130: Chapter 130 The Wang Family's Lingering Hatred, the Heaven and Earth Gate Token!

Thinking of this...

Wang Shuo's gaze suddenly fell on an iron chest in the corner of the hall.

That chest was very old, rusted, and covered in a thick layer of dust.

Sitting in that corner, it had been there for at least hundreds of thousands of years.

Everyone in the Wang Family knew about that chest.

But no one had ever touched it.

Because it was a relic left behind by an Old Ancestor from three generations back.

The Old Ancestor had only left one sentence before his death.

"Unless the clan faces destruction, it must not be opened."

Wang Shuo stared at the chest, his eyes bloodshot.

The danger of clan destruction.

Does it count as that now?

He stood up.

His injured right arm hung by his side, and his gait was somewhat unsteady.

He walked step by step toward the iron chest.

The old servant behind him grew anxious.

"Family Head, that is the Old Ancestor's relic, you cannot..."

Wang Shuo ignored him.

He crouched down and crushed the rusted lock on the chest with one hand.

The lid popped open.

There were no treasures inside.

No Cultivation Techniques.

No Emperor Weapons.

Only a single command token.

Palm-sized, of unknown material, and completely pitch-black.

Two ancient seal script characters were carved on the front.

"Tiandi."

As soon as the token appeared, the temperature in the hall dropped by several degrees.

Wang Shuo took the token in his hand and flipped it over; a line of small characters was carved on the back.

"The holder of this token may request the Heaven and Earth Gate to emerge once."

Wang Shuo's hands were trembling.

Not from his injury, but from excitement.

Heaven and Earth Gate.

That ancient Sect that lived in seclusion, whose name was only heard of even by the various Holy Lands.

It was said that during the Ancient Era, the Heaven and Earth Gate was once the exclusive Dao-protecting Sect of a certain top-tier Emperor Clan.

The foundation within the gate was unfathomably deep.

And the Wang Family's Old Ancestor, through some unknown Opportunity, had actually obtained a token from the Heaven and Earth Gate.

Wang Shuo gripped the token tightly, his breathing heavy.

He didn't know how strong the Heaven and Earth Gate still was, nor was he certain if this token could still be used.

But he had no other path left to take.

Lin Yi.

Wang Shuo whispered the name, his voice incredibly hoarse.

"You think that by killing my two sons, the Wang Family is finished?"

He held the token before his eyes and squeezed it hard with his fingertips.

Instantly, the ancient seal script on the surface of the token lit up.

An invisible wisp of Qi shot out from the token, penetrating the Wang Family's mountain-protecting array and soaring straight into the sky.

It was so fast that even a Peak Quasi-Emperor could not capture it.

In a flash, it disappeared at the end of the firmament.

Wang Shuo lowered the token and slumped to the ground.

A twisted smile played across the corners of his mouth.

"Lin Yi, my old life, Wang Shuo's life, isn't worth much."

"But as long as I can drag you down to death with me..."

"I am willing to pay any price!"

The old servant stood in the distance, watching Wang Shuo's back, his whole body feeling cold.

He had stayed in the Wang Family his whole life.

He had never seen the Family Head show such an expression.

It wasn't anger; it was a madness that would burn himself up as well.

The signal traveled through the Desolate Region.

Through the Central Province.

Through the borders of several large regions.

Finally, it landed in an ancient immortal mountain locked deep in clouds and mist.

The immortal mountain was nameless.

This place could not be found on maps of the outside world.

Only a very few powers with Ancient Era Legacies knew of its existence.

Heaven and Earth Gate.

The moment the signal landed, in an ancient hall deep within the immortal mountain, an old man with white hair and beard slowly opened his eyes.

On the stone table in front of him, a token identical to the one in Wang Shuo's hand was gently vibrating.

The old man reached out and pressed down on the token.

The vibration stopped.

A wisp of information flooded into his Sea of Consciousness.

The Wang Family's plea for help.

Lin Yi's name.

And a key piece of information that caused his eyes to change suddenly.

Shen Qingyue.

Innate Taichu Dao Body.

The old man's finger tapped twice on the stone table.

Tap! Tap!

It was very quiet inside the hall.

So quiet that the sound of mist drifting past the window could be heard.

After a moment, the old man spoke.

"Go, call Xu Tian here."

The voice penetrated the entire immortal mountain.

In less than the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn.

A youth in white clothes swept in from outside the hall.

The newcomer was tall and slender, with a face like jade and a dustless white robe.

His entire being from head to toe exuded an ethereal aura.

Yet, in those eyes, there was a hidden trace of pride that was completely out of place.

It wasn't the kind of blatant arrogance.

But rather a natural condescension that seeped from his very bones.

As if everyone in the world should kneel at his feet.

Xu Tian.

The only successor of this generation of the Heaven and Earth Gate.

Innate Tai Su Holy Body.

The sole heir of the Ancient Medical Dao.

He walked into the hall and bowed.

"Revered Master called for me."

The old man pushed the token in front of him.

"Take a look."

Xu Tian took the token, scanned it with his Sea of Consciousness, and raised an eyebrow slightly.

"The Wang Family?"

"A destitute household that couldn't even protect its own Imperial Son, and they are worthy of using my Heaven and Earth Gate's token?"

The old man did not answer this.

Instead, he mentioned something else.

"The message mentioned a person."

"Shen Qingyue."

"Innate Taichu Dao Body."

Upon hearing this, Xu Tian's expression changed.

That Innate pride was still there.

But one more thing was added.

Interest!

Innate Taichu Dao Body.

Naturally of the same origin as his Innate Tai Su Holy Body.

Taichu is the essence of life.

Taisu is the essence of form and substance.

These two Physiques, in the Ancient Era, were universally recognized as a match made in heaven.

Xu Tian's Revered Master had told him more than once that the Heaven and Earth Gate had an eternal connection with the Shen Family, and the two families once had a marriage contract.

It was just that the Shen Family had long since been destroyed, and the marriage contract had become a mere scrap of paper.

Unexpectedly.

There were still descendants of the Shen Family.

And they were in the Desolate Region.

Xu Tian placed the token back on the stone table.

"What does Revered Master mean?"

The old man took out a yellowed ancient scroll from his sleeve and handed it to him.

"This is the marriage contract of the two families from back then."

"The original."

"Go down the mountain once."

Xu Tian took the marriage contract, his fingertips stroking the ancient patterns on it.

The old man continued.

"Shen Qingyue suffers from an Innate Dao wound; in this world, the only thing that can heal this injury is your Taisu Saintly Body."

"When you go, first approach her under the guise of treating her injury."

"Then use the marriage contract to bring her back to the Heaven and Earth Gate."

"And while you're at it, let the world witness the prestige of our Heaven and Earth Gate!"

The corner of Xu Tian's mouth curled.

"Rest assured, Revered Master."

"A mere little girl from the Desolate Region, could she possibly refuse me?"

The old man looked at him.

"The message also mentioned another person."

"Lin Yi."

"Number one on the three thousand extreme dao list."

"Holy Son of Tianxuan."

"Hongmeng Chaos Body."

"Accompanied by two Peak Quasi-Emperors."

"This person is right by Shen Qingyue's side."

After Xu Tian finished listening, the smile on his face grew even wider.

"Number one on the three thousand extreme dao list?"

He shook his white robe and said proudly.

"That again?"

"Rankings like that are for Mortals to see."

"I am the successor of the Heaven and Earth Gate; I never compare rankings with Mortals."

The old man did not correct his arrogance.

Because Xu Tian indeed had the capital to be arrogant.

Innate Tai Su Holy Body.

The only medical Saintly Body throughout the ages.

A single thought to save a life, a single thought to kill.

His cultivation was even more unfathomable.

Among his generation, he rarely had opponents.

"Go." The old man waved his hand.

"But remember, do not underestimate anyone."

Xu Tian turned around, and with a flick of his white robe, he was already at the hall's entrance.

He stopped for a moment and looked back at the old man.

"Revered Master worries too much."

"If he is sensible, I will only take Shen Qingyue away."

"If he is not sensible..."

Xu Tian's smile vanished, and the pride in the depths of his eyes was finally no longer hidden.

"Then I will let him know what it means to have a heaven beyond the heavens!"
