The Against Heaven

Chapter 26: Gossip Spreading (1)

Li Han Tian smiled brightly after hearing the story from Nan Huairen about the origin of the Heavenly Eagle Peak. The name, in simple terms, was coined by the generals of Immortal Emperor Min Ren's followers to commemorate it.

The Ancient Triangle School at the peak was not too big in size, but its entire building was pitch-black, as if it was made with black steel and had a heavy feeling to it. In reality, no one in the Heaven Ancient Sect knew what the building was made of.

As soon as Li Han Tian and Nan Huairen arrived in front of that black building, Li Han Tian's heart was shaken violently. Many years have passed, but this building still stands firm, its origin surpassing the imagination of the people of this era.

During his moments reminiscing about old memories, his eyes were drawn to a large temple in front of the black building. From his memory, this temple was not here as long as the black building was erected.

In front of the temple, a man of high stature could be found sitting in a cultivating position. One could not guess his age as his long, messy hair and unshaved beard covered his entire face. There were weeds and grass growing around his body, who knew how long the man had been sitting there?

The man's eyes remained closed, if not for his regular and consistent breathing, one would have thought that it was a petrified corpse.

However, the most surprising thing was that his arms and legs were tied by large metal chains. Others might not know, but Li Han Tian realized that this chain was made of Black Spider Consolidated Steel, an extremely rare metal with an uneasy degree of immortality.

What kind of person is worthy of having a chain made of Black Spider steel? Not only that, it seemed like the man before him was willing to go to jail instead of being forced.

Seeing Li Han Tian's attraction towards the man in front of the temple, Nan Huairen softly whispered: “This is the protector of the triangular building, no one knows the background of that person or his origin.”

“Why was he chained there?” Li Han Tian asked as he looked at the man.

Nan Huairen shook his head and replied: “Nobody knows, I'm afraid that no one in the entire sect knows the answer to that question. It was said that he had been chained there for a long time, my master did not even know why he was chained. But some people said that he was a disciple of the sect, yet he had committed a grave offense, and that was why he was chained there.”

Li Han Tian tilted his head and stopped the conversation. He instead walked away to the triangular building with Nan Huairen.

Once they were inside the building, the chained man opened his eyes. The next gaze had an extremely frightening atmosphere, as if he could see through nothingness and tear apart the primordial cosmos. This gaze would make the Royal Nobles and Enlightened Beings tremble in fear. However, he then closed his eyes, it was like nothing had happened before.

From the outside, the triangular building looks small. However, once entered there is a large open area with an area of hundreds of hectares. Three magnificent pagodas were built together to form this triangular formation. Without a doubt, this building was built and made with unparalleled techniques to have its own magical space.

Here, he asked Li Han Tian: “Where does Senior want to go first?”

“Let's start from the Library of Scripture.” Li Han Tian quickly glanced at the three pagodas and made a decision.

There were eight inner disciples protecting the Library of Scripture together with a protector. As soon as Nan Huairen and Li Han Tian showed them the Elder's orders, they were immediately allowed to enter.

Then, an indescribable feeling emerged upon entering the majestic and vast library. Inside, one could not see the end. The incomparable extent of this library was tantamount to the heyday of the Ancient Heaven Sect.

There were some disciples present who were looking for a suitable technique. Nan Huairen was a sociable person, so he went to have a conversation with each of the disciples.

Li Han Tian was different, he was new and the disciples here did not like him from the start. Although the sect had fallen, it was still from the bloodline of an Immortal Emperor, it was not normal for ordinary humans to be accepted into the sect, let alone become a Main Disciple.

The more outrageous thing was that he was considered a trash with a Mortal Physique, the Wheel of Mortal Life, and the Palace of Mortal Fate. The Prime Disciple should be the strongest of all and be respected by his peers. This position was coveted by many in the sect, who had spent their time and talent to contribute to the sect. However, they were not chosen by the Sect Master. This, it should have angered the disciples, to see someone so inappropriate to occupy the position.

Although they did not dare to question the Elder's decision, they would definitely not be courteous to Li Han Tian.

“That person is Li Han Tian.” A disciple looked at Li Han Tian from top to bottom, as if he was looking at a monster. In reality, many people wanted to steal the Ancient Order of the Heaven Sect, even within the sect, but no one had ever succeeded. However, suddenly the old man decided to give the treasure to Li Han Tian, no one could make heads or tails out of this.

“That's it, I heard he invited Old Xi to the brothel for ten days and ten nights.” A student hurriedly added.

A disciple acted as if he knew more about this situation and shook his head: “You were wrong, not just ten days and ten nights. He gave the old man a pair of virgin twins who had just joined a brothel. He bought it for the next three years to serve the old man, this was why the perverted old grandfather agreed to give him the treasure.”

Some stories slowly become more and more augmented. One person even said that Li Han Tian paid the brothel to serve Old Xi for the next ten years, allowing him to do whatever deed he wanted to do. Despite the minor differences, the main points of the topic all revolved around Li Han Tian using underhanded methods to deceive Old Xi in order to obtain the treasure.
