Chapter 950: Taking Vows
Lin Wu’s words contained some heavy information that made many rethink their understanding of the entire world.
“This Calamity Fiend alone is a huge pain for us and there are supposed to be more?” One of the kings said with fear.
“Yes… I have confirmation for at least one such being.” Lin Wu confirmed. “Though there might be more. Or rather the longer it is allowed the exist the more it will spread.” He added.
~Gasp~
“Sssssss… What should we do then?” The kings were terrified.
Having experienced the terror once, they were traumatized. The other kings of the northern half of the Long Continent weren’t as affected before, but having witnessed it all at the Cang Lan sect, they couldn’t take it lightly either.
“I’ve already talked about this with the Lian clan before and asked for their assistance. But now I’ll open it up for everyone.” Lin Wu spoke, making everyone’s expression turn strained.
“I ask everyone to help find the traces of the Shadow Calamity. I’ll show you the image of the beast that I know for sure exists first though.” Lin Wu said before creating a quick formation.
~shua~
In the next second, another screen formed in the air and showed the beast that Lin Wu had been searching for a long time.
“This beast has not been seen more than once. I’ve scoured the southern half of the Long Continent and it is certainly not there. Either it has managed to seclude itself beyond my senses, or it is in the Northern part.” Lin Wu explained.
Everyone watched the screen carefully, memorizing the appearance of the beast.
“As the ancestor of the Long Clan, I Long Qing vow to help you find the traces of the Shadow Calamity as well as this beast.” Long Qing was the first to declare.
“The Twin Peak Sword Sect vows to find the Calamity Fiend, Shadow Calamity as well as the beast, too.”
“The Polar Axe sect vows…”
“The Three Streams sect vows…”
“The Mountain Mist Sect vows…”
“The Solitary Blossom Sect vows…”
“The Quandian Sect vows…”
One by one, every sect among the top sects vowed to help Lin Wu. The kingdoms did it next, and about ten minutes later, everyone had agreed to do it.
“King Lin Wu, considering you’ve lived for a long time, you must have more information about this Shadow Calamity, right? You’ve fought it several times before, after all.” The Patriarch of the Polar Axe sect asked.
The Polar Axe Sect was the third ranked sect in the entire Long Continent and was said to have a produced an Immortal once in the past. Though if it really was a true or just a rumor was debatable.
“Yes, please tell us more about your past encounters with it. Maybe we’ll be able to figure something out.” The Patriarch of the Twin peak Sword Sects asked.
“I intended to talk about it from the start. There is a lot of history that seems to have been wiped out in the past ten thousand years…” Lin Wu said, making Long Qing and Long Fei a little nervous.
For a minute, Lin Wu stood in silence as if thinking.
“I’ll start with what was possibly one of the most important changes to this world. And still affects it even now.” Lin Wu decided.
“Something that affects it even now?” the people were intrigued.
“This is something that affects the guardian clans too.” Lin Wu said while looking at Long Qing and Long Fei.
~gulp~
Everyone watched with bated breaths, feeling heavy.
“I think the Long clan might know a little about this already. After all, you should have the legacy of the Azure Dragon Clan.” Lin Wu threw out.
“This… King Lin Wu, this concerns the secrets of the Long clan. It cannot be spoken about easily.” Long Qing said with difficultly.
“Haha! That’s a good joke.” Lin Wu suddenly laughed, making everyone confused. “Only in a mortal world like the Ming Dao world would one think that the Azure Dragon clan is a secret or information related to it is secret.”
His words were rather piercing to the Long Clan people.
“You all might think information related to the Azure Dragon Clan is very important.” Lin Wu took a pause, “but it is not. Once you leave this world and wander the universe, you will learn just how famous the Azure Dragon Clan is.”
“The Azure Dragon clan is famous?! Really?” The Patriarch of the Long clan said with disbelief.
Being the patriarch, he had access to a lot more information than pretty much everyone, but even he didn’t know everything. The ancestors had actually kept some major bits of information restrained.
“They are not just famous, they are household names. But not just them either… there are more.” Lin Wu spoke. “The Azure Dragon Clan, The White Tiger Clan, The Black Tortoise Clan and… The Vermillion Bird Clan.”
“White tiger… Black tortoise… Vermillion bird…” The people subconsciously repeated these names.
“Wait a minute… aren’t they?” Shirong quickly realized.
“The Gui clan, and the Hu clan… the other two guardians’ clans of our world. Are they related to them?” The Patriarch of the Twin Peak Sword sect asked, his expression of incredulity.
“Indeed.” Lin Wu nodded his head. “These four clan names I just spoke of are the Four Guardian beasts that protect the Four Cardinal directions. They are present all over the worlds and often make their temples in mortal and immortal worlds.” Lin Wu said, blowing everyone’s minds.
But this was merely the start of his description.
“Still… not every world is equal and receives the same level of attention. While the guardian beast clans do send their members to different worlds, their ranks vary too.” Lin Wu said, before looking at the Long Clan ancestors.
Their expressions had turned a little green, and it was clear that they were not finding this well.
“The guardian clans in the Ming Dao world are… Merely Descendant beasts from those clans.”
