I Shall Seal the Heavens - chapter-944

As the two of them faced off, Meng Hao’s Dharma Idol appeared, 24,000
meters tall. Combined with his true Saint fleshly body, it caused his
energy to surge with intense power that only continued to increase. He
then extended his right hand, and a glowing sphere materialized above it.
As it floated there, the sphere seemed to suck in all of the warmth in
the area and cause everything to instantly grow cold.

The man’s expression was solemn, and his eyes focused intently on Meng
Hao. He sensed a feeling of grave danger when he looked at the sphere of
light. And then, Meng Hao started to walk toward him. It was at this
moment that…

“Hao’er, come to the main temple!” The Grand Elder’s archaic
voice echoed out around them.

Meng Hao said nothing, but his eyes flashed almost indiscernibly. As for
the middle-aged man, when he heard the Grand Elder’s voice, he gave an
inward sigh of relief.

At the same time, his eyes emanated a sharp glow, and a murderous will
gradually rose up in his heart. That was because he had realized that
Meng Hao’s Dharma Idol was still standing there, and Meng Hao’s
powerful energy hadn’t faded away. It was almost as if he was preparing
to refuse the Grand Elder’s summons.

The man’s eyes glittered as he readied himself. He looked at Meng Hao.

Ten breaths of time passed, during which Meng Hao’s expression never
changed. Finally, his Dharma Idol vanished, and his surging energy
dissipated. Everything returned to normal. However, the glowing sphere
remained floating there. As he began to walk forward, it drifted up
toward the top of his head, sucking in all of the heat and light around
it.

Meng Hao put the bone-tip spear away, and then completely ignored the
middle-aged man as he flew into the air toward the ancestral mansion’s
main temple.

Inwardly, the middle-aged man sighed in regret, and then reined in the
killing intent in his gaze. Finally, he followed Meng Hao. As for the
other five men, they had not received fatal injuries, but were still very
seriously hurt. They wouldn’t be able to fully recover any time soon,
so for the moment, all they could do was struggle to their feet and then
consume some medicinal pills. After that, they followed along, faces pale.

Meng Hao flew the entire way, followed by the six men. Quite a few clan
members saw him. Many of them had originally intended to go observe his
efforts in the Dao of Alchemy Division, and were taken aback when they
saw him flying toward the main temple.

This was especially the case when they saw the six men following him,
five of whom were seriously injured and had dismal, ashen faces. The clan
members who saw this were all shaken inwardly.

From the look of things, a violent storm was brewing under the surface of
the Fang Clan, and was just barely being kept under control.

At some point, the sky above the Fang Clan had changed from its usual
bright, sunny, and endlessly blue appearance. Now, black clouds gathered,
and the rumbling of thunder shook the ground. Flashes that resembled
silver dragons could occasionally be seen flickering in the clouds.

When the Fang Clan members saw this, they grew very quiet. They weren’t
sure exactly what had happened, but they could clearly sense that the air
was growing increasingly colder.

Meng Hao’s expression was calm as he proceeded forward. The sphere of
light above his head continued to grow larger. Soon it was 300 meters
wide, and incredibly shocking in appearance….

The six Fang Clan guardsmen behind him looked on with tingling scalps,
completely astonished. No one else understood why the sky had changed
color and the air was growing cold, but they knew. It was all caused by
the glowing sphere of light above Meng Hao’s head!

As Meng Hao headed toward the main temple, the sphere of light continued
to absorb all the heat and light around him!

“This is the divine ability he created when he faced the sun!”
thought the leader of the group of six men. His eyes widened, and despite
the level of his cultivation base, he still felt fear growing inside of
him.

It didn’t take long before the sphere of light was 600 meters wide.
Meng Hao was now outside of the main temple. The first thing he noticed
was the Grand Elder, sitting there inside.

There were also numerous Elders sitting in the enormous seats that filled
the temple hall. Each one of them wore calm expressions, and none of them
spoke, which actually caused the temple hall to be filled with enormous
pressure.

Sitting near the Grand Elder were Fang Wei’s grandfather and father.
Both of them looked over icily at Meng Hao.

Killing intent flickered deep within Fang Xiushan’s eyes.

Meng Hao’s expression was as calm as ever. Without any hesitation, he
stepped into the middle of the temple hall.

As for the 600-meter sphere of light, Meng Hao left it floating just
outside of the temple, where it continued to absorb light and heat.

Because of the sphere, Meng Hao’s entrance into the temple hall was
accompanied by icy coldness. The light even began to fade, and frost
began to appear on the ground.

The surrounding Elders’ facial expressions did not change, but they had
long since sent their divine sense out to inspect the sphere of light
hovering outside the temple.

“Fang Hao extends greetings to the Grand Elder and other Elders,” he
said, his voice neither haughty nor humble as he clasped hands and bowed
deeply. He was clearly following the clan rules down to the letter.

The Grand Elder’s face was expressionless as he looked at Meng Hao.

“Hao’er,” he said slowly, “you displayed shocking talent during
the rise of the East Ascension Sun. You flew up higher than any member of
the Junior generation of the clan has ever flown throughout our countless
years of history.

“You stepped off of the planet and into the starry sky, you faced the
sun for ten breaths of time, and you received significant good fortune
and enlightenment.

“All of these things make me very happy for you.” Although he spoke
words of praise and encouragement, his expression was completely
emotionless the entire time.

Meng Hao stood there silently and scanned the crowd. He remembered the
words of that direct bloodline Elder who had warned him about Fang
Xiushan. Half a month had already passed since then, and from what Meng
Hao could tell, this summons could not be a good thing for him.

That was especially true when he noticed the anxiety within the eyes of
the direct bloodline Elders who were present in the temple. Furthermore,
Fang Xi’s father was present, and was looking nervously at Meng Hao.

“The Elders have all proposed that you be rewarded for your actions,”
the Grand Elder continued, “and after much thought, I have come to the
conclusion that I agree. Your reward will come in the form of access to
the clan’s ancestral land, which was created by the first generation
Patriarch. At one time, our ancestral land was part of the Ruins of
Immortality. However, the Patriarch cut that part of the Ruins away and
brought it here.”

When Meng Hao heard this, his eyes narrowed. He knew that the Fang Clan
possessed deep resources, but he hadn’t been aware that the first
generation Patriarch was so strong that he could take away part of the
Ruins of Immortality and bring it back to the clan to serve as an
ancestral land!

“The divine abilities and magical techniques of the Fang Clan were not
all simply handed down by the first generation Patriarch,” the Grand
Elder explained. “Instead, for generation after generation, members of
our clan have entered the ancestral land he left behind. After thoroughly
searching it over and over again, the various magics of the Fang Clan
have slowly been collected together.

“However… there are still many magical techniques that have yet to be
discovered. To find them is a matter of chance and good fortune.

“Furthermore, for countless years, any Fang Clan member who reached the
Dao Realm and did not perish off planet, chose to be buried in this
ancestral land when it came time for them to return to the dust. There,
they would leave behind their cultivation magic and other secrets, where
they remain, just waiting for a predestined successor to go in and
acquire them.

“As for the first generation Patriarch’s five great Daoist magics,
four of them have been located. However, the most powerful of them all,
the One Thought Stellar Transformation, has never been found. 1

“In addition to all that, there are also medicinal plants and pill
formulas in the ancestral land. There are even Immortal Ancient Daoist
Treasures, all just waiting for their destined person to come along and
take them.” As the Grand Elder spoke, his cold voice echoed throughout
the temple hall.

Meng Hao listened to everything, his face as still as stone.

“Opening the ancestral land requires a significant expenditure of
resources. Generally speaking, we only open it once every thousand years.
However, even though the appointed time has not arrived, we are going to
make an exception and open it for you.

“However….” It was at this point that the Grand Elder suddenly
paused and looked deeply at Meng Hao for a long moment before continuing.

“Great danger lurks inside. That danger exists in the form of trials by
fire left behind by the first generation Patriarch for his successors.
The ancestral land is a bizarre place, in which various strange beings
can arise.

“Therefore, to someone like you, the ancestral land might be a place of
good fortune, but it can also be extremely dangerous. Although not many
people have actually died in the ancestral land over the years, some have.

“You may consider… whether or not you wish to take advantage of this
reward.” The Grand Elder’s final words caused Fang Xiushan’s and
Fang Wei’s grandfather’s expressions to flicker almost imperceptibly.
Without even thinking about it, they glanced over at the Grand Elder.

Fang Xiushan’s brow furrowed. According to their previous agreement
with the Grand Elder, when the ancestral land was opened, Meng Hao would
be forced to enter it whether he wanted to or not. He was not to be given
a choice in the matter.

As of this moment, both Fang Xiushan and Fang Wei’s Grandfather
couldn’t understand why the Grand Elder, who had always supported their
bloodline, would, at the very last moment, suddenly give Meng Hao the
option of whether or not to enter!

As the two of them hesitated, the Grand Elder waved his finger, causing a
vortex to appear in midair in the middle of the temple. The vortex spun
out, growing to dozens of meters in size. It was filled with swirling
mists, within which slowly appeared the image of another world.

Gradually, that world grew clearer and clearer.

Meng Hao’s face was calm as he looked at the Grand Elder. The fact that
he had been given a choice was somewhat strange. After a moment of
thought, he glanced over at the direct bloodline Elders, and could see
that they were also hesitating. He was now being given an opportunity
that he would be hard-pressed to come across in any other situation.

At the same time, he was facing imminent danger.

“Hao’er,” said Fang Xi’s father, 19th Uncle, “you really need
to consider the matter carefully. I suggest that you don’t enter the
ancestral land. Wait until you’re in the Immortal Realm. In another few
hundred years, then you can go into the ancestral land. That would be
much better. There’s really no reason for you to enter now. Hao’er,
consider things carefully.”

Meng Hao was silent for a moment before turning back to the Grand Elder,
clasping hands and bowing deeply.

“Grand Elder, am I the only one who can enter on this occasion? May I
choose to decline the chance to enter?”

“If you enter, you will do so alone,” the Grand Elder said slowly,
his expression one of neither joy nor anger. “If you wish to decline
the chance to enter, you may go to the Dao of Alchemy Division to
challenge the medicine pavilion.”

Off to the side, Fang Xiushan sat there nervously. He had paid a very
heavy price to arrange this matter, and if Meng Hao didn’t enter, it
would be impossible for him to have Meng Hao killed.

“Bear in mind,” continued the Grand Elder, looking at Meng Hao with a
piercing gaze, “all contact with the outside will be severed once you
enter the ancestral land. Nothing that happens inside will be visible to
any of us.”

Those words caused Fang Xiushan’s face to twitch. He looked over at his
father, and saw that, although his face was expressionless, his pupils
had constricted.

Meng Hao was unsure as to why the Grand Elder was taking this stance. The
normal thing to happen would be for the Grand Elder to give him no choice
in the matter. For things to turn out this way caused Meng Hao to look
over at the vortex thoughtfully. He was just about to say that he would
decline what was obviously an ambush set up by Fang Xiushan when
suddenly, a tremor ran through his body. As he looked into the world
inside of the vortex, his eyes suddenly went wide.

For a moment, it seemed as if he had caught sight of something completely
unbelievable. However, his expression quickly returned to normal.
Nontheless, inwardly, he was more shocked than if he had been struck by
lightning. His heart began to pound beyond control.

Mouth and throat dry, he immediately said, “I choose to enter the
ancestral land!”
