Chapter 1905: Chapter 1902: Old Grievances
Ninety thousand years ago.
After receiving the Double Emperors’ orders, the Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect allied with the overlords of the five major domains of Daozhou, exerting pressure on the Emperor Immortal Sect, intending to obtain some secrets from them.
The result was also evident; the Double Emperors did not get what they wanted.
But for the Emperor Immortal Sect, it was fatal.
Hong Ba and others were coerced by the Double Emperors’ command and had no choice but to go to the Heavenly Domain.
During this time, many from the Emperor Immortal Sect either withdrew for safety or directly joined the Double Emperors, claiming innocence.
Only Hong Ba and others truly stayed behind.
In the Great Saint Realm, only Hong Ba remained.
After Hong Ba and others went to the Heavenly Domain, the Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect seized Zhongxuan Mountain from the Emperor Immortal Sect and occupied it for ninety thousand years.
Although the Emperor Immortal Sect raised battle flags during this period, intending to retake Zhongxuan Mountain, without strong experts to hold the fort, the sect was no match for the Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect, ultimately being driven back to their Ancestral Land, falling into decline.
In contrast, the Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect solidified its overlord status after that battle, and the strong factions within the sect connected with the Double Emperors, thriving in the Heavenly Domain.
That was the situation back then.
And now.
The Emperor Immortal Sect has returned to Zhongxuan Mountain.
The Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect has become history.
Completely erased.
This time, the Heavenly Dao Suppression is lifted.
Those who went to the Heavenly Domain from the Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect back then have all descended.
The sect’s development in the Heavenly Domain over the ninety thousand years has established a firm footing, with sect disciples vast as clouds.
Yet, Li Dingtian did not bring these disciples down to the Lower Realm.
The sect’s plan is already formulated, and it will develop bilaterally in the future.
The Lower Realm Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect must exist.
As must the Heavenly Domain.
The ninety thousand years of the End of Dharma Era has changed many people’s thoughts.
These ninety thousand years have made people realize that All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds also have significant drawbacks.
Even the Double Emperors at the pinnacle cannot reverse these drawbacks.
It made people recognize the substantial gap between All Heavens and the Heavenly Domain.
For example, those ancient inheritances moving their entire sects directly to the Heavenly Domain also detected the crisis and planned to settle there.
For no one can guarantee another End of Dharma Era won’t come.
For the continuation of the sect, it is very necessary to take root in the Heavenly Domain.
This is the future strategy crafted by Li Dingtian and others.
All moving in a positive direction.
Until he heard news of the Lower Realm Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect’s destruction.
Anger almost made him unable to resist directly descending.
But at the time, Heavenly Dao Suppression was too serious, without an edict from the Double Emperors, descending was impossible.
Li Dingtian also understood that the relationship between the Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect and the Double Emperors wasn’t as good as it appeared; if he went to seek an edict, it would certainly consume the already scarce goodwill.
So Li Dingtian endured.
He decided to wait for the lifting of Heavenly Dao Suppression to personally descend.
Now is a perfect opportunity.
At the same time, Li Dingtian hasn’t forgotten the seed left by the Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect on the Emperor Road.
That was the Fierce Sun Emperor from one hundred thousand years ago.
Originally at that time, the Fierce Sun Emperor planned to reach the end of the Emperor Road, but realized the rise of the Double Emperors, so opted to sacrifice a certain cost to sleep on the Emperor Road, skipping the Double Emperors’ era, waiting for the next era to begin.
Now is just such a perfect opportunity.
Li Dingtian was insightful and sent Xu Zhe and Yan Ling’er, who had followed the Fierce Sun Emperor, to meet him on the Emperor Road first.
And he himself brought the strong members belonging to the Lower Realm Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect to rebuild the sect.
On this day.
Li Dingtian employed heaven-defying means to gather scattered disciples of the Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect from back then, wanting to ask about the details of that previous battle.
These scattered disciples, some lucky enough to survive the Zhongxuan Mountain battle, are very clear about it.
Listening to the disciples’ laments and their descriptions of Ye Xuan, Li Dingtian remained calm.
"Ancestor, you must avenge us; that Ye Xuan is simply a demon, killed many of us, even took away our sect’s Great Emperor Immortal Weapon, Blood Sun."
Experiencing the battle, the scattered disciples were extremely distressed.
Li Dingtian nodded slightly, "Rest assured, our Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect will be rebuilt on the ruins of the Emperor Immortal Sect."
Upon these words, numerous Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect disciples rejoiced, bowing to Li Dingtian.
Li Dingtian ignored them, hands behind his back, eyes squinting as he gazed faraway.
In that direction, was Zhongxuan Mountain.
Li Dingtian was contemplating a matter.
Although the strong in Great Venerate Realm and above mostly went to the Heavenly Domain for better development, there were still three at the peak left in the Lower Realm, including the Ancient Divine Hou, the Guardian God.
From any perspective, it shouldn’t have fallen to the Emperor Immortal Sect.
But he knew one thing.
Those three junior sect members didn’t die by the sword of the Emperor Immortal Sect but fell to the sword of an old monster named He Ziming in the Sword Tomb.
Not to mention those three juniors, even he couldn’t stop this person in the Lower Realm.
But what role did the Hou Ancestor play in this?
Li Dingtian wasn’t very clear.
So, he planned to ask at Zhongxuan Mountain.
Li Dingtian waved his hand, sending the bloodlines of the Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect to those accompanying him, while he stepped forward, heading to Zhongxuan Mountain.
Boom!
Li Dingtian stood in the air, arriving in an instant from the horizon.
Terrifying aura surged like great waves crashing ashore, hitting the sect protection array of the Emperor Immortal Sect.
Rumble——
The whole Zhongxuan Mountain instantly began to tremble.
This alarmed the entire Emperor Immortal Sect.
At that moment, above Zhongxuan Mountain, a Black Qilin appeared out of thin air, its deep eyes firmly fixed on Li Dingtian.
This was the Black Qilin, Mountain God of Zhongxuan Mountain created by Ye Xuan.
Li Dingtian’s forceful arrival also alerted this ancient Mountain God.
Seeing the Black Qilin, Li Dingtian was momentarily stunned, not knowing of its existence.
But soon, Li Dingtian loudly declared:
"Is Hou Ancestor here? Junior Li Dingtian seeks an audience."
In a radiant cave, Hou Ancestor opened his eyes, his gaze calm.
Hong Ba sat across from Hou Ancestor.
Hou Ancestor sighed, "What must come, has come."
Hong Ba’s expression was grave, "You and I will both go."
Hou Ancestor waved his hand, "This is my own matter; you need not interfere."
Hong Ba said slowly, "That Li Dingtian is from the Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect. Earlier, upon hearing of the sect’s demise, he targeted the Emperor Immortal Sect in the Heavenly Domain everywhere, if not for some experts secretly assisting our Emperor Immortal Sect, I wouldn’t have been able to descend either. I am destined for a battle with Li Dingtian."
