Global Awakening: I'm the Only One Ready

Lu Yuan understood one thing very clearly. Once he collected all the Celestial Emperor’s Ancient Tokens, their significance would change completely.

He did not dwell on it any further and asked directly, ”So the eighth Celestial Emperor’s Ancient Token is on the Celestial Star?”

Since Jiang Taiyu had asked him to come, this had to involve the Celestial Emperor’s Ancient Token. From that alone, Lu Yuan could roughly guess that the eighth ancient token was on the Celestial Star.

”That’s right.”

Sure enough, it was the case. Jiang Taiyu thought for a moment and continued, ”I only learned of it recently. I asked you to come this time because I want to seize that Celestial Emperor’s Ancient Token for you. However, relying on my strength alone would be very troublesome.

”That Celestial Emperor’s Ancient Token has already fallen into the Celestials’ hands, and it is also in another ancestral land of the Celestials.”

Lu Yuan had learned before that the Celestials had two ancestral lands. The first was Thunder Firmament Hall, while the other lay in the region already shrouded by black mist.

In simple terms, Jiang Taiyu wanted to find a way to enter the other ancestral land and seize the Celestial Emperor’s Ancient Token.

However, the Celestials had grown much stronger, and the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons were there as well. Even knowing where the token was, taking it would be extremely difficult.

Lu Yuan heard an underlying statement in Jiang Taiyu’s words.

”It’s in the hands of the Celestials. That means... The Extracosmic Heavenly Demons don’t know about it?”

He voiced his guess.

If the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons knew about the Celestial Emperor’s Ancient Token, then under normal circumstances, they would definitely keep it in their own possession. It had a deep connection to the Human Sovereign Celestial Emperors.

As mentioned before, they had suffered many losses at the hands of those supreme figures in the past. Lu Yuan knew very well that the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons could not be unaware of the Celestial Emperor’s Ancient Tokens’ importance. If they knew, they would never ignore the matter.

”You are very smart.”

Hearing this, a smile twinkled in Jiang Taiyu’s eyes. ”Although the Celestials have chosen to submit to the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons, they have their own agenda as well. Who would willingly remain beneath others forever? I believe they didn’t tell them about the Celestial Emperor’s Ancient Token because they want to completely break free of the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons’ control one day.”

Lu Yuan nodded. That was only natural. No matter what, the Celestials were still from a top hundred starfield. Although they were subordinate to the Ji Clan and had now become connected to the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons, no one would willingly remain beneath another forever.

If they had a chance to rise again, they would definitely seize it. Although the Celestials and the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons appeared to be fully allied now, the Celestials clearly had their own plans. They knew how important the Celestial Emperor’s Ancient Token was, yet they had not revealed it. What reason could there be, if not the hope of breaking free one day?

”So Senior wants to use this chance to find a way into the Celestials’ ancestral land and bring back that Celestial Emperor’s Ancient Token?” By now, Lu Yuan roughly understood what Jiang Taiyu intended to do.

”That’s right. But once we act, the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons will definitely react. Then, we’ll need to deal with both sides. The key is that this matter must be done discreetly. At the very least, the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons cannot learn our true purpose.”

Jiang Taiyu laid out what had to be done on this trip. The Celestial Emperor’s Ancient Token was far too important. The Celestials could not reveal it, and neither could they.

Once the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons discovered it, things would change. The situation would become extremely complicated.

There was also another point. He had already said that someone on their side might have joined the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons. That was why only two people could know this plan: Jiang Taiyu and Lu Yuan.

”Then, Senior, what do you plan to do?” Lu Yuan knew Jiang Taiyu must already have an idea, so all he needed to do next was listen.

”Three days from now, I’ll move and launch an attack on the Celestials’ other ancestral land, starting a battle. That place is also a famous site, and the Celestials and Extracosmic Heavenly Demons are all there.

”They will definitely pour out in full force. At that time, we can find a way to enter the Celestials’ ancestral land. Then, relying on the ancient tokens inside your body, we will find the eighth one.”

Jiang Taiyu laid out the plan. He had thought through all of this long ago, but Lu Yuan had not arrived at the time, so he had been unable to carry it out. Now that Lu Yuan was here, it was time to begin.

”Good. Since Senior has already made a decision, this junior will naturally follow your lead.”

Lu Yuan understood very well that all of this was for the sake of obtaining the eighth Celestial Emperor’s Ancient Token. Perhaps this was also the real reason Jiang Taiyu had asked him to come.

”All right. That’s all I needed to tell you.”

After he had more or less explained everything, a smile appeared on Jiang Taiyu’s face. He said nothing more and simply raised his hand.

Lu Yuan immediately found himself back inside Thunder Firmament Hall.

Soon, Jiang Feiyi came over and led him to his residence. Jiang Ningxian and Jiang Haokong also had their own places and had gone to rest.

On the way to his residence, Lu Yuan noticed that experts from various races had already gathered here. All of them were at least at the Immortal Realm, and there were a great many of them.

Fortunately, Thunder Firmament Hall was large enough. Otherwise, it might not have been able to accommodate so many people.

Then again, this was the Celestials’ ancestral land.

What was an ancestral land?

It was the most important place of a race. If it could not even accommodate its people, how could it be called an ancestral land?

Soon enough, under Jiang Feiyi’s guidance, Lu Yuan arrived at the room prepared for him. Compared to Mount Tai, this place was indeed very luxurious, and it was also quite spacious.

The room itself was made of special materials and was extremely sturdy. Even a full-force strike from someone who had just entered the Immortal Realm would find it difficult to leave a mark on it.

That alone was remarkable. No matter what, the Celestials only came from a top hundred starfield. Among major clans of the same level, possessing such a foundation was already quite terrifying.

”King Lu, the Starfield Lord instructed that you should rest well here. We’ll inform you if anything happens,” Jiang Feiyi said.

Compared to when they had first met, he now held Lu Yuan in even greater respect. The person before him had slain three Extracosmic Heavenly Demons entirely by himself.

Jiang Feiyi had never seen anyone fight with such power before. In his heart, Lu Yuan was already comparable to a Celestial Seat Immortal.

After saying this, he spoke no further and turned to leave.

Soon, only Lu Yuan remained in the room. He stood there for a moment without speaking, then found a place and sat cross-legged. After two consecutive battles against the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons, he had gained some insight from the experience.

Lu Yuan wanted to try again to break through to the Celestial Seat Immortal Realm.
