Title: Celestial Mountain
.....
The Myriad Islands was like an independent stand-alone world, ruled by the Myriad God Sovereign.
The Myriad God Sovereign was merely a title. No one knew who it was who first established the islands, and if the Myriad God Sovereign was a single person, or a title passed down the generations.
The Myriad God Sovereign was like the God of the Myriad Islands, with the faith and belief of everyone who lived on the islands.
On the Myiard Islands, the place where the sovereign was rumored to be at, was none other than the legendary ground - the Celestial Mountain!
There were many places on the Myriad Islands with the name Celestial Mountain but as for the Celestial Mountain of the legends, there was only one.
This towering Celestial Mountain was something created by the Myriad God Sovereign himself. It's an incredibly lofty place and to many people living there, it was a place of legends.
The reason why the Myriad Islands were able to prohibit Outer realms Kings and Emperors from entering and cause some trepidation to them was all because of this legendary place, the Celestial Mountain!
The Celestial Mountain, just that Celestial Mountain, seemed to have always existed. Everyone could see it, but nobody could reach it.
Every year, every month, every day, there would be people dying on the journey over to there.
At this moment at the foot of the Celestial Mountain, several figures could be seen. Their eyes were all on the horizons, staring at that phantom-like misty Celestial Mountain.
It seemed just right before their eyes, yet it felt so far and there was only a single path leading to it. The path of seeking the devil… this path has buried an unknown amount of people but there would still be everyone attempting it everyday, wanting to reach the legendary mountain.
Naturally, since there was a path there, it was destined that someone would succeed eventually.
In the air, within the mountain gate of the Celestial Mountain, this legendary place didn't seem to be any different from the external world, instead, it was like a whole world on its own that stretched as far as the eyes could see.
There were imposing halls everywhere and the atmosphere was immensely solemn.
One of the halls exuded a simple and ancient aura. However, the feeling it gave was actually extremely peaceful, without a hint of the tyranny of the devil path.
And just outside this palace, many figures were respectfully kneeling there. The identities of these people would cause everyone immense shock in the external world, many of them were peak geniuses of the Myriad Islands of the past and there were even Emperors amongst them.
But it was precisely these people who came all the way here and were kneeling down right now. Nobody felt it was strange, everyone knew that it was only natural because this place was the Celestial Mountain, the legendary place which was the closest to the Myriad God Sovereign.
This Celestial Mountain was the totem of faith for everyone on the Myriad Islands.
"You guys must have come to the wrong place." At this moment, a figure appeared, standing on the stairway leading up to the hall.
His looks were ordinary, and his clothing was simple. But just a glance at him would cause you to be unable to forget him simply because his demeanor was simply too outstanding.
One's demeanor was naturally formless, indescribable and unexplainable but this young man in simple clothing had that certain gravitas to his demeanor. By standing there, he seemed extremely common, but then again, not at all.
"This hall doesn't accept members." The young man smiled. His voice was very gentle, like the wind and clouds, as he spoke to the kneeling people.
"Please accept us." One among those who were kneeling stood up and spoke.
"Since you all managed to enter the Celestial Mountain, it means that you all have fate here. However, your destiny clearly doesn't lie in this hall. You all should go to the Sky Devil Hall instead, you might like things there." The young man smiled.
The eyes of everyone flashed in excitement, and after that, they prostrated themselves, "Thank you."
After that, they left the nearby area and headed off directly.
Since there was someone who came out and said they had no fate with that hall, they naturally really didn't have any fate with it.
People of the Celestial Mountain most probably wouldn't lie to them.
"None caught your eye?" Another voice drifted over, speaking to the young man. The speaker was a skinny old man who appeared all of a sudden, like stepping right out from the void.
"Caught my eye or didn't catch my eye, what does it matter?" The young man replied.
"If someone among them caught your eye, you could have accepted them as your apprentice." The old man calmly stated.
Apprentices were naturally subordinates, and if it was in the Myraid islands and there were people saying to accept devil Kings and Emperors as apprentices, everyone would surely laugh until their teeth dropped off.
However, the young man merely shook his head in a relaxed manner as he calmly replied, "I don't need any."
"That's true too. If you need some, you can go to the Sky Devil Hall to choose." The old man laughed.
"What about the Judiciary Hall?" The young man smiled.
"The temper of those from the Judiciary Hall are the worst. It's best not to go there." The old man also smiled.
"In that case, forget it then." The young man seemed to find it a pity. "This time I'm going down the mountain, do you have any instructions for me?"
"Sigh. It's already that time again." The old man said and looked into the horizon with a nostalgic look in his eyes. "Those brats from that clan would be coming here around this time. Anyways, Since you can go down the mountain, you can do whatever you want to." The old man spoke.
"I initially thought you would want me to kill all those who came from the outer realms." The young man laughed, as though speaking of a very insignificant matter.
This place was very far from the Fallen Island. It was extremely extremely far, light years wouldn't even be enough to describe the distance, but this young man seemed to know that many from outer realms have entered the Myriad Islands.
This seemed incredible, but it was a fact that he knew, and his information was very accurate.
The reason for this was because this place, was the legendary Celestial Mountain. Everyone one here was atleast an Emperor ranked figure, not to mention someone as outstanding as him.
"Why kill all?" The old man asked.
"For these peak geniuses who came here, if we kill them all, it would definitely result in less True emperors in the future. After all, only people with potential to surmount the lower realms are capable of entering the islands." That young man replied.
{A/N: By lower realms he means power level below 300M}
"Under the gaze of the Myriad God Sovereign, if we slay those people because simply we are wary of the future, it would be a form of disrespect to the Myriad God Sovereign. You should have understood long ago that a true expert wouldn't depend on things like weakening their opponents. If one wants to truly be the strongest of the strongest, they naturally would need to have sufficiently powerful opponents to contend against."
"I naturally understand this." The young man nodded.
"You can go down the mountain now." The old man nodded.
"Maybe, I might even roam the Outer realms." The young man didn't leave straight away as he spoke.
"Do what you want to." The old man turned and departed while the young man also left the mountain.
…
In the Fallen God Region, the army of the Vast Sky Emperor was still stationed there, and caused a huge commotion all around, causing news of their arrival to spread throughout.
The news of the death of Old Kan caused the entire Fallen God Island to tremble. The hearts of many people had huge waves in them, the old friend of the Fallen God Emperor, the powerful Old Kan actually died because of a brat at the chakra sea realm.
Many people asked those who had attended the birthday banquet what happened exactly. When those people reminisced, they were also filled with sighs.
They could still remember how imposing Old Kan was, and remember Shun who rejected the reward with a heart filled with unwillingness.
At that time, Old man Kan bullied Shun because he was weak and didn't have a powerful background to depend on.
To think that now, the reversal came so fast. Shun brought another emperor here and took his life away.
Recently, the Royal Devil clan was extremely low profile. It might be possible that Shun wasn't clear but how could people of the Fallen God Island not know that one of the three devil kings sent to hunt Shun down, was from the Royal Devil clan?
Since this was the case, how would the Royal Devil clan dare to not keep a low profile?
But what will be known, will still eventually be made known. Today, Shun entered the Royal Devil clan with over ten devil kings beside him.
Since the Vast Sky Emperor promised to help him, he naturally would do his best to ensure Shun's goals were met. Other than fighting against the Fallen Emperor, he also settled all of Shun's other requests.
Shun wanted the Vast Sky Emperor to send his devil kings to the various islands of the Fallen God Region to speak to those rulers of the island. The Vast Sky Emperor had also agreed to do so.
Also, no matter where he went, there would be a group of devil kings following him, guarding his safety.
The Fallen God Emperor would never act directly because the Vast Sky Emperor was just here. However, nobody could be sure if the people related to Old man might make a move and attempt to kill Shun.
Right now, all of the Royal Devil clan's experts were filled with trepidation, their clan leader even appeared personally and nodded to Shun. "Sir Shun's glorious arrival, please pardon us for our tardy welcome."
"Mmm." Shun nodded and smiled at the clan leader. "I heard that one of the three devil kings who attempted to hunt me down back then was also of the Royal Devil clan. Is it because Ban's death had implicated me in this?"
"That devil king took matters into his own hands with some others back then. Sir Shun, the moment you say something, I will instantly capture them all and allow Sir Shun to deal with them." The Royal Devil clan Leader spoke, his attitude extremely amicable.
Shun has already brought the Vast Sky Emperor's army and stationed them here. Even Old man Kan died because of a sentence from him. How would he dare to not be polite?
"There's no need to." Shun spoke.
"Naturally, I know this wouldn't be able to mitigate the harm Sir Shun had suffered. If Sir Shun has any requests, please feel free to let me know." The clan leader wouldn't be so naive as to believe that Shun didn't dare to.
"I would like to ask the Royal Devil clan for help." Shun smiled.
"Please." The clan leader replied.
"Can you please send some experts out to certain islands to kill some people for me?" Shun spoke.
"Who?"
"Monoshiki and those around him." Shun replied.
"Sure." The sect leader of the Royal Devil clan agreed directly. Could he even say no?
"In that case, I would have to thank you for your help." Shun courteously replied. "However, who do you plan to allow to become the leader of this hunting expedition? Is it possible to allow some of the people beside me to leave a strand of divine sense on their body?"
"That's only natural." The clan leader of the Royal Devil clan nodded. Shun was doing this because he wanted to monitor their movements.
The two of them feigned civility, the Royal Devil clan clan leader selected a batch of devil kings while a devil king beside Shun left his devil sense on all of them. After which, they instantly departed.
There was a limit to the subordinates of the Fallen God Emperor and hunting down Shun wasn't going to be a safe matter. It's naturally best to get the Royal Devil clan to do this.
Even if they failed to kill Monoshiki, they would ensure that he would be occupied till Shun figures out their general objective.
After leaving the Royal Devil clan, Shun headed in another direction, moving towards the Celestial Lodge.
Not too long after, Shun arrived outside the Celestial Lodge. He had thought that he would never be here again, yet now, he ultimately still came back.
A group of females could be seen flying over, stopping as they reached Shun. At this moment, the number of beauties around him were as numerous as the clouds. These women have all met Shun before, and now that they saw him again, their eyes all gleamed with a bright light.
"We pay our respects to Sir Shun." The females all bowed.
"I wish to meet with your lodge lord." Shun directly stated.
