“Xu fellow, I really don’t know what it’s about.” Bai Cailing shook her head, hesitating slightly before she said, “But…I’m guessing it’s probably related to future changes in the Heaven Continent. That’s an important matter.”

“Oh? Changes in the Heaven Continent?” Xu Que frowned and felt relieved.

Although he had offended the people from the Heaven Palace Sect, he didn’t think it would warrant them making such large changes that they would call up all the Celestial Kings in the entire Heaven Continent.

But hearing what Bai Cailing had said, Xu Que also remembered having heard about upcoming changes in the Heaven Continent. Initially, Mo Junchen had mentioned hearing this rumor, and so he’d come to the Heaven Continent with Xu Que. Xuanyuan Wanrong had also briefly mentioned it. Unfortunately, he hadn’t had time to ask her about any of the details before they’d developed such a hatred for each other.

Later on, Nishang Fairy and the Holy Virgin whom he’d met in Tian Sha City, as well as the two Celestial Primes from the Celestial Cloud Continent, had also mentioned this. They had tried to prevent Xu Que from killing all those Celestial Kings, claiming that he was destroying the fighting capacity of the Heaven Continent.

However, Xu Que had not cared about all this at that time, and he hadn’t hesitated to kill the ten Celestial Kings, and, after which, returning to the Ziwei Celestial Realm and killing three more.

But now, hearing Bai Cailing mention it again, he couldn’t help but feel a tingle of excitement. “Could it really be that the day where there would be changes in the Heaven Continent was really coming?”

“Xu fellow need not worry. This is only my guess. I have occasionally heard some mutterings from our Saint, but this doesn’t necessarily mean that the Heaven Continent will definitely undergo changes.” Bai Cailing saw Xu Que’s solemn expression and thoughtful appearance and couldn’t help but laugh. “Even if there were really changes, we’d still have the elders from the Heaven Palace Sect, so we don’t have to worry about anything.”

“Well, that’s true.” Xu Que nodded absently and responded.

Bai Cailing was obviously someone who wasn’t as knowledgeable as he was, but he himself was also very sure that there would be changes in the Heaven Continent.

He could roughly guess how it would change. It would be nothing more than unlocking the gates of the Heaven Continent and allowing the Earth Continent and the Xuanhuang Continent to both join together to make a new, much bigger Heaven Continent. This meant that they could more easily face countless forces from outside the Heaven Continent.

After all, some people had said that the Heaven Continent was just a canoe, and many people were willing, and wanted to, board this boat.

“Xu fellow, seeing you again after so many years makes me rather emotional and joyful. But there is something that, from the standpoint of a friend, I have to remind you of.” Bai Cailing slowed down and looked at Xu Que with a solemn expression.

This made Xu Que pause. “What do you have to remind me about?”

“We have all heard of your strength. You might be the first person at the Celestial Stage of the Great All-Embracing Heaven in history who has killed Celestial Kings, but you must remember that you can’t offend those of the Heaven Palace Sect.” Bai Cailing cautioned him seriously.

This was not a casual remark. When she saw Xu Que, she was reminded of Xu Que’s father. The two of them gave her an uneasy feeling.

Xu Que’s father had offended many people in the past, and now Xu Que had the strength to rival any forces in the Heaven Continent. Now that the strongmen of the Heaven Palace Sect had appeared, Bai Cailing felt as if it was necessary to remind Xu Que to avoid offending them.

“Ha, ha, ha, Miss Bai speaks too seriously. I, Xu Que, have always been gentle and demure. I would never actively provoke others and create conflict, but even if I had really offended the Heaven Palace Sect, I don’t think there is anything to be afraid of. Unless the people in the Heaven Palace Sect have three heads and six arms?” Xu Que smiled, full of confidence.

He was avoiding the strongmen from the Heaven Palace Sect because he felt that it had only been a small matter. It wasn’t necessary to make a big fuss over it. If he had to use up the two cards in his hand, it would be such a waste. He wasn’t really afraid of that group of people.

Hearing his words, Bai Cailing smiled bitterly. “Xu fellow might not know this, but among the strongmen of the Heaven Palace Sect who have appeared, although there are Celestial Kings and Celestial Primes, this is still far from the true strength of the Heaven Palace Sect.”

At this moment, Bai Cailing sighed slightly, her eyes flickering with emotion and awe. “Many people have heard of the Heaven Palace Sect because of the existence of the Heaven Palace Academy. And because of the Heaven Palace Academy, everyone can imagine how powerful the Heaven Palace Sect was back in the day. But everyone has underestimated the true power of the Heaven Palace Sect in its glory days.”

“According to my Celestial King ancestors from the Jade Lake, some ancient records were lost, so no one ever knew how powerful the Heaven Palace Sect was back in the day, but she remembers very clearly that the Heaven Palace Sect in its glory was home to thousands of Celestial Kings and hundreds of Celestial Primes. Among all these Celestials, the ten most powerful people of the Celestial Prime level were crowned Peak Lords. Even further up, there were ten Celestial Emperors in the Heaven Palace Sect. The strength of the dean was rumored to have come from the existence of those Celestial Emperors.”

As Bai Cailing spoke, Xu Que couldn’t help but open his eyes wide. Zixia Fairy and the others were very surprised.

“Back in the day, the Heaven Palace Sect had been so terrifying?”

“Ten Celestial Emperors, with an existence even higher than the Celestial Primes?”

“Sh*t, how awesome was that?” Buttface exclaimed.

Bai Cailing smiled. “At that time, the Heaven Palace Sect was only known as the Heaven Palace, and the Heaven Continent was also named after them.”

“What? The name of the Heaven Continent was derived from the Heaven Palace Sect?” Mo Junchen was the first to be surprised. After all, he was a man from the Earth Continent, who had great respect for the Heaven Continent. He never knew that the name Heaven Continent actually had such a history.

A force must be very powerful for the continent to be named after it.

“Yes, the Heaven Continent in the past actually belonged to the Heaven Palace Sect. Neither the Ziwei Celestial Realm or the Tianxiang Celestial Realm existed at that time. Instead, the continent was divided into ten large mountain peaks, which were controlled by the ten Peak Lords of the Celestial Prime level. During the long course of history that followed, there were changes in the ten large peaks, and they gradually evolved into today’s 14 celestial realms,” Bai Cailing said.

These were all things that she had learned from her Celestial Kings ancestors at the Jade Lake. At that time, her expression was almost on the same level as Mo Junchen and Duan Jiude’s.

Many people knew that the Heaven Palace Sect was very strong back in the day, but after knowing how strong they truly were, they found that they had seriously underestimated them.

Looking at Mo Junchen and Duan Jiude’s expressions, Bai Cailing smiled slightly.

But when she looked at Xu Que, she couldn’t help but pause.

Xu Que didn’t seem to be the slightest bit shocked by her words. His face was very serious, as if facing a huge enemy.

“Xu fellow, what is wrong with you?” Bai Cailing asked.

“Nothing much, I just feel that the task of maintaining world peace has become even more difficult.” Xu Que sighed with a little melancholy.

Bai Cailing was startled. “Xu fellow, don’t mess around. Once you offend the Heaven Palace Sect, there will be serious consequences.”

“Oh!” Xu Que laughed. “When will I be able to hear the world say that once they offend the Exploding Heavens Faction, there will be even more severe consequences? Okay, I won’t go on any further. Let’s go in, I still have important matters to discuss with you.”

After he’d finished speaking, Xu Que waved his hands and took the lead by stepping into the Jade Lake Holy Land.

Bai Cailing and the others were frozen in place. “What did this guy mean?”

Offending the Exploding Heavens Faction would have even more severe consequences?
