Chapter 250 Emperor Xuanyuan
Chapter 250 Emperor Xuanyuan
These three skeletons, it is unknown how many years they have been stored in this cave. Their flesh has long since decayed, leaving only three skeletons sitting cross-legged on the ground.
The skeleton on the left is dressed in a black and white Taoist robe. The skeleton on the right is dressed in hemp clothing. The skeleton in the middle is dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe and wears a flat crown on its head.
This Fiery Cloud Cave was the cultivation and living place of the three ancient emperors, dating back countless millennia. The three skeletal bodies had decayed, but their clothing remained perfectly intact. It seemed that even these garments alone were extremely rare treasures.
"Could these three skeletons be the remains of the Three Sovereigns of antiquity?" Lin Fei's mouth dropped open, his face filled with disbelief. "How is this possible? The Three Sovereigns of antiquity actually died together in their own cave?"
The Three Sovereigns of antiquity were legendary figures, their cultivation levels far exceeding Lin Fei's comprehension. According to the Hidden Sword Elder, such powerful beings could prolong their lives even in the face of the greatest calamities.
Not to mention the three ancient emperors together, who in the world could kill all three of them at the same time in their own cave?
But besides the Three Sovereigns of antiquity, who else would live and cultivate in this Fire Cloud Cave?
Lin Fei couldn't believe what he was seeing and slowly walked towards the three skeletons.
These three skeletons were enormous; a single bone joint was as tall as half of Lin Fei's body.
Lin Fei slowly approached the three skeletons, wanting to see if they were indeed the remains of the three ancient emperors.
Just as Lin Fei approached the three skeletons, the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand suddenly trembled violently.
From the moment Lin Fei entered the Lesser Thousand Worlds and cleaved the giant rock outside the fake Fire Cloud Cave, he sensed a restless emotion emanating from the Xuanyuan Sword. It seemed to be heading towards something it particularly desired.
The closer Lin Fei got to the three skeletons, the stronger the feeling emanating from the Xuanyuan Sword became. Finally, it erupted.
A dragon's roar came from within the Xuanyuan Sword. The Xuanyuan Sword, disobeying Lin Fei's command, suddenly shot out of Lin Fei's hand with a "hum".
The Xuanyuan Sword, gleaming with white light, hovered before the central skeleton and began to rotate around it.
Seeing this, Lin Fei became even more certain of his guess—these three skeletons were indeed the remains of the Three Sovereigns of antiquity. And the one in the middle wearing a dragon robe was probably the remains of the first of the Three Sovereigns, the Heavenly Emperor Xuanyuan, otherwise the Xuanyuan Sword would not have reacted so violently.
The light of the Xuanyuan Sword illuminated the skeleton in the middle, and two points of white light appeared in the skeleton's empty eyes. The huge skeleton slowly began to move, which was extremely eerie to behold.
Flesh and even hair slowly grew from the bones—it seemed that these bones, which had been dead for countless years, were showing signs of resurrection!
"Could this be the method of the Three Sovereigns of antiquity?" Lin Fei was filled with emotion upon seeing this scene. Such a method was simply divine.
As flesh and blood regenerated from the bones, the originally enormous body gradually shrank, eventually becoming the size of a normal person. The entire body was completely intact, just like a living person.
Lin Fei discovered that this person, who resembled Emperor Xuanyuan, did not actually look much different from ordinary people. However, he had a very dignified appearance, with a five-clawed golden dragon pattern imprinted between his eyebrows.
The man suddenly opened his eyes, raised his right hand, and shouted in a low voice, "Sword, come!"
Hearing his call, the Xuanyuan Sword rushed into his hand. He held the sword in one hand and gently stroked its blade with the other, his eyes filled with a sense of vicissitude: "It really is the Xuanyuan Sword. It has been so long since I've seen it."
He looked up at Lin Fei and said with a smile, "Li Longyuan? The royal family of Southern Tang? I never thought that my Xuanyuan Sword would eventually be passed on to the royal family. It seems that this guy is still used to being nourished by the aura of a true dragon."
Upon hearing this person directly state his name, Lin Fei was utterly astonished. Although he already knew that the Three Sovereigns of antiquity possessed unparalleled supernatural powers, this seemed far too extraordinary.
Having been dead in this Fiery Cloud Cave for countless millennia, and only recently resurrected, it already knows its own name? It even knows about the Southern Tang royal family. This is simply unbelievable.
Lin Fei even began to worry that he might have discovered the secrets of his system.
"You don't need to be surprised." Seeing Lin Fei completely stunned, the man chuckled and said, "I only know about what has happened outside these years through the Xuanyuan Sword. The Xuanyuan Sword is like another pair of eyes to me. What it sees, I can sense when I come into contact with it."
It turns out that it was sensed through the Xuanyuan Sword. The Xuanyuan Sword is the Emperor's personal sword, so it's perfectly normal for it to possess some supernatural abilities that the Emperor himself is unaware of. Otherwise, the Emperor's abilities would be terrifyingly vast.
The man who appeared to be the Emperor sighed, tossed the Xuanyuan Sword back into Lin Fei's hand, and said, "You guessed right. I am the ancient Xuanyuan, the Emperor you are talking about now."
At this point, his expression darkened slightly: "Or rather, in my previous life, I was the Heavenly Emperor Xuanyuan, one of the Three Sovereigns of antiquity."
He glanced at the two skeletons sitting beside him, his eyes filled with desolation: "Emperor Xuanyuan, Emperor Shennong, Emperor Fuxi. Who in this world could have imagined that the three ancient emperors, renowned for their power and prestige, would ultimately perish in their own cave dwellings?"
Lin Fei's guess was indeed correct; the person before him was none other than Emperor Xuanyuan, one of the Three Sovereigns of antiquity. Only Emperor Xuanyuan, the original wielder of the Xuanyuan Sword, could elicit such a strong reaction from it.
The two skeletons beside Emperor Xuanyuan, the one dressed in hemp clothing, is Emperor Shennong, the Earthly Sovereign. The one wearing a Taoist robe is Emperor Fuxi, the Human Sovereign.
The three ancient emperors actually died together in the Fire Cloud Cave where they cultivated. Even if others didn't believe it, Lin Fei still felt it was somewhat unreal after witnessing it with his own eyes.
Even the Hidden Sword Elder, who sent Lin Fei into the Three Sovereigns Ruins to search for the True Dragon Origin Qi, never expected that the remains of the Three Sovereigns would be found there.
Seeing the dejected look on Emperor Xuanyuan's face, Lin Fei was speechless and didn't know what to say for a moment.
