To Be Celestial's Emperor II
Next Mission
Initially Zhen Yuan thought that Li Jingtian was a figure of such great stature as the rest of the Li family. But Li Jingtian's true figure was far different from his shadow, the patriarch of the Li family had a slender body with long white hair that was rattled behind.
His body looked strong yet not too muscular as well as his youthful face, if only Li Gomu had not called him grandfather then perhaps Zhen Yuan would have thought if Li Jingtian was indeed young.
“I am very grateful and grateful for the kindness of master Zhen.” Li Jingtian wanted to bow respectfully to Zhen Yuan, yet the young man immediately held back his shoulders not letting him bow.
“It's already my obligation, after all we have a little relationship with the grand Elder Li.” Reply Zhen Yuan. Li Jingtian nodded, he now greatly appreciated their relationship with Zhen Yuan.
“Patriark Li, can I find out the current conditions in the main war field?” Zhen Yuan changed the subject.
Patriarch Li's face suddenly became dull, “Nation demons have apparently possessed almost the same strength as us currently on the main battlefield. Unfortunately their number is much more plus they are doing extensive expansion throughout the Central region making us even more desperate!”
“Then how about 3 big kingdoms?” ask Zhen Yuan again. Since the main battlefield was only played by the central palace then the 3 great empires could only defend their respective territories from the attack of the demon nation.
“From the 3 great empires, only the Zhen kingdom experienced an edge whereas the Shen and Iron Sand kingdoms experienced a worrying situation.” Li Jingtian then looked at Zhen Yuan with a pleading gaze.
Without saying anything, Zhen Yuan already knew Li Jingtian's plea. After all the Shen kingdom was built by the Shen family, Duan and Li whom the three had a good relationship with.
“Alright I will help! Patriarch Li, young master Li, I am leaving!” Zhen Yuan cupped his fists. Along with his 3 followers, Zhen Yuan disappeared in a cold breeze.
The face of patriarch Li was startled when he did not clearly see the speed of Zhen Yuan which signified that the speed of Zhen Yuan was much faster than him.

Ever since the great war took place, the central region had become a battlefield between 2 nations, demons and humans. Countless casualties were on the side of humans who had no cultivation to escape or simply fight back.
Not far from the territory of the Thousand Insects valley, five demon figures with Mortal strength led thousands of soul demons. Their goal was of course the Poisonous Insect sect. During the war, at least the role of this sect was very large and invited the attention of the demon nation.
Patriarch Duchong stared coldly at the demonic army that was approaching their sect. Soon the five insect elders bowed towards Duchong, they were ready to take orders.
“Did the guard insects have evolved?” Patriarch Duchong asked with some worry.
“Five guardian insects have evolved and become Mortal Beasts!” The Stone Ant Elder replied.
Patriarch Duchong nodded in satisfaction, his face no longer looking worried. “Maybe it's time we come back!”
The five elders were excited at the decision of the patriarch Duchong, they nodded obediently and disappeared again like imprints. Patriarch Duchong again saw the demon entourage that was now getting closer to the Poisonous Insect sect.
Before long, war trumpets made from the wings of giant insects sounded, along with the appearance of 5 insect elders along with each of their guardian insects.
Not to be left behind, the entire Poisonous Insect sect was led by master Xi and Du Lian. Master Xi led the elders and teachers while Du Lian led the younger generation and the other sect members. This time the strength of the Poisonous Insect sect was deployed in full.
The five Mortal demons were even helpless before the sect guarding insects. They were easily defeated, as well as the demon army that Du Lian had slaughtered all over.
If Zhen Yuan saw him, he would be surprised because at this moment Du Lian might be the only one among the former young elders who had reached the Mortal realm. He also became the first Mortal cultivator in the Poisonous Insect sect after 100 years.
Of course his development was pushed by the body of the Poison Lotus which he had managed to control. Now an early Mortal realm cultivator would not dare to fight recklessly with Du Lian because the effects of his lotus poison could cripple a Mortal cultivator.
