Chapter 509 - Elfblood Ancient Scroll
The group eventually left after taking all the treasures after a sincere bow towards the statue. They wanted to express their gratitude for letting them get these precious treasures.
Redboa Ancient Emperor didn't answer their gestures. It was more than enough to receive it. Besides, his will was about to crumble so he couldn't manage to maintain this conscious state for so long. But deep in his mind, he was wishing for Glorified's wellbeing in the yellow river.
Jin Rou and Asner returned to the kingdom source. And then, they presented the ancient scroll that they got to Glorified's will.
"Oh? That cunning snake gives this willingly? That's shocking." Glorified couldn't help but laugh. He knew the temperament of that friend of his. So it was a surprise that he gave it willingly.
Glorified examined the scroll and said, "Do you know what type of scroll is this, Asner?"
"Pardon me, but I don't know." Asner shook his head. He tried many times to discover the truths of this scroll, but it was useless.
"This is called Elfblood Ancient Scroll." Glorified smiled and explained, "This is one of our first ancestors' important treasures. It is a scroll which can boost a being's power by several degrees. For example, with your Foundation realm right now, you can jump to being an inner core. Or if you're very lucky, you'll become an ancient king."
"That powerful?" Asner was shaken. This was a precious scroll that everyone would be willing to take with their lives on the line. After all, it was power booster and a permanent one at that.
"Yes. It is that powerful." Glorified nodded, "This is painstakingly created by Elfrigid Heavenly Ancestor. One of the two existences where our origins started."
This information wasn't available for anyone and only a very few had the right to know this. After all, it was a shocking truth that could turn the whole world upside down.
"Heavenly...?" Again, Asner was shaken. These information were giving him several shocks that he couldn't almost take it.
What is a heavenly? They were the existences who stood at the peak of this world, able to look down on the rest of the world. Even ancient emperors would be helpless against it like a chicken on the chopping board.
"Yes, our ancestor is a heavenly." Glorified said, "But we have to keep this a secret. It might bring a calamity the kingdom will not be able to take."
People who knew heavenlies would always keep their mouth shut. It was a heaven defying term that normal people shouldn't know about. This was also one of the reasons why it was only said as a legend in the records.
Asner gulped. Even if he wasn't told, he wouldn't be willing to divulge this secret to others even to his family. He understood that it was a taboo not to talk about.
"Alright, now take this scroll. You have to understand the contents of this scroll to release the blood inside it. After which, you have to drink the blood." Glorified handed over the scroll back to Asner and said, "But I'm warning you, there is no free lunch in this world. You will feel an excruciating pain while absorbing the blood in your body. I don't know how long you will suffer, but at the very least it won't kill you. After all, I am here and this young man. We will go and save you if you cannot take the pain any longer."
Asner took a deep breath and said, "I'm going to push through, no matter what. I'm already here, might as well see this to the end."
He wasn't willing to take this down. He would do his best to be stronger than ever. And now that an opportunity presented itself, he had no right to reject it.
"Rest assured, you can take your time. We will be guarding you here." Glorified Ancient Emperor said. Having the protection of an emperor was a pride he could boast later on.
And soon, the process started with shrieks and shouts of pain from Asner.
---
Two days had passed. The process was still not yet finished, but Asner's expression was getting lighter. It seemed that the pain he was feeling had greatly reduced and was able to relax a bit.
However during these two days, something large happened on the outside. historical
Repensine Ancient King rushed towards the kingdom source and asked for Jin Rou's presence. Sensing the urgency, Jin Rou walked out of the room to see the old man.
"What is happening?" Jin Rou asked. The old man's face was heavier than he expected.
"The Avion Empire is here with millions of soldiers by our fort." The ancient king said with hesitation, "They are asking for compensation since a precious general of their empire was killed. And they are asking for the scroll that Asner has."
"These jerks. Their scheme is so obvious." Jin Rou laughed a bit. The empire didn't bother to hide their intentions by coming here, "Let's go and see them. Asner isn't available right now, he is still in the middle of training and cannot be disturbed."
Jin Rou flew away with the ancient king following him. And after a few seconds, they reached the fort where the armies were situated. And aside from the armies, there were also 3 powerful auras by the front. It seemed that they were the generals of these armies.
"I don't know if your empire is stupid or not. I have already spared your armies during the expedition and only killing your general. And now, you are here being dumb enough to show your necks to me. It's laughable." Jin Rou said.
"So you are the who killed Xuazong." A fierce light in one of the generals flashed, "However, we aren't here to fight. We are just asking for a compensation for his death. After that, we are going to disperse like bubbles."
"Hmm, I see that your greed is so strong and you probably know what scroll is it." Jin Rou smiled, "But no, scram or all of you will die here. Your choice."
