The path to Heaven was too difficult. Even Jiang Xiaofan now felt that it was almost impossible. Therefore, he gradually suspected that the prophecy from ancient times was just a prophecy. Even peerless figures like the mysterious man and Sun Qiju failed to reach the Heaven Realm. How difficult would it be to reach the real Heaven?
"Who cares about that stuff? Let's get drunk today. That's enough."
Qin Ra said.
Jiang Xiaofan glanced at him disdainfully and said, "You perverted bastard, you're only this much. Didn't you just say that you want to become stronger in the shortest time possible and reach the Emperor Realm before the final battle? Now you're scared?"
"The path ahead is too foggy. I can't see clearly."
Qin Ra muttered.
Black lines appeared on Jiang Xiaofan's forehead. This guy was actually saying something meaningful.
"Brother Qin, you must be strong."
Chen Yifeng smiled.
Chang Mu Heng was expressionless. Then he gave Qin Ra a thumbs up to show his encouragement.
"Puff!"
Seeing Chang Mu's action, Jiang Xiaofan directly spat out the wine in his mouth.
The sun rose higher in the sky. Soon it was the second night. They had not seen each other for more than ten years. The group of old friends naturally had a lot to talk about. It was not until three days later that they temporarily separated.
"Blockhead, set up the sword formation!"
Qin Ra said.
Chang Mu Heng nodded and really began to set up around the Heaven Court. It was a huge mysterious sword formation. The old liar and others in the small world above the Heaven Court were all astonished.
"This sword formation is not simple."
Yuetong Ancestor narrowed her eyes.
Old Man Tianxu nodded. "It's normal. That young man is the reincarnation of the Peerless Sword Saint from ancient times."
The Heaven Court was far larger than the Purple Sun Sect. Therefore, Chang Mu Heng spent a lot of time and materials to set up the mysterious sword formation. It took him a full six days to complete it. The moment the sword formation was completed, a light world suddenly lit up outside the Heaven Court. Then, the light world quickly dimmed.
"It's done."
Qin Ra laughed heartily.
On the seventh day, Jiang Xiaofan came to the small world opened up by the old liar and the others. The few older generation experts were still sipping tea. They looked so relaxed that they were just short of finding a group of dancers to sing a song to liven things up.
"Hey, hey, as emperors, is it really okay for you to be so comfortable?"
Jiang Xiaofan felt helpless.
Although emperor rank experts couldn't make a move in the current era, it was good for them to go into seclusion. What was the point of drinking tea all day?
"Is it bothering you?"
The old swindler gave him a sidelong glance.
Ice Dragon raised his head and said disdainfully, "This kid has strict masochistic tendencies. Don't mind him."
The old man and the dragon were the most leisurely, but looking at their appearance, the pair of eyes and the pair of dragon eyes were almost abnormally squinted together. It was obvious that they were discussing some inappropriate topic.
"Young man, sit."
Yuetong Ancestor said.
The old man always carried a teapot and poured tea for Jiang Xiaofan whenever he came in.
Cang Ya remained silent and nodded at Jiang Xiaofan.
"Kid, don't think that the emperors really have nothing to do during this period of time. Don't look at us like this. In fact, we have been preparing something."
Heavenly Oasis Old Man said.
Jiang Xiaofan was surprised, "Preparing something?"
"You will know when the time comes."
Heavenly Oasis Old Man said.
Jiang Xiaofan, "…"
Suddenly, a faint fluctuation came from the Heaven Palace in the center of the Heaven Court, causing Jiang Xiaofan to be slightly surprised.
"This is?!"
He looked outside, and a glint flashed across his eyes.
Yuetong Ancestor and the others raised their heads and looked over, but they didn't show any surprise.
The old liar suddenly said, "Don't look. That is the great god you brought back. He had already recovered his vitality nine years ago, but he has never walked on the path of return."
"Recovered nine years ago? He has never walked on the path of return? Why aren't you guys helping? "
Jiang Xiaofan stared.
The one in the Heaven Palace was the ancestor of the Golden Crow Clan, the owner of the ancient Fusang tree. He was a benevolent emperor who cared about all living beings. Such an emperor was in trouble and couldn't walk on the path of return, yet the old liar and the others didn't help.
"As an emperor, he has the dignity of an emperor. What do you know?"
The old liar despised.
Jiang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly understood.
As an ancient emperor, the Golden Crow ancestor could already walk on the path of return since he had recovered his vitality. Since the other party had never walked on the path of return, he must have his own reasons. If the old liar and the others went to help, it might be with good intentions, but it might not be a good thing.
He thought for a moment and stood up.
"Kid …"
The old liar opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't say anything.
"Forget it."
He muttered.
After leaving the mysterious small world above the Heaven Court, Jiang Xiaofan came to a nine-story tower in the center of the Heaven Court. This was the forbidden area of the Heaven Court, and also the place where the foundation of the Heaven Court was buried. He frowned slightly and hesitated for a moment outside. In the end, he pushed the door open and walked in.
"Ta Ba!"
"Ta Ba!"
"Ta Ba!"
Along the winding staircase, footsteps echoed from both sides. Soon, he reached the ninth floor of the Heaven Court.
The ninth floor of the Heaven Court was covered with dense mysterious runes, flickering with a faint light. These lights became brighter because of Jiang Xiaofan's arrival. This was because the runes here were originally set up by Jiang Xiaofan.
He stretched out his hands and pushed open the sealed stone door.
"Creak."
With a soft sound, the stone door was pushed open, and there was a rich divine light intertwining inside.
In the stone room, a divine tree was suspended in the air. Its branches rustled and danced, emitting a faint divine light. Jiang Xiaofan looked in the direction of his gaze. On the other side of the divine tree, an old figure happened to have his back facing him. He seemed to be a little absent-minded.
Jiang Xiaofan paused for a few breaths, and then walked in.
He did not speak or do anything. He stopped 30 feet away from the old figure. In front of him, the old figure did not seem to sense Jiang Xiaofan's arrival. He was still very silent and did not even move.
Looking at this figure, Jiang Xiaofan did not speak. It seemed very peaceful here.
Soon, an hour passed …
"Was I wrong?"
The old figure asked.
Jiang Xiaofan could sense that the figure in front of him was just a wisp of Divine Soul. This was because he could see that the corpse of the Golden Crow Patriarch was still sitting cross-legged on the altar in front of him, motionless.
The Divine Soul had returned, but it was unwilling to return to the physical body.
He did not speak. He retracted his gaze and looked at the old figure again.
"In ancient times, my hands were stained with the blood of my clansmen, and my clansmen's Great Dao was destroyed. After ancient times, my clan declined. There were only a dozen of my clansmen left, and they were wandering in the starry sky. These … were I wrong … "
The old figure spoke again.
He seemed a little lonely, as if he wanted to verify something.
"Whoosh!"
The ancient Fusang tree swayed and wailed softly, emitting specks of starlight.
Jiang Xiaofan knew what the old figure was talking about. In ancient times, the Ninth Heaven looked for the Golden Crow Ancestor and wanted to cooperate with him to fuse the myriad worlds together. The Golden Crow Ancestor refused, but another emperor in the clan agreed. In the end, due to a disagreement, another person secretly attacked the Golden Crow Ancestor and ended up dying.
After that battle, the Golden Crow Clan had almost completely disappeared. Because of this, the Golden Crow Clan had declined and became a vassal of the Tian Clan. After the ancient times, the Golden Crow Clan had committed all sorts of crimes and was almost completely exterminated ten years ago, leaving behind only a few bloodlines in the world. Now, the Golden Crow Ancestor had taken all of the blame on himself.
Jiang Xiaofan finally knew that this was the reason why the Golden Crow Ancestor was unwilling to return.
This emperor was blaming himself.
"Senior is not wrong."
Jiang Xiaofan shook his head.
Then, he continued, "Technically speaking, the Golden Crow Clan was destroyed by me."
His expression was very calm.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Heavenly Palace returned to calm.
"You are not wrong."
After a long while, the old figure spoke.
The ancient Fusang tree had recorded the battle at that time. Through the ancient Fusang tree, the Golden Crow Ancestor's divine soul naturally knew everything after reuniting. Not only did he know that the Golden Crow Clan was almost wiped out, he also knew that the person who did it was the person standing behind him.
Jiang Xiaofan looked at the Golden Crow Ancestor and said, "Junior is not wrong, and Senior is not wrong either. Why do you blame yourself?"
"If you didn't refuse back then, you might have been able to restrain your clansmen."
The old figure said.
His voice was hoarse and desolate.
Jiang Xiaofan shook his head and said, "If Senior had agreed to the Celestial Race's invitation, the Golden Crow Clan might have become even more powerful, like the sun in the sky. However, the number of creatures that died in this starry sky would have far more than the Golden Crow Clan. Because with you, the Celestial Race would have had an additional weapon, and the Golden Crow Clan would have killed even more people."
Although he was facing the Golden Crow Ancestor, he did not care when he said these words.
After the ancient times, the Golden Crow Clan only had a single Sun Soldier Soul, yet they dared to slaughter all the living beings on the entire planet. If a single Sun Soldier Soul dared to do this, then what would happen if there were two true Emperors? How arrogant and cruel would they be? How many more creatures would die at their hands?
In front of him, the old figure shook his head.
"No, if this old man was here, my clansmen wouldn't have done such a thing."
It said as it shook its head.
Seeing that, Jiang Xiaofan was startled.
Had the Golden Crow Ancestor walked into a dead end? He was suddenly surprised. This was obviously a very simple question, but now, he realized that it was this question that made the Golden Crow Ancestor blame himself. His divine soul was unwilling to step into his body. It felt that if it had agreed to the Celestial Race's invitation back then, it and the other person would not have died. Then, it would have been able to restrain its clansmen's actions, stop them from causing trouble, and stop them from casually killing people.
However, this was an untenable assumption to begin with.
"Since you agreed to the Celestial Race's invitation, didn't you agree to the Celestial Race's suggestion? Since that's the case, then what's the point of restraining them? "
Jiang Xiaofan said.
In front of him, the Golden Crow Ancestor's divine soul trembled slightly.
It repeated Jiang Xiaofan's words, and its voice gradually became clearer, and its soul gradually solidified. At the side, the ancient Fusang tree swayed with a rustling sound, and a faint sound of joy could be heard.
"Buzz!"
Almost at the same time, on the altar, the Golden Crow Ancestor's corpse gradually emitted a light …
