Upon hearing this, Lin Meng's beautiful eyes lit up immediately, and she nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice: "Okay, okay, thank you, Grandpa Village Chief. I'm really good at making tea."
"We know you're capable, that's why we're looking for you. Do your best," the old village chief said with a smile.
"Ahem, have you all forgotten that there's someone from Emperor Xia's side here?"
Wang Xiaoyu couldn't help but speak up.
The old village chief and the others were stunned for a moment, and then they all became somewhat embarrassed.
...
On the other side, Ye Qiu, alone, quickly ascended the ancient altar of Linjia Village.
The altar was enormous, covered in runes. As soon as Ye Qiu stepped onto it, he felt an overwhelming aura of primordial chaos wash over him, a truly wondrous sight, as if he had entered an altar from ancient times.
Ye Qiu didn't examine it closely, his gaze fixed on the eight-armed statue on the altar: "Junior Ye Qiu greets senior."
The eight-armed statue emitted a faint golden light and quickly responded to Ye Qiu: "You are so young, yet you have become the emperor of a dynasty. It is truly rare for you to remain so humble and composed."
"Senior is too kind. If I hadn't been unable to refuse, I wouldn't have wanted to take this position. On the contrary, I prefer the freedom of cultivation and roaming the world, which is far more enjoyable," Ye Qiu said sincerely.
"Haha, good, I like hearing that." The eight-armed statue laughed, "Do you know why I invited you here?"
"This junior is unaware," Ye Qiu said with utmost respect as he faced the eight-armed statue.
Because Ye Qiu was certain that this was an ancient being of terrifying age, and he could not be disrespectful.
The eight-armed deity didn't keep you in suspense and said with a smile, "I invited you here because I sensed the aura of an ancient cauldron on you."
"The Kunlun Cauldron?"
Ye Qiu immediately realized what was happening.
“Exactly,” the eight-armed deity said. “This cauldron appeared before the primordial era; you can also understand it as existing in prehistoric times.”
Legend has it that the person who cast it was the Heavenly Desolate Emperor, and the original name of this cauldron was not Kunlun Cauldron, but Heavenly Desolate Cauldron.
After the primordial chaos, this cauldron was taken away by Kunlun and became a supreme divine object guarding the destiny of the human race. If nothing unexpected happens, there should also be an Eight Desolations Map inside this cauldron, which records the location of the Heavenly Desolate Emperor's tomb. However, since ancient times, many experts have studied the Eight Desolations Map, but none have been able to decipher its mysteries.
Upon hearing this, Ye Qiu was greatly shocked.
Ye Qiu had heard many versions of the Eight Desolations Diagram.
Some say it holds the secret to immortality.
Some say that the secret behind it is that it hides a path to the demon realm.
Now, Ye Qiu heard a completely new version.
The Eight Desolations Map is a guide map to the tomb of the Heavenly Desolate Emperor.
Ye Qiu was now confused about which version was true.
"Emperor Xia, the Eight Desolations Map is the Emperor's Tomb Map. There is absolutely no mistake about this. More than a few sages have confirmed this matter. However, no one has ever successfully found the exact location of the Heavenly Desolation Emperor's Tomb."
To be honest, I've also seen the Eight Desolations Diagram, but unfortunately, I haven't been able to decipher it either.
"Senior, since the Eight Desolations Map contains such profound secrets, why is it still circulating among mortals and not treasured by anyone?" Ye Qiu asked.
"Because the ancient sages failed to find the Emperor's tomb, they hoped that future generations would be able to find it, which would help people understand that prehistoric era. This formed a tacit understanding, which is why the Eight Desolations Map was passed down to the world," the eight-armed deity explained.
Ye Qiu suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. To be honest, senior, the Eight Desolations Map is in my master's hands."
"The Kunlun Cauldron recognizes you as its master. It was once the weapon of the Heavenly Desolate Emperor. Perhaps you are different from others and can find the tomb of the Heavenly Desolate Emperor."
"Didn't you just say that the Kunlun Cauldron was taken away by the Kunlun Ancestor? Then why can't he find it?"
"That's different. Being able to use the Kunlun Cauldron and the Kunlun Cauldron recognizing its master are two different concepts."
"Alright." Ye Qiu smiled wryly. He could understand the intricacies of the situation, but he couldn't grasp the deeper meaning at this moment.
"Keep this in mind. If you have the opportunity in the future, go and look for it. You might gain a great reward. Now let's talk about your cultivation. I sense that you have reached a high level in the Divine Seal Realm, but it is not yet perfect. The Divine Seal of your natal spirit has not yet been condensed, is that right?"
