Chapter 126 The Secret Affairs of Heaven Realm

Lyu Liang was dumbfounded. He had imagined all sorts of possibilities but had never thought that he was his own ancestor! After a moment, Lyu Liang knelt down and said agitatedly and respectfully, “Junior descendant Lyu Liang paying my respects to senior ancestor!”

Xuanli Zhen laughed and said, “Rise, my son. Having such an amazing and talented young descendant like you in the Xuanli Clan, I feel glorious in the Heaven Realm!”

Lyu Liang lowered his head in embarrassment when he heard his words. He said softly, “But it’s a pity that I had let down the ancestor’s hopes and had now become the evil person that the entire world wants to kill…”

“Hmph! If only my body could be in two places at once, why would I allow the old people of the Heaven Alliance to issue the spirit arrest order! Others may not believe you but I still do! Let’s not talk about knowing you before you came to Pangu Origin world, let’s talk about now! To keep your promise, you still came back secretly to save people despite the dangerous situation. How could you be that kind of treacherous and fallacious person!” Xuanli Zhen retracted his smile and the cold aura grew even stronger.

Lyu Liang gave a bitter smile and said, “It’s also because I’ve seen little of the world and fell for the evil-doer’s trick. That said, I’m utterly grateful for senior ancestor’s deep trust towards a junior like me!”

Xuanli Zhen nodded and said softly, “My old friend Fengli had already told me briefly about what happened to you at the Chaotic world. I‘ve quite a deep understanding of your character. It’s a pity that my own body and the five doppelgangers are all in the extraterritorial passageway, defending against the Calamity Troop’s attack now. The spirit arrest order was already issued when I heard of the news here. Before finding the traitor or the evidence that could clear your charges, it would not be retracted. Sigh!”

Lyu Liang did not answer. He knew that the ancestor must have come to inform him about something important, so he continued to wait respectfully for his following words.

Indeed, after Xuanli Zhen was melancholy for a while, he continued, “Mingdi said previously that I’ve got a piece of secret news regarding the Heaven Realm to tell you, and you’ll understand what caused you to be in your current plight. Of course, before that, I’ll also tell you everything about the matters that you’ll know sooner or later.”

Then, as Xuanli Zhen narrated, Lyu Liang started to understand information about the Heaven Realm that was high up in the sky, and also the whole story…

“A very long time ago, be it the Pangu Origin world or the Chaotic world, and including the rest of the worlds, they all exist in the vast and endless universe. On those worlds that are similar to ours, lived the same cultivators and ordinary beings. However, besides these, there are also countless special living creatures. Among them, there’s a scary group of element creatures that has no spiritual intelligence and only have the ability to invade and devour. They kept invading and destroying other worlds, we named them as ‘Calamity Troop’.”

“In your knowledge, you may think that the Supreme Master is the highest-ranked cultivator. However, I have to tell you that above them, there are top-class powerful figures such as Almighty Tao, Almighty God, and Almighty Sage! After a few worlds were destroyed one after another, those top-class powerful figures that surpassed the Supreme Master could no longer sit still. Hence, a war, which gathered forces from all places to fight and destroy the Calamity Troop together, had started.”

“These true top-class powerful figures have great powers that you can’t imagine. Generally, they live hidden in the most secretive places in the universe and usually pay no attention to the affairs of the world. However, the appearance of the Calamity Troop caused them to step out. The cultivators of the different groups ranked Almighty Immortal and above, who led the different worlds at the same time, started a chaotic large-scale war.”

“Each of the Calamity Troop’s special life elements had a battle standard that was on par with the Almighty Immortal. The scariest thing was that, even if they were destroyed, they would revive mysteriously after a few years and return to the battlefield again! That war went on for thousands of years and many powerful figures perished in it! At the critical moment, five Almighty Sages helped. They gathered ten pieces of the universe’s most secretive treasures and formed the legendary and most powerful ‘Shique Spell’, hitting the Calamity Troop hard in one blow!”

“From then on, the scale of victory started leaning towards us. Finally, the coalition forces of the worlds defeated the birthplace of the Calamity Troop and destroyed the element body that causes the ability to revive repeatedly. A total of 16 powerful figures ranked Almighty Tao and above exhausted their Divine Souls and sacrificed during this process! Even so, there are still some of the Calamity Troop’s special life elements scattered all over the universe. Although the numbers are small and they can’t revive, it’s difficult to pursue and wipe them out as they’re too scattered. ”

“After this incident, under the suggestion of the Almighty Sages, each of the worlds formed a large-scale cultivator defense alliance to patrol and destroy the Calamity Troop’s remnants. They had a common name, Heaven Alliance.”

“The members of Heaven Alliance are made up of cultivators ranked Tao Master and above. Generation after generation, new members joined as the important task of safeguarding the different worlds is passed down. To this day, the Heaven Alliance has become the top alliance in the universe and the highest leaders are a few of the Almighty Sage powerful figures, who no longer come into the world.”

“At Heaven Alliance’s Pangu Origin world branch, the highest leaders are the Night Dragon Almighty God and three Almighty Taos, who are born locally. 10,000 years ago, I joined the Heaven Alliance after I got promoted to Supreme Master. After that, due to my deeds of merit during the numerous missions, I received recognition from the headquarters and became an Elder of the Heaven Alliance.”

“The Heaven Alliance gives all sorts of missions such as killing the cultivators who are scums, looking for heavenly treasures and of course, the mission that most befits the job – search and destroy the Calamity Troop’s remnants. About 8,000 years ago, the Heaven Alliance replenished a batch of new and aggressive forces. Among it, two extraordinary juniors with astonishing powers were born!”

“Just at that moment, the Heaven Alliance had already set up special operation squads. Among the six squads that were set up during that time, these two geniuses naturally became the squad leaders of two squads. They are Ouyang Hao and Zhu Yu.”

“Each squad had six people including the squad leader and was basically formed by the new forces who just joined the Heaven Alliance. Ouyang Hao was the second squad’s leader and Zhu Yu was the sixth squad’s leader. After numerous missions, it was not a surprise that the squads led by them always completed the missions outstandingly.”

“Zhu Yu and Ouyang Hao were ranked late-stage Heavenly Master then. Even in the entire Heaven Realm, they were like top-class youths with a heroic existence, and so it was hard for them to escape from being compared to others. We only focused on admiring the youths’ shining growth then and neglected to observe their other areas. This became the root cause of tragedy in the future.”

“During that period of time, both of them didn’t have Taoist companions yet. Hence, almost every few days, there would be troops appearing at the front of their camps, asking for marriage. These troops usually represented powerful figures with at least a Supreme Master ranking. Especially Zhu Yu, he was actually favored by Almighty God milord’s only daughter, Fairy Zi Feng. Back then, this was like an enormous surprise that fell from the sky!”

“However, Zhu Yu actually rejected! His reason was simple, he already had someone he liked and she was the one and only in his life. Therefore, he could only apologize to all those ladies who liked him.”

“The second day after Zhu Yu rejected this marriage proposal, he received a letter of challenge from Ouyang Hao. He wanted to have a sparring match with Zhu Yu. During that time, these matches were very common among the Heaven Alliance, and we were also quite supportive of it because such competition was very helpful for real combat. Thus, for the rules of these matches, so long as a lower-ranked person was not challenged by someone of a higher rank, it was against the rules to reject it. However, there was also a rule stating that spells are disallowed during a match and naturally, fighting for one’s life was also disallowed.”

“To a genius like Zhu Yu, admitting defeat was impossible, so naturally he had to accept the challenge. Their match attracted more people than the other matches during that time! As the match caused a huge impact, and an Almighty Sage even came to view the match, thus it was held at God-fighting Hall, which only powerful figures with a Tao Lord ranking can enter.”

“Using the word ‘marvelous’ was not enough to describe how the match gave us a mind-blowing experience. Both of them lived up to their top-class genius aptitudes, the standard of the match was totally a level above the Heavenly Master. It was not overstated to use the standard of middle-stage Supreme Master to describe it.”

“Unlike Ouyang Hao’s solemn state as if he was facing a formidable enemy, Zhu Yu kept a peaceful smile throughout. Wielding the Blood-dripping God-spear, he astonished the gods and spirits, and he suppressed the opponent’s rounds of attack completely. In the end, Ouyang Hao ignored the prohibition and started using a powerful spell that was fatal! Just as the audience was gasping in astonishment, Zhu Yu still kept his smile and turned the situation around, winning the match with only one technique. He even showed mercy, if not, it would have ended with Ouyang Hao’s death. That technique was the Deadly Finger, which you once used before!”

“We’re still unclear of the theory behind this technique, but we only know that it seems to be related to the hint of some kind of Divine Soul. According to what Zhu Yu said, it was his special skill, so naturally, the core secret couldn’t be disseminated. Of course, his reason was legitimate and so no one forced him to say it.”

“After this match, Zhu Yu received the title of Heaven Alliance’s strongest man while Ouyang Hao became the topic of conversation among people due to him breaking the match rules. Just when we thought that Zhu Yu’s soar to success is something to expect from him, what happened next threw all of us into a state of shock.”

“After the match ended, Zhu Yu continued leading his squad to carry out the different missions. Among these missions, they accepted an ordinary mission to patrol the extraterritorial. It should be an easy mission but it became the squad’s trip towards death. At the same time, it became the important turning point of the future Heaven Realm’s chaos, Zhu Yu’s betrayal, and Calamity Troop’s invasion!”
