At this time, Shao Yu sighed emotionally, "People die for wealth, and birds die for food. I don't know what happened to me in the past, but I got hot-headed and snatched an Ancient Tomb Token, and then inexplicably came here. After coming here and witnessing the slaughter here, only now do I regret it. But regretting is already useless. There's no one to feel pity for my rotten life here, so I'll give it my all. If I can obtain the inheritance of the 'Seven Monarchs', I'd be willing to die …"
Shao Yu's unintentional sighing attracted Long Chen's attention. Long Chen hurriedly asked, "Brother Yu, what is the inheritance of the Seven Monarchs you speak of?"
"Why did you come to the Primordial Cemetery if you don't even know this?"
Shao Yu was truly a bit speechless towards Long Chen. He paused for a moment, then explained, "In this Primordial Cemetery, there are countless treasures left behind by the experts of the Middle Ages. Some people obtained these treasures and returned to the Myriad Kingdoms Domain to become experts worthy of respect. Among the Nine Great Clans, besides the old Five Element Alliance, basically all rose up because of the treasures in the Primordial Cemetery. The most classic ones are the God Clan and Demon Clan. They rose up later, but in a short period of time, they became the most powerful force in the Myriad Kingdoms Domain, and that's because they obtained the inheritance of the 'Seven Monarchs'." Shao Yu's face revealed an excited expression, his eyes filled with yearning.
"Even the God Clan and Demon Clan rose up because of the treasures in the Primordial Cemetery."
Long Chen was slightly startled. To be able to reach such a strong degree, it could be seen that the treasures in the Primordial Cemetery were truly powerful.
"As everyone knows, there are countless treasures in the Primordial Cemetery. Divine weapons, magic treasures, spiritual medicines, combat skills, and even many mystical items. Among them, the most famous is the inheritance of the 'Seven Monarchs'. This is the wish of every cultivator who comes to the Primordial Cemetery."
Long Chen didn't know about the Seven Monarchs, he only knew about the treasures of the Five Emperors. This was the information he obtained from the five-colored key. Legend has it that the Five Emperors of the Myriad Kingdoms Domain were buried in the Primordial Cemetery. Why was it that Shao Yu didn't say the inheritance of the Five Emperors, but the inheritance of the Seven Monarchs?
"Seven Lords? What do they do? Don't they have the legacy of the Five Emperors?" Long Chen asked curiously.
Shao Yu looked at him with an incorrigible gaze, and said with his eyes wide open, "Five emperors, the inheritance of the five emperors, this kind of thing only exists in legends. No one has been able to obtain any information about it for countless years, and no one even believes it. How could this thing possibly exist? The inheritance of the seven lords, that's the most realistic, and it's also the greatest treasure in the Primeval Cemetery."
Long Chen thought to himself, "It seems that no one has ever been able to find the Five Emperors' treasure. What's the deal with the five-colored key I obtained this time and the Five Emperors' Seal that I have now?"
Long Chen could only keep this doubt in his heart for the time being.
At this time, Shao Yu told him about the Seven Lords.
"In the Middle Ages, among the experts that followed the Five Emperors in their campaigns, there were seven that were the most famous. They were the experts that later generations called the 'Seven Lords'. According to legends, they were only a step away from the God Martial Arts Realm, because they were existences at the peak of the Sky Martial Arts Realm. They had a lifespan of more than two thousand years. Among the Seven Lords, there were the Demon God Imperial Lord, the White Lotus Fairy, the Green Lotus Emperor, the Mysterious Flame Lord, the Seven Luminaries Star Lords, and so on. Among them, the inheritance of the Demon God Imperial Lord and the White Lotus Fairy has already been obtained, but the inheritance of the other five Emperors still exist in the Primeval Cemetery. You should be able to guess who obtained the inheritance of the Demon God Imperial Lord and the White Lotus Fairy."
In the Myriad Kingdoms Territory, there were the powerful God and Demon Races. Without a doubt, the God and Demon Races obtained the inheritance of the Demon God Imperial Lord and the White Lotus Fairy respectively, which was why they had such a situation today. In other words, the God and Demon Races were created by the White Lotus Fairy and the Demon God Imperial Lord.
Naturally, Long Chen could guess it.
The experts at the peak of the Sky Martial Arts Realm had long since ceased to exist in the Myriad Kingdoms Territory. The inheritance left behind by such experts was revered as the most precious treasure by the billions of people in the Myriad Kingdoms Territory. This was naturally within reason. The inheritance of the Demon God Imperial Lord and the White Lotus Fairy could create the God and Demon Races. From this, it could be seen how terrifying the inheritance of the Seven Lords was.
"If I can also obtain the inheritance of one of the Emperors …" As Long Chen listened, he also had such a desire in his heart. He temporarily had no desire for the treasures of the Five Emperors in the legends. However, if Long Chen could obtain one of the inheritances of the Seven Lords, he would have something to rely on when he went to the Three Great Imperial Domains in the future.
"There are still five inheritances that haven't been obtained yet. It seems that I can fight for them. If I can obtain these inheritances, defeat the Young Master of the God Race and bring Xiao Lang back, I think there's hope."
Now, in front of Long Chen, the urgent matter that needed to be resolved was Xiao Lang. If he didn't bring Xiao Lang back, Long Chen's heart would be very uneasy. Although Xiao Lang said that there was no problem and that he could protect his life, what if something unexpected happened? What if the Young Master of the God Race went berserk? What if the Young Master of the God Race had some terrifying methods to deal with Xiao Lang?
These were all things that were very likely to happen.
"If something happens to Xiao Lang, I will bury the entire God Race with me. It doesn't matter if I'm strong enough or not, I will." Long Chen fiercely clenched his teeth and secretly swore.
Thinking of the Young Master of the God Race's contemptuous smile, Long Chen had an urge to pinch him to death.
"Let's wait and see …" Long Chen put down his fist and stabilized his emotions. "Brother Long Chen, what's wrong?
Do you also want to obtain the inheritance of the Seven Lords? Haha, I think you have a lot of hope. If you work hard and preserve your life, you might really be able to do so. As for me, Shao Yu, I have no family background, no potential, no looks, no connections, and no hard work. Everything about me is ordinary. People like me deserve to die early. I don't have any special characteristics. The only special characteristic I have is that I'm fat enough. "
Shao Yu laughed mischievously. But how could Long Chen hear that there was a hint of helplessness in his laughter?
Indeed, in life, many people were ordinary. There was nothing special about them, and they wouldn't be remembered by others. Sometimes, they even looked down on themselves. Before Long Chen left Poplar Village, he was such a person. Every day, he just ate and waited for death. He couldn't find any purpose or courage to live.
In the instant that Long Qinglan closed his eyes, in the instant that Ling Xi left, Long Chen was like a tightly wound machine. He did not know fatigue, he was fearless. He had embarked on this long and seemingly futureless journey, and it was only then that he discovered that he had his own life and goals.
As for Shao Yu, he was in the same state as Long Chen a long time ago. He had no life and no purpose. He was very ordinary, and everything was just going with the flow. If fate wanted him to die one day, he would naturally die. Other than a pile of dirt, there was no trace of him.
Long Chen didn't know how to tell him this.
"Do you have your own purpose? What kind of person do you want to be?" Long Chen suddenly asked.
Shao Yu was startled. "Purpose? I don't know. My parents are gone, and so is the person I like. The only reason I'm alive is probably because I'm afraid of death. If you hadn't saved me just now, I would have been scared to death by myself."
"…"
These were all his own matters. Long Chen was also very helpless. He was somewhat glad that his life was different from Shao Yu's. Although it was very tiring, it was very fulfilling. Otherwise, he would feel that he was a very pitiful person.
Walking on this dark brown iron sand land, the road here was actually not smooth. Sometimes, there would even be a huge mountain completely made of rusty metal piled up on the side. A desolate rusty smell wafted over, causing Long Chen to feel a little nauseous.
The wind that came from all directions also carried this disgusting smell.
In the process of rushing, everyone encountered another Demon Beast attack. This time, it was just a Grade 4 King Level Scorpion. Its body was covered in black metal, and its eyes were full of fierceness. A trivial Grade 4 King Level Scorpion dared to attack everyone. Soon, it was directly killed by a tall warrior next to Venomous Vulture.
After the warrior killed the scorpion, he cast a provocative look at Long Chen. Long Chen turned a blind eye to it.
He already knew a lot of things from Shao Yu's mouth. The reason why he still stayed here was because he felt that he couldn't just watch Shao Yu become someone else's cannon fodder. Long Chen was a very loyal person. Shao Yu had called him brother, so he would remember it in his heart.
After crossing a short mountain made of metal and iron, the sound of fighting suddenly came from the front. Everyone's complexion changed. Except for Long Chen and Shao Yu, everyone else surrounded Venomous Vulture, their eyes cold and bloodthirsty.
"Let's go and take a look quietly. If there's an advantage, we'll take it."
Venomous Vulture said gloomily. Everyone followed him, crawling forward. At this time, they were less than a mile away. Long Chen could easily see the situation over there through his Spirit Devouring Demon Eye.
At this time, there were two groups of people fighting each other. The fight had already come to an end, and the scene was quite tragic. There were blood and corpses everywhere. The two groups originally had five or six people, but now there were only two people left fighting.
"Bastard, you killed so many of my brothers. Hand over the axe, and I can spare your life."
Such a voice came from the front. Long Chen and the others moved forward a little more, and they could see the situation in front with their naked eyes. After seeing it, Venomous Vulture and the others suddenly revealed a look of surprise. The two opposite teams had died, and only two people were left fighting. The scene was full of corpses and blood. It was a mess.
Both sides were very ruthless, so broken arms and other things were everywhere.
The one who had just spoken was a relatively short martial artist. Another yellow-clothed man was madly fighting with him. The yellow-clothed man fiercely roared, "We obviously obtained this axe, but you came to snatch it. Your brother deserves to die. If you don't leave, I'll kill you too."
"Dream on. Go to hell, Primordial Finger Spear."
