Chapter 2328 - Prophecy! Heavens Destiny! (2/2)
Wang Chong trembled in shock.
He had heard the Sindhu High Priest speak of the Celestial Army, and he now heard Luo Supreme speak of the Celestial Palace, which was apparently Heaven’s strongest ritual tool.
For some reason, Wang Chong felt that the Celestial Army and Celestial Palace were related, and not simply because of their similar names.
The books of the Central Plains mentioned the Celestial Army and the Celestial Palace, but these were regarded by many as simply legends.
Yet this Luo Supreme had, several thousand years ago, been venerated as a god by the Turks. Wang Chong sensed that the Celestial Army and Celestial Palace mentioned by the books of the Central Plains could be linked to Heaven.
Luo Supreme continued to speak. “Heaven is not someone sentimentally attached to his things, and he has shared almost all his ultimate techniques and ritual tools with us. Only the Celestial Palace, as his personal ritual tool, has Heaven kept a secret. According to that man, there will be signs when the man who will end Heaven appears.
“When that man appears before Heaven, the first thing he will do is destroy Heaven’s personal ritual tool, that ‘Celestial Palace’ that not even Heaven himself can destroy!”
Luo Supreme’s words seemed to strike the floor, and they stirred up a storm in Wang Chong’s heart.
The Celestial Palace!
That term was too mysterious and was connected to too many myths and legends.
“So you mean that Heaven used the Celestial Palace in the capital of the Great Tang?” Wang Chong muttered.
“Yes!”
Luo Supreme was very direct with his reply.
“In addition, you’ve interacted with the Celestial Palace. Can you tell me what you discovered?”
Without hesitation, Wang Chong explained how Heaven had wiped all memories concerning him from the minds of everyone in the capital, and also how the people of the Wang Family Residence fell unconscious as soon as they were taken away from the capital and were growing weaker and weaker.
Luo Supreme had already learned some of this from his scouts, but for Grotto Heaven realm experts, Wang Chong’s direct observations and senses were clearly more detailed and useful.
“Yes, that should be it.
“Not only that, from what I understand of Heaven, the reason he has gone to such great lengths, coming to find me and gather all the Doomsday Insignias rather than directly kill you, might be that he suspects you to be the person spoken of in the prophecy. Heaven is extremely proud and is not someone to scurry away with his tail between his legs. He is only so cautious when it comes to his life and destiny.
“I was not certain about this, so I intentionally provoked him. I did not expect Heaven to react so intensely.
“I am not someone who believes in destiny, and I have only ever laughed about such things. However, this is different. Heaven had just created the Pantheon Pearl, and he should have been brimming with confidence. In normal circumstances, no one should have been able to defeat Heaven.
“But even though Heaven had the Pantheon Pearl, you still defeated him! This isn’t normal!”
Heaven was powerful, the supreme King of Gods!
But the powerful King of Gods had been forced to flee because of Wang Chong. Very rarely had this occurred over the previous tens of thousands of years.
Luo Supreme was certain that this youth had something special about him.
Wang Chong fell into deep thought.
After a period of silence, he suddenly said, “What is the Celestial Palace? How can I destroy it?”
“I have no means of answering you. Heaven has used this ritual tool very few times, so there is little information to be found about it. Moreover, it is very difficult to detect its energy. Did you sense anything while you were in the Great Tang capital?” Luo Supreme asked.
Wang Chong frowned and shook his head.
Wang Chong had also investigated the capital, but he had not found anything unusual besides the fact that all memories regarding him had been wiped away.
“I can’t help you very much with the Celestial Palace, but if you truly are the person spoken of in the prophecy, then you definitely will be able to destroy the Celestial Palace. Moreover…”
Luo Supreme paused, his eyes flitting over the Xuanyuan Sword and losing focus for a moment. He quickly came to his senses.
“Since the Origin Immortal Lord gave you the Xuanyuan Sword, I trust that he told you much more, including how to deal with this crisis.”
“Many thanks!”
Wang Chong felt somewhat disappointed. He had believed that he could get answers from Luo Supreme, but all he had learned was that Heaven had used some powerful ritual tool called the Celestial Palace in the capital of the Great Tang, nothing more. Luo Supreme offered no other solutions.
