Chapter 1207: Someone Is Coming from the Heaven Continent


Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio


Two years pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye! On the Earth Continent, the Zhen Yuan Celestial Realm had been restored to its former tranquility. The forces in the Celestial Realm had been reshuffled, and the situation had completely changed.


Since the Exploding Heavens Faction’s battle two years ago, the Dingtian Academy had ceased to exist. As for the Equipment Refining Sect, although there was a branch listed on the map, it was just an empty t.i.tle. Unless people from other Celestial Realms migrated, the Equipment Refining Sect in the Zhen Yuan Celestial Realm was basically done for.


Today, in the Zhen Yuan Celestial Realm, the Pill Refining Sect had the greatest influence. But unlike the Equipment Refining Sect, the Pill Refining Sect seldom intervened in the compet.i.tion among the major forces. They completely abided by their duties and only worked as alchemists.


Among the major forces, the Litian Academy had become the largest academy in the Zhen Yuan Celestial Realm. It had no compet.i.tor. The forces who opposed the Dingtian Academy and the Equipment Refining Sect along with the Litian Academy had always deferred to the Litian Academy. However, all the cultivators in the Zhen Yuan Celestial Realm knew that they couldn’t compare to the Exploding Heavens Faction. Moreover, all the remaining forces in the Zhen Yuan Celestial Realm had announced two years ago that they would voluntarily become affiliates of the Exploding Heavens Faction.


Thus, of course, the Exploding Heavens Faction was the largest force in the Zhen Yuan Celestial Realm, and it was unprecedentedly powerful. Even in the heyday of the Equipment Refining Sect, their control and influence over the Zhen Yuan Celestial Realm wasn’t as great as that of the Exploding Heavens Faction. This wasn’t because the Equipment Refining Sect had been weak, but that it didn’t belong to any of the forces, and so it wasn’t convenient for them to extend too much of their power into the various forces. Moreover, the Zhen Yuan Celestial Realm was the Celestial Realm under the control of the Zhen Yuan Daoists. The Equipment Refining Sect didn’t dare to over-exercise their power. They had no intention of competing for power and land with the Zhen Yuan Daoists.


But the Exploding Heavens Faction was different—it was one of the forces. When the forces competed, the Zhen Yuan Daoists were simply too lazy to pay attention to them. Moreover, after the Exploding Heavens Faction became renowned in the Zhen Yuan Celestial Realm, they disappeared. They had no intention of ruling the Zhen Yuan Celestial Realm at all and thus would never alarm the Zhen Yuan Daoists.


So far, even when the forces of the Zhen Yuan Celestial Realm had changed drastically, n.o.body had seen or heard from the Zhen Yuan Daoists. Even the aces from the Equipment Refining Sects from other Celestial Realms hadn’t come over to inquire or investigate the matter.


However, during the past two years, although there was still no news of the Exploding Heavens Faction, no one could forget the majestic three words. From time to time, they would discuss it and describe the Exploding Heavens Faction as extremely powerful and mysterious.


But Xu Que, the Faction Leader, had sparked many people’s discussions!


“That Faction Leader, the odds are against him rather than in his favor!”


“After all, in that battle, some people watched the Faction Leader incapacitated by King Equipment Refiner Liu. At the end, he escaped thanks to an amulet and we’ve had no news of him till now.”


“Yes, the managerial level of the Litian Academy has also been discussing the disappearance of the Exploding Heavens Faction. It may be related to the life or death of the Faction Leader!”


“No matter how powerful he is, he’s still only at the Human Celestial Stage. When attacked by an ace in the Golden Celestial Stage, ordinary people would have died. It’s a miracle that the Faction Leader didn’t die on the spot!”


“Uh, if you say that, Xu Que, the Faction Leader, is likely to be seriously injured. The Exploding Heavens Faction may be busy treating him now.”


Whenever there were discussions, the speculations would naturally be exaggerated and, eventually, slowly handed down as reality.


Xu Que was in perfect condition, but according to the rumor mill he had died in the battle.


…..


On that very day, something was going on within the Pa.s.sageway of Heaven and Earth in the Zhen Yuan Celestial Realm. It attracted the attention of several guards.


The Pa.s.sageway of Heaven and Earth was the link between the Heaven Continent and the Earth Continent. But because the road between the Heaven Continent and the Earth Continent had been sealed, the place had become more and more desolate, with only a few guards.


Now, there was something going on within the Pa.s.sageway of Heaven and Earth. It naturally meant that someone was coming down from the Heaven Continent.


“It’s been two years, and someone from the Heaven Continent is coming again.”


“It’s a pity that he won’t be able to go back this time!”


“I think those from the Heaven Continent aren’t aware that our road to the Heaven Continent is blocked, otherwise there wouldn’t be anyone coming down now.”


“That’s for sure. After all, the Heaven Continent’s Spiritual Qi and resources are incomparably better than those of the Earth Continent!”


“Ha, ha, many people think that the Earth Continent is similar to the Heaven Continent. In fact, compared with the Heaven Continent, the Earth Continent is a lightweight!”


“Forget it, why are we talking about this? Anyway, we can’t go up there. The road to the Heaven Continent is blocked to us now!”


“That’s right. Let’s see who is coming and inform the officials in the Palace of Heaven and Earth!”


After a short chat, the guards headed for the exit of the Pa.s.sageway of Heaven and Earth. Just then, the entire Pa.s.sageway of Heaven and Earth was glowing as the power of the spell was slowly dissipating.


A guard asked respectfully, “May I know which senior has come to the Earth Continent?”


Howl! In the Pa.s.sageway of Heaven and Earth, there was a sharp howl from a wolf.


Several guards suddenly underwent a change in expression. “Demon King? Don’t tell me the Demon King is coming?”


But the next moment, they were dumbfounded. The glow disappeared in the Pa.s.sageway of Heaven and Earth, and then one man and one dog flew out of it. They were a mess. It looked like they were fleeing.


“This…” Several guards couldn’t help looking at each other.


According to the regulations, those who could travel between the Pa.s.sageway of Heaven and Earth must be at least in the Heaven Celestial Stage and above. Moreover, only those with distinguished status could qualify to walk through the Pa.s.sageway of Heaven and Earth. Hence, every time someone came down, the guards had to address them as senior.


But now, the person and the dog in front of them were totally different from the cultivation and strength that they had imagined. The man was an old man, a dirty old man. He was wearing a torn and tattered Taoist robe, and he looked very sloppy like a beggar. From his Cultivation Stage, he was only in the Later Stage of the Human Celestial Stage!


As for the dog, they couldn’t fathom his Cultivation Stage. He was merely a little taller and stronger than an ordinary dog. He looked like a wolf and had a bit of the grandeur aura when he didn’t talk. But it was hard for people to respect and be awed by him because of his sneaky eyes.


“Gee, is this the Earth Continent? It’s so shabby!” Just then, the dog scanned the surroundings and suddenly spoke.


The dirty old man also scanned the surroundings, then his gaze fell on several guards, and he asked with a smile, “Brothers, is this the Earth Continent?”


“Uh, yes! I have a question…cough,cough,…seniors, may I know how I should address you?” A guard asked in an awkward manner.


Although he was also in the Human Celestial Stage, according to the rules, he still had to address the old man and the dog as his seniors.


“Yo!”


“Yo! Yo!”


The dirty old man and the dog made odd expressions one after another. They fixed their eyes on the guard, smiled, and made faces at him, “What did you just call us?”
