Emperor’s Domination Chapter 5964: No Longer In This World

Chapter 5964: No Longer In This World

“Insulting our sect should be met with death!” The king’s eyes turned cold.
The elders were jolted to hear this. One of them hurriedly said: “Your Majesty, please refrain from being angry and think of the big picture. We cannot oppose the Chu as we are right now.”
“Hmph, how strong can they be?” The genius disagreed.
“We must mind our words.” An elder disagreed.
“The clan itself has no genius and their ancestors have passed away, its power is still there.” Another reminded him.
“So what, we will rise soon.” He couldn’t handle the perceived insult.
“Of course.” The first elder was the calmest and said: “But look beyond the surface. Have you forgotten about a particular ancestor from the Chu?”
“Which one?” Someone asked.
“From long ago. I’ve never met her, and neither did my master and his peers.” The first elder said: “This ancestor left the Chu and found incredible success, rumor to be at the apex imperial level.”
“How true are these rumors? How come we haven’t seen her before?” Everyone remained skeptical.
“It’s an unspoken secret.” The first elder shook his head.
“I do know about an ancestor venturing outside to seek the dao, but it might just be a legend. This ancestor perhaps does not exist or had passed away.” The king said.
“Yes, if they have an ancestor of this level, they would not be here right now. An apex-level emperor? They would be the strongest lineage.” Others agreed.
“The strongest lineage outside of Splendor is still Ancient Step, not the Chu.” An elder said.
“I trust in her existence.” The first elder said seriously.
“Then why hasn’t the Chu done anything?” A different elder questioned.
“I’ve inquired about it before and gathered some information, not necessarily accurate. This ancestor has a connection with Enigma, most likely a high-ranking official.” The first elder said.
This caused everyone to take a deep breath including the king.
“Enigma…” They became emotional.
Their sect was on the verge of rising and was among the top two of the ancient alliance. Alas, they were still a small sect.
As for Enigma, this was one of the three strongest dynasties in Sin. Rumor has it they had five emperors and three ancestors.
These ancestors didn’t reach the primal level but in other words, Enigma had at least eight Grand Emperors.
Their Insane Gate might not be able to produce a sacred shell, let alone a Grand Emperor. Even someone as talented as their king could only look up to an emperor. Therefore, Enigma was a behemoth in comparison.
Just a random sect under its territory could be stronger than the current Insane Gate.
“A high official in Enigma, how certain are you?” One elder asked.
“Extremely likely, but the actual position is unclear.” The first elder said softly.
The elders exchanged glances. Regardless of the actual position, this ancestor from the Chu was a frightening existence whom they were unqualified to see.
A minor official from Enigma visiting would require them to stand and wait by the gate. As for an ancestor in Enigma? Just one word from her could decide their fate.
Furious Wind took a deep breath and his indignation subsided, not daring to face Enigma. In fact, if this were true, they would need to please the Chu to potentially form a connection with Enigma.
“Regardless, the Chu was out of line for sending a mortal.” An elder remained angry.
“Patience is the prerequisite to any grand plan.” The first elder said: “Putting aside this ancestor, we need to be lenient toward the heavenly commander’s descendants.”
“That’s in the past.” Someone remarked.
“Yes, Soaring Phoenix Commander, swept away by the river of time at this point.” Another added.
“Tell me, what kind of cultivator was the commander?” The first elder raised his voice.
“Above the apex.” None could deny her domination.
“But she is no longer in this world.” Furious Wind said.
“Don’t be so sure, I’ve heard some rumors that she appeared during Night Watch.” The first elder revealed.
“Impossible.” The crowd blurted out in unison.
“How can that be? She must be dead since so much time had passed.” An elder said.
“I searched our records and one of them talked about the king communicating with Life and Death Heaven.” The first elder said.
Everyone turned pale because Enigma might be a behemoth to them but it was nothing compared to Life and Death Heaven.
“She was probably qualified.” One of them calmed down and murmured: “Our Insane Court back then was one of the ten dao lineages.”
Their eyes lit up with pride after talking about the glorious past. Their Insane Court had three ultimate cultivators, allowing them to dominate Three Immortals.
