Chapter 1540 Ancient Heaven
Ancient Heavenly Palace Ruins?
Everyone was stunned. What were those people trying to do by staring at the ruins of the ancient heaven?
"Are you going to leave or not?" Sheng Xue urged.
"We can't leave yet." Lu Yun said seriously, "We came to the upper realm to find your father. Although your father is not in this ancient heaven now, there must be some clues. It is much better than us looking for him everywhere."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Sheng Xue also figured this out and stopped talking.
Lu Yun's gaze fell on the hall again, and the surrounding monks gathered around.
But they surrounded the hall and did not go in.
"What do they want to do?" Sun Lie scratched his head.
Suddenly, those monks took action.
However, their target was not the hall, but the monks around it.
"Fuck!"
Lu Yun was shocked.
"What kind of operation is this? Just start fighting when there is a disagreement?"
He looked around and saw that no monks from the upper realm had noticed them, so he took a few people and hid in the dense woods around them.
"Strange, what's going on in the upper realm? Are they going to fight to the death just for an ancient heavenly temple?" Tailor Wu frowned.
Even Tailor Wu didn't know about this, so Lu Yun was even more confused.
"Just watch, you'll know what's going on soon." Long Dapao took out the Qinglong Sword and stood behind Long Ying.
The fight was very fierce. After a while, screams were heard from the front. Lu Yun saw with his own eyes that a female cultivator was beheaded by a strong male cultivator.
Just as he was laughing, another female cultivator pierced his chest with a sword.
Everyone was so blood-thirsty that no one paid attention to the situation in the hall.
However, a golden light flashed on the top of the hall, and something quickly flew out.
"Don't let that precious treasure escape!"
Someone shouted and the fight stopped instantly.
The monks who were closest to the golden light rushed forward as quickly as possible, wanting to get the treasure in their hands.
However, the treasure seemed to have developed intelligence. When everyone surrounded it, it disappeared inexplicably. When it reappeared, it was already outside the encirclement.
"Hahahaha! It really is a treasure from the ancient heaven. It's truly extraordinary. It belongs to me!"
A group of people chased each other and attacked the people around them at the same time.
Lu Yun and others were stunned, and their understanding of the upper realm was completely overturned.
Shouldn't the upper realm be a harmonious place? How could this happen?
Those dead companions seemed to be cannon fodder, and their companions had no feelings of sadness at all.
“My Lord Demon King, I think we should leave. It’s such a chaotic scene, I’m afraid...something might happen.” Tailor Wu suggested.
"Hehe, it's easier to fish in troubled waters. Those people can't take care of us right now, so we can just get some information." Lu Yun stared at the hall and said, "Let's find a chance and rush in to take a look."
“Master Demon King, this is unacceptable!” Tailor Wu said in shock. “Although only a pile of rubble remains of the Ancient Heavenly Palace, some of the restrictions and magic arrays in the halls are still there. Those are life-threatening things!”
Lu Yunshen agreed.
Although he had no idea what kind of existence the ancient heaven was, just by looking at the scale of this palace, he knew it was not simple.
"Who knows, maybe I can get a great opportunity." Lu Yun suddenly felt an inexplicable expectation in his heart.
At this time, several objects shining with golden light flew out of the hall again. The monks around were no longer calm, and they all used their own abilities to fight for them like tigers fighting for food.
For a moment, brilliant magic flew all over the sky, dust and smoke rose up, and the figures on the opposite side could no longer be seen clearly.
"It's now!"
Lu Yun waved his hand and led everyone straight to the main entrance of the hall.
They carefully dodged the magic spells bombarding from all around and finally arrived in front of the hall.
Lu Yun rushed into the hall without hesitation, and the others followed closely behind.
However, the scene before them shocked everyone.
It should have been the scenery in the main hall, but what Lu Yun saw was a sea of white clouds. The surrounding clouds were rolling, and it really looked like a fairyland in mythology.
"This scene... you must have seen it in a TV drama." Lu Yun couldn't help but complain.
"TV series? What is that?" asked Tailor Wu.
"That's not important. What's important is, where exactly is this place?"
"It's the South Heaven Gate." Tailor Wu said coldly.
"what?"
Lu Yun followed his gaze and saw two huge pillars standing not far ahead. The two pillars were at least ten feet high and there was nothing connecting them.
"Is this the legendary Nantianmen? It is really majestic and magnificent." Lu Yun said with emotion: "This is completely different from the scene in the TV series."
One can imagine how grand the ancient heaven was back then.
"Old Wu, can you tell me what the ancient heaven was like back then?" Lu Yun asked.
Tailor Wu seemed to be thinking about something, and only spoke after a while.
"In the beginning, the entire upper world was managed by the Heavenly Court. Every place in the upper world had its own administrator."
"In the local area, all the sects and families offer sacrifices and obey the orders of the Heavenly Court. In the entire Heavenly Court, there are more than 50,000 officials of all ranks."
"At that time, the Realm Master was not in the Heavenly Court, but disguised as an ordinary cultivator from the Upper Realm, observing the people's sentiments in various places in the Upper Realm. Whenever he encountered injustice, he would take it seriously and give the people a satisfactory answer in the end."
"Only later..."
"But later, the Heavenly Palace was destroyed. Why?" Lu Yun asked curiously.
"It's a long story. To put it simply, the actions of the Realm Lord affected the interests of some important figures. In addition, some people in the Heavenly Court also had their own selfish motives. As a result, these people became birds of a feather."
"Hehe, as expected, greed is the original sin." Lu Yun shook his head slowly.
"At that time, there was a marshal who was in charge of 80,000 heavenly soldiers. One night, the marshal suddenly became interested and personally came to the area under his jurisdiction to check on the posts."
"So, he saw that his soldiers were slacking off. Originally, this matter could be a big deal or a small matter, but the marshal was wronged that day and was in a very bad mood, so he planned to make some trouble with this soldier."
"So he arrested the soldier, tortured him severely, and framed him with a trumped-up crime, and finally killed him."
"Oh? You killed someone just because you were lazy? How could you be so arbitrary!" Lu Yun asked in disbelief.
"That's exactly what he said. Moreover, the Marshal even made a fuss about it, saying that the Heavenly Court is now extremely corrupt and asked the Realm Master to take this opportunity to rectify the administration of the Heavenly Court."
“Thus, an unprecedented dispute began.”
