Cultivation Online novel Chapter 1004

Chapter 1004 - Heaven's Regulation

"What the hell did you do just now? How did you open the Stairway to Heaven?" Lord Ji questioned Yuan after the shocking event.

"If you tell me why I am being hunted and I will tell you." He said.

"I already told you— I am only upholding Heaven's judgment. I don't know what you did, but I know that you must die."

"That doesn't really answer my question, so my question remains unanswered." Yuan shrugged.

"If you don't want to tell me, that's fine. You'll regret not leaving just now because that was your only chance to survive even a little longer!" Lord Ji smiled.

"Only a little longer? What can you do to me once I ascend to the Third Heaven?" Yuan raised an eyebrow.

"Hahaha! You're really foolish and ignorant! Do you really think that you'll be able to escape from punishment just because you escape to another Heaven? In case you forgot, my Ji Family exists in the other Heavens as well! As long as you remain alive, you will be hunted by the Nine Heavens!"

"Now you're telling me that I am going to be hunted by the Nine Heavens? That doesn't make any sense. You're making it sound like I am an Exile."

'Oh? So he knows about Exiles? How surprising.' Lord Ji appeared to be genuinely surprised that Yuan knew about Exiles, mostly because they are only ever mentioned in the upper heavens.

"I wouldn't compare myself to Exiles if I were in your shoes, Yuan. As an Exile, at least I can be pardoned by completing the Supreme Heaven's Legacy. However, your situation is different. There are no second chances— no opportunity for you to be pardoned! The Heavens have already dictated you as a dead man! No matter where you go in the Nine Heavens, you will be hunted by those who serve the Heavens!"

Yuan frowned upon hearing this.

He will be hunted no matter where he went in the Nine Heavens? What did he do to deserve such a punishment? Furthermore, even if he can defeat everyone here today, it will be much harder for him to ascend now that the entire world is suddenly against him.

"So you will kill me today no matter what, is that correct?" Yuan asked for confirmation.

"That's right." Lord Ji confirmed.

"Young Master, no matter what you did, even if the entire world is your enemy, I will forever be your loyal servant." Feng Yuxiang suddenly said to him in a calm voice.

"Xiao Hua will always be with Brother Yuan as well." Xiao Hua said.

"I swore my loyalty to you, Yuan. Even if the Heavens are against you, I shall fight by your side." Lan Yingying said.

Yuan smiled and said, "Thank you. I'm really glad to have the three of you by my side."

He then turned to look at Lord Ji and said, "As much as I want to kill everyone here for wanting to kill me, I am not that ruthless, so consider yourselves lucky."

Yuan knocked on the door to the Stairway to Heaven the next moment, causing it to open again.
