Chapter 3038: Bradley Clark

"Heavenly Emperor Sir, we will definitely not divulge this matter!"

The group of elders from the Vanished Heaven’s Imperial Palace, led by the Immortal Emperor of Heavenly Grass, Aldo Morgan, all lowered their heads and declared, after sensing the killing intent flashing in Breezy Wind’s eyes.

At the same time, thinking of the scenes they just witnessed, their hearts tightened:

Their Heavenly Emperor Sir, after ascension, merely with an Earth-attribute Law Rule Avatar, killed the Opposecenter Immortal Emperor Quincy Holland, who is at the level of a First-class Immortal Emperor!

Mind you, Opposecenter Immortal Quincy Holland was a renowned First-class Immortal Emperor in Vanished Heaven, one of the strongest among the First-class Immortal Emperors of Vanished Heaven.

Also...

If they remember correctly:

Their Heavenly Emperor Sir seemed not to be most proficient in the Earth Law, but rather in the Rule of Destruction?

The battle at Vanished Heaven’s Imperial Palace quickly spread far and wide.

In the past, the Vanished Heaven’s Heavenly Emperor, the Burning Heavenly Immortal Emperor ’Breezy Wind,’ returned from the Asura Hell, one of the seven deadly lands of the Celestial Planes, battled Opposecenter Immortal Quincy Holland, killed him, and reclaimed the position of the Heavenly Emperor!

Once this matter spread, it immediately caused a huge stir among the Immortal Sovereigns and Immortal Emperors of Vanished Heaven!

Simultaneously, as time passed, more and more people learned of this event.

"The Return of Breezy Wind Heavenly Emperor, killing Quincy Holland... it seems he gained fortune from misfortune upon entering the Asura Hell, his strength further enhanced, otherwise it would’ve been impossible to kill Quincy Holland!"

"Previously, Quincy’s strength was far inferior to Breezy Wind Heavenly Emperor, but now Quincy Holland’s strength was already not weaker than the former Breezy Wind Heavenly Emperor who had no Heavenly Artifact to rely on... under such circumstances, he was still killed, which shows how much Breezy Wind Heavenly Emperor’s strength has been enhanced. Mind you, the current Breezy Wind Heavenly Emperor has no Heavenly Artifact to rely on."

"Currently, in terms of strength, Breezy Wind Heavenly Emperor could probably rank among the top ten in the List of Heavenly Emperors!"

...

The incident of Breezy Wind killing Quincy Holland shocked many Immortal Emperors in Vanished Heaven, some even felt Breezy Wind’s current strength could place him in the top ten of the List of Heavenly Emperors.

The List of Heavenly Emperors is a ranking list recording the strength of heaven emperors across all celestial planes, with the list always having only eighty-one people, representing eighty-one heavenly emperors of the celestial planes.

Breezy Wind’s strength was originally ranked eighteenth on the List of Heavenly Emperors, because he possessed a Heavenly Artifact.

If he did not have a Heavenly Artifact, he wouldn’t be ranked so highly.

Moreover, the Heavenly Artifact he held was considered one of the most powerful artifacts among the celestial planes, once known as the First Divine Sword of Celestial Planes.

In those years, Breezy Wind could defeat the former Heavenly Emperor of Vanished Heaven precisely because he gained the recognition of the Extinguished Burning Heavenly Sword and received its assistance.

Breezy Wind had not obtained a title from the Divine Temple, but according to the rules of the Divine Temple, apart from acquiring a title at the Divine Temple, there’s another way to obtain a title:

That is, defeating or killing a Heavenly Emperor of a celestial plane, replacing them, and becoming the new Heavenly Emperor of that celestial plane.

If so, the Divine Temple would grant him a title.

Breezy Wind’s title, indeed, came from this.

The title ’Burning Heaven,’ was not chosen by Breezy Wind himself, but given by the Divine Temple, deriving from the ’Burning Heaven’ of the Extinguished Burning Heavenly Sword in his hand.

If the Heavenly Emperors of Vanished Heaven knew Breezy Wind had ascended, they surely wouldn’t just feel Breezy Wind’s strength could only be in the top ten of the List of Heavenly Emperors.

Bear in mind, on the List of Heavenly Emperors, only one Heavenly Emperor has ascended, even the one ranked second or third is merely a demigod.

Because of Breezy Wind’s deliberate concealment, apart from his trusted subordinates, no one knew about his ascension.

As for why he wanted to conceal his ascension, only he knows.

"Heavenly Emperor Sir, are you concealing your ascension because of the Divine Temple?"

Suspended on an island in the dark space of Vanished Heaven’s Imperial Palace, Heavenly Grass Immortal Emperor ’Aldo Morgan’ stood upright in front of the small wooden cabin, asking the white-robed youth sitting at the wooden table.

"Aldo, some things are best kept to oneself... no need to say them out loud."

The white-robed youth, who had reclaimed the position of Vanished Heaven’s Heavenly Emperor, Breezy Wind, slightly lifted his head, and glanced at Aldo.

"Yes."

Upon hearing these words, Aldo immediately shut his mouth, and when he spoke again, he changed the subject, "Heavenly Emperor Sir, how did you emerge from Asura Hell?"

Asura Hell, one of the seven deadly lands across the celestial planes, and deemed one of the deadliest among those lands.

According to speculation by some:

Among the eighty-one heavenly emperors of the celestial planes, likely only the three heavenly emperors ranked in the top three of the List of Heavenly Emperors could emerge alive from Asura Hell.

Among them, one heavenly emperor has ascended, while the other two have half a foot in the realm of the gods as demigods!

"I wouldn’t say I emerged from Asura Hell."

Breezy Wind said calmly: "My true self is still trapped inside... only my Rule of Destruction Avatar and Earth-attribute Law Rule Avatar are out."

"Even so, it was already good fortune... otherwise, I would’ve perished inside long ago!"

Despite his intention to maintain a calm tone, Aldo could clearly sense the fear in Breezy Wind’s words.

Moreover, Aldo speculated the Asura Hell’s danger is such that even gods might have fallen inside.

Otherwise, why else would his Heavenly Emperor Sir, who has ascended, watch as his true self remains trapped inside?

"Asura Hell... is it really that terrifying?"

Aldo was astounded.

"Far more terrifying than you can imagine."

Breezy Wind’s tone remained calm, but his hands involuntarily clenched into fists, and cold sweat began to seep from his palms.

"Heavenly Emperor, your... your Rule Avatar of destruction law?"

Aldo Morgan asked.

He remembered that this Heavenly Emperor had comprehended all the mysteries of the destruction law before understanding all the mysteries of the earth-attribute law. After becoming a deity, he surely condensed a Rule Avatar of destruction law!

"It’s gone to take care of some matters."

Breezy Wind said.

...

Lingluo Heaven.

Within the South Heaven’s Borderlands, in the Mystic Abyss Mansion.

Bao Pu Immortal Sect, as one of the three sects and two clans within Mystic Abyss Mansion, is closely connected to it, controlling many middle-grade immortal crystal veins.

And the location of Bao Pu Immortal Sect’s residence is at the center surrounded by these middle-grade immortal crystal veins, where a massive Spirit Gathering Array gathers the spiritual energy from over a dozen middle-grade immortal crystal veins into Bao Pu Immortal Sect’s residence.

Under such circumstances, the richness of spiritual energy at Bao Pu Immortal Sect far surpasses the outside world, making it a Holy Land for cultivation.

Of course, the spiritual energy in Bao Pu Immortal Sect’s sect residence is not equally rich everywhere.

In some places, the richness of spiritual energy is more than five times that of most places!

"Vice Sect Leader Sir!"

"Vice Sect Leader Sir!"

...

Wyatt Barnes followed Bao Pu Immortal Sect’s Vice Sect Leader Grant Graham into Bao Pu Immortal Sect, and along the way, the Bao Pu Immortal Sect patrol disciples respectfully saluted Grant Graham.

Meanwhile, many curious eyes fell on Wyatt Barnes, wondering about the identity of this young man accompanying Grant Graham.

What kind of identity does this young man possess to receive such courteous treatment from the Vice Sect Leader of Bao Pu Immortal Sect and to be allowed to walk side by side with him?

"Master Uncle."

Suddenly, a voice came from afar.

A young man dressed in green swiftly appeared from the distance, arriving before Wyatt Barnes’s group in the blink of an eye.

Upon appearing in front of Wyatt Barnes and the others, the man respectfully bowed to Grant Graham.

"Clark, has your master already been informed of our return?"

Grant Graham smiled and asked upon seeing the newcomer.

"That’s right."

The newcomer nodded, "My master asked me to invite Master Uncle and Little Brother Wyatt Barnes to meet him... As for the others, I’ll make arrangements."

After speaking, the man looked towards Wyatt Barnes standing beside Grant Graham, "I suppose this must be Little Brother Wyatt Barnes?"

Ever since the man appeared, Wyatt Barnes had felt the occasional sidelong glance flickering over him, mingled with a sense of jealousy in the depths of the newcomer’s eyes.

Now, as the man looked directly at him, the jealousy intensified into resentment!

"Who is this person? I’ve never seen him before, yet he resents me so?"

"Jealousy? What’s he jealous of?"

"Resentment? What’s he resenting me for?"

Wyatt Barnes felt bewildered.

Nevertheless, faced with the man’s hollow greeting, he simply nodded back mildly as a polite gesture.

"Wyatt Barnes, this is ’Bradley Clark,’ the third disciple under Bao Pu Immortal Sect’s current Sect Leader... Let’s go meet the Sect Leader now."

Grant Graham glanced at Wyatt Barnes and smiled.

In the next moment, he looked at Bradley Clark, "Clark, the others are in your hands."

"Yes, Master Uncle."

As Bradley Clark’s gaze returned to Grant Graham, the resentment in the depths of his eyes vanished.

"Elder Brother Wyatt Barnes, you are the first in Bao Pu Immortal Sect’s history to be deemed a ’true disciple’ even before stepping through the gate."

Just as Wyatt Barnes was about to follow Grant Graham away, Bradley Clark’s voice reached him.

When the term ’true disciple’ surfaced, Wyatt Barnes seemed to hear a gritting of teeth from Bradley Clark.

"True disciple?!"

As Bradley Clark’s words fell, not only did several Bao Pu Immortal Sect patrol disciples express their astonishment, but even the members following Grant Graham to Cloud Mist Lake, along with a group preparing to enter Bao Pu Immortal Sect, were also startled:

"His words mean... Wyatt Barnes, before even entering Bao Pu Immortal Sect, has been designated as a true disciple by Bao Pu Immortal Sect?"

"Being a true disciple of Bao Pu Immortal Sect entails significant privileges... Besides, under the current Sect Leader of Bao Pu Immortal Sect, only two disciples are true disciples, right?"

...
