Chapter 857 Ch 857: Story Of The Primordial Race (2)

Yuan Shan De told Ye Xiao everything that happened in the past.

According to Yuan Shan De, when the six alive elders completed all the preparations and went out to support their leader, they found that their leader was badly injured. There was not a single part of his body that wasn’t wounded and doesn’t have dried-up blood.

In short, their leader had already become a bloody man whose figure was distorted enough because of the wounds on his body that the six of them couldn’t tell that he is their leader at a first glance.

It took them a while to truly believe. They were all inraged but were helpless as couldn’t do anything. Because of the curse of Heavens, they were all weakened greatly and couldn’t fight against the huge army of the Ancient Race.

Their leader knew that he was about to die, for no one could save him. Not only his entire body was deeply wounded, but his soul was also injured. He couldn’t be saved by anyone anymore. So, he decided something that shocked the six of them.

It has to be known that when the Primordial Race was not cursed, they don’t need to absorb the True Essence from the world by circulating some sort of cultivation technique. They could absorb True Essence automatically, without the help of a cultivation technique. Because of this, they could continuously become stronger.

As for the skills to fight, even it was also the same as the cultivation technique. They don’t need to create any martial arts skills, as they become stronger, they could awaken innate abilities once in a while. The stronger their cultivation base, the stronger their awakened ability would be.

So, they never needed to really worry about not being able to practice and obtain powerful martial arts skills.

But their leader had created a martial arts skill by observing the people of Ancient Race these few hundred years when they were being hunted down. After hearing the words of Queen and knowing that their race couldn’t be saved and was destined to be destroyed, he created a martial arts skill in order to extract the Mark of Primordial from the people of Primordial Race. This skill will only work for them.

He was already on the verge of death, he used all his willpower to forcefully extract his own Mark of Primordial that soon created a hexagonal-shaped crystal around on its own as a sort of protection.

After the Mark of Primordial was extracted, their leader immediately became an ordinary person and died. But before dying, he did tell the six elders to use his Mark of Primordial as the reward for the trial.

After dying, their leader’s body disintegrated into countless fragments of lights and dissipated into the air, becoming part of the world.

Well, this is what happens after the people of the Primordial Race die. And maybe, this is natural also.

After all, they were like a part of nature itself and could automatically absorb the True Essence from the air. Then it is not surprising for their bodies to transform into fragments of light before dissipating into the air.

Well, after their leader’s body disappeared, the six of them wanted to return but were discovered by the enemies. The chase once again began. They fought and ran in order to escape, and in that process, they were seriously injured as well.

However, they still managed to escape. They returned to their homeground where Pygon was waiting for them. They were seriously injured and wouldn’t be able to stay alive for long. Thus, they roamed the Divine Realm, chose a specific location, sacrificed their bodies, and created the trials.

They were already prepared so it hadn’t taken much effort for them to create Trials of Primordial.

It took them ten years to create the first trial. After the first trial was created, a part of Yuan Shi De’s soul was sealed and his body transformed into fragments of light before disappearing.

The same happened with the other two elders. Yuan Shan De took 20 years to create the Second Trial and the third elder took 30 years to create the third trial.

As for the other three elders, they chose to fall into a deep slumber. They would wake up only after a person who could pass all three trials will appear.

Well, this was the story of the Primordial Race and how they were destroyed. This story made Ye Xiao realize many things and at the same time, many questions appeared in his mind. But he also understood that he shouldn’t ask either Yuan Shi De or Yuan Shan De his questions. The only person who could answer him is Queen.

Ye Xiao took a deep breath and looked at the hexagonal-shaped crystal in his hand that Yuan Shi De returned him while Yuan Shan De was still telling him the story.

“What ability did this Mark of Primordial give to your leader? As far as I know, the abilities given by Mark of Primordial vary from person to person.” Ye Xiao asked.

The three figures in front of him nodded their heads. Yuan Shan De spoke: “That Mark of Primordial gave our leader the ability to teleport anywhere he wants in the entire Heavens.”

“What?”

Ye Xiao was shocked. He couldn’t react for a few moments, and when he reacted, he exclaimed in surprise. Then he hurriedly asked: “But if that’s the case, then the Leader could have teleported somewhere safe. This way, he wouldn’t have been injured and died.”

“Sigh!”

Yuan Shan De shook his head and let out a deep sigh. He touched his forehead as if he was touching the Mark Of Primordial that is not there at the moment, for they are in the form of soul.

“As I told you before, we were cursed by the Heavens. The curse not only weakened us greatly but also restricted us a lot. Because of the curse, we couldn’t use the ability of Mark Of Primordial as we wish. We could only use it once every hundred years.”

“Yes, you are right. Our leader could have teleported anywhere and saved his life. But he didn’t want to be a coward. We Primordials are not cowards. Even if death is in front of us, we will never turn our back on our own people. Our leader didn’t want to save his own life while seeing our people die under the hands of Ancient Race’s people.”

“There was a time when we requested him to escape as well, but he said he’ll accompany us till the end, and will never escape by himself. And just as he told us, he fought bravely till the end and let us live more years. If he was not with us, we wouldn’t have been able to create the Trials, for we wouldn’t have gotten enough chance to prepare beforehand.”

Ye Xiao took a deep breath. He once again looked at the hexagonal-shaped crystal in his hand but this time, his eyes were flashing with light. It is as if he is looking at a treasure that’ll never appear ever again.

As long as he could integrate with this Mark Of Primordial and obtain it, he wouldn’t need to use the Gate on the Fifth Floor of the Nine Story Pagoda in order to travel between Lower, Upper, and Divine Realms and worlds within.

Anyway, he didn’t want to rely on the Second Universe of the Ancestral Dragons too much after knowing the truth. The truth had really hurt him a lot.

If not for the Domineering God Crystal that created another path of cultivation for him, he would have lost all his cultivation base after cultivating the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique to perfection.

After all, according to what Queen said, the reason why the ancestral dragons became one with his body was for his cultivation. A human’s speed of cultivation is much faster than dragons. So, after Ye Xiao becomes an Ancient God, they’ll choose to live his body. After leaving his body, each one of them will obtain the Ancient God Realm cultivation base. And Ye Xiao will lose all of his cultivation bases.

Fortunately, cultivating True Essence is no longer his path of cultivation. His true path of cultivation is to comprehend all the Laws of Heavens and their Profound Meanings.

Even though so many years have already passed, Ye Xiao was not able to forgive any one of them.

After all, if Domineering God Crystal was not here, he wouldn’t have asked Queen questions and wouldn’t have known the truth.

Without the Domineering God Crystal, if he had lost all his cultivation base, he would have become an ordinary person, the same person who was kicked out of the Silver Moon Sect, the same helpless person who wouldn’t have the strength enough to protect himself even against a group of ordinary people.

From rising to the peak of Heavens to falling beneath the ground, how miserable would that have been for him? Ye Xiao couldn’t even imagine such a fate.

He could have done anything for the Second Heavens and Nine Ancestral Dragons, for they are the reason why he is standing at his point today. He could never deny this fact.

But this doesn’t give them the right to rob him of everything he has achieved.
