Chapter 468 - Hunted By The Nine Heavens (1/2)

”As an exile, despite holding the Supreme Heaven's Legacy, Xiao Hua will be constantly hunted by other cultivators, so she might bring trouble to Brother Yuan.” Xiao Hua said to him.

”What? Why do you have to be hunted when you're a legacy holder?” Yuan asked her with wide eyes.

”Because that's how the Celestial Emperor made it. He wanted to make it as difficult as possible for exiles to escape their fate. If it was so easy to complete the legacy, people would've escaped the Primordial Realm long ago. However, after millions of years, nobody has managed to achieve true freedom.”  Xiao Hua said.

”Not only are we hunted by everyone in the Nine Heavens, but we also have our strength limited so that we wouldn't be able to ascend too quickly.”

”That's… That's just not fair… It's like they're treating exiles as animals.” Yuan was speechless.

”Fortunately, Xiao Hua won't have to worry about being hunted until after the third heaven, where cultivators have the ability to discern those who are exiles.”

'Is this why Miss Xu warned me to leave Xiao Hua's side as soon as possible? Because Xiao Hua will be constantly hunted by others, and if I am with her, I might also get hunted…' Yuan finally realized why Xu Jiaqi said what she said at that time.

It turned out that she was only concerned about him.

However, even if the entire world goes after Xiao Hua, Yuan has already decided that he wouldn't abandon her no matter what.

”Don't worry, Xiao Hua. Even if the entire world is against you, I will be on your side. In the first place, you didn't do anything wrong. If I ever get a chance to speak with the Celestial Emperor, I am going to give him a piece of my mind and seek justice for you.”

”Thank you, Brother Yuan.” Xiao Hua said, feeling relieved that Yuan didn't decide to abandon her because of her status.

”Xiao Hua, do you wish to visit your home? Is that why you asked that girl for the Ancient Seal?” Yuan asked her a moment later.

Xiao Hua nodded and said, ”One cannot leave the Primordial Realm without the Supreme Heaven's Legacy, but once they leave, they cannot return to the Primordial Realm without the Ancient Seal.”

”With the Ancient Seals, one can enter the Primordial Realm as they wish.”

”I see… Do you think the Four Ancient Families will lend us their Ancient Seals?”

”Probably not… But it doesn't matter what the Four Ancient Families think. As long as the person holding the Ancient Seal is willing, they can hand over the Ancient Seal.” Xiao Hua said.

”Oh? Who is currently holding the Ancient Seals? We won't know unless we try.” Yuan said, sounding a little enthusiastic.

Xiao Hua shook her head and said, ”Xiao Hua only knows that each family has one person holding the Ancient Seal, but that person's identity is very secretive, and only important figures in the families would hold such information.”

”Furthermore, the person holding the Ancient Seal can be anywhere in the Nine Heavens. For example, there could be a seal holder in the third heaven while the other seal holders are in the other heavens. After all, the Four Ancient Families exist all over the Nine Heavens.”
