Chapter 1505: The One Chosen by Heaven

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The Heavenly Stone of Taiyi contained a large amount of energy, which was more powerful than Celestial Core Power. It was similar to Heaven’s power and was, in fact, the Gods’ Strength.

Xu Que had found all this out because the System had informed him of it. It had also informed him that the Heavenly Book of Taiyi that was in his possession came from the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi. It was just a part of it that had broken off.

Therefore, Xu Que was quite certain that this so-called Chosen by Heaven Ceremony was actually a ceremony that was being used to select a person whose Mind Sense could communicate with the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi and be given another Heavenly Book of Taiyi by the Stone.

Such a person would be called the One Chosen by Heaven.

However, according to the System’s judgment, if one wanted to communicate with the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi with one’s Mind Sense, one must be highly qualified, have a strong Mind Sense, and be able to withstand the Gods’ Strength. Only then would they succeed.

Anyone who could possess these attributes was definitely one in a million, and people like this rarely existed.

Xu Que himself had been forcibly drawn into the Heavenly Book of Taiyi by Xuanyuan Wanrong and made to become a One Chosen by Heaven. It wasn’t difficult to communicate with the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi with one’s Mind Sense, but to obtain another Heavenly Book of Taiyi from it, that was basically impossible.

However, all of this didn’t matter. Xu Que’s trip here was not for the Heavenly Book of Taiyi. He’d just wanted to sabotage the ceremony and prevent the choosing of a new One Chosen by Heaven.

Zixia Fairy’s words had alarmed him. The One Chosen by Heaven had nothing to do with the safety and security of the Heaven Continent. The Heaven Palace Sect had hurriedly convened the Chosen by Heaven Ceremony just in order to control the One Chosen by Heaven, preventing the One from being taken away by outside forces, and losing control over the Heaven Continent.

“Xuan’er, when do you think it would be a good time for me to start the sabotage?” After observing the situation for a while, Xu Que turned to look at Zixia Fairy and asked her advice.

Zixia Fairy was very calm and answered quietly, “There is no need to worry. Let’s wait and see what’s going on first. If there is no One Chosen by Heaven, the Chosen by Heaven Ceremony will be over in three days. We won’t need to take any risks and can leave it for now.”

“I’m afraid I won’t be able to last for three days. Although they didn’t check our identities just now, look, some people have begun to carry out identity checks, and it seems to be targeted to find someone.” Xu Que smiled bitterly.

Among the crowd, there were several cultivators holding small books, walking around confirming the identities and appearances of disciples with the Elders of each force.

The cultivators in charge of this matter were all dressed in white, with the characters meaning Sage Sect embroidered across their chests. They were obviously people from the Sage Sect.

“I’m afraid this is being done with the approval of the Heaven Palace Sect, otherwise, the Sage Sect wouldn’t have the guts or qualifications to dare to do this.” Zixia Fairy whispered, her brows knitted in consternation. “If I don’t guess wrongly, the Sage Sect has asked for help from the Heaven Palace Sect, because they want to search for any people from the Exploding Heavens Faction here.”

“Heh, heh, heh, I’ve also guessed that this is probably the case. Otherwise, without prior permission, would the Heaven Palace Sect allow the Sage Sect to stroll around here asking people for identification? The important thing to note is that these powerful Celestial King ancestors don’t dare ignore the people from the Sage Sect. Obviously, we have a problem now.” Xu Que smiled ruefully.

He wasn’t worried that his real identity would be exposed. After all, his Celestial- grade puppet disguise was very advanced, and no one would be able to discover who he really was.

But the question was, once the Sage Sect asked about their background, how should they answer?

After all, all kinds of forces had received invitations from the Chosen by Heaven Ceremony, be it large forces, medium forces, or small forces, well-known forces or anonymous forces. If he randomly reported that he was from a force that people were unfamiliar with, they would immediately check it. Within three days, they would definitely check him again more seriously.

Thinking this over, Xu Que stroked his chin. Suddenly, there was a Sage Sect disciple right next to him, who saluted Zixia Fairy and said, “Senior, I am a disciple of the Sage Sect, Mei Xiachi. I have received orders from the Elders of the Heaven Palace Sect to record the details of all the people who have participated in the Chosen by Heaven Ceremony. I wonder if you could tell me the name of your force, as well as the details of all the disciples under you?”

“Sh*t, here so soon?”

Xu Que frowned.

Zixia Fairy also frowned, opened her mouth, and was about to say something.

Xu Que immediately took a step forward and said, “So it’s a fellow cultivator with a bad memory. I’ve heard of you for a long time and am pleased to finally meet you. Your last name is Mei (sounds like No in Chinese), and your first name is Xiachi (sounds like Flaw in Chinese), so your full name Mei Xiachi (sounds like Flawless in Chinese).”

The Sage Sect disciple was shocked. Looking at Xu Que in surprise, he said, “Fellow cultivator, you have the qualifications for the Chosen by Heaven Ceremony, why haven’t you begun? And…you’ve heard of me?”

At this moment, all the cultivators above the Heaven Celestial Stage and below the Celestial King Realm had already released their Mind Sense and were trying to communicate with the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi.

Hence, the Sage Sect disciples hadn’t disturbed them and had only asked the Elders of the Celestial King Realm and above for identification. So, as soon as Mei Xiachi came over, he had asked Zixia Fairy, but hadn’t expected that Xu Que would suddenly speak up.

“Ha, ha, ha, don’t pay attention to these details. To be honest, I haven’t heard of you, Mei fellow before, but the exalted name of the Sage Sect has long resounded in my ears. It is a great honor to meet a disciple of the Sage Sect today.” Xu Que laughed and tried to take advantage of his confusion by rambling.

Mei Xiachi smiled. “My fellow cultivator’s praise is exaggerated, too exaggerated.”

“How can it be exaggerated? It comes from the bottom of my heart. Mei fellow joined the Sage Sect and is highly valued by the seniors of the Heaven Palace Sect. Now that you are responsible for recording down our details, it proves that the seniors of the Heaven Palace Sect trust you. This is such a rare opportunity.” Xu Que started pandering to him with flattery and commenced rambling again.

Hearing all this, Mei Xiachi was secretly happy and, looking at Xu Que’s face full of envy, his vanity reached its bursting point.

“You speak too highly of me! So which force are you from?” Mei Xiachi smiled, but he hadn’t forgotten about his errand. He asked about Xu Que’s sect again.

The smile on Xu Que’s face suddenly froze. “Wasn’t his memory supposed to be bad? Why was his memory still so good?”

“Fellow cultivator?” Mei Xiachi looked at Xu Que and started to become suspicious.

Xu Que smiled in a quiet manner. “The Exploding Heavens Faction…”

“What?” Mei Xiachi’s expression suddenly changed into one of panic.

Xu Que continued, “I refuse to share the same sky as the Exploding Heavens Faction.”

“Ah?” Mei Xiachi froze. “He refuses to share the same sky as the Exploding Heavens Faction?”

He recovered his senses, and his expression relaxed. He breathed a sigh of relief and said with a bitter smile, “Fellow cultivator, if you hadn’t continued speaking after your pause, I would almost have thought that you were saying that you were really from the Exploding Heavens Faction. You’re not the only one here who refuses to share the same sky as the Exploding Heavens Faction. The Sage Sect also refuses to share the same sky with them.”

“Really?” Xu Que responded with a fake smile.

“Of course, but you should just quickly report what your sect is. I have to go…” Mei Xiachi nodded.

BOOM!

At this moment, a muffled noise suddenly sounded loudly throughout the Taoist Sanctum, shocking everyone.

There was a flash of light on the protective screen of the Taoist Sanctum. A figure had been sucked in and fallen directly in front of the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi. At the same time, a beam of light shone out from the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi, blanketing the figure.

The One Chosen by Heaven had appeared?

Everyone, including Xu Que, was shocked.
