"Lord Jiang, I'm sorry, this is a treasure of the pavilion and is not for sale at the moment." Murong Jingde shook his head decisively.
"Elder Murong, as long as you're willing to part with it, the price is negotiable."
Jiang Ruhu stared at him excitedly, and said with a sincere expression:
"My daughter has been frail since childhood, and now that her eighteenth birthday is approaching, I would like to use this Imperial Jade to ask Master Kongling to carve a magic array for her."
"Lord Jiang, please forgive us. We are merely acting as a consignment agent and have no authority to decide the ownership of this imperial jade."
Upon hearing Murong Jingde's words, Jiang Ruhu was immediately disappointed, and the noblewoman's eyes were filled with helplessness.
However, since both of them were people of status, they did not continue to pursue the matter.
On the contrary, the pretty girl comforted him with a sweet expression:
"Dad, Mom, it's alright. We can buy other things. I see there are many beautiful jade pieces on the counter."
"Lord Jiang, Madam Jiang, please come upstairs. There are many more exquisite jade pieces upstairs; I'm sure they won't disappoint your daughter."
Murong Jingde smiled smugly and personally accompanied the group upstairs.
However, Chu Mo did not move. At this moment, he was sitting in the corner with a shocked expression.
After receiving the sacred artifact from the Grand Elder, Xiao Liu fell into a deep sleep once again.
However, this time it slept for a shorter time than ever before.
He had already woken up.
It was happily flapping its wings, chattering incessantly in Chu Mo's mind as if seeking praise.
The purple star pattern on the colorful wings became even clearer.
"You mean, you were born in the Kunlun Mountains? Not from the Kunlun Realm?"
Chu Mo looked surprised.
Seeing how familiar Xiao Liu was with the Kunlun Realm, he assumed that the other person was born there.
Who knew it would be someone from my hometown?
"Yes, I've been there for a long, long time," the little butterfly nodded repeatedly.
"How long is 'a long time'?"
"It's been a very, very long time," the little butterfly said, looking at him innocently.
Seeing that it couldn't explain clearly, Chu Mo had no choice but to ask the next question.
"Do you still remember who your master is?"
"I was young then and didn't understand much. I only knew that some people called him Emperor."
The little butterfly tilted its head and thought for a long time before finally blurting out this sentence.
This startled Chu Mo.
Although there are many people in the ancient legends of the Dragon Kingdom who are called human emperors, they are all undoubtedly exceptionally talented.
For example, the Three Sovereigns of ancient times: the Heavenly Sovereign, the Earthly Sovereign, and the Human Sovereign.
Legend has it that the reign of the Emperor lasted for more than 15,000 years, though these have always been considered legends.
Some ancient texts suggest that the Three Sovereigns of antiquity were even more ancient than the Human Sovereigns Fuxi and Xuanyuan.
However, some ancient texts believe that the Heavenly Emperor is Fuxi, the Earthly Emperor is Shennong, and the Human Emperor is Xuanyuan.
The legends are very confusing. Chu Mo used to think that it was just because it was too long ago and each sect had a different version of the story.
But as his understanding deepened, he now felt that things were probably not so simple.
Chu Mo could no longer remain calm and hurriedly got up and went to a small, private room.
He worried that if he stayed outside, his strange expression would make people think he was stupid.
"Little Six, where did your original master go in the end?"
As soon as Chu Mo sat down, he couldn't wait to ask questions.
"He died. He led a large group of people into that cave, and finally perished on the other side, taking the bad guys with him."
"That's when I got injured, and then I fell asleep while flying, until I met you later."
At this point, the little butterfly immediately drooped its head, sinking into boundless sorrow.
Because of their blood connection, Chu Mo could clearly sense its inner feelings.
It was a mixture of longing, helplessness, self-blame, and sadness.
He didn't know how to comfort it, so he could only stay silent with it. After a while, he softly asked:
"Which cave are you talking about?"
"It's that cave we went to together last time, the dark one."
Upon hearing this, Chu Mo was startled, and his heart was filled with turmoil.
He knew that Xiao Liu was referring to the mysterious cave in the Kunlun Mountains, and hurriedly asked:
"Do you remember where they fought?"
"I remember, it was a plain, the place I first took you to."
Upon hearing Little Butterfly's words, Chu Mo suddenly stood up, his face filled with utter horror.
He never imagined that the Burial Abyss would be the place where the Human Emperor fell!
Could it be that the ancient god who died in the Burial Abyss of Gods in legend was him?
Or are you referring to his opponent?
However, the timing seems wrong. Master said that the Burial Abyss of Gods has existed for at least a million years.
The legendary Human Emperor, however, lived much shorter than that.
What's going on here?
Furthermore, why did the Human Emperor lead his men to fight against humans in the Burial Abyss?
Unfortunately, Xiao Liu couldn't answer this question either.
He had no choice but to ask another question that horrified him.
"Sixth Brother, when the Human Emperor rushed into the cave, was he reappearing in the Abyss of Burial Gods?"
The little butterfly nodded, then quickly shook its head and said:
"It was inside a colorful stone platform. The stones were so beautiful, and I felt very comfortable inside."
"Later, the former owner led everyone out of the underground palace and came to the surface to fight with people. They fought for a long time, and everyone died."
"Before his former master died, he told me that I must return to Kunlun Mountain, but he didn't have time to say what he wanted me to do for him."
At this point, the little butterfly began to feel sad and guilty again.
