Chapter 1226 - Ancestral Goddess

"It's that 'Ancestral God Sculpture' again!"

Tang Huan's eyes turned sharp, the anger in his chest flaring up.

At the top of the mountain stood a statue that was said to be the ancestor of the Tian Clan, it was called the "Ancestral God Sculpture". That statue had its own intelligence. Back in the Spirit State war, the reason the Tian Clan did not turn into ashes and perish like the Four Symbols Heaven Sect was all thanks to the sculpture's guidance.

However, to Xing Meng, the existence of the "Ancestral God Sculpture" was not a good thing.

From Luolong's memories, he knew that the moment Xing Meng appeared in Forging God Great World, the "Ancestral God Sculpture" had a reaction and accurately determined her position. Everything that had happened to Xing Meng since then were all related to the "Ancestral God Sculpture".

The reason why the Tian Clan did everything he could to nurture Xing Meng was very simple —

That was, after Xing Meng's cultivation broke through to Virtual Level, he would extract the Tian Clan's bloodline from her body, so that the "Ancestral God Sculpture" could absorb it. The reason why the Ancestral God Sculpture had its eyes on Xing Meng was because a part of the heart of the tree in Xing Meng's veins had fused with the "Cloud Holy Tree" from the little world.

The heart of the holy tree was an extremely mysterious existence.

There was a human heart, and the heart of the holy tree was the heart of the Flying Cloud Holy Tree. Within Holy Heavenly City, the nine Cloud Holy Trees that were to be reared later had yet to reach the point where the heart of the tree could be born. Xing Meng, who had fused with a portion of the Sacred Tree Heart, had actually aroused the coveting of the "Ancestral God Sculpture".

As a result, not long after he stepped into the Virtual Level, Xing Meng's Tian Clan bloodline was extracted, and then locked in the Heaven's Punishment Hall, allowing it to fend for itself.

Not only had Xing Meng's cultivation been drained, but the vitality in her body had also nearly died out. The Sky Execution Hall had thought that her soul would quickly disperse, so they had not taken strict care of her, but they had not expected that Xing Meng would rely on a treasure in her possession to escape the Heaven's Punishment Hall in a frail state. In the end, she had met Tang Huan, who had just arrived in Holy Sky City.

From what Tang Huan knew, the person who was treated like this by the Tian Clan was not Xing Meng alone.

His mother, Ji Ru Mang, was originally the Holy Maiden of the Tian Clan, but in the end, she had no choice but to betray her family and escaped from the Heavenly Human Mountain. Her main reason lay with the "Ancestral God Sculpture".

Every five hundred years, the Holy Maiden of the Tian Clan would die because of various reasons.

But in truth, those Tian Clan Holy Maiden were not really dead, they were being sent to offer sacrifices to the "Ancestral God Sculpture". In the Tian Clan, this was a top secret and only the Lord and a few elders knew about it. Ji Haitian was one of the few who knew about it.

Ji Ru Mang learned of this by chance and wasn't willing to become a victim of the 'soul sacrifice'. This was why she decided to rebel and leave the clan base.

"What a great Tian Clan!"

Tang Huan's face was ice-cold, with a wave of his hand, the ball of soul in his hand was immediately crushed, his two eyes immediately swept in front of him.

The palace he was currently in was extremely vast, with each being about a hundred meters in length and width. On the inside of the palace, there were many circular arched tunnels that connected to various types of prisons.

At this moment, over a hundred figures had already gathered at the entrances dozens of meters away. It was obvious that they were alarmed by the battle just now, yet they didn't even dare to breathe loudly. Seeing Tang Huan looking over, everyone retreated into the passage out of reflex, their faces filled with fear.

"Swish!"

Tang Huan's expression darkened, and the "Hundred Lava Flame Spear" in his hand pierced upwards …

… ….

At the peak of Heaven's Person Mountain, in the Heaven's Person Palace.

This exquisite and simple little hall was the meeting place of Tian Clan and the elders.

At present, dozens of figures had already gathered within the palace, but it was deathly still. Almost everyone had serious expressions on their faces and between their brows, there was shock and fury.

"Everyone!"

The leader was an old man in a brocade robe, he was tall and sturdy, like a human-shaped giant bear, his eyes swept across everyone, suddenly he opened his mouth, his voice was loud and resounding, but before he could say anything, he was suppressed by a burst of earth-shaking roars.

"Boom!"

A loud sound rose from below as the entire mountain shook violently.

Everyone's expression changed slightly. Immediately after, a handsome, extremely young looking white clothed man said in a deep voice, "Everyone, 'Heaven's Punishment Hall' was destroyed by Tang Huan!"

"Lord, I can't tolerate this anymore!"

A tall and sturdy man in a blue robe stood up and looked at the old man in the embroidered robe with anger written all over his face, "There are indeed many Void Transformation Stage cultivators by Tang Huan's side, but there are also many Void Transformation Stage cultivators in our Tian Clan, furthermore, we have the 'Ancestral God Sculpture' as our base, so we might not be afraid of him!"

"That's right, that Tang Huan is truly going too far. If we allow him to do whatever he wants, he will probably take even more advantage of us. "Now that things have reached this point, we can no longer retreat. We can only fight. At worst, we can only end up dead in a net!" Another Black Costume Old Man stood up with a clap of his hands.

"..."

When the two of them spoke, they immediately echoed each other.

Most of the Void Transformation Stage experts in Tian Clan were gathered in the Sky Human Palace for a discussion. They had long known about the movements in Holy Sky City and the Heaven's Punishment Hall, but just as they were about to send people to capture the enemy, they received news from the Heaven's Punishment Hall, saying that the person who came was Ji Ru Mang's son, Tang Huan!

In that instant, everyone in the hall was stunned.

They had heard of Tang Huan's great name before, and quite a few Void Transformation Stage experts had died in Tang Huan's hands, controlled by him, like Ji Haitian and the others. Everyone in the entire Tian Clan knew the name of Ji Ru Huan. This Holy Daughter who had betrayed and escaped was already viewed as a disgrace to the entire Tian Clan.

No one had ever thought that Ji Ru Mei and Tang Huan would actually be linked. Moreover, the two of them were actually mother and son.

When he thought about it again, however, he realized that the news wasn't that surprising. Today, when the Tian Clan's Saintess, Ji Jin, returned from the "Heavenly Desolate Secret Realm", she once revealed that Tang Huan possessed half of the Tian Clan's bloodline, and had even merged with the Tian Clan's Sacred Artifact "Heavenly Heart Pearl", which had been missing for tens of thousands of years.

They had long wanted to capture Tang Huan and bring him back to the Sky Human Mountain, however, there was still quite a distance between the two of them. Even though they had already sent out their experts, they had yet to find the chance to do so, and by the time they could confirm Tang Huan's whereabouts, he was already in the "Ancient Clear Heaven Region", and had even entered the cold tide.

From then on, it was already too late to make a move against Tang Huan.

But even so, the Tian Clan did not give up on Tang Huan. In today's discussion, one of the issues was related to Tang Huan. He didn't expect that Tang Huan would actually come to the Tian Clan himself. Furthermore, because of Xing Meng, they had started a massacre in the Sacred Heavenly City, and had even destroyed the Heaven's Punishment Hall in the end.

"Lord, please enlighten me!"

After a round of clamor, all the elders' gazes landed on the old man in the embroidered robe, but right at that moment, an explosive shout suddenly sounded out in the world, "The former Holy Maiden of Tian Clan, Ji Ru Mang's son Tang Huan, has come here to seek guidance.
