Chapter 6091 Whale Necropolis

When Long Chen saw Mountain Lord Qingyu, he noticed that she had already become a third Heavenstage Sovereign Lord.

At another time, this would have shocked him. But after learning that Long Can had also reached the third Heavenstage Sovereign Lord level, he was no longer surprised.

While Long Chen’s generation of experts was advancing, the senior generation was recovering their lost cultivation. With their foundations, once they absorbed enough energy, their recovery speed would far surpass the juniors’ advancement rate.

However, Long Chen couldn’t help but wonder—what kind of existence would Mountain Lord Qingyu be at her peak?

“Little brother, your body...”

The old drunkard jolted in surprise upon seeing Long Chen. He rushed over, grabbed his arm, and sighed in awe. “Are you planning to become a Sovereign through your physical body?”

Long Chen was about to ask what he meant when Mountain Lord Qingyu grabbed the drunkard and muttered, “Just drink your wine.”

This drunkard was none other than the ancestor of the violet blood race. Calling Long Chen “little brother” completely muddled the seniority lines. If he got drunk enough to drop the “little” and just call Long Chen “brother,” were the others supposed to treat him as an equal to an ancestor?

“Greetings, Mountain Lord!” Long Chen said respectfully, bowing deeply.

Mountain Lord Qingyu didn’t waste time. She got straight to the point.

“Your mother is currently with the Lei family branch—the sharp spear of the violet blood race. They are basically our protectors. The Lei bloodline possesses cold and wild lightning attributes. Their power is immense. During the tribulation of the primal chaos era, the Lei family fought to the death to protect us. Only a few weak members were sent into hiding. Without their sacrifice, our Sovereign Mountain would have lost many bloodlines, and many of our branches would have been wiped out.

“The Lei family is the greatest contributor to our survival. We wouldn’t be here without them. Somehow, your mother found this isolated Lei family branch, but... they’re currently trapped in the Whale Necropolis.”

As she explained, Long Chen learned that this so-called Whale Necropolis was the final resting place of a Heaven Whale.

A Heaven Whale was something Long Chen had only heard about in legends. He had seen the corpse of a sea whale before. It was so vast it still haunted him, but a Heaven Whale soared through the cosmos itself, viewing the stars as companions. No one knew what such a creature sustained itself on, or how it died.

There were almost no records of them. And now, his mother—and the Lei family—were trapped in one.

“That necropolis is filled with the Heaven Whale’s laws,” said Mountain Lord Qingyu gravely. “Anyone who enters is suppressed to the Human Emperor realm. We’ve tried various formations to resist those laws, but none worked. Based on our investigation... that Heaven Whale was likely a Divine Sovereign before its death.”

A Divine Sovereign.

It was a supreme existence capable of controlling the laws of space and time, practically undying.

But even such an existence had perished. Was eternal life truly just a lie?

Long Chen thought back to the Divine Sovereign statue in Orchid Mound City. Just what was that realm truly like?

Mountain Lord Qingyu explained, “Against an existence like that, we can’t do anything even after its death. Unless the Heavenly Constellation Ancestor awakens or the Violet Gold Bell recovers, we can’t break the laws of that place. But I know you won’t wait for them.”

After a brief pause, she continued, “The whale necropolis is a place you can only enter, not leave. Not even divine sense can pass through. Fortunately, your father discovered its location and somehow managed to contact the people inside. He then sent a message to Sovereign Mountain. At first, we doubted his words. But for the Lei family, we couldn’t risk ignoring it. We will pay any price to save them. Once we traced your father’s message back to the Whale Necropolis, your father was already gone. Presumably, he had entered the necropolis.

“He left a strand of divine sense at the entrance, asking for a large amount of resources and instructing us to only tell you after you became a Human Emperor.”

Now it all made sense to Long Chen. His father had planned everything. That was why Mountain Lord Qingyu had kept silent until now.

Luo Zichuan had given Long Zhantian clues to Luo Ningshuang’s location, and Long Zhantian had relied on that to find the necropolis. Despite knowing what it would cost him, he had still entered it.

And the fact that he had specified Long Chen had to be a Human Emperor... meant Long Chen was the key to resolving the problem.

Realizing this, Long Chen immediately wanted to head to the necropolis.

Mountain Lord Qingyu said, “I didn’t think you would arrive so quickly. Wanyi, Fengying, and the others are all still in seclusion...”

“I can’t wait,” said Long Chen, shaking his head. “I’m going immediately.”

She had wanted to send a full team of heavenly geniuses with him. However, Long Chen had come right after his breakthrough, without even stabilizing his cultivation base or adapting to his new Emperor power. It showed how urgent this was for him.

Still, she wasn’t surprised. She nodded solemnly.

“We prepared a secret transportation array to the Whale Necropolis,” she explained, “but due to the constant heavenly tribulations, the spatial tunnel can’t stabilize. Instead, I’ve asked Ancestor Huiming to escort you there.”

“Hey! Why are you taking my wine?!” the drunkard wailed as Mountain Lord Qingyu yanked the gourd from his hand.

“Long Chen is the pillar of our race. He’s going to rescue the left and right arms of the violet blood race. Nothing must happen to him, understood?! You are not allowed to drink during this mission!” ordered Mountain Lord Qingyu coldly.

“Taking my wine is like cutting my lifespan in half! What if we meet a powerful foe? How am I supposed to fight without it?!”

Mountain Lord Qingyu ignored his complaints. She walked up to Long Chen and gently straightened his robes.

She said, “Without the Lei family, the violet blood race would not survive. I wish I could go myself. If it meant saving them, I would trade my life without hesitation. But I can’t. So I entrust this to you. Please... bring them back.”

It was clear how much this mission meant to her.

“Mountain Lord, rest assured. With my father inside, what could possibly stop the two of us?”

Originally, Luo Zichuan had planned on accompanying Long Chen. However, upon learning that his cultivation base would be suppressed to the Human Emperor realm, he felt like he would drag Long Chen down. After pondering, he chose not to come.

And so, Long Chen departed Sovereign Mountain... accompanied by a grumbling, wine-deprived old drunkard.

As they vanished into the distance, Mountain Lord Qingyu and Luo Zichuan stood side by side, their fists clenched tightly.
