My gorgeous wife Chapter 1941: 1910: The Four Emperors and the Four Emperors Territory

"Four Emperors Territory?"

Upon seeing the details, Li Chen’s gaze held a flicker of bewilderment. He observed that many Martial Artists, upon receiving this information, displayed clear signs of anxiety and departed swiftly after brief exchanges with him.

Before long, all Martial Artists, save for those under Li Changkong and Li Bihai’s guidance, had vanished. This clearly indicated the profound significance of the matter to them as well.

Li Changkong’s countenance still mirrored confusion, whereas Li Bihai’s expression grew considerably more somber.

"The Four Emperors' Territory has materialized, and its appearance has alerted individuals from the other Three Realms. This presents a significant predicament," Li Bihai stated, his brow furrowed.

Noticing the puzzled looks on the faces of those present, Li Bihai finally addressed the apparent ignorance. "You all appear unfamiliar with the Four Emperors' Territory?"

Li Changkong’s own face registered surprise. "I am unaware of it as well."

Li Bihai’s expression turned grim. "I’ve advised you against being so engrossed with your spear; you ought to dedicate more time to reading. For decades you’ve resided in the Heaven Realm, yet you’ve never heeded my counsel?"

A touch of embarrassment crossed Li Changkong’s features as he stroked his head, quieting himself obediently.

Casting his gaze upon the assembled individuals, Li Bihai proceeded to elucidate. "This knowledge is something I unearthed from ancient texts. Those who have spent a substantial period cultivating within the Borderland Realm should also possess some familiarity with it."

Indeed, despite their attained formidable power, their lifespans were mere decades, a stark contrast to the ancient beings who endured for hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years, thus limiting their grasp of historical events.

"Legend tells us that in the unfathomable ancient past, preceding even the recent era, the Four Great Realms coalesced when four supremely powerful emperors made their escape from a cataclysmic war that engulfed the entirety of the Starry Universe," Li Bihai recounted.

This narrative resonated with Li Chen, evoking a sense of familiarity.

Four potent emperors? Fleeing a colossal conflict that spanned the vast Starry Universe?

"During that epoch, the Four Realms were not embroiled in their current state of animosity but rather coexisted harmoniously, interdependent and developing collectively, with these four formidable emperors jointly safeguarding them," Li Bihai continued, unpausing for Li Chen’s reaction. "This harmonious existence persisted until a considerably later period when the four emperors discerned that the Four Realms had sufficiently recovered from the ravages of the war."

A peculiar glint entered Li Bihai’s eyes; these ancient tales were previously relegated to mere folklore, and he had not anticipated their veracity, a sentiment echoed by the palpable reactions of the gathered Martial Artists.

"On a specific day, the four paramount emperors convened and resolved to depart from the Four Realms. Their objective was to embark on an expedition into the surrounding Starry Universe, with the ambition of extending the dominion of the Four Realms. Given the profound Cultivation of these four emperors, their exploratory endeavors proceeded without significant impediment, until… they discovered a fractured yet immense continent."

As Li Bihai’s words unfolded, a singular name materialized in nearly every consciousness simultaneously.

The Ancient Battle Realm!

"Precisely, it was the Ancient Battle Realm," Li Bihai affirmed, shaking his head. "The discovery of the Ancient Battle Realm is attributed to the four emperors."

"At that juncture, the Ancient Battle Realm presented a vastly different aspect than its present state – characterized by an exceedingly harsh environment and scarce signs of life, a desolate and broken land. The ambition of the four emperors was to reshape this world, transforming it into a new territory for the Four Great Star Realms."

"In accordance with this grand design, the four emperors dispatched communications back to the Great Realms under their purview, conveying their intention to develop this newly discovered realm into a nascent haven for beings from the Four Realms once their renovation efforts were complete."

"And then what transpired?" Li Changkong interjected, a sense of fascination piqued by the unexpected narrative woven into otherwise monotonous texts.

"Then… the four emperors never graced their realms with their return," Li Bihai stated somberly. "The precise circumstances of their fate remain an enigma; irrespective of the cause, the inhabitants of the Four Realms ceased receiving any communication from the Four Emperors. The meticulously established order orchestrated by the Four Emperors eventually faltered and disintegrated years after their enigmatic disappearance, ushering the Four Realms into an era of independent development, persisting until… the onset of the Ancient Times War."

"However, subsequent to the vanishing of the Four Emperors, numerous formidable cultivators also embarked on quests to uncover any traces of their whereabouts. It was during these investigations that the existence of the Ancient Battle Realm came to light. The Four Emperors themselves had alluded to the Ancient Battle Realm in their communications with other powerful figures from the Four Realms, thereby igniting a widespread search for it, fueled by the hope of discovering the emperors' ultimate destination."

Li Bihai sighed, a hint of wonder in his voice. "The prevailing legend asserts that the Four Emperors were all peerless experts, transcending the Soul Realm and attaining the elusive Palm Realm. The ultimate reason behind their simultaneous disappearance continues to be a profound mystery that endures to this day."

“But you still haven’t explained what these legends have to do with the Four Emperors Territory,” Bai Tianyi asked, supporting her chin cutely with both hands.

Li Bihai waved his hand. “The Four Emperors Territory was most likely the secret realm relic jointly created by the Four Emperors before their demise.”

“Demise?” Li Chen's brow furrowed. “Didn’t you say the Four Emperors only disappeared? Who actually witnessed their fall?”

Li Bihai chuckled bitterly. “The Four Emperors Territory was a secret realm later discovered by explorers of the Ancient Battle Realm. Moreover, it was a newly established secret realm back then; one could distinctly feel various fresh auras of laws within it.”

“Within the Four Emperors Territory, powerful individuals discovered many Treasure Artifacts, Magic Artifacts, Rune Pills, Cultivation Techniques, and Divine Skills once wielded by the Four Emperors… and also traces of their blood.”

“Legend has it that Palm Realm Powerhouses had completely surpassed the conventional definitions of ordinary life, breaking through to another level in their Life Level. They were essentially a different form of life, physiologically distinct from ordinary beings… You should be able to grasp this concept, correct?” Li Bihai glanced at Li Chen.

Li Chen nodded, as they all hailed from a Main World and were privy to such theories.

“The Four Emperors Territory was designed with numerous trials and tests, and only those who succeeded could obtain the many legacies left behind by the Four Emperors. In the past, some strong individuals passed several tests and claimed some items from the Four Emperors. However, later, when they gathered more manpower and returned to the Ancient Battle Realm, the Four Emperors Territory had vanished.”

“In the years that followed, the Four Emperors Territory would occasionally reappear in the Ancient Battle Realm. Regardless of which realm discovered it, those who entered often reaped immense benefits after overcoming the trials. Consequently, each appearance of the Four Emperors Territory sent great ripples throughout the Four Realms. But despite the Four Emperors Territory enduring, the Four Emperors themselves never reappeared, leading many to conclude that they might have truly fallen.”

“Now, do you understand why those individuals were in such a rush?”

Li Chen and the others nodded.

Isn’t it obvious? Because that relic was left behind by Palm Realm Powerhouses!
