novelThe Power of Mount Emperor
| ← Ch.0991 | Ch.0993 → |
People from Mount Emperor were on their way?
Once the news spread, the entire Planet Tianhuang was stunned. It circulated across the Heavenly Regions and even in the Barren Regions around the borders. Countless sects, families and cultivators were astonished.
Mount Emperor!
The most powerful, imperishable sect that had ruled Planet Tianhuang for a hundred thousand years.
Compared to the Medicine God Sect and the Fey King Hall, Mount Devil God had complete cultivation arts and unpredictable power. They weren't people that an ordinary Heavenly Sect could measure up against. They were truly unstoppable, superior and offending them was out of the question! Many large sects had tried to fight against Mount Emperor in the past, but a single command of theirs had ended in the immediate destruction of their ancestral halls and the death of their Nascent Soul Cultivators.
Who would provoke such a terrifying sect?
Even the top ten Heavenly Sects had to be careful in front of them.
"It's just Mount Emperor. Chen Beixuan killed the Divine Prince of the Medicine God Sect, but they didn't move to avenge him. They only showed up after Chen Beixuan went into the deity ground. I think Mount Emperor is more or less the same!" a young cultivator said in disdain.
"That's right. There aren't many Nascent Soul Cultivators on Planet Tianhuang. Even the Changshen Heavenly Region has only five Heavenly Lords. Mount Emperor may have eight, I gather? Or ten? It's just the total number of Heavenly Lords in a couple Heavenly Sects. Why should we be afraid of them?"
Someone agreed with him.
However, they were immediately scolded by their elders and were told not to drag their sects down with them if they wanted to die. How could the Medicine God Sect be compared to Mount Emperor? Their sects might really be eliminated if they provoked them.
The older generation remembered.
Fifty thousand years in the past, the Changshen Heavenly Region wasn't the top Heavenly Sect, but another called the "Thunder Sky Sect." They were known for their thunder arts and had five Heavenly Lords in one generation, which were called the invincible Five Ancestral Patriarchs of the Thunder Sky Sect.
They were on top of the other nine sects in their heyday, and were said to be comparable to the imperishable sects. Even the Medicine God Sect and the Fey King Hall were unable to do anything about it.
And yet, the disciples of the Thunder Sky Sect accidentally offended Mount Emperor one day.
Mount Emperor sent out an "edict talisman." It fell from the sky and let out beams of light, destroying the Thunder Sky Sect and killing hundreds of thousands of disciples.
Their five Ancestral Patriarchs tried to resist, but were suppressed by the same talisman.
The entire Thunder Sky Sect was exterminated with a piece of paper.
After that, someone discovered that the edict talisman had to do with the laws written by Heavenly Lord Tatian. They were comparable to an attack from a Soul Formation Heavenly Lord. How could a Nascent Soul Cultivator withstand it? So, it made sense for the Thunder Sky Sect to be exterminated. And that talisman was the "Law of Planet Tianhuang!"
Since then...
All sects obeyed the "Law of Planet Tianhuang" and nobody dared to go against Mount Emperor ever again. A few thousand years past, a Heavenly Lord of the Chinese violated the law and was caught by Mount Emperor right away.
"F**k, Chen Beixuan is also Chinese. Will Mount Emperor go after him?" some people said.
In fact, they were right.
The envoy from Mount Emperor went around the top ten sects and the Heavenly Regions to pass down the order from their Sect Master. They requested for Chen Beixuan to head to Mount Emperor and apologize for breaking the law of Planet Tianhuang within a month.
When the news spread—
The entire Planet Tianhuang was stirred.
"Why? Senior Chen didn't violate any law. Why should he apologize to Mount Emperor?"
Mu Hongti and Yun Yier found it unreasonable.
"Right, Heavenly Lord Chen is the new Heavenly Lord of the Chinese. He's never offended Mount Emperor. Why should he apologize? Mount Emperor should apologize to us instead."
The Chinese were furious.
They had already known that their blood carried the Law of Planet Tianhuang. The eyes of countless Chinese cultivators had turned red. They hadn't been allowed to cultivate for thousands of years, which made them turn into a lowly race at the corner of a Barren Region, bullied by the other cultivators. All those things were kept in the hearts of the Chinese.
"Mount Emperor detained Heaven's Equal back then, and now, they want to catch Heavenly Lord Chen. Are they really trying to stop the Chinese from cultivating?"
Everyone was enraged.
"If they kill Heavenly Lord Chen, the Chinese will lose all hope. We'd rather die than to survive in disgrace!" the Grand Elder of the Chinese shouted.
All the Golden Core Cultivators, including Qin Luo, stood behind him. Although the other elders didn't say anything, the determination in their eyes represented their stance.
But there was nothing they could do.
The news had already circulated across the entire planet.
The surrounding races and sects immediately requested for the envoys who were with the Chinese to go back. Many elders from the Heavenly Sects were on their way to congratulate the Chinese, but they turned around and went back right away. Those who were already in the Chinese settlement made excuses to run away from them.
The Wang Family originally agreed to let the Chinese rule the Beihan Region, but they were regretting the decision at the moment.
Many other families in the Beihuang Region had also stopped contacting the Chinese, regardless of Wang Xuanlong and Wu Qinyan's objections.
The Ancestral Patriarch of the Wu family said, "Chen Beixuan is definitely going to die. Even if Mount Emperor doesn't catch him, there are ten Heavenly Lords outside the deity ground. Once he shows up, they'll kill him for sure. So, why do we have to die with him?"
"Ancestral Patriarch, it was your order to befriend Heavenly Lord Chen and you're already regretting it after just a few days?" Wu Qinyan asked with tears welling up in her eyes.
"Qinyan, don't blame me. You should blame Chen Beixuan. How could he offend Mount Emperor? No matter how strong he is, would he be stronger than the five Ancestral Patriarchs of the Thunder Sky Sect from back then?" an elder said.
Wu Qinyan stood there without saying a word. In the end, the Ancestral Patriarch of the Wu family locked her up and said she couldn't get out until the whole incident was over.
This scene didn't only happen in the Wu Family.
It was also replicated in other sects and families that had made contact with Chen Fan.
In the end, all their Ancestral Patriarchs went and stopped their disciples from helping Chen Fan. Only they knew how terrifying Mount Emperor was. Chen Fan was powerful, but Mount Emperor had only used a piece of paper to exterminate the Thunder Sky Sect back then. So, they could definitely use their Divine Treasures to deal with Chen Fan.
At the Demon-suppressing Sect, three Ancestral Patriarchs were discussing.
"Chen Beixuan is going to die no matter what. Besides, even without Mount Emperor, he would never be able to get past Ancestral Patriarch Fudu."
They had always been watching, never taking any sides, but Chen Fan was facing great danger. Even those three Ancestral Patriarchs had lost faith in him.
"Fine, I'll go to the deity ground tomorrow. I have to pretend I'm doing something, so that Fudu won't think the Demon-suppressing Sect is on Chen Beixuan's side."
The old man in the middle got up slowly.
"Very well!"
The old woman on the right nodded.
Only the old man on the left hesitated and remained silent.
Even though he was confident about Chen Fan, he had to admit that Chen Fan was indeed in big trouble this time.
"What a shame. It took so long for Planet Tianhuang to have such an astonishing young man, but he's about to be killed by those old people. How many more years do we have to wait until the next Soul Formation Cultivator shows up?"
The old man on the left shook his head and sighed.
At this moment, everyone focused their attention on the Demon Warding Heavenly Region, the Ancient Demons Loch and the deity ground, waiting for news about Chen Fan.
One day, two days, three days later.
The deity ground was still uneventful.
Chen Fan seemed to have disappeared.
In the meantime, he was cultivating on the deity ground.
