11 Chapter 11 Reputation.
Even with Man Tian's depth of knowledge, he was gasping in admiration when he saw this.
"What's that thing flying in the sky 1 ?"
"Lord Lin Xiao has arrived!"
"Just like what the information said, that should be the azure wolf group."
Man Tian's arrival attracted the attention of the Gu Masters inside the sacred palace.
At this point, there were almost ten thousand people in the sacred palace. These people were lucky, after entering the blessed land, they landed close to the sacred palace. Thus, they were earlier than Man Tian considering he was wondering around and collecting every inheritance he could.
Meng Zhao had given instructed already, thus the Gu Master tasked to welcome him quickly reacted.
When Man Tian landed, there were already people standing at the huge gate of the first level.
The moment Man Tian's myriad eagle king touched the ground, the escort Gu Master came to greet him: "Lord Lin Xiao, you have arrived. It is my honor to bring you into the city. Your place is residence is on the eighth level, we have already prepared the room for you."
"Mm, no rush, bring me around the place first." Man Tian said lightly, getting off the golden eagle mutated beast king. As a form of respect to Giant Sun Immortal Venerable, Gu Masters were not allowed to ride their steed inside the sacred palace, they could only walk.
"As you wish lord, this is my honor."
Man Tian followed the escort Gu into the sacred palace.
Inside the sacred palace, there were large numbers of pavilions and terraces, palaces and courtyards. Looking from outside, the edges of the roof were curved outside, they were silver and golden in color, looking magnificent and grand.
All sorts of buildings were interconnected. At some places, there was lots of free space and buildings were huge. At some places, the pathways were intercrossed and halls were everywhere, making it easy to get lost.
As for the interior of the pavilion hall, be it the pillars or the main support, they were carved with lots of beautiful images and decorations, it radiated an aura of prosperity.
"Lord, this is entertainment palace, the noble ancestor Giant Sun would hold a grand music festival here in this palace daily when he lived here. According to history, during each festival, there would be large numbers of concubines fighting to present their dance, in order to get ancestor Giant Sun's attention."
"Lord, this is spring soup hall, it has the largest hot spring in northern plains. Ancestor Giant Sun would come here weekly with a thousand concubines, to soak in the water and have fun."
"This is floating scent yard, ancestor Giant Sun had once moved the legendary 'wine pool' and 'meat forest' here. Every morning, the meat forest would produce all sorts of delicious meat fruits. At night, the wine pool would produce lots of fragrant wine."
The escort Gu Master introduced each area they went to, he was very eloquent.
Man Tian walked casually, looking around, he found almost everything very interesting.
At the sacred palace's fourth level, the escort Gu Master brought Man Tian into the main palace.
"Lord, this is one of the eight main palaces of sacred palace, drawing palace. Ancestor Giant Sun was very talented, he was very skilled at drawing beauties. All of the drawings inside this palace were done by him alone. Please come this way."
The escort Gu Master opened the side door of the palace, inviting Man Tian in.
The eight main palaces of sacred palace had main doors, but only Giant Sun Immortal Venerable could use them. Although he was dead already, this rule was passed down, and his descendants followed this rule as a form of respect and reverence towards Giant Sun Immortal Venerable.
Once they entered the palace, a large wall of drawings filled Man Tian's vision.
There were nothing in this drawing palace, but huge walls. On these walls, there were all sorts of beauties, alluring ones, innocent ones, smiling ones, or those deep in thought. They were in all sorts of postures and positions, there were eighty thousand drawings!
"Those that were drawn here were well-liked by ancestor Giant Sun for a period of time. Of course, it is a woman's greatest honor to be hand-drawn by a venerable. Ancestor Giant Sun had lots of concubines, but those recorded here were the cream of the crop, they could be preserved eternally here."
The escort Gu master said with a look of admiration.
Man Tian did not speak, he only looked and thought to himself: "I wouldn't call this eternally. At least in Fang Yuan's first five hundred years, Imperial Court blessed land was destroyed by central continent Gu Immortals, and the sacred palace became history. Sigh, true immortality is something that not even someone as strong as an Immortal Venerable could achieve…
(the paragraph above was actually said by Fang Yuan himself.)
Everything eventually dies it just depends on the death. No one is truly the same person from yesterday."
When people came here, they would be stunned by the sacred palace's grand and imposing aura, even if they were not overwhelmed, they would feel great admiration.
But Man Tian could sense a trace of decay and rot in this brilliance. He could feel the majestic life of this blessed land coming closer and closer.
Without eternal life, so what if you were as strong as a venerable?
Even the casanova Giant Sun had turned into ashes now. His traces were still here, proving his existence, but in Man Tian's opinion, such a proof was filled with the mockery of failure, it was truly pitiful.
The great giant sun immortal venerable is hiding in longevity heaven as a lowly zombie the mighty spectral heaven was hiding in the door of life and death. The only respectable venerable is only Limitless demon venerable as he is not concerned with others but merely immortality in his crazed demon cave.
Although calling the venerables dead would be an understatement considering they are all alive just hiding somewhere.
Star constellation is hiding in heavens will ready to return after fate gu is destroyed.
Red lotus demon venerable is hiding somewhere in the river of time.
Genesis lotus immortal venerable is ready to come back in emperor city.
Spectral soul is in the door of life and death while his clones are roaming all around the gu world. Infact maybe one is sitting next to you.
Paradise Earth immortal venerable is not really dead as his soul is not in the door of life and death.
Limitless demon venerable is in his cave preparing for his immortality.
And it would be stupid for anyone to assume reckless savage demon venerable is dead.
Same goes with Primordial origin immortal venerable and one can just assume since this is the Gu world that Ren Zu and his children are probably still alive, seeing that his first son can easily handle spectral soul.
Reaching this point his interest had waned.
"Let's go, bring me to the eighth level's accommodation." Man Tian sighed, and gave the instruction.
The escort Gu Master got out of his daze and said hesitantly: "But lord, sacred palace has a lot of famous sites, we just started! Other than these, there are also beauty palace, young girl palace, alluring palace, innocent palace, and unique scent palace. Back then, female variant humans lived there, there were even hairy men. There is also jade statue palace, meant to sculpt beauties, and offer them to the ancestor."
The escort Gu Master was anxious, all these places that he mentioned were not accessible with his status.
He wanted to use this chance to satisfy his curiosity.
But Man Tian did not fulfill his wish.
During Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's final years, he rarely went to the mortal realm to stay in sacred palace. He lived in Longevity Heaven, in a reclusive manner.
As for northern plains, large numbers of girls would be chosen for him to fill the sacred palace.
The last time Giant Sun Immortal Venerable came to the sacred palace, he did not meet these girls, instead he built the Eighty-Eight True Yang Building and established the rules for the Imperial Court contest, before vanishing from this world completely.
The sacred palace thus faded out of history and those beautiful yet pitiful women became sparrows trapped in cages.
Although Imperial Court blessed land was huge, it had no freedom, it was a prison even though the place was large. Maybe Man Tian would have this many concubines as decorations for his achievements once he achieves his goals.
Eventually, they stayed there obediently and exhausted their lifespan. They could not escape, and no one had the guts to save them either.
Under Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's glorious and noble light, countless women were buried in pain, grudge, and sadness.
In Man Tian's eyes, the sacred palace did not have high value. If even the mortal Fang Yuan ignored it he would probably gain nothing and one ought to consider the insatiable greed of Fang Yuan, this man is probably the shrewdest but also the stingiest immortal venerable to ever exist. If this man found a useless rank one gu he would probably keep rather than give it away.
It was merely Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's inheritance, no Gu Masters dared to set up their inheritance here. As for the precious resources he left behind, they had been taken by previous generations of Gu Masters already. Even the central continent Gu Immortals who came later could not find anything valuable.
The only thing valuable in the sacred palace, was also the entire Imperial Court blessed land, no, more accurately, the most valuable thing in northern plains.
That was at the peak of the eighth level — Eighty-Eight True Yang Building!
As Giant Sun Immortal Venerable had suggested, the Gu house made by Long Hair Ancestor personally.
Rank eight Immortal Gu!
But now was not the time.
At the peak of the eighth level, it was complete emptiness. Only when the ten year blizzard strike would the Eighty-Eight True Yang Building show up.
In the following days, Man Tian lived in seclusion, cultivating as he waited for True Yang Building to open. He did not meet anyone nor sweet talked anyone. Reputation is only Important for the weak.
Giant Sun Immortal Venerable had a terrible reputation, he was a demonic Gu Master who toyed with women all over the region. But now? He was a revered Immortal Venerable!
When he expanded his harem, how many women's lives and happiness were ruined by him?
But now, no one publicly accused him of anything.
In this world, strength was everything.
On Earth, one had to be mindful of rumors, it was easy to ruin a person's life with some malicious lies. But that was because they were all mortals, the laws of the world was different, individuals could not surpass the power of society.
But here, it was different.
That was one of the reasons why Man Tian loved this world.
Half a month later, there was a water-like ripple in the golden sky.
...
My grammar is terrible as you can see and I rarely have time to go back to correct it. But I will do it one day!
