Cultivation Online novel Chapter 1738

Chapter 1738 Removed From the Celestial Overlords

"And once you've become a True Immortal, I will help you regain your previous position in the Celestial Overlords." Xu Jiaqi said.

Originally, she planned on uniting the Celestial Overlords by herself, but with Yuan's Fateful Reincarnation, she tossed all of her initial plans down the drain to help Yuan ascend the Celestial Overlords. She was confident that Yuan had reincarnated to help the Celestial Overlords.

Sometime later, Xu Jiaqi retrieved Yuan's Celestial Overlords symbol and rank, essentially removing him from the faction.

"Don't worry, the ranks are meaningless to you, who will ascend beyond the Celestial Overlords in the future." Xu Jiaqi said to him.

"I am not worried, nor do I blame you for making this decision. As a matter of fact, I was going to ask you to temporarily remove me from the faction because of a certain incident."

"What incident? Is this related to why Kelan asked me to speak with you?" Xu Jiaqi frowned.

Yuan nodded and said, "You understand the existence of people like me—players, right?"

She nodded, "Of course."

"Then are you aware that we require the system to visit the Nine Heavens?"

"I don't have a full understanding of the system since we natives of the Nine Heavens don't have anything like that, but I know it's something that assists the people from your world—these players in the Nine Heavens."

"Yes, that's the gist of it. Anyway, without the system, we players cannot travel to the Nine Heavens with our souls, and the Celestial Emperor has control of that system."

After a slight pause, he continued, "The Celestial Emperor has blocked my access to the system, meaning I can no longer enter the Nine Heavens—"

"He what?!" Xu Jiaqi roared as killing intent exploded from her being.

"Let me finish…"

Yuan hastily continued, "However, due to a miracle, I was able to remain in the Nine Heavens, but I am no longer able to log off—return to my world. I am basically stuck in the Nine Heavens as a piece of my soul until I reach the Seventh Heaven and visit the Dragon Spiral Mountain there."

"Do you know why the Celestial Emperor acted against you?" Xu Jiaqi asked. "If not, I will go to the Celestial Emperor and demand an answer even if I must be forceful."

"Please don't. And it most likely has something to do with my Fateful Reincarnation."

"Wait…" Xu Jiaqi's face suddenly became contemplative.

'Now that I think about it, while Father would occasionally assist the Celestial Emperor with the faction, he never personally assisted the Celestial Emperor. He even refused to be associated with the Celestial Emperor to remain a neutral faction…'

Xu Jiaqi began recalling the finer details of her memories with Tian Yingzhe, who would never smile while in the presence of the Celestial Emperor despite always smiling everywhere else.

'Did Father have some sort of grievance with the Celestial Emperor…?' Xu Jiaqi wondered inwardly. 'Did the Celestial Emperor have something to do with Father's disappearance—death?'

"If you speak to the Celestial Emperor, he would realize that I am still in the Nine Heavens, and there is also the possibility that he has people in the Celestial Overlords working for him," Yuan said.

"If you put it like that, I agree we shouldn't let the Celestial Emperor know. But will you be fine?"
