"Let's go. Follow me into the palace."
The old storyteller nodded slightly to Su Zimo and the others and said.
"Now that this matter is settled, I'll take my leave first."
Patriarch Qing Cheng bowed slightly to the old storyteller and said respectfully.
"Yes, you can go back."
The old storyteller waved it off.
Patriarch Qing Cheng raised his head and glanced at Su Zimo casually. Then, he turned around and swiped his palm across the void, causing a huge crack to appear in the void!
Patriarch Qing Cheng leaped into the crack and disappeared.
In the blink of an eye, the crack gradually healed and returned to normal.
"Tearing through the void casually is the power of the Mahayana realm."
The old storyteller explained, "If one can enter the Mahayana realm and become a Patriarch, they can tear through the void at any time and traverse 5,000 kilometers!"
Su Zimo nodded, still recalling the gaze that Patriarch Qing Cheng gave him before he left.
That gaze was filled with hostility.
Because of Su Zimo, Half-Martial Ancestor Qing Ze's position as the Palace Lord was abolished.
Even Patriarch Qing Cheng was berated by the old storyteller and lost face. Although he did not say anything, he must be resentful!
Su Zimo glanced at the old storyteller again.
He had met this old man back in the capital of Great Zhou. However, who would have thought that this old man who played around in the mortal world would have such a powerful identity and status!
Even Mahayana Patriarchs had to bow down and obey his orders!
"Senior, are you an emperor?"
Su Zimo could not suppress his curiosity and could not help but ask.
The old storyteller smiled. "Yes."
That simple word caused Su Zimo and the others to feel their hearts skip a beat.
Although they had a premonition, it was a different feeling when the old storyteller admitted it. The legendary emperor was standing right beside them!
Demoness Ji blinked and asked, "Then, what's your title, senior?"
Generally speaking, emperors had specific titles.
For example, the Human Emperor, Saber Emperor, Thunder Emperor and so on.
"My title is' Xuan '," Ye Futian said.
The old storyteller said indifferently.
Profound Sovereign!
Su Zimo thought for a moment and asked, "Then what does the so-called 'storyteller' mean?"
"Storytellers are a special existence in the Enigma Palace. They're not bound by any of the Enigma Palace's rules!"
The old storyteller said, "This existence can be traced back to the Ancient Era. Ancestral Master Linglong's disciples were the first storytellers."
"In every generation, there is only one storyteller. The responsibility of a storyteller is to wander the mortal world and tell stories everywhere. "
Su Zimo had seen the storyteller's storytelling process before, and it was indeed very good. Most of the stories were about supernatural beings and legends.
Su Zimo had once listened to a short part of it, and it was indeed very fascinating.
What the old storyteller said was as if it had really happened. When he spoke of it, it was as if he had been there and immersed in it.
However, this storyteller's position in the Enigma Palace was so noble and special. His responsibility was actually to play the world and tell stories everywhere. It was truly a little absurd.
"Why would the Enigma Palace establish such an existence?"
Demoness Ji asked in confusion.
"Do you guys know the reason why Fairy Ling Long established the Enigma Palace?"
The old storyteller asked instead of answering.
Su Zimo and the others shook their heads.
The old storyteller said, "The ancient sages once had a saying of the Three Immortals. The first was to establish virtue, the second was to establish merit and the third was to establish one's word. It's known as immortality."
"Merit, merit, and words?"
Su Zimo murmured softly in deep thought.
The old storyteller continued, "The reason why the Enigma Palace was established was to establish one's word! The so-called word is to record history, extend merit, pass down civilization and inherit the Great Dao. "
"There are many things that, as time passes and people grow old, they will gradually be forgotten by others. However, the Enigma Palace will not forget. Instead, it will record these things and pass them down! "
"I've traveled the mortal world for tens of thousands of years and talked about the dark and tragic days of the human race in the primordial era. I talked about the ancient war and the biographies of the emperors."
"All of these things happened in reality and were recorded in the Enigma Palace. This is the civilization of the human race!"
Su Zimo and the others were dumbfounded and shocked.
Su Zimo had not expected that the story of the old storyteller's travels was not made up – it was something that had happened in the past!
More than that, he had not thought that the reason why the Enigma Palace was established was not to pass down Dao techniques and secret skills, but to pass down the civilization and soul of the entire human race!
That was the reason why Fairy Ling Long established the Enigma Palace!
The old storyteller stopped in his tracks and gazed into the distance, lamenting, "The world changes and there's no race that will prosper forever. Ancestral Master Ling Long had long predicted that the fortune of the human race would decline one day as well. "
"Perhaps, the human race will encounter a calamity and experience hardships. However, as long as the Enigma Palace exists, the civilization of the human race will be passed down forever!"
"As long as the civilization is not destroyed, the human race will rise again one day! One day, the human race will welcome a glorious era like the ancient era where multiple emperors rose! "
When they heard that, be it Su Zimo, Demoness Ji and Ming Zhen, all of them looked in the direction of the Enigma Palace with deep respect.
Instantly, everyone felt as though they were reversing the river of time and saw the peerless woman who stood on this land in the ancient era.
Although Fairy Ling Long was not conferred the title of emperor, she was worthy of praise!
A moment later, Demoness Ji asked again, "Senior, doesn't that mean that many things about Tianhuang Mainland are recorded in the Enigma Palace?" “
"That's right,"
The old storyteller nodded with a smile.
"Senior, what are the biographies of the emperors that you were talking about Just Now?"
The old storyteller smiled. "Enigma Palace will create a biography for anyone who is conferred the title of emperor and leave behind a biography that belongs to them."
"Wow,"
Demoness Ji exclaimed and said enviously, "That's truly something that will go down in history and be passed down through the ages."
That was a great honor!
In the cultivation world, the legends of emperors were extremely widespread and most of them were because of Enigma Palace.
At that point, the old storyteller suddenly turned around and looked at Su Zimo with deep anticipation in his eyes. "Araki Takeshi, Enigma Palace has already decided to create a biography for you alone!"
"Ah!"
Su Zimo's heart skipped a beat and he asked instinctively, "Didn't they say that only emperors are qualified to create their own biographies?"
"The reason why they're creating a biography for you has nothing to do with being an emperor. It's because you're Araki Takeshi and you created the Wu Dao to impart martial arts to all living beings!"
The old storyteller said, "Even the ancient emperors did not create such merit. That alone is worth creating a biography for you alone to be passed down through the ages!"
Throughout history, Su Zimo was the only one who created a biography for himself without being an emperor!
The old storyteller continued, "I didn't write the name of the biography. That's because I don't know what your future accomplishments will be. Perhaps, even becoming an emperor isn't your end. "
"I hope that I'll be fortunate enough to finish writing this biography in this lifetime. If I can't, I'll have to rely on the storyteller of my next life." “
With that said, the old storyteller glanced at Lin Xuanji beside him.
