My Celestial Ascension Chapter 999: The Teleportation Device
Previously on My Celestial Ascension...
A couple of moments later, Anna Grace lifted the Goddess of Light and Justice using her Qi Manifestation and brought her along.
They hovered above the city and examined the entire area with their Divine Sense.
Suddenly, Long Yuyan sighed softly and said, "Yuan, I noticed that the library and the mansion have been destroyed by these lowly mortals. They do not know what they have destroyed, nor do they understand its value."
"The mansion was not just a place to live; it was a symbol of status for the successor of the sect. And as for the library, it was filled with millions of years of knowledge, valuable techniques, and pill formulas."
"And now, everything is gone... as if it never existed. And it was replaced by those buildings... this is simply unacceptable!" Long Yuyan became angrier as she observed the city below.
Tens of thousands of years ago, when the Earth Immortal Sect was one of the most influential sects of that era, the floating island was one of the most beautiful places in the entire sect.
It had every facility, including a grand mansion for the successor to live in. There was also a special cultivation cave for closed-door cultivation, with a large supply of Spiritual Energy.
Sect disciples would dream of cultivating in the cave to increase their cultivation in the shortest amount of time and with the least effort.
However, only the privileged disciples would ever get the chance to cultivate inside the cave. Only those with the most exceptional talent would get such an opportunity, while the rest could only dream of entering.
Now, those things no longer exist. The so-called gods had erased every trace of them from the floating island, claiming this land as their own.
"It’s a pity that this place turned into this... I feel sad." Long Yuyan muttered in a low voice.
"It’s indeed a pity... However, we know that there is one place that is still untouched by anyone. We may learn what happened to this place—to this world—in there." Yuan spoke, reminding her about the mountains surrounded by powerful array formations.
"You’re right," She nodded and let out a soft smile.
She then released a soft sigh. "It was all in the past now... the world has changed. The Earth Immortal Sect no longer exists. Lamenting over it would do us no good."
A few seconds later, Long Yuyan searched the entire city with her Divine Sense, and suddenly, she opened her eyes.
"There, I can sense the faint hum of the teleportation device underneath that tall building." Long Yuyan pointed her finger at the massive building at the center of the city.
Yuan looked at the building. It was a majestic structure and the largest building in the city. It was definitely the palace where the God King resided.
"To think the device we’ve been searching for is buried under a building... this is truly fascinating," Yuan muttered with a smile.
"Shall I reduce that building to a pile of ash?" Fang Xiaoyan spoke, her eyes glowing with a crimson light for a split second.
"Let me have a look to see if there is something valuable in the building before you do that," Yuan replied and immediately used his Divine Sense on the building.
A couple of seconds later, he opened his eyes and spoke, "I found a large amount of good coins and many cultivation manuals inside... He doesn’t seem to know their worth, since he piled them up in a corner like garbage."
"How about you three go and retrieve them?" He said, looking at Julie, Ava, and Leah.
"Well, sure, I don’t mind," Julie replied, a slight hesitation in her voice.
Yuan then looked at the other two and asked, "What about you two?"
"We don’t mind as well," Leah replied with a soft smile, while Ava nodded her head.
"Great. Then we will wait for you here." Yuan said with a smile.
Julie, Ava, and Leah immediately went to collect all the valuables from the palace. They were excited to see what they would find in the palace’s treasury.
Meanwhile, the Goddess of Light and Justice had a look of disbelief on her face. Everything she heard Yuan discussing with his companions sounded very absurd to her.
’Just what kind of history does this place have, and what is their connection to this place?’
’That woman with the horns—Long Yuyan, what an unusual name. She said it was an important place for the Earth Immortal Sect... is it some kind of organization that existed in the past?’ She pondered inwardly.
Her mind raced as she began to remember the moment when they first arrived here so long ago. She still vividly remembered it even now.
’And how long ago was it? When we first arrived here, it was a completely abandoned place. Aside from the strange old buildings and ancient books and scriptures, there was nothing useful here.’
’And this woman said that she was the guardian of that ancient organization... how is that even possible?’ Her mind was in complete chaos as she pondered over it.
A couple of moments later, Julie, Ava, and Leah returned from the palace with beaming smiles on their faces.
"You’re right about it, baby. We found a huge amount of gold coins inside and a lot of old cultivation techniques as well." Julie said as she handed a spatial ring to Yuan.
"And not just that, but we also found some Spirit Weapons. Two of them are Heaven Grade treasures!" Leah added with an excited look on her face.
Yuan quickly examined the spatial ring before putting it inside his system storage, then looked at the three with a smile.
"You all did an excellent job, my dears. We had a great harvest today."
He then turned to Fang Xiaoyan and said, "My dear, it’s your turn to do your job. Reduce that palace to ashes and reveal what’s underneath it."
"Certainly, dear. Give me a few moments, and it will be reduced to nothing." Fang Xiaoyan said with a proud grin on her face as her hair released sparks of flame.
She then descended toward the palace, and a small ball of fire appeared on her palm. It was small but radiated heat comparable to that of a massive volcano.
The moment the ball of fire touched the palace, it began devouring the structure rapidly, spreading in all directions.
And in just a couple of minutes, the entire palace was reduced to ashes, revealing what lay beneath it.
A massive circle covered in numerous formations was revealed. It was made from a strange material that Yuan had never seen before.
"Lady Yuyan, is this in usable condition? Would you mind checking it?" Yuan said to Long Yuyan. Since he had very little understanding of formations, it was better to let the expert handle it.
"Certainly, give me a moment," Long Yuyan nodded and descended toward the platform.
