The Unparalleled Sword Emperor

Chapter 3017: Chapter 2992: Ancient Ancestors!

As Hu Qi and others ascended Fire Lotus Mountain, Lin Bai did not hurry to leave but waited beneath the mountain foot.

Half a day later, Hu Qi descended from the ancient path on Fire Lotus Mountain.

Lin Bai clasped his fists and said, "Hu Qi, how is it? Can I go up and have a discussion with Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures?"

Hu Qi shook his head, a slight smile appearing on his face, "No need, Lin Bai, Master has already made a decision, and we, as disciples, can’t intervene!"

"However, we have agreed with Master that the five of us disciples will stay to assist Master in refining this sword blade. After that, the five of us will leave Fire Lotus Mountain!"

"And after Master has refined this weapon, he will probably retreat from the world!"

Lin Bai was taken aback, the guilt in his heart hard to erase, and said clasping his fists, "Hu Qi, I..."

Hu Qi laughed, "I know, Lin Bai, you don’t need to say more, I understand the guilt in your heart, but this is Master’s choice, and we have no right to interfere!"

"Besides, he feels that being able to help you refine this sword blade is his honor and destiny!"

"He feels that living on the Barbaric Ancient Continent for five hundred years was just to wait for this day!"

"Since that’s the case, why should we, as disciples, stop it!"

"You don’t need to apologize or feel guilty; it’s all Master’s choice!"

"We are still brothers!"

Hu Qi smiled and patted Lin Bai’s shoulder.

"Come, let’s find a place to drink!" Hu Qi pulled Lin Bai and walked towards his residence.

In Hu Qi’s residence, Hu Qi brought out a lot of Blaze Wine, stood with Lin Bai, and drank heartily.

The two sat in the courtyard, drinking a lot of wine and talking about a lot of things.

Hu Qi told Lin Bai how he got under the tutelage of the Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures and how he went to the East Continent.

Lin Bai said lightly, "I see, you and your four Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters are all orphans, adopted as disciples by Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures!"

Hu Qi nodded, "Yes, Master found me in a mountain forest, said my parents were killed, and I was carried away by a tiger. At that time, I was an infant, and survived by drinking tiger’s milk!"

"I heard from Senior Brother that when Master found me, I was on the verge of death, and being an infant, I couldn’t take Elixir Pills; my body couldn’t bear such potency!"

"So Master carefully took care of me, not leaving me for seven whole days!"

"After seven days, I finally began to recover!"

"That’s why Master named me Hu Qi!"

"Living by drinking tiger’s milk for seven days, Hu Qi!"

When Hu Qi mentioned Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures, his eyes were filled with gratitude.

Lin Bai’s emotions were slightly low; if this sword blade pushed Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures towards death, making Hu Qi uneasy for life, it would make Lin Bai live in self-blame forever.

Hu Qi laughed, "Lin Bai, let’s not talk about these things! Come, drink!"

"I know you’ve drunk a lot of wine, but the Blaze Wine from Fire Lotus Mountain is unparalleled under Heaven; once you’re out of Fire Lotus Mountain, you won’t find it anywhere!"

"I used to think of it often while I was in the East Continent!"

Hu Qi said with a smile.

Lin Bai raised his glass, chuckling silently.

Hu Qi sighed deeply, "Ah, it’s a pity, it’s just the two of us today; if they were here, it would be great!"

Lin Bai said, slightly ashamed, "If it weren’t for me, during the battle with the Great Witch Dynasty, they wouldn’t have had to flee and live in exile!"

Hu Qi laughed, "Lin Bai, don’t suppress it like my Master; it’s my Master’s choice, and the battle with the Great Witch Dynasty was also our choice!"

"To this day, none of us has ever regretted!"

"A man living in the world should make some choices that astonish the heavens!"

Lin Bai laughed lightly, "Perhaps! I remember you left Shenwu Kingdom with them, where did they go?"

Hu Qi said, "Yes, I indeed left Shenwu Kingdom with them; Yin Jiuling, Ning, and I came to the Southern Continent together!"

"The Tian Can four seem to have returned to the Qitian Area; it is said that the Tian Can clan got into a fight with another large family in the Qitian Area, and he went back to help!"

"And the Old Man and the Barbarian, I have no idea where they went!"

"After we left Shenwu Kingdom, the Old Man and the Barbarian left!"

Lin Bai said in surprise, "Yin Jiuling and Ning are in the Southern Continent?"

Hu Qi nodded, "Yes, but after we arrived in the Southern Continent, I returned to Fire Lotus Mountain, and I wanted to invite them over, but Ning seemed to be looking for someone, so Yin Jiuling went with Ning!"

Lin Bai nodded in sudden realization, "Where did the Old Man and the Barbarian go? These two seem to have something peculiar in their hearts!"

Hu Qi nodded, "Lin Bai, I feel that the Old Man and the Barbarian are not simple people; their appearance in the East Continent is definitely not by chance!"

"Moreover, have you noticed that the Old Man and the Barbarian have one of the Ten Great Magical Artifacts on the Barbaric Ancient Continent, the Eternal Life Tablet?"

"I heard from Master before that the Ten Great Magical Artifacts on the Barbaric Ancient Continent are related to an ancient tomb!"

"And that Eternal Life Tablet, I heard from Master, is something inside that ancient tomb, something no one can take away!"

"But I don’t know why the Old Man and the Barbarian could actually carry the Eternal Life Tablet out!"

Hu Qi said in a low voice.

"Ancient tomb?" Lin Bai was stunned, recalling the time inside the Dragon Pool of the Qinglong Clan when he accidentally saw those broken fragments; he knew the Demon Sword appeared from an ancient tomb.

Lin Bai asked curiously, "What ancient tomb?"

Hu Qi shook his head and said, "I don’t know; Master seems very reluctant to mention this matter!"

"But from Master’s words and what I’ve read in the documents inside Fire Lotus Mountain, that ancient tomb seems to be related to the Ancient Ancestors!"

Lin Bai was surprised and said, "Ancient Ancestors?"

Hu Qi smiled lightly, "They are the pioneers of the Barbaric Ancient Continent!"

"Lin Bai, you should know that the Barbaric Ancient Continent was created from a period of the Primordial Era, and once, Strong Ones traversed the void to enter the Barbaric Ancient Continent and passed down Martial Art, which gave rise to the Human Clan!"

"Through countless developments over the years, the Human Clan has reached today’s glory!"

"And those people have been referred to as Ancient Ancestors!"

Lin Bai listened to Hu Qi’s words, entranced.

Hu Qi continued, "But that period of time is too distant from us, probably tens of millions of years from the Primordial Era to our current era!"

"Even when the Pangu Sect came to the Barbaric Ancient Continent, the Ten Great Magical Artifacts already existed on the Barbaric Ancient Continent!"

Lin Bai said coldly, "It seems the origin of the Ten Great Magical Artifacts is indeed a mystery!"

"Yes, the mystery of the Ten Great Magical Artifacts is something that so many warriors on the Barbaric Ancient Continent want to explore, but over the years, no one has been able to understand the secrets of the Ten Great Magical Artifacts!"

While speaking, Hu Qi glanced at a black chopping knife on the table, his eyes deep and profound.
