# Chapter 1714: Leaking Information
"Rebirth Scripture." Lin Feng's expression turned serious upon hearing Duanmu Heavenly Emperor's words. So it seemed that those ancient people were all deceased figures, yet because of the existence of the Rebirth Scripture, their will could be reborn, and when cultivated to a high enough level, they could even reshape their physical bodies.
"Many of them — could they all be merely will entities, without true physical bodies?" Lin Feng's pupils contracted slightly as this thought occurred to him. Clearly, even if they cultivated the Rebirth Scripture, it was impossible for all of them to have formed physical bodies. There must be many will entities existing, just like the Nine Nether Demon Emperor of the past — a wisp of undispersed will that resonated with heaven and earth, one melody of Nine Nether startling the world.
"So it seems the Nine Nether Demon Emperor might still exist." Lin Feng murmured softly. If the Xi Emperor was still alive, even if she didn't love Nine Nether, she wouldn't let him die. For the Xi Emperor, who was so devoted to her Dao, she would surely let Nine Nether live.
"It seems these ancient clans also guessed something about the situation at Guang Han Palace, which is why someone could make them join forces to attack Guang Han Palace, forcing these ancients to reveal themselves." Duanmu Heavenly Emperor murmured softly. These ancient clans, especially the Four Great Ancient Saint Clans, were definitely not to be trifled with. Their foundations spanning hundreds of thousands of years or even longer were unfathomable, beyond imagination.
"That ethereal figure is quite formidable, able to make so many ancient clans appear and act simultaneously." Duanmu Heavenly Emperor said with a smile. Lin Feng and the others beside him nodded slightly. That ethereal silhouette was only heard but never seen, not even revealing itself, yet it made all the ancient saint clan experts act. This person was truly remarkable.
"Tian Wang!" At this moment, an angry voice rolled out. It was an expert from the Cang Clan. It turned out that five hundred years ago, Cang Tian Wang, the number one young expert of the Cang Clan, had actually appeared among the crowd of Guang Han Palace.
"Cang Tian Wang!" The crowd's eyes turned toward a figure. This person had black hair flying wildly, draped in a pitch-black long robe, appearing exceptionally handsome and sharp. His knife-carved features seemed deliberately smoothed, giving people a strong sense of cold sharpness.
"Cang Tian Wang, this person was the number one young expert of the Cang Clan five hundred years ago. He reached the Martial Emperor realm at nineteen, then disappeared without a trace. Unexpectedly, he had fallen into Guang Han Palace. At that time, Guang Han Palace was still in its dormant period." Duanmu Heavenly Emperor said in a low voice. These elders of the ancient clans recognized quite a few people, many of whom were from their own clans.
"Guang Han Palace is indeed formidable." Lin Feng said in a low voice. Lang Xie, as the King Body of the Ancient Realm Clan, had a firm martial will that beauty could never tempt. Yet now he seemed to frequently be with that fairy maiden of Guang Han Palace. Although it couldn't be said that he had fallen, at least Lang Xie was gradually moving closer to Guang Han Palace.
More and more experts appeared. No one had expected Guang Han Palace's strength to be so terrifying, able to fight against so many ancient clans alone. Of course, the ancient clans were also holding back; they couldn't truly exhaust all their strength to fight Guang Han Palace. Perhaps they had some concerns.
"Shouldn't Guang Han Palace come out and give an explanation now?" At this moment, a clear voice drifted down from the sky, covering a hundred miles of territory.
At this moment, the sound of music rolled forth, and vast demonic energy surged into the heavens. The crowd felt the music penetrating into their eardrums, as if their will was being disturbed. Demonic intent sprouted, and demonic power involuntarily emerged, uncontrollable.
"Nine Nether!" Lin Feng's pupils contracted. He saw the void churning, heaven and earth rolling, demonic intent overwhelming. Dark spring water slowly emerged, heaven and earth resonating.
At the same time, from within Guang Han Palace, a voice slowly drifted out: "What explanation do you want?"
Within the palace, two figures slowly rose into the air, one black and one white.
"Xi Emperor!" Everyone's pupils contracted slightly, staring at the woman draped in a plain white robe. A countenance that could topple all beings, a temperament that could disturb the mortal world — no seduction, no coldness, but once you looked at her, you would never forget that face.
"Nine Nether!" Lin Feng stared at the black-robed figure beside the Xi Emperor. His long hair wildly danced, neat and sharp. A single black robe, one melody of Nine Nether, heaven and earth stirred.
"Senior Duanmu, Nine Nether's will — what is his cultivation level now?" Lin Feng asked Duanmu Heavenly Emperor beside him. With his own cultivation level, he couldn't possibly discern the Nine Nether Demon Emperor's realm. Toward the Nine Nether Demon Emperor, Lin Feng still held considerable reverence. One melody of Nine Nether stirring heaven and earth, bringing chaos to the world for the sake of a beauty — such boldness was beyond ordinary people.
Of course, because of Yue Xin, although Lin Feng harbored some hatred toward the Xi Emperor, he didn't deny his respect for this woman. The Xi Emperor was truly unique.
"Heavenly Emperor level." Duanmu Heavenly Emperor replied, causing a slight ripple in Lin Feng's heart. The Nine Nether Demon Emperor was at the Heavenly Emperor level, no wonder he couldn't contend with the Three Lives Great Emperor. Although Three Lives was called a Great Emperor, his cultivation was definitely not as simple as a Great Emperor. Ancient legends said that the destruction of the Tian Yan Holy Clan was related to Three Lives. His cultivation was definitely at the Saint Emperor level, or even higher. Otherwise, the outside world wouldn't spread rumors that he destroyed an ancient saint clan.
"They were already dead. I made them live again. Not only do you not feel grateful to me, but you come to accuse me?" The Xi Emperor looked calmly at the crowd in the void. The crowd's expressions didn't change, their hearts cold. What meaning did this kind of resurrection have?
"You probably didn't just make them cultivate the Rebirth Scripture. Otherwise, even if they were just will entities, they wouldn't have lost themselves." An expert from the Xing Clan questioned. If they had only cultivated the Rebirth Scripture, they would still be members of their clan, which would be acceptable. But now, they had clearly lost their original selves.
"They have all died once, so they are no longer related to you. I promise that in the future, if you have matters, you can borrow them from Guang Han Palace three times." The Xi Emperor's voice was calm. She couldn't truly become an enemy of the entire Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital, so she took a step back.
"Three times? I want Guang Han Palace to release them from control." That expert said coldly.
"If the Xing Clan disagrees, they can go to war with Guang Han Palace." The Xi Emperor's attitude was firm, unwilling to make further concessions. This made the ancient clan experts ponder how to proceed.
"Since Guang Han Palace has so many ancient scriptures, why not give each ancient clan one ancient sacred scripture? What do you all think?" That ethereal voice seemed to fear the world wasn't chaotic enough, transmitting over, causing everyone's hearts to stir slightly. They stared at the Xi Emperor. If she gave one ancient sacred scripture, they could stop.
"Xi Emperor, what do you think?" An expert from the Chu Clan said to the Xi Emperor.
The Xi Emperor's expression flickered slightly, then she slowly said: "Fine, I'll take one final step back. Now that everyone is here, for whichever ancient clan has a person here, according to their cultivation level, my Guang Han Palace will send a corresponding ancient scripture. For Saint Emperor level cultivation, I'll send one ancient sacred scripture, corresponding to their cultivation. If you all still have objections, then the only option is war."
"Since the Xi Emperor says so, then my Chu Clan will let it go." The Chu Clan expert slowly said, causing everyone to silently curse this old fellow. The Chu Clan's madman was already at the Saint Emperor level, meaning they could obtain another ancient sacred scripture. Of course, he agreed, since he knew it was impossible to take back the Chu Clan madman. His Chu Clan didn't have that kind of strength now either.
"I will deliver it to the Chu Clan." The Xi Emperor said calmly.
"Then many thanks to the Xi Emperor. But should this ancient sacred scripture be chosen by my Chu Clan?" That Chu Clan expert slowly spoke.
"I've already said, I will deliver the ancient sacred scripture to the Chu Clan. As for which scripture, I will decide. But it will definitely be at the ancient sacred scripture level." How could the Xi Emperor let the Chu Clan choose? They would surely want the best ancient scripture. Moreover, she couldn't reveal all the ancient scriptures.
The Chu Clan expert pondered for a moment, then slightly nodded: "Fine, then I'll take my leave."
With that, the Chu Clan expert's figure rolled away, leaving this place. This made many other experts' expressions somewhat unpleasant, especially those who didn't have people in Guang Han Palace. It seemed they couldn't take advantage of the situation.
Guang Han Palace wouldn't continue to compromise.
The Xing Clan also agreed to the Xi Emperor's proposal. Their Xing Clan was not as strong as before, so being able to obtain a powerful ancient scripture was not bad.
"These ancient clans don't truly dare to tear apart with Guang Han Palace. They're just squeezing out benefits. Given Guang Han Palace's terrifying lineup, it seems difficult for me to obtain the Ten Thousand Calamities Indestructible Heavenly Demon Scripture." Lin Feng thought to himself. Guang Han Palace's strength was too terrifying. He was just a small Martial Emperor; he couldn't possibly snatch it.
Turning his gaze, Lin Feng saw a Cang Clan member beside him and couldn't help but murmur softly: "In the past, Senior Demon Emperor taught me the Nine Nether Melody. Now seeing Senior again, he's still impressive. Unfortunately, although I have the world's strongest demonic melody, I cannot become an emperor. Otherwise, if I could also obtain the Ten Thousand Calamities Indestructible Heavenly Demon Scripture, I would surely achieve supreme demonic Dao."
