Title: Training Celestial Mountain
.....
Blood Devil Cliff was a place where prisoners were imprisoned.
This place was considered an inner world of the Judiciary Hall and outsiders would have no way to enter, let alone having a Devil King priest leading the way for him.
In addition, earlier before the Devil King priest left, he even said that if Hinami were to leave this place now, the grand priest wouldn't have any objections at all.
This caused Hinami's eyes to flash with curiosity as she stared unblinkingly at Shun.
"Shun how did you manage to do it?" Hinami asked in a gentle voice.
"Are you referring to how I entered the Judiciary Hall? I naturally walked straight in the front door." Shun laughed.
Hinami's lips twitched as she rolled her eyes, "Stop bragging."
"Haha big sis, what sort of character is our husband? Is there something he cannot do?" Ria laughed.
Shun's lips curled up in a smile as he ruffled Hinami's hair.
Hinami was somewhat in a daze but she soon started laughing as well.
This scene was like three of them have returned to their childhood.
Ria still remembered how she worshiped him when she was young. Anything he did and said were always fascinating and mind blowing.
"Shun let's talk when we leave here." Ria hugged Shun's arm as she smiled, as though she had returned to herself back in the past, the girl who loved to cling on Shun, who loved to play with Him.
"Mhm." Shun nodded. Ria hasn't changed at all.
The three of them soared through the air. A terrifying devil might gushed forth from Shun, causing many of the prisoners here to not dare to get near them.
Only those insane devil experts would obstruct them, and all of them who came were easily destroyed by Shun.
When she saw Shun's strength, Hinami was very happy but wasn't too shocked. As expected, there was nothing her Shun gege couldn't accomplish.
"Nami-chan, back then I searched the area we came in through but I couldn't find you. How did you become the priestess of the Judiciary Devil Hall?" Shun curiously asked.
"I have no idea as well. Back then at the gate, I teleported to ancient looking ruin and entered an altar and was chosen by the power of judgement and teleported here. Only after a long time did I know that the Judiciary Devil Hall had placed numerous judgement altars in many islands. The purpose of the altars were able to initiate a selection by the judgement will that served to select seedlings who were most suited to train in the power of judgement. I was selected somehow."
Hinami laughed in a casual tone. However the truth wasn't as simple as what she summarized.
Her being able to have her position today naturally meant that a great amount of luck was involved.
However her determination, will and persistence couldn't be ignored either.
If not, she wouldn't have been able to pass the tests at the Devil Statue Cliff and would have already died there.
"Shun, what about you? During this period of time when I was imprisoned, what happened when you entered the Saint Devil Hall? Could it be that you also obtained the inheritance of the Judiciary Devil Hall and are now heavily regard by the hall? This is the reason you gained permission to enter here. In that case, does that mean that you would be a judiciary priest in the future as well?" Hinami contemplated for a moment as she probed.
Shun shrugged, "The inheritance of the Judiciary Devil Hall? Are you intentionally underestimating me?"
Hinami rolled her eyes. Staring at the self-satisfied look of Shun, she then laughed, "Could it be that you gained more than one inheritance from there?"
"Nope." Shun shook her head. When he stared at Hinami, he smiled and stated, "I think I managed to obtain the inheritance of the Myriad God Sovereign."
After speaking, Shun rubbed his nose in an extremely self-satisfying manner. Hinami's beautiful eyes froze as she mumbled in disbelief, "Really?"
"I think there should be no mistake." Shun laughed.
Ria let out a joyful giggle. She then clasped her hands over her mouth, and when she glanced at Shun, a radiant smile appeared on her face.
Her Shun was so awesome, he actually managed to obtain the inheritance of the Myriad God Sovereign.
"In that case, Shun you have a chance to become the master of the Celestial Mountain." Hinami mumbled.
Shhn's eyes flickered as he asked, "Is the Myriad God Sovereign a real existence? If he is, does he reside on the Celestial Mountain?"
"I have no idea." Hinami shook her head. "But I know for sure the Myriad God Sovereign does truly exist. If not, there is no way that the Celestial Mountain could be so stable despite the passage of countless years. The powerful supreme devil halls would long for supremacy and become divided, given the crafty personalities of the masters of the supreme halls, each having their own schemes and plots. I believe that if their hearts have no true reverence for the sovereign, the Celestial Mountain would have long crumbled into dust."
Shun nodded his head lightly, he agreed fully with this point. The Celestial Mountain was said to have ten thousand devil halls, and at the very peak of the mountain, other than the Saint Devil Hall, there are six other supreme halls, each with a master of its own.
There was no way things would be so harmonious if there wasn't someone they deeply feared or respected in their hearts.
This person which they feared, other than the Myriad God Sovereign, there wouldn't be anyone else. If there's someone else, that person would be the Myriad God Sovereign for sure.
"However, I've never heard of the sovereign appearing before. I only know that the Saint Devil Hall had existed since the beginning and the various inheritances of the other supreme halls are from there."
"There's also rumors saying that if someone could obtain the inheritance of the Myriad God Sovereign, he or she would be his true successor, with a possibility to truly unite the Celestial Mountain and become the God Sovereign of a generation."
Hinami explained. She then stared at Shun, "If this is true, Shun, it's possible that you might become the God Sovereign of this generation."
"God Sovereign?" Shun's eyes flashed. He didn't think of this before.
After obtaining the inheritance, he knew he would soon face danger.
Luckily, a hegemon-level character spoke up for him and caused the crisis to be averted.
It seems that that expert who didn't show himself might know of this in detail.
He wondered what it meant exactly for him to gain the inheritance of the Myriad God Sovereign.
However, Shun couldn't be bothered to think so much. He will first try cultivating for a number of years on the Celestial Mountain before directly returning to the Shinobi wordl.
As for this inheritance of the Myriad God Sovereign, he will considered this seriously in the future.
The him now wasn't qualified because he simply wasn't strong enough yet and his desire for adventure had already diminished after knowing all the things he knows now.
And if care is not taken, one of his earlier speculations would be proven true and should that be the case, he really will go back and even seal up the gate leading to that part of the world.
"Hinami, let me tell you what happened exactly in detail. You help me to analyse who that mysterious person might be." Shun then told everything to her.
A look of pondering flashed in Hinami's eyes before she replied, "It should be one of the Devil True Emperors who sits in the throne of one of the supreme devil halls. If I didn't guess wrongly, the owner of that ethereal voice might be the King Priest of the Judiciary Hall."
"King Priest? The devil master of the Judiciary Hall?" Shun's eyes flickered.
After that voice rang out, the grand priest did indeed apologize first. From a certain angle, Hinami's guess might be right.
For those who could make the grand priest submit so easily, the king priest should be the only one.
The King Priest truly possesses towering amounts of authority. He could make a judgement on anything and if people disagreed or refused to comply, he could do anything he want to do them.
Hence, when he gave an order, no one in the Myriad Islands would dare to defy him.
"He actually said that you can have access to all the other supreme devil halls and the other supreme devil halls didn't object either. In that case, shouldn't I give you the judgement techniques?"
"Forget it, I already implicated you, causing you to be imprisoned." Shun shook his head.
"Sadly, the inheritance of the Myriad God Sovereign cannot be pass down directly. One has to experience attacks from his will personally, or I would have already passed that on to you."
"It's fine, we already guessed that the owner of the ethereal voice might be the King Priest. If that's the case, the better our relationship is, the happier the Judiciary Devil Hall would be. In the future if you truly become the controller of the Celestial Mountain, wouldn't that be an ending the Judiciary Hall wished to see?" Hinami smiled.
Shun glanced at her. Hinami seemed to have reverted back to her naive and innocent self of her younger days before him, but she was still extremely intelligent.
As the three of them conversed, they unknowingly already reached the exit point of the Blood Devil Cliff.
Hinami used special methods and brought Shun out of this dimension, returning to the inner world of the Judiciary Devil Hall.
The devil king priest was there waiting for them. When he saw Shun appearing, he couldn't help but to smile, "Priestess, earlier the grand priest send out a command. If Shhn needs anything in our Judiciary Devil Hall, you will be responsible for fulfilling all his needs. You can also share with him and aid him in our arts and techniques."
"I hear and obey." Hinami bowed in a certain direction.
"Brother Shun, since Hinami will lead you, I won't be a busybody then. Farewell." The Devil King Priest turned and left.
Hinami stared at his departing back as her smile grew even more radiant. "Shun, seems like the last remnant of our doubt is already solved."
Shun's eyes gleamed. Seems like the Judiciary Devil Hall really wanted to salvage their relationship and decided to befriend him.
Shun didn't believe that things were so simple as that of him obtaining the Myriad God Sovereign's inheritance.
Maybe what Hinami said was right, the Myriad God Sovereign truly does exist as his will is hidden here somewhere on the Celestial Mountain, causing the Mountain to operate like clockwork according to preset rules.
"Let me bring you to take a look at some of the extremely powerful innate techniques and arts of our hall. Although they might be as powerful as those ones we've seen from your books, they're still okay." Hinami pulled Shun along as she led the way with Ria tagging along.
Shun could only bitterly smile as he nodded. She seemed even more urgent in comparison to him.
Shun followed her and after that, he started on a period of cultivation with Hinami and Ria learning all the techniques that could be learnt and revising some for better usage.
A year later, he exited the Judiciary Hall and headed to the other halls.
No one obstructed him, but the Apostle Devil Hall was too unfathomable and wasn't suited for him.
The Darkness Devil Hall was extremely secretive, as though they didn't really welcome him who was a Celestial.
As for the Sky Devil Hall, Shun discovered that the techniques and arts there were inferior compared to the Judiciary Devil Hall.
For the Imperial Dragon Devil Hall, when She saw him appearing in the devil hall he was in, and was brought to their library of secret techniques and arts by seniors of the hall, his countenance became immensely ugly to behold.
But now, his status was a far cry away when compared to Shun.
What a pitiful thing indeed.
His hatred for Shun was destined to never be avenged.
The Myriad Ancient Devil Hall was very friendly to Shun but he discovered that he wasn't really suited to their techniques.
As for Fenrir, he seemed extremely proficient in them and appeared to be a truly suitable successor to take over the Myriad Ancient Devil Hall!
That's weird looking man from earlier was also there and he seemed to be a Buddhist practicing devil techniques, Shun was baffled at that but remained civil as he felt eeked out whenever that person looks at him with that fake smile of his.
