Chapter 709: Legend of the Seven Lords
Shao Yu lamented, “People die for riches; birds die for food. I don’t know what got into my head when I snatched that Ancient Token. After that, I was suddenly whisked to this place. After I truly witnessed the killing here, I fully regretted coming, but it is useless. Even if I die here, no one will pity me. I can only fight as hard as I can now. If I can get the inheritance of the Seven Lords, it will be worth it even if I die …”
Shao Yu’s unintentional lament caught Long Chen’s attention, who asked hurriedly, “Brother Yu, what is the inheritance of the Seven Lords?”
“Why did you come to the Ancient Graveyard if you don’t even know about this?” Shao Yu was speechless at his ignorance. He paused, then he said, “There are countless treasures in the Ancient Graveyard. They were left behind by masters from the Middle Era. Many people become respected masters when they return to the Ten Thousand Nations Territory because they found some of these treasures. Other than the ancient Five Element Alliance, the others of the Nine Great Clans basically rose due to the treasures found in the Ancient Graveyard. The Divine and Demon clans are a classic story. They are factions that rose to power much later, but became some of the most fearsome clans in the Ten Thousand Nations Territory in a very short time! That’s because they received the Seven Lords’ Inheritance!” Shao Yu explained with admiration in his eyes.
“Even the Divine and Demon clans rose to power because of the Ancient Graveyard’s treasures?” Long Chen froze slightly. This showed just how powerful the treasures were.
“Everyone knows of the countless treasures in the Ancient Graveyard like divine weapons, magical artifacts, spiritual herbs, combat techniques, and many other strange things. The most famous of them all is the inheritance of the Seven Lords. That’s the dream of every cultivator who comes to the Ancient Graveyard!”
Long Chen did not know about the Seven Lords. He only knew about the Five Emperors’ treasure, which was what he learned from the Prismatic Key. The legends told that the Five Emperors of the Ten Thousand Nations Territory were buried in the Ancient Graveyard, so why did Shao Yu not talk about the Five Emperors, but the Seven Lords instead?”
“Seven Lords? What did they do? Isn’t there anything about the Five Emperors’ inheritance?” Long Chen asked, puzzled.
Shao Yu looked at him like he could not be saved, then he said with widened eyes, “Five Emperors? The Five Emperors’ inheritance only exists in the legends. After countless years, no one has gotten any information about it, so no one believes it anymore. How could it exist? But the Seven Lords’ inheritance is real. And it’s the peak of all treasures in the Ancient Graveyard!”
Long Chen thought to himself, It looks like no one has ever found the Five Emperors’ treasures. Then how can they explain the Prismatic Key and the Five Emperor Seals I have on me?
