Number One Under Heaven

Chapter 82 - Returning to the Sect

More than an hour had passed after Tian Yi stirred up the entire Xiangliu Continent with his domineering appearance at the Guo Family. Nobody knew where he came from or who he really was. But they do know that he had enough power to toy around with the Guo Family like babies. Not even the head of the Family who was a Sky Realm Expert could do anything in front of him and got handled like a Mortal with no power. However, not long later, even more news came out about him. He was apparently also at the Pill Contest where this mysterious Senior got angry at watching the scene of people disdaining the nameless girl from the Guo Family.

The situation in the Guo Family right now was dark and heavy. People walked around relentlessly cleaning up the mess, and not one person had spoken a word since an hour ago. Guo Dai had gone into closed Cultivation the moment Tian Yi left, leaving his concubines to clean up the mess. Guo Bao, on the other hand, was currently sitting on a large rock mindlessly staring at the pond in their backyard.

"What have I been doing with my life...?" She asked herself in a low whisper. "Where did I go wrong in my life? What did I do to deserve such an experience?"

The more Guo Bao thought about it the more guilt she felt. After quietly thinking about the horrendous things she has done in the past, she no longer felt that what had just happened was unfair. Instead, she knew that she deserved it, every single moment of that hell.

"Haaaa--- I am lucky to be alive right now..." She sighed.

After staying there for many more hours, Guo Bao finally stood up with a face that showed resolution and change. Her unconsciously made ugly face was no longer there. Instead, a face that showed repentance was there. 'I am no longer a Cultivator, nor will I ever walk that path again. Instead, I will live the rest of my life as a Mortal helping others as a punishment--- No, this is not a punishment, this is my will. Ah, I wonder if he will come out before I die of old age? I have so much to say to him.... And so much to apologize about,' she wondered. And she stared off into the distance where Guo Dai was currently in Closed Cultivation.

Back at the hotel, Tian Yi was also staring off into the distance. 'Was it worth it? Although I can clean the surface of a Soul, the inside will remain the same and even I cannot fully clean it. Will she change... Or will she continue walking down that dark path? I have already done what I can by building another bridge for her to walk on. Whether she crosses it or ignores it, that is not something I can decide...'

'Ahhh, I really am too nice. Is this what my Father call 'being too soft'?' He closes his eyes and wandered off into his memories.

"Tian Yi! You are too nice! How will you be able to uphold the image of an Emperor when it comes time for you to take my spot?!" His father was lecturing him as usual.

"Who said anything about wanting to be the Emperor? You can keep doing that forever. I want to travel the Universe, so I will not have time to play Emperor," said Tian Yi, who was only 13 at that time--- which was also around the time where his rebellious stage kicked in.

Tian Qiang's face turned red from rage and started yelling even louder. "Ridiculous! This is something every generation since the beginning has done! Although we are Immortal, that does not mean we can keep the title to ourselves forever! Your grandfather is still alive and kicking, yet I am still the Celestial Emperor! You will uphold the Family Tradition and become the Celestial Emperor once you are one million years old, and there is no way out!"

"That's even more ridiculous! Grandfather had been the Celestial Emperor for more than a billion years before handing it over to you, yet you are giving it to me at one million years?! You are clearly trying to give me that responsibility as soon as possible!"
