The Against Heaven

Chapter 20: Opening the Sacred Cave (1)

“No discussion needed!” Demon King Lun Ri firmly asserted: “Young Master Li can take anything from the Sacred Cave, provided you can open it.”

“Lun Ri, you are a smart person. Find me when you're ready, I'll go. ” Li Han Tian turned around and left the sky space. Yu He had to once again reluctantly carry her.

After Li Han Tian's departure, an elder inevitably revealed: “Your Majesty, the decision regarding this Sacred Cave feels a little rushed.”

“But of course.” The voice of Demon King Lun Ri came again: “Since our beginning, the Sacred Cave has always been isolated. No one has opened the cave. This is a good opportunity for us, and it is in line with the will of the patriarch. ”

An elder curiously asked: “Your Majesty, what about the Heavenly Guardians? Why haven't we heard of them before? What is a Heavenly Beast or a Longevity Spirit?”

“I'm not sure myself.” Demon King Lun Ri stated: “Our knowledge and writings about the Heavenly Guardians are sorely lacking. Only the patriarch's ancient scrolls mentioned something about them. Unless we are on the verge of collapse, they will not activate by themselves. Only sect masters are allowed to see this scroll.”

Another elder delivered: “But they showed their strength today.”

Demon King Lun Ri replied: “I don't understand either, but if they choose it, they must have their own reasons for doing it.”

“This boy, he's too scary.” The first elder opened his mouth: “According to Yu He, he passed through the Heart Chaos Forest twice with ease. This is totally unthinkable! Now that the Heavenly Guardians have chosen him as well, this world is truly unfair.”

Another elder complained: “This is indeed a worrying fact. Since we were born, we have always focused on developing young talents. Junior Leng is the strongest in terms of our strength, and the princess is number one in terms of raw talent. However, the Heavenly Guardians did not choose them, they chose a mortal child with a mortal physique, a mortal life wheel, and a mortal destiny palace instead.

“From the many things in this world, we cannot understand everything.” In the end, although Demon King Lun Ri also felt tricked, he could only relent.

An elder asked: “Your Majesty, if he can really open the Sacred Cave, do we really give him anything he wants?”

Reluctant elder exclaimed: “That's right. There was a rumor that in the Sacred Cave, there was a high chance that an Immortal Emperor Life Treasure was hiding there. ”

“If he can really open it, then it is the will of heaven.” Lun Ri replied: “According to Elder Jian, none of us in this generation will be able to open the Sacred Cave. Li Han Tian had done many unexpected deeds during his short visit here, so maybe he could open that cave.”

After hearing Elder Jian's name, no one dared to open their mouths. This was because no one within the sect had more power and influence than Elder Jian, including even the sect master.

In the end, Demon King Lun Ri declared: “Send the order, if any disciples reveal what happened today, they will be severely punished. This is the law of iron!”

They did not want outsiders to know too much about their Heavenly Guardians.

****************

After Li Han Tian returned, his group had been moved to a different guest location. This was a place meant to visit the rulers of the Kingdoms and emperors of the Ancient Kingdom, the highest level of hospitality and respect.

This treatment made Nan Huairen and Protector Mo feel afraid of receiving too much love. They understood that because of Li Han Tian they could receive such a warm welcome.

They had many questions to ask Li Han Tian, but they did not know where to start. They were afraid of his mysterious abilities and kept staring at him as if he was an ancient monster, a monster that had never been seen before. One thing Nan Huairen thought of was that the day when Li Han Tian climbed onto the shoulder of the statue, it was the preparation for today.

Protector Mo opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he did not know where to start. He was a quiet person in the first place, so he gave up and just sat back down.

Unlike Protector Mo, Nan Huairen was just waiting for an opportunity to speak. He gathered his courage and stuttered: “That thing, did it work?”

“What item?” The confused turn of Li Han Tian, he had no idea what Nan Huairen was implying.

“You, you know. Things about marriage marry Princess Li.”

“Oh, you are talking about Li Shuangyan.” Li Han Tian chuckled, shook his head, and said: “I didn't ask this because I don't care about it. I can't reach the top if I'm worried about things about women. ”

Li Han Tian opened his large mouth once more, leaving Nan Huairen at a loss for words. Remember that Li Shuangyan was the main descendant of the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect. Not only was she beautiful, she also had a King Physique, a King Life Wheel, and most importantly, a Saint level Fate Palace. In the Great Middle Region, there were many young geniuses who wanted to propose to Li Shuangyan, but in the end, Nan Huairen realized that he should not question Li Han Tian's words.

His eyes turned to the Serpent Punishing Stick instead. This ordinary wooden stick had struck a Heaven Mandate expert to the ground, leaving a deep impression in Nan Huairen's mind.

“If you want to see it, please. ” Li Han Tian noticed the strange look and generously threw the stick at him.

Nan Huairen caught it, held it carefully in his hands, and examined it for a long time. Even Protector Mo couldn't hold himself back anymore and came to have some fun. They both analyzed it together.

However, no matter what they did, the only conclusion they could come to was that it was just an ordinary stick.

Nan Huairen asked: “This is really a wooden stick from a large room, right?”

“True.” Li Han Tian nodded.

Nan Huairen gulped and boldly asked Li Han Tian: “Senior, can I play around with him?”

“Look at your stupid self, do whatever you want to do.” Li Han Tian laughed out loud.

Nan Huairen immediately raised the staff to the sky and started swinging it. However, it did not carry the same strength and elegance as in Li Han Tian's hands.

“Senior, why is there a difference between our swordplay?”

Nan Huairen did not understand how this ordinary staff was so magical when used by Li Han Tian.

Li Han Tian glanced at him and sincerely replied: “Truely believe and it will happen.”

He stopped there, he could not easily explain the mystical truth behind the Punishing Snake technique to others.
