Chapter 1530: Cloud Heavenly Emperor

As the Emptiness Heavenly Emperor's voice resounded through the heavens and the earth, the plentiful clouds and mist began to condense and then dissipate, revealing a new figure before the group. Everyone turned their eyes over.

This person was standing atop the clouds, as straight as a pine tree. He was garbed in a white moon robe that fluttered gently in the wind. His clothes were embroidered with the pattern of flowing clouds and a sea of clouds wafted around his body. He had an extraordinarily handsome face and his eyes seemed to contain an endless world filled with clouds, giving off a mysterious appearance. The corners of his lips were lifted in a faint smile. His long, black hair was hanging casually, dotted with a few silver strands. He was the embodiment of a handsome man with exceptional bearing and elegance.

Wang Xuanjin, Bai Yu, and Jin Xi immediately clasped their hands respectfully upon seeing him. "Greeting, Cloud Heavenly Emperor!"

From afar, Diwu Mingxuan, Sheng Qiao'er, and the rest of the mentors hurriedly paid their respects as well, their gazes filled with immense reverence and emotion. Even they rarely had the opportunity to set their eyes on the Academic Federation's Heavenly Emperors, despite their position as elite mentors.

Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e similarly acted the same away, but their gazes were filled with curiosity as they snuck glances at the extraordinary man.

This was the Academic Federation's Heavenly Emperor?

Their horizons has been broadened today, having witnessed the true bodies of two Heavenly Emperors. This was something they had never experienced before.

However, the Heavenly Emperor's descent signalled that they no longer had any right to participate in the upcoming battle.

Meanwhile, the white-robed man smiled and said warmly, "It's been tough on the group of you."

His tone was friendly and refreshing.

After which, the Cloud Heavenly Emperor turned towards Jiang Qing'e with a smile. "After so many years, the Genesis Seed has finally reappeared. This is a great blessing for the Academic Federation. Is your name Jiang Qing'e?"

Jiang Qing'e nodded and clasped her fist, responding, "Jiang Qing'e greets the Cloud Heavenly Emperor."

"There is no need to stand on ceremony. Is your teacher that little girl Zhen Mingyu?" The Cloud Heavenly Emperor smirked. That was the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College's Third School Master, but to the Cloud Heavenly Emperor, she was no different from a little girl. However, considering his strength, he did have the right to speak this way.

Jiang Qing'e nodded.

"If we have to go by seniority, then I can be considered your master's uncle. After all, Zhen Mingyu was my student many years ago within the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College." The Cloud Heavenly Emperor beamed, his words genial and light like a pack of clouds.

Jiang Qing'e and Li Luo were a little taken aback by this casual reply as they had not expected them to be related this way.

Jiang Qing'e didn't know what the other party was trying to imply by saying those words, but it seemed a little disrespectful if she didn't agree with him. Thus, she only hesitated briefly before changing the way she addressed him.

"Uncle Master Cloud."

The Cloud Heavenly Emperor smiled warmly before nodding in approval. "Haha, the Academic Federation doesn't follow such titles, so you don't have to worry about it."

"'Uncle Master Cloud' does have a nice ring to it. This is the first time I've had someone address me this way."

It truly did look as though he liked the way he was addressed...

Meanwhile, Wang Xuanjin, Elder Bai Yu, and Elder Jin Xi were quietly pouting. There were innumerable juniors who were willing to address him this way, but he had never acknowledged them... However, they understood the Cloud Heavenly Emperor's intentions. After all, she was the Genesis Seed and was also someone who belonged to the Academic Federation. Thus, he would naturally hope to win her over.

Jiang Qing'e could also vaguely sense why the other party treated her so specially and thus, she immediately pulled Li Luo's hand and said, "Uncle Master Cloud, this is my husband, Li Luo."

The Cloud Heavenly Emperor then turned to Li Luo and gave a surprised smile. "My own horizons have been broadened. Not only did I get to witness the presence of the Genesis Seed, but also the long lost Absolute Resonance Seed. Legend has it that it is the Sacred Void Resonance Sect Master's legacy, and only the Sect Master and his successors could cultivate it. It looks like when your parents entered the Sacred Void Resonance Sect's ruins all those years ago, they stumbled upon the legacy of the Absolute Resonance Seed."

Deep in Li Luo's heart, he felt a sense of shock. It was essentially impossible to keep any secrets when standing before a Heavenly Emperor. He must have sensed the Absolute Resonance Halo within the depths of his body. Kings were unable to detect the unique fluctuations of the Absolute Resonance Halo, but Heavenly Emperors were instantly able to identify how special it was. The secrets he had kept hidden for years were immediately spotted by these Heavenly Emperors. Furthermore, based on the Cloud Heavenly Emperor's words, he clearly had a good understanding of the Sacred Void Resonance Sect. Perhaps that wasn't surprising as the Academic Federation had lasted for such a long time and thus the information they had access to far surpassed an ordinary Heavenly Emperor power.

"I'm quite well acquainted with Heavenly Emperor Li. We even joined hands to fight the Other Heavenly Emperors within the Nobles' Battlefield. If he were to learn that his descendant has obtained the Absolute Resonance Seed, he would definitely be ecstatic," the Cloud Heavenly Emperor warmly said.

Li Luo immediately cupped his hand respectfully as well. After briefly exchanging pleasantries with the two, the Cloud Heavenly Emperor then turned his gaze towards the Void Heavenly Emperor with a smile. "Emptiness Heavenly Emperor, don't you think that the Origin Reversion Institute has overstretched their claws by setting foot here?"

The Emptiness Heavenly Emperor retorted, "Cloud Heavenly Emperor, does the Academic Federation truly believe that the Celestial Mirror Pagoda belongs to them?"

"The Celestial Mirror Pagoda is a relic from the Sacred Void Resonance Sect. The Academic Federation is following in their aspirations and beliefs, using this location to nurture excellent sprouts to resist the Others and protect the billions of lives that live here," the Cloud Heavenly Emperor responded.

"Regardless of how strong the Sacred Void Resonance Sect was, they failed to put an end to the Others. How can the Academic Federation speak so arrogantly in that case? It's clear that your path is misguided," the Emptiness Heavenly Emperor replied.

This was met with the Cloud Heavenly Emperor's cordial response. "Then do you believe that releasing the Others into the world is the right decision? It will only lead to the extinguishing of lives. Perhaps not even one in ten would survive."

"However, whoever remains will be the bearers of hope," the Void Heavenly Emperor calmly said.

The Cloud Heavenly Emperor shook his head, no longer deigning to argue with the other side on their choices. If words could have resolved their differences, they would not have struggled against each other for such a long time.

"You should leave, Emptiness Heavenly Emperor."

The Emptiness Heavenly Emperor shook its head and smiled. "How can I leave when what I want is right in front of me? Are you the only one who can take action on the Academic Federation's side?"

The Cloud Heavenly Emperor frowned. "What are you planning? Is there anything in the Celestial Mirror Pagoda that can catch your fancy? Could it be the Heavenly Emperor remains? Or are you saying you have other intentions?"

As the Cloud Heavenly Emperor's gaze flickered whilst observing the area around the Celestial Mirror Pagoda, his eyes gradually turned white, capable of seeing through anything and everything. He was now using his full power to inspect the deepest parts of the Celestial Mirror Pagoda.

When the Cloud Heavenly Emperor's eyes turned white, the void suddenly shattered. Li Luo, Jiang Qing'e, and the rest could see a gigantic corpse quietly lying in the extreme ends of the void.

The corpse was covered in numerous ancient runic patterns, and just looking at it caused a sharp pain to lance through their eyeballs and blood to streak from the corners of their eyes. A terrifying pressure radiated from the giant corpse.

Crystals were constantly flying out of the corpse's body and disintegrating into motes of glowing dust, dispersing across the entirety of the Celestial Mirror Pagoda.

These grains of dust were not foreign to the group—they were none other than Celestial Mirror Sand, which they had fought over during the Domain Traversal Battles! Clearly, this mysterious corpse lay at the core of the Celestial Mirror Pagoda.

A Heavenly Emperor's remains.
