1 The Monarch

On the peak of the fungtai mountain, an age-old altar that had been present for millennia was suddenly lit up, a bright golden pillar of light emerged from it, the light was so bright that people became blind for a minute even though they had not looked directly at it, after some time passed, when they looked at the peak of the mountain again, they were perplexed to see that the entire mountain was covered in thick purple mist, the light pillar was here, its tips reaching heaven. Suddenly, Buddhist chanting could be heard all throughout the world, and the voice was filled with reverence and strength, as if it were the heavens themselves greeting the entity.

The chanting jolted the entire kingdom awake; the emperors, sovereigns, gods, and ancient entities all awoke from their slumber, but the common people had no idea what was going on. Suddenly, the pillar burst into countless beams of golden light and ran over the realm, reaching every corner and bringing life essence with it as a blessing wherever it went. When it passed through the ancient banyan tree, which was over 100 centuries old and withering at the end of its life, as soon as the ray touched its body, the tree became sentient, its old body began healing itself, life essence was poured into its body, and the tree, which could achieve spirit level cultivation, suddenly broke through multiple levels of cultivation and reached arcane level within a minute. Its spirit could now take on human form, and it bowed in homage to the altar and kneeled on the spot in front of it.

When the ray travelled through the common people, each of them broke through many levels of cultivation, and the elderly beings who had been trapped for ages suddenly broke through to the embryonic level of cultivation. The realm's average cultivation skyrocketed by many orders of magnitude.

The common people may not understand why these auspicious events were occurring, but the ancient beings were stuck with horror, the emperors all hid in their secret chambers, going into indefinite seclusion, the demon king which wreaked havoc in the realm, its appearance alone striking terror in the hearts of cultivators, was now kneeling at the foot of the mountain facing the altar, all the old fogeys, ancient beings, and ancestors of every race, the people standing at the top, were now kneeling at the foot of the mountain, when other cultivators saw these scene happening they were flabbergasted.

One person kneeling behind the ancestor of the Han family, which rules the entire northern part of the realm, was also perplexed; he had always thought that his family was one of the strongest in the realm, with its ancestor reaching the pinnacle of cultivation, the family members never fear anyone, and he was very proud of this, but now the ancestor who was one of the strongest in the entire realm suddenly rushed out of his seclusion, rushing here with him and kneeling, there was a look of horror on his old face, he never imagined that he will be able to see such an expression on his ancestor face.

Just as he was about to ask his ancestor why, he heard a voice message from the ancestor, saying, "Little Han, don't say anything, just continue kneeling with your head down."

When Han Min heard the transmission, he begged, "But ancestor, please explain me what's going on, why are we here kneeling?"

There was no response.

"The Monarch has arrived," the ancestor stated after a few seconds of witnessing Han min looking at him.

"The Monarch has come!"

Monarch? Who is this person? Han min was perplexed; he attempted to recollect this name from memory but could not do so.

Seeing Han min's perplexed look, ancestor continued,

"In the ancient time when the realm was not united and the spirit cultivation era had just begun, there was a man who rose from the bottom of society to become the emperor of the entire realm; he gathered all territories under his control, both demonic cultivators and righteous ones were all under his command."

He rose to become the single ruler of a slew of minor and big realms. During his reign, which gave birth to innumerable academics, emperors, and warriors, the current Hall of wisdom was formed; in fact, I was among the batch of cultivators of the Hall of wisdom. At the time, the king was already a legend, an entity that we could only revere."

It genuinely took aback Han min at this moment.

He too graduated from the Hall of Wisdom, and he was aware that it was a mysterious place. It contains an unlimited quantity of information about cultivation, the art of battle, alchemy, and so on. People will go to any length to get into the Hall. And he will discover who built the Hall of Wisdom.

"As the entire world was unified under one flag, the monarch withdrew into seclusion, and this is the first time he is coming in this realm after going into seclusion," the ancestor added.

While they were chatting, the spirit energy got chaotic, and the entire universe came to a halt; people who were just conversing were now utterly still, not even breathing; the mild wind also stopped flowing, rivers went quiet, and even the beams of sunshine stopped. The elderly fogeys with a high degree of cultivation were scared when they sensed this alteration.

Even the ancestor level characters began sweating profusely, their hearts quivering, knowing that this was a portent of the advent of another ancient creature.

The Eternal Emperor of the Ancients.

The strongest emperor the realm has ever seen. The youngest emperor under the monarch command who name alone struck myriad of emotion among the masses and terror in the enemy's heart. There is a saying that the eternal emperor is the child of time, completely unfathomable. People can only bow in respect in front of his grandeur.
