Badass Celestial Emperor Returns!

(111) The Competition Starts

Zi Yingjun went out the gate the same time as Zi Qing He and the others. With only him appearing back, it drew confusion from the others. He headed to Zi An Heng to explain. As for Zi Qing He, she cant help but narrow her eyes on him. She was the chosen heir for the so-called Ancestral Symbol. Zi Yingjun was the only man who came out of the gate. Is he her other competitor? If so, she must outsmart him.

"Elder, those two that followed me was suddenly gone. We entered the gate at the same time but no one was with me when I went in. There is also this strange entity by the end of the corridor within the gate." Zi Yingjun is not afraid to let his other competitor know it was him who is acting as Rong Qian. No wonder there are two different entities inside the tomb. It was to define the yin and yang. Chaos was mostly made with yin and Harmony is yang. However, he have the Pure Yin attribute. That also means he can control Chaos but Chaos chose a woman instead of him.

"That's strange." Zi An Heng wasn't suspicious he killed the two elders she sent to escort him. This made her worried. There are only few people capable of being a rune master in Zi Clan. Two of them missing is already a great loss. "We will continue the search tomorrow. I suggest-"

"Wait, Master." Zi Qing He spoke and turned to Zi Yingjun. "Zi Yingjun, you're the only one left? Did you happen to see something different?"

"Well, yes." he nodded lightly. Zi Qing He narrowed her eyes on him but his next words made her stumped. "The two elders I was with followed this white entity and then they disappeared. I got out of the place and arrived here with you."

"Oh... He's probably not Rong Qian." she thought. If Zi Yingjun was Rong Qian then she is in trouble. Both she and Lieren can feel he is deep in scheming.

The next day of exploration, Zi Yingjun slipped inside the gate again after Zi Qing He and some female elders went in first. He became Rong Qian again. The strange thing is that he was not in the previous scenario where he had left before. The You Song elf girl was in the same room as him. Zi Yingjun stood up from his seat after glancing at the bed where the elf was curled. Well, what happened? He headed to the door when his heart thumped. Zi Yingjun turned behind him just to see You Song hiding a dagger behind her.

"Keep it between us." he plainly smiled and went out the room before the dagger hits him. The tip had punctured from the wooden door as his brow raised. "Brainless Rong Qian. He got easily seduced by an elf! She can ruin me anytime she wants now."

Zi Qing He took the dagger. She wished she had done it earlier. Her plans proceeded well but she underestimated Rong Qian's cultivation level. He was able to mute her without the use of a technique. Zi Qing He could have shouted for help after setting him up but he was clever enough to keep her silent. She hurriedly got dressed when Chaos appeared.

"Female Inheritor, Rong Qian is now possessed. Good thing is, you are able to make a move first that pitted him. Bad thing is, he have a high chance of winning the competition." Chaos said. Zi Qing He turned around and a wide sharp smile appeared on Chaos' face.

"What should I do? This accusation You Song made is nothing. I can go straight and kill him, right?" she faced the entity again and its malicious smile was gone.

"This is a game of facade, deception and scheming, not blatant murder. However, there is a day where Inheritor can kill him. That day when chaos reigned in the mainland." Chaos replied back.

"Cant I switch an entity?" Zi Yingjun asked while strolling around the tribe. He stopped upon seeing a shrine ahead. There was person in purple cloak setting rune formations around the shrine. The person removed its cloak when it saw Rong Qian.

"Rong Qian, what took you so long?" it was a girl with the charm any women would wish to have. Strangely, her eyes were purple. What is more shocking is that she resembles someone he knew in his past life. She looks a lot like his first disciple.

"I overslept." he simply lied. Zi Yingjun felt something is off. That was the same cloaked person he saw from the premonition. It cant be this woman was the person who created the Ancestral Symbols? "What are you doing?"

"Oh. The tribe leader told me this shrine needs more protection. They still don't trust you like I do. But in time, you can gain their trust. The only elves I know that doesn't like you was You Song and the tribe leader. See? Only two more." the lady said and headed out the formation. She placed her source brush back to her ring then pillars of purple light emerged but it slowly died down. "How is your research doing? Did you find anything useful?"

"Re...search?" Zi Yingjun barely said. Just then, a purple shard from his inner robe shone. There was a scene where Rong Qian stayed in a cave with bright clear water and the same lady was waiting for him by the waterside. He coughed out blood which broke his cultivation.

"Rong Qian, you're trying hard to reach the Nirvana Stage. I told you that was just a myth. Its not true." the lady sighed in pity.

"I figured it out. The Xing Stone showed me a powerful source of Chaos Dao is hidden in an elf tribe here in the mainland." Rong Qian wiped the blood and smiled in success. "Ren Shen, cover me up for some time until we find that source. Afterwards, I will create what the Xing Stone told me to."
