Chapter 5948: Surviving Mecha
âThe other half of the contribution is the leadership of Virtuous King. Soaring Phoenix Commander dominated militarily while the king ruled wisely, it was truly a golden age.â Chu Zhu said.
âThey did great.â Li Qiye nodded with a smile.
âI think if our ancestor didnât leave, Insane Immortal might never have risen to prominence and Insane Court wouldnât have fallen.â Chu Zhu glanced at the statue and said.
âWhere did she go?â Li Qiye asked.
âThatâs another detail we do not know.â Chu Zhu shook her head: âShe handed over her martial authority and Insane Spear before leaving the dao lineage.â
âI see.â Li Qiye stared at the statue.
âA record stated her departure might have been due to Virtuous Kingâs passing, or that she believed her mission was finished after taking Insane Court to its height and decided to retire.â Chu Zhu went on.
âGot it.â Li Qiye smiled.
âThereâs another theory, our ancestor was invited by Lord of Life and Death and went to that domain. A similar one said that it wasnât an invitation. When our Virtuous King was near death, she gave the order to send the ancestor to Life and Death Heaven.â Chu Zhu said.
Li Qiye glanced in a particular direction after hearing this.
âWith the two leaders gone, Insane Courtâs decline was inevitable. They somehow lost Insane Spear and Insane Immortal Sword afterward. It didnât have to turn out this way.â Chu Zhu lamented.
During its prime, Insane Court had the perfect combination - wise leadership and military might. It produced numerous geniuses, culminating in an unprecedented height.
âI thought Radiant Longevity was near its demise.â Chu Zhu was surprised.
âAncestor, this was indeed true but after a successful excavation of ruins, they trained some new capable alchemists.â The disciple said: âBut this was around when you left, they started declining again. The strongest ones in the alliance currently are Insane Gate, Eight-treasure School, and Cloudcrossing Mountain.â
âRadiant Longevity learned nothing.â Chu Zhu had a serious expression: âThe mecha excavated nearly put an end to them yet they tried again?â
âWhat mecha?â Li Qiye looked interested.
âYoung Noble, they excavated a living mecha.â Chu Zhu said.
Her respectful attitude made the others wonder. She was an immortal-like being in their eyes, so how did this mortal earn her respect?
âRuins and a living mecha?â Li Qiyeâs brows furrowed.
âThis is so long ago, it refers to a sect under the jurisdiction of the current Radiant Longevity destroyed by an immortal.â Chu Zhu said.
âA sect was worthy of this much attention from a so-called immortal?â Li Qiye said.
âRadiant Longevity was extraordinary back then and was made up of two dao lineages, Yang Radiance Sect and Longevity Valley.â Chu Zhu said.
âI see.â Li Qiye understood: âThe sect was Everlasting Kingdom, right?â
âYes, that is it.â She was startled by his knowledge.
