Chapter 503 - Glorified Ancient Emperor
This news shocked Asner to his core. An emperor tomb was about to emerge in their vicinity? Wasn\'t that going to make the other kingdoms move out? Not to mention, those who were trying to devour them might see this as the right chance.
Jin Rou could see the worry in Asner\'s face so he tapped the young elf\'s shoulder and said, "You don\'t have to worry about anything else. Just get this mission done, and become stronger."
It was an assurance. Jin Rou was here, the safest place where it should be.
"This young man is right. I know that you are thinking about it, but if you keep on backinv off because you are afraid of implication, you will never be successful in your life. I heard that you want to become an emperor? So you cannot be indecisive." The forefather said, "And I, Glorified Ancient Emperor, will make you stronger if you succeed this."
Glorified Ancient Emperor. He was one of the brilliant emperors of his era that only a few could defeat him. He sought for the dao for millions of years until he reached the end of his lifespan.
Asner couldn\'t help but clench his fists. His determination was boiling from the emperor\'s words. It looked like it gave him a newfound motivation to move forward.
"Yes, that\'s right. That should be the expression." Glorified Ancient Emperor nodded with satisfaction, "You must not become like me, a failure in the end. You must strive to become stronger and stronger that even the kings and emperors aren\'t a match to you."
Asner didn\'t comment on this. He felt like the \'failure\' that the emperor was talking about was a sensitive topic and didn\'t bring it up. But he was curious. After all, it seemed like there\'s something more to his death.
"Forefather... Heavenlies. Are they real?" Instead, he asked something that caused a hot debate with people.
After all, it was still up to debate if heavenlies were real or not as those normal people had never seen an existence like that. But 60% of the population was firmly believing while 40% was doubtful.
Glorified Ancient Emperor smiled and said, "J have seen a Heavenly during my prime years. So it is real."
Hearing this confirmation, Asner couldn\'t help but feel a burning feeling inside him, "Then that means that the ancient emperor isn\'t the last realm of cultivators!"
"There is an adage that says, the dao is endless." Glorified Ancient Emperor said, "So naturally, being an emperor isn\'t the end. In fact, that is just the starting point to all cultivators."
This came from the mouth of a powerful powerhouse. So Asner didn\'t doubt his words. Right now, his end goal wasn\'t to become an emperor. He will everything to be a heavenly in the future! No matter how long it takes, as long as he could become one then that\'s more than satisfying.
"Now, I have sent the details in your mind of what you should get in that tomb." Glorified presence was getting thinner, "I was exposed for too long and I\'m about to disappear. I\'m going to sleep first and charge my will. I\'ll wait for your good news here."
"Rest assured, Forefather. I will not let you down." Asner bowed with respect. Failure was not an option right now. He would do his best to get that scroll.

Three days passed. The whole Elf Kingdom was stupefied by a sudden phenomenon in their vicinity. A towering and massive gate appeared just a few kilometers away from them.
"An Emperor’s tomb!" One master shouted, "After so many years, a tomb of an emperor has finally emerged!"
These words flew up to the ends of the world. It was a big piece of pie, so everyone was preparing to depart to explore the tomb. In fact, even those faraway empires were preparing to monopolize the entire loot of this expidition.
It was an obvious and natural reaction of the people. This was a tomb of an emperor that we\'re talking about. No one would let it slide. Who knows what kind of powerful treasures were there?
"Gather all our strongest officials, we will take a trip to the tomb immediately." The ancient king of the Elf Kingdom immediately said, "We cannot waste any time. The enemies will be flocking there soon, so we need to hurry and gather power."
The ancient king knew that they couldn\'t fight for the loot if the other kingdoms come over. In fact, it was rumored that even an empire was going to fight for it. So what was the possibilities of them looting the tomb? Zero, unless they moved first.
It didn\'t take two hours to gather an powerful line up from the kingdom. They immediately flew towards it at maximized speed. They needed to be the first to arrive there and enter the gate.
Unfortunately, they were one step late from another kingdom.
"I know you\'re going to move out immediately, so I\'m here going to block you." A mocking voice said. It was from an old man with a no hair, "Repensine, give up. Minutes later, other kingdoms will arrive and even the empire will grace us with their presence. There\'s natural no place for you nor your kingdom."
"Old man, who are you to say that? You are clearly weaker than me, so I don\'t see how you can fill your guts right now." Repensine wasn\'t provoked and thought of this scenario, "Burncoal, don\'t think that you can stop me here."
"How about me included?" A middle aged woman came out and looked at Repenting Ancient King with seriously expression, "My old man is weaker, that\'s true and you can take him on. But what about us together?"
Repensine knit his brows. Things were turning to the way he didn\'t want it to be. As the current him, he couldn\'t fight two ancient kings at the same time. It was suicidal.
"Then scram if you can\'t do anything about this." Burncoal Ancient King didn\'t forget to sneer and mock Repensine, "The place will be crowded later on, there is no vacant for the likes of you."
The elders and officials behind Repensine Ancient King were burning with anger. It looked like they would attack the enemy the moment Repensine gave them the signal. It was a humiliation that they wouldn\'t take lying down.
