Chapter 489: Chapter 166: Emperor Realm Grand Completion! Divine Artifact! Exploding Nine Nether (Extra Chapter!)_2
[Seeing so many treasures, you are shocked and delighted. The Chi Clan has truly left behind an astonishing treasure trove. At the same time, you quickly think of the reasons why the Chi Clan would leave so many valuable things here, while not even a glimpse of middle and low-level resources are to be found.]

[As expected, when they left, the strongest amongst them probably had only Life and Death Realm cultivation left. With such cultivation, leaving with all kinds of treasures would be an act of suicide.]

[After all, treasures are hot potatoes. Once discovered, there would be a calamity. Furthermore, with the Life and Death Realm, trying to activate King Artifacts would come at a heavy price. Under such circumstances, the Chi Clan could at best take only one King Artifact with their group to protect their lives, and they couldn’t possibly take more. As for Emperor-level artifacts, they were even more impossible to take, as they couldn’t use them even if they had them.]

[For this reason, it is better to leave them here, waiting for their descendants to have the ability to break the curse or wait for the curse to disappear, and then return here to retrieve the treasures.]

[After guessing the truth, you can’t help but feel emotional. Now, it seems that all the benefits have fallen on you. Of course, if you hadn’t learned through the Life Simulator that Ye Chen had received the inheritance of the Ashy Flame Emperor and knew so much from Blood Demon Yuan Feng’s mouth, these chances would probably belong to Ye Chen.]

[This is undoubtedly Ye Chen’s biggest opportunity in the Purple Spirit Realm, bar none.]

[Next, after taking all the treasures with you, you head to the Elixir Garden. Upon arriving at the Elixir Garden, you discover that there are no middle and low-level elixirs within it. Instead, only those treasures which are of great use to kings and emperors and can’t be taken away are in there, their growth vigorous, and their age astonishing.]

[Looking at these treasures, you are delighted, but you don’t immediately think of picking them.]

[Then you go to the Inheritance Hall. After entering the Inheritance Hall, you find that there are many cultivation skills and divine skills within. Among them, there are no few king-tier and emperor-tier cultivation skills and divine skills. In the process, you also find the Ashy Flame Emperor’s cultivation skills and divine skills.]

[However, this is not the most powerful cultivation skill and divine skill. You go to the highest level of the Inheritance Hall. On the highest level of the Inheritance Hall, you successfully find the god-tier cultivation skills and god-tier magical powers.]

[This makes you very excited. After all, you are confident that if you can use god-tier skills and magical powers as a reference, then you can create god-tier skills and magical powers on your existing foundation in less than a hundred years, advancing yourself even further.]

[However, you also know that now is not the time for enlightenment, so you begin to record all of these cultivation skills and magical powers, leaving them for your future enlightenment.]

[Finally, you arrive at the central hall. When you enter the central hall, you see a figure sitting there. That is none other than the Ashy Flame Emperor himself.]

[Only, this Ashy Flame Emperor is not a living person, but a body after entering meditation. As you stare at the body of the Ashy Flame Emperor, a true spirit appears on it. This is a true spirit left behind by the Ashy Flame Emperor, intended to guide the next generation.]

[Upon seeing you and the token you are holding, the true spirit of the Ashy Flame Emperor sighs, knowing that the situation of the Chi Clan must be terrible; otherwise, someone like you, an outsider, would not be holding the Chi Clan Chief’s jade pendant and be here.]

[You explain to him that the Chi Clan has not been wiped out, but that the curse is getting worse and worse, making it impossible for them to break through to the Spiritual Origin Realm. However, they are now under your protection and no one will dare to bully them again. The true spirit of the Ashy Flame Emperor can see that you are not lying, but his emotions are complicated.]

[The Chi Clan of the past, how glorious it was, and now reduced to such a point, it is truly tragic. Next, you start asking about the specific cultivation realms of the Upper Realm, hoping the Ashy Flame Emperor can tell you.]

[In response to your questions, the true spirit of the Ashy Flame Emperor doesn’t conceal anything, and chooses to tell you. It turns out that what is known as the Divine Realm in the Purple Spirit Realm is actually the Void Divine Realm.]

[In the Upper Realm, there are nine realms after the Emperor Realm, also called the Nine Realms of Tao Proving. After the Emperor Realm, there is the Void Divine Realm, True Lord, and God Monarch Realm, which some people like to call the Greater Realm of Lord. After the God Monarch, there is the Saint Realm, Saint King Realm, and Great Saint Realm, collectively referred to as Entering Saint Realm. The final three realms are Supreme, Quasi-Emperor, and Emperor.]

[Hearing the explanation from the true spirit of the Ashy Flame Emperor, you feel both happiness from knowing the path ahead and extreme shock. Because, according to the Ashy Flame Emperor’s words, the Chi Clan, which was once called the Imperial Clan, wasn’t it guarded by a family with a great emperor? The ancestor who once suppressed an unknown force could very well have been a great emperor.]

[You feel shaken in your heart and can’t wait to ask the Ashy Flame Emperor about the Imperial Clan. The true spirit of the Ashy Flame Emperor has no intention of hiding anything and directly tells you the truth. Their Chi Clan is indeed a family that gave birth to a great emperor and once ruled the Upper Realm, with their ancestors invincible in an era. However, in order to suppress unknown forces and protect sentient beings, the ancestor eventually fell. After the ancestor’s fall, their Chi Clan also faced the same unknown forces, resulting in their current predicament.]

[You are shocked and ask what exactly the unknown force is. However, the true spirit of the Ashy Flame Emperor remains silent, saying that he doesn’t know either. After all, they were just ordinary clansmen who fled to the Purple Spirit Realm, only knowing the general situation and unable to access too many secrets.]
