"I think Dongfang Haoran must be filled with regret right now …" Cong Jiu chuckled.
Python Nine chuckled. "This fellow has always done things according to his whims and needs to adapt to the circumstances. However, he never imagined that he would do something that would put you in such a passive position."
Yun Yang thought about it and said, "No, Palace Lord Dongfang would never harm me. His plan should have been well prepared."
He was certain of this.
"Of course he wouldn't harm you! In fact, he would have done everything he could to help you, but … there's a limit to a man's strength. Even a top expert like him can't hide the truth from the masses. "
Yun Yang asked with a frown, "Senior, please speak frankly. What is the reason?"
He said doubtfully, "The ones who came to kill me were actually from the East Celestial Palace, and they were even people who were familiar with me. This has already made me extremely puzzled. Also, they said that I blocked someone's path … it's even more baffling. "
Cong Jiu laughed. "Sect Leader Yun, you're young and talented, smart and wise, but you're still lacking in experience and a certain level of worldly wisdom. You actually don't know your own existence. Have you really blocked someone's path?"
Yun Yang thought about it and asked cautiously, "May I ask senior, whose path have I blocked?"
Cong Jiu was silent for a moment before he sealed the entire room with his mental energy.
Yun Yang was moved.
This should be the safest place in Tian Fa, yet he still had to set up a seal?
What was Cong Jiu trying to say?
For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was unprecedentedly heavy.
Amidst the heavy atmosphere, Cong Jiu asked softly, "Do you know … the Supreme Heaven Pavilion?"
"The Supreme Heaven Pavilion?" Yun Yang was a little confused. "What kind of place is that? This junior has never heard of it. Aren't the top forces in the Bound of Universe the three heavenly palaces? "
Cong Jiu smiled faintly. "The top forces in this world are naturally led by the three heavenly palaces, but … the Supreme Heaven Pavilion has a different meaning of existence."
"Just now, I mentioned that the reason why you are being targeted is because you are blocking the path of others. By blocking the path, it means that you are blocking the path of others to the Supreme Heaven Pavilion. Therefore, even though you are a hero of the Human Clan in the Black Yellow Continent, and it is not taboo to target you, there are still many people who want to take this risk!"
"That's because what you're affecting isn't the interests of a single person, but the future of a large group of people."
"I'd like to hear the details," Yun Yang requested respectfully.
"The Supreme Heavenly Pavilion is an extremely mysterious place. Even though they don't have any representatives in name, the top notch powerhouses of the entire Xuanhuang World are all chosen by the Supreme Heavenly Pavilion. There is no doubt that the Supreme Heaven Pavilion is the best in the Bound of Universe. "
"The Supreme Heavenly Pavilion selects on behalf of the Heavens, bestows the authority of the Heavens."
Yun Yang listened quietly, digesting the sudden, earth-shattering information bit by bit.
The sudden appearance of the Supreme Heaven Pavilion baffled Yun Yang, and he was even a little perplexed.
He didn't interrupt and just listened attentively, occasionally refilling the tea.
"Only cultivators who have reached a certain level of reputation and ability are qualified to enter the Supreme Heaven Pavilion. As long as they can enter the first level of the Supreme Heaven Pavilion and stay there for two hours, they'll have the chance to receive a gift, a gift that's beyond their expectations. This is also the basic qualification to become the hall masters of the three heavenly palaces. For example, the head of the Sacred Heart Palace. "
Yun Yang's eyes widened, his disbelief growing. There's such a thing?
"Whether it's the three heavenly palaces' lords or the hall masters of the halls under them, they're all in the hands of the Supreme Heaven Pavilion."
"In fact, the current Hall Masters have all received the Supreme Heaven Pavilion's approval before they were able to assume their current positions. There is no objection to the Supreme Heaven Pavilion's vetting authority. No force, no person, no living being is allowed to interfere."
Mang Jiu glanced at Yun Yang and took a sip of tea before he continued speaking slowly.
Yun Yang's mind raced as he vaguely thought of something, but he was more confused than anything else.
"The Supreme Heaven Pavilion only opens once every ten thousand years. If someone passes the screening, the Supreme Heaven Pavilion will immediately appoint them, and the previous hall master will be relieved of his position …"
"Huh? Relieved of his position? How important is the hall master's authority? Has there ever been anyone who was reluctant to let go of the authority? "Yun Yang's speculation gradually formed in his heart as he probed the crux of the matter.
"No, no one has dared to violate this rule in the past hundreds of thousands of years. The Supreme Heaven Pavilion's screening appointment is approved by heaven's will. It can't be violated. Once it is violated, one will have to bear the heavenly punishment. Life and power, the pros and cons are determined."
"Appointment?" Yun Yang asked again, pointing to another keyword.
"That's right. It's an appointment. The Supreme Heaven Pavilion's selection appointment is equivalent to Heaven appointing you to a certain position. "
Mang Jiu said, "The appointment is announced to the world right from the start and is approved by heaven's will."
Yun Yang's doubt grew as he pressed on, "Since there's a first level, there must be a higher level. What's the difference?"
"Cultivators who can go to the second level are qualified to become the masters of the three heavenly palaces and the master of Tian Fa Holy Land. Of course, the screening process is extremely difficult. If you enter and are not recognized, you will be expelled. Moreover, as long as you are expelled, you will not be able to enter again in this life. If you force yourself to do so, you will be obliterated and killed. You will die and be consigned to eternal damnation. "
"Senior has mentioned qualifications again and again. Does this mean that there's more than one person who has this qualification, or that more than one person has the right to be screened?" Yun Yang's mind was nimble as he gradually identified the key point that he was being targeted.
"Yes, the three heavenly palaces have a few candidates waiting for the selection that happens once every ten thousand years. Either they inherit the heavenly palaces, or they ascend to the unprecedented third level … "
"As for you, with your current reputation and meritorious deeds, not only are you qualified to compete for the second or third trial, but you are also qualified to compete for the second or third trial. Moreover, with the positive impact you have on the Black Yellow Continent, as long as your cultivation base reaches a certain level, you will have a great chance of being acknowledged by the Supreme Heavenly Pavilion."
"Once the Supreme Heaven Pavilion's acknowledgement and the appointment is announced to the world, you might become the master of the East Celestial Palace … or the master of the West Celestial Palace. It's a great thing to be blessed with great providence … Do you understand? After the appointment is confirmed, if someone else were to target you or attack you directly, it would be a loss of providence if it's light and death if it's severe. If it's someone from the same place as you, the damage would be even more severe. Once the successor of the palace is killed by the palace's people, the entire palace will be annihilated! "
Yun Yang's gaze grew more solemn. "That means …"
"That means … every single one of the three heavenly palaces' candidates who are being groomed will want to kill you! And their supporters will want to kill you for this reason, to get rid of a threat like you! "
"The threat you pose is too great. You're certain to be able to take down one of them, so naturally, you'll be everyone's target!"
"Furthermore, those who come to kill you might not have been ordered, but they're acting on their own accord …"
"If you think about it carefully, you'll understand the reason. If I were those people's followers, I'd kill you as well … Now, it looks like the probability of you taking over the East Celestial Palace is the highest, but it's not impossible for you to take over the West Celestial Palace or even the Northern Wasteland Demonic Palace. You are a free man, so you can join any Sky Palace you want! "
"If you replace the candidate they're following, wouldn't it mean that their ten thousand years of effort would be wasted in an instant? It'd be meaningless."
Mang Jiu chuckled bitterly. "Speaking of which … even if you were to take over the Holy Land of Tian Fa, it wouldn't be too unexpected to me. In fact, it'd be reasonable and expected. That's why I've asked them before you came … "
He pondered for a moment before continuing, "I asked them if they would have any thoughts if Yun Yang were to take over the Holy Land of Tian Fa. And the answer they gave me was … acceptable. But from what I can see, they're actually looking forward to you taking over the Holy Land of Tian Fa. I don't know what to say … "
For some reason, Yun Yang felt a surge of warmth that coursed through his entire body.
"This is the reason. It's a very simple reason. There's nothing wrong with it. It's fate." Mang Jiu smiled and sighed softly.
"Where there are people, there's a martial world. Even if it's under the premise of the survival of the entire human race, such a situation of fighting for power and profit … is still unavoidable. It's bound to happen."
Yun Yang was silent for a moment before he said, "It's fate indeed, the unpredictable martial world … However, it's also this kind of fighting for power and profit that drives the continuous improvement of mankind. Although I feel pressured, I can still understand it."
He smiled faintly. "It's just that after considering our standpoint, once we meet face to face, we still have to kill those who should be killed. Understanding is one thing, and being hostile is another."
Mang Jiu chortled. "Good! These words are really well said! "
Yun Yang smiled gently and said, "The martial world's path is a path of life and death. No matter what the reason is, as long as one comes to fight to the death … it's still a matter of the martial world in the end. There's nothing unacceptable or incomprehensible about it. Those who live in the end are the victors and the righteous; those who die are nothing. The winner takes all, and the loser is nothing. "
Mang Jiu nodded. "That's right, that's right!"
Yun Yang suddenly chuckled and said, "Listening to senior's words, Yun Yang's heart is suddenly enlightened. No wonder I often feel that … the higher the level of the leaders and leaders I've come into contact with, basically all of them are a little …"
Yun Yang chuckled, too embarrassed to continue.
Mang Jiu guffawed. "They're all a little jumpy and eccentric. All of them feel that their reputations aren't as good as meeting them in person. Isn't that right?"
Yun Yang chuckled sheepishly.
"These are the Chosen Ones!"
Mang Jiu guffawed. "They've never been elected because they're experienced and sophisticated, nor because they're proficient in the sect's affairs, nor because they're good at socializing … It's only because God thinks that they can lead their respective forces to a brighter future."
"So … these are the Chosen Ones!"
"Ever since the Bound of Universe was created, the Chosen Ones have never been wrong! That's why there are the three celestial palaces that shake the world today. "
"I see. So this is the truth?"
A mocking smile hung on Yun Yang's face as he murmured, "So, it's me who's blocking the path of those … so-called Chosen Ones … I have something to say, but it's a pity that they won't believe me."
Mang Jiu said excitedly, "May I ask what truth it is? This old and useless one would like to hear it!"
Yun Yang's eyes glinted with a sharp glint as he said faintly, "I wouldn't dare to claim that it's a wise opinion, but it's just an opinion that comes from the bottom of my heart. I just want to say … I've never thought much of the position of a mere leader of a celestial palace!"
Yun Yang's words were spoken in a straightforward manner, but the arrogance in his bones was undeniable.
Mang Jiu was not offended at all. Instead, he agreed and said, "That's right. With your age, your cultivation base, your advancement in ability, and your achievements, it's reasonable that you don't think much of a mere celestial palace. I believe that Dongfang Haoran's expectations for you aren't just limited to inheriting a celestial palace. He probably hopes that you can … step into the third level of Supreme Heaven Pavilion that no one has ever stepped foot into since the beginning of time in the Bound of Universe! "
Yun Yang's heart skipped a beat.
Was Dongfang Haoran so optimistic about his future?
Recalling the bits and pieces of his interactions with Dongfang Haoran in the East Celestial Palace, Yun Yang immediately felt that his words were true. Dongfang Haoran might very well have thought so.
The series of actions that followed were done in the same manner for the advancement of his cultivation base. It was a subtle feeling that he would not hesitate to tear down the East Celestial Palace as long as he needed it.
"In fact, Dongfang Haoran had explained about how much he valued you, but other than the three of us, no one else would believe him. After all, the position of the celestial palace's leader is already the limit of their imagination." Mang Jiu smiled. "Actually, it's not just the others. Even among the three of us, there might be some who have doubts."
Yun Yang chuckled. "Seniors, you think too highly of me."
Mang Jiu smiled. "That's how it should be. Everything is what you deserve. Back then … Dongfang Haoran was in charge of treating you and helping you advance. He even disregarded his subordinates' attempts to stop him and allowed you to fight many experts from the East Celestial Palace … Other than allowing your cultivation base to advance, he might have also wanted you to familiarize yourself with those people. As for me … I've never shown myself. I've only waited here for you. I'm here to answer your doubts. I can answer all your doubts. "
Yun Yang nodded slowly.
"Those whose cultivation base has reached our level are used to imagining the worst possible scenario … It's a good thing that you can be merciless and merciless to the Demon Race, but what will you do when you're facing these scum of the human race? Will you be restrained? Other than targeting you, they've always fought for the human race … It's an understatement to say that their achievements are glorious. Any one of them has worked hard and made great contributions. If you're hesitant because of this and can't kill them, it's inevitable that they'll take advantage of you. "
…
It's strange. I've only logged off when I saw the update with my own eyes last night, but it hasn't been updated yet. This has happened seven to eight times this year. It's never happened before, so it would only repeat itself. Now, it's so strange. There's more in the afternoon. gt;
