The Against Heaven

Chapter 1: Return of the Legend

Li Han Tian crawled to the top of the cliff with a cold night wind blowing fiercely on his body. His body was currently soaked in sweat. Li Han Tian was thirteen years old, a little boy like Li Han Tian used all his strength to climb these mountains the scenery in the sky tonight would provide a terrifying sensation to anyone.

Although the night was silent, Li Han Tian's mind was being tormented by fear.

Li Han Tian came from a poor family, his parents had already died by the time he was seven years old.

Today, he has completed his daily tasks. However, as dawn broke, he realized that he was losing his main sheep. He rushed back to the mountains to look for her. After exploring the entire mountain range, he was still unable to find even this shadow of a sheep.

Thinking about the lost sheep and its evil owner Zhang Liyu, Li Han Tian worried for the worst in his heart.

At this moment, the sound of Zhang Liyu's whip echoed in Li Han Tian's ears. If Li Han Tian really lost his sheep, then Zhang Liyu would definitely beat him to death.

Finally what Li Han Tian feared happened, Zhang Liyu came to the place in the residence and inquired about his sheep. Finally Li Han Tian told him everything without anything covered up.

Emotional Zhang Liyu ordered his guards to punish Li Han Tian.

“Aaaaaaahhhhh..!”

The quiet night was interrupted by the sad screams of the pitiful boy

Suddenly, the scream ended.

Li Han Tian, who was floating in the river, was suddenly pulled by someone.

By the time Li Han Tian was thrown into the river, his life was already unsaved, but suddenly a thread of soul entered Li Han Tian's nearly frozen body.

“Aaa!”

As he was dragged out, Li Han Tian suddenly woke up. His first reaction was to jump because he was unfamiliar with the body. He was unable to find his footing, he almost fell to the ground.

“Ah, my body!” Looking down and seeing how his body was, Li Han Tian was overjoyed as well as scared. Even after thousands of struggles against the unrelenting waves and wind, Li Han Tian still could not contain his emotions after regaining his new body.

Taking a deep breath, he raised his head and discovered that an old man was in front of him.

“Hehehe, it is this old man who saved you from the impending doom.” The old man laughed out loud in a humiliating manner, revealing his three remaining yellow teeth. His attitude made others feel that his smile was very evil.

Above the river, Li Han Tian's eyes became increasingly cold and his aura exceeded anyone that a thirteen-year-old child could not possibly emit.

Li Han Tian took a deep breath and then looked at the old man. After a while, he finally asked: “How should I call you, old man?”

“Secte of Heaven, Old Xi” The old man replied with his mouth agape, still exposing his three golden teeth while smiling and spitting everywhere.

“ Heaven” Sect Li Han Tian whispered softly. This name made him recall the sealed memories in his mind. These memories came from when his soul was still imprisoned.

Li Han Tian regained his composure and asked back to the old man “Old Xi, who now bears the Will of Heaven?”

The old man was surprised when he asked “How do you know the Will of Heaven? Currently, no one in this era was capable of shouldering the Will of Heaven. ”

“Let's go.” With a dejected expression, Li Han Tian turned around and started walking away. He did not care whether Old Xi followed him or not. After experiencing pseudo-immortality, he knew exactly what he had to do.

The Heaven Protective Palace was an extremely powerful bloodline in the present. Back in the era when the Black Dragon King became a peerless master still alive, no one could match him in the Nine Worlds. He was respected for three generations!

Even though he had been lost for thirty thousand years, the Heaven Protective Palace still stood arrogantly in this region.

At this moment, a boy of about thirteen years old and a lowly old man with three golden teeth were standing outside the Heaven Protective Palace.

Just outside the outer limits of the palace city, Li Han Tian burned the ceremonial money while whispering “Little Black Dragon, you need not worry, you have helped me regain my body, my life. One day, I will destroy the evil land to take revenge for you."

After the ceremony was over, Li Han Tian stared at the Heaven Protective Palace in front of him. The scenery was still the same, but the people were no longer there, everything had become foreign. He reminisced about the past with the Little Black Dragon, the memories of them building this city from the ground up through their efforts were still fresh in his mind.

Unfortunately, after thirty thousand years, not many remembered the figure of Li Han Tian hiding behind the curtains.

“Heh, let's go back to the Heaven Sect.” At this moment, the old man glanced at Li Han Tian and declared his goal while revealing his three sparkling golden teeth.

“Let's go.” Li Han Tian calmly nodded his head. No matter how famous or mysterious this old man was, his origin could not shock Li Han Tian. Li Han Tian had endured countless hardships and his soul had been trapped for millions of years. Era after era, he walked together shoulder to shoulder with an Immortal Emperor and befriended an Alchemy God, so what could actually surprise him?

As they left, a very graceful and beautiful girl stepped out of the palace. She resembled an angel from heaven, another world goddess. As he stepped out, he accidentally saw the remnants of the fire from the ceremony as well as some mysterious symbols beside him.

After seeing these symbols, his expression changed greatly: “Who has just held a ceremony here?”

The girl issued her order: “Pursue and find them immediately.”

“Your Majesty should go to Mount Dewa now.” The old servant hesitantly whimpered.

The goddess gently shouted: “Find them!” His body then disappeared as he flew through space to find the two.

In the end, he was unable to find them. He sadly returned to the palace after his search. The symbol beside the fire remained in his head. These symbols did not appear for a long time, so why did they appear on the periphery after tens of thousands of years? Are they friends or enemies?

A faithful old servant reported: “Your Highness, we can not find those who burned the ceremony money.”

The goddess ordered with a serious attitude: “Command everyone to remember that if any news of the two men appeared, immediately report back to me.”

The waiter was very surprised to hear this. With the current strength of the Heaven Protective Palace and the reputation of their goddess, it would be rare for him to show such a serious expression.

The waiter asked: “Then what about the trip to Mount Dewa..?”

“Cancel!” The goddess exclaimed: “I have to read the ancient books that the ancestors left behind. Something strange is going on.”

He then immediately went to the deepest part of the forbidden ground in the Heaven Protective Palace.

The Heaven Sect lives in the country of the Heavenly Jewel Kingdom. This sect was an Immortal Emperor lineage with a long history. At the beginning of the Emperors Era, Immortal Emperor Min Ren proudly stood at the peak and established a sect, naming it the Heaven Sect.

Unfortunately, after millions of years the sect was unable to stand the test of time and its unforgiving nature. The sect was no longer at the rank of Immortal Emperor and could no longer rule the land like in the past. No matter how hard he tried, it could not regain their ancient glory or prevent their unrelenting and slow death.

“Older, I have bad news. A young boy said that he wants us to accept him as the main disciple.” A disciple hurriedly reported to the first elder of the Heaven Sect when this elder stepped out.

“Kick him from the mountain!” Without even glancing at his disciple, the first elder continued: “Why did you even report something so ridiculous?”

A human who wanted to become the main disciple of their sect? What joke. A main disciple was the same as a sect master's protege, who had the highest chance of becoming a future sect master. Of course, when the sect head was not present, the first elder could still deal with the matter personally.

The disciple stuttered: “But, but he was recommended by Old Xi.”

Raising his eyebrows, the first elder sadly repeated: “ Old Xi? Was he bribed with booze? Is that why he recommended mortal humans? ”

Old Xi belonged to a sect, but the sect was unwilling to recognize the old man.

Although his name sounded very heroic, this old man had caused the sect to lose face.

Old Devil has three qualities “baik” to him. He is very good at spending money, lying and drinking wine. This was why they called him Devil Xi.

He had not developed any methods until the end, but he had a very shocking background within the sect. Rumor had it that he was the illegitimate son of the previous sect master. This was why, when the last sect master died, he asked the current sect master to take care of Old Xi.

However, there was another rumor stating that Old Devil was the benefactor of the sect master two generations ago. Since the previous sect master was deeply indebted to this person, he had no choice but to accept this trash and reluctantly take care of Old Xi. Before the previous sect master died, he also asked the current sect master to take care of Old Xi.

No matter who his father was, his entire sect and upper echelons had no love for the old man. They hated unpleasant words about Old Xi's character and did not care about the rumors in the world.

From the elders to the lowest ranked disciples, the entire sect did not welcome this old man without any cultivation.

The first elder shouted in annoyance: “So what if it was Old Xi's recommendation? Kick that little boy off the mountain!” His morning and good mood had been marred by this event.

“But, but he said he has the Ancient Command of the Heaven Sect from Old Xi.” The student stuttered once more out of fear.

“Ancient Order of Heaven Sect?!” Upon hearing these words, the expression of the first elder darkened. After quietly pondering the situation, he quickly ordered: “Gather all the elders and tell the child to wait outside the big room.”

The Heaven Sect had a total of six elders. After hearing the four words “Ancient Rule of Heaven” Sect, the other five elders quickly came to the meeting.

The sect's founder was Immortal Emperor Min Ren, the one who had left behind three of these orders. Two had been reclaimed by the sect, but the third fell into Old Xi's hands.

Outside of the request from the previous sect master to take care of Old Xi, the second reason why the elders were helpless against him was because he had the final command.

The order represented Immortal Emperor Min Ren, the holder of which could request anything from the Heaven Sect.

Sitting in the great hall of the Heaven Sect while staring at the elusive statue that was covered in golden smoke, Li Han Tian could not help but recall many stories from the past.

The statue of Immortal Emperor Min Ren stood firmly at the highest point of this location. Even though many years had passed, the statue still carried an ancient aura that seemed to be able to break through the nine heavens. The one looking could not help but want to worship this statue, as if the emperor was actually in front of them.

Li Han Tian did not know how to describe his current feelings as he stared at the statue. The emperor had left, but Li Han Tian was still alive and would forever be so. Although he had achieved his goal and regained his body, they had all disappeared in the river of time for good.
