Chen Tian and Qing Yao also stood in the cave. Soon, a figure rushed towards the cave and instantly appeared before it. The young man had a righteous aura, wore a blue robe, and had handsome features with a beard and black, flowing short hair. This person was Sheng Tianyi, the current sect master of the Holy Cloud Sect.
As Sheng Tianyi entered the cave and was about to kneel and speak, he was instantly stunned. He then roared, "Who are you? How did you get here? Where is the Ancestor?"
He then looked at the coffin behind everyone and, upon discovering it was opened, became even more enraged. "Good! Good! You dared to harm the Ancestor. You will not leave here alive today!"
Just as he was about to say something, Sheng Yuan spoke, "Do not be disrespectful. The two before you are the Empress and the Divine Sovereign. Kneel!"
An overwhelming pressure descended, and Sheng Tianyi immediately knelt. Recognizing the familiar aura and tone, Sheng Tianyi rubbed his eyes as if he had seen a ghost. He then exclaimed, "My heavens, I've encountered ghosts."
He then fainted. Sheng Yuan and the others looked at each other. Sheng Yuan then said, "How can this generation's sect master be so incompetent!"
"But speaking of which, his realm is indeed the highest among all generations, and his aptitude is also good. It seems the previous generation trained him well."
"Wake him up! Otherwise, why did we call him here? To sleep?"
Then, a few of them slowly exhaled, saying, "Stop sleeping. Get up quickly. Aren't you ashamed!"
Sheng Tianyi instantly recovered and looked at the three young men before him. "Are you the Ancestors? How did you become young again?"
"Alas! It's a long story. This is not something you can know. Immediately arrange suitable accommodation for these two disciples. Remember, they are our newly accepted disciples. If anything happens to them, you will be held responsible. Do you understand?"
Sheng Yuan's words were solemn and authoritative. Sheng Tianyi solemnly replied, "Rest assured, Ancestors. Since they are your disciples, they deserve the best treatment. I will arrange it immediately."
Chen Tian and Qing Yao said nothing. Their strength was in the process of recovery, and the better the conditions, the faster they would recover. Naturally, they would not refuse. As for trouble, one was an Empress and the other a Divine Sovereign, were they afraid?
Before leaving, Chen Tian transmitted a message to the three of them, "Help me keep an eye out for information about the Jade Water Spirit Heart Grass."
The three nodded in unison. After Chen Tian and the others left, the three seemed to have been liberated and collapsed onto the ground.
"My heavens, the Divine Sovereign and the Empress have both been reborn, and they are within our Holy Cloud Sect."
"It's too terrifying. The pressure at the beginning made me feel like I was about to be killed. Fortunately, the Divine Sovereign showed mercy."
"Are the two of them related? Now that our bodies and lifespans have been extended with the Divine Sovereign's help, we can go wild for another four thousand years."
"Agreed! My suggestion is that they continue, hehehe...!"
"Alright! Our reputations once resounded throughout the entire immortal realm. Now that we're probably forgotten, it's time to re-enter the world."
"Let's go! Let's go out and have some fun!"
Then, the three of them closed their coffins and placed seals on them to prevent anyone from discovering that they were empty. Their figures then disappeared.
Chen Tian absolutely did not anticipate that extending the lifespans of these three old fellows would lead to what consequences. Chen Tian would regret it someday. If only he hadn't forged this karma so early.
Chen Tian and Qing Yao, led by Sheng Tianyi, headed towards the core area of the Holy Cloud Sect. The disciples here were all core disciples with powerful realms and strength. Upon seeing the sect master arrive, they bowed respectfully, but the sect master still maintained his dignity and acted the part in front of Chen Tian.
Soon, Chen Tian and Qing Yao arrived outside a palace. There were no disciples around. Sheng Tianyi said obsequiously, "Your Excellencies, this is the cultivation area for the Holy Son. It has been tidied up and you may now enter and cultivate. What do you think?"
Qing Yao spoke, "The spiritual energy concentration and purity are excellent. The palace materials are also made of top-grade materials. And this pond in the back is Dragon Transformation Pond water, right? Although diluted, its power is still quite strong."
"Indeed. May I know your name?"
Sheng Tianyi did not know Chen Tian and Qing Yao's past identities. However, even as disciples of the Ancestor, he had to be respectful, lest he disrespect the founding Ancestor.
Chen Tian ignored him. Then, Qing Yao shot a beam of light, and instantly, countless scenes appeared in Sheng Tianyi's mind. Qing Yao said, "Call us by our names in front of others, but privately, you may address us as such."
"Yes, yes, Empress!"
My heavens! Sheng Tianyi's heart was filled with immense excitement and fear. This young girl before him was actually a reincarnation of an Empress, and the reincarnation of *that* Empress! If he offended her in the slightest, he wouldn't even know how he died.
"Perhaps they are not disciples of the Ancestor at all, but merely that the Ancestor fears their identities and dare not reveal too much."
Sheng Tianyi analyzed it, which seemed reasonable. Then, Qing Yao said to Chen Tian, "Chen Tian, this place is not bad. Aren't you going to take a look?"
Chen Tian's lips curved into a smile. "The ownership of this place hasn't been decided yet. Look, trouble is coming from over there."
Chen Tian then looked to the east, and a young man appeared before the three of them in a furious manner. Sheng Tianyi's head reeled. My heavens, how could he have forgotten this little ancestor!
It's over, it's over, what should I do? Save me!
The young man wore a white robe with a character "Holy" imprinted on it. The young man walked up to the sect master and said slowly, "Sect Master, why was my residence barred and I was driven out? This has never happened to any Holy Son in history. Sect Master, I demand an explanation."
"This, this, this...!"
Sheng Tianyi stammered. The Holy Son was decided by the high-ranking officials of the Holy Cloud Sect. His status was equal to that of the sect master. Even Sheng Tianyi dared not provoke him lightly, as the Holy Son was supported by the core elders and power of the Holy Cloud Sect. If a conflict arose, it would be difficult for him, the sect master.
Sheng Tianyi said, "That Holy Son's palace was given up by the Ancestor, so you cannot enter or cultivate. I will find you another place later, alright!"
"I refuse. The Holy Son's palace is the Holy Son's territory. Why? Isn't this the rule of all generations?" Wang Yang roared. Sheng Tianyi was about to speak when Chen Tian's voice rang out, "I want to reside in this Holy Son's palace. Do you have any objections?"
Wang Yang turned to look at Chen Tian and could sense his realm. He then said, "Sect Master, is this true? When did a good-for-nothing gain the right to cultivate in the Holy Son's palace?"
"Presumptuous! Wang Yang, these are the Ancestor's disciples. Do not be rude!"
Sheng Tianyi was furious when he heard the Holy Son completely disregard Chen Tian and Qing Yao. "Don't you know who is standing before you! I don't dare to provoke them, how dare you!"
"That...!"
Sheng Tianyi was about to say something when Chen Tian stopped him with a gesture. He then said, "Then how do you propose we decide the ownership of this Holy Son's palace?"
"We duel. I will suppress my realm to the spiritual power level, and you two will attack me together. As long as you can defeat me, I will admit you are qualified to reside in the Holy Son's palace and will have no complaints."
Wang Yang himself dared not have any complaints. Even if he did, what could he do? Complain to the Ancestor? Wouldn't that be courting death? He just needed to vent his anger.
Chen Tian said, "Alright, but you don't need to suppress your realm. Breaking through to the ninth level of the Void God Realm at twenty-eight years old is already considered a prodigy of the sacred land. Qing Yao, you play with him."
Qing Yao nodded and walked in front of Chen Tian. She then said, "As long as you can defeat me with your full strength, we will not reside in the Holy Son's palace, how about that?"
Sheng Tianyi, standing beside them, was stunned. What kind of status did Chen Tian have to be able to command this Empress? It was terrifying!
