Two years passed in a hurry!
In the Earth Continent, the Zhen Yuan Celestial Realm had been restored to its former calm.
The forces of the entire Celestial Realm had been baptized, and the structure had completely changed.
Since the battle with the Exploding Heavens Faction two years ago, the Dingtian Academy had been completely removed. As for the Equipment Refining Sect, although there was still a branch, it was basically in name only. Unless other Celestial Realms sent people over, the Equipment Refining Sect in the Zhen Yuan Celestial Realm was basically abandoned.
As for some of the mid-tier forces, they had also been reshuffled.
At present, the Alchemy Sect had the greatest influence in the Zhen Yuan Celestial Realm. However, unlike the Equipment Refining Sect, the Alchemy Sect rarely interfered in the competition between the major forces. They completely abided by their duties and only did their job of serving the alchemists.
Among the major forces, the Litian Academy had become the largest academy in the Zhen Yuan Celestial Realm.
The forces that had followed the Litian Academy to oppose the Dingtian Academy and the Equipment Refining Sect had also become second only to the Litian Academy.
But all the cultivators in the Zhen Yuan Celestial Realm knew that the Litian Academy and other forces were far inferior to the Exploding Heavens Faction.
What's more, these forces had announced two years ago that they were willing to become affiliates of the Exploding Heavens Faction.
So now, the Exploding Heavens Faction was the largest force in the Zhen Yuan Celestial Realm, and it was unprecedentedly powerful. Even the Equipment Refining Sect in its heyday couldn't be stronger than the current Exploding Heavens Faction in its control and influence over the Zhen Yuan Celestial Realm.
This wasn't because the Equipment Refining Sect was too weak, but because the Equipment Refining Sect itself didn't belong to the category of forces. It wasn't convenient to extend its reach too far. Moreover, the Zhen Yuan Celestial Realm was a Celestial Realm governed by the Zhen Yuan Taoist. The Equipment Refining Sect couldn't act too openly. If they really controlled the Zhen Yuan Celestial Realm, it would be equivalent to fighting for power with the Zhen Yuan Taoist.
But the Exploding Heavens Faction was different. It belonged to a force, and the Zhen Yuan Taoist didn't care about the competition between the forces.
What's more, after the Exploding Heavens Faction became famous in the Celestial Realm, it disappeared without a trace. It had no intention of controlling the Zhen Yuan Taoist.
Therefore, so far, even though the power structure of the Zhen Yuan Celestial Realm had changed so much, no one had seen Zhen Yuan Taoist come out and say anything. Even the experts of the Equipment Refining Sect in other Celestial Realms had not come to inquire about or investigate the matter of the Equipment Refining Sect's branch. The hidden story was very intriguing.
However, in the past two years, although there was still no news about the Exploding Heavens Faction, no one could forget the word "great". From time to time, people would discuss it and describe the Exploding Heavens Faction as extremely powerful and mysterious.
But when it came to Gang Leader Xu Que, it caused a lot of discussion!
"That Faction Leader is most likely dead!"
"After all, someone witnessed that Faction Leader being incapacitated by King Equipment Refiner Liu in that battle. Then the Faction Leader escaped with a talisman, and no one has heard from him since."
"That's right. The higher-ups of the Litian Academy once discussed that the disappearance of the Exploding Heavens Faction in the past two years might be related to the death or casualties of the Faction Leader!"
"Alas, no matter how powerful a cultivator at the Human Celestial Stage is, he is still a cultivator at the Human Celestial Stage. Ordinary people would have exploded and died after being hit by an ace at the Golden Celestial Stage. It's a miracle that the Faction Leader didn't die on the spot!"
"Well, if that's the case, the Faction Leader, Xu Que, might have been seriously injured, and the Exploding Heavens Faction is busy treating him, or even trying to save him."
When people discussed it, they would naturally exaggerate their guesses, and in the end, it would slowly spread to be the truth.
Xu Que was alive and well, but in most people's eyes, it was said that he had died in battle.
…
On this day, there was a commotion in the passageway of the Zhen Yuan Celestial Realm, which attracted the attention of several guards.
The passageway between the Earth Continent and the Heaven Continent was the passageway connecting the Earth Continent and the Heaven Continent. However, since the road between the Earth Continent and the Heaven Continent had been closed, this place had become more and more desolate, and only a few guards were left to guard it.
Now that there was movement in the passageway between the Heaven and Earth, it naturally meant that someone from the Heaven Continent had come down.
"After more than two years, people from the Heaven Continent have come again."
"It's a pity that we can't go back now!"
"I guess the Heaven Continent doesn't know that our road to the Heaven Continent has been closed. Otherwise, it's impossible for anyone to come down now."
"That's for sure. After all, the Heaven Continent's Spiritual Qi and resources can't be compared to the Earth Continent!"
"Ha, ha, many people think that the Earth Continent is not much worse than the Heaven Continent. In fact, in comparison, the Earth Continent is only a speck of light in front of the Heaven Continent!"
"Forget it, forget it, what's the point of saying this? Anyway, we're not qualified to go up, and now the road to the Heaven Continent is blocked!"
"That's right, let's hurry up and see who it is, and then report to the superiors of the Palace of Heaven and Earth!"
After chatting for a while, several guards walked toward the exit of the passageway between the Heaven and Earth.
At this time, the exit of the passageway between the Heaven and Earth was glowing, and the power of the spell was slowly dissipating.
One of the guards asked respectfully, "May I ask which senior has come to the Earth Continent?"
Howl! In the passageway between the Heaven and Earth, there was a sharp howl of a wolf.
Several guards' faces suddenly changed, "A Demonic Beast? Could it be that a Demon King has come? "
But the next moment, they were dumbfounded.
The brilliance in the passageway between the Heaven and Earth dissipated, and then a man and a dog flew out of it. They were in a mess, and it looked like they were fleeing for their lives.
"This …" Several guards couldn't help but look at each other in dismay.
According to the rules, those who could travel between the Heaven and Earth Continents must be existences above the Heaven Celestial Stage, and they must have distinguished identities to have such qualifications.
So every time someone came down, these guards had to respectfully address them as senior.
But now, the Cultivation Stage of the man and the dog in front of them was completely different from what they had imagined.
That man was an old man, a dirty old man. He was wearing a tattered robe, and he looked very sloppy, like an old beggar. And his Cultivation Stage was only at the Later Stage of the Human Celestial Stage!
As for the dog, it was impossible to tell his Cultivation Stage, but it was much taller and stronger than ordinary dogs, and it looked a little like a wolf. When it didn't speak, it was a little imposing, but its pair of sneaky eyes made it difficult for people to be in awe of it.
"Hey, is this the Earth Continent? It's too shabby! "At this time, the dog looked around and suddenly spoke the human language.
The dirty old man also looked around slightly, and then his eyes fell on several guards. He asked with a smile, "Young brothers, is this place the Earth Continent?"
"Uh, yes! May I ask … ahem, may I ask the two seniors, how should I address you? "A guard replied awkwardly.
Although he was also at the Human Celestial Stage, according to the rules, he still had to address the man and the dog in front of him as seniors.
But this address made the man and the dog very comfortable when they heard it.
"Yo!"
"Yo, yo!"
The dirty old man and the dog made a strange expression one after another. They stared at the guard and winked at him with a smile, "What did you just call us?"
