”You’re not getting away either, right? I was seen fighting alongside you, and I’ve also split with your Wang family. If I say I’m in cahoots with you, no one will doubt it, especially since we just eloped...” Ye Tianchen provocatively retorted.

”You... Hey, don’t talk nonsense, okay? Who eloped with you? We’re at best just escaping, heading in the same direction, that’s all. I have nothing to do with you, not even the slightest bit!” Wang Luanxiang puffed her cheeks angrily, looking at Ye Tianchen.

Ye Tianchen glanced at Wang Luanxiang, who truly surprised him. The second young lady of the Wang family, who he thought was a very steady and certainly not immature person. After all, using the Red Cloud Treasure Mirror, she deflected the energy blast of the Sky Suppressing Tower, saving Ye Tianchen and the others, a feat not achievable by a mere immature woman. Unexpectedly, she overturned Ye Tianchen’s perception; Luan Xiang was indeed a naive brat. However, she seemed to have a dual personality, naivety with a hint of backbone and stubbornness!

Ignoring Wang Luanxiang, Ye Tianchen quickly sat down cross-legged to begin healing. This time he was severely injured, half of his body blown open. Especially with the excessive consumption of Martial Arts True Qi, it was quite difficult to recover soon. Healing requires activating the Martial Arts True Power within, but the True Qi in Ye Tianchen’s body was almost depleted, even the powerful healing force left by Zhang Ruotong in him was becoming ineffective. To quickly restore Martial Arts True Qi, a large amount of Spiritual Energy was necessary. However, the entire Earth was no longer suitable for cultivation, and though the three Ancient Martial Worlds were somewhat better than other places, the Spiritual Energy was still too sparse!

”Hey, take it!” Wang Luanxiang glanced at Ye Tianchen, took out a pill from her bosom, and handed it to him.

Ye Tianchen looked at Wang Luanxiang, then at the pill she handed over, and couldn’t help but ask, ”What’s this?”

”Gathering Spirit Pill, you’ve never heard of it? I really don’t know how you’ve cultivated to this level and become so powerful, while seemingly knowing nothing about many things!” Wang Luanxiang said, puzzled, while looking at Ye Tianchen.

Hearing Wang Luanxiang’s words, Ye Tianchen was momentarily stunned. He couldn’t share his origins with anyone, as it would not be beneficial for him, especially if those wanting to kill him or plotting against him found out. It would pose a great threat to him.

A simple reason: Very few people knew of Ye Tianchen’s background now. They didn’t know which sect he came from or who his mentor was; essentially, they didn’t know he came from the Mortal World, nor that he had relatives there. Hence, his family and friends were safe. Thus, Ye Tianchen did not want people to question his origins too much.

”Sigh, back in the day, I followed my master in cultivation. For decades of cultivation, I rarely ventured into the outside world. Only after my master’s passing did he allow me to come out and see the world, to train and glorify our Taoist inheritance!” Ye Tianchen deliberately put on a pitiful look as he spoke.

Wang Luanxiang looked at Ye Tianchen, starting to believe him, and said sympathetically, ”You’ve really had it rough, cultivating for decades before stepping outside. But you’ve got great fortunes, acquiring so many mystical treasures; truly remarkable. By the way, what’s your Taoist heritage called?”

”Ah? Does Taoist heritage have names?” Ye Tianchen was genuinely stunned, feeling stumped by Wang Luanxiang’s question.

”Hmm? Taoist heritages have names. Don’t you have a name for yours? Are you just making things up to deceive me?” Wang Luanxiang, a little clever and impish, looked at Ye Tianchen inquisitively.

Ye Tianchen was taken aback but then seriously said, ”Our Taoist heritage certainly has a name, but I’m afraid saying it will scare you!”

”Just say it. I come from the Wang family. Our family has a history of nearly a million years. What I know certainly surpasses what you do by far!” Wang Luanxiang said proudly.

”Heavenly Court!” After pondering for a while, Ye Tianchen uttered these two words.

Unexpectedly, his random words truly left Wang Luanxiang stunned, as if hearing some unbelievable matter. These two words seemed to carry a tremendous impact, leaving her speechless as she stared intently at Ye Tianchen.

”Hey, are you scared stiff?” Ye Tianchen asked with a smug look, smiling at Wang Luanxiang.

Wang Luanxiang snapped back to reality, then seriously looked at Ye Tianchen, without a trace of deceit, crouched down and asked, ”Are you really from the Heavenly Court?”

”Yeah, what about it? Is there something special?” Ye Tianchen asked with some curiosity.

”No wonder you’re so powerful. Turns out you’re from the Heavenly Court. I should have thought of that long ago!” Wang Luanxiang said with a frown.

Ye Tianchen wasn’t stupid. When he mentioned the words ”Heavenly Court,” Wang Luanxiang’s expression was one of total shock, and her entire aura changed. The way she looked at him was distinctly different, there must be a story here. This Heavenly Court’s legacy must be incredibly significant.

”What’s so special about the Heavenly Court? To be honest, I was raised and cultivated by my master, and he never mentioned our Taoist legacy until he passed away, mentioning only the words ’Heavenly Court.’ I really don’t know much!” Ye Tianchen feigned a sorrowful expression as he spoke.

Wang Luanxiang looked at Ye Tianchen as if she was contemplating many things, then sat down beside him and said, ”Swallow this Gathering Spirit Pill, and soon Spiritual Energy will gather. I didn’t realize you knew nothing about your own legacy; perhaps your master wanted to protect you from danger.”

”Too dangerous? Can you tell me about our legacy? I’m really curious to know!” Ye Tianchen asked with a look of curiosity.

Wang Luanxiang nodded, thinking there was no harm in sharing about their Taoist legacy with Ye Tianchen, since they were merely passing the time. So she began, ”The Heavenly Court is an ancient and untraceable legacy. It’s said that the Heavenly Court’s founder was the Overlord Immortal King, a peerless figure far above other Emperors, capable of slaying gods and killing Immortals. It goes without saying that to this day, no one has reached his level, let alone surpassed it. The establishment of the Heavenly Court gave the Human Clan true status, and it united many powerful Human Clan practitioners. They each performed their duties, elevating the Human Clan, and frequently battled the Ancient Alien Race and Demon Clan. In those days, the Heavenly Court commanded respect, and not even the strongest Ancient Alien Race or Demon Clan dared to defy its authority!”

”The Overlord Immortal King created the Heavenly Court with such aspirations... what, exactly, did he want?” Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but ask, gazing up at the sky.

”Legend has it that the Overlord Immortal King was the most ambitious being of all time. He wanted to lead strong Human Clan practitioners to become Immortal and storm the Immortal Domain. Unfortunately, he failed. It wasn’t that he lacked the power to do so—such an entity who could kill gods and Immortals surely could ascend to the Immortal Domain. That’s a joke. It was simply that those who followed him could not, and without obtaining anything, he couldn’t lead them all to Eternal Life and become Immortal. So, he gave up on becoming Immortal himself...” Wang Luanxiang recounted excitedly. Such a peerless individual stood above all practitioners throughout history. He could ascend to the Immortal Domain, and he had the ambition to bring countless practitioners to immortality. How strong and magnanimous was that?

”Giving up on becoming Immortal, then did he... pass away?” Ye Tianchen couldn’t believe it. A person of such stature, if unwilling, who could take his life? Even the Magic Law powers of heaven and earth couldn’t do it, right?

”I don’t know. Some say he passed away; others say he used the power of defiance to reincarnate, planning to lead all Human Clan practitioners in the next life to Eternal Life and storm the Immortal Domain...” Wang Luanxiang said with a look of longing.

Ye Tianchen was astonished beyond words. The Overlord Immortal King, transcending all practitioners from time immemorial, regardless of how many remarkable figures emerged thereafter to shake the world, had not reached his stature. Nor surpassed it. What was his vision and ambition? Such a realm is too difficult to fathom, isn’t it?

”And what about the Heavenly Court? What happened later?” Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but ask.

”The Heavenly Court shattered during the Overlord Immortal King’s attempt to lead numerous powerful Human Clan practitioners to storm the Immortal World. Many peerless figures fell, including Ancient Saints, Emperor figures, and even dignitaries of the Ancient Alien Race and Heavenly Kings of the Demon Clan. They joined forces to attempt to open the Immortal Domain’s entrance, but it was too tragic. Too many died... After the Overlord Immortal King passed away, the Heavenly Court crumbled. Betrayers and degenerates appeared from within, slaughtering their fellow disciples and seizing the remaining cultivation skills and treasures of the Heavenly Court,” Wang Luanxiang recalled, sharing the legend she had heard with Ye Tianchen.

”Then why do I have something from the Heavenly Court? Wasn’t it shattered? Why does the legacy still exist?” Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but ask.

”The Heavenly Court did shatter, but the legacy was left behind. However, this legacy Heavenly Court is not the same as the Overlord Immortal King’s Heavenly Court. The remaining Heavenly Court only contains portions of the legacy. It’s said that masters took only one disciple, and those who emerged from the Heavenly Court are all brilliant figures of Wan Gu!” Wang Luanxiang said, staring intently at Ye Tianchen.
