School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master Chapter 2221 - 2307: Xuan Tianji’s Voice Transmission
Previously on School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master...
"Little Feng is still alive?" The True Dragon’s eyes flashed with joy.
"Little Feng? Are you referring to the old ancestor of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan? Of course, she’s alive and well, but she rarely walks within the Ancient Holy Mountain now."
The little rascal seemed to know these things quite well.
"An illusion realm, what kind of illusion realm is it that even the Sacred Demon Clan together couldn’t open it, requiring us to perform Dragon Phoenix Unification, how strange."
The massive head of the True Dragon shook slightly: "Initially, I thought of finding Little Feng to deal with that scoundrel, the Hunter King, together. Now it seems that matter will have to be postponed."
Chen Nan noticed that revenge seemed to be of little concern to the True Dragon.
However, his constant use of ’Little Feng’ made the powerful figures present feel extremely awkward, given that the old ancestor of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan was being addressed in such a manner. But then again, considering his age, he had the right.
In the Ancient Era, the strong lived extremely long lives.
Listening to the True Dragon’s monologues, Chen Nan’s mind was filled with curiosity, especially since the Sacred Demon Clan had retreated from the world following that event the little rascal had mentioned, which he wanted to know more about.
He was about to ask the little rascal but then heard the True Dragon say with a smile, "Chen Nan, the little fellow was referring to the Heavenly Punishment thirty thousand years ago. During that event, countless beings from both the Nine Heavens and Ten Realms and the Outer Hundred Clans perished and were severely wounded, with many strong figures exiled from the Great World, forced into the Hundred Clan Domain."
"The Heavenly Punishment, Chen Nan recalled, according to the old ghost at the Thousand Stele Forest in Wanxiang City, those fallen comrades also perished during the battle of the Heavenly Punishment."
"What exactly is the Heavenly Punishment? Could it be that even the Nine Heavens and Ten Realms couldn’t resist it?" Chen Nan was shocked.
"The Heavenly Punishment was both a natural disaster and a human calamity. It is rumored that the Supreme Strong People from the Nine Heavens and Ten Realms collectively attempted to challenge the Heavenly Dao, leading to its retaliation, unleashing the Heavenly Punishment and causing countless deaths and injuries."
The True Dragon sighed and said, "Had our Sacred Demon Clan stayed within the Ancient Holy Mountain, we could have avoided the disaster by relying on its advantageous position. However, during the Ancient Era, the Sacred Demon Clan was exceptionally powerful and would hunt beyond the domain periodically, which were the happiest times for everyone. But that resulted in countless casualties during that time."
"Could it be that the senior also..."
Chen Nan saw the deep sadness in the True Dragon’s eyes, knowing it was a result of personal experience.
Despite knowing the question might be sensitive, Chen Nan’s curiosity about the battle during the Heavenly Punishment was overwhelming, as he didn’t believe the Heavenly Dao could suppress all creation so definitively.
"Indeed, I also witnessed that battle during the Heavenly Punishment. Our Sacred Demon Clan resisted the Heavenly Dao’s attack, but the outcome was tragic. The Heavenly Dao deliberately targeted us strong beings, and without the protection of the Ancient Holy Mountain, the battle was extremely challenging, leading to heavy casualties. It was because of that battle that I was gravely injured, relied on the sect to recover my cultivation, got targeted by that wretch Hunter King, and later suffered severe injuries from the Sun Shooting Divine Bow, being sealed in the Secret Realm by the Ten Thousand Beasts Divine Cauldron."
With the True Dragon’s account, Chen Nan attained a general understanding. It seems the Heavenly Dao’s attacks during the Heavenly Punishment were targeted, with stronger powers being more likely to become targets.
No wonder the saying goes, "When the sky falls, there are tall ones who stand."
He silently griped to himself, feeling an earnest addition to his understanding—the Heavenly Dao Law could actively counterattack. It appeared he had underestimated the Heavenly Dao before.
However, it seemed there were existences in both the Nine Heavens and Ten Realms and the Outer Hundred Clans that invoked dread in the Heavenly Dao. Otherwise, why would it initiate the Heavenly Punishment and annihilate those strong beings?
"Humph, the Heavenly Dao was fearful, meaning those Supreme Strong People thirty thousand years ago weren’t far from success."
Chen Nan noted this point internally.
Listening to the horrors of the Heavenly Punishment didn’t waver him at all, but rather, a surge of anger rose, strengthening his resolve.
"Chen Nan, my physical body has arrived, and I really must leave."
With the True Dragon’s words, a colossal dragon, eyes as large as Copper Bells, appeared in the Void nearby, overshadowing the sight but even larger than the skeleton seen in the True Dragon Secret Realm.
"My physical body hasn’t fully recovered yet, but one day, I’ll take you to tour the White Clan Domain, check out the Wilderness, guarantee you’ll find it interesting."
The True Dragon’s phantom shifted, fusing into the physical body, clutching the four Sect Masters with its giant claws.
The faces of the four Sect Masters were pale, entirely devoid of their previous demeanor.
If not for the Elders and Disciples being in the nearby Void, they might have been crying for their parents.
The next moment, the True Dragon’s massive body flickered and vanished into the Void.
As if neither the four Sect Masters nor the Ancient True Dragon had ever existed.
Shangguan Ao, Yun Zhongzi, Mo Chenzi watched as the True Dragon departed with the four Sect Masters, then looked at Chen Nan, each wearing expressions more forlorn than crying.
The Sect Master had been directly taken by the backing Chen Nan found.
Within the True Dragon Cave of the Ancient Holy Mountain, it seemed they wouldn’t emerge for hundreds or thousands of years.
The Elders one by one lost interest in power struggles, each facing a gloomy loss, with the Sect Masters gone, their pillars were gone too.
"Chen Nan, you..."
Yun Zhongzi looked at Chen Nan, his eyes nearly bulging out.
"What, do you want to go to the True Dragon Cave too? I just heard the True Dragon senior say he just returned there and needs some food. Shall I call him back?" Chen Nan squinted as he spoke.
"Forget it, let’s not bicker with this boy. With the Ancient Divine Worm and Abyss Divine Tree, we’re no match. If the True Dragon is summoned again, Fenglei Pavilion would be insecure." Shangguan Ao had lost his air of arrogance, thinking perhaps a gentleman’s revenge comes not too soon ten years, reassuring himself.
Watching the retreating elders, each afraid to act recklessly, Chen Nan chuckled lightly, all within expectations.
This battle was immensely rewarding for him, with wounds just healed completely by the True Dragon Soul. His strength and Divine Soul enhanced greatly, leaving no regrets.
Chen Nan carefully examined the elders in the Void, readying to extract concessions before departing, when suddenly a voice appeared in his ear, "You brat, while your master was merely dormant for a while, your strength became so formidable, not bad, not bad."
It was Xuan Tianji’s voice, and Chen Nan became ecstatic, "Master, you’ve finally resurrected?"
"I never died to begin with, resurrect my ass. Just that my strength was exhausted, turning into a Stone Statue temporarily." Xuan Tianji was quite displeased.
"Haha, it’s great that you’re recovering, Master. I’ll return to see you immediately."
With Xuan Tianji’s voice, Chen Nan was utterly thrilled, all previous gloominess dispersed.
"You little demon, what’s the hurry? It’ll still take some time for me to move completely. However, the No-Moral Taoist and Monk Jie Se, their powers are weaker than mine, so they might recover entirely quicker. The Top Supreme Strength you found is too powerful, and it’s been a real struggle for me to absorb it."
"Master, after you completely recover, what level of strength will you achieve?" Chen Nan asked curiously.
He hadn’t known before that the Supreme King divided into so many realms, only now realizing the Top Supreme is exceedingly terrifying. Bai Yue’er’s body once contained powers far beyond his imagination. If not for her heart already being dead, and her Residual Soul weak, a single slap might have eradicated the Symbol Emperor back then.
