Chapter 1369 1367: The Killing Game of the Five Elements Realm!
There are five powerful energies in the Five Elements Realm.
Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth!
Those who control these five energies have become the Golden Clan, Wood Clan, Water Clan, Fire Clan, and Earth Clan respectively!
Each clan governs a powerful energy, without distinction of hierarchy or strength, and on the surface, the people of the five clans live harmoniously within the Five Elements Realm.
However.
Where there are people, there is conflict.
The more people there are, the more mixed and tumultuous it becomes, inevitably leading to those who are restless and dissatisfied with mediocrity.
Therefore.
Wars will break out!
Over tens of thousands of years, countless wars have erupted between the five clans, each time attempting to swallow the other, but each time ending fruitlessly and returning in vain.
Gradually, people came to understand that none of the five clans could conquer the others.
Yet they were unwilling to accept peace and tranquility.
So they continuously searched for new excitement.
Now.
Their latest excitement is the Fenghua Hui!
Let all the young talents from the clans participate in the Fenghua Hui, and only the final victor can walk away unscathed.
Lan Zhengqing gained fame from the Fenghua Hui.
Moreover.
He participated three times in a row and emerged unscathed from the Fenghua Hui each time, taking the top prize.
The name Fenghua Hui sounds like a place for drinking and singing, a social venue, but unexpectedly, it is so brutal.
The five clans secretly compete in this way, suppressing the young generation of the other clans, even massacring them in their youth, causing the other clans to completely lose their young members!
Thus, over time, without young blood, a clan will inevitably decline.
At this point, the other clans can take advantage of the situation, trampling the weakened clan underfoot, dominating for tens or even millions of years!
The Fire Clan is currently in such a state.
In one Fenghua Hui after another, the outstanding young talents were almost all slaughtered, leaving not a single gifted and talented person behind, leading to the current decline.
The only young survivor from the Fenghua Hui is Xu Tianrui.
As for Zhu Qilue, he didn't even qualify to register.
Emperor Jade babbled a lot, some of it logical, some fragmented. These messages were gleaned through Divine Sense from the minds of others in the Fire Clan, so piecing together this useful information was quite good.
Lin Fan listened, his head hanging lower, almost tucked into his trousers, unbearably embarrassed.
"Master, what's wrong?"
Emperor Jade asked suspiciously, seeing Lin Fan's strange behavior.
"Are you angry again?!"
"No... no... nothing... I'm fine..." Lin Fan quickly pulled his head out, laughing awkwardly twice.
He really misunderstood Emperor Jade; this guy turned out to really be helping him gather intelligence, which explains why he hadn't appeared earlier...
His eyes gleamed, quickly changing the subject.
"What would happen if the powers of the Five Clans were combined?"
Only Lin Fan would come up with such a wild idea.
The five clans guard their respective energies like treasure, how could they possibly share their energy with others.
It's simply a pipe dream!
They're too busy hiding it, how could they share it.
Therefore, the five energies have never been combined before, nor has anyone ever considered bringing them together.
"Master, please stop entertaining unrealistic ideas... This is impossible. The five energies are held by the five groups, each guarding them very tightly, never transmitting them, how could they be combined." Emperor Jade shakes his head helplessly; only Lin Fan has such flights of fancy.
"By the way, you mentioned I wasn't the first from the Sumeru Continent to arrive in the Five Elements Realm, what does that mean?" Lin Fan quickly raised another question.
Emperor Jade's expression suddenly became serious, speaking solemnly: "Even though after arriving in the Five Elements Realm, we have only been to the Fire Clan and nowhere else. But just here, I sensed the aura of the Sumeru Continent, a feeling completely different from the Five Elements Realm, which people from the Five Elements Realm do not possess."
"Are you saying you found it on a particular person?" Lin Fan asked curiously.
"No, on everyone." Emperor Jade replied seriously.
Lin Fan was taken aback, staring at Emperor Jade's expression, who didn't seem to be joking. What does this mean, isn't this contradictory? Isn't it something Five Elements Realm people don't have, yet everyone has it, what does this mean?
"Are you teasing me?"
"No, not at all. This aura is very interesting. It's just that now people from the Five Elements Realm no longer have such strong traces; only people from the Sumeru Continent have these characteristics. However, the people now in the Five Elements Realm still retain this aura, albeit very faintly, but it's the same as those from the Sumeru Continent."
"It's like your ancestors gave you this appearance, but through years of change, you look completely different from your ancestors now, yet some features, some aura, some part still bear the mark of your ancestors."
Emperor Jade explained, and Lin Fan finally understood.
It's just like inheritance, only in the Five Elements Realm such inheritance is an invisible and intangible aura, perceptible only through Divine Sense.
"I see... does that mean the people of the Five Elements Realm actually come from the Sumeru Continent?"
"I don't know, I can't be sure, just proposing such a hypothesis."
"Hehe, interesting! Truly interesting! The pioneers came here, yet blocked the way for those who followed."
There are still too many unsolved mysteries in the Five Elements Realm, so I cannot die in this suffocating prison.
Lin Fan thought coldly, suddenly slapping his forehead and shouting.
"Right! Gong Wenyao, do you have any information on him?!"
"..."
However, this time, Emperor Jade did not speak, showing a troubled expression and gently shook his head.
"No... this guy is too mysterious, aside from knowing he's called Gong Wenyao, the High Priest of the Fire Clan, I haven't found a single piece of information..."
"It's alright, it's not your fault." Lin Fan smiled, comforting him. "I really misjudged you before, even thought you betrayed me. It is a hard task gathering all this information, thank you."
"Tch! Such a fake display; men are all big hypocrites!" Emperor Jade learned from Su Qiong's words, cursing fiercely.
But then she smiled. "However, you'll soon know about Gong Wenyao."
"Hmm?" Lin Fan paused.
"I think Clan Leader Zhu Sui will tell you everything. He's keeping you here to protect you, avoiding Gong Wenyao making a move. He surely isn't a match for Gong Wenyao now, and if Gong Wenyao kills you, he'd lose a perfect chance to turn the tides." Emperor Jade smiled lightly.
Click!
Click!
Click!
Outside the jail, chaotic footsteps sounded, it seemed that Zhu Sui indeed came with people.
"I'll withdraw first, rest assured, Emperor Jade will ensure your safety wholeheartedly." Emperor Jade said respectfully, cutting off the Divine Sense.
Indeed!
Light sparked in the jail, it was Zhu Sui and Zhu Qilue.
Lin Fan was about to greet them but suddenly noticed another person beside Zhu Sui, surprisingly it was Lan Zhengqing!
