The Against Heaven

Chapter 25: The Doubts of the Sect Elders

Right now, not only the First Elder, but the rest were also trying to read Li Han Tian's mind. If killing Xu Hui could be attributed to luck, then it was also due to his arrogance that Li Han Tian could sneak attack him. Fate is unpredictable, and a person can sometimes get lucky.

However, the Heart Chaos Forest could not be lucky like that. The Six Elders realized that for the past hundred thousand years, no one from the younger generation had managed to pass through all levels, unless that person was a saint level.

Pressed by the gaze of the Six Elders, Protector Mo and Nan Huairen broke out in cold sweat for Li Han Tian.

“Dear Elder, the Forest of Heart Chaos is meant as a way to test the minds of those who enter. It could not be considered a test of cultivation strength. As long as one's spiritual will is sufficient, then he can traverse the entire forest, it has nothing to do with one's cultivation.” Li Han Tian responded to the First Elder's question.

“Hmmmph, your fan spiritual resolve is stronger than Royal Noble?” Elder Xiong sadly exclaimed.

Li Han Tian furrowed his brows, and said: “Older, spiritual power has nothing to do with cultivation strength. Achieving high cultivation was not the same as a strong will. Over the centuries, many Enlightened Beings and Heavenly Kings, due to their unstable resolve, have experienced miserable deaths due to the Qi Deviation."

“This thing...who does not know how high the sky or the breadth of the earth is? People like you dare to criticize Enlightened Beings and Heavenly Kings?” Elder Xiong silently spoke.

Li Han Tian impatiently said: “I am only telling the truth. If the Elders want to continue thinking that I am lying, then you guys can go to the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect and prove the truth!

Seeing Li Han Tian lose his temper, Elder Xiong rolled his eyes and it felt like a storm was about to break out, but the First Elder coughed and interjected: “We will let this go, we will let this go, how about your wedding to Princess Li?”

Although they were dissatisfied with her explanation of Xu Hui and the Chaos Heart Forest, the most important thing was her marriage. The Ancient Heaven Sect and the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect must exist in unity! The Ancient Heaven Sect needed strong support like the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect.

“This matter you guys should ask the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect, it is not my decision.” Li Han Tian no longer wanted to continue this conversation, and he replied: “Talk ends here!”

The First Elder had no choice but to give up. They could not force Li Shuangyan to marry Li Han Tian, they did not have the strength to negotiate with the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect.

The First Elder continued: “You have done a great deed for this sect. According to our previous agreement, anything promised will be given to you .. “

“Brother Gu ..” Elder Xiong wanted to interrupt, but the First Elder gently gestured with his sleeve, telling Elder Xiong to be quiet.

The First Elder looked at Li Han Tian and continued: “First, once you reach the Physique Accumulation stage, we will give you a King Class medicinal paste. Secondly, for the Physique technique, the Life Wheel, and the Fate Palace, you can choose one cultivation method for each of the three. Of course, you can also choose different techniques, but you cannot choose more than three manuals. Are you satisfied with this?”

Li Han Tian nodded. “This is fine! But I still have one more request. ”

First Elder replied: “You can, let us know.”

“I need a weapon, so I want to choose the Treasure of Life or True Treasure!” Li Han Tian replied.

First Elder agrees: “Good, from the Treasure of Life, True Treasure, and the Treasure of the Wheel of Life under the third floor, you can choose one of them.”

“Thank you Elder.” Li Han Tian respectfully cupped his hands, and then turned to leave.

“Huairen, you go with Li Han Tian!” The First Elder ordered Nan Huairen after Li Han Tian left.

After Li Han Tian's departure, Elder Xiong stated: “Brother Gu, I'm afraid this child is troubled. He might be a spy sent from the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect.”

“How can you say it's Cao Xiong's brother?” Different elders slowly shook his head and disagreed: “Personally, I don't think that's the case. The current Nine Heavenly Gate Sect is many times stronger than us. They rule the Old Cow country and are already giant monsters, why do they need to have spies in our sect?”

“Brother Sun speaks with reason.” An Elder agrees: “Secte Nine Heavenly Gate need not be sneaky towards us.”

“That's uncertain, maybe the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect wants our Emperor's Merit Law or even our Heaven's Will Merit Law.” Elder Xiong spoke with a serious attitude.

Upon hearing these words, the rest of the five Elders stared at each other.

“I don't think it's necessary.” Fourth Elder Sun shook his head and said: “Li Han Tian has the Ancient Command of the Heaven Sect. If he wants our Emperor Merit Law, he just needs to open his mouth and we can't say no. Take a step back, if the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect really wants our Emperor Merit Law, who here can stop Demon King Lun Ri in our sect?”

In the end, Elder Xiong calmly stated: “Brother Gu, I feel we should not be rash, precautions are needed.”

“This should be reported to Sect Master!” The First Elder officially announced, he did not show his feelings on the topic.

“Serah!” Elder Xiong pouted slightly, his voice containing an unpleasant opinion about Sect Master.

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

“The Elders thought you were a spy from the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect.” After leaving the room, Nan Huairen whispered to Li Han Tian. He was a sharp person, his best discipline was to predict the minds of others, of course, he knew what the Six Elders were thinking.

“They can think of anything they want.” Li Han Tian just smiled. The weakening of the Ancient Heaven Sect was not without reason. Even though they were all Elders, their cultivation could not be higher than Royal Noble. More importantly, they cannot work independently and make decisive decisions.

On this topic, Li Han Tian asked: “What about Elder Xiong?”

That day, when he wanted to become the Prime Disciple, Elder Xiong supported him. However, his behavior today was in stark contrast to the past.

“Be careful with Elder Xiong.” Nan Huairen looked left and right, then he whispered: “Second Elder Cao Xiong is competing for the position of Sect Master with the current Sect Master, but he failed. Later on, he wanted his disciple, Leng Shizhi to become the Prime Disciple, but he was rejected by the Sect Master. Regarding the position of Sect Master, he had always wanted it. Even if he could not rise to that position, he hoped that his disciple could become the Sect Master. Plus, Cao Xiong's support is guest lord.”

“I understand. If I am a piece of trash, then I cannot become a Sect Master, even if I am a Main Disciple. But if I have a relationship with Li Shuangyan, then that is another matter. Li Han Tian understood the opposite intent of Elder Xiong.

Nan Huairen nodded his head and added: “Older Xiong has always paid attention to the position of Sect Master, he is afraid that Sect Master will accept the genius Prime Disciple. Since the Main Disciple's seat was always empty, he had discussed with the Elders many times about promoting Leng Shizhi. However the Sect Master always refused.”

“Where is Sect Master?” Li Han Tian felt strange after he joined the sect, he had never met the Sect Master, Su Yonghuang.

Nan Huairen did not know the answer: “Master Sect has never lived within a sect. He is always cultivating outside, in fact I only met him a few times.”

Nan Huairen started to whisper as he looked at the people nearby: “There are rumors within the sect, Sect Master was forced away by Elders. No one knows in detail what happened. In short, when the Sect Master left the sect, he also brought some Protectors and Leaders.”

Li Han Tian stroked his chin, and guessed: “From here, there seems to be a lot of internal battles within the Ancient Heaven Sect. It seems that the current situation of the sect is much more complicated than I thought before. ”

“There are four factions.” Nan Huairen replied: “There are a number of Protectors and Leaders supporting the Sect Master. Some Leaders were with Elder Xiong, and they hoped Elder Xiong would become the Sect Master. The other group belonged to the First Elder while the remaining four Elders were always neutral. ”

“First Elder also wants to become Sect Master?” Li Han Tian asked.

Nan Huairen shook his head: “Nobody knows what the First Elder is thinking. He did not support Sect Master completely, but he also never competed for the role. However, his influence was great in the sect. He controlled the disciplinary squads in the sect and was extremely strict. So, most disciples are afraid of him.”

From Nan Huairen's words, Li Han Tian understood the current situation of the sect. Thinking about it, Li Han Tian lightly chuckled and did not talk about it anymore.

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

The Heavenly Eagle Peak was an important location of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect. Some even said that it was a forbidden land. Without the permission of the Sect Master or Elders, no disciple could enter the peak.

Also, the Heavenly Eagle Peak was the highest mountain in all sects. Above it was an old triangular building. This was where all the manuals, techniques, life treasures, gems, metals, and everything precious from the sect were located.

The mountain was heavily fortified, there were patrols every three steps as well as defensive posts every five; not even mosquitoes would be able to pass through it. The entire peak was also protected by the elite disciples and the two rotating sect Elders.

To the Ancient Heaven Sect, the Peak Heavenly Eagle was too important. The most precious things of the sect were all located at this peak.

Moreover, there was also a legend about the Heavenly Eagle Peak. It is said that before the ascension of Immortal Emperor Min Ren, he was blessed by the will of heaven. The sky sent him a godly eagle from the sky. It arrived at the peak of this peak, and Immortal Emperor Min Ren was taught by this eagle. This was why the Ancient Heaven Sect was located on this mountain.
