Chapter 346: Ancient Celestial, Swept Away? Counter Sweep! (Part 2)
Chapter 346: Ancient Celestial, Swept Away? Counter Sweep! (Part 2)
He sighed, "I won't hide it from you all."
"The Ancient Celestials are actually the powerful members of the Celestial Tribe."
"Celestial Tribe?" Xiao Long Nu tilted her head, "I seem to have a vague memory. Please continue."
"Yes, yes."
The prodigy didn't dare delay for a moment, let alone hide anything further, as it concerned his own life. He quickly nodded and bowed, "This Celestial Tribe was an extremely powerful clan during ancient times."
"They once vied for supremacy with divine beast clans like the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin."
"And in a certain ancient era, a heaven-defying powerhouse appeared within their tribe, leading the pure-blooded members to rise and compete with the divine beasts."
"Since then, the Divine Martial Continent has never seen pure-blooded Celestials again."
"I'm not entirely clear on the specifics, but it is said that although the Celestials look almost indistinguishable from humans, they have golden blood flowing through their veins, imbued with a unique divine might."
"Moreover, every pure-blooded Celestial, upon reaching adulthood, possesses the power of the Ninth Realm."
"Hence, the Celestial Tribe is extremely formidable."
"The only issue is that the Celestial Tribe has great difficulty in bearing offspring, so their numbers have always been limited. Coupled with their formidable strength and long lifespans, the number of deceased Celestials is incredibly small."
"And now, the discovery of the Celestial Tomb, which is like a hidden realm, is a first."
"So..."
"Everyone came here with high hopes, aiming to seize treasures."
"There's even a rumor going around..."
"What rumor?" Wang Teng asked.
The prodigy shuddered, "They say that..."
"What do they say?"
"This... I truly don't know, but everyone is spreading this rumor."
"Nonsense."
He Qiang scoffed, "You yourself said no one has ever entered, and even before this, no one has ever excavated the Celestial Tomb. How could anyone know what's inside?"
"And yet, such rumors are spreading. The person spreading them must either have a faulty brain or some ulterior motive!"
"Exactly!" Xiao Ling'er and the others nodded in agreement.
It was clear that there was ill intent behind these rumors.
Even He Qiang, the fisherman, had noticed it, so how could they not be suspicious?
"Malicious intentions."
Boom!
Long Ao Jiao suddenly burst into action and killed the prodigy.
Everyone: "..."
"You're too cruel," Ya Ya sighed.
Long Ao Jiao didn't seem to care, "Being merciful to an enemy is being cruel to oneself. I had almost killed him just now, and he would have harbored deep hatred."
"It's better to take care of him before he becomes a problem."
Huo Yun'er muttered, "Not cautious enough?"
"Shouldn't we scatter his ashes in a windy place?"
Long Ao Jiao hooked her lips, "What caution?"
Everyone: "..."
...
Subsequently, they set up a temporary camp outside the Ancient Celestial Tomb.
Long Ao Jiao had attempted to use her own power and secret techniques to forcefully enter and secure the treasures within, but she found it impossible.
It seemed that the formation surrounding the tomb's exterior utilized unique Celestial Tribe secret techniques and mysterious runes, which even Long Ao Jiao couldn't break. She had no choice but to wait.
This made Long Ao Jiao very unhappy.
"A dead person is so concerned about their tomb, there must be something they don't want others to know."
She grumbled, "Wait until I get in there, and I'll turn your world upside down."
Everyone: "..."
What a character.
To be so secretive about one's own tomb, there must be something they don't want others to know.
If they weren't so cautious, wouldn't it be easy for others to rob their graves and dig up their tombs?
Jian Zi shook his head, mainly because he had an old complaint that was making him feel suffocated.
...
During their wait, more and more people gathered around the tomb.
The majority of them were from the Central Province.
The number of people from the Eight Domains didn't even amount to one-tenth of the total.
One day.
Boom!
The floating city trembled, and the surrounding restrictions began to shake, indicating that the Ancient Celestial Tomb was about to reveal its secrets.
Everyone stood up, their eyes burning with anticipation.
"The Ancient Celestial Tomb, a first in history, and we have no idea what's inside."
"It won't disappoint!"
"After all, this is the tomb of the Celestial Tribe. What kind of existence are they? When they build a tomb for their people, it's bound to be grand in scale and filled with precious burial items."
"However, there are just too many people."
Someone's gaze swept over the crowd.
"Indeed, there are too many people, and with so many eyes, it's not a good situation."
"What if someone gets lucky and steals valuable items despite their lack of strength? That would be a huge loss."
”
“Makes sense!”
“So...”
“Let's clear out the minnow first?”
“This suggestion, this young master likes.”
“Haha, not bad, this Holy Son also agrees with this suggestion. Then, let's start with the people from the Eight Domains. These mere Hicks dare to covet the treasures left by the Celestial Tribes?”
“Sigh, the land of the Eight Domains isn't small, why do these Hicks always think of coming to our Central Province to earn their meals?”
“Truly laughable.”
“...”
In a short time, they reached a consensus to first clear out the 'minnows' from the Eight Domains.
Moreover, they wasted no time, once they decided to act, they did so with great speed and efficiency.
The average quality of the Central Province’s Heavens' Pride was far higher than that of the Eight Domains' cultivators. At this moment, the number of people was nearly ten times the difference, and they launched a sudden attack. It was almost an instant event, and the Heavens' Pride of the Eight Domains had their faces drastically change, falling one after another.
Some even died on the spot.
The rest either struggled to hold on or fled hastily.
Only one person was able to face five opponents and barely maintained the upper hand.
This person wielded black and white energies, and with each point they made, a massive illusory chessboard appeared between heaven and earth, with black and white energies alternating.
It was as if the heavens and earth were the chessboard, and all beings were the pieces. They continuously moved the pieces, changing the chessboard and suppressing all beings! This technique was exceedingly profound.
For a moment, it made people look at it sideways.
Xiao Ling Er and her group noticed this chaos, but they did not retreat even a bit. Instead, they watched with great interest.
"These Heavens' Pride of the Central Province are indeed of high quality. In comparison..."
"They truly have the right to be proud," Su Yan muttered softly.
Long Ao Jiao chuckled, "Haha, occupying the land of the Central Province and and holding the best resources, if their average level was still worse than the Eight Domains, they could all find a tofu block and bash their heads against it."
"I quite agree with that." The young man Shi Hao laughed aloud, "They occupy the land of the Central Province, being stronger is only natural. But I firmly believe I will definitely be stronger than them!"
Everyone laughed upon hearing this.
These Heavens' Pride of the Central Province were indeed quite outstanding.
But it also depended on who they were compared to.
Perhaps among them, there were many who could surpass Huo Yun Er.
But even Huo Yun Er did not take them too seriously.
It wasn’t arrogance, but rather that she had seen too many prodigies, and most of them were currently around her...
Why would she take them seriously?
"Speaking of which, the technique this person is using should be the ultimate technique of the Black White Academy," Xiao Ling Er stared at the person facing five opponents, quite intrigued, "Using the heavens as the chessboard and the stars as the pieces, using the masses as the chess game..."
"Manipulating the masses."
"This technique is indeed quite interesting. I have never engaged with such a technique before," even Long Ao Jiao couldn’t help but praise, but then added, "Unfortunately, their strength is too weak."
"If there’s a chance, I’d like to engage with their Holy son, to let him know that even with all the tricks, it still depends on strength."
Everyone: "..."
...
"Oh?!"
"Black White Academy’s person?"
The cultivators of the Central Province soon noticed this person from the Black and white academy who was facing five opponents and had the upper hand. Many frowned, but they did not immediately take action.
Someone with folded arms snorted coldly, "So what if it’s the Black White Academy? Just a holy land in the Eight Domains. In our Central Province, they don’t count for much."
"You, leave immediately."
"Otherwise, don’t blame us for showing no mercy!"
Their words were vicious, their mouths full of disdain.
But in reality...
The face of the holy land still needed to be given.
However, they could see that this person’s ranking in the Black White Academy was not high, not even in the top rank. Otherwise, their strength would have been terrifying.
So, they wanted to intimidate this person and make them retreat.
But...
If they didn’t retreat, they wouldn’t be too afraid. They didn’t have the nerve to casually kill someone from a holy land, but injuring or chasing them away was still not something they feared.
"Hmph!"
The disciple of the Black White Academy snorted coldly, "Unowned treasures belong to those with the right connection. Since I have come here, why are you targeting us? What rule is this?"
"Besides... threatening me?"
"Someone from our holy land, what do I fear from threats?!"
"If you want to fight, then let’s fight!"
The disciple of the holy land could be injured, could lose, but could not lose their dignity and the face of their holy land!
If they were scared off like this, wouldn’t they be tarnishing the name of their holy land?
"Rule?"
One of the Heavens' Pride of the Central province laughed, "In the Central Province, our words are the rules."
"To you, an outsider, hahaha."
"Since you refuse to retreat, then we will make you retreat!"
This person slightly tilted his head.
Immediately, another five people joined the battle.
One against ten, the disciple of the Black White Academy, who had been at an advantage, suddenly fell into a disadvantage, struggling to barely hold on.
...
"This is a bit too much."
"Not even giving the face of a holy land, not even giving the chance to enter the Celestial Tomb?" Huo Yun Er’s brows slightly furrowed, "Ling Er, our relationship with the Black White Academy is a cooperative one."
"Now that the disciple of the Black White Academy is in trouble, should we stand by and watch?"
Everyone looked at Xiao Ling Er—except for Long Ao Jiao.
As the senior sister, although Lin Fan had not explicitly instructed, everyone knew that everything was led by Xiao Ling Er.
Especially in matters related to the sect.
Lin Fan also trusted Xiao Ling Er to make decisions.
After all...
The character of someone like Xiao Huo Huo is absolutely beyond reproach.
However, before Xiao Ling Er could speak, cold laughter came from around them.
"Oh?"
"Hahaha, you are quite bold."
"Almost all the other Hicks have been cleared out, you saw everything, yet you still choose not to immediately retreat but wait here instead."
"What are you waiting for? To die?"
"Do you have the leisure to worry about others?"
"You..."
"Should focus on yourselves first."
A group of Central Province tyrants quietly surrounded them, intending to capture Xiao Ling Er and her entire group.
Long Ao Jiao laughed, "Hehe. How do you feel about this, Xiao Ling Er?"
Xiao Ling Er sighed helplessly, "I wanted a fair competition, but they won't give us a chance."
"Since that's the case..."
"Then let's clean things up first."
"Let's clear out all these people. Without outsiders around, we can explore more freely."
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.
At this moment, who wasn't feeling a surge of anger? Ever since arriving in the Central Province, they had been called 'hicks' everywhere they went.
Although no one was specifically named, every time, they were all insulted.
And they were ostracized everywhere.
Although they weren't as explosive as Long Ao Jiao, who would beat up others without hesitation, it was impossible for them to be completely indifferent.
Now, these Central Province tyrants were blatantly sweeping away everyone from the Eight Domains around the Mystic Realm, even disregarding the face of the Holy Land, the Black White Institute.
This further fueled their anger.
If those top-tier tyrants were indiscriminately attacking others, wanting to finish off everyone before entering the Mystic Realm, it would be understandable.
But to specifically target the people from the Eight Domains, calling them 'hicks'...
Who wouldn't feel infuriated?
Despite their frustration, they couldn't act without Xiao Ling Er, the big sister, giving the order.
But now...
"Let me handle this!"
Jian Zi was the first to step forward.
A three-foot green blade instantly unsheathed in his hand. "During this time, I've made significant progress. Allow me to put on a show for you all."
Boom!!!
His aura surged.
A giant shadow sword appeared behind him, and a unique 'spirit' manifested on the blade, causing the wind and clouds to stir and the sword to shake the Eight Wastelands.
The Central Province cultivators were stunned.
"This, this kind of might?!"
"Be careful, it's the Sword Spirit Saint Body!!!"
"This hick is not to be underestimated!"
"Too slow!" However, just as they were on guard and Jian Zi was still preparing, Long Ao Jiao had already charged forward, her domineering and overbearing presence was overwhelming. With a single punch, she knocked out two young cultivators and continued her assault on the others.
"Ah?!"
"This, this girl is so demonic!"
"Who is she? How does she have such strength?!"
Everyone was shocked.
"Go and have some fun." Wang Teng rolled up his sleeves and smiled, "If you want another chance like this, it's probably not going to happen."
Huo Yun Er immediately looked at Jiang Li and Jiang Ni, the sisters, "Let's take action too."
"If we're late, we might not even get a sip of soup."
"Mhm!"
The sisters nodded and joined Huo Yun Er in the attack.
Although the Jiang sisters weren't from the Divine Martial Continent, they had emotions and desires. Their previous experiences had left them with pent-up anger.
Their attacks were ruthless.
They showed no mercy!
Although they weren't main character templates, two of them were female lead templates, and Huo Yun Er was at least a highly ranked 'supporting female' or even 'female lead' template.
The three of them combined were not weak!
Especially Huo Yun Er, after cultivating the Flame Burning Art and using the wealth of the Fire Kunlun, she bought three types of lower-ranked Unearthly Fires and devoured them...
Even though their quality and quantity couldn't compare to Xiao Ling Er's, they were still Unearthly Fires. With the support of the Flame Burning Art, once she unleashed the Great Sun Flame Burning, it would be earth-shattering.
Jiang Ni was a sword embryo with sword talent not inferior to Jian Zi's!
She was naturally lazy and didn't like cultivation, but with the guidance and influence of the Three Leaves, her strength had increased, and she had made rapid progress.
As for Jiang Li...
She seemed ordinary.
But her 'template' was the strongest among the three! At least, that's how it was in the original story. Her strength was no weaker than the others.
With the three of them working together...
Although they were not well-known, they were no weaker than the disciples of the Black White Institute, and even stronger than him. Wherever they went, Central Province cultivators were left in awe.
Even those with some reputation as tyrants were 'cut down' by them!
Wang Teng also took action, but not at full strength.
The talent of the Emperor's appearance was not an empty name. As long as he didn't encounter a main character template, he could handle a few waves.
Moreover, he had already broken free from the shackles of fate and, with Lin Fan's guidance in multiple cultivation methods and techniques, his strength was unfathomable.
At this moment, he was just testing out the 'Miniature Artificial Sun Fist.'
He realized that he couldn't replicate his master Lin Fan's every move as a complete Artificial Sun Fist. So...
It was just a miniature version.
Although the power was greatly reduced, as long as the frequency was high enough, it would never be weak! The facts proved this to be true.
At this moment, Wang Teng, even though he couldn't achieve one punch per opponent, no one could withstand his continuous punches. A slight misstep would turn them into 'charcoal,' or they might even evaporate!
Ya Ya...
Didn't take action.
Or perhaps she did, in her own way.
She used the Heaven Devouring Demon Art to condense the Daoist Treasure Vase, slowly devouring the origins of those defeated by her sect members.
Qin Yu and Xu Feng Lai responded, cutting down a few more to relieve their pent-up frustrations.
After all, they had to look after their loved ones.
They were Central Province tyrants, and among them were a few formidable individuals, so they couldn't be careless.
Su Yan was acting...
This guy was once again trying to 'listen to advice' for the reward of free advice from the group, so they told him to play the fool to avoid drawing attention too early.
Song Yun Xiao...
