YM778.TV Chapter 1192 - Returning To Tianding
The Human Race’s Divine Ancestor was giving a lecture in the extravagant establishment littered with golden lotuses. Many martialists listening to his lecture felt as if they had attained rare enlightenment.
However, just as the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor began to talk about the essence of his lecture, someone suddenly exclaimed, “It doesn’t work! Why is it not working?”
The voice was loud, and it even sounded like the person was snarling.
The sudden rude interruption drew glares among those listening to the lecture of the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor in an instant. However, as those people realized who was exasperated, they all started to feel awkward.
That was someone they couldn’t afford to offend!
The Mysterious Water Heavenly Ruler was seething in anger, and his eyes were burning as he glared at the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor doubtfully.
In the past, although the Mysterious Water Heavenly Ruler used to have a high status, he had always treated his master with respect.
Now, the Mysterious Water Heavenly Ruler had cast aside all the respect and fear he had for his master and was glaring at the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor as if his emotions were on the verge of boiling over while he ranted. “Master, what you said was wrong. Completely wrong.”
“Not only did I fail to improve, but I nearly lost control of my cultivation. Are you afraid that I will surpass you cultivation-wise? Is this why you are explaining such great insight in this lackluster manner?”
The Scarlet Fire Heavenly Ruler and the rest said nothing but also eyed their master with doubtful gazes.
Even the Taichu Yuan Venerates who belonged to the six major families were also casting doubtful glances at the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor.
At least a hundred people had immediately become Taiyi Yuan Venerates when they’d listened to Luo Yunyang’s insight. However, the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor, who should be better than Luo Yunyang, had given a lackluster lecture. How could this sit well with them?
Some people even suspected that the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor might have some hidden secrets and was deliberately holding those secrets back.
The Human Race’s Divine Ancestor merely glared coldly at his disciples.
He turned to the Mysterious Water Heavenly Ruler and said lightly, “My lecture itself has already integrated my path. Although your cultivation path is very similar to mine, there is still a significant gap.”
“The Human Ruler’s lecture is aimed at everyone’s shortcomings. After listening to the Human Ruler’s lecture, I can mend the flaws of my cultivation path and improve further.”
“But your cultivation path is different from mine. After listening to my lecture, not only will you find it difficult to improve further, but it may even complicate your cultivation path.”
“Today’s lecture ends here!”
The words of the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor left the Scarlet Fire Heavenly Ruler and the others ashen-faced as they hastily pleaded. “Master, the Mysterious Water Heavenly Ruler is just feeling anxious so he misunderstood. Please forgive him this once.”
“I’m afraid we will never become Taiyi Yuan Venerates without Master’s guidance. Master, please be merciful.”
“Ancestral Master, please be merciful!!” The disciples of the six major families also knelt down when they saw that the others were doing so.
Their plea was sincere. After all, their status would be in jeopardy if they could not become Taiyi Yuan Venerates.
The six major families of Tianding Realm occupied all the cultivation resources in Tianding Realm, and it could be said that they had always dominated the realm.
The reason they were able to do so was because of the protection of the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor. In addition, their forces were so powerful that Luo Yunyang would not be able to compete with them even if he recruited the returnees.
However, with Taiyi Yuan Venerates popping out one by one and Luo Yunyang himself also becoming a Taiyi Yuan Venerate, these people felt an immense pressure to improve.
If they couldn’t become Taiyi Yuan Venerates, they would have to give up a large chunk of resources in Tianding Realm.
They might even face problems establishing themselves in Tianding Realm in the future.
The Human Race’s Divine Ancestor felt sorry for his disciples, who were kneeling down before him. Although he was very upset by what the Mysterious Water Heavenly Ruler had said just now, that was still his disciple.
A disciple that he had trained and nurtured for years!
How could the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor not know what the Mysterious Water Heavenly Ruler and the rest were worried about? Even he felt a sense of urgency.
The Human Race’s Divine Ancestor had sensed that his rule over the Human Race was going to change greatly ever since 100 Taiyi Yuan Venerates had appeared in the Human Race. Although he did not want this change to happen, he had no other choice.
“Get up. I’m not angry with you. It’s just that you will not benefit at all if you continue listening to my lecture. Only getting the Human Ruler to share his insight again could make all of you Taiyi Yuan Venerates.”
The Human Race’s Divine Ancestor waved his sleeves and his disciples, who were kneeling on the ground, stood up involuntarily. He looked at his disciples and said, “My insight isn’t useful to any of you.”
Although the Mysterious Water Heavenly Ruler and the rest were back on their feet, they all remained silent. They had already realized that their master’s insight was not suitable for them while the lecture was happening.
However, they had no other choice so they were determined to continue listening to the lecture. Now, their master had said so himself. As a result, they could not deceive themselves anymore.
After a moment of reflection, the Southwest Heavenly Ruler said, “Master, we have overestimated ourselves and offended the Human Ruler. I hope you will come forward and help us mediate. We will agree to any conditions as long as the Human Ruler can share his insight with us again.”
The Human Race’s Divine Ancestor looked at the Southwest Heavenly Ruler and shook his head gently. “I have already pleaded with him on your behalf. He said he will not agree to it and will never change his mind. It would be better to return and cultivate on your own if you really want to become Taiyi Yuan Venerates. Maybe you will find enlightenment and become Taiyi Yuan Venerates.”
The faces of the disciples fell as soon as these words were uttered by the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor.
The Mysterious Water Heavenly Ruler and the others had cultivated for years by themselves without attaining enlightenment. It would still be a futile attempt if they continued to do so. They would never become Taiyi Yuan Venerates.
During the suffocating silence, someone suddenly pointed at the Mysterious Water Heavenly Ruler and lamented. “Mysterious Water Heavenly Ruler, it’s all because of you. If you had not made a scene there, I would never have left Donglu Town.”
“Given my... my aptitude, I would have become a Taiyi Yuan Venerate long ago. It’s all because of you!”
The speaker was a Taichu Yuan Venerate from the Scarlet Fire Heavenly Ruler’s family. In the past, this Taichu Yuan Venerate had been very respectful to all the five Heavenly Rulers. However, he was now acting hysterical as he continued his onslaught of criticism.
The Mysterious Water Heavenly Ruler’s face twitched as his junior spoke so audaciously to him right in his face. In the past, his temperament would have made him immediately crush this junior who was talking back.
However, he did not dare to do so now because he had already sensed the angry glares directed at him. These angry glares came from both his senior brothers and the disciples of his own family, who were looking at him angrily.
They also resented him greatly. He would be cut off from the pack if they followed suit and reproached him.
“It was my own choice to leave at the time. I didn’t ask you to leave. It was your choice. You are not kids anymore, and you should know that you will have to pay for your decisions.”
The Mysterious Water Heavenly Ruler took a deep breath and added, “What has your decision got to do with me?”
“Everyone, he said this has nothing to do with him. He cost us a delay and is now saying that he isn’t responsible for it. This is utterly disgusting!” The Taichu Yuan Venerate erupted with rage after hearing the Mysterious Water Heavenly Ruler’s words.
The words of the Taichu Yuan Venerate were like sparks landing on kindling, instantly igniting the fire in everyone’s hearts. Immediately, someone shouted angrily at the Mysterious Water Heavenly Ruler, “This has nothing to do with you? Say that again!”
“What an irresponsible scoundrel! Everyone, we should teach him a lesson and show him that he cannot make irresponsible remarks about certain things.”
“Beat that nonsense-babbler up!”
Upon hearing the tumultuous crowd getting stirred-up, the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor frowned. He was just about to speak out when someone suggested, “It was the Mysterious Water Heavenly Ruler who offended the Human Ruler. The Human Ruler will definitely let bygones be bygones if we bring him to the Human Ruler to make amends.”
“Yes, the Mysterious Water Heavenly Ruler was the only one in the wrong. Our families cannot be stained by him.”
The juniors of the Mysterious Water Heavenly Ruler stayed silent. While they were relatives of the Mysterious Water Heavenly Ruler, they also harbored some resentment for the Mysterious Water Heavenly Ruler.
While the Mysterious Water Heavenly Ruler was livid, someone suddenly reported, “His Majesty the Human Ruler is here to call upon the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor.”
This sentence created hope in many people’s hearts. They turned to look in the direction of the person speaking and saw a line of people entering the Nine-Cauldron Training Ground in a grand fashion.
The person right at the front was actually Luo Yunyang, who they had been longing for.
The Human Race’s Divine Ancestor was slightly pissed when he saw Luo Yunyang arrive. Naturally, he wasn’t angry because Luo Yunyang had come but because of these disciples’ ethics.
The behavior of his disciples had been atrocious! Although Luo Yunyang was far away, he believed that he must have witnessed it.
After some hesitation, he rose and greeted Luo Yunyang. “Greetings, Human Ruler.”
However, when he approached Luo Yunyang, his attention was focused on the machine-like party behind Luo Yunyang.
These people were riding huge Pegasuses, and their movements seemed extremely stiff and machine-like.
Despite their lack of vitality, they still gave off an astounding, threatening aura, especially the person right at the front, who made the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor very wary.
It seemed like this person’s cultivation was above the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor, so he might not be able to win if they were to fight.
The Mysterious Water Heavenly Ruler glared at Luo Yunyang hatefully. It was understandable that he would react in this manner, but he had been looking forward to Luo Yunyang sharing his insight again deep down.
Luo Yunyang smiled at the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor and responded, “Divine Ancestor, there’s no need for such formalities.”
While Luo Yunyang was exchanging greetings with the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor, the Southwest Heavenly Ruler and the rest exchanged a glance before bowing respectfully in front of Luo Yunyang and greeting him in unison. “Greetings, Human Ruler!”
In the past, the Mysterious Water Heavenly Ruler and the rest had not been very polite to Luo Yunyang and had never ever bowed before him.
However, Luo Yunyang was now in control of the situation so even though they were proud and lofty, they still had to greet him. Furthermore, the aura emitted by Luo Yunyang this time frightened them even more.
Luo Yunyang looked at the Southwest Heavenly Ruler and the others who greeted him and gestured with his hand. “Let’s skip the formalities.”
“Congratulations, Human Ruler, for becoming a Taiyi Yuan Venerate. Your cultivation will be the strongest in this realm from this day onward,” the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor said after studying Luo Yunyang for a moment.
Luo Yunyang had become a Taiyi Yuan Venerate and was now even a Xiantian Taiyi Yuan Venerate. Although his cultivation had reached the Shentian Taiyi Yuan Venerate level after listening to Luo Yunyang’s lecture, there was still a huge gulf between him and Luo Yunyang.
Thus, the moment he saw Luo Yunyang, he had a feeling that he no longer had a chance of surpassing Luo Yunyang in this life.
“Divine Ancestor, thank you. The Human Race is stronger now, but we are also at the most critical juncture. After all, there will not be another Great Era after this one.”
“If we cannot stop the impending calamity, I’m afraid the entire Human Race will vanish from this realm.”
The Human Race’s Divine Ancestor nodded and said, “You’re right, Human Ruler. Don’t hesitate to let me know what I can do to help since you have come to my Nine-Cauldron Training Ground.”
As soon as the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor finished speaking, someone suddenly fell on his knees and pleaded. “Human Ruler, I listened to the slanderous calumny of the Mysterious Water Heavenly Ruler and doubted your generous offer. I hope you are willing to give me another chance in light of my sincere plea. I will undoubtedly follow you unswervingly and fight alongside you when the impending calamity comes.”
The person who spoke was the Taichu Yuan Venerate who had just blasted the Mysterious Water Heavenly Ruler. He had unceremoniously pushed all the responsibility on the Mysterious Water Heavenly Ruler.
The Mysterious Water Heavenly Ruler was upset but he did not dare defend himself in front of Luo Yunyang.
Plus, he had no chance to defend himself. After that Taichu Yuan Venerate spoke out, the other Taichu Yuan Venerates of Tianding Realm followed suit and stood out one by one to express their resentment for being led astray by the Mysterious Water Heavenly Ruler while also seeking the Human Ruler’s forgiveness.
Momentarily, the Mysterious Water Heavenly Ruler had become the target of scorn.
The Mysterious Water Heavenly Ruler couldn’t help turning to look at his master, as he felt extremely wronged.
However, the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor merely sighed when he saw how the situation was unfolding.
He was also going to abandon the Mysterious Water Heavenly Ruler. It would be worth it if Luo Yunyang agreed to the request of his disciples.
“I am not here to talk about this.” Luo Yunyang scanned the disciples kneeling on the ground as he spoke indifferently.
