2293 The Patriarch of the Human-Devil Clan
In Duan Ling Tian’s opinion, whether he chose to escape from the Wandering Saint Palace or head to Yuwen Hao Chen’s residence, they would still be in danger. He would still have to face a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage either way! Therefore, he reasoned he might as well head to Yuwen Hao Chen’s residence where his Sun Force was attracted to. At least, it seemed like he might benefit from it.
Since this is Yuwen Hao Chen’s Celestial Ascension Tribulation… The area where the Tribulation Clouds are converging should be right above his mansion,’ Duan Ling Tian continued thinking to himself, ‘It would take a few days for Yuwen Hao Chen to pa.s.s the Heavenly Tribulation… After all, the Celestial Ascension Tribulation is different from the common Heavenly Tribulation. It has 81 bolts of lightning! He can only pa.s.s the Celestial Ascension Tribulation if he’s able to endure all 81 bolts of lightning. At that time, his body will produce Celestial Origin Energy, and he’ll become an Eminent Celestial. Before he pa.s.ses the tribulation, he’s still a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage like s.h.i.+ Nan Feng!’ He sped up as he brought the three ladies with him.
Seeing this, Peng Lai sped up as well, following closely behind.
Meanwhile, s.h.i.+ Nan Feng and the other people from the Three Palaces and Six Halls were following Duan Ling Tian and his companions as well. Apart from that, a few elders from the Wandering Saint Palace had joined in as well.
These elders were sent by Yun Fu Ye, one of the Vice Palace Masters of Wandering Saint Palace, to keep an eye on Duan Ling Tian. Now that Duan Ling Tian had left his mansion, it was only natural that they would follow him.
With Duan Ling Tian in the lead, this large group of people swarmed toward the residence of Yuwen Hao Chen, the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace.
My comprehension rate of heaven and earth is getting faster and faster… How exciting!’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as he got closer to the mansion. He was eager to discover the thing that attracted his Sun Force.
Meanwhile, the other Palace Masters and Hall Masters from the Three Palaces and Six Halls of the Human-Devil clan finally received news about Yuwen Hao Chen, the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace, undergoing the Celestial Ascension Tribulation and was about to become an Eminent Celestial!
In the Crimson Blaze Palace.
Yuwen Hao Chen has successfully attracted the Celestial Ascension Tribulation?” Wu Tuan Jin, the Vice Palace Master of Crimson Blaze Palace, was shocked when he heard the news from an elder who had just returned.
Yuwen Hao Chen, the Palace Master of the Wandering Saint Palace, was already widely acknowledged as the strongest person after the Human-Devil Clan prior to this. Now he had even successfully attracted the Celestial Ascension Tribulation?
Based on the history of Wandering Saint Palace, there’s no Palace Master who has failed the Celestial Ascension Tribulation! In other words, it wouldn’t be difficult for Yuwen Hao Chen to pa.s.s the Celestial Ascension Tribulation. After a few days, he’ll become an Eminent Celestial!’ Wu Tian Jin took a deep breath when he thought about this. After that, he quickly went to see the Palace Master of Crimson Blaze Palace to inform him of this important news. Let alone the Crimson Blaze Palace, this news was definitely going to cause an uproar in the Human-Devil clan.
In Azure Sheen Hall.
The Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace is undergoing the Celestial Ascension Tribulation?”
“Are we going to have a second Eminent Celestial in our Human-Devil clan?”
“It’s said that the sky above the Wandering Saint Palace looks majestic with the Tribulation Clouds brewing… I want to go and have a look! Even if I can’t enter the Wandering Saint Palace, it’s enough to watch from afar!”
“Count me in! After all, I haven’t seen the Tribulation Clouds from the Celestial Ascension Tribulation before.”
When the news about Yuwen Hao Chen undergoing the Celestial Ascension Tribulation spread in the Azure Sheen Hall, it, naturally, caused an uproar. A large group of people even left the Azure Sheen Hall to have a look at the Wandering Saint Palace.
At this moment, the Crimson Blaze Palace, Azure Sheen Hall, and the other five halls were in an uproar.
Many people from the Three Palaces and Six Halls were making their way to the Wandering Saint Palace. They made an inconspicuous sight, alerting others in the Human-Devil Saint City! For this reason, it did not take long before news of this spread in the Human-Devil Saint City.
“In just a few days, the Human-Devil clan will have another Eminent Celestial”
“This is absolutely great news for our clan!”
“It’s awesome news indeed!”
“Now that there’s an Eminent Celestial in the Wandering Saint Palace, it’s going to become the strongest force among the Three Palaces and Six Halls in our Human-Devil clan!”
The Human-Devil Saint City was in an uproar.
Apart from the people from the Three Palaces and Six Halls, most of the Human-Devils were delighted by the news of another Eminent Celestial in the Human-Devil clan. It did not matter to them if he was from the Wandering Saint Palace! After all, with a second Eminent Celestial in the Human-Devil clan, their clan’s status would only rise. How could they not feel excited?
Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+
In an unremarkable and dilapidated mansion located somewhere in the northeast direction of the Human-Devil Saint City, the sound of wind whistling rang in the air.
After a while, a figure appeared out of thin air in front of the door of the dilapidated mansion. The figure belonged to a middle-aged man with a strong build who was dressed in a green robe. His looks were average, and his face was expressionless.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
With just a few steps, he walked into the dilapidated mansion and stood in front of a room. The door to the room was covered in spiderwebs. Based on this, it could be seen that the door had not been opened for a long time. Strange enough, the middle-aged bowed reverently as though someone of great prestige was behind the door.
“Master, Yuwen Hao Chen, the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace, has successfully attracted the Celestial Ascension Tribulation… In a few days, it’s highly likely that he’ll become an Eminent Celestial!” The middle-aged man said respectfully. His tone was humble when he spoke. Based on his words, it was clear that he was so respectful because the person behind the door was his master.
If the leaders of the Three Palaces and Six Halls from the Human-Devil clan were around, they would be shocked to see this. After all, this middle-aged man was none other than the current Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan who was also an Eminent Celestial.
Whoos.h.!.+
As soon as the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan finished speaking, the sound of a gentle breeze blowing could be heard. The breeze removed all the cobwebs from the door. Apart from that, mist began to waft out from the crack underneath the door.
The mist continued to waft out before it suddenly solidified into a figure of a man near the Patriarch of the Human- Devil clan. The figure belonged to an old man who was dressed in grey robes. The old man’s face was wrinkled, and his brows were white. He held a shabby-looking stick in hand. All in all, he looked like an ordinary old man. However, based on the mysterious technique he had used when he appeared, it was clear he was not ordinary at all. Furthermore, the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan had addressed him as master. What a joke! Would someone like the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan address an ordinary old man as master?
The cloudy eyes of the old man suddenly brightened as he asked the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan, “Yuwen Hao Chen? Is he the descendant of that immortal, Yuwen Dong Xing, from the Wandering Saint Palace?” His voice sounded hoa.r.s.e, lending it a creepy vibe.
Yes.” The Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan nodded instantly. He knew who Yuwen Dong Xing was. He was an elder of Wandering Saint Palace from five thousand years ago!
At that time, Yuwen Dong Xing had broken through to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. It did not take long before he attracted the Celestial Ascension Tribulation. Unfortunately, he was not the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace. Therefore, he was not privy to the technique to overcome the Celestial Ascension Tribulation. He had failed his Celestial Ascension Tribulation.
Most people in the Human-Devil clan thought that Yuwen Dong Xin had died when he failed the Celestial Ascension Tribulation. However, if he had died, why did the mysterious grey-clad man, the master of the Patriarch of the Human- Devil clan, referred to him as an immortal?
“Hmm…” The grey-clad old man nodded. “Good! It seems like he’s better than that immortal, Yuwen Dong Xing… I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time. Now that a second Eminent Celestial has emerged in the clan, it’s time for me to depart…” A hint of relief could be heard in his voice.
“Master… Are you certain that you want to leave?” The Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan was not surprised by the old man’s words. It seemed as though he had long known about the old man’s intention. However, a hint of reluctance could be heard in his voice when he spoke to the old man.
