The more she saw, the more curious Jun Wu Xie was about how powerful the fallen Dark Emperor was. Everything on the murals proved that the Dark Emperor's achievements were unparalleled in the Middle Realm. On the murals, there was a picture that left a deep impression on Jun Wu Xie. A masked man sat high up on a high seat, and before him, were twenty five people kneeling.
They knelt on the ground in a staircase formation.
Four people in the lead, nine people behind them, and then twelve people behind them.
If Jun Wu Xie's guess was not wrong, these should be the twenty five people who stood at the top of the pyramid in the Middle Realm.
Four Sides, Nine Temples, Twelve Palaces.
Before the Dark Emperor appeared, they were the hegemons of a part of the Middle Realm. But when the Dark Emperor descended upon the Dark Regions, these top exponents had no choice but to step down from their positions at the top, to submit to the Dark Emperor.
That was the might of the Dark Emperor.
The twenty five hegemons of the Middle Realm, before him, could only bow their heads in submission.
Jun Wu Xie had crossed swords with people from the Twelve Palaces before and she knew that the might of the Twelve Palaces was not just for show. Those people were just a small part of the power of the Twelve Palaces. Besides the grey robed man, the others should not be considered as the core power of the Twelve Palaces. But even so, when they encountered each other, they still fought with great difficulty.
And above those people, were the Elders and Palace Lords of the Twelve Palaces.
Their might, was not something that Jun Wu Xie and her companions could handle.
One Region, Four Sides, Nine Temples, Twelve Palaces.
The might of the Twelve Palaces was at the bottom of all the powers and it was only because of their large numbers and the fact that they were united against outsiders, that they barely managed to retain the title of the Twelve Palaces. But if any one of the palaces stood alone, not to mention one Region, any one of the Four Sides or the Nine Temples would be able to crush them to death!
From the looks of it, the might of the Dark Regions, must really be as terrifying as the rumours said.
Otherwise, after so many years had passed and the Dark Emperor had fallen for so long, why would the various powers in the Middle Realm still fear the might of the Dark Regions, not daring to expose the fact that they were investigating the Dark Emperor's tomb?
They had clearly obtained a part of the map but they did not dare to grow it. Instead, they quietly sent it to the Lower Realm, to let the people of the Lower Realm deal with it. The fear of the Dark Regions must have been deeply ingrained in their hearts and they did not even have the guts to keep the map in the Middle Realm.
"Those who bully the weak will finally get their retribution." Jun Wu Xie could not help but laugh out coldly. The Twelve Palaces were extremely arrogant but they had been completely dominated by the Dark Regions.
Things in the world were just like that. If one couldn't strengthen oneself and reach a higher position, one would suffer a backlash.
When a boat sailed against the current, one would either advance or fall back.
As Jun Wu Xie was walking, she suddenly noticed that the light from the fire above her head had a slight fluctuation. The light from the fire flickered violently, illuminating everything within the walkway, causing chaos.
Jun Wu Xie immediately became one hundred and twenty percent alert, every cell in her body maintaining a high level of tension.
According to her calculations, the Dark Emperor's tomb was sealed off from all sides and there shouldn't be anyone standing guard inside. Afterall, there wasn't a supply of food and water in here and it would be almost impossible for someone to survive for hundreds or even thousands of years in here. But there was one thing that Jun Wu Xie did not dare to be too certain about.
That was Wen Yu...
Wen Yu had accidentally stumbled into the Dark Emperor's tomb and for some unknown reason, he had been sent to the top of the Heaven's End Cliff!
