Chapter 182 - Powerful Foreign Celestials (1/2)

“So you’ve heard of us then, Mr. Lu,” Yin Hu said.

“I know a thing or two.”

Lu Xuan nodded, recalling the rumors he heard about the Celestials back in his past life.

To put it precisely, the Celestials was not a product of Huaxia, but an organization established after the world had gotten into the era of cultivation.

Other than the sects and clans that had been around for ages, as well as powerful super-government agencies like the Special Task Force, the Celestials was yet another form of such organizations.

Such a type of organization, precisely put, comprised of the cutting-edge elites from all over the world at the current stage.

Members could probably hail from a variety of sects and clans, but there may also be some lone, elite cultivators unlike any others being among their ranks as well.

Every single member could possibly have backing from a top-notch cultivation force.

The Dragon Soul was one of those Celestials type organizations, with a great many top-notch fighters found within.

Yin Hu, for instance, was a member of such an organization.

Other than the Dragon Soul, there were also other Celestials from other countries, like the Brahmans from India and the Amaterasu-gumi from Japan.

All members of the Celestials were some of the topmost fighters to be found in the world without exception. Being anything less would mean that membership was totally out of the question.

Of course, the fighters of such a top-notch caliber did not gather around for fun. They gathered so that they were able to join forces with organizations or individuals that were equally as powerful. With every single fighter in their ranks having monster-like organizations of old behind them, a very, very terrifying alliance would be formed when those fighters banded together.

Yin Hu, for example, was most probably backed by the Northern Shaolin Temple.

Said temple was one of the greatest cultivation forces to be found in the current world of cultivation. It was only, naturally, for the temple to be so given how they had an Invincible Vajra among their ranks.

But then again, all members wore masks when dealing with each other, and they rarely expose their true identities in their dealing. Such manner of dealing with others was not limited to the Dragon Soul, as even the likes of the Brahmans, the Amaterasu-gumi, and many others, operated in such manners as well.

The culture became an unspoken consensus. There was simply no way one would have known of the members’ true face without killing the members in question.

That was because there might actually be shocking identities concealed behind those masks.

Such people were known collectively as the Celestials.

The powers the Celestials was extremely formidable, and they were all from different factions.

From what Lu Xuan learned back in his past life, Huaxia had apparently become the foremost target for organizations of Celestials.

The advent of the era of cultivation made it clear that Huaxia was definitely among the best, be it in terms of population numbers and quality of cultivators found.

While the population of India was high, there were still a lot of illiterate people around, and the number of untouchables was extremely staggering. Those deemed eligible for cultivation and actually able to cultivate, remained among the likes of Brahmans and Kshatriyas, who were only a handful. Making cultivation a common culture available to all was simply out of the question.

Under such circumstances, Huaxia, with a population reaching well over a billion, became a thorn at the side of many other countries.

“If you know about us, Mr. Lu, I assume that you’d naturally know of our current predicament.”

Yin Hu sounded rather bitter as he spoke.
