Perfect World

Chapter 1540 - Ancestral Altar

Ancestral Altar, also known as Ancestral Sacrificial Altar.

There were broken walls everywhere here, stone engravings ancient, towering everywhere. There were historical remains buried below, many left behind from the great battle of the last great era.

It was located at the center of Imperial Pass, the most ancient divine land.

There were the remains of former generations here, inscribed tablets of immortals, sacrificial lands that had existed forever, sealed stone rooms. It was rumored that there was someone who had overlooked this place for an entire great era without leaving.

Meanwhile, the few unmatched beings in Imperial Pass also remained here year-round. Unless there was a great battle, they never showed themselves.

It was rumored that those people might be even older than Meng Tianzheng, Immortal Wang, and Jin Taijun, that they were existences at the same level.

The golden great path was too thick, extending who knew how many tens of thousands of li. Shi Hao and the others were directly led to the outer regions of this place. A group of people landed.

From the distance, hazy mist covered everything. The debris, broken walls, and others were all mottled with the passage of time, the great changes of history. This place was in ruins, yet it still gave off a profound aura, as if a piece of living history was right before their eyes.

Even though the world before them was overgrown, right now, it didn’t lack activity. Today was quite lively, because many creatures came, all of them sitting on the ground or floor.

None of these people entered the depths of Ancestral Altar, all sitting in the outer area, on giant rocks or ruins, discussing spiritedly here.

They were all well-known figures from various clans, their numbers great, not less than a hundred thousand people.

These creatures had all already obtained news that Huang brought back a wooden chest. This concerned too much, all of them wishing to see what would happen, thus gathering here.

Otherwise, they would definitely look for Shi Hao.

In the distance was a dilapidated palace, also some near the outer region. Normally, they were completely empty, no way anyone would reside within them.

However, right now, the dust had all been removed, primal chaos swirling about, everything indistinct, difficult to see the inside scene clearly.

One could vaguely see several extremely ancient figures sitting there, not moving. Even though their auras were restrained, as if petrified, one still couldn’t help but feel the urge to bow down.

Needless to say, these were all supreme beings. They had all already revived, quietly sitting here.

Jin Taijun was inside, and so was Immortal Wang, as well as the unmatched beings in Imperial Pass.

“Wait for a bit here, I will bring the wooden chest into the ancient palace.” A middle-aged woman carried a gentle smile, saying to Shi Hao, preparing to accept the wooden chest.

“I don’t mind crossing this bit of distance myself.” Shi Hao said. He took large steps forward, heading towards the ancestral altar, wishing to personally deliver the wooden chest.

“Who is this woman? It is Jin Family’s people again! They really are trying again and again, even wishing to stop Shi Hao from entering Ancestral Hall? Do you really think that’s possible?!” Cao Yusheng laughed coldly.

Powerful individuals gathered here, all of them experts from different clans. Shi Hao being able to come here naturally meant he would receive tremendous benefits, all clans had to praise his accomplishments.

There was actually someone who stopped him at the final few steps, wishing to imperceptibly reduce his limelight, not let him inside.

Of course, the middle-aged woman just now was extremely tactful and polite, if one didn’t think carefully about it, they really would have thought that she was acting out of courtesy, but this actually wasn’t the case.

Right now, the well-known figures of all different clans were turning around, looking towards the young man who walked in that direction. He rode on a golden lion, figure tall and straight, heroic aura restrained.

There were even more people whose eyes went round, staring at the wooden chest in his hands!

“This is Huang? This is the first time I’m meeting him, as expected, he is a heroic youngster!”

“We just received reports that he has already reached the mid-stage of Self Severing Realm. This really is inconceivable, breaking the record of this great era, first in history!”

A few people exclaimed with admiration, all of them developing some good impressions of him.

In many people’s eyes, Shi Hao had the courage to fight against the other side’s great army, forcibly seize this rotten wooden chest, this was definitely pulling the teeth from the mouth of a tiger!

This was something that one wouldn’t even think about before. Just how many people could survive under the encirclement of the foreign King Clans?

This youth was just too bold, fighting in Desolate Border alone, rumored to have already killed many young foreign experts, intimidating an entire generation of creatures.

This glorious achievement greatly raised Imperial Pass’ dignity, making people feel extremely comfortable. When they heard news of some of his battles, they all felt greatly refreshed.

It was because while fighting against the other side, most of the cultivators in Imperial Pass felt sullen, often nursing grievances. Now that this different case appeared, it really made them feel happy. The other side were slaughtered until an entire generation had to lower their heads, terror-stricken at the sight of Huang. This could be considered venting out a wave of resentment.

Shi Hao gave everyone his greetings. Then, he respectfully presented the wooden chest to the individuals in the ancient palace.

“Have a seat!”

A statue-like figure spoke, inviting Shi Hao to sit in the palace hall.

This could be considered a type of glory. Huang was treated favorably by supreme beings, while others didn’t have the right to approach that place.

Shi Hao didn’t feel any nervousness, directly sitting down. He felt a great pressure here, even if the supreme beings restrained their auras, the occasional glances that swept past made his blood surge.

Even without thinking, he knew that this was Jin Taijun looking at him, because that was an old woman’s figure.

The others’ gazes were peaceful, not releasing any pressure, only her gaze a bit intimidating. Of course, she didn’t take action, nor did she particularly pressure him, but there was just this suffocating feeling.

Immortal Wang also came. His appearance was extremely young, looking like he was only sixteen or seventeen years old, ridiculously young to the point of leaving others in disbelief.

Right now, he was seated in primal chaos, not expressing anything, gaze calm.

“My family’s lord wishes to use this chance to take a look.” Not far out, someone spoke.

This immediately triggered a passionate discussion. The clans’ known figures were all talking quietly, revealing his identity.

This was an elder who only had one leg. He sat on a great bluestone, next to him a bald large rooster, precisely his mount.

This person had previously appeared, coming from an unmatched restricted region in the Nine Heavens!

Back then, the reason he came to Imperial Pass was because he heard there was a damaged beast skin diagram that pointed out a region between Heavenly Beast Forest and Divine Medicine Mountain Range.

And now, Shi Hao opened that grave, bringing back a wooden chest, shocking the lord of the Nine Heavens’ restricted region, sending an emissary out once more.

Moreover, the single legged elder brought a shocking piece of information this time, extremely direct, informing all experts in Imperial Pass that this wooden chest might be able to create immortal king level experts!

This was undoubtedly shocking news, even the unmatched beings on Ancestral Altar unable to sit still. As for Jin Taijun and Immortal Wang, they even more so appeared in Imperial Pass!

He stated that this piece of information was a display of sincerity.

He informed the cultivators of Imperial Pass that the restricted region wouldn’t forcefully seize it, only wishing to borrow it to use after everyone in Imperial Pass researched it first, that they promised to return it.

That was why the current situation was extremely complicated!

If this rotten wooden chest really was this important, how could it be so easily lent out?

Everyone was confused why he was this direct. Was he not scared that Imperial Pass would not lend it out after learning that this was this kind of supreme treasure?

“Dao friends, please research it yourselves first.” The restricted regions’ emissary said.

Jin Taijun opened her eyes, looking towards the center of the palace hall. The wooden chest on the ground immediately appeared in her hands. She was the first one to move, starting to examine it.

Occasionally, her eyes would open and close, giving Shi Hao a few looks, her gaze intimidating.

“Please tell us all of your experiences after the rotten wooden chest appeared.” Jin Taijun said calmly.

Shi Hao didn’t have any good feelings towards her, really not wishing for the wooden chest he brought back to help her. However, right now, he could only speak about everything little by little, because he also hoped for the people here to be able to unravel this rotten wooden chest’s secrets, make the Nine Heavens Ten Earths more powerful.

Jin Taijun closed her eyes, not saying anything for a long time. The wooden chest remained in her hands for an entire hour, carefully sensing it.

Everyone saw that she was exerting force, searching with her divine will, trying to forcefully open up the wooden chest, but it was all useless.

In the end, she lowered the wooden chest.

Then, the other unmatched experts tried one after another. However, the results were the same, they couldn’t do anything to the wooden chest.

When it was Immortal Wang’s turn, he produced a palm length small halberd, cutting the wooden chest’s surface. Everyone’s expressions changed, this was the sect protecting immortal artifact!

“Dao friend, please rethink carefully!” A supreme being reminded, fearing that he might accidentally destroy the wooden chest.

However, unexpectedly, when the war halberd cut across the surface, the wooden chest was unaffected. It released gentle light, not being cut open.

This left everyone stupefied!

“I wish to ask for some guidance. Since the lord of the restricted region wants this wooden chest, why doesn’t he come for it personally?” Immortal Wang spoke, asking the single-legged elder.

“My family’s lord is not willing to incur such great karma.” The elder was neither overbearing nor servile, calmly replying.

“What do you mean?” Jin Taijun asked.

“This wooden chest has a great amount of karma, my family’s lord does not wish to be involved to avoid getting caught in the consequences later.” The elder said quietly.

“What?” Even as a supreme being, Jin Taijun couldn’t help but suck in a cold breath of air, expression immediately changing.

The others were alarmed. Just what kind of karma was this? For even someone from the restricted region to have to be dealt with? Everyone who heard this shuddered!

One had to understand that the restricted regions’ existences were known to have existed forever with the world, some of them not as simple as just making it through a single great era. When the foreign side slaughtered their way over back then, none of them were willing to get involved.

“He returned...” The single-footed elder said, moreover telling them that this was what he subconsciously said to himself after doing everything he could to see a corner of the future.

The youngsters who came together with Shi Hao all trembled, because the elder had already told them this the first time he came, not just saying it once.

“Please have a seat of honor!” Jin Taijun spoke seriously, personally bringing out a praying mat, inviting the elder to speak about this in detail. The atmosphere was extremely heavy!
