glory.”

According to what Sanzang said, the original kings had great divine abilities, received the blessing of all clans, thus forming even more powerful divine abilities. The glory was merged into their bones, forming patterns.

“You are saying that these patterns are glory, the blessings of the clans under the heavens?” Shi Hao was shocked.

“Correct. It was a grand occasion back then, startling even Burial Kings. There are recordings in burial books, Burial Kings personally looking into this.” Sanzang nodded.

These patterns were a type of blessing, having immeasurable abilities. When they were completely activated, they could protect the clans’ people.

Apart from this, there were other inheritances, as well as unmatched great divine abilities!

This was the most crucial part. The glorious imprint formed from the King title patterns contained the clans’ divine treasury, storing the highest extreme arts.

Shi Hao thought for a bit, recalling some things. His supreme being bones, as well as Shi Yi’s dual pupils, were they the past divine abilities of the clans?

Did some exceptional talents have inner secrets? Could this be used to explain this?

Otherwise, why would a child’s body produce unique wondrous techniques.

“Those seven kings, just how ancient of existences were they? Could they really live that long?” Shi Hao was doubtful.

However, Shenming’s following words made him understand some things.

“The original kings had long died, fought until their divine consciousness faded. It is because this ancient city had previously been captured, and then the residents were completely slaughtered. This is why Immortal Domain thus cut off their connection. The later kings might be successors, people of later times.”

The past glory, the extreme brilliance, in later generations, the clans that were bestowed the title of King’s most powerful individual became their kings.

According to what Sanzang said, the original kings and the seven kings were separated by endless time, they should be later generations.

Shi Hao frowned, not that convinced. He felt like there were some things that weren’t that simple.

“Could it be that my previous understanding was wrong? The scenes we saw through the altar weren’t things of this great era, but rather even more further back, the seven that survived of the original kings?”

“Or is this to say that the later generations produced seven powerful heroes?”

Shi Hao wasn’t sure. Meanwhile, there were some truths in New Imperial Pass as well that could provide some clues, but he couldn’t trust everything.

“The blessing of all clans, the glorious imprint that was formed, is it so ancient even the clans of later generations forgot about it?” SHi Hao said in self mockery.

However, when he thought of the Nine Heavens’ previous eradication, being slaughtered, this was still within reason. In reality, the destruction might not have all happened in a single great era, this might not be the sole reason for the severed inheritance.

Of course, the most important thing was that Stone Clan later on seemed to have done some things that incurred the hostility of some clans, to the extent where they even acted out against Stone Clan, thus producing the sinner’s blood saying.

However, if the imprint on their foreheads was what they used as proof of guilt, then that was definitely absurd!

They were gradually getting closer to the city. The uneven surface was covered in quite a few remains, some still lifelike, making one suspect if they still had life.

Shenming carefully examined them, confirming that they were all already dead, to the extent where she checked if their magical force and essence blood dried up, or else there was no way there wouldn’t be any power released from them.

Only, what they were confused about was why the flesh exterior could still be preserved so well.

“That is…”

Sanzang was shocked. In that vacant area not far from the ancient city was a pile of bones. They were burning, piled up together, the fiery light releasing a faint red color.

They could vaguely make out that in the flames, among the skeletons, there was some flesh that hadn’t been completely burned through, still having half of their faces.

Around the fiery light were all types of symbols. Those were matchless formations, isolating the fiery light.

“This formation is an undying level one!” Shenming couldn’t help but cry out in alarm.

This meant that endless years ago, from the past until now, the flesh and bones had always been burning. The origins were too terrifying!

Moreover, they noticed that there was more than one fire; there were many flames!

These types of existences were all being destroyed under the city. In order to prevent the aura of destruction from leaking out, they were sealed by symbols.

“On the city wall… there are living creatures!”

When they got closer, Sanzang was speechless. This was extremely shocking. After endless time passed, this city still had people?

Shi Hao was stupefied. He raised his head towards the area above the city walls. There really were people, living creatures.

“They are… children?”

They were some ragged children, from eight or nine to fifteen or sixteen years of age. Their faces were dirty, clothes incredibly tattered.

Apart from this, they also saw a few elders. They were extremely weak, as if they had been seriously injured, their foundations damaged, currently looking down with serious expressions.

These individuals could be described as old and sickly.

“After all these years have passed, there are still people overlooking this place, never leaving?” Even Shenming was shocked.

“With so much time having passed, who do they even fight in this great era?” Shi Hao’s expression changed.

In that instant, he thought of something. Now that it floated high up in the sky, was this above Heaven Abyss?

Could it be them, the survivors of the true original Imperial Pass that were protecting the core of Heaven Abyss, watching over this path?

Outside New Imperial Pass, on the great desert, there was a Heaven Abyss that stopped undying beings and undying kings from crossing. No one could say for sure what exactly was the reason!

In this great era, during the early years, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were extremely calm, not threatened.

However, this place was different. The foreign creatures had always been trying to break through!

These people, these shabby-clothed sickly elders and children, was it them who were holding this place down, blocking at the very front?

“Clansman…” On the city, an elder stared at Shi Hao, looked at that symbol light flame that burned between his brows, speaking with difficulty, his old eyes revealing a bit of brilliance.
