The Unparalleled Sword Emperor

Chapter 2841 - 2816: Mountain God!

"I am the spirit of Sword God Mountain, in the ancient era of the Barbaric Ancient Continent, the warriors there called me the Mountain God!" The old man spoke respectfully to Lin Bai.Lin Bai listened and laughed disdainfully, "So it’s a mountain demon!"

In the Martial Arts World, spiritual energy is plentiful, and all things in heaven and earth can cultivate.

The cultivation of the Human Clan is called Martial Art.

And other than humans, creatures or even wild beasts and birds can cultivate, and they are called demons.

In the heaven and earth, mountains, rivers, and the Vast Ocean can also cultivate if enlightened by a Great Divine Expert, and are called demons.

However, mountains, rivers, and the Vast Ocean usually cannot awaken spiritual wisdom without the enlightenment of those surpassing the heaven and earth.

The old man laughed, "Indeed a mountain demon, it was presumptuous of me!"

Lin Bai curiously asked, "Are you a mountain demon from the ancient era? How could you still be alive today?"

The old man softly replied, "I was supposed to die in the ancient era, but Master Dugu Ye, seeing my awakened spiritual wisdom, enlightened me, severing the roots of heaven and earth, thus creating a separate realm for me, where I fall into slumber, awakening for seven days every ten years!"

"Is that so!" Lin Bai nodded silently and said, "Dugu Ye? Who is he?"

The old man said, "Master Dugu Ye is the founder of the Sword God Family, and he was the first Sword God on the Barbaric Ancient Continent!"

"In other words, before Master Dugu Ye, there was no Sword God on the Barbaric Ancient Continent, and after Master Dugu Ye, other Sword Gods appeared on the continent!"

Lin Bai frowned and said, "How do I not know that the founder of the Sword God Family is named Dugu Ye? I’ve only heard of Sword Gods like Dugu Bai, Dugu Qing, Dugu Yunhe, and Ye Yi from the Sword God Family!"

The Mountain God chuckled, "Sir, be patient, let me report in detail!"

"In the Ancient Era, Master Dugu Ye dominated the Barbaric Ancient, revered as the Sword God! And at that moment, Master Dugu Ye left the Barbaric Ancient Continent, venturing to worlds beyond!"

"It was before Master Dugu Ye left that he saw my imminent transformation, swung his sword to sever the roots of heaven and earth for me, his sword aura creating a separate realm, awakening me for seven days every ten years to guard his descendants!"

"Before leaving the Barbaric Ancient Continent, Master Dugu Ye had a son, who became the first Clan Leader of the Edgar Clan, named Dugu Qing!"

"Back when Master Dugu Ye was venturing on the Barbaric Ancient Continent, he once took in an orphan who was still in swaddling clothes!"

"After the orphan grew up, he took the ’name’ of Master Dugu Ye as his surname, calling himself ’Ye Yi’."

"After Master Dugu Ye left the Barbaric Ancient Continent, by then Dugu Qing already possessed heaven-reaching Sword Skills, from then on, he was the Sword God on the Barbaric Ancient Continent!"

"Master George Edsun founded the Sword God Family, specializing in nurturing excellent sword cultivators on the Barbaric Ancient Continent!"

"And Master Ye Yi, under Master George Edsun’s arrangement, became the Guardian of the Sword God Family, also the most loyal servant!"

The Mountain God calmly narrated the events of the ancient era.

"These are the things I knew before I fell into slumber. Since Master George Edsun’s transformation, I began my slumber, awakening for seven days every ten years, as the guardian of the Sword God Family!"

"After that, I don’t know about anything else."

The Mountain God spoke calmly.

Lin Bai nodded in sudden realization.

At this moment, Lin Bai understood that the Edgar Clan of the Sword God Family was the true lineage; the Ye Clan merely the guardians of the Edgar Clan.

In other words, the Edgar Clan are the masters within the family, while the Ye Clan are just the gardeners and servants, looking after the household for the Edgar Clan.

Lin Bai smiled wryly, "It’s really interesting, I bet Dugu Qing and Dugu Ye never thought that the servants they chose to guard the Sword God Family would one day grow to rival the Edgar Clan!"

Lin Bai asked, "Do you know about the later events? Do you know the Ye Clan has now become strong ones alongside the Edgar Clan?"

The Mountain God slightly shook his head and said, "I don’t know. I awaken for seven days every ten years, hardly aware of external matters. Each awakening, I merely check whether the Edgar Clan still exists!"

"But I also heard snippets, yet I see no harm from the Ye Clan to the Edgar Clan, so I didn’t intervene!"

"Should a day come when the Ye Clan makes some inappropriate movements, I will feel it first, and by then, no need for anyone else to act, I will destroy the Ye Clan myself!"

The Mountain God said with a serene smile.

Lin Bai asked, "Do the Edgar Clan and the Ye Clan not know of your existence?"

The Mountain God said, "Master George Edsun and Master Ye Yi knew once, but then something happened, seemingly the Sword God Family’s warriors gradually became unaware of my existence."

Lin Bai nodded slightly, then immediately looked at the coffin and asked, "Who’s buried in this coffin? Is it Dugu Ye?"

The Mountain God shook his head and said, "No, Master Dugu Ye never returned after leaving the Barbaric Ancient Continent, perhaps he died in the Spirit Realm, but we don’t know!"

"The one buried in this coffin is Master George Edsun!"

Lin Bai’s eyes flashed and looked at the divine weapon on the coffin.

The Mountain God smiled, "Sir, don’t be alarmed, during the ancient era of the Barbaric Ancient Continent, the land was rich, when martial arts first began on the continent, yet to be excavated by warriors!"

"Hence, there were abundant spiritual objects in heaven and earth, making it easy to refine some divine weapons!"

Lin Bai nodded and laughed, "Not possible on the current Barbaric Ancient Continent, like the divine weapon and divine iron on this coffin, they have nearly vanished on the Barbaric Ancient Continent!"

The Mountain God nodded and said, "The Barbaric Ancient Continent has indeed walked through countless years, in this long era, a vast amount of heaven and earth spiritual objects must have been consumed!"

"And the spiritual objects of this realm will gradually disappear with the passage of time, ultimately leaving only an abandoned Barbaric Ancient Continent!"

Lin Bai nodded and laughed, "You are right, from the moment of birth, all things head towards death, this world is no different!"

"One day, the warriors of the Barbaric Ancient Continent will drain the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, deplete the heavenly treasures, and pluck the last spiritual medicine!"

"And by then, there will be no warriors left on the Barbaric Ancient Continent, only ordinary people!"

The Mountain God laughed, "Sir, at that time, the strong ones on the Barbaric Ancient Continent will undoubtedly take their families, migrate en masse, cross the void, seeking other worlds!"

"Isn’t this exactly how the warriors on the Barbaric Ancient Continent came to be?"

The Mountain God said with a faint smile.

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai’s eyes flashed and looked at the Mountain God.

The Mountain God’s words seemed to hide a mystery!
