Zhuge Rulong's eyes burst forth with divine light, revealing his excitement.
"The treasure of the Tianji Sect?" The others looked astonished. The Tianji Sect was one of the top forces in the ancient celestial realm, a colossal entity known for its ability to predict the future. The ancestors of the Zhuge family were once part of the Tianji Sect but were later expelled, becoming mere abandoned children, establishing the Zhuge family as it exists today.
Just how powerful was the ancient Tianji Sect? They couldn't even begin to imagine.
"The Tianji Ling, it could possibly be the one that disappeared in that secret realm." Zhuge Rulong suddenly exclaimed, his gaze shooting out divine rainbows, even a little excited: “Zhuge Yao, I remember you saying that back in that secret realm, Xiahou Zun obtained the inheritance of the formation. Therefore, it’s very likely he got the Tianji Ling. At that time, it was merely our Zhuge family's speculation, but now it seems to indeed be the Tianji Ling.”
Zhuge Rulong's voice trembled.
In ancient times, during the war between humans and demons, the Tianji Sect made predictions to counter the Demon Tribe, resulting in a backlash that caused many experts to fall. However, they made great contributions to the war, as the various tribes were oblivious to why the Demon Tribe suddenly became so powerful. It was the Tianji Sect that predicted the arrival of the dark forces and pointed the way for the tribes.
But the Tianji Sect was also punished by heavenly retribution, suffering severe losses and being attacked by dark forces as they felt threatened by the Tianji Sect. Eventually, the sect was even annihilated.
This battle saw the dark forces take action themselves to erase the Tianji Sect. It was a battle that darkened the heavens and the earth and was one of the most crucial battles that led to the shattering of the celestial realm.
Later, though the Tianji Sect was destroyed, the various tribes used the predictions made by the Tianji Sect to devise strategies against the dark forces, which allowed them to fend off the Demon Tribe. Otherwise, the various tribes would have been annihilated in that ancient battle.
Thus, the Tianji Sect held an extremely important position in the hearts of the human race and the various tribes. This is one of the primary reasons why the Zhuge family desperately wanted to return to the Tianji Sect and gain recognition from the top forces of the celestial realm. As long as the top forces acknowledged the Zhuge family as inheritors of the Tianji Sect, with the Tianji Sect's reputation in the celestial realm, the Zhuge family would have no fear of others and could walk with confidence; this was a tremendous political capital.
However, the Zhuge family had been unable to find the Tianji Ling of the Tianji Sect.
And now, the Tianji Ling had actually appeared.
It was rumored that whoever obtained the Tianji Ling would have the possibility to unlock the inheritance left behind by the Tianji Sect in ancient times. The inheritance of the Tianji Sect was of utmost importance to the Zhuge family.
"The person being pursued by the Demon Tribe's Demon Lord, who enslaved Xiahou Zun and obtained the Tianji Ling, is very likely the same person who killed Zhuge Rulong."
Zhuge Rulong breathed rapidly, a faint light blooming in his eyes.
The others, including Zhuge Yao, gasped in shock. If that were the case, did that mean they were very close to the other party?
But why would the other party want to kill the elders of the Zhuge family?
"The other party has targeted my Zhuge family."
Zhuge Rulong said solemnly, "Although I don’t know how it happened, this person should be aware of our Zhuge family's origins and has set their sights on us."
"Old Ancestor, what should we do now?"
Zhuge Yao and the others asked urgently.
"Don't rush; let me calculate a bit." Zhuge Rulong said as he touched the blood at the corner of his mouth.
"Old Ancestor, should we think this through?"
Zhuge Yao and the others were startled. If Old Ancestor Zhuge Rulong encountered the previous situation again, they would suffer. Another heavenly retribution would leave them helpless.
