Chapter 5308: Secret of the Ancient Realm
Boom!
As the earth quaked, another ten more monuments surfaced These ten monuments didn’t contain Chu Xuanyan’s name, and they looked visibly newer too
“Why did another ten more Ancestral Divine Monuments appear?”
The crowd from the Ancient Realm was perplexed Only eleven people had entered their Ancient Realm, so it didn’t make sense for another ten more to appear
Shoosh!+
While the croas struggling to make sense of the situation, ten chains suddenly rose froround and shackled the ten Ancestral Divine Monuround finally dissipated, signaling the end of the phenomenon
“They have been locked up Does it mean that the additional ten Ancestral Divine Monuments aren’t to be used for the Ancestral Ritual?”
The chief and elders of the Ancient Realm understood the symbolism behind the chains, but if those additional Ancestral Divine Monuments weren’t to be used for the Ancestral Ritual, what could their eence represent?
The Ancient Real bizarrely this time around Even those who had lived in the Ancient Realm for many years were unable to make sense of it
In truth, the invitations that had been sent out every year were done under the orders of the Ancient Realm’s Ancestral Idol It was under the orders of the Ancestral Idol that they had sent out more invitations than usual, but what happened every step of the asn’t so of the wooden gate leading into the Ancient Real The shackled Ancestral Divine Monuet some hints about as to come, but the outcome was beyond their control
“Lord Chief!”
The elders of the Ancient Realm looked at their chief orried faces
They could ignore the ongoing tests, but thethe Ancestral Divine Monu step here could cost them their lives On top of that, they wanted to know the purpose behind the additional ten Ancestral Divine Monuments
“Invite Lord Ancestor,” the Ancient Realm’s chief ordered
A few elders headed off
Not too long later, they returned with a sedan They opened the sedan and revealed an old man seated inside The old ave off an ancient aura
However, the elder had slanted eyes andrespects to Lord Ancestor!”
The Ancient Realm’s chief and the other elders kneeled down and koed to the oldhe was curious about, but the oldas if he had lost his mind
“Why is it like that? It has already been five years now, but Lord Ancestor still isn’t saying a word! Lord Chief, is it possible that the prophecy is off? Is it even possible for Lord Ancestor to be reincarnated?” an elder asked ht shrouding Lord Ancestor? Do you think that can be faked? Why would such light shroud him if he isn’t the reincarnation of Lord Ancestor?” the Ancient Realm’s chief bellowed
The elder hurriedly koed and apologized However, the other elders couldn’t help narrowing their eyes in skepticises now, but there were hardly any records on their ancestor Even their predecessors didn’t know eneration was that they were trapped in the Ancient Realy to cultivate
Every now and then, the Ancestral Idol would spit out Sacred Temple Beads and order them to invite various people over The invitees would have to clear some simple tests, and those who passed the final test will be entitled to the best Sacred Temple Bead
Of course, there was a trade-off
The people of the Ancient Realers would have a portion of their energy sapped during the tests The energy could be recovered later on, and it wouldn’t inflict any pere on the cultivators
This process was also known as the Ancestral Ritual
It was an important ritual because the people of the Ancient Realy bestowed upon them from the Ancestral Idol for survival Should the Ancestral Ritual fail and the Ancestral Idol stop providing theoners
The people of the Ancient Real they could do about it They were unable to leave the Ancient Realether with the Ancient Realm
Outsiders saw them as the master of the Ancient Realm, but they saw themselves as the servants of the Ancestral Idol They had no freedoo The Ancestral Idol prophesied that an ancestor of the Ancient Real in this world This ancestor would soon reincarnate in the Ancient Reale news to the people of the Ancient Realm This meant that their ancestor would be able to provide theuidance
Shortly after the prophecy, one of the elders in the Ancient Realht that he had fallen ill, but unique glowing runes soon appeared around him These runes emanated an air of divinity and exerted bloodline suppression on those from the Ancient Realm
This led the people to think that their ancestor had reincarnated into the body of this elder Thus, they began worshi+ping the elder as their ancestor
Five years had passed since then, but the elder’s mental state didn’t improve at all He didn’t even speak at all, let alone provide theuidance
This confused the people of the Ancient Realm
