Chapter 177: Wanshi Palace, First Ancestor of Emperor Xia
Two men carried the tablet of the true god and walked in front of Qin Jiang. Another person walked out from behind, holding a wooden plate with a brush and a dish of vermilion paint on it.

"King Qin, please." Ye Yuanling stood up and clasped his hand.

Qin Jiang stood up, picked up the brush on the plate, dipped it in vermilion paint, and wrote his name on the tablet of the true god.

Putting down the brushes, the two men holding the tablet of the true god walked in front of Emperor Xia.

Emperor Xia took out a big seal from his bosom, pressed it in the air, and the golden seal was stamped on the tablet of the true god.

Almost at the moment when the seal was stamped, an invisible space wave dissipated, the tablet of the true god rose up autonomously, and a space crack emerged, revealing not black, but a dazzling golden color.

Behind the crack was not emptiness, but an attic. On the plaque was inscribed the three words "True God Pavilion", which were vigorous and powerful, carrying a domineering will.

The tablet of the True God turned into a stream of light and flew into the crack. The door of the True God Pavilion opened wide and the tablet of the True God flew directly in.

The space cracks slowly disappeared, the golden light gradually dimmed, and Chengtian Palace returned to normal.

"Haha! Today is a great day! Let's start the banquet!" Emperor Xia waved his hands and laughed, and the court music started playing.

As evening approached, two figures were walking in an alley in the core area of ​​the central palace.

"King Qin, the Immortal Ancestor is in the courtyard ahead."

Emperor Xia opened his mouth and raised his hand to point to a dilapidated courtyard in front of him.

Qin Jiang was a little surprised. He didn't expect that there was such a shabby place in the palace, but he didn't ask any more questions.

Walking into the yard, I saw a white-haired old man sitting under a bare black tree and making tea.

What attracted Qin Jiang's attention was a huge black tripod located in the courtyard. In terms of size, it was several times larger than the Hanhai Xuanding, but it did not have the slightest majesty.

However, what can be placed here must not be an ordinary giant tripod, but some special commemorative item.

Behind him, Emperor Xia's pupils shrank sharply when he saw the huge black tripod.

Overlord Ding!
How did the Immortal Ancestor take this thing out?
Ever since the first ancestor of the Xia Emperor passed away, the Overlord Cauldron was taken away by the Immortal Ancestor. Even he hadn't seen this black cauldron for hundreds of years.

"King Qin, I've heard a lot about you. Please take a seat." The old man invited Qin Jiang to sit down.

After Qin Jiang sat down, Emperor Xia bowed slightly and then left. Only Qin Jiang and the old man were left in the courtyard.

Qin Jiang looked at the white-haired old man in front of him and had an indescribable strange feeling, as if he instinctively felt that this old man was extremely powerful enough to threaten his life.

But in fact, it is completely unnoticeable and he is just regarded as an ordinary old man.

"Senior, I am here for the immortal arts." He spoke without any politeness.

The Immortal Ancestor nodded and poured tea. "Of course. But before that, I want to ask you, what is an immortal?"

Qin Jiang was stunned, and then thought that at his current level, he could be considered to have surpassed the scope of a true god, and he also had his own understanding of the way of immortality.

"Above all mortals are immortals," he said.

The Immortal Ancestor raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he didn't expect that what Qin Jiang said was so simple.

Sipping his tea, he spoke, "That's right, those who stand above all living beings are immortals, and immortals are far away from the mortal world.

Are you really ready to embark on the path to immortality? Like me, when I first became an immortal, I felt that the world was insignificant and all living beings were like ants.

Later, I felt that the way of immortality was more and more ethereal. What I had realized was only a small part of it. In front of the vast way of immortality, what was the difference between me and ordinary people? We were both just ants. "

"What do you mean, senior?" Qin Jiang asked.

The Immortal Ancestor shook his head gently, "It's not that meaningful, it's just that your talent is too monstrous, something I've never heard of before.

He has already achieved the pinnacle of a True God at such a young age, and is even on the verge of becoming an Immortal. This is really too fast."

"Senior, are you worried that my mood is unstable?" Qin Jiang said.

"This is the first reason. The second is that the path to immortality is really difficult. I am afraid that you cannot stand the loneliness of being unable to make any progress for decades or even hundreds of years." said the Immortal Ancestor.

What he didn't say was that he was worried that one day in the future, when all the old people around him passed away and he was left alone, the loneliness would be so tormenting that he wanted to die.

Nowadays, the true immortals in the various countries of Shenzhou are almost all over 5,000 years old.

Rather than protecting the country he founded, it is better to say that he is looking for a rational anchor for himself. Qin Jiang couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, "The Immortal Ancestor's worries are a little premature. It is difficult to cultivate a true immortal, but I can suppress the seventeen countries of Shenzhou within ten years. Before that, there is no need to worry about it.

As for the future, we’ll talk about it later!"

There is no need to worry about what will happen hundreds or thousands of years later.

Besides, why would it take so long? In less than a hundred years at most, he would be able to break through the realm of true immortals and see the higher scenery.

The Immortal Ancestor held the teacup in his arm in the air, and after a moment he began to laugh, "You and him are really alike."

Sipping the tea gently, memories welled up in his eyes.

"Him? The first ancestor of Emperor Xia?" Qin Jiang asked.

The Immortal Ancestor nodded gently, "Yes, but at that time, he was still the Overlord. After becoming the Emperor of Xia, he was completely a different person from when he was fighting in Shenzhou. Perhaps, this is responsibility."

He felt a little emotional. The overlord of that time had conquered all the world without a single defeat and had seized the best territory in the land of China.

At that time, the Overlord was an invincible god of war. No matter what he did, it was with great force, and he could always prove that he was right in the end.

But later, after he regulated the Nine Provinces and became the Emperor of Xia, although he was still wise and powerful, he lacked that domineering aura.

"Haha, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. These are all things that happened a long time ago."

As he said this, he stood up and said, "Come with me, his immortal path is inside."

Qin Jiang's eyes lit up and he stood up and followed.

Arriving in front of the only hut, the Immortal Ancestor gently pushed open the door and said, "Go ahead. What you want is inside. As for what you can get, it's up to you."

Qin Jiang nodded slightly and stepped into the house. The dim room suddenly became bright, the surrounding environment changed, and he came to the roof of a hall.

"Is this the Wanshi Palace?"

The Wanshi Palace is the tallest building in the imperial capital according to records. Legend has it that the first ancestor of the Xia Dynasty often came here, but later, when the first ancestor of the Xia Dynasty passed away, the palace collapsed.

"Hey! Don't stand there, come down!" A young voice came from under the eaves of the hall.

Qin Jiang leaped and came to the fence outside the Wanshi Palace. A young man in a yellow robe with nine dragons on it looked at him with a smile.

"You're here." The young man smiled.

"Who are you?" Qin Jiang asked.

"Xia Yu." said the young man.

Qin Jiang's expression changed slightly when he heard this. Xia Yu, the first ancestor of the Xia Dynasty!

"Are you an illusion or a remnant of obsession?" Qin Jiang asked.

Xia Yu smiled when he heard this, "Neither, I tried to break through the realm of the True Immortal, but ultimately failed to ascend to immortality. However, before ascending to immortality, I realized a little bit of the mystery of time.

Right now, I am speaking to you from the midst of history.”

Qin Jiang's pupils shrank slightly. The power of time? Was the first ancestor of the Xia Emperor actually this strong?
I am afraid that if it were not for the impact on a higher realm, there would no longer be the so-called Seventeen Countries in China today.

"Why did you come to see me?" he asked.

"Nothing, I just want to take a look at you. Everything about you is shrouded in fog, even I can't see through it, so I want to take a look."

As he spoke, a layer of pure white flames burned in the Wanshi Palace. The flames had the power to purify everything, and the drifting flames were not invisible, but appeared in the shape of transparent feathers.

"Tsk." Xia Yu shook his head with some regret, "After all, I have not yet reached the realm of the True Immortal, and time is running out.

My Eternal Peace Record may be very powerful, but it may not be suitable for you. Moreover, if you have the intention to break through to the level of True Immortal, then you can only use my Eternal Peace Record as a reference.

Otherwise, you will never be able to escape from my path for the rest of your life."

After saying that, he raised his hand and tapped lightly, and a stream of light instantly sank into Qin Jiang's brows.
