Chapter 701: The Past of the Divine Monarch

“The power of the king!”

In the audience, Gong Haili felt increasingly astonished as she watched more and more students stand up, filled with righteous anger. Her face turned pale. “Tiankai is powerful to this extent! While I always sensed she was different from others, I never expected her to be the reincarnation of the king!”

“This is bad. People already have a generally negative view of True Spirits, and Tiankai is so flamboyant, confronting the Divine Monarch, whom no one has ever met…”

The reincarnation of a king of the Manifest Realm into a human, practicing human race techniques, was no small matter. Many would view her as a threat, and she had a premonition that something significant would happen in the future!

A matter serious enough to affect Zixue Academy!

Tiankai is a True Spirit and a king, capable of handling such significant matters, but she herself might not be. So her feeling was unusually ominous!

“Haili, what’s wrong? Why do you look so pale?”

“Who?!”

The suddenly loud voice startled Gong Haili. She reacted sharply, throwing a punch in response.

How had someone approached her silently?

This was too dangerous. For someone with unmatched potential like Gong Haili, her Battle Instincts kicked in, and without any thought, she retaliated instinctively!

Such a counter was undoubtedly for her own protection; otherwise, even a brief moment of hesitation in an actual fight could lead to defeat.

Throwing a strike could at least offset some power, reducing her own injury.

And anyone capable of approaching her side would not be easily affected by that punch.

“Bang!”

Her fist was caught, all her strength absorbed without causing even the slightest ripple, leaving Gong Haili in disbelief.

What seemed like an ordinary strike had all its power finely concentrated, capable of easily piercing through a Powerful Figure’s self-Mystic Heaven!

Absorbing the strength of that strike so casually was not something just anyone could do!

Gong Haili felt a flutter in her heart and suddenly sensed countless gazes upon her.

She turned to look.

With green hair, green eyes, and a blue robe, the gentle aura drew immense attention.

Wasn’t this the boy in blue robe, Liu Sheng?

Gong Haili smiled brightly. “President, you’re back!”

“Yes, I’m back, but it seems I missed out on something interesting. The Trials of the Heavenly Path are a great opportunity to gather fortune, and I ended up not participating.” The boy in blue robe smiled in the sunlight, showing no hint of regret.

“It’s not just that you missed something interesting; even the Divine Monarch has appeared! Tiankai will surely shake the world!”

“A king of the Manifest Realm reincarnating into a human race has no chance of regret. It’s impossible to return to the form of a celestial fox. Even if one opens a cave, they would only live for ten thousand years…”

“She is here to become a True Immortal!”

As soon as Tiankai was mentioned, Gong Haili sighed deeply.

This matter was far too troublesome!

“Indeed, how could such an ancient king of the Manifest Realm come out to challenge us young people? Cultivating for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years, how can that compare to just a few decades of practice? It’s truly frightening!”

Yun Ye nodded seriously, adding weight to the conversation.

The reincarnation of the king is actually quite unreasonable.

His reincarnation does not carry any of the fruits from his previous life, and starting over requires vast resources. Without a backup plan, there is also the risk of falling.

But Tiankai is different; she can borrow the power of the king at any time, and her strength will continue to return as she practices human race techniques.

Is this a flawless supreme reincarnation technique?

If the king can reincarnate like this, perhaps he can easily achieve the Mystic Realm’s Open Heaven.

Few cultivators in the current Celestial Empire can achieve Mystic Realm Open Heaven, but there are many kings among the True Spirit races, and besides Dream Princess, there are several other Monarchs.

It’s important to know that demons and monsters cultivate their bodies and master a large dimension through their forms, which is not fundamentally a Conceptual Body.

Even when Lack of Shadow ascends to become a king, his body is still made up of individual cells that can continue to evolve and elevate further.

But the Honored Beings of the human race cannot do this; once they complete their Conceptual Body, they study their mastery over concepts without distinction between body and soul.

“It cannot be crossed too absurdly; the king is merely a result of past accumulation, and it may not be impossible to surpass… it’s just that right now, she can indeed be called invincible. Participating in the Mystic Realm trials with the fruits of the king’s path, even the Divine Monarch will make an appearance!”

Gong Haili is among the most gifted of her generation, and she cannot accept defeat just because she lost once. Nor can she back down due to the king’s title.

What will happen in the future is still uncertain!

“That’s true.”

Yun Ye nodded silently. Although he could tell that Tiankai was not simple, maintaining fighting spirit is a good thing; one’s own accumulation will not deceive oneself.

“President, do you think Tiankai can win?”

Gong Haili asked.

“The potential between the king’s Open Heaven and Mystic Realm Open Heaven is no different. While there may be qualitative differences in cumulative amounts, she can win. Yes, she cannot lose.”

Yun Ye shook his head, and without even needing to glance into the future, he knew Tiankai was destined to win.

“How could that be…”

Gong Haili found it hard to accept the possibility of the Divine Monarch being defeated.

“After all, it’s just a preliminary Open Heaven. Given the Divine Monarch’s past accumulation, it’s incredibly thin; it’s merely a hasty response to a crisis. If it weren’t for the Red Heaven True Immortal Law, it would likely have ended in failure, and such a wondrous story would not have followed.”

Yun Ye knew best that, although he successfully cultivated the Ten Heavenly Arts with the Power of Rules of Slaughter, only the Ten Heavenly Arts of one law realm can be called stunning, with not too many powerful physiques or bloodlines. The Sacred Body of the Heavenly Stem is also something that was gradually completed later, not something that was fully formed from the beginning.

Compared to the God Destruction Clan, which was fully prepared, using the finest resources as the foundation for Opening Heaven and Earth, Yun Ye was at a disadvantage. Even if the Ten Heavenly Arts themselves were extraordinarily powerful, they could not dominate everything, especially since the powers of the Twelve Earthly Branches exceed those of the Ten Heavenly Arts.

“Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!”

The sound of bells echoed.

Unlike all the other caves, Tiankai’s Opening Heaven appeared completely flat or seemed to be flat.

It started with a beam of light piercing through the void, continuously splitting outward. The scene resembled the hands of a clock moving, starting from the twelve o’clock position pointing to the sky, rotating clockwise. With each turn, her aura would surge, and the power belonging to the Twelve Earthly Branches would become clearer.

This amplification of power caused the force erupting from the Heavenly Stem Cave to be momentarily stagnated with each turn, as if time itself had slowed down.

The Heavenly Stem Cave was already initiating the Great Annihilation, its power collapsing and contracting, threatening to tear apart the Earthly Branch Cave.

But the Great Annihilation was halted, gradually losing its collapsing power and being forcibly terminated!

“Sharing my origin and targeting my cave techniques—how amusing, those future demons… No, if I were to consider it, it should be a True Spirit!”

Shui Changdong unexpectedly engaged in conversation, indicating that he actually possessed the ability to think and was not merely following programmed actions.

“Divine Monarch, it seems you had already planned to completely dismantle the demons!”

Tiankai’s pupils contracted. Although she did not care much for demons or True Spirits, being in the midst of it made her powerless; she could not simply look after herself!
