Chapter 1502: Heaven Continent Is a Boat

Xu Que was surprised and curious. Between the first time he’d first heard about the big changes coming to the Heaven Continent when Xuanyuan Wanrong had mentioned it until now, there had been a gap of almost 100 years.

It seemed as if the time frame for these changes was becoming shorter and shorter, as if there were an invisible hand, pushing time from behind and speeding up everything.

“It wasn’t me, right?” Xu Que felt anxious, and he’d broken out in a cold sweat.

After all, when the shackles of the Heaven Continent disintegrated, all the ancestors and the Celestial Kings of the major forces would have woken up. However, it seemed to Xu Que that it had been because of him that those Celestial Kings had been awakened in advance and all of these events suddenly accelerated.

Especially after those people from the Heaven Palace Sect had been awakened, it seemed like the Heaven Continent’s Big Tribulation was suddenly very near.

“Pass this order down. All the disciples of the Heaven Celestial Stage and above are to quickly gather in the meeting hall.” At this time, Bai Cailing issued an order with a serious expression.

She turned to look at Xu Que and his party and asked hesitatingly, “Xu Que, will you go with us to the Selection Ceremony?”

“Oh, no, we won’t be joining the festivities of the Selection Ceremony. Miss Bai, since you have so much work to do, we will leave now.” Xu Que rejected Bai Cailing’s request and prepared to leave.

“The Selection Ceremony? For the One Chosen by Heaven…

“Ha, ha, ha, he had long known he was The Son Chosen by Heaven. Why did he need to participate in the Selection Ceremony for the One Chosen by Heaven?

What’s more, this ceremony that they were all going to had been organized by the group of old guys from the Heaven Palace Sect. If he went there, wouldn’t he be walking right into a trap?

“What, you don’t plan to attend the Selection Ceremony?” Bai Cailing was shocked and said suddenly, “Xu fellow, this is a major event concerning the safety of the Heaven Continent. It isn’t good to disregard it.”

“Miss Bai, I didn’t say we were going to disregard it. It’s just that our Exploding Heavens Faction is always accustomed to being by ourselves. We are an independent organization that likes to fight as lone wolves. We aren’t suitable for fighting in a group.” Xu Que laughed heartily as he made this pronouncement.

Bai Cailing said, “This…”

“Miss Bai, you have to understand something. Participating in the Selection Ceremony is not the only way to save the Heaven Continent. There is nothing extraordinary in this.” Xu Que smiled indifferently and turned to leave.

Buttface, Duan Jiude, and the others followed closely behind him without a word and walked out of the meeting.

Bai Cailing looked after their figures leaving, opened her mouth, but finally didn’t speak. She didn’t make an effort to change their minds.

She’d realized that even if she said something to them, she wouldn’t be able to change their minds.

After all, she also understood very clearly that the Selection Ceremony was just to choose The One Chosen by Heaven, and didn’t mean in the slightest that the Heaven Continent would be able to safely survive the Big Tribulation that was coming.

What’s more, she had absolutely no idea what the Big Tribulation that the Heaven Continent was about to face was like. She didn’t even know whether it was a natural disaster or a disaster that had been caused by humans.

When all these elements facing them were so unclear, how could she find valid reasons to force Xu Que and the others to follow them to participate in the Ceremony?

“Holy Virgin, Xu Que and the others have left. Are you sure you don’t want to force them to come with us?” a female disciple asked.

“Force them? With our strength, do you think it’s possible for us to force them?” Bai Cailing shook her head and smiled bitterly.

“But the secret order said that if you saw Xu Que…”

“I know, but this isn’t what we do. Pass down the order. All the disciples from the Jade Lake must not mention the news that Xu Que had appeared in the Jade Lake,” Bai Cailing said determinedly. At the same time, she waved her hands, destroying the secret order by burning it into ashes.

She looked toward the exit of the Holy Land of the Jade Lake and momentarily felt helpless. Just now, she had just reminded Xu Que not to offend the Heaven Palace Sect. And right afterwards she had received a secret order that contained information stating that Xu Que was already wanted by the Heaven Palace Sect. This guy was really…an unrepentant troublemaker.

…..

At the same time, on the outskirts of Tianxiang City, Xu Que and his party had already appeared and made a stop in a mountain forest.

“The Big Tribulation of the Heaven Continent… Oh, the Heaven Continent is such a broken place with no Celestial Emperor. They have a need to gain the attention of people from the outside.” Xu Que shook his head and smiled.

He really didn’t understand what the h*ll was going on. In a place that had been so isolated for so many years, why would there be so many people waiting for the shackles to break before attacking.

“This may be related to a rumor from the Heaven Continent,” Zixia Fairy said abruptly.

Immediately, everyone looked at her.

Zixia Fairy continued, “I have said before, the Heaven Continent is just next to the Celestial Cloud Continent. When I was in the Celestial Cloud Continent, I heard some things. It was said that the Heaven Continent is just a boat to the Land of God. At some point in the future, it will fly to the Land of God by itself. Once a cultivator enters the Land of God, they will have the opportunity to catch a glimpse of enlightenment, be of the highest Celestial Ranking, and become a Deity.”

“What? Does this mean that those rumors are true, and that the Heaven Continent is really just a boat.” Mo Junchen got super-excited immediately.

There had been rumors that the Heaven Continent was simply a boat to the Land of God ever since he had been in the Earth Continent. However, no one knew the origins of these rumors, which had been passed down from generation to generation.

But now hearing Zixia Fairy’s words, Mo Junchen was scared. The Heaven Continent was a big boat leading to the Land of God…

“Well, well, this is indeed possible.” Duan Jiude frowned. “Think about it. No matter whether it was the Celestial Cloud Continent or any other continent, there didn’t seem to be any Deities. Only in the Heaven Continent, supposedly there were Deities a long time ago, and it was there in the Heaven Continent that the big war between Deities and Demons occurred. Maybe it really is a big boat that can go to and from the Land of God.”

“Sh*t, so this is the reason why people from outside want to fight for the Heaven Continent.” Xu Que stared. No wonder Nishang Fairy from the Celestial Cloud Continent and the Holy Virgin of the Sacred Moon Palace would actually be worried about the Heaven Continent and want to protect the Celestial Kings of the Heaven Continent. It turns out that they were interested in the Heaven Continent simply as a passageway to the Land of God.

“Well, I don’t want to be trapped in troubled times,” Buttface said, panicking. “No, we must hurry to the Celestial Cloud Continent to prevent this battle. Otherwise, there will definitely be heavy bloodshed. With so many Celestial Kings and Celestial Primes, and maybe even Celestial Emperors participating, I don’t want to stay and become cannon fodder.”

“You won’t become cannon fodder.” Xu Que smiled. “But…we really don’t need to deal with this mess. No matter who occupies the Heaven Continent, we can always come back to ride on this smooth sailboat.”

“No, I’m afraid we can’t avoid it,” Mo Junchen said abruptly, his face becoming a little pale, as he looked at Xu Que. “Master Xu, I suddenly remembered another rumor that concerns you.”

“What rumor?” Xu Que momentarily froze, and everyone looked toward Mo Junchen.

Mo Junchen smiled bitterly. “I have heard that when two people who are the Ones Chosen by Heaven pass through the tribulation of love, the keys to the Land of God will be unlocked. Only then will the boat of the Heaven Continent start to move, so…”

“What the h*ll? So I’m one of the keys?” Xu Que’s eyes widened immediately.

“You can’t say it like that. The correct way to say it is that The One Chosen by Heaven who has passed the tribulation of love is the key.” Mo Junchen corrected him.

“That’s okay then. Xuanyuan Wanrong and I haven’t experienced the tribulation of love yet, there is no need to panic.” Xu Que breathed a sigh of relief. He really didn’t want to deal with this mess. There was nothing good that could come out of it. So easily, he could become condemned by the public.

“No, Master Xu, you should panic!” Mo Junchen said anxiously. “Those people in the Heaven Palace Sect are holding the Selection Ceremony to choose the One Chosen by Heaven, and they clearly want to choose The One Chosen by Heaven themselves. If they pick someone, if The One Chosen by Heaven has successfully passed the tribulation of love, the remaining Ones Chosen by Heaven will all die.”
