In his mind, Tang Huan was just a junior who had just been promoted to the lower realm Sky Sovereign!
Even if he managed to reach the twelfth rank in one fell swoop, it would not be a concern. If the "Celestial Ancestor Realm" did not appear in the world, it would not be difficult for him to find Tang Huan with his cultivation and strength. As long as they could find Tang Huan and eradicate the calamity that was the Clear Void Dao Pavilion, it would all be in the blink of an eye.
However, the Tang Huan that he saw at this moment, greatly exceeded his expectations.
After cultivating for so many years, he had also occupied the position of the first ranker for so long. With his current self-control, it was already difficult for anything to shake his heart, and with his cultivation, there were very few people in the Heaven Realm that he could not see through. But now, this Tang Huan had become one of them.
"Is this the effect of the Celestial Sect of Ancestral Immortals?"
Gu Daozi"s eyes flashed, and a thought flashed through his mind.
"Tang Huan, you are too bold, this old man has not made a move, but you ran away."
At this moment, Yuan Chao"s eyes flashed. He coldly said, "Aren"t you afraid that the old me will immediately attack and capture you?"
By the time Yuan Chao"s voice sounded out, the power within his body had already surged crazily. A terrifying aura erupted out of his body like a volcanic eruption. The air rippled violently wherever it pa.s.sed by with the force of a thunderbolt.
"Whether or not you have the ability is up to you. For now, I"m afraid you won"t have the chance." A strange smile rose on Tang Huan"s face.
"Rumble …"
Almost at the same instant Tang Huan finished speaking, an earth-shaking explosion suddenly rang out, and following that, the entire s.p.a.ce within the ancestral courtyard started to tremble.
"Look!" Look! "
In the midst of the exclamations, everyone"s gaze turned to the conical mountain range.
Under the gaze of many pairs of eyes, a misty aura that was like smoke seeped out from the mountain at an extremely fast speed. After a short moment, everyone noticed that the mountain peak seemed to be melting. In just a few short breaths of time, the entire mountain peak turned into a faint cloud of smoke.
The smoke seemed to be blown away by a breeze, spreading outwards in a neither fast nor slow manner. It was getting closer and closer to the dozens of Sky Sovereigns.
Many Empyreans subconsciously wanted to retreat, but in the next instant, they discovered that the entire s.p.a.ce seemed to have frozen over. Even if they pushed their strength to the maximum, they couldn"t move a single inch.
"Everyone, be careful!"
"Something doesn"t seem right!"
"I can"t move!"
"..."
Low exclamations were heard from time to time.
Not long after, almost all of the Empyreans had noticed what was happening. Their expressions were all different, some were calm, some were surprised, some were fl.u.s.tered, and some were worried.
This was the "Immortal Spirit Ancestral Court". No one knew whether this change would be beneficial to everyone or not.
At this moment, everyone was unable to move. If there was a hidden danger within the smoke, then the consequences would be too terrifying. Even if it was an Empyrean, they probably wouldn"t be able to escape. They could only helplessly watch as death approached them.
He had spent countless hards.h.i.+ps in order to reach the Empyrean level. If he were to silently die inside the Immortal Spirit Ancestral Court, it wouldn"t be worth it.
"Little brother Tang Huan, what"s the situation?"
Liu Li"s eyebrows raised as she subconsciously asked.
She did not deliberately hide it, and the voice was immediately heard by the surrounding people, causing all of them to look at Tang Huan.
The moment Tang Huan entered the Ancestral Court, she came here. Furthermore, she had cultivated at the mountain peak for a long time, so she probably knew more than anyone else why the mountain range had undergone such a change.
"Sister Liu Li, don"t worry, this is a good thing." Tang Huan smiled slightly.
"Oh?" Liu Li was somewhat surprised.
"This Immortal Spirit Ancestral Court is not only the source of the Immortal World, it is also the place for the Ancient Era"s Immortals to train." Tang Huan said with a smile, "Once the pa.s.sage to the central region is opened, there will be a test for the Ancient Era"s Immortals. If it succeeds in pa.s.sing, there will definitely be a bountiful harvest."
"What if he doesn"t pa.s.s?" One of the Sky Sovereign asked subconsciously.
"If I can"t pa.s.s it, I"m afraid my life will be in danger." Tang Huan said slowly as she stared at the smoke that was getting closer.
"What"s so good about that?" The Sky Sovereign couldn"t help smiling bitterly.
"With our cultivations at such a level, how could we not take the risk if we wish to reap some rewards from the Immortal Spirit Ancestral Court?" Tang Huan smiled faintly. If I am not wrong, in the next trial, the greater the risk, the greater the rewards, and maybe, we can even obtain a treasure that can help us prove our dao. "
"..."
Hearing Tang Huan"s words, the surrounding suddenly became quiet.
Many of the Sky Sovereign"s eyes started to burn, even their breathing became ragged. Since Tang Huan dared to say that in front of everyone, it seemed like it was true.
No matter how great the risk, it was all worth it.
"Tang Huan, are you serious?"
The reason why he didn"t let Tang Huan go back then was because Tang Huan had killed many of the Heaven Emperors of the Clear Void Dao Pavilion, causing him to lose face greatly. Furthermore, he wanted to obtain the secret on Tang Huan"s body, and the latter was especially important.
After all, that secret was related to whether or not he could successfully reach the Divine Realm.
However, if he was able to pa.s.s the test of the "Immortal Spirit Ancestral Court" and obtain the rare treasure that can help him prove his ident.i.ty as a Dao G.o.d, the secrets on Tang Huan"s body would no longer be that important.
Of course, nothing he said would be of any use until the very last moment.
The number of precious treasures would not be high. There were over forty Empyreans here. To be able to obtain that supreme treasure was not only a simple matter of successfully pa.s.sing the "Immortal Spirit Ancestral Court" trial, but also a matter of the best performance. Only in this way would he have a greater chance.
"..."
Tang Huan curled her lips, there was no response, as though she did not hear anything, she just quietly watched the smoke.
Seeing Tang Huan ignoring him like this, Yuan Chao was enraged, but she could do nothing about it. Now, he was completely trapped in this s.p.a.ce, unable to even harm a single hair on Tang Huan"s body. She could only stare at Tang Huan sinisterly, as if wanting to grab him and cut him into pieces.
"Alright."
Gu Daozi suddenly spoke up, "There"s no need to say anymore, we"ll see in a while."
Yuan Chao snorted lightly, but put away his previous expression.
The crowd was worried about the outcome of the battle, but there was no time for them to speculate about it. A split-second later …
The faint smoke was already rolling in. In that moment, all the Sky Sovereigns, including Tang Huan, Gu Daozi and the rest were all enveloped by the smoke.
In the blink of an eye, everyone had disappeared.
