Chapter 1404: Heavenly Continent Great Ship

Xu Que was very surprised, and also very curious!

From the first time he heard that the Heavenly Continent was about to have a great change, to when Xuan Yuan Wanrong mentioned it, the estimated time was within a hundred years!

But gradually, this time seemed to be getting shorter and shorter, as if an invisible hand was pushing from behind, accelerating the occurrence of all this.

"It wouldn't be me, would it?" Xu Que couldn't help but sweat on his forehead.

After all, the shackles of the Heavenly Continent were originally supposed to disintegrate after a hundred years, and by then, the Immortal King ancestors of all major forces would also wake up.

But it seemed that because of him, those Immortal Kings were awakened in advance, and all this suddenly accelerated.

Especially after those people from the Heavenly Palace Academy woke up, the catastrophe of the Heavenly Continent suddenly became imminent.

"Pass the order down, all disciples at the Heavenly Immortal stage and above, gather at the council hall immediately." At this moment, Bai Cailing was already full of solemnity and issued an order.

She turned to look at Xu Que and his group, hesitating: "Fellow Daoist Xu, can you go together for this Heavenly Selection Ceremony?"

"Uh, I won't join in the fun for things like the Heavenly Selection Ceremony. Miss Bai, since you still have things to be busy with, we should also say goodbye!" Xu Que directly rejected Bai Cailing's request and prepared to leave.

Heavenly Selection Ceremony? Heavenly Selection Candidate?

Hehe, this King of Acting Cool has long been the Son of Heavenly Mandate, so why would I participate in any Heavenly Selection Ceremony!

Moreover, this was still a ceremony held by those old guys from the Heavenly Palace Academy. If he went, wouldn't he be throwing himself into the net?

"What, you don't intend to participate in the Heavenly Selection Ceremony?" Bai Cailing was instantly shocked, stunned: "Fellow Daoist Xu, this is a major event concerning the safety of the Heavenly Continent, we cannot ignore it!"

"Miss Bai, I didn't say I was ignoring it! It's just that our Heaven Exploding Faction is accustomed to acting alone. We are a lone wolf action organization and are not suitable for team battles!" Xu Que said with a smile.

Bai Cailing: "This..."

"Miss Bai, you have to make it clear that it's not only by participating in the Heavenly Selection Ceremony that one can save the Heavenly Continent. The so-called Son of Heavenly Mandate or something is actually nothing remarkable." Xu Que smiled indifferently and turned to leave directly.

Er Gouzi, Duan Jiude, and the others also followed closely behind without saying a word, stepping out of the council hall.

Bai Cailing watched the figures of the group leaving, opened her mouth, wanting to speak but stopping, and finally didn't keep Xu Que and the others.

She knew that even if she opened her mouth, she wouldn't be able to keep them.

After all, she also understood that the Heavenly Selection Ceremony was just to select the Son of Heavenly Mandate, and it didn't mean that this could allow the Heavenly Continent to safely survive the catastrophe!

Moreover, she still didn't know what kind of catastrophe the Heavenly Continent was about to face, whether it was a natural disaster or a man-made disaster.

Everything was unclear, so how could there be a reason to force Xu Que and them to follow her to participate in the Heavenly Selection Ceremony?

"Saintess, Xu Que and they have left, are you sure you don't want to keep them?" a female disciple asked.

"Keep them? With our strength, do you think it's possible to keep them?" Bai Cailing shook her head with a bitter smile.

"But the secret order says, if you see Xu Que..."

"I know, but this shouldn't be something we do. Pass the order down, no disciple is allowed to mention the news of Xu Que and them appearing in Yaochi!" Bai Cailing said indifferently, and at the same time waved her slender hand, destroying the secret order into ashes.

She looked at the exit of the Yaochi Holy Land, feeling helpless in her heart. She had just reminded Xu Que not to offend the Heavenly Palace Academy, but who would have thought that behind the secret order was the information about the Heavenly Palace Academy hunting down Xu Que. This guy is really... a troublemaker!

At the same time, outside Tianxiang City.

Xu Que and his group had already appeared in the suburbs of the city, staying in a mountain forest.

"Heavenly Continent catastrophe, heh, such a crappy place, not even an Immortal Emperor, is it necessary for people outside to stare at it so much?" Xu Que shook his head and smiled indifferently.

He really couldn't understand why there were so many people waiting for it to disintegrate its shackles and carry out an invasion after it had been isolated for so many years.

"This might be related to a rumor about the Heavenly Continent!" Zixia Fairy suddenly said.

Everyone was stunned, looking at her one after another.

Zixia Fairy continued: "Previously I mentioned that the Heavenly Continent is next to the Immortal Cloud Continent, but when I was in the Immortal Cloud Continent, I heard some things: the Heavenly Continent is a lone boat leading to the Divine Realm. In a certain period in the future, it will fly to the Divine Realm by itself. Once a cultivator can enter the Divine Realm, they will have the opportunity to glimpse the Divine Dao, rank among the Immortal Class, compete for the Divine Position, and become a deity!"

"What, this doesn't mean the rumor is true, the Heavenly Continent really is a big boat!" Mo Junchen exclaimed instantly.

He had already known about the rumor that the Heavenly Continent was a big boat when he was in the Earth Continent, but no one knew the origin of this rumor; it was almost passed down from generation to generation.

But now hearing Zixia Fairy say this, Mo Junchen was scared. The Heavenly Continent is not only a big boat, but also a big boat leading to the Divine Realm!

"Eh, this is really possible!"

Duan Jiude frowned and said, "Think about it, whether it's the Immortal Cloud Continent or whatever continent, it seems there are no deities, only the Heavenly Continent, where deities appeared many years ago, and even a God-Demon War occurred. This might really be a big boat that can travel back and forth to the Divine Realm!"

"Holy crap, so this is the reason why that group of people outside the territory all want to compete for the Heavenly Continent!" Xu Que widened his eyes. No wonder the Immortal Venerable experts like Nishang Fairy and the Saintess of the Demon Palace from the Immortal Cloud Continent would worry about the Immortal Kings of the Heavenly Continent; it turns out they were also coveting the Heavenly Continent!

"Holy crap, then this deity is about to be trapped in a chaotic world?" Er Gouzi said in panic: "No, we must hurry to the Immortal Cloud Continent and avoid this battle! Otherwise, it will definitely be a river of blood by then, with so many Immortal Kings and Immortal Venerables, and even Immortal Emperors participating. This deity doesn't want to stay and be cannon fodder!"

"Being cannon fodder is not really the case!" Xu Que smiled: "However... we really don't need to wade into this muddy water. After someone occupies the Heavenly Continent, we can just run back and catch a ride later!"

"It won't work, we can't avoid it!" Mo Junchen said suddenly, his face pale as he looked at Xu Que: "Leader Xu, I suddenly remembered another rumor related to you!"

"What rumor?" Xu Que was stunned, and the others also looked at Mo Junchen.

Mo Junchen smiled bitterly: "It is said that the two Sons of Heavenly Mandate who have passed the love tribulation are the keys to opening the gate of the Divine Realm, and only they can allow this big boat of the Heavenly Continent to start, so..."

"What the hell? So I am one of the keys?" Xu Que instantly widened his eyes.

"Can't say it like that. The accurate saying is that the Son of Heavenly Mandate who has passed the love tribulation is the key!" Mo Junchen corrected.

"That's good, Xuan Yuan Wanrong and I haven't passed the love tribulation yet, so I'm not panicked!" Xu Que let out a sigh of relief. He really didn't want to wade into this muddy water; there was no benefit, and it was easy to become a target of public criticism.

"No, Leader Xu, you should be panicked!"

Mo Junchen said anxiously: "Now those people from the Heavenly Palace Academy are holding the Heavenly Selection Ceremony, clearly wanting to select a new Son of Heavenly Mandate. By then, if the new Son of Heavenly Mandate successfully passes the love tribulation, all other Sons of Heavenly Mandate will die!"
