1380 Its Not Time Yet! (1/2)
Xiao Tienhen reached his hand up, slowly wiping off the dirty substance. He didn't feel disgusted.
Instead, he was confused. Why did this substance fall on him at the moment when he'd opened the door? What were the ancestors trying to say to him?
”What's the meaning of this?” Xiao Tienhen couldn't figure out why this had happened just now.
Even he, a Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven, was baffled by the circumstances of this coincidence.
If Buttface's feces had fallen a little bit sooner, then he would've noticed what was going on above him. But they fell right after he opened the door. The sticky feces had fallen onto his face after he'd caused a big commotion.
And, to add insult to injury, not only did it fall accurately, it was also slightly watery!
This confused Xiao Tienhen a lot. Subconsciously, he felt that the ancestors had planned this and wondered whether they were trying to give him a hint about something.
”Perhaps I didn't open the door at the right time?” Xiao Tienhen asked himself this question again quietly, his bewildered gaze staring at the door.
The enormous door was distorted and wavy and slowly changing into a bright haze as a mysterious fog lazily emerged from it.
This door has been closed for tens of thousands of years!
The people behind this door were the remaining Supreme Existences of the last generation. Each one was feared within the Heaven Continent and had dominated the world in the Celestial Emperor's time.
According to the preaching of the Sage Sect's ancestors, they had faced a change of the Rules of Heaven and Earth toward the end of their lives.
They had been entering into an era of anarchy, which was to say in other words the disappearance of many natural treasures and the loss of their contract with the Rules of Heaven and Earth that had once defined the rises in their ranks.
In such an unforeseen and fluid situation, the Supreme Existence had come up with a solution. They would close themselves away, leaving those with superior qualifications to rest while the Sect continued to grow. At the arrival of a new era, they would be awakened.
However, ever since then, with each new generation of Sect Leader, not one could figure out when the new era had arrived. The ancestors' preachings didn't explain this point, so they decided that the appearance of a Celestial King would be their evidence of the coming of a new era.
Of course, this was just a guess. However high the probability, no one wanted to treat the decision lightly.
Xiao Tienhen didn't plan on opening the door and waking the ancestors so soon. But Xu Que had come crashing through their doors, threatening their safety and angering Xiao Tienhen. And so, he had to open this door, not only to be rid of Xu Que but also to bring a new beginning to the Heaven Continent.
BOOM!
A formidable presence suddenly gushed out from behind the enormous door, rolling out as high as a mountain, enveloping all in its way with a feeling of suffocation.
Xiao Tienhen, a Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven, only a step away from Celestial King, paled at once when the presence passed him. He stumbled backward, using his celestial core power to resist the push he was experiencing.
Even with all his strength, Xiao Tienhen was slowly forced to step back.
Despite what was happening to him, Xiao Tienhen felt his heart leap with excitement. This presence was capable of manipulating him, a Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven, to such a degree. Even Elder Xu didn't have such power. It was enough to prove that the owner of this presence was extremely strong.
”Hmm, the descendants of my Sage Sect, what do they amount to? They cannot stand strong in my presence, how great can they be?” An authoritative voice spoke out sternly from behind the door.
The voice was deep and commanding as it spoke directly into Xiao Tienhen's mind.
”Please forgive me, ancestor! Your disciple is not worthy!” Xiao Tienhen cried out loudly as he immediately kowtowed.
In the face of such a strong Sage Sect ancestor, how could he dare to put on the airs of a Sect Leader?
”Let it be, Old Shang. Our descendants have held onto this land for so long. It must not've been easy. And now, they have followed the ancestral preachings in waking us all up, why do you put him at fault?” Another voice, this one hoarse, spoke up.
