"How did you know, Ancestor?"

Xiao Lingyue asked curiously, having studied the token but unable to discern anything about it.

The Xiao family patriarch explained, "Your cultivation level is low, so naturally you can't see anything. First of all, the material used to forge the token is imperial gold. Secondly, this token contains a wisp of the aura of the Creation Emperor."

"Ancestor, what is Imperial Gold made of?"

Xiao Lingyue continued to ask.

"The Imperial Gold itself isn't precious; its value lies in the nourishment it received from the Great Emperor's Dao Fruit, transforming the rotten into the miraculous. As for that wisp of Great Emperor's aura, let alone you, even ordinary Dao Integration cultivators can't sense it. Even I, this old man, can only barely sense it. If I hadn't known beforehand that this was a token left behind by the Creation Emperor, I might have overlooked it!"

"I see!"

Xiao Lingyue suddenly realized: "Ancestor, do you know anything about this Creation Emperor?"

The Xiao family patriarch did not answer immediately, but fell into deep thought. After a long while, he slowly spoke: "Since the emergence of the cultivation civilization, many great emperors have been born in this world. If we talk about the most amazing emperors throughout history, the Creation Emperor is one of them."

I think the Creator Emperor must have lived millions of years ago. I don't know how he became an emperor, since it's been so long ago. Moreover, none of his deeds could be recorded in writing. Over time, the Creator Emperor's deeds were lost to the river of time. Only some major events related to him were passed down to later generations through oral tradition.

I only heard about a few major events by chance.

The first major event of the Creation Emperor was that after becoming an emperor, he married two female cultivators who were also emperors, and held a wedding that caused a sensation throughout the entire cultivation world.

Moreover, those two female cultivators who were Great Emperors were said to be among the strongest Great Emperors at the time.

"A role model for us all!"

Upon hearing this, Gao Yan thought to himself, "This Emperor of Creation married two emperors. Should I also set a grand goal and marry a female emperor as my wife?"

The patriarch of the Xiao family continued, "The second thing he did was to sneak into the nine holy lands after his marriage and steal their imperial scriptures, which led to him being hunted down by the nine holy lands. He hid for more than 30,000 years because of this."

After his rebirth, he created a celestial scripture based on his own imperial scripture and the imperial scriptures of the nine holy lands.

Moreover, he also mastered the Immortal Scripture, becoming one of the most outstanding beings among the Great Emperors.

To quell the anger of the nine holy lands, he passed on the immortal scriptures to them.

After this incident subsided, tens of thousands of years later, immortals descended to earth and slaughtered all living beings. The great emperors of that era joined forces to stop them, but they were no match for the immortals and were instead reaped by them.

Later, the Creator Emperor appeared and single-handedly fought against the immortal. With his Emperor-level cultivation, he defied the immortal and finally killed him!

But unexpectedly, this immortal seemed to have a powerful background in the upper realm.

This prompted the twelve immortals to descend to earth once again.

The Creator Emperor faced twelve immortals alone, ultimately slaying five and severely injuring three with his twin axes. In the end, he self-destructed his Emperor Dao Fruit and perished in the world.

After the Creator Emperor's fall, the immortals erased all traces of him from the world and forbade any books to record any information related to him.

Therefore, although the Creation Emperor was clearly a hero of this world, with the passing of that generation of cultivators, very few people knew who the Creation Emperor was!

At this point, the Xiao family patriarch couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"Ancestor, why do immortals slaughter all living beings?"

Xiao Lingyue asked.

The Xiao family patriarch shook his head: "I don't know either. Perhaps you'll know when you become an immortal!"

"Ten thousand years ago, all the emperors of this world either disappeared or went into seclusion. Could it be related to the immortals?" Gao Yan suddenly wondered.

The Xiao family patriarch glanced at Gao Yan, then shook his head: "Who can say for sure? After all, we are too far from the realm of the Great Emperor!"

Despite being at the eighth level of the Dao Integration Realm, he struggles even to break through to the Saint Realm, let alone the Great Emperor.

Therefore, although they seem to be two major realms apart, they are actually an insurmountable gap that one cannot cross even after a lifetime.

"By the way, Ancestor, my disciple intends to offer this token to the sect in exchange for a certain amount of spirit stones!" Xiao Lingyue said at this moment.

"Exchange for spirit stones?"

The Xiao family patriarch gave Gao Yan a strange look: "Are you sure you want to exchange for spirit stones?"

"Yes, Ancestor, this junior has no other hobbies, I just like spirit stones!" Gao Yan said in a serious tone, making up a lie.

"Alright, since you want spirit stones, then this old man will try to get you as many as possible!"

"Thank you, Ancestor!"

Gao Yan immediately expressed his gratitude.

"Wait a minute!"

After saying a few words, the Xiao family patriarch sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes to rest.

About fifteen minutes later.

Someone outside reported that Sect Master Shangguan Shang had arrived.

After exchanging pleasantries, the Xiao family patriarch invited Shangguan Shang to take a seat.

Without further ado, he said, “Sect Master, Lingyue’s disciple has accidentally obtained the key to the tomb of the Creation Emperor and wants to offer it to the sect in exchange for some spirit stones. You must not mistreat this young man’s loyalty!”

"The key to the Emperor's tomb?"

Shangguan Shang's body trembled slightly, and then he reached out and took the token!

He then inquired further about the information related to the token, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

"Ancestor, what's your opinion on this matter?"

The Xiao family patriarch said calmly, "The appearance of the key means that the tomb of the Creation Emperor is about to be revealed. You can send people to collect other keys so that when the tomb is revealed, our Nine Saints Sect can also gain the upper hand!"
