The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 3022 - 2997: The Origins of the Southern Continent Divine Gate
Previously on The Unparalleled Sword Emperor...
Hearing the bald elder suddenly mention the legacy of the Beast-controlling Ancestor within the Qingyun Mountain Range, Lin Bai suddenly had a bad premonition.
At this moment, Lin Bai recalled that when he and Ye Suxin were about to leave Fire Lotus Mountain, the people from the Tianji Tribe left too; this was by no means coincidental.
"I don’t understand what you’re talking about?" Lin Bai looked puzzled at the bald elder and said.
The bald elder chuckled: "I knew you wouldn’t admit it!"
While speaking, the bald elder took out a Recording Orb from the storage bag and placed it in front of Lin Bai. Inside, scenes were flashing, remarkably showing Lin Bai fiercely battling the nine-headed snake on Manwu River.
And the final sword, Lin Bai cut off one of the nine-headed snake’s heads, that sword was shocking beyond compare.
The bald elder said: "Doesn’t this scene look familiar? Isn’t it the scene of you fighting the nine-headed snake on Manwu River once upon a time?"
"You don’t need to deny it, I know you!"
"With your cultivation, forget about cutting off the nine-headed snake’s head, even injuring it is extremely difficult!"
"Yet that final astounding sword was none other than the Dragon Slaying Skill!"
"Do you still want to argue?"
"Within the Qingyun Mountain Range, the legacy of the Beast-controlling Ancestor and the Dragon Slaying Skill both fell into your hands!"
The bald elder said firmly.
Lin Bai protected Ye Suxin, coldly saying: "Looks like you all came prepared. Even if I obtained the legacy and the Dragon Slaying Skill, what do you intend to do?"
The bald elder laughed and said: "I want to invite you to join the Tianji Tribe!"
Lin Bai shook his head and said: "Sorry, not interested!"
The bald elder chuckled: "Don’t be so quick to refuse, I know the Tianji Tribe is just an insignificant tribe on the Southern Continent, but behind our Tianji Tribe, we have the backing of the Southern Continent Divine Gate!"
"What do you think? Interested?"
The bald elder asked.
Lin Bai questioned with suspicion: "Southern Continent Divine Gate?"
The bald elder chuckled: "That’s right, the Southern Continent Divine Gate was founded by the divine spirits on the Southern Continent back in the day!"
Lin Bai was puzzled and confused.
Ye Suxin now whispered in Lin Bai’s ear: "During the Primordial Era, when prehistoric giant beasts ruled, there were warriors who sacrificed to these beasts, willingly offering themselves for the beasts to devour, seeking the beasts’ protection for their tribes’ safety!"
"In those years, warriors hadn’t flourished yet, and many tribes on the Southern Continent worshipped a giant beast, praying for its protection. Every year, hundreds, thousands, even tens of thousands of humans were offered for the giant beast to devour!"
"The warriors within the tribes were limited, so these beast-worshipping tribes began to expand aggressively, defeating other tribes, using warriors from other tribes to offer to the beasts!"
"Later, as martial arts flourished and the Dragon Slaying Skill emerged, warriors started resisting the beasts’ slaughter, constantly killing them with swift sword strikes!"
"The era of the giant beasts gradually ended!"
"And these tribes that once worshipped beasts couldn’t bear to see their worshipped beasts killed, so they started retaliating, fighting with the other tribes that slew the beasts!"
"Eventually, the beasts were slain by the Dragon Slaying Skill, and those tribes that lived off worshipping beasts, treating them as divine spirits, were gradually wiped out by other tribes on the Southern Continent!"
"But still, some remnants of those tribes that worshipped beasts survived!"
"After the Primordial Era ended, these remnants called themselves the Southern Continent Divine Gate, attempting to restore the era of beast worship from back then!"
"Do know, these tribes that worshipped beasts were once the supreme rulers on the Southern Continent, but the emergence of the Dragon Slaying Skill exterminated many beasts, causing not only beast deaths but also the rapid downfall of these ruler-level tribes, naturally leaving them deeply resentful!"
"On the Southern Continent, almost every few years, these exterminated Southern Continent Divine Gate remnants revive, stirring up huge waves again!"
"Each time, the Southern Continent Martial Artists want to exterminate the Divine Gate warriors completely, yet some still survive, lurking on the Southern Continent, waiting for another rise!"
"Lin Bai, the Southern Continent Divine Gate is the public enemy of Southern Continent Martial Artists!"
"They aren’t just the public enemy of Southern Continent Martial Artists; once the Southern Continent Divine Gate almost peaked in Southern Continent martial arts, and at that time, coincidentally, a family adept with poison thwarted the Divine Gate’s plot, shattering their scheme!"
"And in that moment, this family elevated to godhood, becoming the present-day Poison God Family!"
Ye Suxin softly whispered in Lin Bai’s ear.
Hearing Ye Suxin’s words, Lin Bai gained a basic understanding of the Southern Continent Divine Gate.
After the Primordial Era, the tribes worshipping beasts were slaughtered to extinction, but later, the unrelenting remnants stirred up huge waves again, eventually crushed by the Poison God Family.
And it was also at that time, the Poison God Family settled in the Southern Continent, becoming the mythical family in the hearts of the Southern Continent Martial Artists, as they once saved the Southern Continent from disasters!
Lin Bai calmly looked at the bald elder, saying: "You dare to openly admit you’re from the Southern Continent Divine Gate in front of me, aren’t you afraid I’ll expose this?"
"You must know, since the Primordial Era, your Southern Continent Divine Gate has been the public enemy on the Southern Continent!"
The bald elder laughed: "Hahaha, the Divine Gate won’t perish; it will eventually flourish! Since the Primordial Era, our Divine Gate has aimed to overturn this martial arts world, returning to those orthodox times!"
"Yet although ultimately we failed, have the Southern Continent Martial Artists truly eradicated the Divine Gate over these years?"
"I hardly think so!"
"The Divine Gate won’t perish; it’s heavenly protection; this is Tiandao’s revelation!"
"It also affirms, our Divine Gate’s correctness!"
The bald elder declared righteously.
Lin Bai scoffed, replying: "Forget it, I’m not interested in the Southern Continent and even less in the Divine Gate!"
The bald elder playfully said: "Aren’t you really going to reconsider?"
Lin Bai shook his head: "No need!"
The bald elder said helplessly: "Alright then, if that’s the case, don’t blame us for being impolite!"
As he spoke, Liu Yuan, Scholar Ye Jing, and Violent-tempered Woman Qin Yijun circled in, surrounding Lin Bai and Ye Suxin.
"What? Intend to take action?" Lin Bai sneered and asked.
The bald elder sneered: "The Dragon Slaying Skill and Qiankun Beast-controlling Art on you are essential to our Divine Gate; and now that you’ve discovered our identity, we seem to have no reason not to act against you!"
"This place’s scenery is pleasant, perfect for burying someone!"
"Moreover, within Manwu River, who knows how many warriors have died there; should you die here, you won’t be lonely in the future!"
The bald elder looked at the scenery flanking Manwu River and chuckled lightly.
"Today is not my death day!" Lin Bai replied coldly with a smile.
The bald elder laughed arrogantly: "Do you think you have any strength to resist me with my Wending Realm cultivation?"
Lin Bai laughed: "Just the mere sixth level of the Wending Realm, what qualifications do you have to boast in front of me?"
