225 Heavenly Dao Mansion
“I’m Heaven Demon from the demon god race. There are some records in my race regarding the Heavenly Dao Mansion and the great calamity. however, it’s been too long, and most of the records left behind by our predecessors have been lost. That’s why I only know little,” Heaven Demon replied softly. He was very polite to Dao Ming and was even a little fearful. He was even more fearful of Dao Ming than of the primordial sage race.
Dao Ming nodded. After knowing the reason, he returned to his normal state and said to everyone, “Everyone, please put aside your differences and go back to rest. Three days later, the five of us will choose a group of outstanding talents from each race to go to Chiyang Heaven.”
“Go to Chiyang Heaven?” Everyone frowned. They did not understand Dao Ming’s intention and looked puzzled.
Upon seeing this, Dao Ming explained patiently, “The spiritual power between Heaven and Earth in the nine Heavens is ten times that of the ten lands. However, the sky-climbing ladder has not been unsealed yet. As such, the people of the ten lands can only go to the nine Heavens through the great guiding array. Only a few factions in the nine Heavens have a great guiding array, and the Heavenly Dao Mansion is one of them. I came here to take a group of geniuses from the ten lands to cultivate in the nine Heavens.”
When everyone heard this, they finally understood Dao Ming’s intention. The eyes of some lit up as all of them wanted to send their juniors to Chiyang Heaven.
“Lord Dao Ming, there’s a youth in my race who’s a once-in-a-century talent. Please send him to Chiyang Heaven!”
“My race also has two talents who only appear once in five hundred years. Please send them to Chiyang Heaven, Lord Dao Ming.”
“Hmph, other than the Elder King from the human race, what other humans can be called talents? Lord Dao Ming, the ten thousand ancient races have many geniuses. Please consider us more.”
“Tsk! You’ve already been defeated, what right do you have to be so proud? It’s only a given that the human race is the best!”
Without waiting for Dao Ming’s reply, the human race Sage and the Sages of the ten thousand ancient races started to quarrel. They quarreled till their faces flushed and their veins bulged. It seemed like they were going to fight again.
“Shut up!” Dao Ming shouted and released his Godly aura, scaring everyone into shutting their mouths and not daring to argue anymore.
“In three days, all talents of the races can come to the center of the ten lands to look for me. I will select twenty people and send them to Chiyang Heaven,” Dao Ming snorted coldly and left immediately, ignoring the crowd.
After Dao Ming left, the group of people was at a loss. They did not know what to do. They wondered if the holy war should continue. As such, all of them looked at Supreme Sage Qin Tian and Supreme Sage Sheng Xuan.
“Now that things have come to this, do the ten thousand ancient races still want to fight?” Supreme Sage Qin Tian was the first to ask.
Sheng Xuan frowned and snorted,” Human Elder King, our primordial emperor’s son will settle the score with you!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Sheng Xuan did not stay any longer. He stepped out of the void and disappeared into the endless starry sky.
Seeing that Sheng Xuan had left, the ten thousand ancient races did not dare to stay any longer. After leaving behind some harsh words, they left one after another.
“I never thought that the war between the two races would end like this. What a joke. Elder King of the human race, the world has been restored and the great era has emerged. Our young master is very willing to work with you. If you are interested, you can come to visit the demon god race when you have time,” Heaven Demon snorted coldly, then disappeared into the depths of the starry sky with the two demon god race’s clansmen.
After Sheng Xuan and Heaven Demon left, only the human race and Sage corpses were left in the starry sky. No one had won this holy war, but all had suffered significant losses. The giant race had lost two Supreme Sages, the skyfall race had lost one, and the human race had also lost one as well. As for the Sage Kings and Sages, both sides had suffered many deaths.
“Since that’s the case, let’s all go back and prepare for the Heavenly Dao Mansion’s test,” Supreme Sage Qin Tian said.
Hearing this, everyone nodded. This matter was no small matter and concerned the future of the race. Therefore, all of them rushed back to their families to select their juniors who were to participate in the test in three days.
After bidding farewell to Supreme Sage Qin Tian, Qin Chen returned to the Taiyi Holy Land. When the Taiyi Holy Land disciples saw the Elder King, they were all excited. They thought that the human race had won the Holy war.
“Hahaha! I knew that the human race would definitely win this battle. Let’s see if the ten thousand ancient races will still dare to be so arrogant in front of the human race in the future.”
“The Elder King has killed three Supreme Sages. He’s invincible. As expected of the Elder King.
“The victory of this battle has really raised the prestige of the human race! It’s really refreshing!”
“Did we really win? Why do I see the Supreme Sages of the ten thousand ancient races returning as well?” Someone cried out in surprise and his eyes were filled with doubt as he was not sure if the humans had won the holy war.
After hearing this, everyone looked at Qin Chen.
Ling Ran walked over with a puzzled expression and asked, “Elder King, did we win?”
“No!” After Qin Chen replied indifferently, there was a dead silence. Everyone stood still, their eyes full of doubt and despair.
“But we didn’t lose either. This time, the world has been restored and the nine Heavens and ten lands have returned to one. The people from Chiyang Heaven’s Heavenly Dao Mansion stopped us. As such, there was no winner in the war between the two races,” Qin Chen spoke again and told everyone what had happened in the starry sky.
Everyone was excited when they learned that the Heavenly Dao Mansion was going to select geniuses to go to Chiyang Heaven.
“The Elder King is the publicly acknowledged genius of the human race. There will definitely be a spot for him among these twenty spots.”
“If the Elder King goes to Chiyang Heaven, what about the Taiyi Holy Land? What if the ten thousand ancient races come to attack again?”
“The human race has so many Supreme Sages. Do we need to fear the ten thousand ancient races? Besides, we can’t stop Elder King from going to Chiyang Heaven, even if we have to disband the Taiyi Holy Land.”
“That’s right. As long as the Elder King is around, the Taiyi Holy Land will be around. We can’t obstruct the Elder King’s path.”
The group of people nodded their heads. Qin Chen hadn’t even had an inkling about what he was going to do, and these people had already made the decision for him, telling him to go to Chiyang Heaven no matter what.
Hearing this, Qin Chen’s face darkened and his eyes became serious. He didn’t want to go to Chiyang Heaven for the time being. After all, there were so many experts there. It would be very dangerous for him to go there with his current cultivation. Before he reached the God realm, he would not leave the ten lands.
Therefore, Qin Chen said in front of everyone, “Holy Lord Ling Ran of the Taiyi Holy Land will be the one to participate in the test of the Heavenly Dao Mansion this time. I don’t plan to go to Chiyang Heaven for the time being. Please watch what you say and don’t spread any rumors.
When everyone heard this, they were all stunned. They looked at Qin Chen with surprise in their eyes. No one had expected that Qin Chen did not plan on going to Chiyang Heaven!
Ling Ran was also puzzled. She said to Qin Chen with a solemn expression, “Elder King, the cultivation speed in Chiyang Heaven is ten times that of the ten lands. You should go.”
