“Senior brothers, what’s today’s date?” Nangong Hao turned towards the two disciples and asked.

“What’s... The date?!” the two disciples were startled by his question. They glanced at each other and noticed an obvious change in each other’s expression.

Unsurprised by their reactions, Nangong Hao nodded and continued, “It’s pretty hot, so I suppose it’s summer, right?”

“Yup, it’s two months away from Double Ninth Festival!” A disciple replied to him without thinking.

“Two months... Double Ninth Festival?” Nangong Hao nodded again before paying his respect to the two senior brothers again. Then, he turned around and took a few steps towards the Heaven Receiving Door and placed his hand on it.

Crack!

The Heaven Receiving Door trembled and closed again as if it was moved by a tremendous force.

“It... It closed?!”

“What’s, what’s going... On?”

The two disciples were shocked by what they saw. After all, they had seen how Mu Qingfeng, Chi Guyan, and Fang Zhengzhi closed the Heaven Receiving Door.

Yet... Nangong Hao managed to close it easily with a gentle tap just now?

This scene summoned their memories of the incident that took place in Heaven Dao Pavilion several months ago, which only took place because Nangong Hao used the Blood Offering Illustration.

The Heaven Receiving Door only appeared in Heaven Dao Pavilion because of the Bloor Offering Illustration too.

Most importantly, Nangong Hao attacked Nine Pinnacles Mountain Leader, Tian Xing. It happened so suddenly and unexpectedly. It remained a mystery even till today.

No one knew why Nangong Hao did that, but it was certain that he wasn’t following Heaven Dao Pavilion’s orders.

Rumble!

While the disciples were deep in their thoughts, the ground shook, following which, the Heaven Receiving Door, which was standing right at the center of Heaven Academic Altar, disappeared without a trace.

“It’s gone?!”

“Nangong Hao....Is controlling the Heaven Receiving Door?”

The disciples intuitively took a few steps back. They seemed terrified when they looked at him again.

Nangong Hao didn’t seem he wanted to wait any longer after doing that. He turned and walked towards the two disciples.

One step, two steps...

Nangong Hao wasn’t walk too quickly, but he wasn’t too slow either.

He soon reached the two disciples, before he turned and went past them. He was headed towards the sword peak.

The two disciples were drenched in sweat at this moment.

They were frozen solid from fear during the entire process.

“Nangong Hao, you can’t leave!” When Nangong Hao was already five steps away from them, one of the disciples finally said something.

It wasn’t because he had overcome his fear. It was his responsibility reminding him that he couldn’t let Nangong Hao have this place.

After all, Nangong Hao’s motive for attacking Tian Xing remained a mystery.

Most importantly, Nangong Hao was carrying the Heaven Receiving Door. Since they were tasked with guarding the door, how could they watch as Nangong Hao took the door away?

“Junior brother Nangong, the Sixth elder would be here soon. You’d best have an explanation for him. At the very least, could you tell us what have happened in the Heaven Receiving Door while you were inside?” another disciple gritted his teeth and asked.

He pulled out his sword at the same time and pointed its chilling tip towards Nangong Hao’s neck.

“That’s right, junior brother Nangong. After all, we were once fellow disciples. You could tell us if you are facing any problems... The master and Sixth elder would definitely be able to hell you!” the other disciple added.

Nangong Hao stopped walking at this moment. Then, he slowly turned around and looked at the two disciples. He was just watching them silently without any excessive movements.

However, in the two disciples’ eyes, Nangong Hao had turned into a completely different person.

He was cold and creepy.

A bloody radiance was flickering in his right eye continuously. They started spreading around like ripples, with Nangong Hao at the center.

Then... They saw a flash of red light.

He was so fast that it seemed like he teleported in front of them. They also saw a long sword with a pelt as clear as snow in the midst of the red radiance.

It was crystal clear like a piece of jade.

The sword moved!

However, it was silent!

The only thing that could be seen was the purple reflection of the lightning on the blade. It was so fast that they thought they were looking at an illusion.

Then, the world started turning in their eyes. Heaven became earth, and earth became heaven. They were changing so rapidly that the entire world turned dark.

There wasn’t too much pain, because the sword was sufficiently fast.

Nangong Hao appeared behind the two disciples, but they just stood there on the spot and didn’t move a single finger.

However, there were two more bloody heads on the ground.

“Nangong Hao?!”

“How’s that possible?! Where’s the Heaven Receiving Door... Why is Nangong Hao here?”

“What’s that on the ground... What the hell happened?”

At this moment, several anxious voices came from afar as a dozen people made their way to the Heaven Academic Altar rapidly.

However, the Heaven Academic Altar was already painted red with blood.

There was a massive and bloody Blood Offering Illustration on the ground. There was still a mist of blood in the air, exuding an intense scent of blood.

Amongst the dozen or so figures, there was a red-faced old man with white hair. His brows were tightly knitted together, unable to believe what he saw.

He was the Sixth elder who was tasked with handling all the administrative matters.

“Sixth... Sixth elder, I only saw the Heaven... Heaven Receiving Door op... opening. I didn’t... Didn’t know that Nangong... Nangong Hao came out...” The disciple that ran away first stood out of the crowd and exclaimed. He was pale as a sheet.

“Ok!” the sixth elder nodded.

He didn’t say another word, or even reprimand Nangong Hao. He simply scanned the entire Heaven Academic Altar before he gazed at Nangong Hao again.

Nangong Hao was silent too. He simply stood there while the Sixth elder and the group of disciples stared at him, as if he had nothing to do with any of this.

Was that true though?

The disciples of Heaven Dao Pavilion wouldn’t believe that. In that case, the Sixth elder couldn’t possibly be convinced, especially after he saw the blood dripping off Nangong Hao’s sword.

“Nangong Hao, is there a reason for doing this?” the Sixth elder finally took a step forward after a short silence. His countenance was extremely chilling.

“The world should have changed, right?” Nangong Hao didn’t answer the Sixth elder’s question. He just tilted his head up and murmured the question as if he was talking to himself.

“The world? Changed?” the Sixth elder was alarmed. He obviously knew about the weird phenomenon that were happening all over the world now.

However, even if he knew about it, Nangong Hao shouldn’t. At the very least, he shouldn’t have heard about it so quickly.

So, what did Nangong Hao mean?

Was it possible... That he had something to do with the changes?!

The Sixth elder trembled at this thought, because if he was right, it meant the changes in the world were man-made.

Man-made!

If he was actually right, then the entire thing, or rather, its consequences, would be too much for a normal person to handle.

“That’s right, it’s been so many years. Some things should be changed.” Nangong Hao retracted his gaze towards the sky and pointed Wuwei Sword at the ground.

“Change? What kind of change do you want?” the Sixth elder stopped the disciples behind him from talking. His expression was incredibly solemn at this moment.

He did that because he knew for sure that if the changes in the world had something to do with Nangong Hao, this entire matter would become unbelievably complicated.

Nangong Hao, Nangong Nobles...

They were so ancient that even Heaven Dao Pavilion didn’t know about them well.

It felt the Nangong Nobles had existed since the world first appeared and survived through the flow of time until now.

The Sixth elder didn’t know much about the Nangong family, but he had a hunch that Nangong Hao was the key to understanding everything.

“All existences were chaotic at the birth of Heaven and Earth. Pangu was born from the chaos and he turned pure existences into Heaven and impure existences into Earth. That’s the true reality of the world.” Nangong Hao said calmly.

“Turned pure existences into Heaven and impure existences into Earth? What does that mean?” The Sixth Elder frowned again. He obviously knew the literal meaning of Nangong Hao’s words, as they came from an ancient scripture.

However, he didn’t understand why Nangong Hao mentioned this excerpt at this moment.

“If a man was born as ‘Heaven’, how could he possibly be willing to stay as ‘Earth’?” Nangong Hao kept going on instead of explaining.

“What heaven... Earth? Nangong Hao... What are you talking about?” The Sixth elder didn’t understand him, but he had a bad feeling that something big was about to happen.
