Chapter 357: Master, Are You Really my Father?

The Heavenly Emperor was quite baffled. Never could he have imagined how Jiang Ming knew what happened back then.

That was a secret among the secrets.

It was exactly as what he had remarked, if he had the intention of hiding the secret, no one except the Saint Lord in the world would be able to find out!

There was absolutely no one else.

However, this young man of the human race who had just descended to his realm was able to expose his secret to its core.

As if that was not all, the key thing was that his son was right by his side.

Cang Xuan looked over at his son.

Admitting if he was his father was a different matter. The important thing was that the death of his son’s mother was indeed driven by him back then.

This was a fact.

Deny the accusation? It was difficult for him to do so when faced with his son’s gaze.

“Master, are you really my father?” Yin Zhan’s tone was a little hoarse.

In the battlefield where the Heaven Court Main Hall was conjured, it was extremely quiet and silent for a brief while.

It was supposed to be an earth-shattering battle, yet who would have known that it would evolve to such ethical kinship of recognition?

However, no one dared to laugh.

Conversely, they even had an extremely serious expression on their faces. Many lowered their heads to count the ants on the ground while some others looked up at the fluttering white clouds, as if they didn’t hear them.

God damn it!

Ants?

Fluttering clouds?

Who would even dare to see the Heavenly Emperor as a joke?

Even Mo Hei, the Bear Tyrant, and Great Monarch Hongyun, who were oozing with murderous intent were silent.

They were also paying attention to the Heavenly Emperor, to see how he would answer Yin Zhan.

If he was to admit to it? This would mean that this Heavenly Emperor was really scheming on the Sacred Sect, the God Clan and the Tai Xuan Gate.

What if he was to deny it? However, looking at the Heavenly Emperor’s expression, he seemed to have acquiesced to it.

“Cang Xuan, don’t make me look down on you!” Jiang Ming’s voice suddenly erupted, breaking the silent battlefield. He laughed and said, “Now that you’re already at such a level of cultivation, plotting for the unification of the heavens, scheming for the Saint position, is a matter of course. No one can blame you for them. A scheme is a scheme. It’s fine if no one knew about it. However, if they’re spilled and you still deny it, you’ll be trampling on your own identity and even lose your own temperament. Perhaps, such a thing might even leave a scar deep in your heart. If so, how can you still ascend to the Saint position in the future? It would be impossible!”

Dongfang Changqing, who was watching silently, was a little surprised.

This kid was really malicious. With just a few words, he sealed the Heavenly Emperor’s way of escaping.

If the Heavenly Emperor were to deny the accusation?

There might be an obstruction in his mind toward his path of Dao. Moreover, to have denied it in front of such a large audience, it might really leave a scar on the temperament of his mind. How would he be able to step into Saint Dao in the future?

What if he was to admit to the accusation?

He would definitely be faced with hostility from the Tai Xuan Gate, the Sacred Sect and the God Clan. The influence of the Heaven Court would form cracks and deviation for sure. Although they won’t be opposing the Heaven Court openly, the Heavenly Emperor’s decree from then on would be akin to a blank sheet of paper.

‘I admired him quite a bit. However…sigh. He is completely on the opposite side of the Heaven Court and he is also a person from the outer realm. If he can’t be an ally and wants to disrupt our world, he is destined to be an enemy.’ Dongfang Changqing sighed in his heart.

As a person who had reached such a stage of cultivation, he had already seen through most of the trivial matters of the world. He would kill even his own disciples if he needed to, let alone the admiration towards someone.

Yin Zhan’s expression was the most complicated.

‘God damn it! I’m a Great Overarching Golden Immortal for crying out loud! Who would’ve thought that my biological father would appear all of a sudden that he would be my master in name?’

As if that wasn’t enough, what made him feel worse was that his birth seemed to have been the result of some other person’s scheme towards a different objective.

When he thought of this, Yin Zhan, who was always prideful and arrogant, really wanted to die right there and then.

Cang Xuan stood up. His incomparably huge figure naturally evoked the boundless power of order, the power of the Laws Net, the power of authority, and the invincible power emanating naturally, made even the hearts of peerless experts such as Great Monarch Hongyun to tremble.

“I don’t understand, how did you know?” Cang Xuan did not answer the question directly, but it was also a definite answer, “You are not a Saint Lord, and you have only just descended into our chiliocosm. It is impossible for you to know about this. You shouldn’t be able to know of all my plans, yet you knew everything. That shouldn’t be possible. If that’s the case, then there’s only one possibility. Whether they are currently within our chiliocosm or on the outside of our chiliocosm, there are Saint Lords from your world who have infiltrated into ours, constantly monitoring the movements of our Tiancang Great Chiliocosm. Now that you all feel that the time is ripe, you emerge to the surface with the intention of breaking the Heaven Court apart and lead us to fight within ourselves. Right when we are seriously damaged, you would take advantage of the situation to invade us. Isn’t that right? That must be it!”

“You’re thinking too much. Also, don’t you try to divert people’s eyes with such words.” Jiang Ming was rendered quite speechless. “Do you think that my strength would even be of use if I wanted to invade a chiliocosm? Would Demi-Sage Cultivation Realm be of use? All of these are useless!Only the Saint Lords can dictate the victory or defeat of such a feat. The rest are merely incidental objects. Although the Laws Net is peerless, to trap a Saint Lord? You’re just thinking too much!”

“Cang Xuan, is it really so difficult to admit to your own doings?”

“You are the Heavenly Emperor, the one who stood at the highest pinnacle of Tiancang Great chiliocosm, the man among men. You should just admit it if you’ve done so!”

“Besides, now that you have a son, it’s actually a gratifying event. You should be opening up the gates of the Heaven Court and accept all guests from all directions. To be able to identify your relatives under their witness. Can’t you see how perfect that would be?”

God Freaking dammit! Cang Xuan almost blurted out vulgar words. He was really pissed off.

“Fellow Taoist Mo Hei, Fellow Taoist hongyun, please kill this foreign bureaucrat!” Cang Xuan ordered.

The expression on his face became very gloomy. There seemed to be a power of destruction all around him, yearning to erupt anytime soon. The entire battlefield was extremely terrified by the suppression of his aura.

Great Monarch Hongyun and Mo Hei were rather hesitant.

They saw that the Heavenly Emperor was at the verge of erupting in fury at this time.

They were wondering if they were not obeying his order, will this be the end of them there and then?

They eventually decided that it was better to just do it! After all, this bastard Jiang Ming really deserved to die.

Right this very moment however, Yin Zhan asked again, “You haven’t answered yet. Are you my father?”

The tense atmosphere suddenly became chaotic.

Cang Xuan’s mouth seemed to even twitch a little.

‘Damn it! I finally managed to temporarily suppress the restlessness with great difficulty by force. After suppressing Jiang Ming, I’ll be able to get my hands on the secrets of the outer world and share them with the others. Maybe then, I can escape this crisis. Yet, you unfilial son! I know that you are stubborn and unbending. But can you not be so stubborn at such critical times?’

“Yes!” Cang Xuan responded.

“You killed my mother?” Yin Zhan’s complex expression froze for a moment, before his face turned gloomy.

“No!”

“But she was killed by your scheme!”

Cang Xuan was silent this time.

Should he reveal that she was killed by the Sacred Sect?

Right that very moment, there and then, such a thing must not be said.

Cang Xuan looked at the two experts standing beside Great Monarch Hongyun. His voice was rumbling, containing the supreme power of Dao fluctuation, “Suppress him! I will personally strip his memory and show it to all of you!”

Great Monarch Hongyun’s eyes lit up and his heart skipped a beat.

As for the Heavenly Emperor’s scheme?

It had already been pointed out and revealed. Why would he still care about it? It would be something to deal with in the future.

Mo Hei, on the other hand, laughed!

“Kill!”

The Bear Tyrant was very decisive.

He had already suppressed himself to the limit. After all, he had lost all his pride today. Luckily, the Heavenly Emperor also lost his pride today.

This was good. Very good indeed.

He made his move at the very moment he heard the promise of the Heavenly Emperor.

After all, Cang Xuan also had another meaning behind his words: For the suppression of Jiang Ming and to have his memory shared, he himself would also make a move at the critical moment. They just had to suppress him.

Boom!

The Bear Tyrant evoked the Divine Hammer in his hand, striking down with a supreme mighty power that could even blast through the stars.

However, his pupils shrank right that very moment as he couldn’t help but blurt, “Jiang Ming, you are so unruly!”

He was not the only one. Mo Hei, Great Monarch Hongyun, Yin Zhan, and even the Heavenly Emperor were terrified.

As for the other experts, their faces were as pale as paper, overwhelmed with horror as all of them had a terrified look on their faces.

“To hell with your so-called rules!”

Jiang Ming sneered, but remained still. A series of Dao vessels appeared around him where all of them were Great Overarching Weapons. In addition to the previous Dao vessels he had taken out, there were 49 of them ready.

These 49 Great Overarching Dao vessels even formed a large formation array.

“Fellow Taoist! Please hold on!”

Cang Xuan was extremely anxious as he shouted quickly and at the same time evoked the power of the Laws Net to form a heavy defensive barrier.

“Hehe!”

Jiang Ming merely smirked. Without any hesitation, he evoked Infinite Vessel Manipulation Technique, detonating all 49 Dao vessels at the same time.

Boom…

Along with a deafening sound, the blast wave of the explosion, drowned all things.
