“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?

Long Chen kept this question in his heart.

Shao Yu started talking about the Seven Lords.

“In the Middle Era, there were masters that went to war alongside the Five Emperors. Seven of them were the most famous, and they were later known as the Seven Lords. According to legend, they were just one step away from the Divine Martial Realm, because they were at the peak of the Heavenly Martial Realm with lifespans of more than two thousand years! The Seven Lords include the Divine Demon Lord, the White Lotus Fairy, the Azure Lotus Lord, the True Fire Lord, the Seven Star Lord, and more. The Divine Demon Lord and the White Lotus Fairy’s inheritances have already been found, but the rest still remain in the Ancient Graveyard. You should be able to guess who received those inheritances, right?

The Divine clan and the Demon clan were both powerful factions in the Ten Thousand Nations Territory, and they were the ones who had received the inheritances of the Divine Demon Lord and the White Lotus Fairy. This also meant that the inheritances had indirectly created the current power situation.

Long Chen naturally could figure that out.

It had been a long time since masters at the peak of the Heavenly Martial Realm were seen in the Ten Thousand Nations Territory. It was only natural that the inheritances left behind by them would be treated as ultimate treasures by millions of citizens. Just the Divine Demon Lord and the White Lotus Fairy’s inheritances could skyrocket the two clans into power. This was proof of how terrifying they were.

If I could also get one of the Seven Lords’ inheritance … As Long Chen listened, a yearning formed in his heart. For the moment, he did not really want the Five Emperors’ treasures, but he would be able to have something to rely on when he went to the Three Royal Territories if he could get one of the Seven Lords’ inheritances.

Five of them have not been found yet. Looks like I can try striving for them. If I can get one of them, I will have some hope in defeating the Divine clan’s young master and getting Xiaolang back.

The most urgent problem that he had to solve now was getting Xiaolang back. This was a huge source of anxiety even though it had only been a day. Xiaolang had said it was no problem, that he could keep himself alive. But what if something unexpected happened? What if the Divine clan’s young master suddenly became violent? What if he did something frightening to Xiaolang?

All of these were possibilities!

If anything happens to Xiaolang, I will bury the whole Divine clan with him! I don’t care if I’m strong enough for that or not! I will! Long Chen clenched his teeth and privately swore to himself!

Whenever he recalled the young master’s contemptuous smirk, he had the urge to squash him to death!

You just wait and see … Long Chen put down his fist, stabilizing his emotions.

“Brother Long Chen, what’s the matter? Do you also want to get the Seven Lords’ inheritances? Haha. I think you have a chance. Work hard and stay alive, maybe you’ll really get one. As for me, I have no family background, no potential, no looks, no connections, no determination. Everything is just average. People like me deserve to die early. There’s nothing special about me. The only thing is that I’m fat!

Shao Yu chuckled, but Long Chen heard some resignation in his chuckle.

Indeed, most people weren’t anything special, nor would they be remembered. In fact, they sometimes even looked down on themselves. Before Long Chen left Baiyang Town, he was one of those people. Every day, he was just surviving and waiting to die with no goal and no courage to live.

The moment Long Qinglan’s eyes closed and Ling Xi left, he had turned into a machine. He had no concept of fatigue and feared nothing as he embarked on this long and uncertain journey. But that was when he realized he already had his own life and goals.

As for Shao Yu, he was in the same state as Long Chen was a long time ago. He had no life and no goals. He was very ordinary and went with the flow. One day, if fate dictated that he would die, he would die naturally. Other than a mound of soil, he would never leave a trace in the world.

Long Chen did not know how to explain these concepts to him.

“Do you have any desires? What sort of person do you want to become?” Long Chen suddenly asked.

Shao Yu froze, then he said, “Desires? I don’t know. My parents are dead; the person I like is dead. Perhaps the only reason why I’m alive is because I fear death. To be honest, if you had not saved me just now, I would have scared myself to death already.”

Long Chen was speechless.

This was a very personal matter, so Long Chen could not do much. He was grateful that his life differed from Shao Yu’s. Although it was tiring, it was fulfilling. If not, he would feel like he was a pitiful person.

They walked across the dark-brown ground with metal sand. Their path was not flat. Sometimes, a mountain of metal with spatters of rust would appear next to them. Long Chen felt nauseated when the chilling scent of rust hit him.

This disgusting smell traveled with the wind from all directions.

During their journey, the group was hit with another demonic beast attack. This time, it was a Category Four King-tier scorpion. It was covered in pitch-black metal and had a fearsome glare. It was only Category Four King-tier, yet it dared attack them. Very soon, it was killed by a tall cultivator next to Du Jiu.

After the guy killed the scorpion, he shot Long Chen a bellicose look. Long Chen pretended not to see it.

He had learned many things from Shao Yu. The only reason why he was still here was because he felt like he could not watch Shao Yu become someone else’s cannon fodder and do nothing. Long Chen was a person who took friendship seriously. Shao Yu saw him as a brother, and he took that to heart.

After crossing a hill made of metal pieces, they heard the sound of battle ahead. Their expressions changed. Everyone other than Long Chen and Shao Yu surrounded Du Jiu with violence and coldness in their eyes.

“Sneak over to check it out! See if you can take advantage of it!” Du Jiu said in a low voice. Everyone followed him with bent backs towards the sound. They were less than five hundred meters away. Long Chen used the Soul Swallowing Gaze and easily saw what was happening before they did.

Two groups of people were locked in a vigorous battle, but it was coming to an end. It was a tragic scene; fresh blood and corpses were everywhere. There should have been five or six people on both sides, but only two people remained fighting as the others were dead!

“You bastard! How dare you kill so many of my brothers?! Hand over that ax and I’ll let you go alive!”

They heard the voice coming from up ahead. Long Chen and the others approached until they could see the fight. Du Jiu and the others’ eyes lit up with joy. It was a bloody scene with blood and corpses strewn all over.

Both parties fought viciously, so there were even broken limbs on the ground.

The one who spoke was a short cultivator, and he was fighting violently against another man in yellow clothes who roared furiously, “We were the ones who got the ax first, but you all came to snatch it away! Your brothers deserved to die! If you don’t leave now, I’m killing you too!”

“In your dreams! Die! Essence Finger Spear!”
