Cultivation Online Chapter 468: Hunted by the Nine Heavens

Chapter 468: Hunted by the Nine Heavens

As an exile, despite holding the Supreme Heavens Legacy, Xiao Hua will be constantly hunted by other cultivators, so she might bring trouble to Brother Yuan. Xiao Hua said to him.

What? Why do you have to be hunted when youre a legacy holder? Yuan asked her with wide eyes.

Because thats how the Celestial Emperor made it. He wanted to make it as difficult as possible for exiles to escape their fate. If it was so easy to complete the legacy, people wouldve escaped the Primordial Realm long ago. However, after millions of years, nobody has managed to achieve true freedom. Xiao Hua said.

Not only are we hunted by everyone in the Nine Heavens, but we also have our strength limited so that we wouldnt be able to ascend too quickly.

Thats... Thats just not fair... Its like theyre treating exiles as animals. Yuan was speechless.

Fortunately, Xiao Hua wont have to worry about being hunted until after the third heaven, where cultivators have the ability to discern those who are exiles.

Is this why Miss Xu warned me to leave Xiao Huas side as soon as possible? Because Xiao Hua will be constantly hunted by others, and if I am with her, I might also get hunted... Yuan finally realized why Xu Jiaqi said what she said at that time.

It turned out that she was only concerned about him.

However, even if the entire world goes after Xiao Hua, Yuan has already decided that he wouldnt abandon her no matter what.

Dont worry, Xiao Hua. Even if the entire world is against you, I will be on your side. In the first place, you didnt do anything wrong. If I ever get a chance to speak with the Celestial Emperor, I am going to give him a piece of my mind and seek justice for you.

Thank you, Brother Yuan. Xiao Hua said, feeling relieved that Yuan didnt decide to abandon her because of her status.

Xiao Hua, do you wish to visit your home? Is that why you asked that girl for the Ancient Seal? Yuan asked her a moment later.

Xiao Hua nodded and said, One cannot leave the Primordial Realm without the Supreme Heavens Legacy, but once they leave, they cannot return to the Primordial Realm without the Ancient Seal.

With the Ancient Seals, one can enter the Primordial Realm as they wish.

I see... Do you think the Four Ancient Families will lend us their Ancient Seals?

Probably not... But it doesnt matter what the Four Ancient Families think. As long as the person holding the Ancient Seal is willing, they can hand over the Ancient Seal. Xiao Hua said.

Oh? Who is currently holding the Ancient Seals? We wont know unless we try. Yuan said, sounding a little enthusiastic.

Xiao Hua shook her head and said, Xiao Hua only knows that each family has one person holding the Ancient Seal, but that persons identity is very secretive, and only important figures in the families would hold such information.

Furthermore, the person holding the Ancient Seal can be anywhere in the Nine Heavens. For example, there could be a seal holder in the third heaven while the other seal holders are in the other heavens. After all, the Four Ancient Families exist all over the Nine Heavens.

What? So youre telling me that there could be a seal holder in the Supreme Heaven? That makes things even more complicated... Yuan sighed.

Yes, but the four Ancient Seal holders will gather in the same location once every 10 years to make sure that everybody still has their seal. If we can find out the location and time of their next meeting, perhaps we might be able to meet all of them at once. Xiao Hua said.

But just meeting them wont do any good. We need to convince them to lend us their Ancient Seals too, and that will probably be the hardest part.

Brother Yuan, we should forget about this for now. Theres no point looking for the Ancient Seals now. Even if we somehow acquire it now, we wont be able to go there, she said.

Eh? Why not? Yuan asked.

Because Brother Yuan is too weak. If we go there now, you will most definitely die.

What? The Primordial Realm is that dangerous? I thought it was your home? Yuans eyes widened with surprise.

Yes, that is where Xiao Huas family is located, but there are other exiles living there as well, not to mention the chaotic energy in that world. Its called the Primordial Realm mainly because of the chaotic energy thats very common in the Primordial Era, and if one doesnt have sufficient cultivation, they will be crushed to death just by being around that chaotic energy.

Wow... Doesnt this mean everybody living inside the Primordial Realm are incredibly powerful cultivators? Yuan asked.

Xiao Hua nodded and said, They are so powerful that when babies are born, they already have the cultivation base of a Spirit Lord.

What! Born as a Spirit Lord?! People can be born as cultivators?! Yuan was shocked when he heard this, as this is his first time hearing such information.

Yes. In the upper heavens, many people are born already with a cultivation base because their parents help them by nurturing them with spiritual energy even before they are born.

Heavens... Now I really want to go to the Primordial Realm... Yuan mumbled to himself.

Sometime later, Yuan returned to studying the Ancient-rank technique until Yu Rou and the others returned.

Sorry, it took so long, brother. There were just so many techniques to look at and we didnt know what we wanted. Yu Rou apologized to him afterward.

I dont mind, Yuan said.

Since youre back, does this mean youre finally finished? What kind of cultivation techniques did you guys pick? Yuan asked them, and he could see each of them holding onto scrolls.

Well, we picked a lot, but were not sure if we want them just yet since we still need to see if we can afford them. Yu Rou said.
