The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

Chapter 1567: Chapter 1665: Unparalleled Eight Emperors

“Several big shots? What kind of big shots?” Fang Lin couldn’t help but ask.

The woman in the black dress sneered disdainfully, “Just a few cowards who cling to life and fear death, each possessing considerable strength yet turning into shrinking turtles at critical moments.”

Fang Lin frowned, the woman in black’s words were vague and unclear, making it hard for him to judge whether what she said was true or false.

“The important figures you mentioned, who are they?” Fang Lin continued to ask.

“The Unparalleled Eight Emperors, I’m afraid that not many people in the current era know of these eight individuals,” the woman in black said.

“The Unparalleled Eight Emperors?” Fang Lin’s eyes showed a hint of confusion, he really had never heard of the Unparalleled Eight Emperors.

Fang Lin was sure that in his previous life, there was no such thing as the Unparalleled Eight Emperors, perhaps they were individuals that emerged after he had perished while refining the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill.

“It is unlikely that many in the Nine Countries would know, but in the Seven Seas and the three sect, many ancient texts surely recorded the matters of the Unparalleled Eight Emperors. The three sect itself was also supported by the Unparalleled Eight Emperors; initially, it was the juniors and disciples of the Unparalleled Eight Emperors who formed it,” the woman in black said, truly revealing the origins of the three sect.

The Seven Seas three sect has a longer history compared to the Nine Countries, as by the end of the Ancient Era, the three sect had already begun to take shape. However, at that time, it wasn’t yet called the three sect, but merely a group of Martial Artists who escaped a great calamity.

It was only after the calamity passed, and the great war between the Human Clan and the Demon Beast Clan broke out, that these Martial Artists who had fled the calamity secretly escaped overseas, thus forming the initial structure of the Seven Seas three sect.

The Unparalleled Eight Emperors were also eight powerful individuals with mighty strength that stood at the pinnacle of the Human Clan during the Ancient Era.

Of course, the so-called peak of the Human Clan is still beneath the Martial Lords. Even combined, the Unparalleled Eight Emperors are absolutely no match for a single Martial Lord.

There are only two or three Martial Lords, and they cannot be judged by common standards, existing high above like deities.

The Unparalleled Eight Emperors possessed extremely high cultivation and strength, gradually gaining prominence in the middle and late phases of the Ancient Era and became the most dazzling existences of the Human Clan at that time.

The Flame Emperor, who created the Ancient Lamp of Flame God, was also one of the Unparalleled Eight Emperors.

“Among the Unparalleled Eight Emperors, the Golden Buddha Emperor created the Buddhist Sect, Black White Taoist Sage established the Taoist Sect, and the Sky Tower Sword Master formed a Confucian Sect. The three sect was indeed created single-handedly by these three fellows,” the woman in black said, although her tone seemed somewhat disdainful when mentioning these three ancient powerhouses.

“The three sect was created by these three individuals?” Fang Lin asked.

The woman in black nodded, smiling and said, “These three fellows, among the Unparalleled Eight Emperors, had the worst reputations but decent strength. However, they were so cowardly, lacking even the courage to fight for the Human Clan, only knowing how to hide far away with their descendants and followers.”

“Then what is your relationship with the Unparalleled Eight Emperors?” Fang Lin looked at the woman in black.

Upon hearing this, the woman in black casually said, “The disciples taken by these three fellows and I are of the same generation, and the Sky Tower Sword Master is also my sworn father.”

Fang Lin and Dugu Nian exchanged glances, now they more or less understood — it turned out that this woman in black had such a relationship with the three sect and the Unparalleled Eight Emperors.

No wonder the people of the three sect had been so dedicated to rescuing the woman in black back then; her position in the three sect was pretty much equivalent to that of a founding ancestor.

“This great calamity you mentioned, what exactly is it?” Fang Lin finally asked the most crucial question, also the one he most wanted to know the answer to.

The Great Calamity, Fang Lin had heard about from Old Dried Corpse Jin Zhulong, and from both the avatars of his mother Bai Qingxue and his father Fang Qingye, and even the lingering thoughts of the Flame Emperor had mentioned it not long ago.

But what exactly this so-called Great Calamity was, Fang Lin still did not understand.

Once, Fang Lin naively thought that the Great Calamity referred to when the sun rose ten-fold in the sky, but upon deeper contemplation, although terrifying, it was resolved by Martial Lord Hou Yi, and should not be considered the Great Calamity, especially since his parents were still deeply affected by the so-called Great Calamity, and Old Dried Corpse Jin Zhulong was oddly reticent about it, never revealing it to Fang Lin.

In Fang Lin’s conjectures, although the ten suns were indeed a calamity, it was not the entirety of the calamity; it should be a part of the Great Calamity.

Because of this Great Calamity, Martial Lord Hou Yi perished, the whereabouts of the Dragon Bones Bow became unknown, and the life and death of Martial Lord Mo Shouhe remained a mystery, seemingly vanished from this world.

His mother and father bore a heavy responsibility; Fang Lin did not know what they were up to, but it appeared to be connected with the so-called Great Calamity.

And now, Old Dried Corpse Jin Zhulong had also left to search for the mighty existence that had subdued him, which was related to that terrifying calamity.

There was also the Hidden Kill Hall Master, the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree, all these clues seemed to be pointing to that Great Calamity, but even with this knowledge, Fang Lin could not ultimately deduce what that Great Calamity exactly was.

He desperately wanted to know everything, and hoped someone could tell him everything; various signs and obscure clues were reminding Fang Lin that perhaps the beginning of that Great Calamity was the very moment he originally failed in concocting the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill.

The woman in the black dress’s expression changed, she shook her head: “What the Great Calamity is, I do not know either, I was suppressed at that time, completely unaware of what occurred outside, I, like you, also want to know what happened back then, but there remains no yield till today.”

Fang Lin was not surprised; if this woman in the black dress was not lying, then indeed she had not experienced the Great Calamity that occurred back then, so her ignorance was understandable.

However, if Fang Lin wanted to learn what exactly happened during the Great Calamity, it seemed he needed to take a trip to the Seven Seas, find the people from Pill Saint Palace of old times, and consult ancient texts of the three sects, to gather more clues from the Unparalleled Eight Emperors.

“Is there anything else you’d like to know?” The woman in the black dress asked Fang Lin with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.

“Do you know who the Hidden Kill Hall Master is?” Fang Lin thought for a moment before asking this question.

“Hidden Kill Hall Master? I do not know,” said the woman in the black dress.

“Then do you know about an eyeball?” Fang Lin asked again.

The woman in the black dress slightly colored, “I’ve seen it, but it’s very strange, I don’t know what it actually is, it was that very eyeball that instigated me to confront your Sky Swallowing Palace.”

“What?” Both Fang Lin and Dugu Nian were startled to hear this, the woman in the black dress was incited by that eerie eyeball?

And previously when several Swordsmen from Sealing Sword Pavilion appeared, that eyeball also resurfaced, it probably was connected to Sealing Sword Pavilion as well.

“Will you let me go?” the woman in the black dress suddenly blurted out.

Fang Lin focused his mind, telling her, “No, but we will not kill you either.”
