“Scumbag, d*mn it, who did this?”

An angry roar made the entire gate of the Sage Sect vibrate.

An old man walked out from behind the giant gates of the Sage Sect. He had a head of white hair and was clad in a green robe. His face was full of scars and looked fierce and demanding. He had achieved the status of Celestial King.

At that moment, he was standing outside the Sect’s assembly hall. Looking at the pools of blood on the jade square and smelling the blood in the air, he felt fearful.

Someone had dared to engage in bloodshed on the grounds of his Sect. That person held no regard for them.

A middle-aged man rushed over. It was Elder Ming, who had just escaped death.

He kneeled before his senior and was terrified. His voice trembling, he said, “Disciple Ming Qian Chuan pays his respect to his ancestors! To answer you, it was Xu Que’s father who did this to our sect.”

“Xu Que’s…father?” The elder in the green robe repeated that furiously. He was so angry that he was on the verge of killing Ming Qian Chuan.

“Who the h*ll was Xu Que, and who was his father? Did his father have no name?”

Fortunately, the green-robed Elder had come to the realization that most of the strongest people in his sect had been killed. Hence, he had to swallow his anger and let Ming Qian Chuan off for the time being.

“I can report to you that Xu Que’s father is a strange old man who has just appeared recently. Nobody knows his name, and nobody knows his true strengths. However, today, we all found out the truth behind his reputation…” Ming Qian Chuan told him about all the things that Xu Que’s father had done so far.

He started by telling him about the true strength of Xu Que’s father. He was only a medium-stage Earth Celestial. However, he had two Celestial Prime souls that he used to meddle in things within the Heaven Content. He told the Elder everything he knew.

After the Elder in the green robe had learned all there was to know about Xu Que’s father, he frowned. There was something in this story that he couldn’t comprehend.

If the Celestial Primes were only souls, how could they be able to survive today, from way back in those days?

Besides how could a medium-stage Earth Celestial be able to control those two Celestial Prime souls?

However, all that was of no importance!

Before the rest of the people crossed over, this Celestial King would remain as the most powerful existence in the world. Nobody would be able to match up to him!

“Pass on my words, announce that I have returned. At the same time, go find out the whereabouts of Xu Que and his father. Also, I have other important matters to attend to during this period. Hence, you will temporarily take on the role of the Sect Leader!” The Elder in the green robe said without comment. Then he turned and returned to the forbidden grounds behind the mountains.

Ming Qian Chuan remained kneeling on the ground. Although he was afraid to move, he was extremely happy deep down.

That day, he quickly gathered all the disciples in the sect. He mobilized some of his people from the Ming family to take on official roles. Then he instructed the disciples to reveal the truth to the outside world.

Once the news got out, it was like a huge boulder had been dropped into the sea. There was a lot of commotion that followed!

In a few days, everyone in the Ziwei Celestial Realm had heard the news and been shocked by it.

“Oh, my goodness, the Sage Sect has opened up the gates to their ancestors. They have awakened the ancestors from the past!”

“These ancestors are all heavyweights from the Celestial Emperor’s times. They have actually returned now?”

“Things are going to change. The Sage Sect was able to awaken their ancestors. Their capabilities in other aspects will be no different. They will definitely not stay on the down low anymore now.”

“What is that? In the past, we’ve already heard such rumors. What is unbelievable for me is that Xu Que’s father is not a Celestial King, nor is he ranked higher than one either.”

“That old liar is just an Earth Celestial cultivator. He was only able to kill the Grand Deacon of the Heaven Palace Academy because he had access to the Celestial Prime souls.”

“Having two Celestial Prime souls to act as his fighters is also pretty formidable.”

“Formidable, my foot! Wait till all the heavyweights awaken their ancestors. How will those two souls be able to win against all the other ancestors who have actual bodies?”

“That’s true. Besides, the Sage Sect has already issued the order.”

“What order?”

“First kill Xu Que, then kill his father!”

…..

Very soon, the news was passed from the Ziwei Celestial Realm and into other Celestial Realms.

It was the Divine Farmer Clan of the Taiyin Celestial Realm who reacted the fastest. They announced to everyone outside, “The Divine Farmer Clan won’t bear being insulted. First, kill Xu Que, then kill his father!”

Later, some clans of the other Celestial Realms also started to answer a similar call to first kill Xu Que, then kill his father. Among them were three clans who Xu Que had previously declared war upon in the Heaven Palace Academy.

In a short time, the prestige of the person known as Xu Que’s father went down quickly throughout the realms. Even some people who had had no dealings with Xu Que would occasionally chant: First kill Xu Que, then kill his father.

As for the Heaven Palace Academy, after staying silent for some time, they couldn’t hold out any longer either.

Dean Li Qing He and the Assistant Dean Li Qing Shan entered the grounds of the ancestral tombs behind the mountains. When they returned, they announced to the outside world, “Our academy has been a victim. We have been lied to by Xu Que’s father. From today, our academy will recall the duties of Xu Que’s father’s role as Assistant Dean. We will make him a top enemy, and if anyone has information concerning his whereabouts, please tell us. You will be rewarded well!”

Later, Li Wen Qu, who was Li Qing Shan’s son and a top Sovereign in the Heaven Palace Academy, added, “Our academy’s next goal will be…first kill Xu Que, then his father.”

However, there were also some realms who maintained their silence.

For example, Zeng Shi Tu from the Dark Shadow Pagoda of the Qisha Celestial Realm, who had a good relationship with Xu Que, did not pick a side.

Another example was the Jade Lake Holy Land of the Tianxiang Celestial Realm. They didn’t take a stand. At the same time, they announced that they would be sealing their land. They would retreat into private practice and wouldn’t entertain any external guests!

However, everyone was well aware about what was going on. The Jade Lake Sect was not retreating into private practice because they were afraid that other sects would take the opportunity to take revenge. It was because they were getting ready to awaken their ancestors.

All these rich heritages, which had been preserved from the last era and consisted of a long history, were now preparing to awaken their ancestors.

At the time when the Celestial King was born, the Celestial Prime was the ruler under the surveillance of the Celestial Emperor. The Heaven Continent was about to enter a period where the descendants, who had only heard about the past from the historical documents and had never experienced anything remotely like it, were going to experience the period of the Celestial Emperor.

..…

The four major continents existed a huge distance away from the Heaven Continent.

Somewhere among the deserted mountains, thunder roared from the sky. The majestic momentum evolved into a typhoon, sweeping wildly all around the mountains.

Not long later, the sky split open and, from the darkness, a few figures rushed out and landed on the ground.

It was Xu Que and his men.

“We have finally managed to…get here!” Xu Que looked worn out as he landed. He scanned his surroundings, looking emotional.

“Young chap, based on the timing, it seems like you only have another three to four days to live.” Buttface gave him an unwelcome, but necessary, reminder.

Xu Que nodded. His eyes shifted toward the position of the Celestial Burial Valley, and he said solemnly, “I didn’t think that it would take so much time coming back from the Heaven Continent. However, it’s good that I was able to make it in time. I want to see what trouble Xuanyuan Wanrong has caused.”

“Young chap, you can’t be too careful. She might really have met with some strong opponent,” Duan Jiude said.

“What strong opponent?” Xu Que was surprised. His small, but muscular body toughened, emitting a majestic vibe. “Based on my current capabilities, even if we meet strong opponents, would we be afraid that we couldn’t escape?”
