Chapter 1480: The Celestial Sect of Wonders’ Might

Zhao Huan bit on his lower lip as he heard Yue Hongyan’s question and replied, “I hope for my parents to be reborn through the Samsara, so that they can live another life. However, they wish to stay.”

Yue Hongyan nodded and said, “Let them decide for themselves. They can’t bear to leave you behind.”

Zhao Huan heaved a faint sigh and said, “How can I bear to part with my parents? However, I don’t wish for them to remain as lonely souls, and I don’t wish for them to continue living on within magic items. They can never live like an actual human being, and they will never get to roam the world.”

Yue Hongyan said, “There are other old acquaintances who have chosen to stay behind. We can still enjoy the warmth of kinship when everyone is together, so we aren’t that lonely. Your parents cannot move around in the outside world, but you can still bring them along when you venture outside.”

Zhao Huan acknowledged, “Yes, I understand.” He stared at his master and said nothing more.

No matter what, he was satisfied that he could be reunited with his family. His master, Yue Hongyan, couldn’t see her parents ever again.

Yue Hongyan watched him grow up since he was a kid, so how could she not know what he was thinking? Yue Hongyan watched Zhao Huan’s expression and laughed. “My parents and my elder brother sacrificed themselves to save our lives against an invasion. I miss them, but I have been able to reconcile with that fact all those years ago. How can I still not be able to let go of this?”

Zhao Huan smiled and nodded. “Yes, I was confused.”

Yue Hongyan shook her head and chuckeld. “Yes, you’re getting old, but you’re starting to think too much and there are too many worries on your mind.”

Her eyes sparkled she projected a message outside the hall. “Yuan Zhen and Yuan Shang are here. Let them in.”

Two people suddenly appeared before Yue Hongyan and Zhao Huan. It was a guy and a girl – the guy was tall and well-built with a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes. He appeared valiant and bold, and his eyes were calm and determined.

The girl was pretty and charming, while her eyes sparkled with vitality and her hairs were white like snow. Even her eyebrows were the color of frost, and these features weren’t because of her cultivation – she was born like that.

This man was Zhao Huan’s disciple, Guo Zonghuang, and his Daoist name was Yuan Zhen. He was the number-one disciple amongst the third generation of successive disciples in the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

Lin Feng had disappeared into the void along with Mount Yujing. However, many years had passed, and the Celestial Sect of Wonders was an unrivaled power in the Grand Celestial World. Their foundations were dense and stable, and they consolidated their unmatchable strength over time.

Even though their assessments for choosing disciples became stricter over time, the Mountain in the Sky along with the eight great schools across the entire world stood proudly in the world. They already had great might and influence, but the Celestial Sect of Wonders continued to expand and improve, to the point where it felt as if all the prodigies of the world joined under their wing.

The Celestial Sect of Wonders had become the first choice of every cultivator with ambition and knowledge that wanted to get on the path of cultivation.

Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi, Yue Hongyan and the others continued to become stronger. Zhao Huan and the other second-generation successive disciples eventually became a force to be reckoned with and cornerstones of the sect. Guo Zonghuang and the other third-generation successive disciples had matured, and even their reputations shook the entire Grand Celestial World.

The other disciples of even younger generations slowly developed their own voice.

Over the years, the Celestial Sect of Wonders had another growth spurt even though they were welcoming their era of expansion and flourishment. Yue Hongyan, Yang Qing, Li Yuanfang, and Luo Qingwu all ascended to the second-level immortal soul stage, and uncountable disciples of the younger generation also reached the first-level immortal soul stage. This intimidated the entire Grand Celestial World.

There was still the Supreme Heavenly Mirror, the Shakyamuni, and Xuan Shang.

There was still the Illusory Sun Hades, the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage, the Tai Yi Holy Man, the Xuan Yi Holy Man, the Tiangang Swordmaster, the Shen Dragon King, amongst other powerful individuals.

However, what would the Celestial Sect of Wonders eventually become with the passage of time?

Everyone could feel that when Lin Feng was still at the Celestial Sect of Wonders, they were only starting out on their fast pace of growth. They were still a distance away from truly maximizing their potential, and to convert their frightening potential to real power and might.

However, their current strength had reached an unimaginable level.

Their potentials had yet to be maximized, but they were already instilling fear into everyone’s hearts.

Lin Feng didn’t seem like he was going to interfere with the Greater World anymore. However, the Heaven-Destroying Sword was still levitating in the outer realms, and the fact that Xuan Shang was still sealed within the Black Sea by Lin Feng’s power still reminded everyone that they could only watch as the Celestial Sect of Wonders, an unprecedented holy ground, progressed even higher and became even more frighteningly powerful.

Guo Zonghuang continued working hard after reaching the immortal soul stage, and his powers were already off the chart and he had become even stronger than his master, Zhao Huan.

Zhao Huan wasn’t affected by this at all. Instead, he was happy that this was true. The fact that the sect had such outstanding youngers and uncountable talents and prodigies made him extremely glad.

Guo Zonghuang had already opened his own line and he had already taken in his own disciples. He even had disciples that were two generations beneath him, and the younger generation of disciples referred to him respectfully as Elder Guo.

Outside the Celestial Sect of Wonders, everyone typically referred to Guo Zonghuang as the Martial Emperor.

Guo Zonghuang wasn’t a king or an emperor, but people addressed his as such. This was something th at was rarely seen since the beginning of time, and this was seldom seen even within the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

However, nobody within the sect or outside believed that he couldn’t become an emperor.

Xiao Yan was still the sect leader at the moment, but everyone believed that unless he met an unfortunate demise prematurely, Guo Zonghuang would undoubtedly be the best choice to eventually take over as the sacred sect leader amongst the third generation of successive disciples in the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

Similarly, if nothing went wrong, Xiao Yan would eventually pass the position to Tang Jun, and Guo Zonghuang would definitely take the spot as the fourth-generation sect leader.

Guo Zonghuang typically spent his days inside the Mountain in the Sky to train and guide his disciples, and to aid Xiao Yan and Tang Jun in handling administrative matters within the sect.

He took his wife out of the mountain, and he passed by the Arctic State, so he made a special visit to the Blizzard Valley to meet his master and his grand master.

The snow-haired girl beside Guo Zonghuang was his wife. She was also from the third generation of successive disciples – she was Ye Xinxuan of the Wasteland Valely. Her Daoist name within the sect was Yuan Shuang, and she had plied the craft under the guidance of the Tian Hong Holy Woman, Zhuge Wanqiu.

They had become partners in cultivation more than two years ago. Both Guo Zonghuag and Ye Xinxuan were outstanding disciples, and she was one of the most powerful disciples of the Wasteland Valley’s third generation of disciples. Their marriage had become one of the most popular and epic romances of the Divine Lands.

Ye Xinxuan’s biological brother, Ye Xinhui, was also a third-generation successive disciple in the Celestial Sect of Wonders, and he was the First Disciple of Zhu Yi’s lineage.

The two siblings were up-and-coming prodigies of the younger generation known to the entire world, and the entire world praised them.

Guo Zonghuang and Ye Xinxuan greeted Yue Hongyan and Zhao Huan, and Guo Zonghuang said, “We met fifth grand senior uncle and his wife when we travelled along the Southern Wilderness.”

Yue Hongyan smiled and said, “With fifth junior brother’s current mastery, he is travelling the world and providing medical aid to the mortal world, and even if he may not be able to bring people back to life, he’s probably not that far off. Xiao Fang has been with him over the year, and her medicinal abilities have also improved and she has saved many lives.”

Guo Zonghuang nodded and answered, “That’s true. Fifth grand senior uncle is preparing to return to the Kunlun Mountains after receiving the sect leader’s notification, but his wife will continue roaming the world.”

Yue Hongyan said, “That’s alright. Second senior brother has established the Yi Mantra Academies and he has spread all over the world. The Southern Wilderness has their own academies, and that region also belongs to the Gu Dynasty. Xiao Fang will be fine, and I’m sure fifth junior brother has made arrangements for her.”

She stood up and said, “Let’s go. We can travel together back to Mount Kunlun.”

She turned towards Zhao Huan and instructed, “The Blizzard Valley is yours.”

Zhao Huan laughed and said, “Don’t worry, master. You can go in peace.”

Guo Zonghuang and Ye Xinxuan bid their farewells to Zhao Huan, before they accompanied Yue Hongyan out of the Blizzard Valley. They tore through the void and proceeded towards the Kunlun Mountains, and where the Celestial Sect of Wonders’ mountain gate was – the Mountain in the Sky.

The first person they met was Zhu Yi when they entered the Mountain in the Sky. He was just standing there, and his aura wasn’t flowing out at all. There was only a sense of scholarliness and literature in the air, and he seemed more like a successful scholar than cultivator.

There was a tanned youth behind Zhu Yi. This was Zhu Yi’s direct disciple, Ying Luozha, and two others stood behind him.

It was a guy and a girl. The guy had white hair and eyebrows like Ye Xinxuan, and this was her elder brother, Ye Xinhui. The girl standing beside Ye Xinhui was Ying Luozha’s disciple, Meng Honglou.

This was another popular couple within the Celestial Sect of Wonders that everyone knew about. The man appeared gentle and tender, while the girl was tough and strong, but there was another harmony amongst their differences.

Most people didn’t expect them to get together. However, they had already been through the years by each other’s side, and they had become a legendary romance to the world.

Ye Xinxuan saw her brother and immediately flashed a warm smile. Ye Xinhui returned her smile, but the two siblings went ahead to greet their seniors before anything else.

Meng Honglou’s eyes were a little cold, but they warmed up when she saw Ye Xinxuan.

Zhu Yi and Yue Hongyan greeted each other before they left their younger disciples outside and the two of them entered the Grand Heavens Pavilion on the top of the Mountain in the Sky.

Xiao Yan was on the main seat when they entered the main hall. Wang Lin, Shi Tianhao, Yang Qing, Li Yuanfang, and Luo Qingwu had already arrived, and everyone smiled when the two of them walked in. “Everyone’s here. You can discuss the matter now, eldest senior brother.”

Xiao Yan immediately spoke after Zhu Yi and Yue Hongyan were seated. “Master has sent a message.”

Once they heard this, everyone became serious and turned towards Xiao Yan.

He continued, “After three days, master will withdraw the Celestial Heavenly Array that’s locking down the Black Sea. This means that Xuan Shang may burst out of the Black Sea.”

“Master remarked that if Emperor Jue wants his own peace and quiet, then we are to let him do as he wishes. However, if Emperor Jue wants a fight, then the few of us will be responsible for this battle.”

Everyone nodded and said, “It’s natural for us to go in the stead of our master when he’s busy.”

Xiao Yan stood up and said, “Since that’s the case, then let’s go – we’ll see what Emperor Jue intends to do.”

Shi Tianhao laughed heartily and said, “Let’s go!”

Everyone all stood up together.

At this moment, the Grand Heavens Pavilion seemed to tremble in this moment. The entire Kunlun Mountains seemed to shudder, and even the Divine Lands felt like it was quivering.
