Chapter 1535: Trouble in the Heaven Continent
Xu Que looked shocked. His eyes got super-wide as he stared at the scene in front of him.
On the spacious road that they'd been driving on, the void had actually broken up. It wasn't that the road had been broken, but that the void in front of him had broken open and become filled with a scene that didn't belong to this modern world on Earth.
It looked like a mirage, or even a movie, and it was very shocking to see from the void right in front of them.
This would've surprised any ordinary people, but Xu Que became terrified because he recognized that the scene in front of him was actually a scene from the Heaven Continent.
In the scene, wars were raging in the sky, with countless cultivators controlling magical weapons, soaring into the sky and turning into streams of light. Thousands of bright Magic Arts collided in the sky, splashing and bursting, like a shower of fireworks. It was breathtaking.
This was a scene of warfare, terrifying brutal warfare. Because all the silhouettes were densely packed, it was difficult for Xu Que to estimate the exact number of people involved, but he could tell that at least half of all the cultivators in the Heaven Continent must be taking part in this battle. There were cultivators of all different strengths and existences. There were Heaven Celestials, Golden Celestials, Taiyi Celestials, Golden Celestials of the Great All-Embracing Heaven, and even Celestial Kings and Celestial Primes.
Xu Que could catch glimpses of some familiar figures in that large crowd of people.
The Holy Mother of Jade Lake was there, leading many female disciples from her sect, and the Saint, Bai Cailing, was also among them. They were struggling to make use of their Magic Arts, blasting them into the sky and hitting the enemy outside of the scene, in a part of the battle that Xu Que couldn't see.
The Divine Farmer Clan, the Dark Shadow Pagoda Sect, the Fangcun Celestial Sect, and many other sects from all the different realms that Xu Que had ties with were all involved in this war and were all attacking whoever the enemies were that Xu Que couldn't see.
Evidently, this battle had activated all the ancestors of the 14 Celestial Realms in the Heaven Continent.
"What's going on, what does this scene mean?"
Xu Que was horrified that the Heaven Continent was actually taking part in this great battle. Who were they fighting, or...whose invasion were they defending against?
"This..."
At that moment, Xuanyuan Wanrong, who was in the car with Xu Que, also exclaimed, as her expression had instantly become very serious.
She had also seen the scene outside the car, but from her expression, she didn't seem to be very shocked. She seemed to be more anxious and vigilant.
"What's the matter, what is this?" Several roommates from Xu Que's dormitory were sitting in the back of the car. They had also seen what was going on in front of the vehicle and were stunned.
After the initial shock and whiplash had worn off a bit, Boss Lin frowned and asked in a low voice, "This is outrageous. Who put this virtual projection on the roadway?"
"This is not a virtual projection." Xu Que stroked his chin and spoke in a deep voice. His gaze looked toward Xuanyuan Wanrong, and he asked, "Did something happen in the Heaven Continent?"
"Yes, it has happened faster than I had expected..." Xuanyuan Wanrong nodded, but, then halfway through the sentence, her beautiful eyes suddenly became cold, as she stared hard at Xu Que as she asked, "You know the Heaven Continent? You already have memories?"
"I've had them for a long time already. Now is not the time to care about all these details. Quickly tell me about the Heaven Continent!" Xu Que waved his hands and urged her.
The Heaven Continent was in such a mess that he had no desire to keep on pretending. He was just worried about the safety of Jiang Hongyan and the others.
However, with two clever people like Buttface and Duan Jiude around, in addition to the fact that everyone was hiding in that cave, he didn't expect that it would be too dangerous for them.
However, their situation in the cave could only be temporary. Who knew what kind of crisis the Heaven Continent was facing now. If he didn't go back soon, it could be too late to do anything.
"The Heaven Continent has another name. It is also called the Sky Boat." Xuanyuan Wanrong stared at Xu Que for a while with a pale face and spoke slowly, "This is the only continent that can lead to the Divine Realm. If the shackles have already been broken, the other continents will naturally come to fight over the Heaven Continent."
"So they are now fighting against cultivators from other continents? It doesn't seem like that," Xu Que said.
This didn't seem right. According to Zixia Fairy, the Heaven Continent was a continent that had been sealed off for many years, and its strength level was much weaker than its surrounding continents. For example, the strength of the Celestial Cloud Continent was much greater than that of the Heaven Continent. It had four great Celestial Emperors ruling over it.
If the shackles on the Heaven Continent had indeed been broken, it would've been very easy for these continents to occupy the Heaven Continent. There would have been no need to attack like this. All that they would've needed was for a Celestial Emperor or a Celestial Prime strongman to come forward, and the Heaven Continent would've lost without a fight.
But in this situation that was appearing in the void in front of them, the cultivators of the Heaven Continent and the sects from all the 14 Celestial Realms were all united and fighting against foreign enemies, which seemed quite unbelievable.
The people from the Heaven Continent uniting and fighting against foreign enemies? This had never happened before.
"Yes, you're right. This doesn't seem likely." Xuanyuan Wanrong nodded in response to Xu Que's analysis.
The cultivators of the Heaven Continent didn't seem to be fighting cultivators of other continents.
"So what the h*ll is going on now?" Xu Que was baffled.
He had been staring at the scene outside the car, but he could only see the cultivators of the Heaven Continent fighting and not the other areas, such as who the people from the Heaven Continent were fighting against.
"What's going on, what are the two of you talking about?" At this moment, the older student from Xu Que's dormitory interrupted their reverie.
Only now did Xu Que discover that all the people in the car were looking at him and Xuanyuan Wanrong with stunned and confused faces. Evidently, they didn't understand the conversation between the two of them.
Xuanyuan Wanrong ignored them and stared at the scene in front of her. After a while, she said in a deep voice, "If I'm not guessing wrongly, the things that had been sealed in the shackles have appeared."
Hearing this, Xu Que didn't care what the others thought anymore and asked in shock, "What things?"
Xuanyuan Wanrong's words made Xu Que feel a sense of horror. "What did she mean by those things? Did she mean that the Heaven Continent was not fighting against people, but some weird things?"
"After the war between the Gods and the Demons back in the old days, the Divine Realm was sealed. At the same time, in order to protect the Sky Boat, a Divine King got involved and locked everything in shackles, sealing them inside. Hence, there was enough capability to seal up the Sky Boat until the present," Xuanyuan Wanrong said.
Xu Que suddenly rolled his eyes with anxiety. "Although what you are talking about is not irrelevant, what I am most concerned about are those things. What exactly are those things?"
Xuanyuan Wanrong stared at Xu Que with her beautiful eyes, harboring a murderous spirit. If she had been in the Heaven Continent and if her strength as a cultivator was back, she would've definitely given Xu Que a slap.
BUZZ!
At this time, the vibration of a cell phone sounded in the car.
It was Boss Lin's cell phone.
At the moment, she was deeply immersed in the conversation between Xu Que and Xuanyuan Wanrong with a stunned expression on her face. When the call came in, she didn't react immediately and remained looking, shocked, at Xu Que.
Roommate #4 had thought that his own cell phone had been ringing, and he'd taken it out to have a look. He found that there was no call, but seemed to have seen something else. His expression changed suddenly, and he said in surprise, "Sh*t, there is going to be a great change, right?"
"What do you mean?" Several of the other people looked at him.
Xu Que didn't ask Xuanyuan Wanrong what this meant and instead looked at the screen of Roommate #4's phone.
It was opened to a news page with a video attached.
Xu Que's pupils got huge, and he said, "Quick, open the video."
He wasn't feeling calm anymore, because the thumbnail of the video had also sent a projection of the Heaven Continent, but it was a projection from a different angle.
Most important, in that scene Xu Que could see a familiar dog's shadow in the crowd.
