CHAPTER 491: CHAPTER 473 CELESTIAL GOD LIST

"This is the map leading to Celestial God Peak. The distance is vast, and many perilous events will occur. Nine Cloud told me he will send Blazing Fire Saint Venerable to protect you all the way, so don’t worry."

The Qing Si Divine Master handed a scroll to Wang Xu, on which the route to Celestial God Peak was recorded.

Wang Xu opened the scroll and glanced over it briefly.

"It’s actually so far."

Wang Xu thought to himself.

According to the map, Celestial God Peak is located at the very center of the "Taiyang Divine Continent."

The Taiyang Divine Continent, also known as the "Chaos Core."

This is an existence distinct from a "small continent" or "great continent," being a true "Chaos Divine Continent."

In the entire chaos, there are only five Chaos Divine Continents, situated in the east, west, south, north, with Taiyang Divine Continent at the central core of chaos.

Celestial God Peak, originally just a floating continent in the wilderness.

But it was on this desolate floating continent that a forgotten ancient ruin appeared once, containing an abundance of heaven-shocking secret collections!

Numerous super strong contenders came upon hearing, wanting to seize the heaven-shocking secret collections.

But they were distressed to find that this forgotten ancient ruin only allowed Celestial God Realm individuals to enter!

And divided into the Initial Celestial God Realm, Hundred Generations Celestial God Realm, Eternal Generations Celestial God Realm, and Billion Era Celestial God Realm, four different worlds.

To obtain the heaven-shocking secret collections within, nations and tribes, divine sects and divine dynasties, endless forces all dispatched their most talented Celestial God Realm individuals to enter and contend for ownership of the heaven-shocking secret collections.

Over time, in the long river of history, the heaven-shocking secret collections were thoroughly plundered, leaving only an empty forgotten ancient ruin.

Just when everyone was about to abandon it and search for other forgotten ancient ruins, a massive golden paper fell from the sky.

This was the Celestial God List!

The Celestial God List hung in the void, radiating golden light over all heaven and earth.

The names of Celestial God individuals appeared one by one; they were the strongest entities among the various tiers of the Celestial God Realm.

The golden paper emitted an incredibly majestic voice, allowing all chaos to clearly hear these names ranked on the Celestial God List.

But it was merely a name broadcasted in chaos, initially not garnering much attention.

However, after a long period, someone began researching the names of those on the Celestial God List and recorded their conditions.

Finally, he obtained a shocking result—

Those ranked on the Celestial God List, as long as they survived, ultimately all became renowned kings in their domains.

Even those at the bottom of the Celestial God Realm rankings could at least achieve the Saint Venerable Dominator Realm, creating a piece of dominance!

This matter once stirred attention, causing many to focus on the existence of the Celestial God List.

But what truly shook everyone was a major event that happened later.

The thirteenth Great Emperor was born!

When the Great Emperor appeared, chaos erupted, and when they heard his name, many were shocked.

Because this Great Emperor, back in the day, was the top of the Billion Era Celestial God on the Celestial God List!

This seemed quite far-fetched in the eyes of many, but it genuinely caught the attention of numerous super strong beings.

From then on, the fight for the Celestial God List began.

"Wang Xu, as you go to contend for the Celestial God List this time, have no scruples, unleash your true strength, and engrave your name upon the Celestial God List!"

The Qing Si Divine Master powerfully patted Wang Xu’s shoulder.

Wang Xu nodded seriously.

"Master, I want to ask you a question, but I don’t know if..."

Wang Xu suddenly recalled a question, hesitated for a while, and spoke up.

"Ask away, I’ll definitely tell you whatever I know."

The Qing Si Divine Master smiled.

"I am your second direct disciple, and I have a senior named ’Teng He.’ Rumor has it he’s already made it onto the Celestial God List; I wonder how he’s doing now?"

Teng He, the legendary disciple of the Imperial Extreme Divine Sect.

With stunning talent, he ascended the Celestial Tier, becoming the first direct disciple of the Imperial Extreme Divine Master.

Later, he went to Celestial God Peak to participate in the Celestial God List contest and successfully stood out among countless Celestial Gods, ranking on the Celestial God List.

But what happened after the glory was never known again.

Wang Xu had heard rumors about it.

Some said Teng He, after being ranked on the Celestial God List, was appreciated by a super strong entity, leaving the Imperial Extreme Divine Sect to join that super strong entity.

Others said Teng He was killed by a strong contender on the return journey, falling on the spot.

There were even claims that the story about Teng He was completely fabricated, just to inspire later disciples of the Imperial Extreme, and didn’t exist at all.

But no matter what, the fact remained: after the Celestial God List contest ended, there was no more news of Teng He.

"Sigh..."

The Divine Master in Green heard this, his eyes dimmed, and he uttered a long sigh, "I originally intended to seal this matter away in history, never to mention it again. But since you want to know, I can tell you, I just hope it won’t affect you."

Upon hearing these words, Wang Xu’s curiosity was slightly piqued.

What did Teng He’s matter involve that would impact him if spoken about?

"Teng He was my first disciple, exceptionally talented, one of the rare prodigious geniuses I’ve encountered in my life."

The Divine Master in Green slowly said, "I taught him the ’Emperor’s Extreme Divine Suppression Record’, the Constant Power Cultivation Method, and also told him about the Ancient Flesh Body. Needless to say, his talent was extraordinary. He took only a few thousand years to cultivate the ’Emperor’s Extreme Divine Suppression Record’ to the Third Realm, which greatly surprised me."

A genius indeed!

Wang Xu immediately thought of these two words upon hearing this section.

Teng He, under such scarce Constant Force, took just a few thousand years to break through to the Third Realm of the ’Emperor’s Extreme Divine Suppression Record’. For Wang Xu, without the help of You Ji, even given thousands or tens of thousands of years, he would not touch the threshold of the Third Realm!

"Later, to prove himself and to witness a broader chaos, he went to the Celestial God Peak to compete with countless people in the Celestial God Realm for a place on the Celestial God List."

The Divine Master in Green had a reminiscent look in his eyes. "He succeeded, fought a path of blood in the brutal Celestial God Peak, made the Celestial God List acknowledge his strength, and was listed among them."

"However... trouble followed."

The Divine Master in Green’s expression was complicated. "Teng He’s outstanding performance attracted the attention of a super strong individual, someone in the Heaven-Reaching Ancestor Realm. In the eyes of such a powerful being, the Imperial Extreme Divine Sect was but a mere ant, a mere breath could wipe it off the Red Sun Divine Continent."

The recruitment of a super strong individual... the rumor was true.

Wang Xu thought quietly.

But the Divine Master in Green changed his tone, and the subsequent content shook Wang Xu to his core.

"It’s hard to believe, but under the olive branch extended by the Heaven-Reaching Ancestor Realm individual, Teng He did not choose to take him as a master, instead he chose to stay in the Imperial Extreme Divine Sect... Teng He was a person of deep feelings, but a Heaven-Reaching Ancestor person was not. He sent people with a single message: ’Either give up Teng He, or destroy Imperial Extreme.’ I was unable to decide, I could not abandon either Imperial Extreme or Teng He."

The Divine Master in Green’s expression showed pain.

Wang Xu, however, clenched his fists tightly.

Reality, this was the bare reality!

This is a world dominated by the strong. Without power, one can’t even protect their own disciples!

"I couldn’t make a decision, was in distress, but Teng He somehow learned of the matter, left a letter, and left the Imperial Extreme Divine Sect. Since then, I have not seen him again..."

The Divine Master in Green said these words lightly, but Wang Xu could imagine how painful it was for his mentor at that time.

To choose between the disciple he loved the most and the Imperial Extreme Divine Sect that he had built up from scratch...

In the end, the disciple left on his own to protect the Imperial Extreme Divine Sect...

The Divine Master in Green could only watch all this happen helplessly, unable to do anything. That kind of pain was identical to what Wang Xu felt when he lost his family.

"I’ve never spoken to anyone about this past because I feel it’s the disgrace of my life. Because of this, I severed the thought of accepting more disciples, and focused on returning to the Cyan Brahma Realm, living a life detached from worldly affairs."

The Divine Master in Green bitterly smiled, "Wang Xu, do you think I, as a Master, was not at all competent?"

"No."

Wang Xu earnestly replied, "You are a good teacher. I believe in Teng He’s heart, your position has never wavered."

"Haha... let’s not talk about the past, as for the matters of the Celestial God Peak, there are many rules or taboos you must keep in mind..."

The Divine Master in Green laughed and began to admonish Wang Xu on the taboos of the trip to the Celestial God Peak.

...

A month later.

Wang Xu bid farewell to the three women, and the Divine Master in Green, boarded the Blazing Fire Saint Venerable’s flying Supreme Treasure and left the Imperial Extreme Divine Sect.

"Qing Si, this is a promising seedling. Perhaps on this journey, he might really be listed on the Celestial God List. Aren’t you afraid the Teng He incident will happen to him again?"

The Nine Cloud Saint Venerable was evidently aware of Teng He’s past as well.

"That’s his original intention."

The Divine Master in Green said, "Wang Xu’s biggest wish is to climb onto the Celestial God List, gain the favor of someone in the Heaven-Reaching Ancestor Realm, and have them help him salvage souls from the Ganges River to revive his family."

"Is there such a thing?"

The Nine Cloud Saint Venerable was slightly surprised.

"In this respect, you and I are not as good as him. Wang Xu is someone with great ambitions, and his future achievements will definitely surpass ours."

The Divine Master in Green said meaningfully.

"Teng He left, Wang Xu left, Qing Si you are alone again. Why not take in a few more disciples?"

The Nine Cloud Saint Venerable never understood why the Divine Master in Green had taken only two direct disciples all these years.

It should be known, under someone in the Saint Venerable Dominator Realm, there are usually hundreds or thousands of talented disciples. Like the Nine Cloud Saint Venerable, in the Nine Cloud Divine Sect alone, there are more than three hundred direct disciples, each one a top-notch talent.

This broad-net approach is quite normal.

Once the disciples grow up, they become a significant help, gaining prosperity for the sect, and immense benefits for oneself.

However, the Divine Master in Green took a reverse approach. Although both Teng He and Wang Xu were prodigious talents, placing hope on just two disciples was still too risky.

"Disciples? From the beginning to the end, I never thought about taking disciples. What I took in were family members..."

The Divine Master in Green gently smiled. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations or monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users please read on m.qidian.com.)
