Chapter 1066: Chapter 946: Mystery and Crisis (Part 2)

Since the Nine Heavens Mystic Crown is one of the few Emperor Weapons in the Xuan Realm, how did it end up in my mother’s hands? Her cultivation wasn’t high enough to possess such an extraordinary Emperor Weapon.

“The Nine Heavens Xuan Emperor is your mother’s ancestor, Ling Yun. It is precisely because of the Nine Heavens Xuan Emperor that the Ling Family became one of the most powerful Di Clans in the Xuan Realm. The so-called Di Clan refers to a family that has produced a Great Emperor. And a Great Emperor is the most powerful existence in the Xuan Realm, with only one appearing in each era…”

Elder Xuan Su Hu became immersed in his memories, unknowingly talking about many things Ye Fan had never been exposed to before.

It wasn’t until he saw Ye Fan’s engrossed expression that Elder Xuan realized he had said too much. Knowing too much without having the corresponding power is not necessarily a good thing.

So, Elder Xuan subtly shifted the topic: “After the Nine Heavens Xuan Emperor died…”

“Wait, didn’t you say the Great Emperor is the strongest combat power in this world? How could the Nine Heavens Xuan Emperor die?”

Upon hearing Elder Xuan say that the Nine Heavens Xuan Emperor had died, Ye Fan couldn’t help but interrupt him, asking.

“You shouldn’t learn about these things for now; let me tell you more about your mother instead.”

Elder Xuan sighed, his tone revealing deep sorrow, and then, after adjusting his mood, he continued: “After the Xuan Emperor’s death, the Nine Heavens Mystic Crown became the Ling Family’s heirloom spiritual artifact. Though the Ling Family never had another Great Emperor, it remained one of the Xuan Realm’s strongest Di Clans, holding a vast amount of the Xuan Realm’s resources. It also bore an important mission — to resist calamity.”

Elder Xuan’s words hit Ye Fan hard. He never imagined his mother had such a prestigious family background in the Xuan Realm. But why did she come to Earth? And what exactly is this calamity they’re resisting?

Ye Fan found his mind in turmoil as he interrupted Elder Xuan’s words again, asking: “So what is this calamity?”

“These are things you’ll learn later. It’s not good for you to know now, and you shouldn’t ask.”

Elder Xuan’s tone showed deep apprehension, “The last calamity in the Xuan Realm had to be resisted with Emperor Weapons by several Di Clans because there was no Great Emperor.”

“In the end, though the Xuan Realm resisted the calamity, the Emperor Weapons of all the major clans suffered varying degrees of damage, including the Nine Heavens Mystic Crown. I too was severely injured and nearly fell into slumber. Since your mother possessed an extremely rare spiritual body, before I fell into slumber, I made her the owner of the Nine Heavens Mystic Crown, but I didn’t expect it to harm her.”

“Your mother’s brother, wanting the Nine Heavens Mystic Crown for himself, secretly plotted to marry her off to a member of the Gu Family. The Gu Family is also a Di Clan. The Gu Family’s Emperor Weapon suffered the least damage in the last calamity. In this way, your mother’s brother, your uncle, ostensibly for the benefit of the Ling Family, sought protection from the Gu Family through marriage, but in reality, he wanted the Emperor Weapon to become the Ling Family Patriarch!”

“At that time, all major Di Clans wanted to associate with the Gu Family, so although the Gu Family agreed to the marriage, they wanted your mother to marry a youth with the worst talent and poor character. Your mother was firmly against it but to no avail. Under duress, she left the Ling Family with the Nine Heavens Mystic Crown, pursued by Ling Family members.”

“After being caught up with, your mother fought back desperately, unexpected that those pursuing her from the Ling Family wanted to kill her – they were all your uncle’s Death Soldiers!”

“In the dire situation, your mother fully activated the Nine Heavens Mystic Crown, killed those people, and inadvertently loosened the seal between the Xuan Realm and Earth, entering Earth through the passage…”

“Beast! That bastard wanted the Nine Heavens Mystic Crown, to become the Ling Family Patriarch, and even pulled a knife on his own sister, insane!” After hearing Elder Xuan’s account, Ye Fan was furious.

“Kid, the path of cultivation is inherently a ruthless path. Not only do you compete with others, but ultimately you also compete with the heavens. As you progress, you’ll understand the heartlessness and cruelty of this path. These are nothing.”

Elder Xuan lamented and then, having thought of something, added: “By the way, kid, I’ve deceived you about one thing…”

“What’s that?”

Ye Fan asked in surprise, not expecting Elder Xuan to have a moment of deceiving him.

“Your mother wasn’t killed by that guy named Chen Daozang. Instead, she chose to jump off a cliff voluntarily. To be precise, at that time, her heart was utterly broken by your father. After embedding the Nine Heavens Mystic Crown in you, she chose to return to the Xuan Realm. Her jumping off a cliff was actually her entering the two-world passage to return to the Xuan Realm.”

Elder Xuan, after much consideration, decided to reveal the truth to him since it had already happened, and they had arrived in the Xuan Realm.

“Wh… what?”

Ye Fan was incredibly shocked, “My… my mother is still alive? So I can see her?”

“There should be a chance, provided she’s still alive, and you must survive as well.” Elder Xuan reminded.

“Sur… survive…”

Upon hearing these three words, Ye Fan snapped out of his excitement, gradually calming down, and worriedly said: “I must not only survive, but also ensure Earth is not destroyed. Now, with Chen Daozang’s fate unknown, if what those four cultivators said is true and another cultivator returns to report to Tianyuan Sect, if the sect sends people here, can they break the seal?”

“The Nine Heavens Mystic Crown is severely damaged and, having been activated once before, has consumed a lot of energy. Currently, it has only temporarily sealed the passage. If a strong person arrives, they can indeed reopen it…” Elder Xuan sighed.

“Then what should we do?”

Ye Fan was filled with worry; this was the situation he feared most. If a strong cultivator from the Tianyuan Sect came to Earth, it would spell disaster for the planet.

“We can only hope that the Tianyuan Sect disciple dies on the way, or there are no strong cultivators left in the Tianyuan Sect.”

Elder Xuan also felt this hope was slim, then comforted Ye Fan: “However, you can rest assured of one thing; Earth has its own set of rules that restrict cultivators above the True Essence Realm from entering. This means only cultivators in the True Essence Realm and True Qi Realm can enter…”

At this point, Elder Xuan stopped speaking.

Because he understood very well that even True Essence Realm cultivators would be unstoppable on Earth.

Ye Fan also understood that True Essence Realm cultivators are an invincible presence on Earth. As long as a True Essence Realm cultivator arrives, Earth won’t stand a chance.

For a moment, both fell silent.

…

Meanwhile, after returning to the Tianyuan Sect from the Xuan Beast Forest thanks to his status as an elite disciple, Gu Yun reached the Sect Leader’s retreat without hindrance and reported to him about the world called Earth, emphasizing the potential of the Earth people’s talent and comprehension, which is not inferior to that of the Xuan Realm, perhaps even better.

Should they control Earth, those with exceptional talent there will surely shine brightly, their cultivation advancing by leaps and bounds, becoming the backbone of the Tianyuan Sect!

Touched by Gu Yun’s unprecedented contribution to the sect, the immortal and Daoist-like sect leader decided after deliberation to send an elder leading elite disciples to the Xuan Beast Forest secretly.

He intended to quietly seize control of Earth and replenish the sect with its talents.

“Gu Yun, you have made an unparalleled contribution to our sect this time,” the Sect Leader praised. “Now, I want you, along with Elder Ma, to take the elite disciples and set out for Xuan Beast Forest. Control the place called Earth for us first.”

Having made his decision, the sage-like leader of the Tianyuan Sect said, “Go call Elder Ma. Tell him I have something important that needs his immediate attention and that he should come to see me right away!”

…

Today, there are four updates, this is the first one!
