Chapter 334: Center of the Present World

"Who are you, and why do you know the whereabouts of the reincarnation of Heaven?"

The Sages were startled and hurriedly spoke up.

Tian Yao glanced at the Sages and spoke indifferently.

"Naturally, I know, because I am Heaven."

Facing these visitors from the ancient era, these outsiders, her attitude was not as gentle or polite as it was toward Li Heng; she had returned to the coldness and arrogance befitting Heaven.

They were greatly shocked.

This person is actually Heaven? How is this possible!

Has Heaven not been reincarnated?

At this moment, Li Heng smiled slightly and spoke.

"You all do not know, but the Heaven of the Present World has already split. The reincarnated Heaven has already become a monster, a distorted Heaven. As for the one before you, she is the normal Heaven, standing on our side."

Tian Yao did not answer; she remained silent, seemingly tacitly acknowledging it.

"Tian Yao, not a bad name, but you just came up with it, didn't you?"

Li Heng's teasing words rang in her ears.

Tian Yao hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly, effectively admitting it, and she secretly sent a voice transmission to Li Heng, "Let us discuss serious matters; I just sensed the aura of that monster appearing in a certain place."

This expression seemed somewhat like she was fleeing in a panic.

Li Heng gave a dumbfounded smile and could not help but shake his head.

Forget it, forget it; he would "spare" her for now.

At this time, the ancient Sages looked at Li Heng, all revealing an expression that asked whether the two of them had joined forces to deceive them, with the word "disbelief" written all over their faces.

Seeing this, Li Heng spoke calmly.

"What necessity is there for me to deceive you?"

These words directly rebuffed the questions the ancient Sages were about to ask, causing them to fall into silence. Because, given Li Heng's strength and realm, there was indeed no need to deceive them.

Moreover.

This "Heaven" also possessed a dense Heavenly Might.

Gradually accepting this fact, these ancient Sages still felt that this era was too insane; since ancient times, there has never been two suns in the sky, let alone two Heavens, yet now Heaven had actually split?

Heaven and Earth did not immediately explode...

That was truly something to be thankful for.

"Alright, alright, let's talk business. Where did the aura of that Heaven's reincarnation appear? You can just say it directly; these few are the Sages of the Hundred Schools of Thought from the ancient era, and they are trustworthy."

Li Heng said with a smile.

Tian Yao nodded.

This situation once again made these ancient Sages feel very surprised; this Daoist Li seems to have a deep relationship with this Heaven, being able to move "Heaven" with just a few words?

Should one say, as expected of the person watched by that entity?

"The aura of that monster appeared at the Center of the Present World."

Tian Yao said slowly.

The Center of the Present World? Li Heng raised his eyebrows slightly.

"The Center of the Present World is where laws and spiritual energy converge, a place where the strong must compete, a junction of many dynasties, with complex and intricate forces; there are experts from various dynasties, sects, and those entrenched aristocratic families."

Tian Yao explained.

Upon hearing this, Li Heng's expression became strange.

He remembered that the Hundred Saints Academy was in such a place; in that sense, he had indeed been to the Center of the Present World, although he felt there was nothing special about it.

Perhaps his standards were too high?

"It seems that monster is quite good at picking places; such a location is likely to allow it to recover rapidly and then return to its peak. If it is not stopped before then, once that monster returns to the Heavenly Position, it will likely launch an attack immediately, causing Heaven and Earth to fall in an instant."

After analyzing, Li Heng said slowly.

"Interesting, even such a place has aristocratic families?"

"Could the appearance of that monster Heaven also be related to the aristocratic families? For instance, the families want to help that reincarnation of Heaven, or perhaps, this is just a lure, intended to bait someone into going there?"

Li Heng smiled and casually threw out a few possibilities.

Of course, there was no evidence for any of this; it was just boundless speculation, much like an ordinary person thinking about daily necessities and then suddenly jumping to the other side of the universe to imagine aliens.

However, he did attach great importance to these possibilities.

In the dark, he had a premonition.

The aristocratic families have a long history of evil deeds, and now they are even working with Strange Buying Life Money to weave the Rule Great Net; he does not know what conspiracy they are brewing. He defeated the Strange Buying Life Money in full view of everyone, and the families must certainly know about this; they will definitely take action.

For example, just as things ended here.

The aura of Heaven's reincarnation happened to appear, and it was at the Center of the Present World, that place where dynasties, families, and sect experts gather; it is hard not to make connections.

After all, his identity has already been partially exposed; he is the great power in the hearts of all living beings who opened the Reincarnation, and is also suspected to be the existence who struck the monster Heaven into the Reincarnation and commanded all living beings to hunt it down.

If the aristocratic families have already made contact with the monster Heaven.

Then, perhaps.

This is the bait to hook him.

As for the families' confidence in doing this, it might be the bloodlines they possess, their hidden foundations, or perhaps they have joined forces with something else.

Just like before.

That leader of the Sunset Organization who fled in a panic.

Dissecting his own thoughts, calculating the many possibilities in his mind a billion times, the originally chaotic fog gradually dissipated, and everything before his eyes became clear.

Regardless of which possibility it is.

He must deal with it cautiously and carefully to prevent any mishaps.

Li Heng is no fool, nor is he a megalomaniac; he would not underestimate any existence, especially in this world where everyone uses cheats and one simply cannot survive without doing so.

The Ancient Sages beside him wore solemn expressions.

Most of them had also considered some possibilities, but because they did not know as much information as Li Heng, they had not fully reconstructed the whole picture, yet they could still sense that this matter was quite suspicious.

"This is actually a good thing. Going to that Center of the Present World can also allow us to investigate the Longevity Families and search for the whereabouts of that Monster Heaven. I wonder what your intentions are?"

Li Heng looked at the Sages beside him and smiled.

"We shall naturally go together."

The Sages nodded one after another.

Even if there really were problems, so what?

They had grown from mere mortals to their current realm and had never feared any difficulties; to fear and not move forward for the sake of some groundless risk—that would be true degradation.

They wanted to see for themselves.

What exactly that Center of the Present World was!

In their Ancient Era.

Qi and rules were distributed evenly, spreading across the land of the Present World; while not every place was an immortal mansion or a holy land, they were still spiritual lands capable of producing talent. "Center" was merely a directional term and would not turn into a place where rules and Qi gathered.

In their view.

The appearance of such a transcendent place would hinder the progress of Heaven and Earth.

Once such a place appeared, it would naturally attract the strong to go there. And since the resources of Heaven and Earth are limited, one side becoming transcendent would inevitably make other places weak and barren.

As a result.

The progress of Heaven and Earth would turn into the personal progress of the strong.

Of course, the Sages did not deny that the appearance of such a transcendent place could also bring benefits, such as gathering resources and gathering Wisdom, which could lead to more efficient development.

But looking at it now, there are few Void Heaven Realm experts in the Present World, which shows that the benefits of the transcendent place have not been realized at all.

The Center of the Present World.

It is the intersection of the territories of the various dynasties, where Qi is dense and rules are manifest; it is a place that must be contested and also a lawless zone. Because there is no suppression by a transcendent force, this place is chaotic, and the weak or small forces simply cannot survive in such a place.

It can be said this way.

The fall of the strong and the destruction of sects are common occurrences.

Just like today.

A force named the Ten Thousand Sword Pavilion was slapped into oblivion.

"Have you heard? What on earth is the Ye Family, one of the Longevity Families, going crazy about? They have been destroying sects for several days in a row. The Ten Thousand Sword Pavilion, Hulong Villa, the Xuantai Sect... all slapped into oblivion."

"I didn't expect this Ye Family to be so powerful. They only arrived at the Center Land not long ago, yet they can stir up trouble and don't take other long-established forces seriously at all."

"Hehe, you don't understand this. Although the families have many branches, they all belong to the Longevity Families, the same Alliance, and share the same breath and branches; the Ye Family's intent is the intent of all the Longevity Families."

"It is rumored that the ancestral land of this Ye Family comes from the Great Li Dynasty, and their bloodline abilities are Weird and very vicious. You had better not discuss it, lest you bring disaster upon yourselves."

"Hehe, I know what this Ye Family is doing. It is said they are looking for something, though I don't know what it is; anyway, I heard it's quite important."

On the top floor of a restaurant.

Several drinkers were drinking wine and casually eating fried peanuts coated with salt grains while chatting. Their volume was not low, which disgusted some of the refined guests nearby.

"Then do you know what it is?"

At this moment.

Before those refined guests could scold them.

A young man at the next table could not help his curiosity and asked aloud.

These drinkers immediately stopped their discussion and turned to look at the next table—a man and a woman. The man looked quite handsome, and the woman's face and features were also good; she could be considered a beauty.

One drinker raised an eyebrow and spoke.

"Oh, sounds like you are very interested?"

The young man nodded immediately.

"Actually, I have also heard this rumor and once investigated it in secret. If you all can provide some useful information, I can use the information I know to reciprocate."

He felt proud in his heart.

No wonder his senior brother often said that such restaurants are places where information flows; he had just arrived and already encountered information about the Ye Family that he had been investigating for a long time.

The few drinkers were stunned again upon hearing this.

"You have investigated it in secret? May I ask where you are from, young master?"

The young man spoke proudly at once.

"Xiaoxiang Water Pavilion."

As soon as these words were spoken, other guests on the top floor nodded one after another.

It was actually someone from the Xiaoxiang Water Pavilion. It is said that there is a Half-step Heavenly Human sitting in command there, shaking the three local cities with their might. No wonder he had the confidence to dare investigate the affairs of the Longevity Families.

The few drinkers nodded upon hearing this.

After confirming with a look that this was someone they could afford to provoke, they immediately stood up. Their momentum surged instantly; each of them was a Half-step Dharma Aspect, and they looked at the man and woman with a cold sneer.

"Then does the young master know that we are the people of the Ye Family!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

The other guests on the top floor were immediately terrified. They were actually the Ye Family members who were currently in the limelight in the Center Land. It is rumored that they have obtained the support of all the Longevity Families and kill without blinking.

How could they appear in such a small town?

The young man was also stunned. What was going on?

At this time, an untimely laugh rang out.

"Now you know, they are fishing."

Li Heng used his chopsticks to pick up a peanut and stuffed it into the mouth of the somewhat unconvinced Tian Yao, smiling slightly.
