Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law-Chapter 443 Ancient Xin’s Secret

Xu Ping’an was unaware of the discussions among the people around him, and even if he were, he wouldn’t care.

He knew there were many who wanted to kill him, and he, too, wanted to kill them.

So as soon as these people made their move, he would ensure they vanished completely, never again posing a threat to himself or those close to him.

Towards enemies, Xu Ping’an was never one to show mercy.

"Brother Li, why are you all gathered here? What’s inside these Sect ruins?" Xu Ping’an curiously asked.

"Brother Xu, you don’t know?" Li Xuanqing asked, surprised.

Xu Ping’an shook his head; he had just arrived and was not very familiar with the situation here.

So many people gathered here surely meant there was something special about these Sect ruins.

"Xu Ping’an, you’re really clueless, not even knowing about this Sect. This is the Holy Heavenly Sect from the Early Ancient Era, one of the most powerful Sects," said Qin Yu without any reservation.

Xu Ping’an was used to Qin Yu’s blunt speech.

So he automatically filtered out her words.

"Holy Heavenly Sect? I seem to have heard of it, but the impression isn’t deep," Xu Ping’an mused to himself.

In his previous life, he had come across this Sect in an ancient book, but the introduction was brief, merely mentioning that the Holy Heavenly Sect was the number one Sect of the Ancient Times.

"It’s normal for Brother Xu not to know; nowadays, very few people are aware of the Ancient Times. But you should have heard of the Supreme Immortal Palace and the Primordial Ancient Demon Palace, right?" Li Xuanqing asked back.

Xu Ping’an nodded; he had heard about the Supreme Immortal Palace and the Primordial Ancient Demon Palace from Tang Xinyue before.

He knew a bit about the two major forces of the Ancient Immortal Realm, but not much.

"Then do you know that the Supreme Empress Lord who established the Supreme Immortal Palace and the Primordial Demon Emperor Lord from the Primordial Ancient Demon Palace both originated from this Holy Heavenly Sect?" Qin Yu quickly interjected.

Xu Ping’an was utterly astonished.

The Supreme Empress Lord and the Primordial Demon Emperor Lord both came from the Holy Heavenly Sect?

Two peerless female powerhouses, coming from the same Sect?

"But that doesn’t make sense, the Supreme Empress Lord is from the Human Race, and the Primordial Demon Emperor Lord comes from the Demon Race. How can they be from the same Sect?" Xu Ping’an expressed his doubt.

"Idiot, during the Primordial Era, the Human Race was not as strong as it is now; the Demon Race held a higher status than the Human Race. Only later, towards the end of the Primordial and the beginning of the Early Ancient Era, did the Demon Race gradually decline. By the Late Ancient Era, the Demon Race, along with the fall of the Primordial Ancient Demon Palace, all but faded away. That’s also why it’s called the Primordial Ancient Demon Palace instead of the Ancient Demon Palace," Qin Yu said, shooting Xu Ping’an a contemptuous glance and revealing a series of secrets.

Xu Ping’an was extremely surprised in his heart.

So in the Primordial Era, the Human Race wasn’t as strong as the Demon Race.

And it wasn’t until the Ancient Times that this situation was reversed?

"So you mean to say, at that time, the Holy Heavenly Sect was a Demon Sect?" Xu Ping’an pursued the question.

"Not exactly, it was a Sect that accepted all under the heavens. It was the largest Sect in the Early Ancient Era, dominating the second 10,000-year period for a full 10,000 years. Therefore, they took in both the Demon Race and the Human Race, making it a Sect without discrimination," Li Xuanqing explained.

Xu Ping’an understood.

But he was still shocked; a Sect that ruled for more than 10,000 years and accommodated both the Demon and Human Races must have been extremely powerful.

"Then what caused this Sect to fall into ruin?" Xu Ping’an asked.

"This actually has to do with the two great Empress Lords. They had a conceptual divergence, which led to the split of the Holy Heavenly Sect. One created the Supreme Immortal Palace, while the other one established the Primordial Ancient Demon Palace. They fought each other for a full 80,000 years," said Li Xuanqing.

Xu Ping’an was immensely shocked.

Fought for a full 80,000 years?

What kind of conceptual divergence could make them fight for so long?

Seeming to perceive Xu Ping’an’s confusion, Li Xuanqing replied, "I’m not sure about the specifics of this divergence, but I vaguely know a bit. The conceptual divergence between the Supreme Immortal Palace and the Primordial Ancient Demon Palace didn’t originate with them, but rather, it has been carried forward from the Primordial Era or even the Chaos Era. It’s the root of the ongoing conflict between the Human Dao Alliance and the Defying Heaven Alliance."

Xu Ping’an was astonished upon hearing those words.

"What kind of ideological divergence could persist from the chaos of the beginning until now?"

"What issue is so complex that so many powerful beings have failed to resolve it?"

Is it to say, everything, the shattering of the Immortal Realm, the sealing of the Source Ground of Dao Principle, and the collapse of the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Pillar, are all related to this ideological divergence?

"Xu Ping’an, this ideological divergence is the greatest secret of the Four Realms. Even I don’t know much, but I can tell you, for now, do not delve into this, it does you no good," said Gu Lingyan, who had been silent until then.

Xu Ping’an looked at Gu Lingyan with a face full of surprise.

Li Xuanqing and Li Mu also involuntarily turned their gazes towards Gu Lingyan.

It was apparent that Gu Lingyan knew something, but it definitely wasn’t much.

However, Xu Ping’an noticed a detail.

Gu Lingyan had mentioned the Four Realms, not the Fifth Realms or the Three Realms.

If she spoke of the biggest secret of the Four Realms, then naturally she couldn’t be referring to the present Four Great Spirit Realms.

Beyond the Mortal Realm, Immortal Realm, and Divine Realm, which other realm could there be?

Could the fabled Nether World truly exist?

The thoughts in Xu Ping’an’s mind soared. He pondered much.

His understanding of this world was embarrassingly scant.

"Gu Lingyan, are you with the Human Dao Alliance?" Xu Ping’an asked through a private transmission.

"My father is, but I am not necessarily so. I don’t know much about the affairs of the Defying Heaven Alliance and the Human Dao Alliance either. However, Xu Ping’an, I do not wish to see you get involved in them. In history, countless geniuses have been ensnared by this problem, eventually losing their luster," Gu Lingyan responded via transmission.

Xu Ping’an understood.

Gu Lingyan believed neither the Defying Heaven Alliance nor the Human Dao Alliance had the best solution for that matter.

She also didn’t want Xu Ping’an to be entangled in it, as once involved, it was easy to be trapped.

"I understand, thank you," Xu Ping’an replied.

"Yes, Xu Ping’an, regarding the Human Dao Alliance and the Defying Heaven Alliance, my advice is not to rush into taking sides. Even if the Human Dao Alliance courts you in the future, don’t be hasty to agree. Of course, the same goes for the Defying Heaven Alliance," Gu Lingyan advised.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ping’an laughed.

"The Defying Heaven Alliance has already approached me, but I turned them down, so they sent twenty Eighth Rank assassins after me. However, I killed them all," Xu Ping’an said with a laugh through transmission.

Gu Lingyan was taken aback.

Twenty Eighth Rank assassins sent to kill Xu Ping’an showed the Defying Heaven Alliance truly valued him.

However, the fact that Xu Ping’an managed to kill all of them was completely unexpected to Gu Lingyan.

But having witnessed Xu Ping’an’s intelligence and wisdom, she wasn’t overly surprised.

After all, Xu Ping’an was the kind of person who could continually create miracles.

Of course, she didn’t believe that Xu Ping’an had killed those twenty Eighth Rank assassins using his own strength.

Xu Ping’an knew what Gu Lingyan was thinking, but he didn’t bother to explain.

"Brother Xu, we meet again," just at that moment, a genial laugh rang out.

Xu Ping’an looked at the newcomer, a slight smile appearing on his face.
