THE LEGEND OF GENIUS THROUGHOUT THE REALM
The Supreme Elders
"Who are you?..."
When he heard Tian Lei's question, the old figure on top of the tree branch only smiled gently then started to open his mouth slowly.
"Do thieves have the right to question the identity of the host?..." Reply to the old man gently.
Hearing a reply like this again, Tian Lei's nose at this moment started twitching in annoyance. "Hey, is everyone here going to say that?..." Said Tian Lei in annoyance and the old man on the branch just smiled.
Shortly after, Sun Huo along with some of the Sovereign experts who had previously finally arrived there and they were shocked by Sun Tian who had already returned in his human form and was sprawled on the ground, although he did not faint, it seemed like Sun Tian could not move his body due to some broken bones.
"What the fuck?..." Said one of the Sovereign experts behind Sun Huo.
Sun Huo then turned his head towards Tian Lei and raised his eyebrows, he then looked towards a place that Tian Lei's current eyes were aiming at.
After looking up at a tree branch, Sun Huo's face seemed to show shock.
"Highest chief?!..." Sun Huo said in surprise.
"Give respect to the supreme elder!..." Sun Huo said quickly and he bowed towards the old man on the branch, as well as the several Sovereign experts behind him, they bowed respectfully as well.
The old figure called the supreme elder immediately nodded slowly and everyone who was bowing began to stand up straight again.
"All of you, take Sun Tian to the treatment center..." Said the supreme elder and everyone nodded.
The supreme elder then looked towards Tian Lei. "And you. Son, come with me..." Said the supreme elder and Tian Lei nodded seriously.
After the affairs in the middle of the forest were finished, everyone finally returned inside the stone wall together with Tian Lei.
.
Inside the stone wall, the highest group of elders were walking in the middle of the road with Tian Lei with them in the middle.
Some ordinary residents looked towards Tian Lei with puzzled gazes and were like looking at a strange figure to them.
Halfway through, the few Sovereign experts brought in by Sun Tian earlier immediately parted ways with Sun Huo and the supreme elder as they had to fill their posts.
The three remaining people then continued their footsteps and when they reached a wooden house that was quite tall, these three people finally stopped.
"We split up here. You guys take Sun Tian to the treatment hall and I'll have a little chat with this kid..." Said the supreme elder when he glanced at Sun Huo without turning around.
Sun Huo then nodded respectfully and started walking towards the left to bring Sun Tian whom he carried into the treatment hall.
"Let's go in..." Invite the supreme elder and Tian Lei nodded slowly.
The supreme elder then began to open the door of the modest building and Tian Lei walked up following behind him.
Arriving inside, Tian Lei was directed to a simple room that only made wooden tables and chairs.
"Please drink..." Said the supreme elder and Tian Lei nodded awkwardly.
The supreme elder took the glass that already contained warm tea at the table and drank it slowly.
"Before, may I know your name..." Said the supreme elder softly and in such a polite tone as he put his tea glass back on the table.
Tian Lei nodded and saluted the supreme elder. "I'm sorry for not introducing myself right away. This junior is named Tian Lei..." Said Tian Lei respectfully.
The supreme elder then smiled faintly. "so yeah. Although I have never been out of a small enough land for over a thousand years, but it seems like you are someone from the outside world, huh?..." Asked the supreme elder who was quite curious about Tian Lei.
Tian Lei nodded back. "really so. This junior is from the outside world. There's a reason why I should come here. Even if this place might just be my wish..." Tian Lei said seriously.
"Reason?..." The supreme elder raised his eyebrows when he felt interested in something Tian Lei called reason.
"I've met Emperor Sun Wu..." The words of Tian Lei and the supreme elder showed wide gazes filled with shock.
"really?! Where's she?! Where did you see the Emperor?!..." Asked the supreme elder hurriedly, he seemed excited to hear Tian Lei's words.
"That's..." Tian Lei was a bit hesitant to say what he was going to say at the moment.
Seeing the doubt from Tian Lei, the supreme elder then sighed. "Just say son, it is said that Emperor Sun Wu has indeed been dead for ten thousand years. How can I still hope for her living self..." Said the supreme elder sadly.
Tian Lei nodded. "Actually I met the soul remains of Emperor Sun Wu at a relic site of the ancient world. He told me that I would find the last legacy of my ancestors somewhere. And all that came to my mind was the Death Mist Lake. I entered that foggy place until I finally reached this place..." Said Tian Lei and the supreme elder listening carefully.
"Then, the last legacy you mean is the legacy stored in the Dark Sky hall?..." Asked the supreme elder and Tian Lei only put on a puzzled expression.
"I don't know what you mean by the dark sky hall, but for sure, I'm looking for Emperor Tiandi's legacy!..." Tian Lei said seriously.
The supreme elder closed in and sighed. "Then it's true. The place you're heading to is stepping through a dark sky hall..." Speak the highest elder.
"My teacher used to say that our clan's job was to keep the sky hall dark and wait for an heir from the outside world to come. Then, I will help you to enter into the dark sky hall..." Furthermore, the supreme elder and the look on Tian Lei's face became extremely pleased.
"Certainly?!..." Tian Lei asked who was very pleased with the cooperative attitude of the supreme elder.
The supreme elder nodded slowly. "Well, of course. You are the one my clan awaits. How can I not help a chosen one like you..." Speak the supreme elder softly.
Then, after saying those hopeful soft words to his interlocutor, the supreme elder immediately put on a sharp eye. "Well, but it's not that easy to open a dark sky hall..." Said the supreme elder and Tian Lei looking at him seriously.
"What do you mean?..." Tian Lei asked with great curiosity.
The supreme elder turned his face and sighed. "Requires a key to open the dark sky hall. But it is said that in order to test the chosen one, our former ancestors drowned the key somewhere. I know where it is, but I don't know how the key is..." Said the supreme elder and Tian Lei was a bit frustrated hearing that.
Tian Lei then smiled. "Well, whatever it is I'll get the key and get the last legacy..." Said Tian Lei and the supreme elder smiling in satisfaction with Tian Lei's attitude.
