Xian Li kept staring at Zhurong, not beleiveing what he was hearing.
"And Now comes THE MOST IMPORTANT part."
Xian Li looked at him, as if saying 'what you told wasn't even the most immortant part!?!?!?!'
" The Legend Of The First Celestial Emperor."
"Wait! How dod you know so much?!"
Xian Li asked.
Zhurong stopped and looked at him. After a moment of looking, he shook his head and said-
"I can't tell unless you are quali-"
But he was interrupted by the sound of slow footsteps of a person. He looked towards the sound of footsteps in amazement.
From the darkness around the light came a shadow of someone, who held a stick.
He slowly walked and reached the light where the light was and fianally, he was visible.
He wore a long, pale green robe that almost touched the ground. His face was hidden behind a smooth jade mask with no eyes or mouth, and his hair white like that of an old man(which he really is).He held a white wooden staff, old and carved with strange symbols. He didn't speak or make a sound, but when he stood, everything felt quiet—like the world has gone still.
He removed his plain mask, reveling his face which was supposed to be full of wrinkles but had not a single wrinkle on his face. His face was calm as still water and smooth like a polished jade.
When Xian Li looked at him, he felt....peaceful.
When he first heard the footsteps, he was shocked and cautiosly looked towardws the sound. He had checked, not intentionally, the entire house and found no one except Zhurong. But now someone was standing in front of him. His thoughts were broken off by the voice of Zhurong who kept his head a liitle low, showing his respect in front of that old man.
"Xian Li, This is the Elder who told me about all this. He is one of the few of the surviving of The Silent Jade Monks."
"Umm...Who?"
Xian Li asked embarassingly.
Zhurong looked at the elder standing, who, without looking, told to stop and started chanting something. After a few moments, his chanting was complete. Just when he stopped, the dome around them became shining more brightly, as if it was strengthened.
Then he opened his mouth, which seemed like it was closed for many years, and was opened for the first time after that.
"I am Mo Yun, a successor of The Silent Jade Monks. We are born normally but when we turn 50, we have to face the trials to awaken our Ancestoral Memories about The Great Celestial Emperor. However, not many survive it. I was one of the lucky ones who passed the trials and awakened the memories. And I am the one who will tell you about The Truth. The Legend Of The Celestial Emperor."
Xian Li slowly nodded. Mo Yun continued-
"When The Great War ended, then came the era of The Heavens, as people call it. You are now already informed about it."
Xian Li ndded again.
"Hmmm. The Heavens were known to everyone and everybody knew that they were a group of people, not a natural power. But The Heavens were cruel. For many yeras, nobody took action against them. This emboldened them, and they became more and more selfish. They made Heavenly Tribulation and many other things, from which they and only They benfited.
This was the time when the person who would later be known as The Celestial Emperor took action. He somehow reached the peak of Empyrean Sovereign Realm. At First, he took action against The Heavens alone. But He could not defeat them, especially when they were always together.
And That was when THe Celestial Blade was forged.
