The Against Heaven

Chapter 6: Nine Heavenly Gate Sect (3)

Although he understood the truth behind this technique, his body could not follow his mind.This technique demanded perfection, but it was extremely difficult to achieve.

However, Li Han Tian was unshakable. He continued to practice this martial art, which then became even more refined after each swing. After one night, he had swung his blade over three hundred times and slowly grasped the profound truth. Slowly, each of its blades became more and more accurate.

Although he had innumerable memories and frightening secrets, he understood that if he wanted to completely destroy the Eternal Demon Cave, he would have to increase his efforts tenfold, no, no, a hundred times to achieve his goal. No one understood the Immortal Demon Cave better than him in the current era.

In these three days, Li Han Tian had not left his residence. He imprisoned himself in the inner sanctum to perfect his sword. There was too much uncertainty in life, so he had to be in top shape to deal with any disaster that might come.

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

Three days later, the journey to the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect was about to begin. Only Nan Huairen and the sect protector with the surname Mo came.

The Heaven Sect had a total of six elders, twelve protectors, and thirty-six leaders. To visit a big sect like the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect with only three people, the highest ranked member became a mere protector, there were no words to describe this.

Before departure, Li Han Tian looked at all of them and asked: “Only the three of us?”

Protector Mo, be very frugal with his words. After he heard the question, he simply glanced at Li Han Tian without answering.

Contrary to his master, Nan Huairen was a pleasant person, he coughed in embarrassment and opened his mouth: “First Brother, all the elders are in secluded cultivation, they cannot travel.”

Li Han Tian lifted his lips and coldly declared: “Settle cultivation? They are afraid of losing face. In the end, they believed I had no chance of passing the trial. I didn't pass was a small matter to them, but they were there and losing face would be a big deal, right? ”

Nan Huairen was speechless and just smiled shyly. How could a human hope to pass the Emperor level sect examination? The elders had the same thought. This was why they refused to leave, as the result was already as clear as day.

“Do not worry, Dear Brother.” Nan Huairen maintained his positive attitude: “The Nine Sects of the Heavenly Gate have been keeping a distance from us lately, this is why the elders do not want to leave and create unnecessary conflict.”

“Hmmph, it's only the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect, they can't reach the top. In that era, even if the Nine Saint Virtuous Paragon was still alive, they would still have to submit to the Heaven Ancient Sect.”

Protector Mo could only ignore Li Han Tian's arrogance. He only gave a cold snort, not bothering to say anything.

Nan Huairen was afraid that Li Han Tian would say more outrageous things, so he interjected: “First Brother, this is my master, the protector of the sect.”

“Please take care of me on this trip.” Li Han Tian bowed politely and respectfully proper, not too forced but also not too weak.

Protector Mo glanced at him again and said: “Let's go.”

Finished with his words, he turned around and walked away. Protector Mo was one of the older protectors, so his cultivation was above average. However, he did not know how to interact socially with others. Thus, his position in the sect was quite low compared to the other protectors. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been part of the great expedition that had been doomed from the very beginning.

The upper echelons of the sect knew that this trip would be a comedy drama with Li Han Tian as the main character. If they were unhappy, death might be inevitable, and that was another reason why the six elders avoided it. The other protectors were unwilling to lead this group, so this task ended up falling onto Protector Mo's shoulders.

Protector Mo also thought that no positive results would come out of this trip, which was why his mood had become worse than usual.

The long journey was filled with silence until they reached the grand temple of the Heaven Sect. The grand temple was extremely large and could accommodate ten thousand people. Looking over the entire Great Central Region, it would be difficult to find comparable temples within the other legacies.

The jade-colored temple was extremely ancient. It was built with heavenly stones and crystals. Above was the calligraphy personally carved by Immortal Emperor Min Ren. Those words exuded a bold aura, far out of reach. Every word and phrase seemed to be able to erase existence. From this grand temple, one could appreciate the old power of the dying sect.

“Bang...” When the entrance is opened, a gate can be seen inside. Colored and forged by heavenly crystals, the hulk was covered by empty holes and carvings of Immortal Emperors. An empty hole was there to be filled with fine jade.

The ethereal jade was formed by the natural spiritual power of heaven and earth, the essence of what allowed cultivation. Its main purpose is to operate the gate to traverse long distances. The distance traveled was determined by the quantity and quality of the fine jade.

Unfortunately, the current gate only had a few fine jade within it. Once again, Li Han Tian was saddened to see how far the sect had fallen. In the past, this gate, with its abundance of jade, had brought many troops to distant places in the Nine Worlds. Any location is possible as long as the coordinates are known.

They entered the gate and, in the blink of an eye, turned to a different location.

The Central Great Region was enormous and spanned thousands of miles. There were countless sects spread across fifteen countries. However, there were gigantic monsters like the Ancient Kingdoms and Kingdoms that spanned tens of thousands of miles on their own.

If one wanted to traverse the country by flying, it would take many years unless they were Enlightened Beings or Heavenly Kings. Any Named Hero or Royal Noble would be wise enough not to attempt this feat. Plus, the Central Great Region was only one part of the Mortal Emperor World.

The World of a Mortal Emperor was also known as the Boundary Emperor or the Country of an Emperor and consisted of five different regions. To the north lies the North Great Sea, the south has a Barren Earth, the east forms a Hundred Cities, the west contains the Island of Destruction, and in the middle is the Great Central Region.

“Bang...” Li Han Tian and his comrades arrived at the gate of the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect.

The moment they stepped out, they felt that the natural spirit essence was denser than any place they had ever been to. This was truly a good sect as far as the eyes could see.

The location of the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect spanned tens of thousands of miles. It was filled with mountains and rivers with majestic waterfalls and heavenly trees that could pierce through the sky. There was also a marble palace floating and hiding in the clouds as far as the eye could see. In the deepest recesses, one could find a translucent aura shining brightly across the country. One would believe that the origin of this aura came from a shocking heavenly treasure.

This was the image of a powerful sect. With this atmosphere and location, it was no wonder why it could rule a country. In comparison, the Ancient Heaven Sect was similar to a poor old man at the end of his life.

“I saw that it was Brother Mo, long time no see.” As the three of them left the gate, an old man was seen leading his students to a welcoming party.

The man was the section leader in their sect. Her last name was Fu, the owner of a cold and stoic face. His eyes contained a powerful gaze and his body emitted a radiant aura. His natural disposition was one that could instill fear in weaker souls.

Although he was only a section leader, he possessed the strength of a Named Hero as evidenced by the aura emanating from his body. In the Heaven Sect, only elders were qualified for the title of Named Hero.

“Is this your main student?”

“That's right, Li Han Tian is the main disciple of my sect.” Protector Mo smiled bitterly. Li Han Tian's talent and constitution were nothing to be proud of.

“Try, this is just a friendly competition, Brother Mo doesn't have to worry about that. ” Leader Fu showed a gentle smile.

Li Han Tian smiled back at Leader Fu and elegantly expressed his feelings: “Only trial, it could not reach its peak.”

Leader Fu ignored Li Han Tian's sly comments and instead spoke to Protector Mo: “Sister Mo, please follow me.”

In his mind, the Named Hero arguing with a junior like Li Han Tian was extremely inappropriate for a man with his status.

Protector Mo on the other hand, angrily looked at Li Han Tian.
