At the entrance of the ancestral tomb in the back mountain of the Heaven Palace Academy!
This place had countless years of history. All kinds of huge stone pillars stood in great numbers, and each pillar was engraved with densely packed names. These were the names of the disciples of the Heaven Palace Sect who had died overnight. This was a way for Li Xuanqi to commemorate them.
Behind the stone pillars was the ancestral tomb of the Heaven Palace Sect.
The entire tomb occupied more than half of the huge mountain, and the stone wall at the entrance was engraved with ruthless demonic beasts. The imposing manner was majestic, and it carried a kind of soul-stirring implication.
At this moment, led by Li Qinghe, the third-generation Dean of the Heaven Palace Academy, the four building heads, the Pavilion Heads, the Elders, and all the higher-ups of the Heaven Palace Academy were here.
Today was the Heaven Palace Academy's Ancestral Worship Day, which was held every five years. Every five years, they had to enter the tomb to refine the Spiritual Celestial Stones in order to replenish the Celestial Core Power of the two Deans.
The outside world thought that the previous two deans had passed away, but in fact, they had indeed reached the end of their lifespans for many years. However, Li Xuanqi had found a way to revive himself in the ancestral tomb. In his later years, he had spent a great deal of effort to set up a Revival Spirit Formation, and had used countless heavenly materials and earthly treasures as well as immortal weapons. Only on the day his lifespan came to an end was he able to preserve his soul and maintain the immortality of his body.
However, this method had a lot of disadvantages. It consumed a lot of treasures. Every five years, apprentices had to refine a lot of Spiritual Celestial Stones to keep the array running. Also, the two Deans couldn't leave the ancestral tomb. They had to stay in the tomb forever.
However, if this method was maintained for a long time, after many years, with the nourishment of a lot of Celestial Core Power, their bodies would be able to recover slowly and merge with their souls again. In this way, they would be resurrected in a real sense and live longer.
The current Dean of the Heaven Palace Academy, Li Qinghe, was a descendant of Li Xuanqi. He had always adhered to the teachings of his ancestors. Every five years, he would come here with the building heads and Elders to maintain the spell. At the same time, he could communicate with Li Xuanqi and the second-generation Dean.
Also, some outstanding young descendants would be selected to inherit the inheritance of the two Deans.
This method allowed the Heaven Palace Academy to recruit sovereigns from different places. It also ensured that the important positions of the Heaven Palace Academy wouldn't be taken by outsiders. Moreover, the two Deans who were thought to be dead could be used as the foundation for the future.
Today, the people standing outside the ancestral grave were either the descendants of Li Xuanqi or the building heads of the past. They were all people who could keep secrets and were loyal to the Heaven Palace Academy and the Li Family.
However, as the descendants of the Li Family spread out and their numbers increased, this cohesiveness gradually weakened.
Although their hearts were still in the Heaven Palace Academy, everyone wanted to obtain the inheritance and become stronger. The inheritance was held every five years, so the competition among the younger generation was especially fierce.
Li Xuanqi was the first-generation Dean and the founder of the Heaven Palace Academy. The second-generation Dean was Li Xuanqi's youngest son. The third-generation Dean, Li Qinghe, was Li Xuanqi's second grandson. The Deputy Dean was Li Xuanqi's eldest grandson. The other four building heads were the descendants of the second-generation Dean's sons. They were also Li Xuanqi's grandchildren.
All of them had their own descendants. The most outstanding one was Li Wenqu, the son of the Vice Deans of the Heaven Palace Academy.
The Heaven Palace Academy was established by a huge family system. It had absorbed countless sovereigns from the Heaven Continent. However, it was divided into various factions, which had fierce internal conflicts.
Li Wenqu was standing at the back of the crowd with a faint smile on his face.
This was the 10th time that he had come to the ancestral tomb to worship the ancestors. 50 years ago, he had been an ordinary person. Now, he had become the most outstanding young cultivator of the Li Family and one of the most outstanding sovereigns in the Heaven Continent.
Many people had compared him with the Divine Being of Taoist Fetus in the Sage Sect. Of course, the Divine Being of Taoist Fetus was more powerful. However, Li Wenqu knew clearly that as he participated in more and more ancestor-worshiping ceremonies and received more inheritances, the gap between him and the Divine Being of Taoist Fetus would become smaller and smaller.
Moreover, there was a secret plan between him, his father, Li Qingshan, the current Vice Dean of the Heaven Palace Academy, and the Dean of the second generation who was buried in the ancestral tomb.
The so-called Divine Being of Taoist Fetus and the Body of Heavenly Kismet would eventually become his good fortune.
"Wenqu, don't leave in a hurry after worshipping the ancestors. Remember to report something to your grandfather." A voice sounded in Li Wenqu's mind at this time.
"Got it, father!" Li Wenqu nodded his head slightly and looked at the middle-aged man in the front. It was his father, Li Qingshan.
He knew what Li Qingshan meant when he asked him to report something to him.
The reason why the Heaven Palace Academy wanted to promote the union of the Divine Being of Taoist Fetus and the Body of Heavenly Kismet, Jiang Hongyan, was not just to witness the birth of the Divine Being of Heavenly Kismet.
To be exact, it might be the same for other people. However, the purpose of Li Wenqu, his father, and the second-generation Dean was not so simple.
"Also, is there any news about the old man you sent out to search for?" Li Qingshan's voice sounded again at this time.
Li Wenqu shook his head, "No. They disappeared completely after they showed up in the Taiyin Celestial Realm. However, I don't think we need to pay too much attention to them. An old liar is nothing, let alone a descendant of an old liar!"
"No matter what, we can't be careless about this matter. Jiang Hongyan said before that she had a cultivation companion, Xu Que. Now, Xu Que didn't show up, but his father showed up. This matter is a bit strange. Remember to handle it well. The union of the Divine Being of Taoist Fetus and the Body of Heavenly Kismet can't be destroyed. "
"Father, I understand." Li Wenqu nodded his head slightly and said with a smile, "Although Xu Que and his father may be a variable, don't forget that the Sage Sect and the Divine Being of Taoist Fetus are more willing to see the birth of the Divine Being of Heavenly Kismet than we are. So, you don't need to worry about this matter."
"Of course I know that. However, I hope that some variables will disappear before they become variables. Do you understand?"
"Yes! So, you can still rest assured that once our people find Xu Que's father, they will definitely kill him and track down the whereabouts of Xu Que. As for the Sage Sect … I have a plan to make them take action. "
"Oh? What's your plan? "
"Father, a few days ago, I received news that the Holy Water River on the Snow Fog Mountain of the Sage Sect dried up. I tried my best to find out that the palace on the Snow Fog Mountain was stolen. However, they blocked the news. I have taken this opportunity to throw the blame on Xu Que's father. Soon, there will be a rumor that the palace was stolen by Xu Que's father. At that time, the Sage Sect will definitely send people to track down the old man and even force him to give an explanation."
After saying that, Li Wenqu sneered, "I don't believe that old man can sit still after I throw the blame on him. In this world, no one dares to offend the Heaven Palace Academy and the Sage Sect at the same time!"
BOOM!
At the same time, a big bang came from the entrance of the ancestral grave.
Li Wenqu and his father had stopped talking to each other. They looked at the ancestral grave with solemn expressions, just like everyone else in this area.
"Li Qinghe of the Heaven Palace Academy, together with Li Qingshan, the Deputy Dean, the Four Building Heads, and the 36 Pavilion Heads, pay our respects to the ancestors!" Li Qinghe, the leader of the group, shouted loudly. His voice was so loud that it could be heard everywhere.
The next moment, a majestic voice also came from the ancestral grave.
"Come in!"
