Chapter 49: Three Emperors Arrive at the Gate

Jin Zhan Tian, Feather Ascension Emperor, Wisdom Zen Master — the three simultaneously leapt up, heading for Longevity Gate!

At the same time, their thoughts drifted back to over twenty thousand years ago……

At that time, they were still very young!

Back then, the Primordial Myriad Races, Feather Ascension Divine Dynasty, Great Thunder Sound Temple, Ancient Ji Clan, Ancient Wang Clan were all top-tier Emperor-level orthodox traditions on the Nine Provinces Continent!

Each orthodox tradition had three Emperor Realm cultivators seated in charge, in an unprecedented period of prosperity!

Even in the Myriad Heavens and Worlds they had made a name for themselves!

But ever since they each pulled out one Emperor Realm Elder Ancestor from their traditions, who went together to Longevity Gate to block its rise, everything changed!!

Five Emperor Realm cultivators simultaneously arrived at Azure Province, their terrifying aura made all beings of Azure Province look upon them with fear, bearing a semblance of showing off military might—what a grand momentum!

These five Emperor Realm powerhouses are indeed the representatives of the five most ancient orthodox traditions on the Nine Provinces Continent!

They seemed to loudly proclaim to all forces of the Nine Provinces Continent: "You want to rise? Sorry, we just won't let you rise!"

At that time, everyone thought that the newly risen Longevity Gate would soon be destroyed!

Who could withstand the assault of the five Emperor Realm cultivators?

Who would have thought, Longevity Gate sent forth a white-clad youth who blocked the path of the five Emperor Realm cultivators; with a single sword strike, he easily instant-killed the five Emperor Realm powerhouses!

For a moment, the entire Nine Provinces Continent was in an uproar, too unbelievable!

What a joke!

Those were five Emperor Realm cultivators, and they were just easily instant-killed like that?

This Longevity Gate is also way over the top, right?

Everyone on the Nine Provinces Continent was shocked beyond words!

Only the Five Ancient Orthodox Traditions that sought trouble with Longevity Gate were trembling in fear!

Actually, at that time each of their traditions still had two Emperor Realm cultivators!

But no one dared to shout outside the gates of Longevity Gate!

Each hunkered down at home, frantically laying layer upon layer of sturdy formations, taking out different defensive trump cards, piling them all up, to prevent that white-clad youth from Longevity Gate from coming to their door for service!

After all, since that white-clad youth could instant-kill five Emperor Realm cultivators with a single sword, if he were to go to their traditions for a visit, likely none of them could withstand him!

Just as the Five Ancient Orthodox Traditions thought that white-clad youth would come to settle scores, they discovered…… it seemed they had overthought it!

One day!

Two days!

……

One year passed, and that white-clad youth still hadn't come to their door.

They even thought that white-clad youth was being magnanimous!

A gentleman does not hold grudges against a petty person; they judged a gentleman's heart with their own petty mind.

Later, they discovered…… they had overthought it again!

The reason the white-clad youth did not destroy their traditions was actually to use them as a whetstone for training his seven disciples!

Afterwards, the Five Great Traditions indeed became the stepping stones for the white-clad youth's seven disciples!

The Five Great Traditions were almost overwhelmed by Longevity Gate to the point of being unable to breathe; in just five hundred years, all Emperor Realm powerhouses of the Five Great Traditions were slain and attained the Dao by the white-clad youth's seven disciples!

Of course, Longevity Gate did not exterminate them completely!

However, to outsiders it seemed to have a flavor of not exhausting the pond while fishing!

Longevity Gate let them cultivate new Emperor Realm cultivators, then slew them to attain the Dao…… as if treating the Five Ancient Orthodox Traditions as a renewable source of experience points!

That period could be called the darkest hour of the Five Great Traditions!

And Jin Zhan Tian, Feather Ascension Emperor, Wisdom Zen Master — the three were born during that darkest hour of their traditions!

The three of them were all heavenly prodigies newly born in that era, with astonishing cultivation talent!

However, their traditions did not allow them to shine too brightly, for fear of attracting Longevity Gate's attention!

Thus, the three understood from childhood one thing——Longevity Gate is truly evil!

In their hearts, the three all regarded Longevity Gate as the great villain in stories, determined to destroy this great villain!!

However, at that time Longevity Gate was still in its heyday and had also made a name for itself in the Myriad Heavens and Worlds!

They needed to endure and lie low!

They simply did not believe that Longevity Gate would remain prosperous forever and never decline!

After some years, they heard the news that the terrifying white-clad youth of Longevity Gate had disappeared!

After another thousand years, they again heard the definite news that the white-clad youth's seven disciples had all ascended to the Immortal Realm!!

The time had finally come……

Taking this opportunity, the Five Ancient Orthodox Traditions quickly revived!

Jin Zhan Tian, Wisdom Zen Master, Feather Ascension Emperor also took this opportunity to prove the Dao and become Emperor!

Just as they were itching to act, thinking they could seek revenge on Longevity Gate, Longevity Gate suddenly produced another Emperor Realm cultivator—this Emperor Realm cultivator was Yang Xuanji!

They again began to be vigilant and endure!

Must not rush, absolutely must not rush……

Must be cautious!

Longevity Gate is such a colossal entity, with deep foundations, surely hiding some remarkable trump card!

If that trump card were unleashed by an Emperor Realm cultivator, they would very likely follow in the footsteps of the Elder Ancestor of years past!

They must wait, wait for Longevity Gate's Emperor Xuanji to fall or pass away in meditation……

Of course, they also did not just sit idle; by setting traps they let some Emperor Realm cultivators consume the lifespan of Emperor Xuanji!

This method indeed worked well; some hot-blooded young Emperor Realm cultivators went to challenge Yang Xuanji to fights!

Yang Xuanji's lifespan was a gurgling flow, and finally only a thread of imperial soul remained, to guard the Dao for Changsheng Sect!

They still weren't in a hurry; they had to wait for Yang Xuanji's thread of imperial soul to extinguish before it would be safe!!

Waiting and waiting, waiting and waiting……

A few days ago, they heard the news that Yang Xuanji's imperial soul had dissipated!

Upon hearing this news, Jin Zhan Tian, Yu Hua Emperor Sovereign, and Zhi Hui Chan Master almost teared up!

Finally waited for you…… you've declined!

Thus the three of them began to gather, discussing how to destroy Changsheng Sect!

What defensive treasures should we bring?

If we encounter Changsheng Sect's Seven Emperors or the methods left by that white-clad youth, how should we respond?

After all, Changsheng Sect has deep foundations; they had to be extremely cautious!

During this time, they also summoned the Primeval Ji Clan and the Primeval Wang Clan.

However, these two clans seem to have been left with a shadow from being beaten by Changsheng Sect back then, so they didn't get involved!

Alright, those three aren't insisting either; two cowards, so we'll just do it ourselves……

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

At this moment, three terrifying auras' figures were like three huge meteors!

Recklessly crossing Xia Prefecture, they flew at extreme speed above Qing Prefecture, their momentum grand and their presence immensely mighty!!

Three Emperor Realm experts simultaneously appeared and walked together, their aura radiating loudly; such a scene has rarely been seen in recent years on the Nine Provinces Continent!

Thus, many Elder Ancestors of the Dao lineage rushed out from their palaces, gazing at the three Emperor Realm experts flying at high speed and loudly in the sky, 'What is happening?'

Actually, Jin Zhan Tian, Yu Hua Emperor Sovereign, and Zhi Hui Chan Master could completely shuttle through the void, silently reaching Changsheng Sect!

The reason they flew so ostentatiously above the continent was mainly to tell the world that they… have come to collect a debt today!

At the ancestral grounds of the Jiang Clan, the current Elder Ancestor Jiang Yuanqing gazed at the huge scar left in the sky, involuntarily shaking his head and sighing: 'Over twenty thousand years ago, five people went to offer their heads; today, three people go to offer their heads!'

'It's been over twenty thousand years; why bother?'

However, the Ji Clan and Wang Clan seem not to have joined the fun; it appears that the words spoken by the Grand Purity Elder Ancestor back then are still remembered by them!

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Jin Zhan Tian, Yu Hua Emperor Sovereign, and Zhi Hui Chan Master shortly thereafter arrived before that White Cloud Mountain, and a terrifying air wave swept across the entire Changsheng Sect!

"Damn it, I've endured for over twenty thousand years; I said before that today I will definitely chop this White Cloud Mountain in half!"

Jin Zhan Tian's temper is extremely violent; as soon as he arrived, his eyes burst forth with blazing golden light.

He waved the giant axe in his hand, and at the slightest disagreement he chopped down toward White Cloud Mountain!

The giant axe tore through the void, carving a huge central split in the void above!!

The giant axe blotted out the sky and covered the sun; the entire White Cloud Mountain, before this axe, was like a upright log, left for him to chop down……
