Xiao Tienhen reached his hand up, slowly wiping off the dirty substance. He didn’t feel disgusted.
Instead, he was confused. Why did this substance fall on him at the moment when he’d opened the door? What were the ancestors trying to say to him?
“What’s the meaning of this?” Xiao Tienhen couldn’t figure out why this had happened just now.
Even he, a Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven, was baffled by the circ.u.mstances of this coincidence.
If b.u.t.tface’s feces had fallen a little bit sooner, then he would’ve noticed what was going on above him. But they fell right after he opened the door. The sticky feces had fallen onto his face after he’d caused a big commotion.
And, to add insult to injury, not only did it fall accurately, it was also slightly watery!
This confused Xiao Tienhen a lot. Subconsciously, he felt that the ancestors had planned this and wondered whether they were trying to give him a hint about something.
“Perhaps I didn’t open the door at the right time?” Xiao Tienhen asked himself this question again quietly, his bewildered gaze staring at the door.
The enormous door was distorted and wavy and slowly changing into a bright haze as a mysterious fog lazily emerged from it.
This door has been closed for tens of thousands of years!
The people behind this door were the remaining Supreme Existences of the last generation. Each one was feared within the Heaven Continent and had dominated the world in the Celestial Emperor’s time.
According to the preaching of the Sage Sect’s ancestors, they had faced a change of the Rules of Heaven and Earth toward the end of their lives.
They had been entering into an era of anarchy, which was to say in other words the disappearance of many natural treasures and the loss of their contract with the Rules of Heaven and Earth that had once defined the rises in their ranks.
In such an unforeseen and fluid situation, the Supreme Existence had come up with a solution. They would close themselves away, leaving those with superior qualifications to rest while the Sect continued to grow. At the arrival of a new era, they would be awakened.
However, ever since then, with each new generation of Sect Leader, not one could figure out when the new era had arrived. The ancestors’ preachings didn’t explain this point, so they decided that the appearance of a Celestial King would be their evidence of the coming of a new era.
Of course, this was just a guess. However high the probability, no one wanted to treat the decision lightly.
Xiao Tienhen didn’t plan on opening the door and waking the ancestors so soon. But Xu Que had come cras.h.i.+ng through their doors, threatening their safety and angering Xiao Tienhen. And so, he had to open this door, not only to be rid of Xu Que but also to bring a new beginning to the Heaven Continent.
BOOM!
A formidable presence suddenly gushed out from behind the enormous door, rolling out as high as a mountain, enveloping all in its way with a feeling of suffocation.
Xiao Tienhen, a Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven, only a step away from Celestial King, paled at once when the presence pa.s.sed him. He stumbled backward, using his celestial core power to resist the push he was experiencing.
Even with all his strength, Xiao Tienhen was slowly forced to step back.
Despite what was happening to him, Xiao Tienhen felt his heart leap with excitement. This presence was capable of manipulating him, a Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven, to such a degree. Even Elder Xu didn’t have such power. It was enough to prove that the owner of this presence was extremely strong.
“Hmm, the descendants of my Sage Sect, what do they amount to? They cannot stand strong in my presence, how great can they be?” An authoritative voice spoke out sternly from behind the door.
The voice was deep and commanding as it spoke directly into Xiao Tienhen’s mind.
“Please forgive me, ancestor! Your disciple is not worthy!” Xiao Tienhen cried out loudly as he immediately kowtowed.
In the face of such a strong Sage Sect ancestor, how could he dare to put on the airs of a Sect Leader?
“Let it be, Old Shang. Our descendants have held onto this land for so long. It must not’ve been easy. And now, they have followed the ancestral preachings in waking us all up, why do you put him at fault?” Another voice, this one hoa.r.s.e, spoke up.
From the sound of it, this was an elderly female voice!
Before Xiao Tienhen could respond, something else happened before the enormous door.
A surprised sound was heard and it was followed by an angry shout, “D*mn! We weren’t supposed to awaken. The time hasn’t come! D*mn you, why have you woken us so early?!”Read the next chapter on our vipnovel.com
BOOM!
The moment the voice stopped speaking, another terrifying presence rolled out, straight toward Xiao Tienhen’s chest.
Xiao Tienhen heard a loud BANG as his body was thrown aside, cras.h.i.+ng into the rocks behind him. Blood spurted out of his mouth. His head was buzzing.
Again, he felt confused!
“The time had not come?”
“I woke the ancestors too early?”
“He was finished! This was the ultimate wrong!”
“Elder Lee, you despicable b.a.s.t.a.r.d, I will kill you!”
“Old Shang, how is it that your temper hasn’t changed at all? Let’s listen to what this one has to say. Perhaps he woke us early for a reason!” This time, the sound of the elder woman’s voice was very calm.
The other deep voice again spoke out angrily, “What about my temper? He woke us close to 100 years too early! When the Heaven Continent’s Shackle Spell is released and the Heavenly Qi is recovered, my cultivation will be a whole 10,000 years behind the others! Even though 10,000 isn’t that much and I can accomplish that in 100 years, my ability in comparison to the others will be too far behind. It will be a huge difference!”
“Don’t be anxious, that matter may still be resolved. And since we are already awake, do you think that the others will still take 100 years to awaken?” The sound of the old woman’s calm laugh could now be heard.
The deep voice didn’t respond.
“My descendant, come and speak. Why have you woken us up so early?” The old woman’s voice directly asked Xiao Tienhen.
Xiao Tienhen stepped out from the rocks where he had fallen. His face showed his terror as he bowed before them on the ground, and his voice spoke to them with awe, “My ancestors, your disciple doesn’t know when the new era will come. Throughout the generations, we’ve all considered the appearance of a Celestial King to be the sign of the new era. And recently such a Celestial King has appeared in the Heaven Continent. He might even be above a Celestial King. At this moment, he is within our Sage Sect. We felt our Sect was in danger, and our only choice was to wake you all!”
After the explanation, Xiao Tienhen stayed kneeling, his eyes on the ground. He didn’t dare move.
There was silence behind the enormous door.
After several moments, the old woman’s voice again could be heard, “Celestial King or above? Can it be that someone has woken earlier than us? And, if so, I’m afraid that their purpose was to force you to wake us…nevertheless, the fault doesn’t lie with you. If someone is awake, then let’s all be awake. 100 years, what does it matter?”
“Thank you, ancestor!” At her words, Xiao Tienhen heaved a sigh of relief.
Even though he didn’t know how many ancestors were behind the enormous door, he realized from the short interchange he’d had with them that this old woman’s temper was wonderful, especially compared to the old man’s!
BANG!
And, yet, before Xiao Tienhen could say anything else, his entire body exploded, leaving a splash of b.l.o.o.d.y liquid that spilled onto the ground. Even his soul couldn’t escape harm.
The next moment, the old woman’s now ice-cold voice was heard loud and clear, “I said that I don’t blame you, but I didn’t say that I wouldn’t punish you!”
The deep voice replied with a laugh, “TSK! TSK! TSK! Old Mrs. Lee, how can you talk about my temper? Who could possibly compare to your ruthlessness?”
“What about it? A useless Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven! What use can he be? Let him die! My Sage Sect has been preserved up to the present. Our Sect must have many capable people, I’m not afraid to lose one!”
